TENTS. collect bills, and do such duties
In connection with the books as an eco
nomic administration of affairs may de-
mand. This can be done at a reasonable
expense. and the hospital will save by
this in the end. Had you been in as close
touch with the workings OF our institu-
ton as / have been, you could not fail
TO appreciate the Importance OF this step.
Second. | suggest the renting OF suit
able building i'm the immediate neighbour
hood for the purpose OF caring Tor de-
serving poor women who are about TO De-
come mothers. This is very important,
and II Is commended TO your special at
tcntion. Many lives are lost for the want
Of proper hygenic conditions and skilled
medical treatment. This TO be known as
the Maternity Pavilion. In the establish
mcnt of this, however. IL Is not designed
that 1t shall supplant the Lying-in Dis
pensary at Seventeenth and Broad
streets.
Third / suggest the permanent en-
Iargement OF the hospital. A much desir-
cd Improvement would be the addition OF
two wings at the present building, leav-
INK a court in the centre. which would
increase our capacity TO at least one num-
dred and nifty patients. and i sincere
Is hope that the day is not far distant
when this can be done.
There Is in connection with the hos
piial, a Training School for Nurses. I'M
der the supervision of the Standing Com
mittee on Training School. and the i'm
mediate direction of the efficient head
nurse Miss w. r. Yeamans. Lectures
are delivered at stated times by members
Of the Faculty OF the University College
OF Medicine, whose services are rendered
gratuitously. The school is, therefore, at
no expense 10 the hospital and II rem
dcrs invaluable service in preparing
young ladies for the important duties oil
the sick-rOom.
In recent visit TO several Of the
Northern cities, inspected several Of the
more important hospitals. and am OF
the opinion that the Virginia Hospital,
though smaller, compares favOrably in
equipment and service with any | have
seen. 1 hope IT will be your pleasure to
inspect our building and its appoint
ments.
Reference is respectfully made to that
part OF this report which refers TO the
number and class Of patients treated.
In closing. / beg TO express my appre-
citation of the confidence repOsed in the
selection Of me as the Dircctor-in-Charge
Every effort has been made TO as faith
ful discharge OF this duty as was con-
sistent with the time I could give, and I
trust Ia the appointment TO this posi-
ton for the ensuing year. IL viii be given
TO some one who can give closer attention
10 It's important duties. My sincere
thanks are due the members OF the La
dies Auxiliary, the Medical STAFF, and
the corps Of attaches for their con-
tinued kindness and courtesy. and their
unfailing support.
Hoping for Virginia Hospital, the con-
summation of glorious success, and that
each succeeding year may be the augur
OF better things to come | am,

vice OF the government, he resolved to
see II 1t would not reduce the frightful
mortality, which was one TO every three
and one half men who entered the hos.
pital. At first he employed the uuinine
merely as an adjunct to the bleeding.
BE soon found that bleeding was killing
the men, and that quinine was saving
them.
Maillot quite naturally enough grew
to be the opponent OF bleeding, but he
was so ceaselessly viliaed by members
OF the medical profession that he be

Nearly thirty years passed before Mail

ideas. Doctors continued to bleed their
patients heartily for all manner OF Ills.
But in 1860 Msillo. was made con-

chief of the medical staff OF the French
army, and his influence with others in
bringing about virtual revolution in
the practice OF medicine was fully
recognized.

as to commend itself To him, AMI tnat up
to December, 1885. it was mt such as to
recommend him for promotion TO the
grade OF comma ndcr. Just here comes in "a
technical poist.
LUDLOw's MOTIVE.
The Navy Departments interrogatories
related to a periud from March, 1885. To
Deceinber, $50: whereas the time to be
covered was from October II, 1855, To
December !. 1883. Although Commander
Ludiow's first answers Were dated Octu-
ber IL. 1885. Lieut.. Sperry's promotion
to the grade of lieutenant commander was
afterward dated back to March Of that
year. vacancy for him existing from
that time.
The President seems to entertain the
opinion that there must have been "A mo-
tive on the part of Commander Ludlow
for changing his mind [" he professional
fitness of Commander Sperry. for the rea-
son that such Il radical change OF opinion
in n period uf two months is remarkable.
The official conclusion seems to be, there
fore. that Comma nder Ludlow 6car malice
toward Commander Sperry, and has sworn
to a statement which is inconsistent, If not
false. Comma ndcr Ludlow explains by say
ing that the earlier interrogatcries OF the
Navy Department covered Il period when he
found his executive a satisfactory officer.
and that subsequently, after these interrog-
atories were answered, Lieut.. Commander
Sperry conducted himself in u manner not
commendablc.
The President or a board viii gain review
the ease in the light OF Commander Ludlow's
new statement. Until u decision is reached
Commander Ludlow will remain at the head
of his grade. IL has been supposed that the
holding back Of executive action in his case
would not operate as bar to the promotion
of other commanders. Such seems not to
be the fact.
Delay In the matter means the blocking
of promotions until Commander Ludlows
case is settled. No officer can Jump
over him. and. as his own advancement
is prevented. no promotions will result.
An interesting feature OF the case has
been called up by naval officer. 1t ap-
pears that during the recent Senate inquiry
into the causes OF the overthrow of the mon
archy in Hawaii and the establishment of
republican for of government Commander
Ludlow. o fallthcnavai officers who testified
before the committee. was the only witness
who approved the attitude of the admins
tration to the effect that Liliuokalani had
been wrongfully Gethroned as the result Of q
conspiracy. and that it was the duty of the
United States. considering all the circum-
stances, to restore her to power.

LIGHTHOUSE In OPEN SEA
Daring Piece Of Engineering Under
taken by the Government.
Have Accomplished Growing
Triumph in Science.

difficult and costly piece of engineer
ing has been undertaken by the United
States Government in the projected estab-
lishment of Il great lighthouse in the open
ocean Off Dianic--d Shoal, seven miles from
the present Hatteras light, and bearing al
most due East.
This is one of the most daring schemes
that Army officers have dealt with since

n,ent and placed there Il solid foundation

of the foundation series is to be 90 feet,
and the height Of the floor of the house

of the structure is to be constructed of
forged steel members, with principal joints
and connections formed of steel castings.
A special feature of the design is TO make
ali essential parts below the water line
