CURTIS’ VIEWS Recommendations in Regard to the Freedmen’s Hospital, THE FAULTS OF DUAL MANAGEMENT Favors Vesting Control in the In- terior Department. NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED ———— The annual report of Dr. A. M. Curtis, the surgeon-in-chief of the Freedmen's Hospital, which was submitted to the Sec- retary of the Interior today, says: “In referring to the condition, manage- ment and needs of the hospital, and in making such recommendations as seem to me finportant, you are respectfully request- ed to carefully consider and give due weight to the recent report of the board of visitors, dated June 24, 1898, whose very exhaustive treatment of every subject touching the welfare of this institution leaves little to be said in the restricted space which must be devoted to my report. As shown in that report, many trregulari- ties therein referred to had already been discovered, and such reformation as was possible had been inaugurated directly after my adyent as surgeon in chief.

Howard University Medical School. “This hospital, being so closeiy connected with the Howard University Medical School, secures the colored medical stu- dents of this country the greatest advan- tages of any similar institution. Large numbers of medical students are attracted to sald school because of the superior op- portunities afforded by the hospital for clinical advantages. While the hospital and school are separate and distinct insti- tutions, they are so closely related in the fundamental object of their establishment as to render them mutuaily helpful to each other in advanci he material interests of the 4 hich their existence ts rendered neces: There Is no reason why the authorities of the medical school and hospital should not continue to be thus helpful in the interest of science. and, so far as is consistent with approved methcds and the prescribed regula y the Interior Department, every facility will be afforded to the medical school in the prosecution of their commendable endeav- ors. “J would be derelict in the highest duty to myself and to the race which I represeat should I close this repcrt without offering scme word of gratitude to you for the deep personal interes’ you have taken in the gencral maaagement and highest Gevelop- ment of this hospital, and yet the ienguage is so impoverished as to furnisa no ade- quate means of expressing such sentiments as the situation demands. Your long and large experience in matters of business, ccupled with the fact of your supervisory connection with some of the largest eloe- mosynary institutious in this country, ren- ders it especially fortunate for the patrons of Freedmen’s Hcspitel that you, as its au- thorized head, should, at a time when so many reforms were needed, personally dl- rect the new plans for its management and the codification of rules for its government, You have added a new and memorable epoch to the history of this institution, and the near future will, no doubt, show ma- terfal evidences of your high’ purpose to serve that class of humanity who most need sympathy ard help.” mpoended to the report ate a number of tablen giving the statistics of the yonr’s work, and also the report of tho training school for nurses, which ig under the su- pervision of Miss Sarah C.

Mrs. Shamel Recognizes Dead Man ax Her Husband. Coroner Carr late yesterday afternoon became satisfied, from the evidence of Mrs. Charles Shamel of No. 603 A street south- east, that the body of the man which had been at the morgue for several days was that of her husband, and issued a certifi- cate accordingly. Later the remains werc burled. Mrs. Shamel said today that her late hus- band was thirty-eight years of age, and at the time of his disappearance, six months ago, was employed in the navy yard. He was for three years in the regular army and was discharged for disability. For some time before he left the city, his wife said, Shamel acted as though he was losing his mind, and one night while the rest of the family were asleep he climbed out of a back window and went off. From that time until Mrs. Shamel found her husband's nae body at the morgue she did not see im. Mrs. Shamel is left with three small chil- dren to suyport: Her means are limited, and some friends who have interested them- selves in the matter will try to get a pen- sion from the government for her. a Fuel Inspections. The annual report of Mr. John C. How- ard, the District inspector of fuel, was filed today. It is as follows: “I have the honor to submit the following report, showing the amount of coal and wood used by the Dis- trict ee for the fiscal year cnding June 30, 188: Eleven thousand six hundred and sixty-one tons and 355 pounds ef coal; 561 cords of wood.” CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

ADDITION 0 NATIONAL MUSEUM Reminders of Various Scenes of the Recent Conflict. AN INTERESTING DISPLAY Relics of the battle ship Maine, taken from the wrecked hulk In Havana harbor, and interesting curiosities and souvenirs of the fierce but brief war with Spain have been collected and are now on exhibition in the National Museum. They are exhibited temporarily in the big Blass cage in the center of the rotunda, north of the great plaster cast of the God- dese of Liberty, and approached directly from the main door on the north side of the building. As fast as the collection increases other eases will be employed, and it will not be long before this exhibit will form by far the largest and most entertaining group in the museum.

Contributed Relics. R. C. Goodmaa of Company D, District of Columbia Volunteers, has contributed number of interesting mementos of sol- diers’ life in Cuba. One is the hat he wore. It is the regulation fatigue affair so tiliar to everybody, but curiously inscrib- ed. On the rim of the hat are the legends: “On board the U. S. transport Catania bound for Cuba” and “Home again on U. S. transport Hudscn.' ‘The round top is dented in, and on the four surfaces so formed are various inscripticns, such a: “On the heights of San Juan,” “Santis July 17, 1898" and “Camp Alger.” “Chic! amauga,” “Tampa,” “Port Tampa’ “Key West” fill up another sid nated also a Springfield rifle picked u: the inrer trench afier the charge by Ss. a Ke co- is Tist New York Volunteers up San Juan hill.

It was issued at Santiago, but evidently the corporal was willing to sacrifice his appe- tite in order to preserve mute evidence of the fect that a soldier's life is not all the novelists paint it. A_copy of the first Americzen publication in Cube, called “Compeny F Dnterprise,” is exhibited. It {is marked “Souvenir Bdl- tion,” “Price, 10 cents,” and dated “Santi- ago de Cuba, July 26, 1898."
