The story OF the lifework of this
great physician has been often told,
and Is familiar to most readers.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connectl-
cut, and graduated from the military
school at Norwich, VT. He studied
medicine with Prof Nathan Smith, OF
New Haven, Conn, and graduated in
medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence. First he
was elected to the professorship Of
anatomy and surgery in the Vermont
university. Next he was appointed
lecturer on materia medica and med
ical botany in Dartmouth college. The
next year he was chosen professor OF
the chair then vacated by Prof. Robby,
and occupied the chair. the most im-
portant one in the country. at the
time when he first formulated his
most remarkable prescription.

when the daughter newly adopted into

It was to Mrs. Hendrick, too, that
the little ones cried for redress for real
or fancied wrongs, and they knew
Alright that they might trust their
cause to that kind face and tender
heart.
Now in failing health, she relin-
duishes the burden to younger shoul-
ders, but It Is with regret that her CO.
workers lose the familiar figure from
their midst and the wise counsel.
Mrs. Daniel Langstaff is another
who will be greatly missed. Not so
much age nor ill-health causes her to
give up the interests of "a score OF
years, but residence at Factoryville
removes her so far from the city that
she feels the care burdensome. The
stately, handsome personality of Mrs.
Langstaff. with her CHEEKY words and
unfailing good humor, Is something for
the managers to remember with pleas
ure and a sense of unmistakable loss.
She was so reliable, so true and sem
sible that her place is not easily filed.
At Christmas time it was always MIS-.

The resignation yesterday of two
members from the board of managers
of the Home for the Friendless recalls
to the minds of those who have long
been interested in that institution the
fact that time, surely and sadly, saps
the activities of even the most alert
and capable, and that our places must
be filled sooner or later as the work
drops from our tired fingers.
Mrs. Hendrick is one of the oldest
members in point of service on the
board. For many years she did what
must be considered the most arduous
and wearisome task, that of investi-
eating homes where children were
sent and looking after the welfare of
those indentured. Conscientious, faith
full and unshrinking in the duties
which were often the reverse of agree
| able, she kept in touch with hundreds
