is being handled." It was pres*

concerned, the more than just the con

. trial as a result of focus which the "
public eye had placed upon this ex?
penmcht. =? ' . ~!
^Therefore it was intensely interesting
on this the first anniversary of
^ the complete control by a colored perr
sonnel, to observe the results of tfieir
ti fegime. It's a marvelous plant, thia
, havun which Uncle Sam has erected
where his darker nephews whose
J| health, limbs and minds were shatter"4
ed in his behalf, mtght find surcease
tenderly care lor tnem and skilled
mind to direct their return to normalcy,
free from indifference and prej3
udice. The story of why the hospital

& Everyone knows it by heart. But,

a can vispalize its size, its spope, qr its
