FOR THE SPECIALIST.
Dr.. II. w -AGNEIR

Has long been acknowledged, and more So
at this day than any other. The vast field of
medical science is ever increasing, and its nu,,>
nerous BRANCHES are brought s nearer 5a,, and and
longer grasp them all, HencG%A necessity
forFdividing the labor And it is true beyond
all doubt that diseases affecting the genito-
urinary organs need special study more than
anything else, if we would understand and
know how to treat them properly.
DR. II. Wagner is fully aware that there
are many physicians, and some sensible peo-
pie, who will condemn him for making this
class of diseases a speciality, but he is happy
to know that, with most persons of refine.
ment and intelligence, 3 more enlightened
view is being taken of the subject, and that
the physician who devOtes himself to- TelieY-
ing the afflicted, and saving them from worse
than death, is no less a philanthropist~ and
benefactor to his race than the surgeon or
physician who by close application excels in
any other branch of his prOfeSSiOnf And, for
tunateIy for humanity, the day is dawning
when the false philanthropy that condemned
the victims of folly or crime, like the lePers
under the Jewish law, to die uncaTed for, has
passed away.

Florida's Makeup,
How the State Got it's Queer Shape and
Why There is Talk of Division.
IN. o. Pioayune.l

IN. 0. Pieayune,l
An unexpected and novel proposition to
divide Florida Is under discussion in that
State. The Gulf Coast Progress says that
the child of to-day may witness the consum-
nation of the projected division before at
tanning his majority. It says; "Recent
events point enthusiastically to the fact that
South Florida has no rights which the north
ern part of the State is bound to respect.
We have been despoiled of our lands to sat-
isfy the ipsatiate thirst of the greedy cormo.
rants of the northern and middle portions of
the State, and if we would save the remnant
of our heritage from the hands of the des-
poiler, we should be up and doing" The
Floridian defends the northern part OF the
State against the charge of want of respec t
for the rights of Southern Florida, going in
TO details on several points. 1t also OPP
poses the proposed division, declaring that
II would De monstrous. IL ingenuously
gives reasons why there can never be har-
mony between the several parts of the State,
but does not consider that sufficient reason
for separation. The following passage will
be read with interest: 1.-The infirmity, as 1t
were, of Florida is her geographical malfor-
nation. Territorially she is fearfully and
wonderfully made, so to speak. She would
not have been so curiously constructed but
for the circumstance that when the bounda-
ries Of Georgia and Alabama were deter
mined the area Of Florida did not belong to
the United States, and hence the lines OF
Alabama could not be run down to the wa
ter's edge to obtain the port OF Pensacola,
nor those of Georgia to possess the fair land
OF Middle Florida with Its Gulf harbors--a
coast outlet naturally belonging TO those two
States, and which they would doubtless
have possessed. and the peninsula alone
have constituted Florida. So Florida Terri
ritofy became commonwealth of the Union
in the same form as acquired from Spain,
and here we are now, awkwardly shaped,
but quite determined to stick together and
hold on to what we have, though 1t Is 500
miles long round the elbow, and more land
than the six New England States have, and
so arranged that 1t is quite ont of the ques-
ton that there will ever be unity of inter-
ests or entire mutually of commercial H.
tercourse, and consequently political har-
mony. Atlantic, Eastern and Northern con-
nections pull one way, and Gulf, Southern
and Western the other way. One section is
jealous of another, for each has what an
other can't have, and each wants considera-
BILE of all. We cannot all be satisfied even
as to the location of the capital, as geo
graphical centre is problem that deties So
luton by any measurement of this boot
shaped domain. Wherever the capital
might be it would be too far of from some
part of the State

A Glimpse Of Mr.. Wilde.
1.-THE Criterion.l


We were invited to breakfast with Oscar
Wilde last summer, while at Saratoga. The
place selected for the morning revel was the
top of Mount McGregor, suburb of Sarato-
ga, which is reached by pretty little rail-
way, completed during the past season. The
feast was spread on temporary platform
erected over ravine, while under our "din-
ing room" floor little brook made music
and caused Mr.. Wilde to speak of Tenny-
sons poem on the same. The "ideal break
FAST was composed Of sixteen courses, in
terrupted now and then by toasts. When
the Queen was toasted our friend from over
the water rose and objected, which was re-
garded as strange by some present. He re-
marked that the Queen was the most untidy
woman in the United Kingdom!
Among other things Mr.. Wilde said was
the following: "That our western miners
are the only persons in the United States
who wear the correct dressp That "Los
Angeles was the prettiest name he heard in

The pivotal State.

The Ohio Democracy are not dwelling to-
gether in that sweet sympathy of fellowship
which putteth away jealousy and backbiting
and consigns to flames the clubs cutfor each
Others heads. Quite the contrary, they
snarl at each other like the beasts that de-
YOUR, and instead of the clubs they consign
one another to the flames.
Gentleman George hath his eye on the top
round of the ladder, and he is bent on bend
ing every Democratic back to boost him up.
Over against him are quite a number of the
sturdy sort who prefer theirs straight and
don't take civil service or any other reform
mixed up in it. These fling their bricks at
Gentleman" George with perfect looseness,
and he retorts by seizing the organization of
the party and sitting solidly down ON the
pretensions of every candidate who IS not
ductile as moist clay to his aspiring touch.
Judge Geddes is one of those who appears
to have few ideas of his own not altogether
in harmony with Pendlelon, and forthwith
Geddes, who was conceded the nomination
for Governor, finds an opponent in Judge
George Hoadley, who publicly announces in
the Youngstown Vindicator that "Barkis is
willin'." Hoadley says:
My position in this matter is this: have
no claims on the Democratic party-I do not
feel that ought to solicit the support of any
one-but if, in the Judgment of the Democ-
racy of Ohio, it be thought wisest and best
to put me at the head of the ticket, then,
recognizing that the party has claims upon
me, shall not hesitate to answer the call

NEARLY 5000 coal miners are engaged in
the strike at Pittsburg and in that neighbor-
hood, aud the suspension has extended to
over fifty mines. Work has ceased more
generally than at any time before for many
years. The strikers insist on 81 cents per
bushel, and the outcome of the contest is
uncertain: The unstable equilibrium in the
iron trade adds to the uncertainty of the sit
uation. 1t now looks as if there would be.
gin June general lockout, both of pud-
dlers and finishers, in the Pittsburg district.
If the iron mills shut down, coal will be in
less demand, and the coal miners will not be
likely to carry their point. And, on the
other hand, if the iron men can not get coal,
they will view strike of their workmen
with comparative equanimity. The outlook
for Western Pennsylvania is at present not
very encouraging.

A NOVELTY in counterfeifing is silver
dollar that has caused the secret service
officials great deal of trouble. The coun-
terfeit cannot be detected either by its
weight or ring, for the very good reason
that it contains as much silver and of as
high a test as the standard dollar. 1t is
worth just as much as the S5-cent coin that
Dncle Sam palms off on the public for a
dollar, nets profit to the manufacturers of
II to IA cents, and is circulating in great
numbers. The possibility of such "coun-
terfeit'' is severe comment on the honesty
of the genuine coinage.
