1 BALTIMORE, June eighteenth annual convention of the Na tended a Praiseworthy Real Estate Enterprise. The growth of suburban Brooklyn dur ing the past decade has been such ns to attract the attention of investors and home-seekers In all parts of the dreaterj N'ew York. Under the magic influence of the wand of progress upon acres of land In every section of what but ten years ago were regarded as out-of-the-world suburbs, are now occupied by thiekly-populntod homesteads, from all of which access to Manhattan and to other sections of the greater city, by meanB of the trolley' and elevated railroads, is ensily obtninntile. No longer Is the suburbanite the object of well-informed commiseration, for he is not alone as much a resident of the city few York as is the resident of the Wnrd, but he finds life in his quarter much more satisfactory than he ever found life in the heart of either Brooklyn or Manhattan boroughs. There is, perhaps, however, no more thoroughly home-like section of suburban Brooklyn than that which stretches out, like a beautiful panorama, from the range of picturesque hills which is included within the boundaries of Forest Tark, and that the residents of the grenter city thorough ly appreciate this fact is attested by th" fact that one firm alone boasts that it has turned twenty-seven farms- into settle- lucnls, and this almost in the geographical center of the borough.

The, most recent proposition made by this firm is to build a suburban city within a city. In reality it means a duplication of what has been already done nt Oak Crest, the Lindens and King's Oaks, but perhaps on a larger scale. This new settlement Is called Rugby. It is ten blocks long and lies in the Twenty-ninth Wnrd. Its boundaries are Troy avenue, -East Broadway, East Fifty-third street, and its southern line touches tlie old Cnnarsie road, one block from the old Beverley road.

In the plot, which but a year or so was a waving field of corn, there are now nearly eleven hundred city lots, each one large enough for city home, and it was learned at the offices of Wood, Harmon the firm referred to. above, that nenrly eight hundred of the lots have already been sold to home-seekers, and with this number as a nucleus, Ihe little "city" will become'a fact almost before one realizes it. Some of the inducements that have brought to this section of suburban Brook lyn large part of its residents, most pf whom are owners of their nre characteristic in the shrewdness and in the nicety of their business balance. It is a delicate blending of the two with a sea soning of a practical regard for the pur chaser's interests that makes the proposi tion such an attractive one to home seekers of small means. The lots can be bought for down, and a trifle each week until paid for.

To this instalment plan there is added a clause of non-forfeiture in case of sick ness or loss of employment, and a free deed in case of death. Two years' taxes are paid on the plois, and, besides suitable restric tions, the company, through its improve ment association, declares that it will take permanent care of the improvements and keep the section in a pnrklike condition. All the streets are built and macadamized nt city grade, and to induce owners1 to be-some residents prizos are offered for homes built soon. That New York is growing in this bor ough at a marvelous rate is an accepted fact. It has boon shown by the demon strable proof of the real estate records.

The old saying of Brooklyn, that it is the bedroom of New York, has become dignified into the assertion that Brooklyn is the home borough of tln city the borough of homes. New people are being drawn to Brooklyn every month from other parts of the metropolitan district- people who are seeking homes and a meth od of some kind, of any kind, to get away from tho flat houses of the built up sec tions. Recently it was computed that of the several hundred new houses built in the Flathush section within one year nearly all of thein were for one, or, at the most, two, families. Each new district opened up as Rugby is being and as others have been means that Brooklyn is taking on a new charac ter from what it was a decade ago. Farms are disappearing, but in their going Brook lyn is working out her destiny, one of small "cities" of homes becomiug a large city of homes that shall extend from the East River to the ocean and make her boundaries famous the world over for the borough's beauty and Ihe character of her development.

Already havp more than two thousand acres of farm land gone toward this object, and real estate experts prophesy that within five years the last farm will have disappeared within the bor ough limits in the progress of Brooklyn toward its ultimate destiny. SCALPED BY INDIANS. A Man Who lives to Tell of It Many Years After the Occurrence. "There is an old fellow living near Gren ada, in my State," said a Memphis man at one of the hotels, "who was scalod hy (he Indians back in 18.HI. I saw him recently when I was down in his neighborhood look ing after the title of some farm property, and was greatly interested in his story.

He is now nbout 70, tough and gnarled as a tree, and the mark of his horrifying ad venture consists nf a curiously ridged and indented scar, about four inches across, on the lop of his head. He says he was one of a party of emigrants who had taken what was then known as the 'Fremont overland for California, and, while passing through southern Kansas he and two other young men left the main party to ride afler seime arftelope. They were Intercepted by some Indians, and his two companions killed. He himself was shot in the back and fell off his horse senseless. "The firing was heard by the other emi grant, and a rescue party drove tho av ages away.

But meanwhile thej hind scalped this young man, and when picked up he wan nt first supposed to he dead. He was carried back, and the next day turned over to some eastbonnd travelers, who took him to St. Louis. He told me it was over a year before the wound began to heal, but of course his memory may he nt fault ns to parli'iilnrs The wonderful part of it is, that he recovered at nil in those days, when skin grafting was practically unknown. Ho used to hide the cnr with a toupee, or patch wig, but at present he Is entirely bald and wears a light-fittiirg cap.

I dare say he is the only mnn in world who eve survived such an ordeal. His forehead, by the way, is curiously wrinkled In vertical lines, and his eyebrows are raised out of the natural position. That was what first attracted my attention to him. He says it was caused hy the healing of the wound." New Orleans Times-Democrat. The handsome, splendidly equipped Pavivlion for Surgical Operations attached to the Methodist Episcopal Hospital on Sixth street, between Seventh and and Eighth avenues, was formally opened yesterday afternoon.

Several hundred people were present, and before the iuterestingexerciscs which took place in. the operating room they' were t-hown through the pavilion and had its mysteries intelligently explained to them. Many professional men w.efe in attendances Among them, of course, were Dr. UwlS Stephen Pilthcr of the first surgical class of the hospital, who a week ago had the degree of D. conferred by Dickinson and will have a similar honor bestowed upon him next week by Michigan University, and George Kyerson Fowler, who is the second surgeon of the class.

In the general hospital itself there arc forty regular nurses ami five probationers with Miss Eva Hall as supervisor. The surgical stall consists of Dr. Walter Lad-lum, house surgeon; Dr. Charles i Buckley, house physician; Dr. Bland Williams, ambulance surgeon: and Dr.

Paul Huiiip- stone, junior interne, inesc pot-muii acc-taken by competitive examination, and graduates from all over the Vnited States compete for them every year. Among the successful competitors at the last examination was Dr. Paul Pilcher. M. who will become a member of the house staff next month.

At the opening exercises yesterday af- ternoou Dr. James M. Buckley presided. Prayer was offered hy the Uev. Dr.

Charles S. Wing, and1 then Dr. George Ityervin Krnvler, surgeon of the hospital, delivered an interesting lecture as follows: SURGEONS WERE HANDICAPPED, "The first patient received in the hospital was an operative ease. It was admitted upon the day following the formal opening of the hospital, and the operation was performed in one of the isolation rooms in the west pavilion. The formal initiation of the operative work of the institution was shared by the entire surgical staff of the hospital.

Shortly after this, what at the time was believed would be only a temporary place for operative work, was fitted up. This consisted in utilizing a portion of a hallway in 'he atiie of the west pavilion for the pnrpos. With this as a mnkeshift the surgical reputation of the hospital has been built up, until it stands to-day, after twelve years of incessant striving, upon a plane equal to that of the oldest and best institutions in the land. This was at a time when the preatest possible activity prevailed in operative work, and when this branch of surgery was mak ing its greatest advances. Special efforts were being made to perfect operative toch-nique by the progressive and aggressive both hemispheres, and there was not hospital in the country, save our own, even to the ten-bed cottace emergency hospital of the provincial towns hut had its especially fitted-up operating rom provided for and -furnished as a part of the equipment when the hospital was turned over to its operating staff.

And yet this, the first Methodist Episcopal hospital in the world, and whose surgical reputation is second to none. lias, for the want of funds, been practically without en operating room since its op ning. 'How we ever faced and overcame the 'difficulties incident to this state of affairs even those who assumed the task scarcely realize. A small square of colored tiling was laid in the center of the hallway-space partitioned off from the internes' sleeping rooms: the latter were thereupon impelled to pass thronch the improvised operating room whenever they desired to gain access to their own rooms. The operating room nurses were put to many inconveniences duo to the want of ade quate working space, and a little soven-by-nine at'ie mom.

with only a derner window fur light and ventilation was made to seive ilie pin pose of an instruim lit room, and a p'no" f.ir the preparation and storage of drcs-ing materials. A similar room was used for the recovery room, in which patients were placed until they bad so far recovered from the effects of til" anesthetic as 1o be taken to the wards without disturbing other patients in the latter. This recovery room was lonled next to the sleeping apartment of the ambulance surgeon, with the possible advantage of increasing the efficiency of th nmbulnnee service hy keeping the ambulance surgeon awake nil night. As for an etherizing room there was none, the landing at the head of the stair-case being pressed into service for this pnrpnse. The mantelpiece of the was utilized fur articles whieli o'herwise would occupy tables, had the limited fhior space permitted of this; the irrigating apparatus was nailed to the breastwork of the chimney, and the fireplace iiself afforded refngp the iron hamper for soiled IowoIk and dressing materials.

When a splint was needed, an assistant would dive through a trap-door into the adjoining garret of the pavilion for it. And you will scarcely credit it. when I oil you that, so strong was the desire to make available in every possible way this apology for an operating room, that an effort wa made to provide accommodations for visiting physi. inns who 'wished to witness the operative work if the clinics by railing off a space neiir the door and placing here a double-tiered wooden bench, which, without le slightest attempt nt irony or sarcasm, mine lie seriously spoken of as the 'grand "The effect of this handicap wa the most determined effort to effect asepsis or surgical Jcleanliness. It was here that the operating surgeons were entrenched and fought off the insidious bacterial enemy who game like a thief in the night to threaten our patients' lives.

And as to bow well this partitioned-off hallway, with its staircase landing and attic room adjunct, has been made to serve the purpose you may all judge when I have presented for your consideration a few figures to-show the preponderance of the surgical work of the hospital. SURGICAL RECORD OF THE HOS-V. PITAL. "I hold In my hand a tabulated statement of the work of the hospital since its opening In 1888. and I will venture to say that there is no institution in the world, with equal facilities, that can show a better, or even so good, a record.

Before the close of the first year it became evident that this hospital would become essentially a surgical institution. In 1SSS. 31a patients were admitted to the hospital, this representing the then capacity of the institution. Of these 203, or 04.44 per cent, were surgical cases. With the increase of the capacity of the institution not only has there been a correspondingly larger number cared for, reaching finally, in 1S90( 1,711 cases, hut the proportionate number of surgical cases has increased, until, in one year it reached almost 83 Vr cent, of the entire number admitted.

I'p to 1 of the present year a total 'St 11.S52 hospital patients have been treated, exclusive of the dispensary service, and of these, have been surgical cases. "Turning now to the bearing which this has upon our operating room facilities, I find the total number of operations to have been 7,603. Think of it! Seven thousand six hundred and ninety-three times in only a little more than half as many days, including Sundays, holidays and vacation time has the attic hallway been put to use for operative purposes in the first Methodist Episcopal Hospital in the world, while sister institutions have fairly reveled in glazed tiling, in marble slabs, and in brass fittings. When I gaze upon what now awaits us, there comes over me almost a delirium of enthusiasm as I realize that faith in our Board of Managers was not withont foundation, and that our hopes for the future are about to be realized. RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED.

"A word as to the results accomplished. This brings up the question of mortality percentage, and I wish to say that nothing is more delnsive than the relation of the mortality percentage to the actual good accomplished in Hospital work, tlie higher the reputation of a hospital the greater the mortality percentage will be. as a rule, upon a general showing based upon its statistics. This arises, first, from the selection of such an institution hy the members of the profession to whic to send serious cases; and second, from the desire of its surgeons to give to even the most desperate cases the benefits of operative interference, when, without its aid these patients must surely perish. I can con ceive of nothing more cruel than the turn ing away of those who appeal to us as a la-t hope, because the chances of their re covery are not stillicit ntly good to risk our statistics for.

God forbid that our vanitv should ever smother our humanity! And yet. with all our dotnnmna'ion to give every case the benefit of even the re motest reasonable chance, one mortality percentage is surprisingly low, namely, on iy out 0 per cent. This is the more striking when this itx hides cases that were prneii, ally moribund when brought into the hospital by" the ambulance. Not less than 2 per ut of these die from iht-ir injuric- before they receive the benefits of operative interference, leaving a mortality scarcely larger than that whiej. in former times, obtained in the simplest operations in surgery.

Why, it is within the memory of those living when the surgical mortality of one of the largest and bes't equipped hospitals in Europe, under the c.tre of one of the greatest surgeons of his was SO per cent. "And so we arc off with the ild love and on with the new. Soon the ol I opei'aiiiig loom will he stripped of its. I had a'most said, threadbare its gi andst.ind will disappear, and nothing will be left remind us of our early struggles in the improvised fortress save the hronz1 tablet which I hope will he aced npin its ills, commemorating the fact that during the first twelve year- of the hospital's existence, seven thousand six hundred ml ninety-three surgical operations were performed within its narrow confines." (Loud applause.) After a short nddrc. by Dr.

John B. Roberts, surgeon of the Methodist Epis. copal Hospital in Philadelphia. Dr. Pilcher.

who has always hn keeulv inter csied in the pavilion, said: DR. PILCHER GIVES KOMF. HISTORY. "The completion of this pavilion for surgical operations as one of the building constituting the M. E.

Hospital in Brook lyn is in accordance with the plans enter tained from the hrst as to the erection of such a building, yet it is quite a different smi'-luro from that which was originally in the minds of those charged with 1 1 it supervision of the plans of the institution "It is now nineteen years since the in corporation of the hospital, the organiza tion of the Board of Managers and the appointment of a building committee. Thursday, July 2, 1881, the title of this block of ground was passed to the hospital corporation. On Tuesday. August 2. 18.M, the Hoard of Managers was fully or ganized and the hnilding committee ap pointed, consisting of Managers Searey, rent h.

Booth. Pilcher and 1 Pnrdy. In the first week of the follow ing December John Mumford, of Brooklyn, was selected as the architect and Has ormtiniied to serve the hospital in that capacity to the present time." Dr. Pilcher. speaking as a member of the original building committee, told of the enthusiastic outlook which the committee had before them when the operating theatre was planned.

Dr. Pilcher went on: "The provision of a suitable pavilion for surgical operations has come about finally in an unexpected but most gratifying and satisfactory manner. This octagonal building was originally designed to accommodate the chapel and the library of the institution and was constructed as an annex to the central or administration building. In lip passage of the years during which the needs of actual hospital administration have been tested by practical experience it became evident that the unfinished chiliad would never be suitable for affording religious ministration to the inmates of the institution, since these as soon as they were able to leave their lieds no longer were retained in the Institution, but sent 0 their homes. The offices of religion in a hospital such ns this must be administered at the bedside and in the wards.

The propriety, therefore, of diverting this building to other uses was unquestionable. The only matter of discussion was as to what particular use of the needs of the hospital it should be devoted. Meanwhile the extemporized operating room was becoming more and more untenable and impossible. "At this juncture the possibility of utilizing the unused and unfinished chapel building for the purposes of surgical operations received serious consideration." Dr. Pilcher pointed out how plans were drawn and how, finally, the Board of Managers authorized the Executive Committee to proceed with the work with the provision that the amount expended should not exceed J22.500.

The speaker described the building as octagonal in shape, with a diameter of 42 feet in each direction. It consists of two stories and a basement, connected together by staircases and an elevator. As has already been told in "The the three floors are divided as follows: First, emergency; second, examination, and the third, operating. In the operating room the magnificent collection of surgical instruments. Dr.

Pile her said, were the gift of Mr. Frank R. Peers, of this borough. The speaker concluded that it had been possible to complete the work within a year and filso wi'hin the sum authorized by the Board of Managers. He said the furnishings of ihe building had cost about Dr.

Tile her closed by saying: WELL-TRAINED NURSES. "The training which the surgeons of this hospital have had for thirteen years in securing results of the highest order, in an environment of imperfections and difficulties, will found to have fitted them the better to make satisfactory use of these more perfect equipments. By the men who are to come af'er us, whom we see already growing up around us. a yet higher degree of efficiency and usefulness will doubtless be attained." The prayer of dedication was delivered by the Rev. Bishop Edward G.

Andrews. ALDERMEN DELAYING WORK. East River Bridge Approaches Can not Be Progressed Now. The chief topic of discussion at the meet ing of the New East River Bridge Commission yesterday was the hold-up of the hond issue by the Board of Aldermen. The meetings of the Commission are executive, hut after the session Commissioner Boyle, who is vice-president of tho Commission, explained that considerable surprise was expressed at the action of Ihe Aldermen.

"We eannot award the contract for the approaches until theso honds are authorized." said Commissioner Boyle, "and we are at a loss to understand the action of the members of the Board of Aldermen, who are responsible for the failure of the bonds to go tbrongh at the last meeting." The Board Aldermen has adjourned until July 10, so that nothing can be done toward authorizing Ihe bonds before that date. At the present time the ordinance is in the hands of the Committee on Bridges to whom it was referred despite the fact that the Committee on Fi-nante reported favorably. When Coininis--ioner Itovk's attention was called to this be only replied: "A delay of weeks may mean a delay of months in the completion of the structure. This contract should be let at once." The loisiness transacted by the Commission wan principally nf a routine nature, including the receipt of Chief Engineer L. L.

Buc k's weekly repcert cm the progress of work. Mr. Hack said: "In the Manhatiin side the II sections of the main lowers and the attendant bracing have liecn erected, bringing the towers cm both sides of ihe river to the same elevation. Rivets have heen received for the column splices below the roadway in Brooklyn and are heing driven. "All the rivets have been received for the splices above the roadway.

The legs of both intermediate toners are complete and four of the transverse girders are in place. Riveting has heen finished on the south leg of the Manhattan tower, and two gangs are working on the north leg. In Brooklyn the riveting of the intermediate tower has just been started." Regarding the work being done in the shops Mr. Buck says: "All the and girders have been fitted up and the former are being placed on the lop. The diagonals for the cantilever spans are being finished up.

Four of the saddle castings have boon made to date. It will take about a month to ship these to Plninfield, machine them there and deliver thorn at the site. At the present rale of produc ing the castings, whic ill probably not be accelerated, the last casting will not be delivered until late in September. As the roller beds are to Ik machined in Plainfield, this may be a further source of delay. I have been urging the New Jersey Steel and' Iron Company to divide the contract for making thono eastings, providing they can find others to do part of tbcm, thus far without ONE TRUST A FAILURE.

National Wall Paper Company Had Too Many Competitors. PHILADELPHIA, June directors of the National Wall Paper Company, a combination of seventeen wall paper manufacturing coucerns, located in several Eastern cities, are hoping to secure the peaceable dissolution of the company1. The Trust has found it extremely difficult in recent years to maintain a uniform scare of prices. The competition in the past few years from outside concerns has been of such a character that it has become virtually impossible to resist it. As three-fourths of the debenture stock of the company, which amounts to about $7,400,000, is held the eleven direct ors, it is thought that the present time is a good one, if the holders of the remaining fourth can he persuaded to foe it in tha light, to quietly dissolve the company ami in this way restore, as far as may be possible, each of the corners of which it is composed, to its original independent status1.
