DEATH OF DR.. CHArMAN-Dr Nathaniel
Chapman, says the Philadelphia Courier, one
of the most celebrated physicians of the Uni.
ted States, died last evening, at his residence
in this city, at the advanced age Of IA years.
lie was was born in Virginia and received his
medical education in Edinburgh Having es-
tablished himself in the practice of medicine
in this city, he was in 1911 elected to the chair
Of Materia Mcdica, and in 1916 elected to
that Of Practice, in the Pennsylvania Universi-
ty. This latter post he filled until about three
years ago. since when, owing to the inirmities
pof age, he has lived in retiremeut. There have
been few more learned physicians, more sue
ces-ful lecturers, more accomplished scholars,
or more delightful companions than Dr.. Chap
man. His fame, in all these respects, has
been carried from this great centre of medical
education, to every part Of the land, and there
is scarcely Il physician in the United States that
cannot quote some wise say ing or witty anec.
dote of DR. Chapman. His death will be de-
plored by the profession at large, and especial
y by All extensive circein this city who en-
joyed his personal acquaintance, and were ia
milar with his many eminent professional and
social qualities.

WASTED SYMpArHY.-The New York Day
Book. in noticing tie numerous deaths in, that
city BY the oppressive heat of the weather, III
dulges in the following comments S,nson ap-
pears to enjoy lashing the Tribune and It's aboll-
ton courcress. More grease to his elbow:
1.-The Times announced Yesterday morning that
sixteen persons died suddenly the day before
from overwork and exhaustion. The Tribune
this morning says that the number was thirty
five. Only think Oft, thrty-fve laboring men
dropping down dead like over-workcd ho!ses in
the street
Suppose we should hear Of thirty-fvc, or even
the smaller number, sixteen negroes in the South
diving suddenly from exhaustion or overwork.-
Suppose the New Orleans papers. should an,
nounce that ten negroes had been worked to
death by their masters in the sun? What
tremendous hue and cry there would be raised
about it all through the North Every aboli-
ton paper North of Mason and DiXon's line
would have food for six months, and tic whole
world would resound with the cry Of cruelty to
the negroes and the inhumanty Of shareholders.
Another Uncle TOMS Cabin would be written,
and the authoress would travel with her balloons
and receive the distinguished homage of the
English nobility.
But such thing cannot be. No owner Of
slaves would permit them to work thcms les to
death in the hot sun. 1t is only the free labor
cr working for lis daily bread, that is pressed on
to such extremes. a man whose wife and chill
drcn at home are waiting hungry for the pro-
ceeds of his daily toll, in his desperation takes
the risk, pushes on, and dies with ovcrexertlon,
@, this free system is beautiful one for the poor;
they can do just as they please; no man has any
riclt to tell them what they shall or what they
shall not do they can work if they have mind
to, and they can play if they have mind to;
there is nothing to prevent them only certain
" of tarvation-that's all :"
