GRESHAM
MEMORIAL
The New Hospital to be Dedi
cated January 21.
DUE OF THE ffl-IKT
Mr. Gresham Will bt Present at the
Dedication—A Fine Equip
ment.
The Gresham Memorial Hospital will be
dedicated on the 21st ot January. Thi« is
the date which has been decided upon by
the building committee. The date had
been set for the 15th, but it has-been
changed and unless something happens to
prevent they will be held on the 21st.
The building has been completed and is
one of the best hospital buildings in the
south. It is located near the present city
hospital builiding and will' be connected
with it. The building has no front en
trance and it will be necessary to enter
the old building before going into the new
one. Thlft was done so that the patients
would not be disturbed.
For some time past the present building
has been entirely inadequate and only a
few patients could be accommodated. The
new hospital is well lighted and ventilated
and the building committee hopes to have
it heated by steam. In it wi'll be the
eleeping roome of the nurses and physi
ciane and in addition it will have room for
a large number of patients.
On the day set for dedication Mr. T. B.
tiresham, the donor, will be in the city
and in addition to the other speeches that
will be made his son will also make one.
Many prominent citizens will deliver
speeches on that date and the exercises
will be very appropriate.
• Mr. Henry Horne, who is chairman of
the building committee, is arranging the
program and he is being assisted by Mr.
Campbell T. King.

Some Startling Disclosures as to the Bat
tle of Santiago,
Admirals and captains are brave enough
and keen tactici-ans, no doubt, -but the
best part of the 'Spanish fleet would have
slipped through somebody’s fingers that
Sunday morning at Santiago if America’s
fighting engineers bad not, by the hardest
of work, overcome the obstacles imposed
upon them by orders from the bridge. If
the fighting had been against men more
nearly kin —say English or German —un-
der conditions identical with those off
Santiago on the morning of July 3, some
American hulks might now be rusting at
the bottom of the tropic seas. For en
gines were uncoupled, and many fires out,
and steam so low that all the energy of
the stokers was required to get it up
again,
The American ships had been off the
coast for weeks, waiting for the enemy
to come out. When the enemy came out
the American ships 'were ready to shoot
but not to give chase. This > va s no fault
of the engineers. It was tue result Os a
condition peculiar to naval' practice. In
the navy the ship’s captain decides how
many boilers shall be used, how much coal
shall be burned, what pressure shall be
carried. And the American captains at
Santiago had everything in readiness, ex
cept their engines and boilers. There
were two exceptions—the Oregon and the
Gloucester. —Arthur Warren in the Engin
eering Magazine for January.

sixty-seven less than,her builders furnish
ed on her trial trip. This meant work for
the ninty-four who had to steam her 10
Jupiter inlet. When the ship stopped they
w Diked all the harder, for there was coal
ing to be done and overhauling in .careful
haste. Wnet the coaling was especially
rapid, the officer and men -of iht engineer's
’’jrce v,ikeu twenty-four hours 01. cr.L
The ship stalled when the bunkers were
filled.
■ Not an ounce of salt water was allowed
in the Oregon’s boilers. Milligan, writing
from Callao to a. brother officer, said: “I
fear that I am rapidly becoming the most
unpopular man in the ship, because I am
determined we shall not put salt water in
the boilers, and to that end have insisted
to the captain that, if necessary, we must
cut down the' fresh water allowance for
officers and men to the bare amount neces
sary for drinking and cooking.”—Arthur
Warren, in The Engineering Magazine for
January.
RECORDER’S
BUSY DAY.
Manv Dismissals, but a Few
Fined--The Police Force.
The sessions of the recorder's court this
morning was one of the kind called “dis
missed courts'’ by the station sergeants,
who always enjoy seeing such days come,
as they only have to write dismissed by
the names of the offenders and are
through.
Henry Holt was the first prisoner called
up this morning. He was charged with
being disorderly but the judge decided
that he wasn’t and he was allowed to go.
Thomas Green was asked for $2.50 for be
ing drunk, but not having the money, he
wil have to remain in the station house for
five days unless someone pays his fine. Jim
King was tried on the charge of being dis
orderly, as there was no evidence against
him. L. Felder was also given his free
dom after a trial for disorderly. Edward
McKinney, who makes a practice of sleep
ing in his hack, and who for some time
•past has managed to escape the notice of
policemen, was fined $2.50 this morn
ing for going to slep in his hack last night.
William Pye was fined $2.50 fpr sleeping
in the depot and was fined $5 for disorder
ly conduct. Eliza Threatt, who was
charged with disorderly conduct, was re
leased. and Otis Taylor, the woman who
preferred, the charge, was fined $2.10 for
malicious prosecution. The other case*
were all dismissed.
•Things are working smoothly at. the po
?ice station now. All of the patrolmen
have been selected, the chief has returned
and. the new. watches have oecn made up.
At present all of the men are in good
health and none of them are suffering
from the malady which is prevalent all
over the country—the grip.
