The tiered am- phitheater of the beautiful hall was filled with uniformed men, the green, blue and gold of the military surgeon’s fatigue array making a brilliant picture. The stage at the northern end of the hall was festooned with the national colors, forming an arch over its center, with flags trailed from the sides. Just above the keystone of this arch of bright colored bunting was the official badge of the association, its red cross, national shield and shoulder straps making a most striking effect. When the delegates tothe meeting began-to arrive in squads at Memv- rial Hall from their various hotels and stop- ping places they found everything completed for theirreception. At a little table in the corridor, facing the entrance, sat Surgeons J. T. Hereford, John B. Keber, Ohman- Dumesnil and J. W.

Atthe moment of the opening ofthe morning session -the hall was filled from the bottomtothetoptier of seats ar- ranged in a semi-circle, while on the stage were gathered the officers of the association, the speakers of the day and other celebrities of the ocCa- sion. There were also many ladies present in the audience, and anumber of jocal physicians not connected with the National Guard, their attendance having been especially requested by the associa- tion. THE SESSION OPENED. Just before il o’clock Lieut.-Col.

Francis was introduced to deliver the address of welcome on behalr of the Missouri National Guard. The speaker was received with prolonged-applause. He said: GOV. FRANCIS’ SPEECH. **LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—AS Commander: in Uhief of the National Guard of Missourrl am glad to be able to welcome to St. Louis the Association of Military Surgeons of the National Guard of the United states. The association, and the organization known as the National Guard, is one or the great- est importance and value to this country. The National Guard of this country has been organized and maintained in the faee of great difficulties and with innumerable ob- stacies constantly rising in its way. Kspecial- ly in St. Louis has this been the case during the nineteen or twenty years Of the existence of its National Guard. But you, entiemen, represent not only the jJational Guard, but also the medical pro- fession, and among your membership are gentlemen whose names are well known in the profession on both sides of the Atlantic. | lam giad to welcome you jin both capacities to the City of St. Louis and the State of Mis- sour!,.’’ 4 The speaker then reviewed the objects of the Association of Military Surgeons and Closed witha renewed cordial welcome to the delegates present. Dr. T. F. Prewitt was then introduced to speak in behalf of the medical profession of the State in welcoming the mnilitary surgeons to the city of St. Louls. Dr. Prewitt was re- ceived with great enthusiasm and sald: DR. PREWITT’S ADDRESS. ‘‘Gentlemen of the Association of Military Surgeons of the National Guard—As President of the State Meaical Society of Missourlitis a great pleasugye to me to welcome you brother members of the medical profession to St. Louls. And Ido so not witno the feel- ingthat you are strangers tothis city orto its medical citizenship. ‘*The profession of medicine recognizes no limitations of place in its brotherhood. Wherever one physician goes, there he is at home when he meets a brother physician, and it is with that spirit I welcome you to our. city. The value of the military organization of surgeons cannot be overestimated. As longas nations goto war; as long, indeed, as the millenium is postponed, there will be the necessity for military surgeons. And 1 wish youallthe heartiest welcome, both as membersof the medical profession and as surgeons ofthe National Guard, andlextend to you also my heartiest wishes for the success of your meet- sag. ’’. MAYOR NOONAN’S WELCOME. Mayor E. A. Noonan was next introduced to deliver the address of welcome in behalf of the city of 8t. Louls. The Mayor said: ‘*Ladies and Gentlemen, and Gentlemen of the Association of Military Surgeons—In say- ing that am pleased to welcome you to the city of St. Louis, I ex- press but faintly my feelings of cordial friendship toward you; in saying that the city of St. Louis appreciates your visit, Il ami equally unable to properly express the sentiment fitting to the occasion. You have not sent us thousands of visitors, have not thronged hotels or our streets. ] may be that your presence here will not be noted; that the masses of our people may not know you @re in our midst. ut with the importance of your profession and organization in view, wish you ali a cordial and hearty wel- come.’’ The Mayor then dwelt at length on the im- portance of the surgical profession and later on the selection of St. Louls, closing witha gecond welcome to the visiting delegates. COL. CHAS. R. GREENLEAF, U. 8. A. Representing the United States Army, Col, Chas. RK. Greenleaf, Assistant Medicai Pur- was then introduced by Vice- ce Col. Green- hat he n-General you our stated in d been detailed = the Association of Military Surgeons of the National Guard. The speaker then reada paper treating of the necessity of the National Guard surgeons familiarizing them- selves with their duties in the fleid. This was a duty of the utmost importance apd one that the surgeons of the regular army were watching with the greatest interest. The paper stated that two especially neces- sary things were practice in the camps of in- struction, and the establishment of officers’ schools of instructions. Only by close study in these schools could the military surgeons of the National Guard properly fit them- selves for their military duty. The study and establishment of ambulance services was also urged by the speaker, who stated that all these points would be made the subject of special army examination at the time of the great World’s Fair military gathering of 1893. Lieut. Angelo Festorazzi, N. G. of Ala- bama, then spoke in behalf of the associa- tion, thanking the preceding speakers for the warm and friendly welcome to the association extended to them. The minty ioe also returned special thanks to the representative of the regular army who had just concluded, and paid a high tribute tothe paper read by that gentleman. He then reviewed the work accomplished by the 38-year-old organization of military surgeons the National Guard and spoke of the great work still to be done. The speaker also alluded to the heroic work of military surgeons in the fleld, and said that the profession was as noble as any that could be named. And the present organization showed that in this country there was more Aa North or South; and thatthe ‘‘bloody shirt’’ was buried so deeply that it would never again see the lightof day. The speaker then closed with fervent thankstothe people of St. Louis, and especially to the medical fra- ternity. for the hospitable reception ex- tended. THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. The, President of the association, Gen. Nicholas Senn, National Guard Wisconsin, was then introduced and was received with greatapplause. Gen. Senn delivered a quiet but telling address, in which he reviewed the growth or the United Statesas a nation and pointed out the importance and value to such a nation of its National Guard, and the valueto the National Guard of awell organized association of military surgeons, With a standing army of only 25,- 000 menthe National Guard of the country must be looked to for thereal military de- fense of the country. And the citi- zen-soldiery had frequently shown their bravery and efficiency in trying moments. Of these State troops the medical department was a most important one, and of the 100,000 national guardsmen now enrolled in the various States there were 500 en- rolled surgeons. It was important that these 500 surgeons should so At themselves for their duties as to command that respect from line officers which they do not always command at present. The gen- eral government was doing everything to en- courage the military surgeons of the national guard, and it depended -alone upon this association to improve by it. The speakerthen treated what he designated as the important steps to be taken in the near future, urging especially the organization of associations ineach State, thestudy of camp- sanitation, litter-drill, ambulance-service, etc. He also urged advantages of competitive examination for appointment to posts as surgeons of the National Guard. This should be under charge of a Board of Examiners appointed from the Medical Board of the local National Guard. Such a system would greatly elevate the standing of the National Guard Medical Corps. The duties of camp life and of medical ser- vice in the field were next treated. Then the question of uniforms was taken up and the speaker urged the adoption of the uniform of surgeons of the reguiararmy. The change in the practice of Nelda surgeons, brought about by the great change in fire-arms and other weapons of late years, alsocame in for attention, ihen the orator urged the es- tablishment of a national military medical college on thesame idea as that of West Point for the instruction of officers, and also urged that such a national college for the regular army should be established either in St. JLouis or Chicago. AD International Association of Military Surgeons to hold its first meeting during the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893 was urged, and then the speaker closed with congratulations on the rapid growth of the association. in the regular order of business, Col, Chan- cellor theh read the report of the Committee of Arrangements, detaliing the plan of enter- tainment arranged for the delegates during their stay St. Louis, which has already published with the exception reception tendered the delegates by Dr. A. C. Bernays on Thursday, and a banquet atthe University Club on Wednesday, extended by Capt. Chas, Lb. Ewing, United states Army. The report of the Committee on Registration and of other committees was then read, and atlo’clock the meeting adjourned until 2:30 o’clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session the following papers were read: 1. *tihe Organization of the Medical De- partment of the National Guard,’’ Gen, Joseph D.

An Increase in the Demand for Money— Banking Funds. There has been a decided increase in activi- ty in the local stock market during the past week. For over two months past little has been doing, owing to the stagnant state of the New York market, and also owing to the fact that St. Louts holders have not been obliged to sell. An at- tempt ata bearraid, inaugurated late last week in New York, showedthe strength of the St. Louis market. Some stock came here from Chicago and Kansas Ulty, and was instantly purchased, and an advance in price has already yielded the St. Louls investors a good profit. The banks, while their loans are larger than usual, have more money on hand than is common at this season of the year, as depos- its run far above the usualamount. Cash can be obtained in large amounts at low interest from the local banks, but while the increase in discounts is not propor- tionate tothe increase in deposits, it ts sur- ficient to yield a handsome profit. The eas!. ness of money is not due to any falling off in the volume of business, but to the large addl- coor made to the floating capital of the city. he stagnation of stock speculation has cut off the borrowing demand in this direc- tion, but the recent revival has caused an in- crease in loans on stock security ,and a further growth inthis direction is looked for in the immediate future.

THE HUSBAND MAKES A COMPLETE SUR- RENDER TO HIS WIFE. He Withdraws His Cross-Bill and Allega- tions Against Her and Mrs. Gaines Is Given Her Separation, Custody of the Child and $50 a Month Alimony—No Testimony To-Day. William P. Gaines made overtures to his wife and her attorney before the Circuit Court opened this morning and the result was a compromise or rather a complete surrender Qn the part of the hus- band in the action for divorce brought by the wife. It was understood this morning that the taking of evidence in the Gaines case would continue as soon as court opened, but Mr, Dyer, representing Mrs. Gaines, and Col. Broadhead for the defendant, Mr. Gaines, called on Judge Withrow in his pri vate office before he ascended the bench and informed him that a com- promise would probably be effected within an hour. Another case was called, and whilea jury was being impaneled to try it, the lawyers of both parties and Mr. Gaines held a long whispered consultation in the hall out- side the court-room. Shortly after ll the lawyers appeared without Mr. Gaines, but with Mrs. Gaines, her sister and her father. Mr. Broadhead interrupted thecaseon trial to inform the court that he wished to withdraw all depositions, the cross bill and evi- dence introduced in the case by Mr. Gaines with the exception of the deposi- tions showing his pecuniary ability. Mr, Dyer entered his consent and Judge Withrow, alter learning that a decision was wanted, said: **Tf JUDGE WITHROW’S REMARKS. the answer and depositions and cross bill are withdrawn and the court is asked to decide on the evidence remaining, which is.allin favor of the plaintiff,the court thinks a prima lacia case has been made out bythe plaintiff. I will therefore grant Mrs. Gaines a decree of divorce, award her the custody of the minor child, and allow her $50 a month alimony until the court sees fittochange it. Mr. Gaines, the hus- band, and father of the child, will be per- mitted to see the child at frequent intervals. The time of these visits may be agreed upon by the parties interested.’’ Mrs. Gaines’ face beamed py smiles, and she left the bullding with her attorney apparently very well pleased. Mr. Dyer remarked after the settlement of the case that he granted not an Inch in the compromise. All con- cessions were made by the husband and the withdrawal of his cross-bill in which he made insinuations against his wife’s conduct Was to be taken as proof that they were false and could not be supported if brought out in the course of the trial. Attorneys Dyer and Broadhead agreed to draw up a form of decree satisfactory to both parties and left the court room. SOMETHING ABOUT THE CASE. Mrs. Gaines has been granteda decree on her allegations of incompatibility and indig- nities suffered atthe hands of her husband. She is the daughter of Capt. A. G. Evans, formerly a stock dealer in this city, and was married here to Col. Gaines in 15883. Soon after the marriage they went tolive in Texas. She lived there until 1888, when she returned to St. Louis to live with her father, She took herchild with her. Some months later Mr. Gaines came here and abducted the child from the Lindell Hotel. Hie took the boy to his home in Texas and Mrs. Gaines followed. She succeeded in regaining possession of her child and has had the custody of him ever since. Mr. Gaines, in his cross-bill and answer, made insinuations against his wife and her conduct at the hotel in El Paso, where they were boarding, buthe made no direct charges against her character, and the deposi- tions read in her behalf did not bear out the inferences in his cross-bill. It is understood he will return to Texas soon and make periodical visits tothe city to see his child, Where to Buy or Rent a Piano.

Two members of the Ship Ahoy Co., which is playing at the Grand Opera house this week, were married atthe old Cathedral on Walnut street at 11 o’clock this morning, by Rev. Father Coyle.

Dougherty of Balti- more and a very pretty blonde Known On the Stage as Miss Josie Hart, and in the world as Miss Hanna Jackson of Brooklyn. The happy event was postponed until the company reached st. Louls, because Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty are good Catholics and did not desire to be married in Lent.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 19.—There was an exciting scene during the Emancipation Day parade yesterday that was not down on the programme, and bloodshed was barely averted. As the procession turned into the avenue from Nineteenth street, northwest, a gun in the hands of one of the membersof the visiting Baltimore Rifles was fired, and for a few moments a small sized riot seemed imminent, because of the effarts of the police to arrest him. For a time the members of the company and the crowd on the streets prevented his arrest, and it was not untila patro! wagon arrived witha detail of officers that he and two other per- sons under arrest could be taken. Reverdy Johnson and John H. Coleman, both membDers of the Baltimore Rifles, were taken to the station, followed by an angry and threatening crowd of several hundred negroes. Coleman was charged with dlis- oe firearms in the street and when searched at the station a loaded five-barreled revolver was found on him. An additional charge of carrying concealed weapons was then entered against him and he was locked up. Great indignation is expressed over the conduct of the Baitimore company by the other organizations forming the parade, and it is probable that the matter will be called to the attention of the Governor of Maryland, as these militiamen violated the law in entering the District with loaded muskets.

Narrow Escape ofa Steamer From De- struction. PHILADELPHIA, April 19.—Capt. Newton of the steamship W. C. Mitchell reports that on Friday he experienced a heavy southerly gale, buton Saturday it moderated and the sea became calm. At 90’cloe¢kein the morn- ing there appeared onthe horizon objects which occasioned great curiosity. Some on board took ittobe a phantom ship, while others took it to be merely a cloud formation. The ship wasthen about 200 miles southeast of the Delaware capes, and the objects on the horizon drew nearer and nearer the ship, whenit was discovered that there werea number of water spouts following closely in each other’s wake. The noise created by the phenomena was deafening and the rush of water was greater by far than that: of Niagara Falls. Quickly seizing his glass Capt. Newton discovered the direction which the waterspouts were moving and realized the danger and altered his course to avoid being struck. Capt. New- ton says he never saw such large waterspouts before, and says the sight they presented as they passed the vessel was thrilling, huge bodies of water being carried in every direc: tion for miles around, THERE 1s both pleasureand fascination in doing a large washing when you are using Fairbank’s Olairette Soap.
