THE HAHNEMANN STATUE.
The statue which the institute has determined
to erect to Samuel Hahnemann, the father Of
the new school of medicine, will undoubtedly
be erected in Washington. The doctors have
recognized the fact that the proposed statue
could enjoy no better national reputation than
to be placed in the capital city. Already 81 900
has been subscribed to further the project.
Buffalo was the first city to start the
boom In the person OF DIR. l. I.
Cook of that city, who planked up
$50. President Kline doubled this amount
and was followed bv President-elect McClelland
with another century, these gentlemen giving
an impetus to the movement that was con-
tagious to the amount of 81 900. All the visit
| ing doctors are great admirers of DIR. William
King of Washington, secretary of the local
committee of arrangements, whose valuable
work has been apparent all through the conven-
ton. At the excursion to Marshall Hall he let
his older local colleagues enjoy themselves
while he looked after the comforts Of the SOC
guests, which supervision proved very satisfac-
| tory to the visitors
