Physicians as Special Committee
DR.. D. Percy Hickling, chairman of the
medical committee, has named the follow
| ing physicians as a special committee on
| medical supplies for the encampment: DIR.
| F. V. BroOkes, chairman, DR.. Ernest King
| and DR.. f. B. Poole. These gentlemen in
| tend to write the more prominent manufact-
| uring chemists and druggists of the country
and ask them to contribute, free of charge
| the medical supplies needed for the encamp-
| ment hospital. This course followed
! ten years ago and the result was most
gratifying.
| DIR. Brookes called at headquarters this
morning and conferred at some length with
Secretary Barry Buckley. During. the 1890
| encampment, said DR.. Brookes the medical
equipment was planned on rather an ex-
tended scale, but was found to be not more
| than adequate to the occasion. After the
parade the surgeons on duty at the hospital
worked all night long reviving and caring
for veterans who had found the march
more than their physique could endure.
With ten years added to the ages of the
veterans it is feared the need for medical
care will be greater this year than former
ly. The committee desires, therefore, to
provide the fullest possible equipment and
be prepared to care for every old soldier
who may need medical assistance.
Among the applications for quarters re-
ceived Yesterday evening by the committee
on public comfort were the following
From Colonel o. H. R!ppey's Post, No. A.
Philadelphia, for sixty members; from he
Grand Army Post of Uniontown, Pa, for
an indefinite number of veterans, accom-
panied by veteran band made up entirely
of men who served at the front and who
will be attired they were during the
war of the rebellion

ceeding splendidly. Already Mr.. o. j. Rick
etts, private secretary to the public printer

Plans for the entertainment of visiting
survivors of Shields division were made
last night al headquarters by the veterans
of that command who now reside in Wash
| ington. General w S. Odell presided. Sew
eral of those present indicated their belief
| based on correspondence with other surviv-
| ors of Shields division, that the attendant
| at the encampment will be very large. The
next meeting of this body will be held July
! 16.
