SOME LONDON PHYSICIANS.
The Field Less Promising and More Elk.
pensiye Than in America.

London Letter to San Francisco Chronicle
That medical men as body do not make
nearly so much money here as In America I
am very sure. In the course of a conversation
L had recently with leading London physi.
clan he told me that the average earnings of
London medical men do not exceed 81, 900 per
annum. On the other hand, there are scores or
SO of doctors in London whose professional in.
come is enormous. Referring to individual
cases, suppose Sir Andrew Clarke's pro-
1essional income may be set down roughly at
$4,000 per annum. Sir Andrew practices in
Saville Row, the headquarters of the elite of the
medical profession. He is remarkable man
In more ways than one and relies in his prac-
tice far less on drugs and nostrums than upon
diet and change of air.
1t takes great deal more capital to enable a
medical man to start in practice in this country
than 1t does in America. In London no Young
doctor thinks of starting in the profession until
he can take and furnish house throughout
erect a handsome red light outside his door
and put up brass plate of Brobdingnagian
proportions. Furthermore, he would have
little hope OF success unless he can from the
nrst support the expense of brOugham. a
coachman in livery and page boy to carry out
the medicine to possible patients. In short
tnere are few young men who would think of
starting in practice for them selves until they
were in position to spend at least 50 900
during the first year Of their practice. Again. a
doctor to have a fair chance OF success should
be q married man. as many families would not
under 1any circumstances be attended by a
bachelor physician.

French Chivalry in China.

From Taiwan Correspondence Of The London Times.
Since the 5th inst. (March) the French have
been constantly engaged In the destruction of
small craft, not only Of junks from the main
land-which might be carrying contraband of
war-but of fishing and trading craft, boats car
rying frewood, dung, peanuts and char
coal. In fact, the hundred and one

nese to gain an honest livelihood have
been Shot, shelled, blown up, burned, torpedoed,
sunk, or scuttled along the coasts. The survi-
vors Of their crews have been kidnapped and
sent to Kelung to work the batteries. We have
seen three mighty ships, among them the Tri-
ON phante, pursuing q little junk laden with
dried fish firing big guns and round after round
from the machlne-guns in the tops at the poor
junk-men. Hundreds of junks have been thus
destroyed, and the greatest misery has re-
suited.
The Chinese are greatly exasperated, and
their ill-feeling extends to the English, whose
colony of Hong Kong is allowed to form the
French base for such warfare. Our position is
rendered extremely dangerous. There is no

From the New York Tin

From the New 7 DIRK Times
The solemn warning given the other day by
the Times against the use of Indian names has
been signally justified by the fate of the Rev
Mr.. Marshall, of Georgia. He named his daugh-
ter "Eufaula,' regarding it as zone of those
beautiful Indian Names" and he was for a time
proud Of possessing daughter with a name at
once musical and truly American. But he is
now wiser and sadder man, for he has
learned that "Eufaula" means wet Dog. and
that he has unwittingy given to Christian
maiden the name of wet Dog Marshall" 1t is
TOO late to change the girls name, except by act
through life Handicapped with name that
will render her miserable and hopeless girl
There Is an impression founded on the novels
written by the late Fenimore Cooper-that the
Red Indian Is a highly poetical person. who has
genius for selecting beautiful and significant
names. In point of fact he is nothing of the
himself Red Dog" ..Shac6nasty Jim and
like prosaic names, and never once dreams of
daughter the Laughing Water" The Indian
names in use by white men have been selected,
as Mr.. Marshall selected name for his daugh-
ter, not because OF their meaning, but because
OF their sound. In most cases, when we have
attached any meaning to an India name it has
been done without any authority from the
example, Alabama" being sonorous word
was given as a name to one of our
states, and some ingenious person afterward
suggested that it meant, "Here we rest No
Indian ever got so much meaning out of a
single word, and in fact few civilized persons
would be able to so OVerwOrk word of their
own language. In order to say Here rest"
an Indian would have to say something like
"Algona mitche pompasakeogee owatchgo"
which would be nice name for civilized
commonwealth! 1t is unnecessary-and, in
deed, In Journal intended for family reading
1t would be impractcabe-to give the real
meaning of Alabama but the simple fact is
that the people of that state We're they to know

Peters Pence.

the faithful gave freely for the support Of their
first shepherds In 1862 when the church was
deprived OF a large portion of the territory that
the emperors had given the Holy See, the pope
and since then every true Catholic has Imposed
on himself the voluntary tribute which is
known as Peters pence. In 1870 the 'spolia-
ton" was completed and Plus TX, deprived of
all territorial dominion, was obliged to make a
choice between accepting the indemnity offered
by the 1talien government and contenting him
self with the proceeds of this voluntary tax
He elected in favor OF the latter plan and the
Catholic world showed that his confidence was
not misplaced. The product of Peters pence
TX. averaged $2,4OO,OOO annually. This was
divided into two parts one was devoted to the
current expenses of the Holy See, the other was
set aside for the reserved fund started in 1860
and intended to meet any emergency which
might rise. At the death of Plus TX this fund
penses Of Holy See are about 81 POO, 900 a year,
of which 100000 is expended for the personal

THE MODERN DINNER.
Its SplendOr Poor . Substitute for Herbs

From the Lancaster Intelligencer.
There Is O good deal in the newspapers nova
days about elaborate dinners, and from the de-
scription printed of the flowers and the glass,
the china and the upholstery that furnish the
banquet boards 1t might be judged that the
feasts of Lucullus and the famous festivals of
the ancients had no such splendors as are in
the modern dining rooms Of Philadelphia and
Washington.
Social entertainment is fine art. A dinner
may be made the occasion for a display of the
highest refinement. In the arrangement of the
table, the choice of the menu and the selections of
wines there is opportunity to exercise great
taste, intellectual accomplishments and nice
artistic sense. When the aim is to minister
solely to the sensual appetite and to crafty a
barbaric desire for display, the dinner becomes
only An affair for the upholsterer the florist and
the caterer; the long purse and the most vulgar
ner. Too many Of the modern dinners are
simply affairs Of this kind. The host pays for
them and that is all there is OF him about them:
he might as well bestOw upon each guest the
cost of his or her share of 1t and let them spend
1t to their liking.

The costiness of the affair suppresses every sort

The reaction will only come when the sump-

town, James Wilton, one of the party, was ia

eInsued, his assaiiants were tried, and one of
them was convicted and is now serving term
in the penitentiary for the offense. The convic-
ton was mainly due to the testimony of DIR.
Moore, who by this means incurred the enmity
of the friends of the prisoners. Shortly after
the trial the doctor received a letter threaten
ing his life and q few weeks since, as he was
boarding a night train at Dorchester station an
unknown man assaulted him and attempted to
throw him under the wheels of the train as 1t
moved out of the station. The doctor cried for
help, ana the man escaped. One night last
week he was pursued by four men in a sleigh
as he was driving home from London. BY run
