successfully perpetrated one saloon
burglary in Rock Island, and came very

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1889-06-23

The Washington correspondent Of The
Ne'e York Sun declares that the death OF
Neil s. Brown, leaves the House OF Rep
resentatives without Reading Clerk ade-
quate to the duties Of that office. "Tom
Petit" he says, 'Brown's companion at
tho Reading Clerks desk in the House Of
Representatives, does fairly well. but he
lacks the ready and easy articulation and
flow Of words that characterized Browns
reading, and lacks also the technical edu-
cation and general knowledge that en-
abled Brown TO read intelligibly the nu-
merods jaw-breaking documents sent to
the Clerks desk during session OF Con-
gress. Petit is by far the best reader re-
naming to Congress, however, and as a
substitute did very well. Like Brown, he
is citizen Of Tennessee" Charles w.
Clisbee. Of Michigan. and Dr. Ma
haifey, OF Pennsylvania, during the
time when the Republicans controlled the
House were considered fine readers, but
they did not compare, either OF them,
with Brown, whose voice was sonorous
and far reaching, and who came at last to
be preferred by even the Republicans as
the best reader Congress has ever known.
His death has aroused both the Senate
and the House to the necessity for good
readers, and members Of the former body
threaten to reorganize TO secure Ms good
reading clerks as the lamented Brown,
whose young son is filling his place until
Congress meets, when, II the Republicans
organize the House, Petit will very likely
have TO 90, and there will be a new deal
all around.

THE NcV York Medical Journal, a publ.
cation that from the first has espoused the
cause OF women in connection with the
study and practice Of medicine, pays them
in a recent issue the wcll-deserved com
plimont OF saying that "the place OF edu-
Gated women in the medical profession
would seem TO correspond in general way
to that Of educated women in the commu-
nifty at large. Earnest women OF we'll
trained minds have an instinct for reform;
they unearth the forgotten things, and
give time and attention to wearisomc de-
tails that men have not the inclination
perhaps not the abiliiy-to undertake in
serious part. In regard to needed reform,
they have not been backward. On the
contrary. they are often pioneers. The
instruction OF other women in matters OF
health and more satisfactory living has
been largely through their efforts. The
more rational dress Of to lay, together with
the simpler, more natural methods OF
domestic life that now prevail, must be
ascribcd in great measure to the influence
and teachings Of the woman physician.
The application Of principles for the vel.
fare Of humanity gives, as a whole, place
not altogether unworthy Of the best human
effort, whether masculine or feminine. As
teacher. the medical woman stands at
tho point Of power" Higher than this she
cannot so, aud II is greatly to her credit
that she has reached to 1t in little more
than a generation.
