Revolt Of ~ Catholic Congregation
Priest.
BALTIMORE, August 2i.-Father Jeg-
gel was arrested for assault and battery,
for ejecting Vincent Hagerman from
the Catholic church of which Hager-
man was member. A benevolent So
ciety called the Knights of st. George,
had picnic, and allowed dancing.
Father Jeggel attempted to prevent
the dancing, protesting, on his right
as priest, to interfere. The society,
by thirty-two majority, declared the
body independent of the control of the
priest, and Hagerman voted with the
majority. Jeggel was held in two hun
dred dollars bail, and will have hear

The Doctors and the NcWSpa'
nnFS,

We recently referred to the interesting
Medical imbroglio at Evansville, In.
diana, where the fNculty disciplined one
Of the profession for unproiessional con-
duct in the matter Of advertising his
special points rs n physician in the news
papers. The disciplined Esculapian did
not take kindly to the attention thus puid
him by the brethren, but shook of the
dust Of his feet against them in u way
that attracted general attention.
Whether the occurrence at Evansville was
the cause Of a somewhat similar. protest
against the ethical rule, out in Iowa, Is
not clearly shown, but at ali events the
question Of newspaper advertising came
up before the faculty out there a
few days ago, Dr., Field read
paper before the State Medical Society
entitled "The Doctors and the NewSpa-
pors," on the uniairness Of the ethical
rule which forbids physicians to use the
newspapers as advertising agencies, to
make themselves known to the public,
and which abaudons this powerful means
to the quacks. According 10 the Cincin.
natl Ga.elte, he argued that It was time to
give up this practice and engage the ser.
vice Of the newspaper for the real ply.
sician. He made some Rllusion to the
way that doctors who had gotten into
practice advertised Themselves invarious
ways.
IIr argued that the rule which forbids
square advertising ties up the young
physician and postpones all success and
settlement in life to q late period; that 1t
impedes the usefulness Of the profession
and detracts from lie power, whereby
more than half the money spent for med.
ical aid goes outside the profession
through the influence Of the newspaper ;
that IL Is contrary to the spirit Of the age,
is a part Of the fogyism Of the past, and
should go where bleeding, bliSteripg and
other mulprOctices have gone.
Without doubt, says the Gazette, Dr..
Field reasons WE'LL but young doctors are
modest, and the old ones control the aca.
denies and make professional ethics.
BOYS who shoot squirrels, observe IN the
Young males evidence Of remarkable
foretRought to prevent them from 3ecom.

sagacity is seen in the old doctors, In a
code Of professional ethics, in the matters
of fees and advertising, which puts the
