At one Of the sessions of the Interna-
tional Congress of Medical Jurisprudence
just concluded in New York city, a paper
vas read by DR.. c. Fl. Harvey which is
of considerable interest to the public. 1t
related to a method of caring for the
dead which presented all the advantages
of cremation without any of the features
deemed by many Objectionable. It also
avoided the destruction of proof of crime
in cases where suspicion of foul dealing
might subsequently arise. The process
consists of treating the corpse to cur
rents Of dry air whereby the gases en-
gendered by decomposition are carried
off and burned, while the body remains
in a permanent state of preservation
aud need not be thrust under ground,
but can be placed in a receptacle more
agreeable to think Of. A company, it is
said, has been formed to introduce the
process in large cities. If this is practi-
cable, as represented, there is no reason
visible why it should not secure a wide
adoption.

GUILTY.
/ The First Conviction For Violation of
/ the Medical Law.

the Medical Law.
The trial of W. G. Harding for unlawfully
practicing medicine in the territory, was
concluded in the district court yesterday
evening a. s o'clock. The prosecution was
conducted by County Attorney De Witt,
assisted by W. G. Stapleton, Esq, and de.
fendant's interests were looked after by
Judge Keithly.
The particular offense charged in the in
.dictment against DR.. Harding was pre-
seribing and acting as a physician without
first having obtained a permit from the
territorial medical board, in that during
the month OF May he had treated profess
sionally one Harry Niles, the man who
died SO suddenly at the Montana Iron
works, in this city some weeks ago.
The law under which the Indictment was
found contains a clause which sta ties that
no person shall be deemed guilty of any
violation of the law who shall, in cases of
emergency, and when a regularly licensed
physician cannot be summoned immedi-
ately, attend any person either sick or in
iured when called upon to do SO. 1t was
this clause which the defendant advanced
in extenuation of his act, stating that
Niles was dying when he was called upon to
prescribe for him, and in order to save or
proloDg deceased's life he administered
medicine, two teaspoons full of lobelia.
In rebuttal the prosecution claimed that
regularly licensed physicians were within
easy reach at the time, and then introduced
evidence to show the defendants incompe-
tency to prescribe in cases OF danger, as ad-
mitted by himself when stating the dose OF
the drug he administered, which, it was
proven by several physicians, was enough
of itself to cause death without reference to
the mans degree of illness.
Judge DeWolfe in charging the jury stat
ed the law and in the course Of his remarks
dwelt strongly on the clause relating to an
emergency, and if anything, favored the de-
fendant.
After being out a short time the jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty as charged" and
left the matter OF punishment with the
court.

over competition between American and
Mexican laborers, since both are under
high protective tariff systems. If protec.
tion protects, as certain Republicans al.

labOrer's pay in the United States ? So
high is the tariff in Mexico that it is al.

n0mics Of Mexico and the United States.

PROTECTION ARGUMENT.

Professor Van Fredenberg, the versa.
tile editor Of the Buffalo, N. Y, milling
World" sends THE MINER this moroccan
as a clincher to the logic Of the superla.
tiyeness Of protection:
take this little lamb, said He,
And lay it on my breast;
Protection he shall find in me;
In me be ever blest.
The lines follow the announcement Of
the death of a child, printed in an East
ern paper. The Professor thus comments
on the same:
embark onto" this political-obituarial
indication OF the drift Of matters in Celes-
tialdom. With "Kingdom Come" arrayed
against free trade and in favor of protec.
ton, what becomes OF Democratic pros
poets?
That's a tough one, to he sure. But the
Democratic party has hopes Of surviving
even this array Of protection logic. The
old fellow with the cloven foot Is said to
be fond of quoting scriptures when it
suits the purpose, and the protectionists
would not hesitate to scale st. Peters
walls to beat their way in and then send
out circulars on the benefits of being
protected by adamantine surroundings.

WHY THE TERRITORY is DEMO.

WHY THE TERRITORY is DEMO.
y CRATIC.
Russell B. Harrison is credited by the
Minneapolis journal" with this ex.
PLANTATION, when asked about the politics
Of Montana:
1.-THE fact that the Democrats claim to
have a majority OF the delegates to the
constitutional convention cuts no figure as
to the real political situation. The peo-
pie OF Montana were only interested, I be.
lieve, in seeing good men sent to the con.
stitutional convention without regard to
their political affiliations"
That's it; the people wanted good men,
and so they selected a majority of Demo-
Gratis for the convention. That very
satisfactorily explains the situation. The
convention is doubtless composed of good
men; probably the best men from both
parties. and that a majority is Demo-
cratic is to the credit of the electors.

Accused of Killing Two Idaho Sauaws,

Accused of Killing Two Idaho Squaws.
For several weeks a correspondence has
been going on between Constable Epson o.
Reno and the sheriff of Alturas county
Idaho, says the Gazette" relative to the
whereabouts OF Leander Lee, who is charged
with killing a couple OF squaws with whom
he had been living. Having learned that
his man was at work at Smiths sawmill in
Long Valley, Sierra county, CAL, Epson
went there last Friday evening and brought
him to Reno to await the arrival OF the
Idaho sheriff. 1t is alleged that the two
Indian women had several horses. which
were disposed OF by Lee soon after their
disappearance, and a strong suspicion pre-
vailed that they had been murdered, but
no clue was obtained until recently, when
their dead bodies were exhumed, both bear.
ing unmistakable evidence of having been
foully dealt with.

general manager OF the company, had
sent a cablegram dated June 8 to Presi.
dent Harrison, announcing that the direct
ors OF the company desired to contribute
$1,000 to the relief fund for the J ohnstown

THE MONTANA UNIONS NEW SHOPS

THE MONTANA UNIONS NEW SHOPS
The great amount of business given
the Union Pacific road by Butte and Sill.
yer Bow county, entitle this section to
unusual consideration on the part of the
company. OF course there are other
roads here ready and willing to share
this business. and still others are coming;
but it would not be diplomatic to an.
tagonize the business interests of a peo-
pie whose traffic is so great, for, under
ordinary conditions, each road is bound
to get its share of business.
Besides this, Butte is favorably located
for receiving and doing the repairs neces-
sary to be done on the Montana and
Idaho sections Of the road. And, more
over, the people here are willing to
grant any reasonable concessions to the
company to secure the location Of the
proposed shops at this point.
The energetic action Of the board OF
trade, in this matter, is likely to result
in good. The shippers over the Montana
Union, and the business people generally,
signed with eagerness the petitions pre-
sented to them by the board of trade
committees, and expressed their willing
ness to do all in their power to secure
the object sought.
At the meeting tonight it is probable
that such information will be obtained
from Mr.. Law as will enable the board of
trade to determine what future action,
If any, will be advisable. In the mean
time the outlook seems favorable for Sc
curing the location of the new shops
about to be erected by the Montana
Union.

Judge De Wolfe Orders q Certificate to be
Issued to DIR. McLaren.
Mcbride & Haldorn, attorneys for DR.. D.
q. McLaren, appeared in the district court
yesterday morning and argued the motion
for q writ Of mandamus compelling the ter.
ritorial medical board to issue a certificate
to the petitioner permitting him to prac.
tice medicine in the territory. The writ was
issued and served upon DR.. Leavitt as a
member of the board peremptorily ordering
him to issue q certificate to DR.. McLaren
permitting him to practice until the next
regular session of the board.
DR.. McLaren is the local representative
of the Liebig ~dispensary and is a graduate
Of medicine OF McGill university of Mon
treal, Canada, and also has the degree OF
bachelor Of arts of the same institution.
He has practiced in several hospitals OF
Philadelphia, certificates to which effect be
has in his possession.
The reason the board refused to issue q
certificate to him, 80 DR.. McLaren says,
was because he was connected with an in.
stitution which advertises, which the board
contended to be unprofessional conduct.

in contact with a waste pipe, also of lead.
A rat, who frequented the waste pipe. hap.
pening to be thirsty, and divining by the
curious instinct peculiar to such animals,
the proximity Of a supply of water, had
gnawed a hole through the walls OF both
pipes in order to get a drink. He succeeded
in getting his drink. but omitted to close
the hole again, and the water continued to
through the meter and out again
through the waste pipe.

WAS HARR1soN,s MOTIVE ?

WHAT WAS HARRISON'S MOTIVE
The refusal Of President Harrison tt
sign the diplomas of the graduating
class Of the law school of the National
University atWashington, is the subject Of
much unfavorable comment. AS a re-
suit Of this refusal the regents of the
university have removed President Har.
rison from the Chancellorship of the uni.
versity.
Since the beginning of General Grants
first term the President of the United
States has been ex-oficio Chancellor of
the National University. General Grant
served in that capacity two terms and
took great interest in afixing his sigma
ture to the ~sheepskins. The same is true
Of Presidents Hayes, Arthur and Cleve-
land. all Of whom put themselves to in
convenience to perform the duty, but
when the diplomas Of the class of 'S9 were
presented to President Harrison, he de-
clined to sign them.
The regents and faculty were aston
ished, and one of them, ex-Justice Nc
Arthur, Of the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, called on him to ascel-
tain the reason. Mr.. Harrison is under
stood to have treated the matter lightly,
saying that he was under no obligation
as President of the United States to sign
the diplomas Of any institution; that he
had not signed the diplomas of the Co
lumbia Law School, and would not sign
those of the National University Law
School. He spoke with a high and mighty
air, as though this were a matter below
the dignity Of the President.
The regents promptly relieved them
selves of General Harrison by surrender
ing the charter of the institution and
taking out a new one under which they
at once elected Associate Justice Miller
Of the United States Supreme Court to
the Office of Chancellor.
This affair is the subject Of much criti-
cism Of Mr.. Harrison, and people are try
ing to find out the real motive that i'm
PEELED him.
