Last week ono of these fruitless attacks was ,
made at Harrisburg. Hut notwithstanding It I
was effectually squelched by tho moro sensl
bio members of tho Legislature, tho Herald
decided to send a representative to tho
hospital and sco If there really was any cause
forcotnplaint.
Tho reporter was pleasantly received at
oncof tho hospitvl entrances by ono of tka
curses and, tho call licing made during
visitors' hours, was told to roam about at
will. Wo sometimes hear the praises of the
good old Now England -peoplo because of
their neatness and cloatilincss. Go to the
Miners' Hospital on tho hill near Fountain
Springs and ask yourself If the poets and
composers have not missed something. Tho
floors of tho corridors aud wards are us whito
and clean as labor can mako them and when
the sun shines throagh tho window panes it
makes them as clear as crystel and not a
speck of any kind can bo foua-d on them
And then the kitchen 3 Tho roportir

Each coi had its saow-vAito covering and
plllsw, each patient worchis clean, neat shirt,
and not a spot marrod tho snow-like 11 p
peurauco ot tlio llojr 111 inuo passage ways or
about tlio bods.
Now ,vhat does this 'institution and Its
'management aooe-tnpliah beside discipline
aad cle&nlincss. It is supposed to take care
of thodnjurcd, seme wlllaay. Yea, verily, it
lis supposed to do so and does. The hospital
.at Fountain Springs is supposed and is only
intoridfd to tako care of.EG patients at a time,
but the average for tho jiast six mouths has
beeniOO. On May ltt, dast, there wero 110
Jiatients there ; on May 2d thero were 114
and. on May 3d, 109. Theso figures aro based
41pon.au inspection of the olUcial records of
tho Jioapitat by the IIehald reporter when
' ho niado tho visit. Think of a hospital
intended to accomniodateouly 56 patients and
really caring for lid -being charged with
extravagance because ite superintendent and
surgeon-lu-chlef recelvos.a salary of $2,fi00.
But what do tho patients say? Terhaps
manydo not care becauee they are mostly
Huu 6, Italians and Poles .who had no business
to coino to the mines of this region and suffer
the penalty. But, mark you, there is a great
change in this connection. Three, or four
years ago tho poor foreigners wero in tho
majority in tho wards, but by actual count
madeon tho visit spoken of there were in
one row of nineteen cota ono Italian, four
Hungarians aud Poles and the fourteon other
cots contained Irish, German. English and
American patients. In other words but about
seventy .five per cent, of tho patients aro of
the nationalities last named.
The reporter noted the names and resi
dences of some of tho patients to give tho
public an idea of the immense territory that
depends upon this institution. Ono is Will- j
lam Zimmorman, all year old boy of Mt,
Carmel, Injured at tho Merriam colliery. Dr.
Biddlo operated upon him. Tho case was a
wcry bad rupture. Tho surgeon put a tuba
In at tho front of the body and ran clean
tlrough uutll it protruded at the hack, ju.t
below the kidneys. This tube served as a
passageway for the urine for two weeks. It
has been removed and tho boy Is rapidly re
covering. Among other patients are John
Southall, Elleugowan; William McElvaln,
Mt. Carmel; J. Coouan, Palo Alto; Wilhelm
Shotz, Tremont; Charles S. Hassenplug, of
Lewisburg, but iujured at Maliauoy Plane;
Robert Welsh, Willianistown; and many from
Shenandoah. The patients hail from all
parts of this mid sjMjoining counties.
Ono of the most remarkable of recent
cases at the hospital was that of a German
named Robert Nuchtun. Ho is now convales-
cent' N"ohten's leg was frightfully raashed
about th knee joint and amputation seemed
ltut Ba absolute uscoitlty. Dr. Riddle
made numerous inoUlong and sunimgnajl all
tlierasoHieesof his skill to save the limb,
aud sueeeeded, A gentleman having
knowledge of tho ease said to the repgrtqt,
did in that case, and if ho wero paid 1
prlvato practlco In proportion to tho services
ho rendered In that mid many other critical
cases ho could retire wealthy In a year." ,
Just as tlio reporter was about to leave mo
hospital ho met in ono of tho corridors a man

WHERE IS ADAM DANNER ?
An Old Sinn's Lour- Search Tor Ilia
Sou.
This morning a poorly dressed man with
whito hair and beard walked into the Her
ald oltioo and asked that the paper give
publicity to a request for information con
cerning his son. The visitor's story was this:
"My name is Adam Danner. I am 61 years
of ago. I live at Indiana, Indiana county,
this stato. On tho 10th of May, 1691, my
son, whose naino is also Adam, left my, home
in Indiana, saying he would seek employ
ment iu the coal region. I waited a year and
hearing nothing of him commenced to make
inquiries, but up to now I havo not secured
the slightest trace. I have spent what little
money I had in postal cards and letters and
havo been tramping about tho country until
my health was broken and I fear my mind is
giving way. I havo tramped through all tho
coal fields of Virginia, Maryland and Penn
sylvania, but at no placo have I learned any
thing of my son. If I knew his fate I would
bo satisfied. Adam is SO years of age, 5 feet
6 inches in height, has blue eyes, and when
ho left home wore dark whiskers. He stam
mers occasionally and Is a little weak
minded."
Mr. Danner said ho would soon glvo up
the search and return to Indiana. He aikod
that uuy one having information notify
Frank Douahoe, of Indiana. A request was
also made that the Herald axehaugos give
publicity to tho case.

T is now timo for tho
Borongh Council to bo
giu making plans for
tho organization of u
local Hoard of Health.
Tho State Senate yea.
tcrday passed tho bill
authorizing boroughs to establish such bodlea
and thcro is not tho slightest doubt that tho
Governor will Blgn tho bill.
Tllcro j3 no rcasou why
the Borough
It had tinioly
Council Should not BCt
notice that tho measure was pending and as
tho summer season Is rapidly drawing nigh
no time should bo lost to preparo for a com
pliance with its provisions.
Soveral weeks ngo Councilman Finuey
called attcutionMo tho bill in the Borough
Council and stated that he bad no doubt that
it would pass. At tho samo timo ho askod
that tho chairman of Council mako ready to
comply with tho law and furnished a copy of
tho bill for publication In the dally papers.
At tho next meeting of Council it was an
nounced by the chairman that no steps hail
been taken on Mr. Finney's suggestion bo
cause tho passage of tho bill had not been an
nounced, and since that time the matter lia
remained on tho tablo.
Now tho proper timo to net has arrived and
it is hoped tho matter will bo thoroughly
ventilated and discussed at tho next Council
meeting, which will bo held to-morrow night,
so that the chairman will bo able to announce
his appointments at tho regular meeting to
bo held on tho 19th inst., should tho bill bo
signed In tho meantime, aud by tho 1st of
Juuo tho local Board of Health will bo well
under way.
Let Council act promptly in this matter.
Another bill that asscd the Senato yester
day and which oxcitod much local interest
was that extending the terms of Chief Bur
gess to three years. This mattor has been a
theme of discussion in Shenandoah for years.
A necessity for such an extension was felt
hero because tho pooplo saw that electing a
Burgess for 0110 year was a farce, because It
takes tho official about six mouths to loartt
what his duties aro and the balance of tho
yoar is consumod by his feuco building for a
re-election. Under a one-year term tho Bur
gess is useless, but under tho new law ho
will be obliged to attend to his duties or step
down.
Another popular moasuro that passed the
Senato yesterday was a bill to require school
directors to furnish school books and school
supplies free of cost. Many residents of this
town urged the passage of this bill by peti
tions and personal overtures to tho Repre
sentatives and Senators.
Tho measure is known as the Farr Free
School Text bill. It received a surprisingly
largo vote, only two Senators voting against
it. They wero Ross, of Bucks, and Mitchell,
of Bradford. Tho bill provides that the
books now In the bauds of the pupils shall
not bo dlscardod for new books. This will
prevent extravagance. The measure will be
followed with an appropriation of $600,000
which will bo in addition to the $5,000,000
appropriation to the public schools for tlio '
next two years.
