DENY H STORY
sisters Of Fanny Allen Arc Not to Es.
tnbIish Malone Hospital.

The Malone. IN. Y.,) Telegram of Tues
day stated that IL was probable that "A
branch hospital would be established in
that city by the sisters of the Fanny
Allen hospital in this city. lie Sister
Superior stated last evening to the Free
Press that the story was without founda-
ton and that she had heard nothing of
the intention Of the Sisters of establish
ing such a hospital IN Malone,
The Telegram said:
at an informal meeting held at the
home of Dr.. S. d. Williamson on Aug
ust II the physicians OF Malone passed
a resolution which stated that We. the
physicians of Malone, have decided that
we cordially approve of the Sisters of
the Fanny Allen. hospital of Burlington
establishing a hospital here at Malone,
and We pledge our professional assistance
and support in case they do decide to do
so. We earnestly recommend that the Ma
lone Hospital association extend to the
Sisters an invitation to come to Malone
and tina they further assure them OF
their hearty cooperation in the establish
mcnt of a hospital here.
"The Malone hospital association has
called a special meeting to be held at
the Howard House parlors, Friday even
ing to take some action on the PROPOSE
ton to found a Malone hospital under
the supervision of the Fanny Allen hos
pital of Burlington, VI.
1T is said that a suitable site is un-
der consideration and II Is probable
that there will be sufficient encourage
ment to warrant the establishment OF
the hospital in the very near future"
The Sisters can account for the state
mcnt of physicians in no other way
than that the suggestion of the found
ing OF such a hospital came from Malone
sources, for the subject has not beer
preached by the Sisters here.
