behalf of either side, but to be stated
simply as facts.
The resolution was accepted and
adopted amid loud applause.
DR.. Dennison, Colorado, offered the
following resolution which was
adopted:
ResoIUed, That no action of this asso-
citation. either in its code or its annual
meetings, shall be construed to commit
members of the American Medical
Association to the adherence of any
dogma, and members should have q
care not to allow their names to be err
runeously registered as allopathists,
etc., in state and city registration of
physicians.
The social features of the gathering
were greatly enjoyed by all partici-
pants. st. Paul, which is rot apt to
| overdo anything of this kind, fairly as
tonished herself. Free railroad passes
were rendered to all who wished to Wis
it any part of the northwest-good for
the whole month of June-and very
large number availed themselves of the
opportunity to go to Dakota, Superior,
Winnipeg, and every section that could
be reached by rail. On Tuesday eveR-
ing there was grand reception and
banquet at the Metropolitan Hotel, at
tended by about one thousand people.
On Wednesday evening, the hospitable
mansions of Ex-Governor Ramsey, DIR.
ID. w. Hand, DIR. ]. III. Murphy, DR.. A.
]. Stone, ]. ]. Hall, Esq, Hon. George
l.. Becker, and others were thrown
open to the doctors and hundreds of
them were present. Nothing was over
| looked to render the occasion one of
| pleasure to the guests of the city.
There was no stiff formality, but as far
as possible an effort was made, and it
was g successful one, to make all feel
at home. Each morning and evening
hundreds of carriages were occupied by
the doctors and driven about the city
and suburbs. A very large number OF
parties and gatherings occurred at the
residences of citizens in honor of ac-
/ quaintances and friends of the profes-
| sion.
Probably the most elaborate and
| brilliant affair was the party at Still
water on Thursday night by Hon. ID
NJ. Sabin. Two trains embracing 1000
people, left at 5 o'clock, and at seven
O'Clock were sailing or steaming on the
beautiful St. Croix. One of the Incl
dents ON the lake as the steamers
threaded their way among the lumber
booms, was deafening cheers from the
throats of 500 red-shirted lumbermen
who were ranged on the RATS. On
landing thay were taken to Mr.. Sabin's
spacious mansion. The lawn, in the
language of the Jenkinson reporter
was ga blaze of light" Hundreds oil
electric incandescents, myriads of Chi
nese lanterns and adamantines lent q
glow to the production of scene Of
fairy-like beauty. Then and there was
slaughter dire among the dishes tooth
some, and for full half hour the rattle
of those weapons OF good-fellowship,
the knife and fork, responded like 3
fire by file. The eating ended, the
smooth platform was prepared for the
dancers. All were delighted with the
entertainment.
On Friday evening the Sir Knights Of
Damascus Commandery of st. Paul
entertained right royalty in their
asylum. the Medical Sir Knights from
other states.
On the whole, to sum up the meet
ing of the association, the gathering oil
so many physicians, and the knowledge
they viii obtain of the country and
people, is generally regarded of vast
importance to the future of the north
west.
