JUNEAU, Alaska, July 2, To those who have known the blessings of a hospital In the hours of suffering, the hospitals of a new and comparatively unknown country are of special Interest and plead for the writing of this; article. The hospital at Juneau was -established In 12S6 by Captain Meln, of Oakland. Cal,. a man well known for his philanthropic work in Alaska and Africa, and then placed In the hands of the St Anne Bis ters, of Montreal, Canada. Originally there were only four sisters, but now eight of these gentle-faced .wom en are devoting their lives to the -noble calling. The patients are principally miners who ar6 taken in regardless of creed or de nomination. The hospital is partly sup ported by miners of the enrroundlng mines, each paying $1 a month Into a general hospital fund, and when 111 or Unfortunate, this -small amount pays for care ahd med ical attendance. The Sisters do a great amount of charity work, never refusing tho cry of the needy. At present there are 35 patients In the hospital, most of them alck with the typhoid fervor, caused, ' the physicians claim, by "Improperly pre pared food. -The emergency -cases are great in number, as they naturally would be in a mining districx. The Treadwell mine has a hospital of its own, which Is .also -in charge of tho Sisters. The Sisters complain that they cannot give proper attention to patients, as they have more than they can possibly care rfor. It makes the work very difficult, as all conscientious nurses like to give to patients all time required, and there Is no one more faithful than a Sister in caring for the sick. The principal characteristics of a nurss -should be gentleness, flnhness, ahd, abo-ra all. cheerfulness, as every one knows, "who has had any experience -in -nursing, that a man who Is 111 always becomes very despondent especially so In a far-off country, like Alaska, away from home and All frlpnds. "They coiho to us very despondent and, discouraged," said a sweet-faced Sister, "and wo need to doc tor the mind as well as tho body.' It Is a pleasant thought that the last mo ments of many a home-sick man are made brighter by the gentle touch of some comforting band. We must grow Very much Interested In the St Anne Order w.hen we realize that tho Sisters of this order established the first mission amongst the savage Indians, in the most northern part of Alaska in 1SS7 "The Holy Cross," at Kosoresskey, on the Yukon. The vork is with the Me dians, who were In an entirely savage state when they first took charge at them. The Sisters not only teach but clothe and care for the sick at the ex pense of tho Jesuit Fathers. In 1E9S, the hospital at Dawnon was es tablished by the Jesuit Fathers. It took the good Fathers six weeks to reach Daw son from the little mission, and they were obliged to be their own workmen in building the hospital. During the next two years six Sisters Joined the Fathers, suffering with thorn the trials of mission life. The hospital work at Sitka is carried on by a residing physician and two tralnod nurses, who do uncomplainingly work calling for five times as many at tendants. This institution was estab lished for the Children's Mission of that city, but it is seldom wholly in demand hy the mission, and so the HI and maimed from tho outside world are cared for at a very reasonable rate; if penniless, iht name care is bestowed as for those more fortunate in the gift of life. There are wards in the building a male and a fe male ward, and private rooms for th6se demanding such. The operating-room Is much finer than one would expect In this new country, and all antiseptic precau tions are exercised as in the best hos pitals of the land. The building is closed four months each year, in order to fu- ; mlgate thoroughly. A maternity hospital was founded a ehort time ago, but was closed from lack of support Such an institution is greatly needed In Sitka, and those carrying on this great work for humanity should have tho help and sjinpathy of the generous hearts- of our country. The Government Marine Hospital at this place is carrying on a work worthy of the highest praise, in caring for dis abled sailors ahd soldiers. At Skag-tay, one of the, most Important cities in Alaska, the open door as It were, Into Dawson and the great Yukon coun try, has a very excellent hospital, found ed by Bishop Rowe, of Alaska, a man well known in the Episcopal world by his creditable work la the Alaskan mis sions. This institution is carried on by a ma tron and two trained nurses sent out by the Episcopal" Board of Missions and as In all auch work the great need is money. Knowing the trials and sufferings of the untried men going Into this strange land in search of wealth, and of Its disappoint ments and discouragements weighing heavy on the mind as well as the body, we are sure many lives are saved to re turn to home and loved ones by means of this hospital work. It was our pleasure to meet on the re turn trip from Alaska a trained nurse who had spent some time there. And as "out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh,' so out of the. fullness of her heart this woman told- us of the crying need of hospitals and nurses in this far away part of the United HJtates or America, a need as great or greater than the demands of Cuba or the Philip pines.

As Armstrong had hunted up I the trouble at the school, Holloway had him arrested, and at a-jury trial before Justice Sutton, he -was fined $5 -and costs, amounting to over $50. AGAIN WITHOUT AN OFFICER PORTLAND, July 7. The Oregon Hu mane Society, which for more than 27 years has extended its protecting care over dumb animals and abused children, is once 'more left without an officer to at tend to the many complaints made daily at our office. Therefore, we come before the public whom we have faithfully served during a period of more than a quarter of a cen tury, never receiving one dollar for ser vices performed, and make known our complaint. To deny the need of humane societies is to tolerate the cruelties which have existed in all forms slnco the itorld be gan. And until these well-organized institutions appeared before the people there was but little notice or care ex tended to the brute creatures. Cruelty will exist Until through humane educa tion ahd the vigorous administration of laws the cruel propensities of the gen erations to come be greatly transformed. Cruelty to children and animals cannot be exorcised or diminished, neither will of fenders be remonstrated with or punished Bive through humane societies. Tho reg ular patrolman seldom Interferes in be half of overloaded and overworked horses; he fcever lifts the collar to see if the animal is suffering with galled f shoulders; ho does not notice the pro truding ribs and bones plainly visible, and i Inquire the cause; he does not say to the stranger, "Blanket your -horse while -standing in tho cold and storm": In fact, he does not seem to comprehend that I these things are a part of his duties. Tet he breaks the monotony of his dally or nightly round hy dragging some un fortunate Inebriate or fallen woman to the City Prison, which in Itself is a dis grace to our city. Lef us inquire what the Human Soci ety has done during the past 25 years, and Is still doing, and then let the citi zens of Portland decide whether we shall have a permanent officer whose head shall n6t be In danger flt every meeting of the official board, or whether the Ore gon Humane Society shall disband. Statistics in our possession from various parts of the world show beyond a doubt thit since the organization of societies for the prevention of cruelty were es tablished, crime has greatly diminished, especially among juveniles, who have come -urider the influence of humane edu cation In the public schools, which was first Introduced by humane societies: and today more than 2000,000 school children are enrolled In Bands of Mercy. Thmk you thit this system of teaching the great law of kindness to these millions of children will not diminish suffering and crlmo? Great reforms move slowly forward, especially those which deal with the cruel side of human nature. Therefore we must not pause in the -work. Aside from the educational influence, our society has rescued many children from cruel parents- or guardians, and t has lived to ee them become useful clti- xens. It has Investigated more than 4000 cases, alleviating suffering" to dumb brutes and 'teaching their keepers a more humane method of treatment. It has dur 0p - - - STREET J ififfV- r STREET c ing the past year caused the enactment of a model curfew law, which. If prompt ly enforced, will save many children from corruption and crime. It has caused to be adopted a perfect and humane method of excavating for new buildings In our city, which has attracted the attention and favorable comment of all persons witnessing its operation, completely abol ishing the cruelty to horses heretofore witnessed. And this Is not all. Portland is soon to witness the unveiling of a magnificent fountain, a gift to our city, presented by Hon. David P. Thompson. In honor of the Oregon Humane Society, of which ha Is one of the founders and president. This one munificent gift alone outvalues In actual cost more than the salary of a humane officer for CO years. The history of the Humane Society's Work Is plainly and permanently before the people, and has extended Its Influ ence throughout our state and TVashlng ton. Yet too little serious attention has been paid to Its efforts and to the finan cial support it deserves. It does not ask for a large fund to maintain the work; yet. while the mem bers are giving much valuable time and Influence for the benefit of suffering creatures and the public good, our re quest for an officer to be paid from the city's funds seems deserving and just. If not just, we would call the attention Of the Mayor and Police Commissioners to the fact that the special officer ap pointed to serve the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society has always beett paid his salary out of the police fund. The above-named society Is a state Institution, and during the Kst session of the Legislature ob tained an appropriation of $5000. The Oregon Humane Society Is a local organ ization, and Is performing a work which, if well sustained, will lessen crime and j pauperism, and soon deplete the number J of inmates in aid institutions and pris j ons, and give to the world a far more I humane clnss of men and women to rule in the future.
