be completed by the postoflce depart

To tho Public.

In view of the fact that the charges
which have heretofore been made by
the practicing physicians of Roanoke
have been lower than the customary
charges elsewhere in cities of like size;
all OF the physicians OF Roanoke
deem it proper and just that the pro-
posed schedule should prevail here in
justice to ourselves, and no imposition
upon our patrons, especially as the
proposed charges are still below those
in many other towns of the state. The
city of Roanoke has become to such
an extent a city of magnificent dis
tances,n that it involves more expense
and time than formerly to attend its
inhabitants; all therefore have mutu-
ally agreed to adhere to the following
tariff of fees, and as all have subscrib
ed their names thereto, it will be re
garded a breach of faith and unpro-
fessional conduct to violate the same,
and it will be SO regarded by all other
physicians.
The following is the list of charges
to 90 into effect from February the
Goth, 1890
For day visit in corporate limits
$3.50.
For night visit after p II. SO 90
For prescription at Office S1.O0.

reports that no French armed force landed
at Sandy Point. A French naval officer,
armed with his sword, accompanied by one
man. went ashore and read his notice to the
people. The Colonial Secretary has re-
ceived telegram from the "Prefeet Apostle
lic." stating that the French were acting
within their rights 10 reading the notice and
ordering the nets taken up.
Among the the passengers by the steamer
Caspian from st. Johns, was Rev. Father
Guilla. In an interview, he said the fisher
men at Sandy Point, st. Georges Bay, are
much excited over the manner In whi n they
had been treated by the French. The day
before the Caspian sailed the schooner Ro-
yer, Captain Graham, while fishing OF St.
Georges, was hailed by a boat from q
French man-of-war and ordered to take In
her nets. Captain Graham refused TO obey
and the French deliberately pulled
the fishing gear from the water.
Rev. Father Hawley interviewed the COM
mander Of the French vessel and got him 10
refrain from further action until the st.
Johns delegation on the other side trying to
settle the question are heard from. A num-
