ment of the affairs has been highly com.

sicians of the attending staff He has not
as yet decided whether lie will practice in
Washington OF return to his old home in
Johnstown, n. Y.
Dr. Lawrence, who is eminently qualified
to act as his successor, has the distinction
of being raised to the position of chief
surgeon on shorter term of service than
has ever been required of the hospital ply
sicians heretofore, which attests his su-
perior ability. He has been resident of
Washington for fifteen years and is a
graduate of Columbian University.
