nounced Yesterday that his hospital probably to-
day would have at it's command well equipped

Edward GiIon. collector of the Bureau or Assess

that have been made In connection with the defal-
cations OF Charles P Chipp and Edward l.. Taylor.
Gilon's administration of the Bureau OF Assess
ments and Arrears has been unsatisfactory to the
Controller More than year ago Mr. Coler asked
Gon for his resignation. but the latter refused to
resign on the ground that he was veteran OF the
Civil War and therefore doubly protected by the
Civil Service law. The Controller found that IL
was impossible to him from office excepting
under charges 1t is said that Mr.. Coler was de-
srous Of instituting a system OF bookkeeping.

department Controller Coler was asked last night
II he would again ask for Gilon's resignation

RICAN WOMEN.

There IS exhibition in this city a portrait
Of George Washington. done in medium that
seems unsuited TO portraitlre as anything well
could be; yet the picture IS generally thought to be
a steel engraving. In point of fact il is needle
work but with the black and white stitches so

craving Is simulated and fine are they that
hardly can q stitch be discerned even with MI

Miss Davila is a Porto Rican, who showed that
the women of Our new possessions" are ready TO
emulate their American sisters by her enterprise in
bringing q number of specimens Of her needlework
for exhibition at Buffalo This she did on her own
responsibility Independent Of the official Porto
Rican exhibitors.
The Washington portrait IS wrought on a shield
zraped ground of white satin. This is mounted on
the American flag. made Of red and white satin
blue satin with the stars embroidered upon it. The
flag is attached to q gilt staff. with heavy gilt
cord and tasses, and is mounted in graceful folds
and the whole framed.
