IN ITS NEW QUARTERS
EASTERN DISPENSARY AND CAS-
UALTY HOSPITAL.
Isaiah Gray First Patient Treated in
Building on Massachusetts,
Avenue Northeast.

Isaiah Gray of 1887 Erie street was the
first patient to be treated in the new home
of the Casualty Hospital and Eastern Dis
pensary. Yesterday was moving day for
the doctors nurses and others who are in
charge of the important work of the inst-
tuition. The work was commenced early in
the morning, and Gray was treated In the
new home, on Massachusetts avenue be-
tween 7th and 9Th streets, before night, for
an attack of acute indigestion. He soon re-
covered.
The new building, as heretofore stated,
was the former home of B. F. Leighton,
and was the scene of many brilliant gath
erings. Because of the many improvements
and additions to the structure 1t is well ar
ranged for hospital work, and the people or
Washington are pleased that they have
such an institution in their midst. The
present location of the building will mean
that a great amount of good will be accom-
plished, because the long runs to other his
pitfalls from the eastern section will be
avoided in the future. The elegantly equip
ped ambulance has arrived but will not be
in service for few days, as there has been
no horse yet purchased A pleasing part of
the hospital work will be the keeping of
dispensary patients from the main building
There is smaller building on the grounds
which is to be used for this purpose. There
will be meeting of the board of managers
held at the hospital tonight, and matters of
general interest will be discussed. 1t is
also likely that the board will make ar
engagements for a public opening of the in
stitution in order that its patrons may be
given an idea of the amount and character
of the work that is accomplished

of the city. They sought aid from others |
and organized board of directors, with
