SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1901.
A CHANGE At FREEDMENS HOSPITAL.

DIR. William A. Warfeld, of Mary
land, has succeeded DIR. A. M. Curtis
as Eurgeon-in- Chief at Freedmen's
Hospital. Naturally, the friends of
DIR. Curtis deeply regret the circum-
stances leading up to his resignation,
and are disappointed because of his
failure to SECURE the vindieatiOn that
reinstatement would have brought
DIR. Curtis has been guilty of no inten-
tional wrongdOing, and in leaving the
position, he carries no s. ain upon bis
st ,rling reputation as a man and a
capable physician, The defeat OF DR.
e. B. Purvis, after a gallant Il ght, was
what might have been expected. There
are potent reasons for the Impression
that DR.. Purvis is not as close to the
race as he might be, and since the place
allotted to the Negro, it ought to go TO
the worthiest Negro who is not ashamed
to acknowledge his Identification with
bis people. DIR. Purvis has had his
chance at Freedmen's and has no reas
enable ground for complaint in not be-
ing recalled. His reputation has been
made, and his means are ample. These
considerations, it is alleged, operated
strongly to prevent DR.. Purvis' sue
Css.
Or. Warfeld is young man oi ex
cellent pats, a skilled surgeon, indus
trious, ambitious and painstaking. He
is familiar with all the details OF the
work at the Hospital by reason OF his
long and efficient service as ASST tant,
and his elevation came as logical
promotion. It is thoroughly in line
with President Rooseve.t's we'll known
attitude upon civil service reform aid
advancement upon the ground of
merit. The CoIOred American of re-
cent date contained a very interesting
account of the life of DIR. War6eld,
which can now be read to advantage,
The appointment gives satisfaction
and his past record is a guaral e that
the instl. ution will be kept up to the
high standard maintained by his pre-
decess ors. The office pays So, 900 per
annum.
Dr.. J. W. Mitchell has been named
