DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS An Important Report Made to the Medical An Effort to Regulate Difficulties Be- tween Physicians and Laymen in Connection With Hospitals, ‘The committee on hospitals of the Medical Association submitted an important report at its last meeting, touching hospital abuses. It will be recalled that a report upon the subject was presented some weeks ago to the association, which set forth at length the alleged abuses practiced at the several hospitals of the city. In this report it was stated that a vast number of patients treated free at the institutions were able to pay. Upon the receipt of this report a special committee was appointed to further investigate the subject and sub- mit recommendations. This report was made at the last meeting of the associa? tion and unanimously adopted. Among other things the report recom- mends that all patients applying to hospi- tals for free treatment must have a writ- ten certificate of their inabilty to pay, the certificate to be issued by the physicians to the roor, the superintendent of the Asso- clated Charities or any practicing physi- cian. This rvle is not applicable to emer- gency cases, and the report provides that such cases picked up on the street must be carried to the nearest hospital having an emergency service, or to their homes, if they or their friends so request. Emer- gency cases must be kept only so long as is necessary on account of safety and then sent to their homes or some other hospital. Physicians treating patients in pay rooms of 2 hospital, the report recommends, must demand a fee for such service unless it be clearly shown that the patient is unable to pay. It is right kere, the committee asserts, that the greatest abuses existed. Patients well able to pay for professional services take a room at one of the hospitals and undergo treatment .or extensive operation without additional pay. Perhaps the most important feature of the report is the recommendation con- cerning the management of hospitals. Heretofore the lay members of the board governing the management of a hospital have dictated the tenure of office of the professional staff. Favoritism has been charged, and time and again it has been stated that persoral antagonism to some physician has operated to his disadvantage and resulted in an impairment of the serv- ice. The report takes this matter entirely out of the hands of the board, and prac- ticully mekes it impossible for the lay board to make any changes in the profes- sional staff unless for good and sufficient reasors. In this connection the report recommends that should it become neces- sary at any time for the staff cr the ma- jority of a staff of a hospital to resign on account of a difference with the board of trustees the matter shall be investigated by the standing commit‘ee, and if the as- sociation find that the resignation was for good cause, then no member of the Medical Aesociation shall fill the vacancy so created. ‘This practicelly means that should a dif- ference arise between the lay members and the staff in which the former were in fault they would have to satisfy the disgruntled staff or the hospital would be without a medical staff; for by the terms of the re- port no member of the association can fill the vacancy. The report provides further that should a member of the medical staff of any hospital be dropped by the lay board, and the Medical Association tinds after investigation by the standing com- mittee that such member was dropped without just cause, then no member of the association shall take his place. Under the provisions of this section, the doctors say, it will be impossible for a lay board to set- tle any personal scores with individual members of the medical staff. Such a rule has long been under consider- ation by the association. a The Only Direct and Most Comfortable Route to Old Point Comfort is via the Norfolk and Washington steam- ers.

High School Notes. A luncheon at the Central last Wednes- day, for the purpose of raising money for the band on the 4th of March, was a suc- cess financially as well as socially. One of the features of the lunch was the Chinese tea table managed by Lieut. Zee of the le- gation. It was handsomely decorated with Chinese flags and colors, and the little son of the Chinese minister occupied a chair of state behind the center of the table and graciously smiled on those who were crowd- ing around to buy the good things offered for sale. The tea was poured from massive silver teapots and served in prettily decor- ated cups, all of which were furnished for the occasion by the legation. Miss Florence Morrill of the fourth year delivered an entertaining and interesting talk on the current news of the day to the pupils of the Eastern last Tuesday morning. The luncheon at the Eastern Wednesday met with as much success as the one at the Central, when the number of pupils at the two schools are taken into comparison. The lunch was served in the drill hall. The tables were presided over by the young ladies, leaving the boys nothing to do but to spend their money. A luncheon will be served in the Business High School next Wednesday at noon, for the purpose of raising money for the band. The Absclutely Pure Baking Powder.

It is called the Crystal Maze, and will probably be a well-patron- ized novelty for some time to come. Large mirrors placed in the most bewildering fashion constitute the “maze,” and it is very certain a good many people will be amazed by them. This idea is not a new one, but has never been seen in this city, and similar plans in other large cities have created the greatest of wonder and in- terest. Carroll Institute Fair._The second week of the Carroll Institute fair begins this evening. Preparations have been made with a view of an increased attendance during the week, and it is expected that the receipts will show a much more prom- ising figure than they did for the weeks previous. The attendance, however, dur- ing the week just passed wae fully up to the expectations of the management, and there is no doubt but that the figure for the full two weeks will more than satisfy those who have the fair in charge. A gen- eral invitation was issued to the pupils of the various Catholic institutions of the city to visit the fair this afternoon, and, despite the threatening weather, a large attendance was noted. Tomorrow night there will be a game of basket ball played at the club house by the team of the Car- roll Institute and the Corcoran Cadets. The entire Corcoran Cadet Corps, under command of Capt. Edwards, vill be pres- ent. The Catholic Knights of America will also visit the fair tomorrow evening. The Ancient Order of Hibernians will visit the fair Wednesday night, while invita- tions have been extended to the Columbia Athletic Club, the Capital Bicycle Club, the Saengerbund, the Queer Wheelmen, the Washington Athletic Club and the Catho- lic Club for Thursday evening, it being the oor to make that night a special club night. Dr. Croffut’s Lecture.—An illustrated lec- ture on “The Shrines of Greece and Rome” was delivered last night at Typographical Temple by Dr. W. A. Croffut before a large and enthusiastic audience, that appreciated the good points of the talk and applauded the fine views that were shown. Dr. Crof- fut began at the very beginning of his sub- ject picturing man as he battled for life amid the thousand enemies that beset him. He outlined the religious principles, beliefs and ceremonies of the ancient people of Greece and Rome, and showed their tem- ples, altars and places of public worship. He said that the people of mythology, to the age of which all lands go back, were free to think as they pleased, choose what gods suited them, if any did suit, or, if not, it was all right, and pray or not, just as it suited them. The whole religion was joy- ous and free. Pagan Rome was liberal and tolerant. The Pantheon when built had an open space left in the top for foreign gods to make an entrance by, and when a na- tion was conquered its gods were added to the stock already on hand. Dr. Croffut drew as a conclusion from this state of affairs the fact that as soon as the Pan- theon was closed and uniformity of faith compelled the great empire began to fall. Some of the views shown were very fine, and the lecture and pictures alike received the earnest attention of all present. “The Daughter of Jairus.” The fourth annual choir festival of Epiphany parish will take place “at Epiphany Church next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, upon which cecasion Sir John Stainer’s “The Daughter of Jairus” will be sung by the vested choir, under the direction of Mr. H. Clough-Leigh- ter, organist and choir master of the parish. There will be no charge of admis- sion, but an offertory will be taken for the benefit of the Epiphany Mission kinder- garten. ¢ “Last Days of Pompeii.’"—Initial produc- tions usually reveal to the. author or adapter opportunities for improvement. When Rey. Howard Wilbur Ennis presents tomorrow evening at the Western Presby- terian Church for the second time his adaptation of Lytton’s ‘Last Days of Pom- peli” it will be materially strengthened from its first night, as it has been cur- tailed and intensified in many Places. Sev- eral new and beautiful views have been added, introducing” pleasing effects. The crowded house and people turned away augur well for its reproduction. The Misses De Camp.—The Misses De Camp, two young vocalists from Philadel- phia, will be heard in concert next Satur- day evening at Universalist Church, 13th and L streets, assisted by Mr. Herman Rakemann, violinist, and Mr. Henry Xander, Pianist. These young ladies have had care- ful training at the hands of the best in- structors, their musical education being directed by the late Wm. Steinway. Their} voices possess the quality of perfectly har- monizing, and they have therefore made the rendition of duets a feature. They were cordially received upon their recent urn to their native city, and have met ret with a Kind reception in private circles here. Col. Ingersoll’s Lecture—“How to Re- form Mankind” is the name of the new lec- ture which Robert G. Ingersoll will deliver at the New National Theater next Sunday night. In this lecture the celebrated ag- nostic is said to have surpassed all his previous efforts, and the press of New York and Boston, where it has recently been given, have ‘pronounced it the most scholarly, artalytical and eloquent discourse that Col. Ingersoll has ever delivered. Capi- tal and labor, marriage and divorce, the establishment of homes, the reforming of criminals and other equally interesting topics are touched upon by the genial agnostic in a decidedly original manner. The colonel has fully recovered from his recent Illness, and will no doubt charm and divert his admirers with all his old-time power. The box office will oven Thursday morning for the reservation of places. eseete S Admiral Colhoun’s Funeral. Rear Admiral E. R. Colhoun was buried in Arlington cemetery Saturday afternoon with simple military honors. Religious services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Ham- lin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant.

Langdon is Dedicating.a Long-Needead Building With Mach Ceremony. The new public school: building at Lang- don will be dedicatea this afternoon. at 4 o'clock with: appropriate exercises. The building ts a neat frame afd brick structure, and 1s located on a handsome plateau, an acre in extent, near the inter- section of Frankfort and-20th streets, on the line dividing Winthrop Heights and Langdon. The house iz 125 by 70 feet, and rises two-stories above the basement. The latter is divided into :two play rooms, for .the girls and boys, respectively, the floor of each: ‘being brick, cemented: fuel rooms, etc. The first floor contains two large school «rooms, with cloak rooms and library, and the secofd story several large school and cloak rooms. The appropriation by Congress was $8,000, and it was com- pleted by Messrs. Pavarini and Greer, the contractors, within that sum. The dedication of the school building will mark the culmination of about one year's hard labor on the part of Mr. H. 8. Sut- ton, secretary, and other members of the Northeastern Suburban Citizens’ Associa- tion. 5 The new building has not been officially named as yet. There are many ‘persons who think that this honor belongs to Mr. Sutton, who did so much to agitaie the question and secure the appropriation, but Mr. Sutton says he is not anxious that the board should compliment him in such a manner. The suggestion has been made that the school be named “Mills,” in honor of the late Clark Mills, the sculptor, who resided for so many years in Langdon. The opening exercises will commence im- mediately after the arrival of the 3:25 p.m. train from Washington, at whieh time Superintendent W. B. Powell of the public schools, Supervising Principal Patterson, Dr. F. T. Howe and other speakers will be met (if the weather permits) by the chil- dren of the school and escorted to the new school building. Arriving there, Past Grand Councillor Thomas P. Moore of the Junior Order of American Mechanics will conduct a patriotic service, during which a United States flag will be raised to the flagstaff on top of the building, and music will be rendered by the Metropolitan Mandolin Quartet. The rest of the exercises will be con- ducted inside the building, and will com- prise: Prayer, by Rev. Mr. Crowe, rector of the Church of Our Savior, Brookland, and St. Barnabas’ Mission, Langdon; sing- ing of patriotic songs; addresses Ly Presi- dent Watson of the citizens’ association, in charge; Superintendent Powell and Supervising Principal Patterson; two piano solos; remarks by Mr. Grant Sexton of Avalon Heights, Mr. Theodore Hull of Brookland, Mr. W. J. Fowler of Ecking- ton, Mr. H. S. Sutton of Langdon, Dr. L. C. Loomis of Winthrop Heights and Dr. Franklin T. Howe of University Heights, after which “America” will be sung by the audience, and Rev. W. H. Chapman, pastor of the Langdon M. E. Church, will pro- nounce the benediction. It is understood that in the near future there will be a redivision of the school dis- tricts in this vicinity, and that some of the children who now attend the city schools, aiso those in Soutn Brookland, Eckington and on the Bladensburg pike, will be expected to attend the Langdon School, as the latter is much nearer to their homes than are the schools which they now attend. a Mardi Gras—New Orleans, Mobile and Birmingham. On account of the above the B. and O. R. R. will sell round-trip tickets from Wash- ington to points mentioned, February 26 to March 1, at greatly reduced rates.—Advt. a AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The Powers of the Board of Child?en's Guardians Defined. Judgé‘Cole late Saturday afternoon dis- missed the application for writ of habeas corpus made by Mrs. Ada C. M. Sturges, who sought to recover: the custody of the little child Myrtle Grimsley. The latter had been adopted by Mrs. Sturges, but was recently taken from her by the board of children’s guardians. It was claimed by the board that Mrs. Sturges was ill-treat- ing the child, and was therefore not a proper person to have the care of it. The hearing occupied several days, the final ftep being the remanding of Myrtle to the board. In announcing hts decision Judge Cole Btated that he gave to the action of the board of children’s guardians the same weight he would give to the verdict of a jury. He could not, and would not, he said, set aside the action of the board, ex- cept under cireumstances that would jus- tify the setting aside of the verdict of a jury. The court would have had great difficuity in reaching a decision, on account of the conflicting nature of the testimony, announced Judge Cole, if he had been in the position of a jury and charged with the responsibility of deciding matters of fact, or whether or not Myrtle had at any time been cruelly treated by Mrs. Sturges. — Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites brings back the ruddy glow of life to pale cheeks, the lips become red, the ears lose their transparency, the step is quick and elastic, work is no longer a bur- den, exercise is not followed by ex- haustion; and it does this because it furnishes the body with a needed food and changes diseased action to healthy. and improved nutrition, the rest fol- With a better circulation low. oF For sale at 50 cents and $1.00 by all druggists.

There was another shooting incident at Jackson City Saturday night, which came very near adding one more murder to the long list that has marked the history of that unsavory village. Mary Johnson, or Turner, had @ quarrel with her lover, Jo- seph Johnson, in the grocery store of Chas. Mudd, which ts situated just beyond the village. Johnson was jealous when he saw the woman with another man, and, secur- ing a revolver, he aimed it directly at her. The bullet penetrated the shoulder, inflict- ing a serious but not fatal wound. The woman was brought to this city and was given medical attendance at the Emergency Hospital. The man was not arrested. First in the first class is Cleveland’s Baking Powder. Last Days of Pompeii.
