pnySlcIdHS we INSTANTLY ST Jp at the
name of DR.. George w. Cabaniss, as
perhaps the best type of our young |
professional brethren whose life will |

tale"
DR.. Cabaniss had not even the ad- |
vantage of birth in the District and |
we believe he cid not come to this
city from his Virginia home until
1886. He had previously served in a
responsible capacity-we think as SUI
perViSor-in the Central Lun2tic Asy-
lum at Richmond, Va, following a
term as police magistrate in his native
county.
1t was his earliest ambition to study
| and practice medicine and though
with much financial stress, he made his
way through Howard University and

J cOlored physicians residing in Wash,
has contributed and continues to con-
tribute more largely than any other
| similar institution to that end. Es-
pecially is the city rich in the high
attainments of its professional men.
Great successes have been achieved at
the bar. greater still we think, in med

every home, touches our tenderest
sensibilities and ministers to our ev-

quickly perceived in the careers of
those who began life with inherited
fortunes or influential friends, but
