For a number of years an annual spring ex- hibition of the works of Washington artists has been held at the (osmos Assembly Hall, but the exhibition held in the Woodward & Lothrop gallery in March absorbed the greater part of the winter product of the local studios, and it was found necessary on this occasion to 0 somewbat out of the beaten track. The prevent exhibition will include water color and pastel intings, a limited number of black and white drawings, sculpture and porcelain painting. It is understo that the works ac- cepted must be origiual and that a fairly high de of merit wili be demanded by the com- mittee. The exhibition will open Wednesday, May 6, and close Wednesday, May 13. ‘The Daily Death Rate. During the past few days the ceath rate has been very small and some days it has been con- siderably below the average, which is about fif- teen, but during the twenty-four hours ending at noon today nineteen deaths were reported. This does not represent the actual number of deaths occurring in twenty-four hour, but the number of burial permits isxued. It is more probable that the actual number of deaths was smaller than the number of permits issued. Of the number of deaths reported two were from the grip, ane from congestion of the longs, one from pneumonia and one from diph- ee The Excelsior Ciub Raided. Saturday night the police of the first precinct raided the rooms of the Excelsior Club, on 11th street, but some one had evidently given the members of the club a “tip,” for when the officers reached the rooms there was nota single person there.

DOCTORS DELIBERATE. The American Medical Association Convened This Morning, THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. Scenes at Albaugh’s Opera House Today— Commissioner Ross’ Welcome to the Asso- clation—Incidents of an Intercating Meet- ing—Keports and Resolutions. A parlor set of white enameled furniture and anumber of tables filled up the stage at Al- baugh’s Opera House this morning. The scene set was on interior walls, It wasa great hall of some old mansion. The walls were decorated in dark green. It was not for the opera the stage wan thus arranged, but for the opening of the forty-second annual meeting of the American Medical Aesociation. Some time be- fore 10 o'clock, the hour appointed for the ovening, the lobby of the theater was filled with doctors. Members of the local committee were everywhere distributing badges and informa- tion. ‘There were also enterprising gentlemen present circulating pamphlets and cards calling attention to exhibits displayed by drug houses or | Ni be and surgical supply dealers in the armory of the Washington Light Infantry. under the aud- itorium of the theater. Members of the local committee posted up in different parts of the house cards Inscribed with the names of states, to indicate where members of different delega- tions should be seated. ‘The sents in the the- ater gradually filled up. ‘The doctors occupied the seats in the orchestra and orchestra circle. LADIES IN THE BOXES AND BALCOXY. Quite a number of ladies occupied the first balcony and some of the boxes were filled with fair ones. The interest shown by the ladies in all the preliminary proceedings offered evi- dence of a fact generally suspected, that doctors are great favorites with the ladies.’ There were all kinds of doctors there—that is, all kinds of regularly ordained allopathic doctors of medi- cine, and there were somo doctors of divinity. There was the busy. weary-looking middle- aged city doctor, the depper. smooth, pros perous young specialist, the sun-burned, good- natured country doctor, who gives a little at- tention to farming as well as to medicino and is @ great authority on horses, and the easy, comfortable-looking general practitioner, whose rotund figure and slow movements suggested much time spent in a doctors carriage hung on the easiest of springs. ‘There were learned- looking college professors and worried-looking editors of medical journals. There were re- porters seated down among the music stands nexth the footlights, ‘where the or- chestra generally holds forth, and reporters seated “around tables on the tage. The doctors who arrived early sat patiently for an hour or more waiting for proceedings to begin. They talked and gonsiped, telling | stories or discussing cases.

He was president of the American Surgical Association in 1835. In 1886 he was president of the Ten- | nessee State Medicai Society. In 1887 he was president of the section of general surgery in the international medical congress at Washing- With regard to his success in surgery Dr. W. K. Bowling said: “Dr. Briggs ranks high among the first surgeons of the country. He has had extraordinary success and has per- formed operations which noother man ever did perform successfully. Endowed by nature with inflexible determination of purpose and un- i energy he has from the beginning shown such celerity and dexterity in his opera- tions, or what I might denominate deftn manipulation, that he is simply unparallel “The association will pleage come to order, said Dr. D.

Dr. Patterson, then advancing, made a brief address welcoming the delegates on the part of the physicians of Washington. He called at- inguishing members the local. committee and said these com- mitteemen were ready to give any information “They are expected,” sata Dr, Pat- terson, “to know everything you ought to know about Washington, perhaps some things that you ought not to know; they will be discreet in fach mations] have no dou en made rad inments arranged for the week. DR. BRIOGS’ ANNUAL ADDRESS, Dr. Patterson then introduced the president of the association, Dr. Wm. T. Briggs of Nash- ville, who proceaded at once to deliver his an- nual address, He referred to the pride he felt in presiding over a body representing a noble profession—the link between philanthropy and science. They recognized here no section: they were here for the purpose of promoting science and for the good of the human race. They were here to lay the accumulations of their e perience upon the common altar for the co1 good. As physicians they had almost a superhuman mission to fill. It was their pro- vince as well as desire to know all the secrets of organization, would, if possibie, search into the very mystories of vital principles. By faithful work the conscientious physician would appronch nearer and nearer to perfect knowl- e. He would be uble to solve more and announcements of the more of the difficult problems presented and | his profession would hav nearly akin to that occupi sciences, SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTIOAL PROGRESS. He referred to the scientific and practical progress of the day. ‘The science of medicin he said, had been almost completely revolu- tionized in our day. In every part of the habitable world blessed with civilization mem bers of the medical profewsion were enthusias- tically engaged in the work of :aitigati: ease and proionging life.

Could they, however, say that their action was not inspired by some selfish motive? ELEVATION OF THE STANDARD OF EDUCATION. He referred to the gradual elevation of the standard of education through the influence of the essociation. He was ready to maintain that the advantages and facilities for medical and surgical instruction in our institutions was fully equal to those in any other country. These institutions had graduated men who were the peers of any the world had produced In all the practical branches of medicine, he held, America was in advance. He believed a majority of the American medical colleges were ready to accede to the demand of the as- sociation for higher education. The success of the association in these and other directions id been very great. ‘The association now, he said, occupied an advanced position in ‘the great deliberative bodies of the world. It was fall time, he said, that it should take the sition of legislating for the whole a} America. Speaking of those wh alie ated themselves from the associativ: that they should put asi & position more by the exact Bt uu It was proper, he thought, to resolution, now that so many medical colleges had adopted the advanced course recom- mended, that no medical man nota graduate from a college that had adopted the approved course and no professor attached to a college ‘that bad not pel se such a course beadmitted ‘a8 @ member or delegate of the association. SOME CHANGES SUGGESTED. Dr. Briggs suggested various changes in the routine program of the association and urged that the prize essays contemplated in the forma- tion of the association would tend to excite interest and encourage study. He believed that medical science would be establishment of schools of original . He thought it might be well to add to the as- sociation a section of original research to en- courage members to make or repeat original research. He urged that every effort be made to advance the journal of the association to the highest point. “Next to providing for an ample income he said it was important to select an able editor with ample powers. The salary of such an editor, he said, should be $10,000 or 215,000, enough to make him pecuniarily inde- —— In closing Dr. Briggs expressed the ope that the deliberations of this meetin, would carry the profession still farther ‘onward in the great road of progress. Dr. Cuivertson of Ohio moved that a vote of be tendered the president for his ad- dress and that a committee of three be ap- pointed to consider its suggestions and report on them at the Friday session. The motion was carried. . Secretary Atkinson read an invitation from Supt. Godding at St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane to members of the association to visit that institution.

Other associations intending to erect monuments to their great men were cited to show what the medical men should be doing in this coanec- jon. Dr. Rush was a physician wlio. “clothed in his professional garb, upheld the standard of freedom through the strife of the revolution and wasafterward one of the framers of that venerated instrument on which the fabric of our nationality is built, the Federal Coustitu- tion.” ‘The report made an earnest appeal for money for the cause and also tor co-lavor- ers, each to act as a committeeman in bis own town,to assist the committee in its uphill work. Dr. Gibon has sent 1,770 letters to individuals in Philadelphia aeking contributions to the fund. One hundred and sixty responded. The cost of the circular letter was $95. The sum received was #135; guin of about #45. Responses were received from only two of the | doctors “who rejoice in feminine Christian names, who we were positive would outdo their | brother medicos in liberality, as they do in all the other virtues.” There is every reason to believe that Con- gress would be less liberal than it has been to other projects of the kind, the report continued, and if it donate a pedestal appropriate for such, &@ monument as the medical profession of 1 600 members ought to ereci, who will care to see a $2,000 statue surmounting « pedestal cost- ing $25,000, as that of the McPherson statue did, or $30,000 1ike that of the Garfield monn- ment? In’ conclusion, the report said: “The Washington monument was mired eleven years. ‘The Rush monument is making scarcely greater progress, but with your willing shoulders to the wheel it will in good time soon make triumph- ant progress. ie report of the committee was, on motion, adopted and the committee was continued. THE TREASURER’S REPOR’ Dr. Richard J. Dunglixon of Philadelphia, treasurer of the association, submitted his re- port, which is to be printed in full in the min- utes, showing that the balance now in the treas- ry amounts to $9,427.21. Dr. Bulkeley of New York, chairman of the section of derma tology, moved that as a result of the slight in- terest that is taken in that section it be discon- tinued for the present and the papers come before the section of surgery. As it was an amendment to the constitution it was laid over for a year, but there will probubly be no meetings of the section this year, for Dr. Bulkeley announced that he had but two and none ever attended the meetings save the officers of the section and those who are to| ( read papers. ‘A NEW CABINET OFFICER SUGGESTED. Dr. Comegys of Ohio offered a resolution asking that the president appoint @ committee to consider the question of petitioning the next Congress to create a new cabinet officer, to be known as the secretary of pablic health.
