BENJAMIN RUSH, DOCTOR,
PATRIOT, LIVES IN BRONZ

surgeon to the navy Of Pennsylvania,
surgeon of military hospitals, and sur
geon general and physician general of
the Continental army. For these ser
vices he refused pay. At :he close of
the war he served as a member Of the
Pennsylvania convention which ratified
the Federal Constitution. These same
principles led him to serve during the
last fourteen years Of his lie as treas
urer of the mint, vice president Of the
Bible Society, and president of the So-
ciety for the Abolition of Slavery.
Public Educator.
The whole field of public education in
Pennsylvania felt the impress of mis-
mind. AS an instructor In the medical
college of Philadelphia he took part In
the organization Of the University Of
Pennsylvania, and subsequently held the
chair of the theory and practice Of
medicine He was a founder OF Dick
inson College at Carlisle, Pa. And all
American medical schools of that day
made use OF text books from his pen.
In medicine his memory is especially
revered for two things-the foundation
of the first dispensary in the country.
which he effected in Philadelphia In 1855
OF treating yellow fever. While in Paris
his attention was directed particularly
TO this disease by the epidemic of 176Z.
and his note book. which he continued
throughout his life time. is the only &C
curate record OF that event now eX-
tant. He obtained his theory as to yell
low fever from manuscript written by
Dr. John Mitchell, OF Urbana. Va
which led DR.. Rush to the discovery
that the disease was indigenous and non
contagious. His treatment consisted Of
purging and bleeding. Over 5000 per-
sons in the yellow fever season of 1893
accredited the saving Of their lives to
him, and in the course of that panic
he was forced to drive past patients
who endeavOred to stop his carriage on
the streets while ne proceeded from
one improved hospital TO another. His
visits were sometimes more than 100 a
day. His departure from the accepted
practice as to yellow fever provoked
violent attack in print from one W.
Goblet, and Dr. Rush replied by OBJ
tanning 5000 damages at law.

today, PLAT told his story in a straight
forward manner. For a man Of his years
his mind was quite clear. and his man

fancy that made him such a pitiable
spectacle on the witness stand.
His manner had changed much be

when he was called In court.

BAL IMORE FIRM
CONTESTS AWARD
Claims Contract in District
Building Work.
1T IS NOT SUBSTANTlATED
Engineer Commissioner Grants Hearing,
But Decides That New York Com
Pany Shall Have Job.

n new complication was discovered
yesterday ia the matter of awarding the
contract for laying the foundations OF
the new Municipal Building. Attorneys
Lambert & Baker. notified the Eugi-
neer Commissioner that they considered
their clients. Patterson q thurman. Of
Baltimore. entitled 10 the contract. in
stead of the \. b. Stannard COMPANY. of
New York. Colonel Biddle denied the
calm.
The stand that Patterson & Truman
are entitled TO the contract was based
on the fact that they made che lowest
bid on the actual work OF lxcavatiug
and providing the foundations Of tie
structure. fIhe communication from
Lambert & Baker to Engineer Com
missioner Biodle said that on this part
of the work Patterson * Truman bid
$lbS,OO0, as opposed 10 Stannurd bid OF
SlIl,Ocj for the same amount of Work.
The Subordinate Bids.
The other subordinate bids. such as
the ones for piling ana capstones. the
attorneys claim. were intended. accord
ing TO the Instructions from the Ensi-
ncer Department. to be only apprCxi-
mate. This. they say. was done by
their clients. these approximate bids
having been made upon the approxi-
nations as to the amount required for
mulated by the District authorities"
IN view Of the fact, therefore. that the
contract. according TO the claim Of
Lambert < Baker, rested on the figures
for the actual excavations and founda-
tons, without the cost Of the piling and
caRstones, vigorous protest was made
against the contract being awarded to
A. 3. Stannard.
A Hearing Granted.
A hearing was granted to Lambert 6.
Baker by Colonel Biddle, so that they
might be able 10 more fully explain
their claim. which came as a great sur
prise 10 the District authorities 1t will
be remembered that the failure of Nor
cross Bros. TO inclose with their IA
the required certified check made them
lose the contract for the work the re-
suit being a loss OF over $1,000, il was

II the claim Of Patterson & Thurman

accruing from the protest would have
been on the side Of the District.
