the many medical practitioners every

quacks; and here is where the grea
difficulty in the suppression of the
quack imposition is met with. In the
first place not all who have diplomas
are physicians, nor all who lack di
plomas, quacks; a diploma being only
prime facie evidence of professional
learning. By the side of every one OF
our medical schools charlatanry has
reared temple to impudence; and it
is not improbable that as many men
are supplied with so.called diplomas
by these bogus institutions, as pass
successfully through the required
course of training and study at the
regular schools. Again great many
men pass an examination at the schools
who have not administrative ability
and tact to make their learning avail
able in a professional career; others
who have not graduated, having ma
i've ability and an adaptability to the
lealing art, enter the profession and
become successful practitioners, and
physicians. OF these two
classes the graduates arc quacks for

While the non-graduates judged by

A BURLEsQUE ELAINE.-The Virginia En-

In front Of the Delta saloon, C street, there
was yesterday on exhibition large photo
graph Of the genuine Elaine, and underneath
it caricature or burlesque Elaine. The lat
ter was pencil sketch showing boat. Of the
Elaine pattern, containing an old bum Of i'm
mense abdominal bonanza and nasal bulge.
The old fellow is evidently dead-drunk. He
is supposed to be seeing things" as dog sits
upon bis Mount Davidson stomach. which dog
has tail curled in many fantastic shapes and
ending in dart, like unto that with which
the caudal appendage Of bic Satanic majesty
il sometimes decorated by persons who think
it necessary to "adorn tail" when they wish
to point moral.'' The scenery along the
shore consists principally Of crop of unripe
Dutchmen, standing like young mushrooms in
the sedgy soil. A line below the picture reads.
And the dead-drunk, steerei BY the drunk,
went up to the Jug" The drunk who is
doing the steering appears to b. wholly alb
aorbed in that occupation. His nose is fixed
upon the mariners guide in the north. and it
il evident that naught save an odor Of rum,
waited by the breeze from one or the other
shore, could ever cause that aeedle to swerye
from its lode-star.

our oARp OF HEALTH,

We have advocated for the past few
days that our city authorities ought to
ascertain from the officers of the BOARD
of Health what amount Of money is re-
quired to put the city in a No. l condi-
ton Of cleanliness and to furnish the
necessary means for it. Either do this
or dissolve and abolish the sanitary
board. The yellow fever is on the
Southern coast, a few hundred miles be-
low US, and the proper time for Memphis
to prepare against Its attack upon her
people is while it is down on the coast.
The time to become alarmed is when the
disease is just where it is, and the time
to fix SO as to prevent its coming is now.
The proper parties to do the fixing
are the health officers, and they cant
unless the city supplies the money. We
say again, let them have the necessary
means.

NEW YORK.


NRwYoRE, April 5.-Professo Walker,
who died at his residence in Brooklyn
from effects Of poison, was a man Of
scrupulously methodical habits, and be-
ing instructed by his physicians Satur-
day to take certain doses as laid down
by Professor Harley of fluid extract Of
conium or hemlock, he procured an
ounce vial Of the medicine, and going
home he took it according to ~instruc-
tons, and calling his wife to his side he
dictated to her a description of his symp-
toms under the operation Of the drug.
This dictation of symptoms was his in.
variable habit when taking medicines
prescribed by physicians, or taken under
his W course of treatment, he having
at times been his own physician. The
dictation was begun at 4:l0, and was
closed as follows: AT Clio pm, nau-
sea, twitehings on right side, trouble to
a~rticulate, eyes closed, ~fullness almost
to suffocation in throat, pulse about CO."
At 6 pm. Mr.. Walker stopped and
asked for some water; Mrs. Walker
started to get some coffee, and had part
ly prepared it when, on returning to
the room to see her husband, she was
alarmed to find him unconscious. Ply
sicians were Immediately summoned and
arrived at the house at 7:3O, but the
Professor was then dead. Professor
Walker was a Past Grand Master in the
Masonic fraternity in Illinois.
A boy, eighteen years of age, was de-
tected in Poughkeepsie Saturday night
stealing FIVE dollars worth Of goods from
his employer. His parents made a set
Element, and soon afterward the boy was
discovered dead. In his trunk were
found letters showing that the goods had
been taken to satisfy the demands of a
blackmailer in Lowell, Massachusetts.
The beautiful weather this morning
and the fact that Monday is an idle day
with many and that many more can't
work were they willing because of the
dullness Of the season, together with.
the knowledge that Beecher would con-
tinue his testimony in the great scandal

A SWIFT WITNESS.

When q woman undertakes to tell her
age it is often remarkable what mistakes
she will commit and that these are always
on the youthful ride. Who ever heard
OF one calling herself tweRty-four when
she was only t%wenty-two1 Yet it is
nothing uncommon for one at the tender
age Of twenty FIVE to set herself down in
the teens. The family record in the bible
is rarely consulted after sweet sixteen.
Memory loves to revel a few years in the
past amid tender recolleetions, and goes
back with as much facility as a musician
runs his fingers down an octave or two
on a sweet-sounding instrument. This
is always the case, because the sex is
nearly young and cannot help telling
the truth about it, Now of all the wit
nesses in the Tilton VS.. Beeeher trial
Bessie Turner has proved the most YER
satile and fluent, except Beecher him
self. She talked like a dime novel and
the lawyers couldn't trap her. Her mem.
ory was perfect and her part had been
rehearsed until she could say it back
ward as well as forward. The defend
ants counsel, that is, the Beecher
side, considered her a trump
card that nothing could everyday.
She was a tender little thing, only
eighteen years of age, and was a mere
child when Tilton used to hang pictures
in his sleep all over the house four or
FIVE years ago, and sometimes carry her
out of her own room without disturbing
her sleep. OF course the Plymouth
Pharisees and Saducees synpathized
with her, and she was as famous as
Bescher or Moulton or any Of the rest
of them. But as a truthful witness she
has suddenly and unexpectedly been
~impeached. The gushing dsmsel has a
brother, unfortunately for her, in Jersey
City, and he does not hesitate to say
that her evidence was manufactured for
the occasion, and that she has lied; in.
stead Of being only eighteen she is
twenty-seven years old. She has also a
reputed father who was once her
mothers husband, but says that Bessie
has no right to his name. he states
that if the gentle lass lives until August,
1915, she will be twenty-eight years old.
Now, this is a very charming age for a
g~ood,looking young lady, and we cannot
see what prompted her to fb about
it. So, when Tilton took liberties with
the pictures of females dressed in sum
mer clothes and played Banquo's ghost
and raised the old Harry generally
o nights, Bessie was not such a wee bit
of a bread and butter perforator as she
would make the court believe. 1t is
plain enough that Bessie has cut her
eye-teeth, and knows more than many
who have graduated at higher schools.
She will be well qualified now to turn out
as lecturer or assistant editor Of Wood
hulrs Weekly, as her taste may incline
her. Perhaps no place within the in
Auence of Plymouth church could have
produced just such a parody on the gent
Ter sex bound in muslin and blpshes as
Bessie Turner. Her testimony reveals
phases of the upper-ten society in Brook
lyn which is fit to be read only to pro-
duce a revulsion and feeling of con-
tempt for the whole rotten crew.
