A nlou at Medical societies.

chicago Tribune.
Professor Rudolph Virchow the most emf
nent physician and surgeon in Germany, If
not in the world has published card with
drawing from the Society of German Physi-
clans. The cause for this action he states to
be that during his illness last winter he re-
ceiyed box of pills from an apothecary in
Schaffbausen which he took with good eff
feet. He subsequently wrote a note to the
apothecary, thanking him for his courtesy,
which the latter printed without his
knowledge. Although the note con-
tanned nothing that could be con-
strued as an advertisement for the
pills, the physicians set up terri
BILE hue and cry, and his name was plaoarded
by the oflioious organ of the society referred
to above. Inasmuoh as the pills contained
no secret remedy or patent medicine, and as
he was not responsible for the publication of
the note he frankly declares that he can no
longer belong to a society that arrogates to
itself the right of so arbitrary and offensive
criticism" and he adds, in closing his letter:
at is to be hoped thar a similar spirit of
petty obtrusiveness, such as is shown in this
instance, does not now and never will prevail
among the medical faculty" DR.. Virchow
has dealt hard blow at the pretensions of
medical guilds which is applicable in places
nearer home than Germany.

STRIKE NOTES.


Brief Mention of Losses Caused by Delay
Other items of Interest.
A subscription was taken up on the Chi
cago board of trade yesterday for the benefit
of the striking telegraph operators and $500
secured.
The Boston Herald says: -"Some of the
Gloucester fresh-fsh firms have lost thou
sands of dollars through not being able to
communicate with agents and customers on
account of the strike The number of mes
sases refused in the last twenty-four hours
amounts to several hundred"
At the meeting of the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce, on Wednesday, a prominent
broker said to prominent railroad man:
Now is o good time to move the appoint
ment OF a committee of five 10 draft resolu-
tons of censure against the telegraph COM
panies." Il would not take $50 and do it,
and you daren't." said the railroader. You
are right; I dare not" said the broker; and
there the matter dropped.
A representative Of the firm Of Simon &
Husemap, of Cincinnati, bankers and brok-
ers. said: I'VE can't do thing. 1t is inn
possible to get our answers by telegraph the
same day. For instance, we telegraphed yes
terday to Boston, expecting an answer the
same day. and didn't get it until to-day at 10
o'clock. No business, it seems, can be trans
acted at all. Our business, anyhow, is en-
tirely out of the question. Our sympathies
are certainly not with the monopolies OF any
kind"
In his testimony before o committee of
Congress, the late William Orton testified
regarding the compensation OF operators as
follows II have ascertained that at eighty
of our principal offices, employing nearly
1,200 managers and operators, and whose re-
ceipts amount to 40 per cent OF the gross
revenue of the company, the average salary
paid for the month OF December 1873, was
5000. Excluding female operators and
males who served as assistants rather than
regular operators the average would be about
500
This is the testimony of F. A. Armstrong,
Cincinnati broker: 1T has knocked bust
ness higher than a kite. Trading has been
stopped A man won't send an order unless
he can have it filled. This applies to stocks
or anything else. Reports are coming in all
right, but little late. The trouble is that
we can't get any news from the small towns
We have many customers from small Ken
lucky, Ohio and Indiana towns whom we
are cut off from by this business. The gen
eral effect is want of confidence. There is
great deal of complaint on Change"

long ago a provision for carrying merchan-

what we did very seriously diminished their

thing that the United States does operates in
that way upon the interests OF its private CIT

we cannot build postoffice, we cannot do
anything in the way of furthering the mate

Drowning of Miss Cramp.

PHILADELPHIA, July ga reception was
given tonight on board the new ship Alamo
da of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany of San Francisco just COM
pleted at Cramps ship-yard. Among
those who favored the company with selec-
tons on the piano was Miss Maggie Cramp,
of the well-know firm of ship-builders
On leaving the ship and descending

Miss Cramp made misstep, falling into the
river and was drowned. Her body has not
been recovered up to clock The sad ac-
cident brought the reception to an abrunt

How the Telegraph Strike Is Felt by the
Country he Cry for Arbitration.
Mr.. GOULD WILL NOT ARBTTRATE.
Brooklyn Union
Arbitration in such strike as the one now
in progress would demand at the outset
concession by the companies OF the right of
their employees and OF the public TO be con-
profits, and that would be fatal to
the stock-watering principle which
Mr.. Gould and his like regard as the first
requisite OF corporate growth. The system
which has averted strikes in the great iron
industries of England presupposes a fair val
Gation of the capital invested in plant and
machinery as the basis OF the calculation by
which the rate of wages is to be determined.
When the railroad and telegraph COM
panies are willing TO accept that as the start
ing point of an investigation into their abil-
ity to pay the wages asked from them there
will he neither use nor apology for strikes.
PIT THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS.
Louisville Commercial.
Strikes are like wars, very expensive modes
of settling difficulties; but, until fair mode
of arbitration, enforced by law and public
opinion, is substituted, we must, so long as
men are troubled with human nature and So
ciety is constituted as 1t is, have strikes. Let
business men who are angry at the strikers
because of the trouble they are put to, blame
the right parties. The telegraph companies
have been making great deal of money,
and are able to pay good wages. They have
been given large privileges by the public and
in return have undertaken to perform certain
important duties. Are they justified in re-
fusing to perform these duties, simply because
1t will cost them little more than they
nave been paying, and because they won't
make quite so much money as they have
been making?
DUTY OF CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.
New York Evening Post.
1t cannot be said that in taking such q
step the Chamber of Commerce would i'm
properly NEEDLE with other peoples bust
ness. This trouble is, on the contrary, the
business of the whole business community,
and therefore the business of the Chamber
If Commerce, no less than that of the West
ern Union and of the telegraph operators. 1t
might even be said that the Chamber should
recognize il as its peculiar duty to do all it
can TO protect the business community from
incaiculable injury in an emergency like
this.
FAIR REPRESENTATION.
New York Graphic.
The Western Union declares that the SIT
uatiou at Its office has been grossly misrep-
resented by the press. The company would
probably be better satisfied il Jay Gould

Fine Race Between Hanlan, Hosmer and
Lee, at Syracuse.


SYRACUSE, July 26.-The Hanlan-Hosmer-
Lee race at Fulton this afternoon was wit
messed by nearly 5000 people. The course
was three-quarters of a mile, rowed over
twice. There was very little betting it being
conceded that Hanlan was a sure winner.
There were few even bets on the result
between Hosmer and Lee.
The start was made at ffty-six seconds past
o'clock All took the water together, Han
Ian End Lee pulling thirty-four and Hosmer
ta.sy-six strokes. The boats kept even in
the list half mile, and Hanlaa then drew
ahead, with Hosmer a trifle the best OF
Lee. Hanlan turned the stake in
six minutes Hosmer ten seconds
later, and Lee five seconds behind.
Back TO the start Hanan drew well to the
front of Hosmer and Lee, between whom
there was a fine struggle A quarter of u
mile from the start Hanlan slowed up, and
the others gained on him. Hanlan turned
the starting point four lengths ahead in nine
minutes and thirty-four seconds; Hosmer
and Lee turned together. Hanlan soon
stopped rowing and took a drink of water
from his hand. Again starting Hanlan was
two lengths the best of Hosmer and Lee.
The three kept their positions to the quarter.

iS"Co W tbO euhhiuS StanC. A4OC @he. AAOS-
mer kept up a fine struggle all the
way up. Hanlan turned the stake in four
teen minutes and fifty seconds, Lee ten
seconds behind him. Hanlan spurted after
all three had turned, and gaining good
head settled to twenty-eight strokes per
minute. Hosmer, shortly after turning,
spurted and was soon alongside of Lee, and
both pulled fine race all the way back, and
about quarter of mile from the finish both
drew up to Hanlan, and the three rowed side
by side, for a short distance, when
Hanlan, by a few strong strokes, opened "a
lead of several lengths from Hosmer, who
was still length ahead of Lee. When a few
rods from the finish, Hanlan auickened his
stroke aud crossed the score the winner,
Hosmer half q length ahead of Lee. The
time of Hanlan was 10 min 40 Sec, Hosmer
10 min. so Sec, Lee 10 min 81 sec. Henly, OF

fourth. The time is regarded as showing
that the course was not full three miles.
Hanlan, Hosmer and Lee have started for the
st. Paul regatta.
