ELEGANTLY EQUIPPED OFFICE

The reporter for the INDEPENDENT, while on his usual rounds "Wednesday morning visited the office rooms of our new physician, Dr. B. A. Wash burn, in the new Watson building. They were found to be so elegantly equipped for the practice of medicine and surgery, that the temptation to in a brief way attempt their description proved irresistible.
 Dr. Washburn enjoys a novel ex- perience for a young man, that of being able to handsomely and ade- quately equip an office with a. Il kinds of medical and surgical instruments and appliances, without passing through what is known as the starva- ton period in the requirement of a practice.
 Dr. Washburn is originally from Wickliffe, Kentucky, though he has had several years experience in St. Louis hospitals and sanitariums, since graduating from the medical college. He is the inventor of Matoid drill for the cutting of the skull bone and has also just received letters of patent for medicine applicator. Being of an industrious turn of mind and thoroughly interested in his profess ion, he is now at work on two other inventions for which he hopes to se- cure patents. Besides this he is a member of the editorial staff of the Medical Era and contributes to the Medical Summary, ,-such is the re- cognition paid his opinion by leading medical journals.
 His office rooms, consisting of oper- ating, waiting and consultation rooms are handsomely furnished. In his private office and consultation room, he has large library in a beautiful mahogany cabinet and the waiting room too is nicely furnished.
 But the most interesting of all is the operating room, where an instrument case made to order and filled with shelves of all kinds of instruments for use in general surgery and treatment of the ear, nose and throat, first meets the eye.
 Another object of interest is the ear machine, by which light can be thrown beyond the ear drum, also machine for wrapping bandages.
 A swinging splint hangs from the ceiling worked by pulley, to be used for broken leg, enabling the patient to turn over or sit up in any position without hurting the injured member.
 Among other objects of our atten- tion were a nose and throat machine for introducing medicine into the nasal track and throat; and electric batteries, with continuous and faradie currents Gor the. treatment of de- formed persons.
 In fact, the whole office is neatly and splendidly equipped and Dr Washburn an affable and interesting gentleman, who inspires the confi- dence of those who have met him. ~->->----

Honor to Mrs Cotton.

Washington. d. c., March 1.-(Special)
Mrs r. r. Cotton, who has been here
in attendance upon the Mothers Con-
gress, of which she is a leading spirit,
has been the recipient of many social
courtesies. Writing of the promotion
given her, the Washington Star says:
Mrs. Robert Gotten, of North Carolina,
who has. been so long the corresponding
secretary, has now been elected first vice
president, and she brings to the office the
ripened judgment of years spent in deeds
OF love for suffering and unfortunate HUI
mainly. Mrs. Gotten has a name as Z
writer of books and short stories, and is
editor of the organ of the Mothers Con-
gress. She belongs to the old-time South
ern type of women, speaking with the
quaintness Of voice and infection that is
rarely heard now, and which is very fas-
cinating when the speaker is beautiful
woman, whose culture and refinement are
self-evident. Mrs. Gotten makes friends
everywhere, and having executive ability
of rare order, and a wide experience
in the organization of clubs, it is thought
she will bring to the cabinet of the ma
tional president exactly the qualities that
will make her an invaluable aid in prose-
cutting the work"

to make Shakespeare and Sheridan as
popular with the masses of theatre

literature deserve to be. In this aim
Mr.. MacLean and Miss Tyler have met
with remarkable success, which is due
in great degree to their own merits as

eigh, Will Produce THE Rivals"

The Dramatic Club Of the A. and M
College will on March 31st, Easter Mon
day. present to a Raleigh audience Ihe
Rivals" The club will be assisted by
some of the young ladies of Raleigh, and
everything looks to a brilliant success.
Sheridans immortal play, 1.-The Rivals

has been 127 years since it was first pro-
duced Many of the greatest English and

the cast, among whom may be included
Joseph Jefferson, Nat. c. Goodwin, VIM.
H. GRANGE, Robert Taber, Frances Wilson,
E. M. and Joseph Holland, Mrs. John
Drew, Fannie Rice, Julia Marlowe and
others.
The Rivals carries an interesting plot
throughout, and holds the audience until
the curtain drops with the last act.
One never grows tired of the eccentric
Bob, or the sly Sir Lucius OTrigger.
Mrs Madlaprop. with her fine derange-
ment of epitaphs,' keeps the audience in
an uproar from the time she enters on
the stage until she has her final words
with Sir Lucius.
Sir Anthony Absolute is a circus in
himself. one only has to hear him speak
to catch tn 'humor of the occasion" and
stay with him until he sees his son. Capt.
Jack, united with Miss Lydia, the very
sweet lady that the latter had been PLAN
ming to elope with. Fag, the polished and
courtly serving man, Falkland, the de-
jected lover, and Julia, his love, all come
in for their share of Importance and in
terest One of the most enjoyable parts
of the play is that of Lucy, the pretty and
coquetish little maid to Lydia
The play has stood the test for CEN
fury and more, and is always the favorite
for professional and amateur work.
There is scarcely a college dramatic
club that has not presented this refresh
ing and delightful play. The A. and M.
Dramatic Club is fortunate in it's selec-
tion of THE Rivals" which they will
present to Raleigh audience March 31st,
or the night of Easter Monday. The club
is assisted by some of the young ladies'
of Raleigh, and all are earnest in giving
an artistic production of this excellent
play.
The Dramatic Club is under the per-
sonal direction of DR.. Burkett, who has
for years been engaged in dramatic
work and who is much interested in the
fine performance the young women and
men are going to give Easter Monday in
this city. The Academy of Music has been
engaged for that night and doubtless a
delightful evening is in store for the
theater-loving people of Raleigh.
The costumes that will be used will
be furnished by a New York house, and
will be the same as used by the Jefferson
Company.
All the little details of the performance
are being carefully considered, and in
every sense we are assured most de-
lightful and successful presentation OF
this good play.
