WOMEN AS DENTISTS.
Some Who Have Made Money and Wei
Fame in the Profession.


Fame in the Profession.
Women in dentistry as yet are pio-
neers, only a few having entered the
profession. The first woman to gradu-
ate was q German, who entered the
Cincinnati College of Dentistry. She
was followed by Henrietta Herschfield.
of Berlin. The Crown Princess of Ger.
many, since Empress Victoria. has al
ways encouraged women in trying to
get out OF the narrow limits in which
they have been held. In 1869 Frau
lein Herschheld, upon her return to
Germany. was so fortunate as to enjoy
royal patronage, this at once bringing
her into prominence. Since that time
several others from Germany and Eli
gland have come to our country, and
upon their grad uation have returned
to practice in their native lands.
1t is said that the most successful
dentist in London at present is Ger
man baroness, who is the most clever
tooth extractor in England. That is
her branch of the business. and she is
called a ''dental surgeon" The other
dentists send their patients to her when
extreme measures have to be resorted
to. There are five ladies practicing
successfully in New York City, also
several in Chicago, Minneapolis, and
Detroit. The only lady who has ever
occupied a professor chair in tbs pro-
fessiOnal department of the University
of Michigan has been a lady dentist,
DR.. Margaret Humphrey. She was for
several years assistant demonstrators to
DR.. Waiting, and delivered the course
OF lectures on materia medica. She
resigned to take upon herself the sup
posed less arduous task of lecturing to
one instead of many. She was also
treasurer OF the dental department,
and one OF the officers of the State Den
tai Society. She was followed by DR..
Elsie Hallock, who flied the position
ably until she, too, resigned for the
same reason. The Ann Arbor Dental
College receives women gladly, and the
male students treat them with the
greatest respect, even the medical
students seeming to think women are
in their ''sphere' in dentistry.
Among the 5000 dentists in the
United States only sixty are women.
would urge upon all women who are
contemplating the study of dentistry
the necessity OF choosing that school
having the longest course of study. l
would have them recognize the fact
that dentistry is not only an art but
also u science. Too many seem to for

We have often been asked how we
like dentistry. aud in reply we would
say that great many women prefer to
come to us, and we are, We believe,
/ peculiarly successful with children be-
cause we understand better how to
manage them. We like the profession

LIKE AN AVALANCHE.

The McElrath Livery Barn Is
Swooped Under Attachments.
Unless halt is soon called, that little
livery barn of McElrath q Murphy's
will get lost in a heap of mortgages,
liens, attachments and injunctions.
About half dozen people are now en-
deavoring to get possession of the barn
and its contents, the total value of
which is not over $4,000. Carson Nc
Elrath, the father of Robert and Sam
uel McElrath, has possession OF the
business, at present, by right of several
chattel mortgages which he holds.
Addie l.. Keam, who loaned one of the
McElrath boys 500, has secured ali at
tachment to secure that amount. Yes
terday suit was filed by K. Nj. Murphy
against Robert, Samuel and Carson Me
Elrath. Murphy states that he was in
duced to buy half interest in the
business by false representations made
by the McElraths, who claimed that the
stable was doing Business OF from
500 to $500 month. After getting into
the firm Murphy found that the bust
ness did not amount to over $500
MOI t /. and that amount just about COW
cred the running expenses. Mr.. Muir
ply asserts that at present the assets of
the firm are about $500, while the liza
bilitieS a,e only $1,464. He further
stotAs that McElrath drew about $1,000
out of the firms funds between Jan.
and July l, while he (Murphy) only
crew about 500. He prayS the court to
dissolve the partnership, app lint a re-
ceiver and issue an I'M u lction restrain
ing the MeEIraths from further inter-
ference in thu business.

Shall That Broadway Bridge

West Sideps Unburden Them

The Common Council Must

to Be United.
A SWede Killed and Then Cut
to Pieces by Railroad
Trains.

The West side orators were In full
force at the meeting of the council COM
mittee on streets last evening. Every
man of them wanted low bridge be-
tween Broadway and State streets, and
they were not afraid to say so, individu-
ally or collectively, and with - their
hands tied behind them. From all that
could be gathered from the rambling
discussion, 1t was evident that they are
more afraid of the assessments for grade
on State state than Of any other dire
results of a high bridge. The aldermen
are inclined to look upon the matter in
this light. and the oft-repeated argu-
ments of the Sixth ward people seemed
to have little weight with them. Capt.
Bell, an experienced river man, repre-
Sented the steamboat men. He Informed
the committee that there would not be
room enough between the wharf and the
proposed bridge to get steamboat
under sufficient way to pilother through
the draw. and that there would always
be danger of drifting down on to the
bridge. William Pitt Murray did not
represent anybody in particular, but he
knew that low bridge would not do
aud he knew it hard. Even the
forcible arguments of Charles Lie
nau and E. P. Wilgus could not
change his mind on that point. Mr..
Murray even went so far as to give the
West Siders quiet tip" He knew
that the government would never allow
a low bridge to be built there, and sug-
geSted that Man-afraid-of- the-grade had
better take high bridge than plans for
a low one with endless litigation at
tachments. Mr.. Lienau knew some
thing about the law himself, and did
not see how the government could
allow anything but low bridge. A
motion was finally made by Aid. Gehan
that the committee report in favor of a
low bridge. 1t was lost, and, as a last
resort. the matter was referred to the
council without recommendation.

FAIR association met with President
Bushnell yesterday afternoon and con-
sidered the racing programme. 1t was
decided that the races during the fair
should be divided between the runners
and trotters, and that $4,000 in purses
should be put up. Messrs. Cross, Cham
bers and Pillsbury were given charge
of the programme, which will be pre-
pared and Published at once. PROPOSE
tions are being considered looking TO
some novel departures in the dairy de
partment. 1t is quite probable that
prizes of great value will be offered for
actual milk tests upon the fair grounds.
by which dairymen may gain at least q
partial knowledge as to the best breed
of dairy COWS. The Grand army and
national guard day programmes are, in
the hands of a committee now, who are
arranging for the joint celebration.
