NEW York. May What the entire
coat of the Centennial celebration will be
il is impossible to say at the present time
1t seems pretty clear that, so far ss the
Centennial Committee Is concerned, the
expenses will exceed the money which has
been appropriated by the State and the
together with the subscriptions which have
been secured by the Finance Committee,
headed by Brsyton Ives.
According to Mr.. Bowen's official pro-
vramme the money appropriated by the
State of New York for the purposes OF the
celebration ives $500, 900. One hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars OF the,
however, belongs to the National Guard,
and $40, 900 WAS for the Grand Army oi
the Republic, SO that $55, 900 only goes to
the Centennial Committee. The city gov
eminent, however, appropriated S75, 600,
and the voluntary subscriptions have been
about $45, 600 This gives the committee
an aggregate fund of Sl75,OOO, and out
of this the expenses of the parade
must be met, the maintenance OF such
troops as have not been provided for by
the States to which they belong, the cost
of fireworks and decorations, and the very
heavy expenses of the committee incurred
during the work of preparation. Spacious
offices have be en- maintained IN the Stew
art Building since last November, and q
number of parlors at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel have been occupied by the Army
Committee since January of the present
wear. When to these expenses is added
the probable deficit in the ball and ban

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The Trustee,
of Jefferson Medical Hospital held specs
meeting yesterday afternoon, and it wal
expected that at this time the subject of {
successor to the late Dr. Samuel w. Gross
who occupied the chair of the
Principles of Surgery would come up
but all discussion of the matter was de.
ferred until future meeting, owing chief
ly to the difference of opinion as to the
availability Of the candidates who are be-
ing urged for the place. A special meet
ing of the board will be called in few
weeks, at which nominations will be pre-
sented. The election will not take place
until some time in June
In the meantime very considerable
amount of speculation and gossip is going
on in medical circles and among those in
terested in the Jefferson Medical College
~ 10 who will be selected to fill the chair
made vacant by the death of DR.. Gross. II

college, uDu WDllc IL lnNOifcs grave ic-

order. No member of the Board of Trus-
tess is willing to express al opinion in ad-
vance as TO the chances or merits of the
men whose names have already been pro-
posed, and whose candidacy is being urged
by their friends.
A prominent physician connected with
the college said yesterday afternoon that
while no action had been taken at the
meeting of the Board of Trustees, he felt
sure from what he had heard in various
discussions of the coming election that
DR.. Charles B. Nancrede would be selected
to fill DIR. Gross place. DR.. Nancrede is a
we'll. known practitioner of high reputa-
ton, who has made specially of surgery,
and it is understood that he has number
of warm friends and admirers on the Board
of Trustees.
The other names most prominently men
toned for the place are those of DR.. Ewing
Mears. DR.. w. W. Keen and DR.. Oscar h.
