Subjects for the Schools.

EVENING, OEC. 2Is Ioo<s
Subjects for the Schools.
AfOretime the medical schools OF |
which are the only insti- |
tutiOns of the kind in this state and the
most celebrated in the country, depended
for their supply of anatomical subjects
upon tine reprehensible and illegal prac-
tice of snatching bodies from their place
of sepulture. More than one student
and professor who has since risen
to high rank in an honorable
profession has indulged in this
offense and is only relieved from the
situation in which the later Philadelphia
grave robbers find themselves by the
gracious interpOsition of the statute OF
limitations. In 1867 the necessities OF
the ins stitutions had reached such a point
and the ministering to them had be-
come such scandal, that, likely for the
repose of their own bones, as vel! as for
the safety of other bodies, the members
of the Pennsylvania Legislature we're
moved to enact that in the counties of
Allegheny and Philadelphia, public Off
GERS shall deliver for dissection the bodies
of deceased persons required to be buried
at the public expense, said bodies to te
distributed among the schools equitably
in proportion to the number of their
ST. as.
ms ;hat = g legitimate supply IF
bo:i.s from these sources for the Phlla-
de III, schools is between $50 and 400
per ,tar, while their requirements for
de:Gy.,strative purposes are not less than
500. The advanced condition of medical
science, the rapidly increasing demand
for better knowledge Of surgery and
the admitted superiority of the Philadel-
pI,ia schools leave no room to question
the propriety of their demand for this
number of bodies. A due consideration
for the living asserts itself above even
the superstitious regard which the pub
lie have for the repose of the dead, and
certainly the most fastidiOus cannot at
tack the wisdom of the law of 1867. But
since it is found that this statute
does not furnish enough subjects
for the dissecting tables of the schools
other sources of supply are required, to
prevent the recurrence of the robbery OF
cemeteries. A natural and easy solu-
tion of the problem is suggested 10y the
Medical Ne,rs, and it is one which We
believe has the general appreciation of
the faculty in Philadelphia. This is
that the managers of public institutions
throughout the state shall dispose OF
all the unclaimed bodies coming
under their jurisdiction in the same
way AS now prescribed for Philadelphia
and Allegheny. The classes of the med
ical institutions for whose members the
subjects of the scalpel are needed come
largely from the country; theirs is
partly the loss if sufficient supply can
not be furnished, and their, in a mea-
slrc, the olfense and shame ii the law is
broken to supply the deficiency. Consid'
erirg the present difficulties and dangers
which their instructors have IL secure
the essential means of demonstrating
the science of surgery, there can bc nc
reasonable objection to the proposition
that all the counties of the state shall
contribute their unclaimed bodies to lis
medical schools.

all the work. the demand that the pay

LATER Developments in the Dukes
Mutt shooting case throw no additional
light either on the nature of the immedi.
ate tragedy, or the events leading up to it.
A big funeral parade, with civic and
military display conveyed the remains of
Capt. Mutt to the tomb and likely has
somewhat to do with the reported in
crease Of Indignation against the homicide.
But the facts are not yet out.
H. the Philadelphia Record looked
more sharply at its local exchanges it

cord That papers able editorials taken
bodily from the Philadelphia North AMER

b. mistake, reprint some Of its late cdi.
torials against Pattison and Cassidy. and
then there will bo music. Likewise tho
Erening Telegraph.
In the few working days left to this
Congress thcro is scant chance Of much
attention to the accumulation Of serious
work before it, including besides tho ap
preparation bills, measures for tariff levi-
SIGN, the reduction of the internal revenue
civil service reform, the admission of Da-
kota and bankruptcy system. AS Con-
gress goes out March 4th, few of these
measures can be acted upon at the present
rate of legislation.
IT will be set down to the failure of
women to manage business affairs that the
co operative dress association, started in
New York some timo ago with $3.50, 1000
capital, has become failure. Kate Field,
Mrs. John Bigelow and other well known
New Workers are the leading spirits in the
concern, and stockholders were to have a
reduction Of per ceLt. on all purchases
besides tho dividends that were certain to
be declared. As it came into competition
with the big dry goods stores they opened
fire on it and have ruined it. The m oral
perhaps, is that tho shoemaker should
stick to his last.

When the flames were first discovered
the wind was blowing briskly in the direc
ton of the McGovern mansion, a fine
brick structure, which is east from the
site of the barn, and for a short time it
was feared the house was endangered, but
at lucky juncture and when the sparks
were flying thickess toward the imperilcd
building tho wind suddenly changed
and tho flames swept in an Op-
posite direction. By the time engines 1
and of the city fire department had
reached the scene, the flames had devcu.ed
about everything in reach, though No. 4
secured plug at the extreme end of
North Queen street, and played a stream
on the burning timbers for short time.
There was very largo crowd attracted
from the city. which lent additional ex-
citement to the scene of the conflagratiOp,
and to day there have been hundreds OF
visitors to view the remains of what was
valuable and elegant structure

weeks to live with him. Elk are plenti-
full: bears are numerous and trouble
some visitors; they have destroyed a

The CutavacO will cause the hair to

The Thad. Smith and French Fight.


Mr.. Thad. Smith as successor to his late
father as county clerk, finds his bed lined with
anything but roses; in his contest with Mayor
French for the nom; nation of the democratic
party, he displayed strength that astounded
his opponents, but now that all is over and
Mr.. French was distanced, Mr.. Smith is
charged with having accomplished his nomi-
nation " it'll the use of money, that he Dor.
rowed and spent from $1,000 to $1,000 and
purchased up the Mex can leaders from under
s.his honor;' however true this may be, it is
certain that "his honor" would have been
subjected to like charges.
As republicans we have no part in this quar-
rel, only it goes to prove that our local demo-
cratic nominating machine has become so cor
rupt that the brand of fraud is placed upon
every candidate who comes out Of it with a
nomination, no matter how worthy he may be
personally.
The primaries are the very fountain source
of political party; if the fountain source is
poisoned the whole stream suffers: the man
who stocks the primaries is unit for public
favor, at the hands Of any political party.
Such is the argument at any rate, and Mr..
Smith suffers greatly 10 this his first venture
in public life.
