A COMMISSION NEEDED.

The press of the state is calling up
on the coming session of the Georgia
legislature TO establish commission
to regulate the charges of telegraph
and express companies.
They are public carriers as much 50
as the railroads, and it seems to us
they come under the same head. If
the railroads need commission of the
state to look after their charges
which they do need and have-the
express companies should he put
down in the same column and their
charges should be regulated in the
same way.
There is no complaint more com>
mon than that of the people about
charges by express companies. There
is a case in this town, says the Craw>
ford Herald, where a boxed musical
instrument weighing about ten pounds
was shipped by express over about 81
miles of their road and the charges
were sl.35. The owner of the pack
age complained to the agent of the
company, but has got no return of the
over charges, or even satisfactory
answer as to why the charges were
so steep.
It seems now that they charge what
they please, and an ordinary citizen
can say nothing about it that will be
OF any benefit to him or change the
course of the company.
As to the promptness of the execu-
ton of their work, we have nothing
tosay, but their charges generally are
outrageous, and some measures ought
to be taken to in some way give the
people-their patrons-a chance to
get some redress when they are over
charged.
The biggest trouble with the tele-
graph companies is, they do not deliver
their messages as promptly as they
should under the circumstances.
They charge what they please for a
message and then send it when they
please.
1t is under stood that a telegram is
to be sent at once, but they are not
done so every time.
We think a wise and considerate
law governing these things, followed
up by commission, would be great
and needed help to the people at
large. Can't our legislature do some-
thing for their helpless constituency
in this linz?

Miss Louise Shepard was down town
shopping u few days ago in quite an
original walking gown. The material
was a soft gray cloth, embroidered in
bold scroll designs in silver for the
space of half yard up from the hem,
about which was a dark blue velvet
band. The skirt was cut appreciably
longer behind than in front, having, in
fact, very slight plated train. Over
the tailor bodice was worn cape of
gray velvet of darker shade than the
gown. This cape had a ruche of gray
ostrich feathers at the throat and was
lined with dark blue satin. The special
feature of this little wrap was the fact
That it was held in place on the figure
by velvet suspenders from the shoulders,
these meeting in points at the waist
back and front and fastening to a belt
with silver buckle. Miss Shepard
looked as if instead of plain waist she
were wearing under her cape bodice
trimmed with bretelles.-New York

The proposal to admit women to the
examination for the Oxford degree of
bachelor of medicine was warmly con-
tested in congregation. The degree itself
would not have been conferred upon
them if they had been admitted only
mention would have been made of their
nominal place in the list of successful
candidates. The opposers to the admls-
sion of women base their objections upon
these undesirable conditions: First, the
substitution proposed in the examina-
4 ton of women of modern languages for
Latin and Greek, which would cause dis
satisfaction on the part of men subjected
to more severe tests. In the opinion of
/ Professor T. Case Latin and Greek are a
necessity to the medical student, as
without them the language of medicine
/ could not be used correctly or under
stood when used by others.
4 Secondly, it is not deemed advisable
to disturb the arrangements and pro
visions already made for the medical in
struction of women in various schools
established for that purpose, and which
have furnished to the public competent,
noble women practitioners, The adj
mission of women to Oxford would have
"a tendency to lessen the general respect
for those practitioners who have obtained
their education only in woman's school
Last and most serious of all objections, in
the language of Professor Case, sit is not
only unnecessary but positively improp-
err to initiate, educate, or examine young
women in the essentially delicate subject
of disease and medicine surrounded by
men in university of men," and also
that the indiscriminate admixture of the
sexes at operations given in collegiate
demonstrations is regarded by men with
undisguised disgust. The instruction
given in women's schools has been prov
en- to be so thoroughly efficient as to pro
hibit the necessity Of women entering
the schools set apart for men, and so long
as men are not admitted to women's
schools women should not seek to enter
those belonging to men.

During divine services on a recent
Sunday, bear, which had escaped from
the stable of u neighboring public house,
in which its owner, travelling show
man was located, entered chapel, near
Mortlake, England. Women shrieked
and children cried, and there was gen
eral rush for the door. The bear, round
whose neck was thick chain, made its
way to the empty choir stalls, where it
lay down. The minister, whose high
and commodious pulpit had suddenly be-
come occupied by several female mem
beers of his congregation, was in the
midst of his discourse at the time of the
animals appearance, and had chosen for
his text the words BE not afraid" The
sermon was brought to an abrupt terrni-
naSon The anxiety Of pastor aud peo-
pie was set at rest by the arrival of the
owner of the animal The bear was got
out of the chapel with ease and taken
back to its quarters.
