Having- been one of the first patients to enter this model hospital, I wish here to ex- press my most hearty thanks first to the Giver of all good guts for having put it into the heart and mind of Mr. Boss to present to the town such a. valuable and elegantly-furnish- ed structure. It is needless to say his name shall forever live in the hearts and minds of the’people of Lindsay and surrounding county. Doubtless the majority of people in town have had the privelege of see“ ing for‘ themselves this magnificent building ; but in merely passing through and viewing its costly fur- niture, fixtures, etc. we see but one side of the picture. To my mind I must confess that I, like many others, always had a. very great dread of a hospital ; in fact the very name of one filled me with fear, 'but my mind has greatly clnnged. To-day I think a. hospital is the only, and proper place tc. care for the sick. The care I received while in the Ross Memorial Hospital was simply in- describle. Everything isâ€"using an old phraseâ€"in apple pie order, though they didn't give me any apple pie. The food was simple and wholesome You receive just such food as suits your case, and no more. It must be remembered that a hospital is not a, boarding house. I spent some time in the Toronto General Hbspital for treatment previous to entering the Ross Memorial Hospital and to my mind the latter is superior in every respect except in size; and no doubt in years to come it will prove a. blessing and help to suffering human- ity. Let every citizen do all in his power to keep up the good repute: tion of this very useful and indespenâ€" sable institution. Thanking you for your space, I remain yours truly, ARTHUR MOORE, Ehé'béét ‘side‘is the one which I am about to briefly describe. Through a. double explosion in the works of the _Hamilton Powder Company at Departure Bay on Wed- nesday of last week no fewâ€" er than twelve employcs were hurried into eternity, and the majority or the building utilized in the manufac- ture of high-power explosives reduc- ed to matchwood. The concussion was so severe that a few windows in Nanaimo, more than three milw dis- tant, were simultaneously shattered. while numerous chimneys and unsub- stantial structures in the coal city came tumbling to the ground. The body of one of the ten Chinese was found practically intact : the clown others were literally reduced to shreds of flesh and bone, an arm being the largest portion recovered of any. Steel rails from the railroad \tracks were whisked up and twisted Ll “pub u g; v u .---~_- _ round the half demolished trees, like fantastic corkscrews, Where buildings tottercd and fell fully fifteen miles aWay . Close to the guncotton room George Preston was engaged in the mixing-house, it being necessary in his duty that a. mixture of explosives be'stirred until a certain period, a moment’s cessation of the stirring meaning- disaster.

Miraculously hi2: mixture did not explode, nor was he injured by the flying debris. Charles Stevens and Mvat. Maylnnd, working in the new glycerinc build- ing, also had miraculous weapeS. The white men killed were George Simonette and James Fulfond, the latter of whom came from Brockville where his wife and children live. Good sleighing and mild weather brought out only a. fair amount of market stufi on Saturday. There was plenty of beef but the other oflerings were not large. _.... . .7__' _A "I. UV -|- Mr. Jas.
