During the past year there were admitted to the Charlottetown Hospital 128 patients Of this number, 42 were treated without any charge whatever. Fifty-nine were discharged well, thirty-three relieved, twelve imcurable, and ninc died. There are etill in the hospital fifteen patients The aurgical operations numbered thirty-five. Ninety-four persone received free out door relief at the dispensary The total amount received by collectiona during the | amounted to $652 Other contributions from _ charitable per- sons amounted to $102.67. The primary object of the hospital is charity to the sick poor, and secondarily the providing vear §2. of epecial facilitics for treatment in time of sickness to those who can afferd to pay. But the very limited income of «the institution is an insuperable barrier to the extension of free accommodation to all the sick poor of the Province, and beyond a certain never-failing number, free adniission can be given only to persons in extreme con- ditions. The revenue of the hospital re- quired to meet a very large expenditure, is derived in part from receipts from paying patients, from a proportionate share of the amount paid by the Dominion Govern- ment for the care of sick mariners, from the yearly collection in the city; bunt prin- cipally from the industrial work of the sisters themselves. No general collection in favor of the hospital has been taken up since 1888. The hospital receives no Gov- ernment gratuity or civic grant of any kind, apart from the remission of $75 a year on the amount of $135 collected for taxes. The Lady Superior is sincerely grateful to the many kind friends who have as- sisted her in her efforts to maintain the hospital. a ) THE GRACIE PARKER RELIEF FUND. rhe following sums were forwarded direct from Charlottetown for the above fund before a public movement for the relief of the sufferers was made in this city : SS SS See ee ae John Bali,...... ik . 5.00 James Beales,............ ; - -0.08 SU i 5.00 Rey.

We now ask for it the careful considera- tion and candid judgement of the Patriot and thie public. If the editor of Pat riot, orfanyone else,should suggest a better method of suppressing the liquor evil, we shall be well pleased. But we hope that this suggestion will not, in the meantime, be dismissed, after slight and cursory ex- | amination, with a carping and flippant | criticism. A like this if put into operation, completely the existing liquor traffic, sh does a0 much harm; it would yet law something would, break down whi afford means by which respectable men and women, the heads of families and others who may require liquor for medicin- al purposes, could obtain it quickly and easily ; ent with and it would be perfectly consist- the which the freedom of civi of the drink or do anything can tb | idea liberty under individual to | curtailed in 80 far only “as is necessary and expedient | for the general advantage of the public.” But it will necessarily take a consider- able time to formulate and pass « prohibit- ory law, whether for the Province or for Canada a large Indeed, prohibition is | i one of the movements about which it is | wise to hasten not too quickly to the end | that the law may be as perfect and effect- ive as possible.

We Must Move With the Times or be Shunted, The busy season is now over. The prod- uce of the farmer ia marketed, or snugly housed in barns or granaries to await the apring markets. The election has come and gone, and whether it pleases us or not, it is the ver- dict of the people, and we must aubmit. The holidays are here and enjoyment is the order of the day. The farmer now has leisure to enjoy the fruit of his labors. Winter is a time ef rest for the agricul- turist of to-day a time in which he should consider the operations of the last eropping season and lay his plans for future work, Theme are the days of progress Steam and electricity move the commercial world directed by the mind of man. Brain couats for more than muacle in all occupations of life. Manufactures haye been cheapened by the invention of new and improved appliances for manufactar- ing. Food products have cheapened on account of the opening up of vast areas of new and fertile soil. Facilities of trans- portation have placed the prairies of Am- erica, the plains of India and Africa, and the rich lands of Australia in close con- nection with the great consuming centres of Europe. Everything is changing and advancing. Agriculture is following slowly---too slowly. Farmers have been endowed with brains aa liberally as others; but they do not seem inclined to use them as they should im stadying their special business. How eloquently they talk whén they undertake to enlighten their fellows as to which of the political parties they should support; but how seldom their voice is heard onthe more important ques- tion: “How shall we improve in our prac- tice of agri¢ulture ?” This question is the burning question forus. We must move along with the times or be shunted off. Perhaps the best means of improve- ment, within our reach, is looking Lack over our past mistakes—that is if we can see any—and if we can’t, there is no hope for us—and avoid them in future. By closely scanning last year’s oper- ations we shal! be able to see many in- stances in which we have failed to realize the profits we should have realized. Now, if we can discover the cause of failure to be our own neglect or mismanagement, we will have taken quite a step in advance. Did we sow that fleld with seed that was not as good as it ought to be; or did we, in our haste, sow it before the land was in a fit condition, and the result is we have a smal! yield of poor wheat ? Did-we sow that large field with oats that had been grown on the farm till it had half run to smut, when we should have procured good seed, and thereby realized a profit from the crop instead of a loss? Again, were we away attending conven- tions, tea parties, or any other meetings, for our Own enjoyment or glory, while the diligent bug was eating the profit that we should have derived from our potato field ? Were our turnips properly planted and cultivated, so that they could not but be a paying crop ? Again, were our milch cows fed just enough for their own support, or were they fed a little over and above so that they could return us a profit in the milk pail? Were our fences good, or did our cattle or our neighbors’ cattle take « toll out of our grain fields? Was therea large part of that grain field that only gave us halfa crop though it cost us as much work as if it had given a full crop? If 80, will it not pay to get it into condition before another crop? These and many other questions that will occur to the intelligent far 2r ought to be carefully considered now while there is leisure to reflect on our practices in the past. We imust reduce the cost of our pro- ductions to the lowest limit possible to meet the great reduction in prices which obtain. We cannot control prices, but we can by studying our business and giving our best thought to our farming operations, se increase the yield per acre of our farms that they will give ue a good return for our labor. But let us now find out and correct all our mistakes of the past, and be more watchful and studious in the future, and we will certainly succeed in our calling. PRoeRESs. LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR, UU Se ACCIDENT INSURANCHE, Sir,—In your issue of yesterday I find about half a column of reading matter copied from the New York Sun, headed “Aecident Insurance for Women—Some Difficulties in the Way of their Realizing of Benefits.” Obviously, you must have thought the article both truthful and interesting, otherwise you would not have reprinted it. Allow me to inform you and your readers, that while it may be accurate with reference to American accident insurance, it would be misleading and injurious to the business in Canada if it went uncontradicted. The fact is the whole article is a tissue of wild and false assertion, if applied to Canada. A case is supposed of a wage earning woman break- ing her leg, and thus incapacitated for work; and then it is asserted that under her accident policy she would not receive “a bit of the stipulated sum scheduled as the payment for her particular injury.” In Canada, and here in Charlottetown, a woman of the class referred may purchase an accident insurance policy on equal terms with men from the Manufacturers’ Accident Insurance Company, or any of its numerous agencies, and the whole “atip- ulated sum scheduled” for the breakin of a leg, or any other injury, will be paid in full as freely and promptly as if it were a man’s leg, or injury. urthermore, the premium charged here is no greater than in the United States. If time permitted, and your space would allow it, I could point out in various ways the superiority of our Canadian insurance institutions, both life and accident, over American ones, Suffice it at present to say that life, as well as accident, insurance is tranaacted by Canadian companies on a more liberal basis, both as regards policies and rates, than by the American companies. If any one doubts my statement, let him meet me at the office of McLeod, Morson and Me- Quarrie, and I will submit the facts to de- monstrate it. In conclusion, I hope that Canadian ex- changes, at least, whe have copied from the New York Sun will embrace the first opportunity of contradicting it, and pre- senting our Canadian institutions in their true light.

According to the London: Builder, the far-on* marble church at ~Copenhagen, after liaving been in course of erection for nearly two centuries, is now nearing com- pletion. lhe detectives have been successful in hunting down the alleged murderers of the Williamses at Port Credit, Ont., and proof of the crime is now in order so that the atrocity may be avenged by the law in due course, The business depression is doing more to restrict immigration than all laws rible for Congress to enact, and foreigners are more anxious to get out of the country than to yet in. There is a considerable grain of comfort for Uncle Sam in this. pe aed The codfishery of Alaska promises to supply the country with “the poor man’s turkey,” at a cheap rate; for this fish is found on that coast in endless numbers, and the climate is good for curing them. The Alaska cod brings a better price than the product of the New England fisheries. The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald publishes a sensational story to the effect that the Emperor of Germany has lost the sympathies of his people, and that even the army is discontented. This is not unlikely, but it is not possible that the first news of this change in the feel- ings of the German people should coine from Paris. innilliblencia Cemmandant Booth, head of the Salva- ‘ion Army in Canada, says he has just adopted a financial scheme that will place the army in the Dominion on a sound basis.
