4 NEW YORK HOSPITALS. How Poor Paticnts Are Neglected annd Abuseds : Brutality of tho Nursos--~Woman’s Inhu- manity to Woman, Bpecal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, New York, April 23, 1876, . Bince my laat Jottor I havo boon visiting some of OUR CITY HOSPITALS, . and forming my own opinion on tholr morits and domorits. 1 bollovo that all publio errors can bo oxposed through tho modium of tho pross otter than in auy othor way; and that any au institution that profossos to bo fair and true, and hidos all sorts of misdesds, oan bo made to tottor, ot acelng it bistory given fu . truthfulness and Its hypoorsy navoiled in & promiuent nowapapor. ‘A'io Now York Herald has dono a good deod (during the cstablishment of our “goup-kitchens," and whileunoarthing the poverty aund destitution among tho poor), by she Liolding up to light of somo of our so-called shardtablo sociotios, whero' tho Managor, Board « ot Diractors, and Prosidont, were 1n reality only sne porson ; and whore, for 50 conta he, gave to » poor porson, tho Sacloty claimod $60 in salary sud oxponses. In tho hospitals that I visited, I found all the »xtornal sutroundings closn and neat, tho nursea sbliging and attoative, and tho physicians men » ubility and sclontific akilt, I thought the pa- ¥outs that had nomonans to pay thoir lodgingh mero troated kindly, aud had a really comfortable nome; and Iliad no fault to find, but experienc- od a gront doal of admiration for the geueral msanagomont of things, Thon X went to seo four differont women who had been in some of thoso hospitals within the past year ; and thoy told me that, in city hospitals, the aotual boing thoro, alck and helploss, without moans, was VERY DIFFERENT from the imagined life thoy had expected to find. 1 cannot vouch for tho truth of all that I ‘was told § but, in two soparate cases, I am suro that tho partios spoke truly, Laving no reason to falaify. ' Thoy all greed in tolling mo cortain thinga ; and, as ono did not know that Ilad been or was to 8eo the other, Ghnxnuuuid not all Liave mado a falso statoment. d this is what ono told mo. 2 4 I was sont to — Hospital, and I was thoro fivo months, aud tound out soon that tho nurses wero oruol aud haish, and that tho food was ofton half-cooked or cold, and tho tea wold; end, if_wo over remonstratad, tho nurses woul 88y, ‘Oh! you tell the doctor, and I'fl malke it bad for you’ Bometimes we did toll tho doc- tors, but they would always tell us to be quiet, and would never henr a word sgalnst the nutres,” Another woman told me that in the next bod tohor was a womnn who was brought in for drunkenness. The second nurso was gone that night, and the head nurse would nover lot nny oue call hor up, not even if o pationt were dying. In tho cvening, this poor drunkon woman kept talking and grosning, snd mute tering, and disturbed all the ward. The purso told the Doctor, and he said, “Givo her s morphina powdor,” nnd passed on, The nurse ‘gave Ler one, and, 83 sho atill mut~ terod, in & fow minutes she gave hor another. Bho then went and lay down, tolling thom ali not to daro to call’ herup. But the drunken womgn still tossed and moayed, and finally the nwse, uotung up in anger, said, “1'LL FIX YOU THIB TIME ;" and, from a bottlo, soumd soveral teaspoonfuls of morphine or laudanum, aud forced it down tho unconscious woman's throat. Then sho wont to bed, Tho poor drunken woman was now vory atill, and tossed no moro, At early daybreak her faco was purplo, hor eyes rolled up, and her breathing stentorous ; and, at 7 . m,, whon tho doo.or_made his rounds, ho could not waken nor.. * How much morphing did you give hor 7" ho selted of the nurso ; and, whon sho said; four or fivo apoonfuls, ho said, “You havo given her too much, and I guess ou've done for hor.” He ordered ice putto cr hona and mustard to her feot; but, in an~ other hour, the nkon woman had cessed to broathe, and word was notsont of hor death to bor husbond until nearly nightof that day. All the while, aftor the doctor found her in this comatoso utute, ho and his sssistants worked over har ; but the nurse seomod in no ways uolarmed, and % WAH NOT DISMIBSED, Yot who shall pay that she was not tho direct caugo of tho death of that poor woman by ovor- g“ih,'fig?h“ ? And is sho not answerablo for her en & Aunother one told me this: **I waa lying in my bed, oPpnuitnm & peor Irish.momun, who hod & littio family of children, and a hard-working husband, who camo daily to seo ber, aud brought her auob little delicacios 88 ho could afford, She wus & good, patient creature, dying with con- sumption,—young and 8o kiud, Ouo rainy day she Lnd failed very fast, sud we all saw it, and 8lio daid who was not _;‘vn""to live, and would like to sond word to*Fer husband. Bat the Mutron told her, ‘Nousenso! you are not near dying; you will' livo & month yot;' and would uot send word to the dootor for hor, as she {:lendafl. That night the poor woman wauderod in er sleap, and callodout for ‘ Water ! water] Iam dying! Ohlwill somoono_not give a drink of water to a dying women? I was lying {o my bod with a Dbroken anklo, and could not stir; sud, after she had moaned sevoral times, I called out nloud to wako the nurge, and eaid, * Mra. - is dying and wants o drink of wator.

And, hore, 18 everywhere, the poor appear to Lbave no redresa. DBEULATL — A PLEA FOR CRIMINALS, T the Editor of The Chicagn T'ribuna ; B : ' Put mo where I can’t do such things," This was the and wall from tho heart of young Pomoroy, in » moment whon he realized his helpless condition. No guestion is of more importance to the com- munity than the prevontion and oure of orimo; it outwoighs all others; and how blindly do we Zfollow the idess and nanges of tho past, bring- ing lidtlo of the iuventive gemwms and im. provement of tho dge to bear upon this all-im- portaut subject. Littlo of the epirit which ani- mated the Bavior to cast out tho dovils seems to exist; but we still stone the poor victim.

These questions should bo taken home aud pondered upou, . 1knowthat n wmile of inorodullty is always raised at tho plea of insanity, Dut, it thero iy ono fact in natare whioh stands out clearer than nnother, 16 is that ovory man who raises his Loud against o brother is a lunatio, That thoro ave persons physically erippled and deformed 18 no more obvious than that these poor creatures are montally dotormed and orippled § and the lunotio Pomeroy, in that Iuoid moment, pew clearly that, if we would bo spared wuch sights, ho must put whoto he sardd lmqu the doeds, He eaw within himsolf an uncontrollable demon, whioh at tuncs moved sud swayod himj nnd,_ln ouno' short sontonce, poiuted out to sooloty its dutr, And what is it duty,~to punish sud set froe,—to bave him repeat his orimo, and kill him?

Our wholo syatom of correction is im{mrlont.

And right iere comes tho question “What {s fusauity?" I answer, Aninharmo- nious action of the mental forces, as sicknoss is tho inhiarmonious action of tho physieal forcos of our watura. The latter may produce the formor, each bolug intimately relatod to the other; and, ne .pain. is° snid to be the ~ language of dlsenss, 80 crime is the language of insanity, What man among ug, having the' montnl capncity to ronlizo that bis highost happiness_could be at- tained only by making those around him happy, would ever trespass upon the rights of anatlior § It is tho Inok of this mental equilibrium that causes all tha crime : from the potty unkindnesa to the brutal murder. It must be borne in mind that the crimlual boa rights, ae well an moclety; and wo can novor fnsuro respect for the latter by trampling upon the former. ‘The law is very careful aud strict with indi- viduals 1n the matter of soif-iofenss, and de- mands many concesslons from him bafore it oz~ nnlimmu him from blame, upon that ples, for in- jurles inflictod upon another. As strict a rulo should govern socloty in denling with him whoso hand is agalust lier. Bho may use all tho forco - mecessary to restrain him from inficting ivjurles upon her, but, whon once in her fower, any act of & ra- taliatory naturo, or in tha ehapo of punishment, i8 & crimo of tho worst sort, bosides boing cow~ ordly, and but feqds {hoe stream whose flow wo try fo stay, Bhe maybind the arm raised to stiilio, but no plen of solf-defenso will justify Lier in {oflicting injuries after the fos has fallen’y and therein lies the iniquity of our prosent sys- tom. We atart out with tho delusion that all mankind are equally compatent to judge between right and wrong, and, failing to do g0, we deom it our solomn duty to apply the cat-o'-nine-tails. Aa well claim that ench can litt the weight which Winship or Curtis accomplishes, or can perform the mental feats of Theodors Parker or Daniol Webster ; and, faillng in cither, snfilot tho just stripes of an outraged society! Tha soonor we realize our miatake, tho sooner will wo begin to deal justly with our doformed brethren. It is neodless to speak in other than gonoral torms of the troatment due the criminal; for, until it bo generally admitted that justico do- muanda tho mode suggested, all dotails aro super-~ fluous; but, to sum up what I concoive to be our duty, lot mo eay that tho soctety may do aoy and everything to save ourselvos from prosent or future injury, the nocessity of tho cass being the only justification of tho monns, and tho meana cannot ba sganned too closely; that the criminal 18 entitied to all tho rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ;" and that in enforcing our rights, 28 above atated, as few of hia rights shall be en- croached upon ns the nature of the case admita; and when obliged to doprive him of one right, ho sliould be aidedand assisted in the enfny- mont, of his remsining rights and privileges, in compensation thereof, to tho end that he be made & botter man, You can uovor toach & mun honesty and kind- noss while ho uu:]fuurobmng Lim of the fruits of Lis Iabor, and all that makes life doar, 1 would hiave our watchword similar to that on tho otd political coin: *Millions for Defenso, Not One Cent for Tributo;" millicns for proteo~ tion, not ona cont for punishmont; and by pro- tection, I mean proteciion to both socioty and thzl!l criminal—tho ono bofog a8 fmportant as ¢he othor, Iucnndyauui Pomeroy's appeal, and gny, ut bim where he can’t do such things; an oep him there, t00, if noed be, during life; but forgot not that e is human ; that ho has asoul ; and, above alt things( that ‘as you treat your oriminals, 8o will bo tae roflox_action upon’ so- cioty.

In support of this theory, and of many others 1tko it, a book, supposed to be God's book, was lold 'as authority, and it passod muster protty woll, eo Jong s the Church mon- oaged to koep all copies thercof "to it soif; but when . other pooplo oufside of priests and ministers, bogan to read that book, they began to interprot its meaning in differont ‘“FB and herosy was fairly siarted in the road of intellectunl progression, [Appisuse.] The bloodiost wars of all bistory bad been waged in tho name or God and of tho Bible.

Without _ horesy ** there could have been no progress, . The orthodox Christian ‘was o thoological fossil, embedded in that rock- called Faith, and all his efforts wero directed toward keeping his religion intact or in provent- ing other peoplo from bettering thoirs.

The Old Testament, the book of .the ohurchos, proached, in tho uamo of Jo- Lovab, tho bloodiest wars that had over deso- Inted the world, It recordod, chapter by chap- ter, how oltles had been overrun and eacked, nelther man, woman, nor ohild. boing apared.

Tho history of the Ohuroh was a bistory of spoliation and of blood—nnnals of crime unsurpassed by the most brutal tribes of l‘zh desort—men who hardly knew a God or &g idol, Tho lecturor then proceeded to donl at length with the chargor against Prof, Bwing—ailuding articularly to that gentloman's sulogics of the Rov.

N. 8. Bouton, the President, ocoupied the chair, and opencd tho mooting by rending from Matthew xvii, and Luke xviil, Prayor was then offored by tho Rev. Mr, Gib- 8o, of the Becond Prosbytorian Church. The hymn entitled ‘* Josus of Nozareth" was sung, aud tbis was followed by a briof address by N, TOUTON. Ho said the annual report of tho Asacolation wae printing, and when roceived 1t would be dis- tributed amoug the oburchos. An attontive pe- rusel was uskiod, that it might be loarned what work had beon ' ccomplishod daring the paat «| yoar, ‘Tho Associution dosired the prayers and cordial suppor: of all Clristinns, and hoped thoy would show thoir appreciation of its labora by contributions, according to that which they had. Biblo rendings bad boen hold with familiea in out~of-tho-way places, and much good had been dono by this moans. A suitable bulldin been orocted for the use of the Association on tho old lot, and it was the intention to re- erect tho hall in order to Bcouro room foroll branches of tho work, The. exponscs woro 80,085.16, of which $3,000 went to puy saluries, Noxt yosr $10,000 would be nceded, ond thoy dopended upon tho Uborality of the people fo raise it. A M, RICHARD O.

In conclusion, he badethe Assoclation God spoed in its work, AR, I, T, COLE, Becond Vice-Prosidont, $hon spoke of ths dotalls of the work, giving intoresting accounts of_the Yokofellows' pilgrimage fn the stroots and by~ ways after gamblors and dissolute young men. Ho also rend a number of letters from tho paronts of young mon who had boon lod from the aths of vice, wherein thoy oxpressed their Eaarmslt thanka to the Association for resouing tholr sons from moral death, aud leading them to Chulst. > TIE REV. ARTIUS MITONELL then roade a briof address. Ho enid the Assoola- tions had boen organized for tho purpose of ronching the multitudos in the olties who wore not, or could not be, reached by the churches. Immonse sums of money wera epont in building churches, and to sustuin the Goupel; yet thore waa & mitsing link, and the Gospol did not reach thomagses. And it was to dovise ways and moans to got at thom that thie agsocintions rago. Tiioy hiad seachod tho youog mon, carried tho Gospol nto tho Jailn and saloons, and along the dooks and into the forsnkon by-ways, whore tho ordinary menns of grace did not go; had ex- ortod a0 invalunblo Influence in muggesting oraotieal waya of working to tho- churches, snd bad doveloped o grost deal of idle talont thore. Honce tho work paid, and ho did not belleve the oople of Ohicago would lot tho Association of ?h(ll city’ go down for the want of 810,000, A collection was thon takon up, but it was not stated how muoch was roalized, The Presidont romarked that tho old building was bullt without calling on the publie for funds, but » small sum would be ssked for to croct the new one. DISTIOR ONENEY was next introduced, and delivered a most elo- quoent address. It ssemed to him that onoe of grandeat thoughts in rogard to tho association, and ono which should commend it to the people of Chicago, was tho fact that it was a fountain of positive roligion, toaching religion that was pres- cont, and coriain truths that did not change from dnx to doy; & roligion that s man could * tie to.” Wo wanted such a roligion,—ona that would not be parted by every wind of doctrine, or changed with every varying olrcumatance of lifo. There was too much jelly.fish Christisnity nowadays,—a great deal of Christianity that did not like tho truth,—that talked about tho dly bonos of dootrine, forgetting that there wns @ living organization ever worth pnuusn&ng,——m organism with bones ingido its hody, ''he Asencintion also commend- ed itaol? bocuuse it showed how Ohristian work could best be done, The right men were put in the right place, end suecoeded in accomplishing whatever they undortook. The speaker con- cluded with a brilliant oulogy of the silent and obdcure workers, saying that the day would como whon they would stand whera Ohrlst did, and receivo the orown thoy had won, Tho hymn ** Rock of Ages" was then sung, and, t:‘(tur tho bencdiction, the nudionce dige peraed. R —— Reading the Scriptures, About six months sgo an old negro woman of this town wau scized With & grost longing to be ablo to read the Beripturos, and communicated to her frionds her fntention of attouding a night schaol for colored people, with a viow of attain- ing this ond, |As eho was 65 yonrs old, ond did not’ know = lotter of the alphobet, the idea was rogarded as an evidenco of apprmwhmg imbecility, and she was laughed to scorn by those who knew hor, But this did not deter her from her purpose.
