In another column our readers will find Mr. Itter‘s reply to our article with veference to the management of the Poor House in last week‘s issue of the CrroxntcrE. As the question of the management of the Poor House is now certain to come up for investigaâ€" tion we do not deem it. necessary to give any.lengthy reply to Mr. Itter‘s letter. If the Warden and the Comâ€" mittee do not resent Mr. Itter‘s highJ _The Hospital question is making fair progress. A Provisional Trust Board has been formed and a charter will shortly be applied for. \ A.committee is also engaged in looking up a suitable site and will report at the meeting of the Trust Board to be held at Berlin next Monday evening. The Trust Board is composed of many of our most prominent and enerâ€" getic businessmen who willnotonly push the scheme forward with all possible despatch but will be able and willing to set the pace in the way of liberal contributions when the subscription books are opened. Had Canada followed the example of some of the States, and, in addition to representaâ€" tion in the various departments, erected a Canadian building of sufficient size that unâ€" der one roof could have been gathered a display of the country‘s resources, that would have left a permanent impress upon the mind of every visitor. . So far as our manufacturâ€" ers are concerned, beyond the exhibits of a few makers of agricultnral implements they cut but little figure. The country has cerâ€" tainly done sufficient for them to expect that on a great occasion of this kind they would, by way of return,. do something for the country even if not for themselves. After references to the insignificance of the Canadian building he says Canâ€" ada is to be found "here, there and everywhere ; a little in almost every building ; nowhere in impressive force." He sums up his conclusions thus : World‘s Fair. Hesays :: X The part played by Canada at the fair i$ a disappointment. â€" To be sure, there is nd scarcity of officials. The official!list publishâ€" ed by the fair authorities contains the names of 24 officials as representing the Dominion and the various Provinces ; but this list does not include any of the honorary commissionâ€" ers, such as Messrs. Bowell, Angers, Carling, etc., nor yet the minor attaches. Great Britain, on the other hand, manages to get along with only eleven officials. Brantford Expositor: A statement is going the round of the press that implement dealers are quoting â€"binder twine at a 4 of a cent less perpound than the Patrons of Industry, and that consequently the Patron who desires to support the order to which he belongs will have to pay the } of a cent extra to doâ€" so. Mr. Stratford, president of the Farmer‘s Binder Twine Company, says : "No Patron or farmer will be so disloyal to his own interests and his family as to permit himself to be caught by such catch prices for twine ; prices which are being made meantime only by the combines, simpâ€" ly to injure the farmers‘ industry, and any farmer who does get caught will only heat an iron ‘to burn his own eyes out.‘" Mr. T. H. Preston, of the Brantford Expositor, is not favorably impressed with Canada‘s representation at. tle World‘s Fair. â€" Hesavs : \ The flattering tale that the exodus is at an end is constantly meeting with eontradiction in unexpected places. The Presbytery of Pictou, in Nova Scotia, for instance, reports that in eleven out of twenty organized congreâ€" gations in that district, there has been a falling off in the membership, which is attributed "largely to the fact of so many young people requiring to leave their homes in order to find employâ€" ment." MecGill Sir. Wm. Dawson, who has béen Principal of McGill University, Monâ€" treal, since 1855, has sent in his resigâ€" nation on account of ill health. _ As an author, a geologist, an accomplished professor and literary man, Sir. Wmn. bas attained a wide reputation, and his resiznation will be a great loss to Why is it that Mr. MceCarthy can always raise a derisive laugh by simply reading the plain report of the census as to the number of industrial estabâ€" lishments in the place where he hapâ€" pens to be speaking? Can it be that the census is optimistic ? HURSDAY, , JUNE 15th, 1893,| CA aterlos Ehronicle. HOSPITAL QUESTION Mr. Itter‘s Reply.

Warranted by Ed. M. Devitt. When theseladies visited the House it appears that the object of their visit was not to admmnister to the "physical and spiritual" wants of the inmates, but to get servants, and Mrs. Kumpfeven stated, before leaving, that if she were an inmate she would run gway.o c uks If those good ladies who take so much interest in the inmates of the Poor House would give their attention to outside affairs they would be better employed, and have a much larger field of operation. Those in the Poor House are well cared for, while multiâ€" tudes outside are greatly in need of material and spiritual help. ; In closing I may sagr that since the above charges have appeared it is the Committee‘s duty to hold an investigation at once, and if I have not done my duty to discharge me forthwith. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your valuable space, I remain Me also is greatly alarmed about the system of running the industrial farm. In reply I beg to say that everything that is sold is entered into a book, and all vouchers and bills are examined every three months by the Inspector or Chairman and commitâ€" tee. The Inspector can at any time examâ€" ine books and everything about the instituâ€" tion. I nave held the position of keeper for over thirteen years, and there has never been a single complaint, publicly or privately, by either Inspector, Chairman, Committee or Council, until these "charitably disposed‘ ladies have been trying to undermine me, und the present Warden took office. I am also charged with preventing a young woman from leaving after the Warden haa given his order for her release. My reason for so doing was, thatsome ‘"‘charitabiy disâ€" posed" ladies had spread a rumor in Galt about my character as keeper, and I detained this young woman until I had this matter in reference tomy character investigated. The Chronicle also objects to the Commitâ€" tee dining at the house when they meet. This custom has been in vogue ever since the house was built, and I don‘t consider it in my place to change it. This matter rests with the Committee. I think those ladies and the Editor of the Chronicle would only be to glad to dine withthem if they had the opportunity. R A lengthy editorial appears in the *‘Waterâ€" loo Chronicle" of 8th inst, demanding an investigation at the abovenamed institution. I may say that I now demand an investigaâ€" tion into theâ€"charges made at once. The writer in the Chronicle has ‘a great deal to say about the ‘"‘charitably disposed" ladies, who want fthe old and infirm inmates to receive more and better care and attention. Ihave repeatedly laid this matter before the committee, and told them that I was doing all I could for them with the money at my disposal, but if they desired that more money should be spent for that purpose, I was always willing and only too glad to do so. Regarding the inmates physical and spiriâ€" tual wants, I can say, that they receive every attention ; when ill the physician is called. The different ministers of the town visit them and hold services, and every Sunday afternoon a number of ladies read, sing and pray with them. 3 The Chronicle also wants a fire escape. We have two fire escapes now, and even if an outside escape were put up he would find but very few of the inmates that would be able to escape by it in case of a fire, and furâ€" thermore, it is not a part of my business to have fire escapes built. Public meetings and grand rallies do not change votes in this country. D‘Alton McCarthy can afford to cease doing _ missionary work among the crowds that cheer in the open air and aim at the Canadians who do their own reading, their own thinking and, lastâ€" ly, their own voting. THE COUNTY POOR HOUSE Yr. Itter, the Keeper, replics to the Article In the Chromicle, The following communication from Mr. Itter appeared in the Berlin Daily News of last Friday :â€" His policy and actions chiefiy com:â€" mend him to the judgment of men who think enough to be dissatisfied with both the old parties. This class may not be numerous in any oneâ€"riding. They do not need to be a multitude in order to be influential, for in this naâ€" tion of elose constituencies a man on these corners, and a few more on that side line, can make and break governâ€" ments. Telegram : Tt does not follow that D‘Alton MceCarthy is weak because his arguments fail to win all the hurrahs that are in the air at public meetings. M‘CARTHY AS A POLITICAL FACTOR, The management of the House of ‘Industry and Refuge must be above suspicion, and we trust that the whole matter will be investigated in <the most thorough manner by a committee composed of gentlemen of such standâ€" ing in the community that their finding will commund the entire confidence of the public. iha.nded conduct in keeping the woman at the Poor House after her release had been ordered by a unanimous resolution of the Committee and the Warden had given his ordar for the same, then we are very much mistaken as to the character of the gentlemen that comâ€" pose this committee. _ If a servant of a privateindividual should set at defiance his master‘s express command on such a flimsy pretext as that given by Mr Itter, that and that alone would be enough to call for his instant dismissal. Yours truly P. Irter. The provisional Board of Directors appointed a meeting to be held in the Council Chamber, Waterloo, and the meeting then adjourned. Moxpay Evenina‘s MeztiNc. The committee appointed met on Monday night in the Council Chamber, Waterloo. The following gentlemen were present: Mayors Lackner and Wells; Sheriff Springer, Warden Moore, Mayor Wells, Mayor Lackner, Warâ€" den Moore, and Messrs. I. E. Bowman M. P., Sheriff Springer, Geo. Lang, Geo. Rumpel, J. S. Anthes, J. Fennell, E. P. Clement, A. Mueller, C. F. Brown, W. H. Bowlby, P. Moyer, Dr. D. 8. Bowlby, H. J. Hall, L J. Breithaupt, W. Hendry, C. Bitzer, W. A. Greene, C. H. Kumpf, 6. Randall sr., W. Sniâ€" der, J. Conrad, J. Hespeler, J. Morley, H. J. Grassettand R. Y. Fish. Dr. Minchin told of the Stratford Hospital which was started about two years ago. Some $10,000 was subâ€" scribed, mostly in small sums. The cost of the construction was about $14,000, and maintenance about $4,â€" 000, half of which is secured by paying patients. _ The government _ grant amounts to about $1,000 ; $500 â€" from the city, and $300 from the County. Private subscriptions run up to about $800 a year,. The training school of nurses helps by having attendance with small cost. The people of Stratâ€" ford are well satisfied with the instiâ€" tution. The scheme was heartily endorsed by Warden Moore, I. E. Bowman M. P., Dr. Bowlby aud other gentlemen present. _ A resolution was passed that it would be desirable to establish a Hospital between the towns of Berlin and Waterloo. The following gentlemen were then appointed a Provisional Board of Diâ€" rectors : Mayor Wells of Waterloo said the object was a worthy one. We are a great manufacturing centre and conseâ€" quently have as citizens, a great numâ€" ber of artizans and mechanies whose work is more or less dangerous and who in many cases are from homes in other towns, â€" When sick they could be better attended in a Hospital than it is possible in a boarding house. Again many of our citizens would preâ€" fer going to the Hospital rather than remaining in their homes in danger to others and perbaps to themselves. If a Hospital is erected no doubt many of our societies would undertake to furnish rooms and bear the expense connected therewith. Would suggest that it would be well to send a commitâ€" tee by and by to visit different Hospiâ€" tals and obtain <full information on this subject. Mayor Lackner of Berlin was next called upon. _ He said he had recently visited the Galt Hospital and admired its equipment and appearance. He thought that a building of a . similar size would be large enough for the two towns for some time. _ The Galt instiâ€" tution had cost some $14,000 if the value of the site be included. There, as in Guelph, the Hospital receives a town and county grant of $1,000 a year. The Hospital was built by the town issuing debentures to the amount of $8,000. _ Physicians give their serâ€" vices gratis, as no doubt the physicians of Waterloo and Berlin would also be willing to doso. The Hospital is under charge of a matron, having three nurses and nurses in training. ‘ Mr. Wimn. Hendry, who was called on stated that he had had the day beâ€" fore a talk with Mr. Melvin, of Guelph, one of the Trustees of the Guelph Hosâ€" pital, who gave him the following inâ€" formation. Eighteen years ago they set out to erect a Hospital and secured $7000 by private subscriptions, the County gave $1,500 and the Town the same, making $10,000. _ The building cost them $14,000 leaving a debt of $4,000. _ Then they had accommodaâ€" tion for 26 patients, but it has grown since to a capacity for 60. For the maintenance, Guelph gives annually $1,000, the County the same, the churâ€" ches by an annual collection about $600, other charities $400, making a total of $3,000. _ There is an income of some $2,000 a year from paying paâ€" tients, all of which, added to what the government supplements, keeps the Institution running. The doctors give their services free, one each week in turn. Paying patients select their own physicians. â€" There are twelve Di rectors. _ The city is represented on the Board by the Mayor and one alderâ€" man, the County by the Warden and another from _ that body. . There is a lady manager who gets $500 a year, and a dispenser who gets the same. He does not prescribe. Lately two legacies of $10,000 each were left to the institution. Provisional Trust Board Appointed and Charter to be Applied for. The first public meeting in the inâ€" terests of the Hospital was held at the High School last Friday evening. The attendance was not large but included the Warden of the County, Sheriff Springer, I. E. Bowman M. P. The Mayors of the two towns, the majority of the medical men and quite a numâ€" ber of prominent citizens of the two towns. . Sheriff Springer was elected chairman and E. P. Clement, secretary. The sheriff briefly explained the objects of the meeting and then cailed upon those present to give what information they could on the subject. HOSPITAL _ QUESTION. Waterloo County Chronicls.
