Grand Hotel, Rhode Island at the Gibson, and Maine probably at the Grand

Proceedings are about to be begun with the object of destroying the trade in bogus medical diplomas which, has so long been a disgrace to Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania The city editor of the Phila- deIphia Record has been active in ferreting out those engaged in the fraud, and has pre- pared evidence which, it is said, shows the sales of forty-two diplomas to various per sons. The Record man himself for $75 ob- tained three medical diplomas, one from the Eclectic Medical College of Pennsylvania, a regularly chartered institution one from the American University, of Philadelphia, and another from the National Eclectic Medical Association. One feature of the proceeding is that while the last-named concern was organized in 1879, its diploma to the newspaper man is dated 1878. All purported to show that the newspaper man, under the name of Dr. John Tanning, of Tip pecanoe City, Ohio, had studied medicine for three years, had attended two full courses of lectures, and had passed satisfactory ex- animation in each of the seven branches of medicine. Not satisfied with this evidence, he sent letters under the name of Dr. George A. Dawson, apparently belonging to Chester Court House, South Carolina, asking for de- grees. For $150 he obtained five degrees, two of Doctor of Medicine, one Doctor of Divinity, one Doctor of Laws, and one Doc tor of Civil Law. Several arrests have been made, and it is expected that five bogus med ical colleges will be wiped out. It doesn't speak very well for the Pennsylvania authori- ties that they have waited to be pushed up to their duty in this matter, as it seems they have been by the Record man.

 Prepared to give his personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and Diseases of the Throat, Lungs and Ner- vous System.
 For upward of twenty five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of those important ailments, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which attended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, renderingtreat- ment so efectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success.
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. Lghthill takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office

The Grays' Dissertation.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Although you publish this morning two communications in answer to previous one signed ID. A." please grant me the favor of a few lines upon the same subject. The character of the proposed ceremony is at once simple and beautiful floral tribute to the memory of those who, without hesita- tion or dallying, without considering the question of policy or politics, seeing their flag insulted, the safety and prosperity of this Government threatened, went forth cheerfully from pleasant, and in many cases luxurious homes, to undergo probable fa- tigues, privations, imprisonments, sudden and sometimes terribly painful and lingering deaths from wounds and starvation. @ The youngest, the most generous of our youth pressed eagerly forward for the patriot s crown, and how many of them were deemed worthy of it let the countless graves all over our land speak. Is it a dissertation of a ''holy'' day to honor martyrs? If so, then let the records of those who died for religion, for humanity, for country, for liberty of conscience and of speech be forever plotted out from history. It is significant and sor- ry commentary upon the religious sensitive ness of those who demur to the Sunday rec ognition of the services of those who yielded up the glorious beauty of their young lives for the welfare of their country, that they uttered no protest against the dissertation on the occasion of a late Sunday lecture direct ed against the very religion which gives us that holy day I have read somewhere that the early Christians were Wont to visit each Sabbath the resting places of those of their companions who had sealed their faith with their blood. In imitation of their example we propose to visit the graves of our depart ed comrades, who similarly have given their lives for freedom and country and should future generations forget the story whose beauty we now commemorate, then will shadowy forms assemble, ever and anoh, about their forgotten mounds, and there will
 With unseen hands their kne1 be rung,
 By unseen forms their dirge be sung;
 There honor come, pilgrim gray,
 To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
 And freedom shall awhile repair
 To dwell weeping hermit there

A Woman's Age.

A case has just been decided before the Ap- peal Court at Metz, which shows how a lady's age is matter entirely within her own con trol Frauliene Catherine Mahl was engaged to desirable partner, to whom she had inn prudently declared her age at six years less than it really was. As soon as the moment arrived for producing the certificate of birth, she was aware that her little deception would be discovered, and she feared that the match would be broken off. She therefore took the liberty of altering the official document, so as to make it correspond with the state ment already made. The ceremony took place, and the husband was duly united to a lady whom he believed to be quite jeune ingenue Unfortunately the certificate. in passing through some office, happened to be minutely examined by one of the clerks. The bride was charged with the offence of falsifying Q public document, and condemned to spend, If not her honeymoon, at least three of the first months of her married life in prison. She had the courage to appeal from the sentence, and cause the case to be argued before the court at Metz, which reversed the decision of the inferior tribunal, and acquitted the lady on the ground that she did not intend to commit an illegal act, but had been actuated only by female vanity"

From Notes and Quer1esI
 There was an extraordinary character in Yorkshire, at the beginning of the present century, named Jemmy Hirst, of Rawcliffe, who was we11-known figure at Doncaster and York races, and whose singular eccen- tricities had spread his fame even as far as London. When Jemmy made his fortune as a tanner, he resolved to cut the lanyard and ssset up as a swelp' for the remainder of his life. The first step he took to that end was to procure handsome oaken coffin, furnish ed with a folding lid. which was let into the corner of his parlor like a cupboard, and fill ed with provisions and liquor. When Jem- my Hirst died, rich and full of years, he left directions in his will that he was to be buried in the aforesaid coffin, and that his body was to be carried to the grave by eight old maids, who were to receive half guinea apiece for their services The eight old maids, how ever were not forthcoming, and eight buxom widows were engaged, at half a crown head, to do duty as bearers. The motley procession was headed by bagpipes and fiddle, and the county folks fiocked in by hundreds to pay their last respects to Jemmy Hirst, of Raw cliffe He died, think, in 1926. remem- ber also hearing of a Mr. Ellis King,who lived in Kings Bench Walk some 80 years ago, and who kept his coffin in his chambers, filed with wine and spirits to be drunk by his friends on the day of his funeral. The coffin occupied conspicuous place in the room, and was always solemnly toasted at his conyivial parties the last thing before the guests took their leave.

Captain IngaIl's Story.
The Dead sea-Serpent He Saw Or Mo

The Dead sea-Serpent He Saw Or Mon-
 hogan Island.
 From the Portland (Me.l Argusl
 Yesterday morning reporter learned that Capt. M. D. Ingalls,, of the schooner Chalcedony, lying at Rumery's wharf had actually seen the big ''sea-serpent'' off Mon- began Island, few days ago. The hardy mar iner grinned little when the reporter told him about the big snake he was reported to have lately seen, but asserted the story was not far from the truth. The Captain then went on to tell about the strange thing he re- gently saw, substantially as follows: 'Last Sunday, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, we were slowly sailing past Monhegan, there be- ing very little wind. about 20 miles south west of the island, when we caught sight of what looked like a large schooner floating bottom up. As the object lay almost dead ahead, we made directly for it, but before we got very close Cape Ann schooner lay to and sent boats crew to inspect what now appeared to be @ monstrous carcass of some species or other. We finally hove to, about ships length off, and took leisurely sur vey of the thing. It was dead, and fioated on the water, with its belly of dirty brown color, up. Its head was at least 20 feet long, and about 10 feet through at the thickest point. About midway of the body, which was, should guess about 40 feet long, were two fins, of clear white, each about 12 feet long. The body seemed to taper from the DacK or the neaQ OOWn to buo SIZ6 OI SInhu log, distinct from the whale tribe, as the end had nothing that looked like a f1uke. The shape of the creature's head was more like a tierce than anything can iken it to. Ihave seen almost all kinds of shapes that can be found in these waters, but never saw the like of this before. Two years ago, off Seguin. I saw shooting through the water 8 thing which, think, resembled this creature con- siderably, but didn't get close enough to it to say for certain. The men from the Cape Ann schooner got on this dead creature, and one of the boys cut double shuttle on it's belly, which for all the world looked like the bottom of schooner covered with barnacles and seaweed by the weather. We should have lowed the thing to Portland had there been any wind, but as there wasn't, we steer ed away and left it. What sort of sea mon- ster this was I can't say for sure, but in my opinion it was the original 'sea-serpent,' which has been seen once in while for years past, and which, when alive, was too swift a swimmer for any sailing vessel to get along side of.''
