DID ARMY SERVICE.
Sister Alice, of Washington, New Head
of Bridgeport Hospital.

Sister Alice (Gannon) of Washington.
D. c., who succeeds Sister Laura as
superintendent of St. Vincent's hos
pital, Bridgeport, is familiar with the
work there, having been so closely
identified with Sister Laura so that the
change will in no wise effect the con-
tinued prosperity Of the institution.
Like her predecessor, she is Of fine ex-
ecutive ability and her extended train
ing. as assistant to Sister Laura pecu-
liarly fits her for the task which de-
wolves upon her.
Sister Alice is one Of a number of
the sisters of the order who has spent
years in army hospital service. At the
time of the Spanish-American war
when the call was issued for nurses to
take charge of the fever infected SOL
diers returning from the torrid climate.
she was one of the first to volunteer,
and she administered with rare forth
tude and fidelity as a nurse till the
close of the war, when the service was
discontinued.
Sister Laura was native of Gettys-
burg. Pa. Her father was named Eek
enrode, and at an early age she was
attracted to the work of the sisters of
charity among the poor, and she re-
solved to join the order and devote her
life to nursing the I'll and afflicted. She
was plendidly educated and her mark
ed capacity for business affairs won
for her many well merited promotions.
