 BALTIMORE, May 2-The Johns Hopkins hospital at Monument street and Broadway was formerly opened this morning. It is one of the finest and most complete institutions in the world, embracing seventeen buildings which cover four acres of ground ,surrou nded by ten acres more of beautiful parkage which will afford healthful exercise to the patients. It's construction was begun more than ten years ago and the total cost was S, ,050, ,000. President Gilman says of the hospital: "It will be medical school for the university. It is to be an ideal institution. All the art of modern science has been brought to bear upon it's construction. It is as complete in every way as it could be made. In this institution we see the broad idea of mans needs represented. Men need better bodies not be secured by physicians going from house to house. Here will be all the appa- ratus of medical science, skilled practition- CTS, and body of advanced workers. This institution will teach the world a great ob- iect. Here will be scientific observation that will be of incalculable value to medical men, and in this great institution will also be trained large numbers of persons to tend the sick. Our outlay will soon be justified"
 To the munifcence of one man Baltimore owes this great institution, the late Johnss Hopkins. It was he also who founded and provided for the Johns Hopkins university.
