to He Unveiled Thursday Afternoon
The annual meeting of the American
Institute Of Homeopathy will begin at the
Arlington Hotel tomorrow and sessions
will be held daily until Saturday. The
indications are that all Of the sessions will
be very busy ones.
DR.. w. r. King, who is chairman Of the
local reception committee. has, with his
assistants, worked necessarily during the
past few months for the success of the
meeting and all Of his plans for the en-
tertainment of the large number Of dele
gates with the members of their families,
| who are expected to be present, are COM
pleted.
| Those who attend the meeting will not
alone be benefited in their professional
duties by attending the sessions Of the
| institute, but every effort will be made to
make them have a splendid time socially,
and they will be given excellent opportun-
| tiles for seeing the many points of inter-
est in and around the city, which at this
season of the year is wearing its prettiest
! garb
One thousand delegates are expected to
attend the sessions Of the institute. This
number would probably have been much
larger, but owing to change in the pro-
gramme, which was made since the last an
nuaI convention, this city was not finally
fixed upon as the meeting place until last
February. At the last annual meeting the
understanding was that the next session
should be held In Cleveland, Ohio, unless
1t should be decided to hold ceremonies
in connection with the dedication Of the
Hahnemann monument in this city. When
1t was found in the latter part OF the win
ter that the monument would be COM
pleted and that the location in one Of the
reservations northeast of Scott Circle had
been granted by Congress, the arrange
ments entered into at the last session went
Into force, and 1t was decided to hold the
next meeting Of the institute in this city.
Since that time the local committees have
beer busily engaged and all the details
have been perfected.
The first session of the institute will
be held tomorrow afternoon at the Airing
ten Hotel which will be the general
headquarters. Some OF the sections will |
evening Of the opening day there will |
be a meeting at the National Theatre. at ]
which the Marine Band will furnish E,uslc. |
DR.. William r. King will deliver an adj !
dress of welcome to the visitors, and one !
of the District Commissioners will well
come the guests on behalf OF the citizens !
generally. Charles F. Walton, of Cincin
natl, President Of the institute, will de-
liver his annual address.
Thursday affarnOou President will
tender the visiting delegations rece2-
ton at the White House, and at 4:4o
o'clock the dedcatory services Of the
monument to Samuel Hahnemann, which
has recently been erected in Scott Circle,
will occur. This will probably be the
most important event Of the meeting for
the reason that the monument is the cul-
mination OF about eight years OF enthu-
siastic effort on the part of the members
of the institute.
The homeopathists of the country con-
tributed $4,000 for the erection Of the
statue and 1t will form a notable addition to
the statuary of the city. The exercises will
be held at the statue and the music will
be furnished by the United States Marine
Band. The President of the United States
and other representatives Of the Govern
ment will be present. Prayer will be Of
fered by Rev. B. f. Bellinger, D. D., and
Chairman of the Monument Committee,
will present the monument to the Ameri-
can Institute of Homeopathy. President
Walton will in turn present 1t to the
United States, which will accept it.
There will be addresses by the represent /
atives of the Government and an ode to
by DR.. William Todd Helmuth
will be read. The exercises will be brought
to close by the benediction.
