question whether quarantine will

is the proper official and knows what

PROFESSIONAL INTOLERANCE.

Tho Extreme Length to Which It Was
Carried in Pennsylvania.
1t has long been known that the medical
profession deprecates any kind of news
paper advertising except the kind that is
given free, and that its members are prompt
to denounce as 'quacks" any doctors who
seek to hold communication with their fell
low-men through the medium Of the public
prints; but 1t has remained for the State
Medical Society OF Pennsylvania, at its
session just concluded, to ostracize mem
Der because a daily paper saw tit TO publish
his essay, accompanied by his portrait.
So far as can be learned from the pub
lished accounts, the publication was
stroke of enterprise on the part of the
newspaper, and there is no evidence be-
yond an inference that the doctor procured
or even consented TO the publication. Many
mans speech has been published against
his will. and it may have been so 10 this
case; but, however this may be, certain of
his fellow-members saw fit to make a great
commotion about his "abuse of privilege"
as they called il. The unfortunate author
was denounced in public and abused in
private. and 1T last the Convention. in his
absence, decided by vote of two to one to
omit his essay from the regular report of
their proceedings, simply because it was
published i'll newspaper.
We do not commiserate the gentleman
who has suffered all this contumely. We
do not think he needs commiseratiOn. His
enemies have been obliging enough to give
him fiEst-class boom, aud if he has any
ambition they have done their best to
crafty it. The omission of hi S essay from
the proceedings of the society, where it
would have been buried, will insure its
being read by hundred persons for every
one that would have read it if nothing had
been said about it. The whole hubbub

against whom it was directed.
But We are sorry for this evidence that
the bigotry and intolerance of the Middle
Ages are still eXtant among the doctors Of
this enlightened commonwealth. Some
body ought to go and tell the State Medical
Society that this is the closing decade of the
nineteenth century, not the fifteenth

LONDON CABS.
How They Started and Rapidly In
craased.

How They Started and Rapidly In
creased.
The fast times in which we live hardly
remember that "cabs," especially hanson
cabs, are almost modern invention, and
that but little while ago the London
which is now served by about 1900 hack
ney carriages was destitute of any of it.
1t is true that the history of public car
riages goes back a very long way into the
remote distance. For instance, carriages
of a kind were to be hired in
Rome under the Emperors. The word
carriage" is probably to be traced in the
Latin carruca. During the middle ages,
however, they ceased to be used, for in con-
sequence of feudal customs and feudal au-
thority they were prohibited as likely to
enervate men aud render them unfit for
military service. Such fear suggests
kind of parallel between the old and new
ways of training athletes.
The reuascence of public carriages may
be dated from the reign of Louis XIV, and
was due at that time to a certain Nicolas
Savage. who, living at the sign OF st.
Fiacre in the Rue st. Martin, gave the name
of his dwelling to the modern French iiacre.
Oddly enough as it may seem, hackney
coaches were first established in London
in 1925 by a retired sea CAPTAIN named
Bailey, who was n man of ingenious
mind and enterprising. His vehicles used
to stand at the MAY Pole" in the
Strand, and numbered no more than four.
But they were found so convenient. and
were so patrO1iZed that they grew rapidly.
In 1857 there were fifty, in 1862 200, in 1864
300 From time to time regulations were
made limiting their numbers: but as the
French Kings could not stay the growth of
Paris, and as Mrs. PaTtingtou failed with
the Atlantic, the tide of hackney carriages
was not to be hindered and, all laws not
withstanding, continued to flow.
Yet, in spite of the rapid increase in the
number of these coaches, there was for q
long time little Improvement in their form.
1t was not until 1920 that the French .'cabri-
olet de place." whence comes our abbrevi-
ated and familiar .cab," was introduced
into England from the other side of the
channel In shape it was a kind of hooded
gig, and allowed no more than one passen-
ger. as the driver sat inside. But change
was coming. In 1884 the gondola OF Lon
don, the hanson cab. was patented by Han
som, and by its superiority it came rapidly
to the front.
In 1888 there were 1896 hansoms and 4013
GROWERS" or four-wheelers. technically
described by the police as clsrences, and

BEER IN A SUGAR REFINERY.
How NIr. Hsvemeyer Corrected n Great
Ahuse In His E.cfnrx.

How Mr. Hsvemeyer Corrected Great
Abuse I'm His Fsctory.
For long time the owners of the big
sugar reinerieS that line the river front in
Williamsburg were at a loss to discover
some plan to prevent their workingmen
from drinking so much beer as to incapaci-
tate them from work. At noon, when the
hands were given an hour for dinner, many
returned the worse for their libations, and
not infreQuently some of them failed
to show up for the afternoons work.
The superintendent ScOlded the offenders,
fined them. and sometimes tried the moral
effect of an occasional discharge, but all to
no purpose. The matter was at last brought
to the attention Of Henry o. Havemeyer, of
Havemeyer " Elder. and he suggested Il
remedy that, without depriving the men of
their beer, insures their Attendance in
working hours. He arranged with a neigh
boring brewery to bring supply of the
foamng beverage into his refinery and to
serve it out the men several times in the
day. On payday each of the men receives
twenty-fodr beer checks for the week, each
good for pound Of beer at cents a pound.
These are charged against the mems wages.
Ths pound is equal to one of those big
f0amlng Scho0ners one sees In the BoWery
beer saloons. and when a superheated sugar
worker wants one of these he deposits his
check in a tin pail and boy brings him the
beer fresh from the keg.
When the men come to work in the morn
ing they are not allowed to leave the prem
ises until work is over at night. They bring
their dinners and can wash it down with
Accent schooner. When the hour is up they
are on hand freshened for the afternoons
work. The men at first objected, but now
they are perfectly satisfied. They have as
much beer as is good for them, make a full
days work, and are saving money.-St.

The Streets the Mournful Procession
Used TO Pass Through.
A neyer-ending procession of victims,
says the Saturday Review, passed down the
Rue ST. Honore TO the Palace de la Revolu-
ton. ci-devaut place Louis XIV, where the
principal guillotine had been erected.
There were guillotines, however, in several
other parts of the city, and it was no IN
common matter for person going out shop
ping in the morning TO meet with three or
four professions of unhappy beings pro-
ceeding to execution. A well-organiZed
band of furies usually accompanied them.
shouting and bowling insults and cries of
DEATH" Early in 1884 protests were made
by residents along the lines of route to the
guillOtines that sensitive persons were be-
ginning to avoid those streets. and that this
did great harm to their commerce. They
therefore petitiOned that the routes should
be at least occasionally changed. Later on
another request was made to the National
Assembly concerning the unhealthy condi-
ton of the Place de la Revolution, literally
STEPPED in blood, which emitted q horrible
and dangerous stencil.
Strange, however, as 1t may seem, many
OF these executions, notably those OF inl-
portant persOnages, were attended by great
numbers of apparently respectable people.
and the Moniteur contained many adver-
tisements to the effect that ''So-and-so hires
out chairs to witness the guillotining of,
say, Louis, XVI or Nine. Roland, or in
deed of any conspicuous person, at SO
much an hour" A contemporary en-
craving representing the execution of
Louis XVI shows up a crowd of we'll
dressed people. comfortably seated in their
chairs, placed on high and well-buil
wooden stand, and not a few of them are
using their OPERA glasses. Duval is shocked
when he records that during the massacres
of September on dansait en- banlieue. In
fact, the gay and volatile nature of the
Parisians could not be suppressed, and
some by no means badly intentioned peo-
pie made a sort Of fete of the tragic events
which were perpetually occurring.

PETTY PILFERERS.
A Gang of Grocery Thieves Finally
Broken Up.

During the past month numerous complaints
have been made to the Chief of Police by whole
sale merchants IN the section east OF Montgom-
cry street and extending to the water front about
the operations OF gang Of petty thieves. Day
after day small thefts were committed, now Ia
one quarter and again in another. Watch was
kept by different merchants, but without avail;
the pifering OF butter, ham, eggs aud Tea still
went on.
Captain Lees put three detectives on the case,
and for the last two weeks lney have been devot.
Ing all their energies to eiectlng the capture Of
the gang. The efforts OF the detectives have
been crowned with success, not only as regards
the thieves, and a breaking up OF the gang, but
also in the recovery Of larger part OF tue stolen
property.
The detectives soon discovered that there was
gang at work committing the ihefts, but II was
some time before The members were spotted. !"
1t was discovered that the thefts were committed
at all hours, ana that three men were concerned
in The operations. Two Of the gang operated on
the stores, While the Third acted as receiver and
disposed Of the stolen property. The detectives
recovered little by little portions OF me plIereu
| wares, and finally obtained evidence enough 10
| locate and capture the whole gang.
The three men were arrested last night and
placed on the "smal book" No charge has as
yet been placed against their names, The detect
ives being still engaged In working up evidence
against them.
Captain Lees stated last night that there was
already sufficient evidence 10 convict the mem
bers OF the gang. who certainly worked their
game very smoothly.
Among the stores from which property was
stolen were the following: Two boxes of tea
from California and Davis streets; eight hams
from California street, between Montgomery
and Kearny; Two boxes eggs from The sidewalk
on Market street, opposite the Palace hoteli
three hams from Sacramento street, between
Davis aud Drnmm; Two sacks OF potatoes from
Davis and California streets; Two SACKS OF pOta-
Toes and one box of eggs from Battery street,
between Washington and Clay; one box OF eggs
from Sacramento and Front streets.
The detectives have also recovered large
amount of groceries stolen from parties I'M
known. They request that the owners come
forward aud make their losses known. Ii is
thought thai many merchants have been robbed
In small amounts besides those mentioned and
have not said anything about their losses on &C.
count of the small value of the articles.
There is almost enough unclaimed property
recovered by the detectives TO stock q grocery
store.

Some Interesting Information Furnis h ID
by a Recent Report.

Some Interesting Information Furnished
by Recent Report.
Though the fact that the data given are
those of 1885 initiates somewhat against its
interest, the report on "The Growth of
Manufactures, issued by the Bureau of
Statistics of Labor, has, nevertheless, a
decided value, from the great variety of in
formation brought into a convenient
compass for reference. The history
of manufacturing 10 the State of Massa-
chusetts is divided into three periods
that previous to 1915, that of transit
ton from 1915 to the close of 1880, and
thirdly, the fifty years from 1880 to the date
of tabulatiOn. In 1885 the combined prod
ucts of agriculture and the fisheries and the
income from commerce amounted TO but
SCI, 134, 600, while the products of manu-
featuring and mechanical industries were
valued at S674, 634 269 OF the %, 431 firms and
corporations covered by the enumeration.
and making up the total for the State, nine
teen were established between 1886 and 100
| and thirty-four between 1701 and 1870. An
establishment which dates back to 1886 has
a remarkable antiquity for the United
States, aud a very respectable one for any
country, since 1t antedates the Bank of
England by more than half a century. At
ter 1880 the rapid development of manufact-
uring in Massachusetts gave a great impe-
tus to the establishment of firms and cor
pOratiODs; 705 were started between 1881 to
1870 From 1866 to 1870 1896 were estab-
lished, but this record is left behind by
the period 1SS1-S5, whence 1885 dated the
beginning of their careers. The report
cautions readers against the haSty assump-
ton that the establishments, % 49,, existing
IN 1885, include all of the % 22S existing ten
years before. and comparisons are there
fore between sets of aggregates of periods.
Summarized the value of goods made and
work done in 1875 was S52S, SIS, 634. aud
| S674, 634, 2G9 in 1885. The proportion of
firms to corporations is thus given in the
| report
In 1885 the private firms represented
$685. per cent of the whole number of es-
adjustments engaged in manufacturing
| and mechanical industries in the State,
1884 per cent of partners and stockholders,
SO. "a per cent of the total amount of capital
invested, 63.52 per cent of the total value of
stock used, CHS per cent of the total value
of goods made and work done, 81 50 per
cent of the whole number of persons en-
ployed during the census year, and 6331
per ceut of the total wages paid during the
same period. The percentages for cOrpo-
ratiOns exceed those for private firms in
but two particulars-in the number of
stockholders as compared with the num-
Der of partners, and in the amount of
capital invested.-Boston Transcript.
