Saturday exhortsd pension a,tor-
ney!to do his best to give him a 'shad-
ow OF law on which to base an in.
crease Of certain class of pensions

competent officials are dead. agai st

OF particles in the air Of such minute size as
only TO be able to reflect rays Of short wave

pounded q new theory, which really seems TO
DO more probable one. After raising OBJ
jections to Tyndalls theory PER en-, he pre-
sents his own argument and the results of

Worthy of the Preference

On Wednesday last the bids were opened
by the trustees of st. Patrick's Parochia
Schools for all the finishing wood work
outside and inside. OF the building to be
erected on Park and Washington streets,
The bids required the best workmanship,
which it was supposed could not be fur.
nished nearer than st. Paul. The contract
was, however, awarded to q home
institution. the Silver City Lum.
Der Company, from all compe.
ton, even including st. Paul.
This institution has been under the man-
agement OF Mr.. Williams. who succeeded
Mr.. Thompson last February. The result
is gratifying as showing the ability OF home
concerns to compete with st. Paul work.
It is all done by machinery OF which the
Silver City Lumber Co. has the latest and
most impro' ed patterns, and their supply
OF the best woods is inexhsusible. The
only difference is in labor, and there ia 90
employed that the difference between
and Eastern rates Of wages is
more than offset by the advantage in
frei9hts..

Remarks the Omaha HERALD: LIN Ohio
the doctors are trying to work through
the Legislature one Of the most arbitrary
measures yet devised to elevate the tone
of the profession and keep out bad and
incompetent people, as they phrase it.
1t provides that all itinerant physicians
or specialists shall pay 500 a month
license in each locality visited, and itin-
Grant physicians are defined to be all
those not permanently located, who in
any way advertise their specialties, either
In writing or printing. This is the gist
of the matter.
According to the prevalent code Of
ethics, OF the profession, all who adver-
tise are quacks. This is one of the alb
surdities that throw doubt upon the pro-
gressive character of the vocation. Some
of the brightest sttainments and stand
ing often visit other localities to operate
their specialties, as the eye or ear, but
by the absurd code established thew can
not advertise their object or claims.
They can't pay for an advertisement in
che local paper, but are always glad to
have their names and work extolled in |
the papers. But it is an age of class pro-
lection.

The price Of copper will, necessarily,
be ~favorably affected by the fire, i'm that
