The Board OF Managers Of st. Marx :
hospital held 3 meeting last night ana
adopted resoiut on which vii make
the homeopathic physicians Of the city
tired. The resolution is a. follows:
"WHEsEAs, the trustees OF -. Marks
hospital, ln Al honest, earnest endeayor
70 carry out the resolution Of May 9,
addressed % the Homeopathic physi-
cans Of this city, tind il impossible 70
harmonic the terms Of that re solution
with what We deem for the best inter-
ests Of the institution; be il therefore
"Roolrsd, That the above resolution
Of May 9, IS hereby rescinded, and lie il
further
"ResoIred, That we deem il unwise
and against the best Interests OF tie
hospital to make any change in the ex-
istng rules and regulations"
None of the members OF the board
VIII tell how the vote on the resolution
stood. bat It is known that the vote
was not unanimous, and il IS under
stood that two Of tne members Will re-
sign their seats on the board by reason
of this action. The last clause Of the
resolution of May 6, read as follows:
"R@5lrsd, That said Homeopathic
physicians be allowed 10 bring their
patients 10 this hospital and 10 treat
them subject 10 the government and
regulations already established tor the
hospital"
On June 4. the Homoepaths adopted
a resolution accepting the offer of the
~. Marks board, and mad reason TO
suppose that the ~. Marks people
would stand 10y their action. But now
the II. Marks board has flunkcd on its
own proposition and matters stand Just
the same Is they have stood previous
10 the agitation, only the public cry IS
louder than ever for free hospital.
\ long time before the new s..
Marks Hospital approached compile
uOa-even Is long ago as last summer
the homeopathic physicians OF the
city began 10 forecast the relations
which tnelr school OF medicine would
be likely to sustain towards the new
institution. Ii was early deemed pru-
dent % secure n definite understand
ing, III order to know what encourage
ment and material assistance the ad-
herents OF the homeopathic school
ought properly to give to the rising en-
terprlsc, before making large invest
ments OF charity IN what might bring
them more shame than satisfaction.
Accordingly, they began their formal
Investigations a. early as the month OF
October OF last year. The Homeopathic
physicians, individually and collective
ly, consulted the authorities of the II.
Marks hospital. From every authori-
", female and male, assurances We're
gwen item that they would enjoy more
rights than they had ever dared 10 ask
Tor. Committees from the hospital
board and the homeopathic body met
and parted with the best possible un-
derstandIng that the homeopaths should !
ENJOY every privilege which the hospital
afforded, and the good work of hospi-
tai construction, furnishing aud
dedication went bravely for
ward 10 completion, all
classes OF the community Veing with
each other In the the lberality OF their
gifts tOr a great public endowment
All tins is history, which 10 would be
presunptuOus Tor any one 10 attempt TO
dIscrcdit.
But Is soon As the magnificent found
alton became firmly fixed In the grasp
OF the managers, doubt began TO arsc
whether the promise made 20 the home /
opaths would be really carried ont In
good faith. The College of Homco- /
pathc Physicians aad Surgeons was |
unwilling TO enter into sQuabbie over /
sacred rights that had Dcen thus SOLE |
omuly guaranteed, ami on Nav q. they 1
met Tor the purpose of considering /
the organization of hospital
Before this meeting had gotten 1
fairly tObus.ucss. a communication was 4
received from Dr. Campbell FAR as /
president OF the board Of trustees Of >t. /
Marx Home and Hospital THIS COM (
muu,cat0n fully admitted the moral (
obligation OF the hospital board % treat .
fairly tie homeopathic, but exposed I
deep regret at the necessity. on the I
ground that u would tee unWlso 20 /
unite the two systems OF practice 10 I
stated, furthermore, by way ot empha- I
sIzuC this protest against fulfilling
solemn pledge. that oa.v turee oI tne /.
five trustees were IVA favor of granting 7.
the proposed privilege even under
remarkable protest. After this earnest /
way OF soliciting The homeoplths not 90 4
accept thcIrughts, they made the foi-
loving resolution
"Rcoired, That said h0meopatb.c
be allowed To- bring tuer
patients 60 tbs hosp TAI. aud g. treat +
them subject 20 toe government and
regulations already established for the
hosp ial.'
