ETHICS OF HOSPITALS.
One Physician Who Objects TO Their Alleged
Cliques.

One Physician Who Objects TO Their Alleged
Cliques.
Said well-known doctor yesterday: 81
think you folks ought to call attention to
discrimination in another line than that OF
trade. believe that skilled physicians
are as much necessity in a community as
just freight rates. Now there are hospitals
that draw money out of the
State Treasury, and yet they maintain med
ical rings. Certain physicians, good ones
no doubt, but no better than plenty of others
to be found in this city, have gotten into
these places, and they never resign except
to put another Of their clique into place, and
as to dying, they are not like to do that un-
less old age claims them, as they take good
care of their health and are free from worry.
"Now, my objection lies in the facts that
these men not only are able to get more bus
iness than they are entitled to by their abil-
ity, but have facilities afforded to treat their
patients at these hospitals that an outside
physician cannot get; have opportunities to
study furnished gratis that outsiders have
not, and that finally they are sticklers for
the ethics of the profession and will not
allow their brethren at large to advertise,
while they themselves do so on every possi-
BILE occasion in the medical journals and
through the daily press.
"You can scarce glance at paper with
out learning that some doctor belonging to
the medical staff of one of these institutions
has performed some remarkably skillful op-
Grafton. There is no advertising in this,

JUGGLERY In 4 CHURCH.


An Exhibition Given Before the Butler
Street M. z. Sunday school-A Masi-
clans Explanation.
Superintendent Sam Hamilton, Of the
Butler Street M. E. Sunday school, was in
his glory last night to think that he had
been the means of pleasing the 1000
scholars of the school, augmented by fully
200 more friends of the scholars. Mr..
Hamilton had engaged Mr.. Pray, travel
ing magician, to exhibit his tricks Of
legerdemain to the scholars, admittance be-
ing by tickets issued to the different
teachers.
Prof Pray prefaced his performance by a
speech, explaining to the scholars that
when they grow up to leave home and 60
out into the world they should not believe
all they see or be carried away by mysteries
because they could not understand them, as
all were but feats obtained by peculiar dex-
terity and practice. He said that the best
educated were often the easiest to deceive,
and a magician's best audience was one of
doctors, preachers, lawyers and scientific
men.
lie denounced splrltuallsm, mesmerlsm,
clairvoyance, etc., and warned the scholars
from believing in them. In illustrating the
tricks of magicians, he spoke of DR.. Ham,
mond, who hired boy to submit to have
his hand burnt with hot irons by noted
New York physicians, making them think
he was mesmerized and senseless to pain.
The Professor then rolled up his sleeves,
borrowed Superintendent Hamilton's hand
kerchiH and proceeded to produce eggs
from it, and performing the numerous
tricks of magician.
Table raising with the tips Of the fingers
and whirling stool in the same way were
also illustrated and explained as humbug.
The spirit hand was also showed up.
The second part of the performance con-
sisted in throwing balls. bells, butcher
knives. ETC., in the air, balancing pipes,
chairs with boy in on his chin, whir1ing
plates and washbowls on a stick and simi-
lar teats of fjugglery that would have made
big attraction for side show.
Atthe close Superintendent Hamilton took
vote of those that wished another exhibi-
tion (all hands going up), and then said:
1--WE will Pray, then, that he will come
back

WHITE LEAD MEETING.
Il the Manufacturers' Trust to be Nursed

Il the Manufacturers' Trust to be Nursed
Back Into Life Agains
A meeting Of a number Of white lead
manufacturers from different parts OF the
country was held yesterday in the parlors OF
the Hotel Anderson. Among those present
were representatives from the Pennsylvania
White Lead Works, 7. H. Nevin & Co.,
Armstrong & McKelvy, Fahnestock g
Co., of this city; R. P. Rowe, of New York;
G. Pemberton, OF Philadelphia; E. W.
Rockwell, George c. Carpenter, Jr., of st.
Louis; F. Eckstein. of Cincinnati, and E. f.
Beale, of Philadelphia.
Those present at the meeting refused to
state the object of the gathering and what
the result of the meeting had been. 1t was
understood on the outside among other
smaller manufacturers that the meeting had
something to do with the Lead Trust, which
was formed two years ago and almost col
lapsed about four months since. The trust
was then in a shaky condition and was being
held together by the strenuous efforts of
several of the largest firms in the
country. It was supposed Yesterdays meet
ing was held TO strengthen it.

THAT RAMIE DECORTICATOR.
1t Was the Invention of Piftsburser-At
One Time 1t Would Have Yielded Him
Half a Million In Gold.

It Was the Invention of n Piftsburser-At
One Time 1t Would Have Yielded him
Half Million. in Gold.
While the fact has been announced that
decorticator has been invented that will
make ramie cultivation success, it is not
generally known that its inventor
is Prof. George Gibson, of this
city. The British Government at one time
offered e10O, 900 for the production of such
machine. This machine Of Prof. Gibson's
construction separates the stocks and fiber
BY a succession of rollers, and when the
stuff has gone its course, the bruised stock
and fiber lie in separate piles, the fiber lying
straight.
He found much trouble to bring his in
vention into notice at the New Orleans Ex-
position, and from the treatment received did
not expect recognition from the Committee
on Awards, but he not only got it, but the
prize as we'll
Prof Gibson spent considerable time in
Georgia experimenting the growth of
crop of ramie, and succeeded in proving
that the soil and climate were all that could
be asked. He spent years in France manu-
featuring linen, so that his knowledge of
nDer separating machinery was OF use IN
his work on the decorticator.
In this connection Prof. Gibson makes a
statement one would not expect to hear, and
that is that the French are away behind the
United States in the manufacture of rubber
goods, and Prof. Gibson was obliged to
send to this country for packing.
Mr.. E. F. Houston has been raising the
ramie under glass in his yard on Colwell
street, and he says it much resembles the
elderberry bush. Mr.. Houston says that
the fiber can be separated SO minutely that
the thread can scarce be seen by
the unassisted eye and has so much the ap-
pearance of silk that the two can only be
distinguished by burning. While the
woven fabric will not wear so we'll as silk,
many. ladies seeing them side by side,
would, without instruction, choose the
ramie, as the sheen is the preltiest.
1t appears that the Pittsburg capitalists
interested, whose names were given last
week, are confident they have good thing,
and a good thing for them means one for
millions beside

GOING TO WASHINGTON.
The Departure of People From This City
Has Now Begun.

Has Now Begun.
The star of empire may now be said to
be taking its way southeastward. Last
night there were probably more people al
the Union station bound for the East than
there had been during any two days since
Christmas. They were all going to Wash
ingttn to take in the inaugural festivities,
but none of them seemed to have any special
reason for appearing on the ground so early.
At the ticket Office there were over 30
tickets sold for the capital. About 20 came
in from the West on the Panhandle express
and a number on the Ft. Wayne, and
Cleveland and Pittsburg roads. On the
latter train was bride and groom who had
tickets to Washington, and it is supposed
they will celebrate part of their honeymoon
and Harrison's Inauguration both at the
same time.
The couple came from the country down
the river, and the groom came nearly losing
his wife. He went to make some inquiry
about the fast line and the blushing bride
was jostled about Ly the baggage trucks.
When her husband came for her she was
not in the place he left her standing. and
he could not see her in the crowd. With
his accustomed Irish gallantry Officer
Riley rescued the young lady and restored
her to the arms of her husband.
Among other celebrities seen going on the
fast line was well-known pickpocket on
the hill. He will probably relieve several
people of their valuables before he gets back.
The Eastern express had to be run in two
sections in order to accommodate the crowd.
Two extra sleepers and several day coaches
were put on.

lowing: Doctor James L. Penny, John

Funny Experience of the Duque-ne Club
.Wife's Birthday Party.
Mr.. A. Sichterman, the caterer of the
Duquesne Club, had a very funny ex-
perience last Saturday night. His brother
in-law, who keeps a hotel in Homestead,
had arranged birthday party in honor of
Mr.. Sichterman's wife, and Of course the
Duquesne Club caterer was invited to be
present.
He went to the Union depot to catch the
train for Homestead at $50 o'clock. But
when he got to the station, the Homestead
train just steamed out of the depot,
and the next train was not going un-
til II 80 o'clock.
The party, however, was to commence at
8 o'clock and Mr.. Sichterman had to be
there. So, upon making inquiries of con-
ductor, he was told to take a train to Swiss
vale, where boatman might be induced to
row him across the river and Homestead
could thus be reached very easily.
The gentleman got to Swissvale all right,
but he could not induce any man to row
him over on account of the ice in the
Monongahela.
After great deal of thinking and con-
lecture, buggy was hired and Mr.. Sichter-
man reached Braddock. Here he hoped he
would be able to walk across the railroad
bridge, but the man on watch there said
that he would not allow him to cross, even
if he paid him $40.
But time sped, and Mr.. s. had to get to
the party So the club man took another
conveyance that brought him as far as
Salisbury, where he hoped to cross the river
in ferryboat. But again disappointment
upset his calculations The boatman could
not get close enough to the bank on account
of the ice in the high water
Mr.. Sichterman was now standing on the
bank of the Monongahela. Looking across,
he could discern the hotel where the party
was held, all Lit up in the glare Of festivity;
but still he could not get there
So at last he returned to Pittsburg on
Baltimore and Ohio train, and then went to
Homestead at 1130, arriving at the party
long after midnight. Ever since that day
Mr.. Sichterman is mad when anybody
speaks about Homestead.

AWFULLY NEAR THE BADEN TRACT

"Great Scott, but she's gusher! have
known OF no such pressure in all this region
in months, said a gentleman who had just
come up the Ft. Wayne Railway from
Beaver county yesterday afternoon.
"Gusher? Pressure? Do you mean to
say that you've been the subject of femi-
nine hug9 Explain, please" retorted be-
wildered reporter, to the aforesaid gentle
man.
"Naw, nawl Nothing of the kind. She's

months-just blew out this afternoon-owned
by Pittsburger, who has 300 acres of land
right there-pressure 600 to 800 pounds, if
it's an ounce-and it isl

the reporter had every confidence, but who
didn't care to have his name used) ratified
on, until, brought right down to matter of
detail, he told of yesterdays big new nat
urai gas we'll in this manner:
Mr.. A. Hershperger. who used to be
President of the Chautauqua Lake Ice Com
pany, of this city, but who now has nice
country seat of 800 acres about one mile
below Legionville and near Economy, on
the Ft. Wayne Railroad, brought in a
gusher on his land at 10 clock this afternoon.
After drilling for three or four weeks the drill
at IL o'clock this morning, when down
about to the I, 1,400-foot mark, began to tilt
all the tools about the well, with an ap-
parent gas pressure of 25 pounds. But the
workmen kept on, and by going only few
taps deeper, about two hours later, pres
sure of at least6oO, and probably 800, pounds,
was opened up, so that it threw all the tools
out of the well and high into the air.
"Of course, all this is very near the played
out old Baden district; but it's an awful
pressure, no matter where it comes from, or
how long it lasts. The Citizens Company,
of Rochester. and the Ft. Pitt Company,
hold leases Of all the land around there, e1-
cept this 300-acre farm of Hershperger's;
but guess he wouldn't trade with them all
now. He was only drilling to get fuel for
his country residence; but he has got enough,
if it holds out, to furnish several thousand
residences and yield tolls enough to pay for
several big farms. 1t was big surprise"

The man registered at the place as T. NJ.

dressed, and after taking his bath went into
the Office and asked for ''his box" The lat
ter was supposed to contain his valuables,
which are left by the bathers in the Office

was not the one that was there when Nor

asked for by him. After he had disappeared
the real owner of the "bo1" appeared, and
the supposed trick was discovered.
At last accounts Morgan is still with the
watch. There was no such person at the
