PICKLED PHYSICIANS,

The result of the inquest upon the
body of SULLIVAN. the subject of the
Lake Johanna sensation, has been 10
make jar of pickles or some prominent
st. Paul gentlemen who are classed
among our best citizens, and who have
always borne unstained regulations.
An impartial public will Justify tire
finding Of the jury, because no other
verdict could have ben rendered
in the face of the testimony. What
was intended to be an escapade of
some medical students has turned out
TO be most serious matter. and the incl
dent is fraught with warning to gentle
men of the medical profession who hold
that the interests of science are superior
both 10 law and the common proprie-
tieSo life. The Minnesota law makes
provision for obtaining bodies for dis
section, and while the coro n RS jury
was of the opinion that this law
Is inhuman, yet an Intelligent
public recognizes the fact that practical
anatomical demonstration is all eS-
sential part Of medical and surgical ed
ucation. 1t has been the mistaken pol
icy of the law. heretofore, to be too Sc
we're in its restrictions, and has thus. in
a measure, necesSitated the practice
among physicians of obtaining subjects
for the dissecting table in plain viola
tiOn of law. 1t was to obyiate this
trouble that the Minnesota legislature
granted to medical schools and colleges
the right to appropriate unknown and
unclaimed bodies. The criticism of
the cOrOner's jury may be just, that the
time fixed by law. thirty-six hours.
wherein bodies may be claimed by rela-
tiyes is too short. There ought 10 be at
least week. But it SO happens in this
case that no attempt was made to
observe the forms of the law, as there
was no requisition made by the author
tiles of any medical school for
the body of SULLIVAN. 1t is %
parent that neither the physicians
nor the students who were engaged
in the affair had any knowledge of the
existence Of such law, or they would,
doubtless, have proceeded in regular
form. But, unfortunately for the gen
tlemen, ignorance of law is no excuse
for its violation. There is not a man,
woman or child in this city who would
for one moment suspect that either of
the prominent physicians implicated in
the matter would knowingly or mali
ciously commit crime. They are gentle
men of high character, vino have simply
been the victims of undue professional
zeal and misguided Judgment.
We hope, however. that this unfor-
tunate occurrence will impress upon the
members of the medical profession the
necessity for going before the Legislature
and obtaining legislation that will be
commensurate with the requirements of
science, and at the same time respect
the better sentiment of human nature.

BARBOZA STRIKES BACK.
The Restoration OF the Monarchy
in Brazil Is Impossible.

LISBON, Dec. 19.-Dr. Ruy Barboza,
Brazilian minister, in his denial of the
allegations in the recently published
manifesto of the Viscount de Ouro
Preto, says it is not true. as alleged by
Preto, that platoon of infantry was
held in readiness to shoot him while he
was in custody; and, also, that it is
false that Maracajn, the imperial min
lister OF war, was in any way traitor TO
Dom Pedro. He was dismissed by the
republic because he betrayed the
army and the country. DE Ouro
Preto's manifesto is designed
to deceive Europe. Brazil deteStS
PretO and the restoration of the mon
archy is absolutely impossible. The
diplomats and politicians around Pedro
usesi him as tool in the accomplish
ment of projects of which his unbiased
Judgment could never have approved.
The claims that certain European states
may interfere in the concerns of Brazil
are merely ridiculous. The continental
policy of the Western hemisphere on
that subject was seen in the history of
MexieOi and the virtue of that policy, it
is simple fact that Brazil is in often
Sive and defensive alliance with all
America. The national prosperity is
Increasing on grand scale. A com-
mission has been appointed to draft a
constitution and electoral laws, and the
provisional government will, in a few
days, decree religious freedom and civil
marriage. Absolute tranquility exists,
and the financial situation is assured.

Vile suffering From Influenza.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-PhysiciaRs say
that the number of cases of influenza in
the city is steadily increasing. No sta
tistics are available, as the board of
health pays no attention to the matter,
the ailment not being of q dangerous
character.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. ia number of
cases of influenza. distinct enough to be
readily recognizable, have attracted the
observation of local physicians in this
city. Interviews with several physi-
clans are presented. and the number of
cases is placed at about 100.
DETROIT. Dec. 19.-The Russian in
fluenZa has reached Detroit; and, curl
ously enough. only bank employees are
afflicted. This is attributed. however,
to the report that the microbes travel
in paper money; and, when the con-
tagious paper has been freely circulated
in the city, it is expected the disease
will become epidemic. AT the PENN
sular bank nine of the employees were
sick at one time. In the Preston Ma
tional there are four cases. The entire
staff of the First National has it, and
there are two cases in the Merchants
and Manufacturers bank. The symp-
toms are different in nearly every case.
In some it produces an "all-gone, tired
feeling" as one expressed it. while in
others the lining to the nose, mouth aud
throat is affected; still others have
cough. LameneSS is one of the general
points in which it shows up strong.

Quoted by Charles C. Sphinx last Noyem-
Der, is i'm WoodfawR. Cook county. HI,
according to the statement made by
Mr.. Sphinx in the court OF appeals this
morning. When Attorney Frank M.
Estes and William III. BrOutherS filed
petition for writ of habeas corpus III
the court of appeals, last Friday, an
Order Was issued commanding Charles
sphinx and John q. Taylor to produce
the body OF Alice Jackman in court
the next Thursday morning. No
one but Messrs. SPHINX and Taylor
knew OF the whereabouts of the girl.
but it was generally known that she was
not in the state: and, beng out of it,
tile gentlemen summoned would claim
they did not have the care or custody of
or control over her. These suppositiOHs
were correct. Charles SPHINX, by his at
torney, Joseph g. Lodge. filed reply TO
the summons, saying Alice Jackman
was not in his custody or under his con-
troll. He then admitted having had
Alice Jackman in his care during Il part
of November at the girls request, as she
was blood relation of Mrs. Charles
Sphinx; and again, on her request. sent
her to live with j. Il. Ives, at Wood
lawn, ILL.,, where she is receiving proper
care and attention. The return
made by Charles G. Spink, that
Alice Jackman is now in the hands of
MIR. Ives, of Woodlawn, ILL.,, is unques-
tionably correct. Mr.. Ives is IN the
grain business at Chicago. and Resides
at Woodlawn, suburb of that city. He
is the father of A. LII. Spink's former
wife. now deceased, and is all intimate
friend of the Sphinx family. When the
child was taken from the House Of the
Good Shepherd. she was taken to Chi
cago and soon placed in the care of Mr.
Ives. Everything appears to have been
made very pleasant for her there, for in
a letter to Mr. Taylor, her former guar
dian, she speaks glowingly of her new
home, and expresses herself as con-
tentfd and happy. The case will come
up for further action next Thursday.

FAILED To SHOW FRAUD.
The Duluth Land Case. Is Still
Dragging in the Interior Depart.

Hents
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. d. G., Dec. I9.-Highly
sensational details are expected tO-mor-
row at the hearing of the Daluth land
case before the commission in the in
terror department. The evidence to-
day was of dry nature and totally
failed to show any fraud. As the in
ypstigatiOn progresses it is evident that
the patent was issued by mistake of
clerk in the land Office who did not
examine sufficiently carefully all tho
documents affecting the case entering
Eddington's protest as an appearance.
Hence there was nothing on the books
against the Issue of the patent FORTH
with. The investigation may extend
this case. The evidence to-day showed
a tendency to bring up transaction of
last February and March, when section
so, township 65. range Ii, was opeAed
for settlement. Certain members OF
the Minnesota Iron company i'll some
way had the decision of the secretary OF
the interior Sent on 20 Duluth by special
messenger. Emil Hartmann, of Duluth,
suspected fraud and had the Duluth land
office notified by Secretary Villas to pay
10 attention to the decision in the hands
of the special messenger. The decision
then went by mail, and Hartmann &c

good impression as keen lawyer. In
all probability the case will drag on for

exceptions, they opposed his confrma-

cause OF some personal grievance that

PATIENTS In A PANIC.
Fire in a New York Hospital Does
100000 Damage.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10'-A fire broke
out tonight in Ward of the Presby-
terrain hospital. The fire started on the
fifth and top floor of the hospital, The
patients were removed from the build
ing in safety, and at 10 O'Clock the
fire was under, control. During its
son avenue side of the building
tell and four firemen were caught in
the debris and badly burned and
bruised. They are Capt. Duane and
HOSemen Dunbar, Leye and Ryer, of
engine 20. There were thirty patients
in the hospital. They were naturally
much alarmed, but the nurses succeed
eu in keeping order and caring prop
erly for all with the prompt
and efficient aid of the french and
police. The police also allowed
civilians to enter the building and aid
in the work of rescue. There were many
exciting scenes. The sick were carried
out on mattresses and taken across the
street to another building belonging to
the hospital. Some were also
taken into private houses in
the vicinity, and some into the
all of which threw their doors open.
The last patient was taken cut of the
upper story just before the wall and
ceiling fell, by which the four firemen
before mentioned were injured. After
the fire was over the patients who had
been taken 10 places of safety nearby,
were removed in ambulanceS to various
hospitals in the city. The fire was con-
fined in the upper floor, but the whole
interior of the building was damaged by
water. The damage will probably reach
100000.
Bessie Seeiey was the girl whose cos
tune was first ignIted by the wand. I'M
mediately the other girls gathered
around her and endeayored to extinguish
the flames. The result was that in
moment at least dozen terrified chill
dren were running wildly around the
room with their clothes ablaze. A
terrible scene ensued, the panic-strick-
en children ran from the room and
rushed wildly through the building
calling for help, but none was at
hand. Finally, however, the jani-
tor appeared and dashed pals of
water over some of them. The
janitOr's timely appearance undoubted-
" prevented the disaster from being
much more terrible in its results. Jen-
ME LankSkear mot Lancashire as pre-
yiously reported} was carried to house
near by, where it was found every
article of clothing with the except
ion of her shoes was burned from her
body. She fingered in the greatest
agony till death relieved her sufferings.
The number of seriously burned is now
put at eight, but it is not thought that
their injuries are necessarily fatal.
