BL Cha THE SOCIAL WORLD Attorney General and Family Are on the Jersey Coast. THE TORKISH MINISTER PLAYS HOST Fashion and Society Along the Atlantic. et SOME WASHINGTON PLANS Attorney General Harmon's family is at. present at “The Bluffs,” Bay Head, N. J. and will go from there to White Sulphur later along in the month. ‘The all-import- ant subject of a house here is as yet unde- cided, though Mrs. Harmen gave consider- able attention to looking over the avail- able residences of the West End during her late visit. She is almost a total stranger to the official families, and has no acquaintances at all even in the cabinet circle, excepting Mrs. Lamont, for whom she entertains the bifhest regard. The Harmons have lived elegantly without mak- ing any pretensions to Gash, and it is said that the salary of the Attorney General is atout one-third of what he earned by the practice of his profession. Miss Harnion will be a delightful aid to her mother in her social duties. A younger daughter fs still a school girl, and the eldest Is mar- ried and resides in Philadelphia. Mrs. Mar- mon is a fine-looking woman, who dresses well; is a good conversationalist, and has a very cordial manner in addres: even an entire stranger. The family will certain- ly be a decided acquisition to the cabinet circle. ‘The hotels at Newport and yicinity are acing a big business. At Narragansett Pier, where the gayety is of a much more pronounced order, accommodations cannot be had in the best hotels at any. and Jodg.ngs in less notable neighborhoods have to answer the fashionable demand. But the fun they are iaving is worth it. With the Astors, mother and son, entertaining; Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt, the mistress of the marble palace, and Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, both making their daughters’ first American seasons memorable by all kinds of hospitable diversions; the Brices and all the rest of the lesser lights putting in a date now and thea, with a steady run of Casino and County Club dances, zhe high water mark will soon be reached. But both at Bar Harbor as well as Newport the changes are played every day on the same string of names, many of which, 50 far as the Washingtonians are concerned, seem to be taking more interest in the amusements than they do at home. It will not be long before there will be just as much formality at Bar Harbor as with her o'der rival on the Atlantic. Life at New- port is precisely what it Is in the same set in New York, varied only by a few cips in the ocean from the guarded precincts of a private beach. The Turkish minister, Mavroyenl Bey, or “Mavvy” for shert, is on his annual starring tcur. No foreign attraction can compete with this intergsting gentleman and diplomat from June 15 to October 1, and very few try. It has been ill-naturedly urged that he never entertains here as he does during the summer’ months at Bar Harbor, to which plage hg is devotedly at- tached, and where he reigns pre-eminent as a delightful kost when the gayeties are at their height. This summer he misses the compenionship of hig griend, Frederick Divdati Thempson, who is.hobnobbing with Nicholas I, Prince pf Montenegro, prob- ably with an idea of writing another book of trdvel about that‘country. The edition de luxe of his first work, which he sent to the Grank Turk, bréught' back from that potentate a grand order ‘of something or ” | other, way high up im royal bestowal. 1 Square Pixno, good order 1 Square Piano, tine tone. 1 Square Piano, elesant co 1 Square Piano, rich in metody.

HE HOUGHTON CO., 1214 F street u.w. aul0-20d Mavroyeni has things all his own way, therefcre, at Bar Harbor; and appears to be making proper use of every advantage. His dinners and dances are attended by the wealthiest of the residents, and mainly, of course, by the Washington and New York element. His picnics ate charming and rumerous, and altogether he is leaving no stone unturned to reciprocate the courtesies shown him. One of his latest banquets was in hcror of Mr. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who are cruising on their yacht, and were makirg a short stay-on Mt. Desert. What a little place the world is, after all. Here it only seems a few weeks ago when Mr. Charles Denby was here, then came the news of his marriage, with a part of the hcreymoon spent in this city, and now comes the story across the Pacific of the presentation of the young couple to the Chinese emperor, and afterward to the em- press, this latter ceremony taking place’ in her private apartments. Mrs. Denby was Miss Orr of Evansville, Ind., and met her husband in Pekin, last year, while travel- ing with ex-Secretary and Mrs. Foster.

IMPROVEMENTS DURING THE PAST YEAR Additions to the Staff and the Nurses’ School. GENEROUS SERVICE Daniel H. Williams, surgeon-in-chief, to- day made his annual report to the Secre- tary of theInterior on the management of the Freedmen’s Hospital for the year end- ing June 30, 1895. Dr. Williams has been in charge less than a year, and at the out- get states that in mentioning the improve- ments that have gradually been introduced during the past few years, undue credit must surely not be given the present man- agement. The hospital was established during the last years of the war by the freedmen’s bureau, and was located in Le Droit Park. Washington, at that time a military city, was the asylum for fleeing refugee negroes, who were received and cared for here. Sickness, disease and death among them made the hospital a necessity. Congress supported it by regular annual appropria- tions, and in 1869 gave it the present site. Owing to the name given the institution for a time the character and opportunity of the hospital was underestimated, and it was, perhaps, at a disadvantage with both whites and the colored race. But the fos- tering care of the government has firmly established it with ample facilities and service. The medical department of Huw- ard University, now within its grounds, gone also to the efficiency of the institu- tion. The “Internes.” During Dr. Williams’ administration there has been added to the hospital the feature known as “internes,” a corps of young graduates of medical schools, who serve in the line of practical work fitting them for their professional life. This sys- tem is modeled upon the practice of all the lerge hospitals in this country and Europe. By it the student obtains practi- cal skill and professional knowledge and proficiency and the institution receives services that in character. and interest could not be secured without a very con- siderable outlay in salaries. In the opera- tion of this service at the Freedmen's Hos- pital many young colored medical gradu- ates are fitting themselves for future la- bors among their people. Dr. Williams states that the system has worked satis- factorily and promises well for the future. It is his purpose to appoint annually by means of competitive examinations such a number of “internes”’ as will be required by the necessities of the work. These ap- pointments are for one year and carry with them a small allowance to cover a limited and economical living and personal expense. ‘'Treining School for Nurses. Another feature which has been und2r- taken during the year is the training school for nurses. This is in the same line of ef- fort as the “irternes,” and has for its ob- ject the preparation of efficient scientific nurses. The work of the nurse involves tender and sympathetic service and com- prehersive knowledge is quite as import- ant as the offices of the physician. This training school is open to young color2d women who have graduated from the pub- lic schools and colleges and have attained the age and charecter that commend them to the consideration of the hospital author- ities. This school is in charge of Miss Sarah C. Ebersole, a graduate of the IIli- nois Training School for Nurses, and Dr. Williams says her experience and splendid discipline have made the school a com- plete success. The interest and hearty co- operation manifested by Secretary Smith toward the hospital, especially in the mat- ter of the “internes” and the training school for nurses, receives the hearty and grateful acknowledgments of Dr. Williams. Ambulance Service. There was also put in full operation this year an ambulance system. This depart- ment was fitted out in January, and is equipped for emergency service, day and night. An experienced “interne” accom- panies the ambulance on each call, and on the return reports, with his patient, to the physician in charge. An average of thirty calls a month are made on the ambulance department. The ambulance used is rot all that could be desired, but the institution hopes, through the kindly offices of the Dis- trict Commissioners, to have a new and modern ambulance during the present year. The Hospital Staff. The work of the hospital is classified into the following departments: Medical, sur- gical, gynecological, obstetrical, dermato- logical and genito-urinal diseases, throat and chest, pathological and bacteriological. In these several departments the work is done under the supervision of a practical staff of medical practitioners, who have achieved .a succesa in their professional service. The members of the staff are: Medical—Consulting physician, Dr. T. B. liood; consulting physicians, Drs. John E. Brackett, G. N. Perry, 8. R. Watts and Thomas Martin. Surgical — Surgeon-in- chief, Dr. Daniel H. Williams; attending surgeons, Drs. E. A. Bolloch and N. F. Graham. Gynecological—Consulting gyne- cologist, Dr. J. Taber Johnson; attending gynecologists, Dr. F. J. Shadd@ and Dr. Suis R. Hall. Obstetrical—Consulting ob- stetrician, Dr. Thomas C. Smith; atteading obstetricians, Dr. John R. Frat and Dr. E. F. King. Dermatological and genito- urinal diseases, Drs. Robert Reyburn and J. R. Wiljer. Throat and chest—Dr. Louis P. Smith. Pathological, Drs. D. S. oe J. M. Lamb. Bacteriological—Dr. W. W. Al- legar. The generous service of these phy- sicians is entirely voluntary and without compensation. The action of the Secretary of the In- terior in preventing the location of a ward fcr contagious diseases in the Freedmen’s Hospital is alluded to with an expression of thankful approval, on the ground that such action would have seriously interfered with the work of the hospital and. have been a serious hardship to its inmates. Dr. Williams recommends the appoint- ment of a warden or superintendent in ad- dition to the surgeon-in-chief, the duties of such an officer to be the oversight of the business affairs of the hospital. New Building Needed. He also urges provision for a new mod- ern brick building, equipped for all the work of a hospital. The present frame buildings are scattered from the main building and ure inconvenient in use. The cost of such a new building is estimated at $75,000, ani its equipment at $25,000. Dr. Willlams also stuggeste that provision should be made for the residence of the surgeon-in-chief at the hospital. During the year he has been called over one hun- dred times to go to the hospital between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 a.m., and this demonstrates that to be of prectical bene- fit the surgeon-in-chief should be required to live ir the institution. In the event that a new building cannot be assured, it is asked that steam heating be provided for the present buildings, as this is a con- venience greatly needed for the comfort ani proper care of the patients. The new plan of disbursements for the hospital by the District Commissioners has proved thoroughly satisfactory during the year. Dr, Wililams thanks the Commission- ers for their kindness, and makes special mention of the generous ald given the in- stitution by Col. John ‘Tracey, superintend- ent of charities; Auditor Petty and Mr. F. O. Beckett, property clerk. He also states that Dr. Rankin has taken a deep interest in the welfare of the hospital, through its relation to Howard University. During a temporary absence from the hospital, on ac- count of illness, the institution was placed in charge of Dr. John R. Francis, and this gentleman was appointed assistant surgeon- in-chief, his service being commended in the highest terms. Patients Cared For. There were treated in al! departments of the hospital during the year ending June 30, 1895, 9,332 cases, as follows: Medical cases, 1,100; surgical, 566; gynecological, 113; surgical operations in hospital, 198; eye cases, 26; obstetricai cases, cal cases in out-patient department, 4,519; surgical cases in out-patient department, ; Synecological cases in out-patient de- department, 294; eye cases in the same, 398; ear cases in the same, 49; operations on eye, ear and nose cases in the out- patient department, 56; deaths in the hcs- tal, 243. The largest number of deaths fom any one disease was 86, from tuber- culcsis. Of the 243 deaths 152 were wo- men. Of the 9,332 soy received 5,074 were females and males. There hehe admitted to igs hospital during the 2,248 patients, and there were 228 Births in the hospital, m: 2,476 in- mates. The nativity of these 2,476 patients was taken frcm their statements; of these 677 were born in the District, 782 in Vir- ginia, 420 in land, 63 in Ireland, 23 in Germany, 51 in New York, 48 in Penn- sylvania, 61 in North Carolina and 19 in West Virginia. Of the 228 births in the hospital in the year 216 were colored and 12 white. Of the 2,532 patients in the hos- pital, including those remaining over from the previous year, 454 were white and 2,078 "The ‘hospital e hospital in 1871 was placed in cha! of the Secretary of War; in 1874 under the Secretary of the Interior.

A bold effort to gain liberty was made by Private Gill at the arsenal yesterday. Gill was in the guard house awaiting sen- tence for the offense of assaulting an offi- cer. During the parade hour yesterday Gill attempted to escape, and, getting through the guard house window, ran to James creek, where he expected to find a con- federate awaiting him with clothing. He was seen by a sentinel, who called to him to halt, but, although shots were fired at him he kept on, and swimming the creek, looked for his confederate, who failed to make his appearance. Gill wandered about naked for about half an hour, when he was captured by Sergeant Gilmore, Cor- poral McGee and a guard of eleven men, and taken back to the guard house. ‘The papers in Gill's case are still at the War Department. His sentence has rot been given out, but he may serve a term of eight or ten years in the penitentiary. ill was court-martialed for assaulting Lieut.
