HOSPITAL FOR MONTPELIER.
Homer Heaton Makes Generous Dona-
tion to the city.

Montpelier. July 2.-The subject Of the
need in Montpelier of a city hospital has
been the cause of much comment among
the towspeople for more than a Yeat past.
The need was not only acknowledged but
feeble steps have been taken towards
founding such an institution sometime in
the dim future A fund for that purpose
was started by the society of Kings
Daughters last winter, which by small
donations from time to time has increa sed
to nearly 5000
But we are pleased to announce that in
stead of waiting perhaps 10 years, Mont
pclier is to have a fine hospital inside of
one year through the public spiritedness
and muniflcence of Mr.. Homer ". ilcatop
of Montpelier The lot which Mr.. I1eaton
purchased for that purpose last winter
includes 10 acres Of land situated between
Main and East Liberty streets off from
and westerly of College street.
There are to be- two buildings, one be-
ing the main or administration building,
and the other pavilion, the two con-
nected by corridor the frontage of
which Will he 120 feet, the depth 10 feet
and the level is about the same as that Of
the Montpelier seminary grounds. The
architects, who furnished the plans and
specifications for this work are Rand and
Taylor of Boston and the contractor is
| Thomas W. Rogers of Brandon, who has
had considerable experience as a builder.
The hospital is designed to be a com
plcte and up-to-date institution with all
the modern improvements and accessories
such as for many years to come will be
sufficient for this locality. The architect
himself said that he never saw a better
location for a hospital. 1t is to be built
1 on high ground in q spot where it will be
very quiet and cool in summer. The lace
commands n most beautiful view of the
Green Mountains and the horizon, includ-
ing Mount Hunger and Camel's Hump.
The soil is such that it can be easily
graded about the building into beautiful
lawns, walks and driveways. The archi-
tect has been at work on the plans for tho
past two months and work was COM
menced eXCavating for the cellar last
Monday morning.
The people of Montpelier are indeed to
be congratulated on this most desirable
prospective acquisition and they rejoice
that they have such benehcent man 9s

CLEVELAND FoRsAKES REFORM.
Prof. Mark W. Harrington, Chief OF the
Weather Bureau, Removed.

Washington, July 2-Prof Mark w.
Harrington, chief of the weather bureau,
has been removed by the president. There
had been friction between Prof Harring-
ton, who was a holding-over official, and
Secretary Morton, his official chief for
some time. On June 10, according to the
statement which Mr.. HARRINGTON now
makes public, the president requested his
resignation because of personal inter-
ests" He declined to resign and the
president directed his removal to take ef-
feet on July l.
Prof. Harrington was appointed by Sec
retary Rusk in 1890 from Michigan be-
cause Of his long acquaintance with me-
THEOLOGICAL matters. He has been a mem
Der of the faculty of Ann Arbor Cniver-
sity. There was an investigation into al
legged Irregularities in weather bureau ad-
ministration a year ago or more and con-
siderable talk at that time that Mr. Har-
rington's resignation would he accept
able, but it died away Mr.. Harrington
himself claims that he has been made
martyr to political necessities.
He said to-day:
Among the public interests which I
have had steadily in view were the pres
ervation of the scientific corps and the
protection of the bureau from the spoils-
man. When a scientific bureau desCends
to the four year office holding plane, it at
once loses prestige and ceases to be a de-
sirable post for competent men"
Secretary Morton to-day refused to
make any statement regarding Prof. Har-
rinEtCu's P, Inoval. Chief Clerk James r.
Cook is now acting as chief of the wealth
err bureau.

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE.


Next year at the Medical college there
Will be witnessed a radical change in the
system of studies and lectures, Under the
present system a certain fee is charged for
each regular and special course, while
next year the tuition fec will be 800 and
will include all the regular courses. The
special courses will be given the same as
this year, with a fcw possible additions,
but no extra tuition fee will be charged
for them. The idea of this change is to
make the course as much graded as is
possible in the present incommodious
quarters. for, as Dean Griunell said Il
few days ago at the corporation dinner,
the crying need of the medical department
is room-more room.
An important change in the faculty will
be the election of DR.. Jenne to the chair
of matera medica. Dr. Jenno was in
structor in this branch the past year and
his popularity nsurcs his future success
and he will fill the chair most admirably.
The examinations of the present scs-
sion close to-day and unless some are
"pluckcd' the college will graduate the
largest class in it's history, numbering
