GEN. FREMONT DEAD.

1t is a coincidence worthy of remark that
the day following the wedding of one
great explorer should have witnessed the
death of the other, last Sunday. Gen.
John Charles Fremont died at the advanc-
ed age of r. He was the first candidate
of the Republican party for the Presi-
dencv, Buchanan defeating him by ia out
of 2SS electoral votes. He was a dismal
failure as soldier, but, nevertheless, a
man of singular courage and wonderful
executive ability Gen. Fremont began
his career as an exploree and surveyor at
an early age, each undertaking a little
more extensive and difficult than the rest.
He made repeated trips across the plains
and over the Rocky Mountains and the
Sierras to the Pacific. In the interest of the
United States, and to his reports the first
settlement of the great West was due
His party was never large and their
escapes from death at the hands of saw
ages, from hunger and cold, were little
short of miraculous His energy was ex-
haustless and his love of adventure s D great
that he hardly allowed himself to recuper-
ate from one expedition before starting
upon another. In the past twenty-five
years he has not been prominent in public
affairs, devoting himself TO railroad build
ing. From the Texas Legislature he pro-
cured an important grant of land In aid of
the Memphis and Ell Paso Railroad, but
was prosecuted by the French Gov jrnment
for false claims made by the agents sent to
float the bonds in Paris, and finally relin-
qeished the enterprise. Gen. Fremont
was the author of many entertaining
works, and altogether one of the most pic
tureque figures of the present century.

Washington in Summer.

After May Washington is in all essen
tials Southern city. Houses change their
aspect both outside and inside, and a dis
tlnct SUMNER order reigns. Outside blinds
are hooked to house windows, awnings fend

spacious air to the interiors. Portieres,
curtains, and dust inviting articles disap-
pear, and furniture slips itself into cool
holland covers. The White House. the
public buildings undergo this change as
much as private houses, and the city is in
trim for Its long summer siege. The door
step becomes the drawIng-room after dim
ner, and every one follows this good South
ern fashion. The ladies wear white and
light wash dresses on the streets, in hotel
diningrooms, and everywhere else. as is
not done to the same extent in any East
ern city to the north of it. The open street
cars deal rheumatism, returns to la grippe,
and summer colds but those who become
seasoned to them and survive pronounce
them a summer blessing
A Washington house Is great response
bility through the summer to the owner
who does not care to or cannot be in it all
the year round. The most trusted servants,
the perfect treasures of buffers, have
furnished many sad and amusing stories by
their coolly turning handsome residences
into colored boarding-houses for the SUM-
mer. One Senator who left his house In
charge of a faithful man-servant was sud
denly called to Washington in deserted
summer, and found reunion of colored So
ciety on his doorstep, a colored pianist, vo-
calist, and several conversationalists enjoy
ing the drawing room, and quite the
comedy of The Bellies of the Kitchen being
played without foot-hghts.
The great floating population of the bet
ter class, the people without fixed homes

ward in the spring, who help fill the water
ing-paces in the summer, and at intervals
make long stays on the Pacific coast and in
Europe. 1t is the clearinghouse and the
pensions that they FIJI rather than the great
hotels, and to Washington they come III in
creasing numbers yearly. The greater pro-
portion of them are widows, and the wo-
men in mourning attire are two-thirds of
the whole class. For them June is too late
to stay in any of these Eastern cities, and
it is season Of loneliness, of carpenters,
and painters at the watering-places. 1t is
the tiding over of these June weeks which
sends half of them to Europe, where so ne
place is always ready, and is never out of
season, and the vagaries of the American
thermometer are never approached.

WOMEN DOCTORS.
They Possess Peculiar Aptitude for Re-
ieving Suffering.
Baltimore Sun

A prominent physician of Baltimore,
who is connected with the Woman Medi-
cal College, expresses biz views OF the mat
ter In favor of the STUDY Of medicine by
women. During the earliest period Of
the worlds history he said, ''the duties
of attending to the sick were assigned to
woman. History records instances of
successful practice by woman long prior to
the time when scientific thought and pre-
clslon had nodded a rational system OF
medicine. 1t is not uncommon to find In
women the strongest characteristics, will,
endurance, calmness under trial, strong
Judgment and practical intuition, all of
which would give a substantial value to her
services in the sick room.
The patience, gentleneSs and sympa-
thetic nature of woman have conquered for
her in the sick chamber a position both
honorable and useful. Whether In the
capacity of an attendant or nurse, or serv-
ing under the instincts of affection, the
ministrations of women ere regarded as
tender and appropriate. The sick room
offers an appropriate field for the action
of woman truest instincts, and when to
these qualities are added a scientific train
ing and knowledge Of the art of healing
diseases, it would seem, theoretically at
least, that woman s character had reached
high degree of usefulness in medical
career. AS late as 1850 the number of fe
male graduates In medicine could be count
ed on the fingers of one hand. To-day up
ward of 1000 American women hold a
medical degree. The movement has liter
ally conquered a position LII science and So
ciety, and one might as well attempt to
stay the progress of the tides as to endeavor
to arrest the reform which gives to woman
a useful sphere of action, a benevolent oc-
cupation and an opening to an honorable
livelihood.
in the beginning the effort upon the
part of women to secure a medical educa-
ton was trying one. The road which
the early female practitioner trod was rug
ged. There were sentiments, prediudices
and opinions presenting formidable bar
riers to progress, and woman knocked hard
for admission into the ranks of the medi
cal profession. Admission was at first de-
MED; it was next partially allowed. Now
the doors are open, and a medical educa-
ton is within the reach OF any woman who
seeks it. The future of this movement In
favor of female medical education and
practice will turn upon woman's skill.
knowledge and adaptability. She must
master the science; size must demonstrate
her adaptability to do scientific work; and
if she conquers the usual faillngs OF ner SEX
such as want of perseverance, of stead,
fast purpose, and her desire to make short
cut to prosperity by taking up fads,. so
to speak. instead of pursuing a practical
course of work. then [ see noreason why she
should not succeed in this progressive, lib
eral age.
