DANGER OF CONTAGION The Children’s Hospital’s Response to the Why It is Deemed Inadvisable to Es- tablish a Contagious Ward There— Protecting Children. ° The report of the committee appointed by the board of directors of the Children’s Hospital to ccnsider the appeal of the Com- missioners for the establishment, in con- nection with the hospital, of an isolated ward where contagious diseases may be treated, has been received by the con missioners. The committee, consisting of Dr. W. W Johnston, Dr. I. W. Lovejoy and Dr. J. Ford Thompson, appointed by the board of directors of the Children’s Hospital to con- sider the request of the District Commis- sloners, reported unfavorably upon the sug- gestion, on the ground that such a step would be a retrograde one, and would in- volve a complete abandonment of tke rule which reason and experience have shown to be necessary, and in the interests of the suffering children intrusted to the care of the hospital. The report mentions hos pitals in other cities that refuse to admit cases of con- tagious diseases, and says that at cne time in the history of hospitais no distinction was made between contagious and other diseases, but the resulting loss of life by the propagation of these destructive dis- eases has been so great that for the pro- tection of their inmates hospitals have been compelled to adopt the rule in ques- tion. Even with the strict observance of this cule contagion has found its way into hospital wards; and epidemics of scarlet fever, diphtheria and measles have fre- quently attacked the children,who were al- ready ill with other diseases. Precautions Constantly Multiplied. “Each year’s experience,” says the report, “forces us to redouble our precautionary ures against the invasion of contagious disease. An epidemic of this sort invariably and necessarily stops the admission of new patients; no surgical operation can be performed with safety while it lasts, and the whole of our charitable work is sus- pended for weeks. And what is a no less serious result, all the kindly care bestowed upon the poor children by the ladies con- nected with the institution comes to an erd; no mother or sister dares to visit the hospital during the prevalence of a con- tagious disease. “A few years ago a child -was brought to the hospital in imminent danger of death by suffocation from diphtheretic croup. It was admitted and operated on by tracheotomy and its life saved, bui, although it was placed at once in an iso- lated ward and every precaution taken, five children in another part of the house soon after developed diphtheria, and three of these died. A child which had been ill in its own home from scarlet fever was being treated in the dispensary for dropsy, which follows that disease. When six | weeks had elapsed from the end of the at- tack, and in consequence of its serious ill- ness, the child was admitted to the hos- pital, as it was thought there could no longer be any danger of contagion. Every precaution was taken; an antiseptic bath was given; it was dressed in fresh cloth- ing and placed in bed away from other children. In a week an epidemic of scar- let fever began in the hospital, which was the cause of the death of one child. Recent Experiences. “Within the past few months three chil- dren in the hospital developed scarlet fever within twenty-four hours of each other. They were removed to the isolated ward, which is on the top floor of the central building, {ar removed from the wards proper. A physician and nurses, who were directed not to enter the other wards and not to come in contact with the officers and employes of the house, were detailed to care for these children. Notwithstand- ing these precauticns, eight children were soon afterward attacked with the same disease. Fortunately, one only of these died—a child who was very much enfeebled with a chronic cancerous disease. “A hospital fo> sick children is ke a mass of combustible material ready for the blaze; as soon as a spark of contagion is applied the fire bursts out, and for a time rages uncontrolled. The very illness and weakness of our patients make them more susceptible, and as they have slight power of resistance many soon succumb. The children in our hospital range from a few months to twelve years of age, and they are, therefore, just at the ages when they have the greatest susceptibility to con- tract this disease and the greatest liability to die from it. It is the same with diph- therla, which has its greatest mortality between the ages of two and five years. It is then that the child is particularly lable to contract it from the slightest exposure; and then, also, it is much more likely to die from it. Over 50 per cent of all deaths occur under five years, and 75 per cent in children under ten years. Moreover, the aggregation of large numbers of children in a hospital or asylum increases the nat- ural susceptibility to a great degree; and it is in institutions of this kind that these diseases show a peculiar virulence. An epidemic has been known to sweep through an asylum, striking down one-half of its inmates in a few days. Protecting the Children. “The question is, Shall we deliberately introduce these dread diseases — scarlet fever and diphtheria—among these helpless children confined to our care? In organ- izing the Children’s Hospital we came be- fore the community with the premise to care for and treat all sick children who might be unable to secure skilled medical aid and nursing in their own homes. At the same time we guaranteed to them pro- tection against danger within our walls. Have we the right, then, to enter into any such arrangement as is proposed by the Commissioners; an arrangement which will subject these children to continued danger and to possible death?” The report contends that the only proper solution of the question is the purchase of property and the erection of a hospital for contagious diseases only. ———_—_ Mrs. Paran Stevens Dead. Mrs. Paran Stevens, the well-known so- ciety leader, died at her home in New York yesterday afternoon. Her death was caus- ed by pneumonia complicated by heart trouble. Mrs. Stevens was born in Lowell, Mass., sixty-one years ago, and was one of the large family of Judge Reed, an eminent Massachusetts jurist. When still in her teens Paran Stevens, then a wealthy New York hotel man, wedded her. Paran Ste- vens died about twenty years ago, leaving to his wife a large amount of real estate and considerable hotel property.

Mr. A. J. Balfour made an address yes- terday at the annual meeting of the Bi- metallic League at the Mansion House, London. Mr. Balfour’s speech was a strong double standard argument. Among other things, he said: “Englend’s present system does not suf- fice even for her internal commerce, and at a time when we depend upon foreign na- tions for our very bread, it is the height of folly to attempt isolation in regard to the currency. I believe that common sense of nations will not long tolerate the present condition of a‘fairs.” —_—__+e+______ General Foreign Toples.

The genuine Carlsbad Sprudel is a natural remedy which is always effective in all disorders of the stomach, liver and kidneys; for habitual constipation, gouty and rheumatic affections it is without equal. Be sure to obtain the genuine article, which has the seal of the city of Carlsbad and the signature, “EISNER & MENDELSON ©O., Sole Agents, New York,’ on every bottle. SHILOH REUNION. The Celebration Begins Tomorrow and Blue and Gray Join. The survivors of the battle of Shiloh will hold a reunion on the historic field, begin- ning tomorrow and continuing three days. The word reunion is used advisedly, for it will be a fraternal meeting of the survivors who wore the gray, as well as of those who wore the blue. The official object of the gathering is to mark the positions held by the different commands during the engage- ment. But in reality that work will cut a comparatively small figure in the program. The social and fraternal side of the affair will overshadow everything else. Not only will old friends on each side meet and re- new the memories of the war, but former fues will meet, no longer as foes, but as common citizens of a common country and acknowledging allegiance to a common flag. The reunion will be under the man- agement of the old armies of the Tennes- see, the Ohio and Mississippi, through whose efforts Congress passed a bill mak- ing the battlefield a national memorial park, like Chickamauga, Gettysburg and Antietam. For establishing the park the sum of $75,000 was appropriated, and $20,000 for its dedication, which will take place next September. On April 10, 1893, the sur- vivors of the battle celebrated the thirty- first anniversary of the engagement on the field, and while there they organized the Shiloh Battlefield Association, composed of the surviving veterans on both sides. Its object was to have the government pur- chase the field for a national park, and the coming reunion will mark the happy ac- complishment cf that object. On the bat- tlefield are buried 4,000 confederate soldiers and an unknown number of Union soldiers, who, not being recognized, were not re- moved to the National cemetery. In the National cemetery at Pittsburg Landing, two miles distant from Shiloh, are buried nearly 4,000 Union soldiers. An estimate of those who were killed on both sides or afterward died of their wounds puts the number at 30,000, LIBERTY BELL RUNG. Honoring the Author of “America” at Chicago. The Columbia liberty bell was rung at Chicago yesterday in honor of Rev. Sam- uel Francis Smith, author of “America.” Mayor Hopkins and Superintendent Lane of the public schools were in charge of the ceremcny. The ringing was done by a committee of school children, representing each state and territory. Im- mediately after the ringing all united in singing “America,” and a telegram was sent to Music Hall, Boston, where the main celebration was in progress. The Colum- bian liberty bell is the famous instrument made from the gifts of all nations at the time of the world’s fair to take up the work of the old Independence bell of ‘76. The Columbian bell will, in a few weeks, start on a tour around the world, being first rung at the Lincoln monument, in Springfield, Tl. The people of Boston yesterday engaged in presenting a fitting testimonial to the venerable author of the national hymn, “America.” It has taken the form of pub- lic exercises in Music Hall, which began yesterday afternocn and continued last evening. The reception yesterday was presided over by Gov. Greenhalge, and among the speakers were ex-Goy. John D. Long, Com- mander Thayer of the Grand Army, Rev. Dr. Lorimer and others. Dr. Smith made an address telling how he happened to write the national hymn, and then shook hands with scores of his well-withers, A feature of the afternoon’s exercises was the singing of “America” by a chorus of 200 children from the Boston public schools. Delegaticns of school children were pres- ent from various parts of the state, bear- ing banners appropriately inscribed. AWAITING AN OPPORTUNITY. Cubans’ Sympathies Said to Be With the Insurgents. The steamer Vigilancia arrived at New York yesterday from Havana. A passenger reported that at Manseanillo, where he had been stopping for some time, the sym- pathies of the whole city were with the insurgents, who were only waiting for a favorable opportunity to join hands with the revolutionist forces. There had been several skirmishes between the Spanish troops and insurgents, but no decisive en- counter took place. A rumor was circulated at Manseanillo that a large force of the insurgents were about to invest the town. This caused great excitement among the inhabitants, but the rumor could not be traced to any reliable source. —— -- -eee —___ Kinder Symphony for a Kindergarten An orchestra of children from fifteen down to seven years old made their debut last evening in the home of Mrs. Dr. Jos. Taber Johnson, 924 17th street, which she had kindly thrown open to them and thelr friends. The audience of nearly 100 heard with enjoyment, and heartily applauded their rendering of Haydn's Kinder Sym- phony, a Romberg symphony and Schu- bert’s Marche Militaire. The latter was given es a quintet. The entire work of the orchestra showed the result of frequent and careful rehearsal, and gave abundant testimony to the painstaking, spirited and musicianly driil given by the conductor, Miss Mary M. Cook, herself a talented pianist. The proceeds are to be devoted to a free kindergarten for colored children, which is maintained by the University Park Mission in its building near Freedman’s Hospital. Miss Merrifield, youthful elocutionist, gave four charm- ingly-rendered recitatio! and the ladies of the mission made a “symphony in color” cut of their attractive candy table. Vocal solos by Miss Lockhart and Miss Clark cempleted the program. Set for Trial.
