M.Part is the government's euper- intendent of the workAbout sis weeks ago the work of renovating and repair ing the building was commenced, and it has been steadily pushed towards com pletion. The' "L" on tho East side of the building and the piazzas on the North and South faces had tumbled down ; in fact, the entire structure was going to pieces. Tho ."L" and piazzas have been rebuilt and the workmen are now busily engaged on work in the inte rior of the Hospital. The walls, balco nies and wood work are to be painted and the establishment to be repaired in first- class style. Besides, it is to be supplied with alL modern improvements. There is to be hot and cold water pipes through, out the building ; force-pumps, 4 bath rooms, 4 water-closets, an elevated oven, range, sinks and cess-pools. The dilapi dated old furnace lias been taken out and each room will be furnished with grates. The water-tanks which supply the bath-rooms have 4,000 gallons ca pacity. The culinary department is to be sup, plied with all necessary appuer ten ances and the wash room will be furnished with stationary tubs, boilers etc. The arround around the buildinjr within the enclosure is to be leveled. When the repairs were commenced about a dozen "squatters," both white and blacky were fronted from the bnilding, which they had been occupying rent free for several months. Mr. Dart is doing his work thoroughly and when it is completed thtU-S. Marnie Hospital will be one of the noted no modernized buildings of the city. . r - - i r ' ir - - i i i The poet says."

Gordon & Beo., Agts; The ffeed of a Hospital Exemplified. Albert Faison, colored,-a poor con eumptive, who for several months past has been living in the cabin of a flat, but who was removed by some women to a house on 'Dickinson Hill'.' a few davs ae-o. died vesterdav morninff. His , : o w tf case was a particulary sad one. Unable to work he was allowed to stay on the flat nntil it was evident ho could not live iong, when the wner interested himself in finding some one who would care for him during the last few.days of hi3 life. Tuesday night while the unfor tunate creature was undoubtedly in tho throes of death, his voluntary nurse be came frightened and left the house. The poor fellow laid on his improvished couch for twenty-four hours with no one to ad minister to his wants and died alone in the deserted house. Had "there been a hospital in this city the last few hours of the dying man might have been easier. There i3 much suffering of. this kind in this city and something should be done to relieve it. A case in point is that o the pauper who daily falls in a fit in the most public streets of the city while he is askin alm3 with which to purchase his food. . , ' .... - i It has been well said," In Union there is strength." Emphatically is this true of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company of Maine.
