ONE SOCIETY DISBANDS

| At the regular monthly meeting of the
German Hospital and Dispensary Fund
Association at Columbia Hall last night,
! a surprise was furnished by communi-
cation from Ladies' Aid Society, section
No. 2, announcing its disbandment. Fol-
lowing is the official notice of disband-
ment:-
This is to notify all members and
! whom it may concern, that at a spec
| ial meeting of Ladies' Aid Society NO.
| 2, held February 81 that on a motion
! it was resolved to pay all fundS on
! hand to the Hospital Association ana
| formally disband forever.
| Thus ends the long continued strife be-
tween Ladies' Aid Society No. 1 and La
dies Aid Society No. g. The society gave
no reason for its action, thinking perhaps
| that everyone would understand.
The Board of Directors accepted the
cash and the resignation without COM
ment.
The trouble among the ladies dates back
one year, when there was only one Aid
Society. At the annual election Mrs. Stoe-
sci was defeated for the presidency, she
claimed unfairly, by Mrs. William
Blumlein. A bitter dispute followed
which naturally resulted in a split. A
new society was organized under the title
of Ladies' Aid No. 2, the original being
known as No l. Mrs. Stoesel was elected
president of the new society.
From that time bitter war was re-
lentlessly waged between the two
auxiliary societies, which gave rise to
numerous complications. To create a SEM
blance of harmony the diplomatic quali-
ties of the Board of Directors were taxed
to the utmost. For time the Board
of Directors was shaken by diss ssension,
owing to the fact that it comprised
champions of both sections in the person
of husbands AT recent election the
most obstreperous kickers were quietly
dropped from the Board
1t is claimed that the new Board of
Directors favored Ladies Aid No. ],
fact displeasing to the newer society. AS
a result it became inactive and paid more
attention to it's own little social affairs
than to the raising of funds for the hos
pital project firing of the fray, the con-
tinued warfare and feeling unable to cope
with the Board of Directors and Society
No. 1 No. decided to renounce the
charitable enterprise and disband.
While perhaps in the future harmony
will exist, it is certain that the hospital
fund will increase more slowly than be-
fore.
At the meeting last night it was an.
nounced that arrangements were being
made for a concer- 10 be held at Pohl-
mann's Hall. March 25. For this event
excellent professional talent will be pro-
cured. Mr.. Joseph Bernstein viii act as
chairman of the arrangement committee.
Secretary Frey announced his resigna-
ton last night, owing to his intended re-
moval from the city. First Vice Presi-
dent William Blumlein was elected to his
place. Mr.. Joseph Abel was elected to
fill Mr.. Blumlein's former position.
Treasurer William Lange reported that
the hospital fund aggregated nearly $1,000.
1t was announced that the annual picnic
would be held July 4, at the Greenville
Schuetzen Park.
