a New York doctor has discovered
that carelessness in his practice is not
excusable because he did not expect to
get his pay. The court held him guilty
Of malpractice just the same for the pau
per as for the millionaire patient. That
is law and justice, but rather bitter med
icine for the doctor.

Those who expected that the big war
vessels would be tested in actual conflict
this year, on account of the Mafis
trouble, will be disappointed. Italy
navy will not venture any farther from
home than the Mediterranean sea.-No;
the trouble is all with Italy and not the
United States. Italy will soon be apol-
ogIzing.
An absurd case came before the Ninth
criminal court of Paris recently. A chem
list some time ago made some imitation
bank notes to prove the possibility of
initiating new issue. For this the Bank
of France is now trying to prosecute him.
The case IS adjourned to some future
date. If the notes we're properly dated,
dates to doughnuts that he will be more
sedate in future.

An abbreviated bathing suit has caused
the expulsion of lady from the Presby-
terrain church in New York. IL all the
churches follow this example the religi-
GUS returns tor 1891 will show marked
decrease. The case is particular inter
esting as showing great reformation
among the elders. Good thing TO see
these candidates for the front row in
ballet show branching out this way.

The report is going the rounds Of the
press that the shortage of the wheat crop
in France, Germany and other European
countries is estimated at 20, 600, 0OObush-
els instead of 2O,000, 600 quarters, which
means 100. OOO, 900 bushels. This means
larger demand and higher prices for
the full crop which is promised through
out the winter wheat belt.-Goo for the
American farmer. He will get chance
/ at last.

A Leadville jury recently, becoming
disguised at the sass administered to
themselves, as we'll as the lawyers and
witnesses, by the judge, ordered the
sheriff to lock the latter up for couple
of weeks, and. to His Honor's great ex-
asperation, he was incontinently lugged
off to Jail and placed in durance vile.
while the case went on smoothly with the
most popular barkeeper in town occupy
ing the Judicial chair. - That was
change of administration, so to speak.
Cigars and liquids for the court, as it

Abyssinia declines to accept Italy's in
terpreta:ion of the clause in the treaty
between the two countries which pro-
vldes that all diplomatic negotiations in
which Abyssinia may engage shall be
conducted through Italy. A russian
embassy is now. on its way to Abyssinia,
and Russia has notified Italy, in so many
words. that any interference with it will
be considered a cause of war. King
Humbert's government seems to have q
happy faculty for getting into trouble
these days. Yes, and the king himself
IS as much to blame for itas anyone else.
