The Common Sense of the Subject.
From the Chicago Tribune
As a general rule a newspaper favors the
cause Of the man who advertises. if his adver-
uotS uOt ROOu tdste anu pubic
propriety, and from this point of view alone
the Tribune is disposed to defend Dr. Brinker-
hoff, young practitioner who has been dropped
by the College of Physicians aud Surgeons be-
cause he has advertised his special line of
practice i'll the public papers. But, apart from
this, why should the profession longer retain this
old and absurd custom of not allowing its mem
beers to advertise? In the case of DIR. Brnker-
hoff. for instance, the Tribune has been in
formed by one of the most prominent citizens
OF Chicago that lie has been completely cured
OF a most painful disease which other physicians
had been unable to remove, by the Doctor and
that he was induced to apply to him by reading
his advertisement Probably others can give
the same testimony. Why then should ply
stefan who has made 4 special study of some
form of disease and finds a special remedy for
it. or has special skill in treating it, be debarred
from announcing that fact in a modest adver-
tisement? Why should he be prevented from
making the fact public? One can readily un-
deretand why self-laudation and brazen puffery
should be debarred, for that is the trick of
quacks, but puffery is one thing and a simple
announcement of the speciality which the ply
stefan feels qualified to treat Is another. The
purpose of an advertisement is to bring those
who want something in contact with those who
have that something to dispose of. Tho physi-
clans advertisement would answer the same
purpose The patient wants to be healed. The
advertisement would acouaint him with the
doctor who could heal him and who had the
skill to deal with his special case. This is not
puffery or quackery. On the other hand it
looks very much like humanity

ing with a corpse. At the coroner's in

FOR CHILD MURDER.
A Sensational Trial in Which Domestic
and Clergyman Figures.

a sensational TrI8l In which u DOmest
and Clergyman Figures.
BosToN, April 15.--Kate Cleary, young
unmarried woman, is being tried at Ded-
ham to-day for child murder
She was domestic in the family of
prominent New Hampshire cler gy-
man. and since her Imprisonment she
has made affidavit that the father of
the child which she is accused of muir
dering was this same clergyman. His
name will be made public tomorrow.
The girl says that as soon as he learned
of her condition, as a result of their
relations, he removed with his family
to Washington Territory.
The man was formerly a Roman Cath
Ollie priest, and after denouncing that
faith he entered the Congregational
Church and became an active worker in
its ranks. He did suddenly leave his
New Hampshire congregation last year
and go to Washington Territory. The
girls testimony will perhaps reveal the
causes that led to his departure.

CHICA0O'S STRIKE STILL ON.
Trouble Expected Over the Employment
fNon-Union Carpenters.

CHICAGO April 15.-The industrial
situation here is fast becoming critical
over the carpenters strike. Should the
fight continue another week its effect
will be to throw 150, 900 men out of en-
ployment, as there will be nothing for
bricklayers, hod carriers, fathers, plast-
erers, painters. and the vast army of
laborers who find work in connection
with building associations to do, and
they must all wait for the settlement of
the carpenters trouble before they can
resume operations.
AT the strikers headquarters on
Washington street there is very little
excitement, but the men are apparently
very comfortable over the situation.
II see the masters intend putting men
to work." said Secretary Howard. Just
let them import lot of non union men
and attempt to put them on building
where there are union bricklayers, and
you will see one of the tallest strikes
Chicago ever had. The bricklayers Will
join us if any such attempt is made, and
then there will be fun"
President Goldie of the Boss Carpen-
ters Association said: I'VE expect
the strikers to attempt intimidation,
but the first man who molests or inter
feres in any way with carpenters at
work will be arrested"
The following telegram was received
by the strikers from President Com
pers of the American Federation of La
bor.-"Convey to carpenters congratu-
lations upon the noble stand which they
have made. The American Federation
of Labor sends greeting and will aid in
the struggle. Hold the banner of eight

WAITING FOR DEATH.
Kemmler the Murderer Now Spends Most
of His limo in Prayer.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 15.-The case Of
William Kemmler, the Buffalo muir
derer, came up in the Supreme Court
yesterday for the last time, when Dis
trict-Attorney Rich, in behalf of Attor-
ney-General Tabor, made formal mo-
ton to make the judgment of the Court
of Appeals the judgment of the Su-
preme Court. Justice Dwight. who
presided, entered the required order.
kemmler was not present the court
not deeming his presence necessary.
The condemned man seems to have
experienced religion in earnest, and
now spends most of his time in prayer.
He expressed desire to see a minister,
and at his request the prison officials
sent for the Rev. c. A. Houghton, pas
tor of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, who visited him and prayed
with him for some time. DR.. Houghton
will visit Kemmler daily until the end.

ORDERED TO SEA.
The Alert to be Sent to behring's Sea
at Once.

at Once.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Orders have
been issued by Secretary Tracy to have
the Alert, now at Mare Island Navy
Yard, California, put in repair with a
view of sending to sea at once The
destination of the Alert is the Behring's
Sea, where she will cruise all summer
and fall in protecting the seal fisheries
of the United States in Arctic waters.
The Alert is bark-rigged, carries four
guns and about 100 men and Is of about
1000 tons displacement. She is a rapid
mover, and will be, it is thought, a
valuable aid to the Pinta and Thetis in
protecting American interests in and
about the seal island.
This action in sending three men-of-
war to Behring's Sea, taken in connection
with the recent proclamation of the
President warning all persons against
tresspassing in American waters, is re-
garded here as an evidence of a firm de-
termination to prevent enoroachment
on American seal fisheries this summer.
Each vessel will carry all the mon she
can so as to be able to send to port any
prize seizures that may be captured.

there is a strong probability of a big

ground that it refuses to complete its
