RESOLUTIONS.
Resolutions ON the Death OF DIR.
Christopher Tompkins.

At a meeting Of the faculty of the
Medical College of Virginia held 5uiy
%. 1915, the faculty learned with deep
regret Of the death OF DR. Christ opher
Tompkins, Emeritus Professor ana
former Dean Of the Medical College
of Virginia, The faculty adopted the
following resolutions and directed
copies TO be sent to the daily press,
TO the Virginia Medical Monthly and
to the family of Or. Tompkins:
WHEREAS, DR.. Christopher Tomp-
kins departed this life on July 20,
1918, after a long and useful medical
career in the city OF Richmond, and
WHEREAS. DR.. Tompkins was pro-
fessor Of Anatomy at the Medical Col
lege of Virginia from 1889 TO 1854.
professor of Obstetrics from 1854 to
1899 and dean of the College from
1893 to 1913, when the institution was
consolidated with the University Col
lege of Medicine, all of which posi-
tions he filled with distinguished
honor. therefore. be 1t
RESOLVED, That the faculty of the
Medical College of Virginia feel in the
death of DR.. Tempk!ns they have
sustained this loss of a valued friend.
that the city has lost an esteemed and
beloved citizen, and that an honored
of the old school has pass
ed from our midst DR., Ton7pkins
was ever ready to serve any who ap-
pealed to him and was always noted
for his high sense of integrity and
justice In all his dealings whether prf-
waite or connected with his college or
public duties. He bore no malice
or hatred In his heart toward his OPP
ponents his friendships were loyal,
deep seated and unseliish, he was be-
loved and almost idol!xed by his pa
tients and his private life was filed
with the spirit and practice of true
and with affectionate de-
votion to his family.
DR. Tompkins gave himself so I'M
sparingly and unselfishly to his college
duties and the demands of an
enormous general practice that his
health was seriously impaired the lat
ter years of his life, but he never lost
his interest in the college or in his
patients and retained their respect
and admiration until the last
His life stands ont SIS a conspicuous
example to all of those who desire to
honor the profession of the practice
of medicine, all Of those who are
willing to serve unseihshly their fell
low man, and all OF those who count
sincerity and integrity as two of the
highest human traits of character.
Be IL therefore further
RESOLVED. That the faculty OF
the Medical College of Virginia ex-
tend to the family Of DIR. Tompkins
their deep sympathy in this their
hour of bereavement

New ork, July 24.-There were VIC
lent changes IN the cotton market to-
day but after there had been sharp
losses late IN the session the tone i'm
proved. Trading early showed great
activity, but It fell of later July,
from which SO much had been expect
ed and which at one time recently
sold more than $50 points over octo-
Der, seemed to be absolutely without
buyers as 1t neared expiration and Its
premium over the fall month dropped

The market opened at an advance
Of IS to SO points on covering fol-
lowing yesterdays severe break After
selling at one time from 20 to so points

turned weak toward midday and led by
July, which broke to $3.50 or a drop of
100 points under the highest of the
morning sold off until new crop post
tions were from to rs points net
lower and so to 60 points down from
the highest after the opening. The
buying credited to japanese account
was one of the features OF the trade
here and it was estimated that their
purchases yesterday and today for for

hood OF 100000 bales. mostly October,

OF the forenoon. while October dropped
to ss.l5. or rs points net lower and so
points below the morning high.
A reaction developed in the late
afternoon, led by one of the spot firms
that had been a prominent seller early
in the week. The entire list firmed UP
sharply particularly the dista m I
months. which made net gains of over

markets acted as drag on the early

easy. The close was steady at a net
decline OF III points to an advance Of

The Tobsccos are acting well for
the plain reason that profits are grow
ing rapidly for all the companies, The
stocks would. no doubt, have been
much higher at this time had not the

Republic Iron and Steel in its report
Tor the June quarter shows earnings
for the account of the common stock
of only a.44 a share compared with

to the street. but the company has set
aside war taxes and in view Of the ex-
peetation that war taxes will be so

to assume that the company has set
aside that amount If so the report is
not a bad one. If the full SO per cent
has not been set aside the report is
not an honest one
Without any official statement to
Justify such an idea, the street is be-

THE RICHMOND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, JULY 25 1918
WALL Street CHEERED
AND MARKET IS BUSY

New York, July 24.--Beeision of the
crown prince to quit running away
and hght 1t out, now cheered Wall
Street today and gave better stock
market. The action Of Germany in
this particular is cheering because the
allies have proved themselves ready
for decisive action.
German morale has been found to
be very much weakened. 1t is be-
lieved now that as soon as American
aeroplanes begin dropping explosives
on Berlin and other leading German
cities In heavy volume, the whole Ger
man machine will go to pieces. This
is why many of the ablest banking
authorities and particularly invest
ment authorities believe this is the
time to accumulate high-grade secTi-
ties.
Those investors who sold stocks on
Monday and Tuesday thus turning
into cash the heroic conduct of Amer
lean troops on the Marine saw in to-
days market evidence that they had
made a mistake. Prices recovered
easily and offerings OF securities were
slight. Taxes and high money were
freely discussed today and it was gen.
orally admitted that nothing new was
likely to be brought out in connection
with either of these factors The only
reason for the slump Monday and
Tuesday was the unpatriotic advice to
take money advantage OF what Ameri-
can soldiers are doing in France. Pa
triotic investors are pleased that the
Stacker money of the country is out
of the stock market.
So bewildered did professionals be-
come that In an attempt to account
for the strength of the market they In
vented another Du Pont story. This
time they havs the Du Points buying

Such widespread interest is being
taken in the Red Cross classes that are
being conducted at the Young Women Is
Christian Association that il has been
necessary to organize twice as many
as il was originally planned to give.
Women are Interested in subjects
relating to health that many are TAX
ing not only the class In first n id to the
injured. but also the one in elementary
hygiene and home care Of the sick
The third class I'm this latter subjc It
will begin Monday morning, a, 10
o'clock. to meet Mondays and Thurs
days from 10 TO 80 O'Clock with Mrs.
Moss az the Instructor. She is the Red
Cross nurse who teaches the other two
classes in this same sIbject. The cias.;
Is practical as we'll as theoretical in
its intruction and will prove OF great
value to those who take the course.
Nursing in the home is the feature
most strongly emphasized. especially
since the trend of the time is TO re-
lease trained nurses for the most i'm :
oortant work and for the care OF the
soldiers. The greater number OF women
who have registered in the classes arc
pursuing the course OF instruction with
the home care Of the sick in view. There
may be other nec6s for these nurs=.,
