calling the meeting to order invited Atior-
ney Pope to make statement in refer
ence to the peculiar action he had taken in
the matter, in order that the members
might have an idea of what was going on.
Mr.. Pope quietly arose and made a
speech in defense of his proceedings, the
gist of which was that he thought il illegal
to 80 dispose OF such large sum to
societies that have never benefited the
hospital, but he admitted that he would be
pleased to see it divided among Scottish
societies. they having aided in making the
Jubilee success.
President McNab followed and re-
minded the attorney that there were only
two foreign benevolent societies in this
city that were Incorporated and author
lied to receive trusts, and these we're the
two to which the funds had been given.
Captain Metcaf. made a long gument
favorlDg the society's action, stating there
was no need of British hospital in this
city. as Brltishers we're well cared for IN
American institutions, having the ad-
vantages over other foreigners of under
standing the language. He was followed
by number of others who were of the
same opinion, and desirous of dissolvn &
the organization in order to save further
worry and responsibility.
Mr.. Pope again reviewed the situation,
and made some strong remarks refleciing
on certain members, and as soon as he
finished President McNab sprang from his
seat and forcibly reminded the speaker
that his interest in the society from n
moral standpoint was decidedly assuming.
while from a financial view it was much
different. In cl"sing he said: Il will re-
mind you, Mr.. Pope. that you have never
contributed as much as cents to the
funds about which you are making such a
fuss. and still you are director. pretend
ing to protect the money of Others"
Pope jumped to his feet and denounced
the statement as an untruth. offering to
prove that he had donated sum before
the society was duly organized
Mr.. McNab stated that there was nc
record of the alleged contribution in the
books, and offered them for inspection.
Mr.. Pope silently sunk hard into his
chair and was not heard from for the rest
of the evening.
Attorney Deylin, also a member of the
society, reviewed the situation carefully,
and offered his services 10 contest the in
junction in the court. claiming that he
could possibly win the case. His offer
was we'll received by all, and motion was
then made and seconded to accept Attor-
ney Devlin's service and unite efforts to
fight the case in the end.
When put to vote the motion was car
ried by all but one vote. That was the
mo" uttered by Mr.. Pope, who appeared
somewhat downhearted by the opposition
he encountered on all sides. The meeting g
then adjO urned.

VICTORIA HOSPITAL.
A Stormy neeting of the Directors
and Stockholders.

A few years ago q grand jubilee was
given in this city in honor of the fifteth
anniversary of Queen VicIoria's ascension
to the throne. Those in charge of the
celebration decided to apply the profits to
organizing hospital society for the care
of British subjects in need of medical at
tendance. THIS amount realized was placed
in bank in :he name Of the Victoria Hos
pital Society. which had been duly or
ganized and incorporated under the laws of
the State. The members worked ardently
for the cause, and donations OF cash rolled
in in no SIN II amounts.
The work went on successfully for about
year, wheu it was seen that the society
had on hand nearly $1,000 and was in IL
flDuriShing condition.
For some reason members began to fall
out, donations became fewer, and, In fact,
the whole affair was at standstill, and the
ment were so discouraged that they, TOO.
began to weaken and for long time it was
an impossibility to secure a quorum at
meetings.
Last January the president made a
strenuous effort to secure an attendance at
a special meeting for the purpose of max
ing arrangements for the disposal of the

flourish under the existing circumstances.
A half-dOZen mem berS were present, and,
after thoroughly arguing the question. it
was decided to place the sum In trust with
the British Benevolent and st. AIMS soci-
eiies to be used in assisting such depen-
dants as were really in need, subject to the
discretion of the president
Attorney Pope. who is member of the
Hospital Society, was greatly opposed to
such an action. and soon after appealed to
the court asking that an injunction be
placed against the society on the ground
that it was illegal TO take funds secured
for a stated purpose and use them for
another. The injunction was granted and
| a stay of proceedings secured until meet
ing of tine society could be called to recon-
slider the action formally taken.
Last evening was the time appointed and
as consider able interest has been taken of
late in the proceedings an unusually large
attendance was present.
