The Medical College Decision.

We print in another column today
almost the entire text of Judge
Knapp's decision in the matter OF the
SO called Medical College of New Jer-
sey. 1t seems to US to leave the local
Board OF Health clothed with very
dangerous powers.
The case came before the Court on
the application of one Kirchgessner
for a mandamus to compel the Hud-
son County Board of Health to regis
ter him as a qualified physician on
the strength of a diploma received
from the fake college. The Court re-
fuses the mandamus and incidentally
complains of the mass of testimony
taken and submitted touching the
standing of the college. The judge
rules that the court had not authority
10 review the facts with the possible
purpose Of reversing the Board OF
Heairh's judgment upon them.
Now we have not the least doubt
but substantial justice was done in

PRISON FOR WOMEN ONLY.
Female Criminals Cared for in
Venice by Sisters of Charity.


In the English magazine the Rev.
Alexander Robertson publishes an
account of a prison for women in
Venice, which he recently visited, and
about which hardly anything has
ever been written. IL stands on the
flowery and healthy Guideca Island,
which is separated from the rest Of
the city of Venice by a broad arm of
the lagoon. The visitor was taken by
q lay Sister to the prison matron. who
has been in the service for tbirty-five
years, and who said that eighteen Sis
ters managed the whole establish
ment, keeping in order, teaching and
maintaining at daily labor 250 female
criminals, large proportion of whUm
had been guilty of infanticide.
The matron conducted the visitor
over the establishment. and explained
its management. In the early morn
ing the prisoners go to the recreation
court to get fresh air, after which they
attend religious service. and then take
breakfast. They are largely employed
at lace work in making scarfs, shawls
and dresses, in which they display
great skill, and for which they are
paid a small daily wage. Most OF the
prisoners were young, their agesvary-
ing from seventeen to twenty-five, and
all of them looked we'll, and
took an interest in their work.
The workshops, or schoolrooms, as
they are called, are big, clean and
airy. In one of them some of the
prisoners were working embroidery;
In another some were knitting or do
ing coarse sewing; in another some
were winding silk for the lacemakeIs
or weaving cloth for the inmates gar
ments. The kitchen opens into a
court, beyond which is garden. The
matron, pointing to the head cook,
said;--''She is imprisoned for life for
the murder of her husband
The whole of the $50 criminals take
their meals together in large pillar
ed hall. The breakfast is of coffee,
soup and bread, with wine for the
hard workers, and the supper of veg
etables, fruit, bread and cheese. On
meat and wine. The dormitories are
large and we'll ventilated, and the
beds clean and comfortable. In the
uOSpitdl Msiuo pdeiShto diO pohuOAty
nursed. There are six solitary cells
for obstreperous prisoners, but they
are hardly ever used.
The Rev. Mr.. Robertson says that
those who leave this Venetian prison
do so, as a rule, improved in their
whole being, to lead afterward lives
of honesty and usefulness. In the
prison they have received instruction,
have been taught a trade, and have
been brought under moral influences.
From the standpoint of economy, the
administration of the prison is excel
lent. Each prisoner costs the govern
ment only about twenty cents per
day. 1t is managed entirely by few
Sisters of Charity.

this case. We have never thought
the course of the alleged medical col
lege was such as to entitle its gradu
ates to take human life and health in
their hands. We have been with the
Board OF Health throughout the
struggle, and OF course we are pleased
to see the Court rule adversely to the
college.
But the discovery that the Courts
cannot review the evidence regarding
the fitness of an applicant for registry
as a practising physician is certainly
alarming. 1t seems to leave no re-
course against stupidity, prejudice or
even malice on the part of the
County Board. BE it understood
we do not for moment ques-
tion the judges law. neither
do we for moment suggest that ou
present excellent Board OF Health is
capable of any misconduct. We
merely raise the question, as a matter
of abstract interest, whether County
Boards Of Health are, or were at the
time of this proceeding-for the estab-
lishnent of the State Medical Board,
has put new complexion on the
whole affair-tribunals of last resort.
Perhaps the remedy was by writ of
certiorari Assuredly the law must
have allowed some appeal to the
courts.

Mystery of woman's Body With Dislo-
Gated Neck.

Mystery of woman's Body With Dislo-
Gated Neck.
Special TO the Jersey CITY Nelrs.
CAMDEN, July Z, 1s91.-This city Of
murders has another mystery to solve.
This time it is the discovery of the body
Of well dressed, fine looking woman Of
about thirty-fve years, whose form was
found yesterday morning lying in the
long grass along the river shore at the
head of Eighth street, in the upper sec
tion OF the city, near tine ship yards.
The body was discovered by workmen
on Powelps farm, who were at work cut
ting the weeds along the river shore. The
Coroner was notified and the body was
removed to the County Morgue, where 1t
now lies.
The woman was dresseed in a black
dress with velvet sleeves, black stockings
and button CATERS, and she wore pecu-
liar shaped ring on the left hand, resem-
bling q hook-and-eye. In her pocket there
was found ST. 81 in money, but there was
nothing by which her identity could be
esta blished.
An examination by Coroner Smiley re-
vealed the fact that her neck was dIslo-
Gated, aud one leg appeared to be frac-
tured. but no other marks OF violence
were discernible by an external examina-
tion. The body had not, from general ap-
pearances, been in the water but short
time, and the affair is shrouded in mys-
terry. The Coroner will hold an inquest.

Promptness at meals is a virtue of
which absence has caused deep
anguish of spirit to countless, long
suffering housewives. The tardiness
at breakfast from indulgence in last
nap, or at luncheon from a too pro-
tracted shopping expedition, or at din
ner from an over extended round of
calls, may seem trifle to the delin-
quent, but H07per's BdzGr reminds
sinners in this respect that to the
housekeeper it means injury to the
food and disturbance of her own piece
of mind. The habit of always being
ready when ameal is announced should
be especially binding upon a guest.
For one who is receiving the hospital
ity of home to requite it by disre-
garding its customs is the extreme of
i'll breeding Conformity to the rules
of the house in this respect, and in the
particular of NOT presenting ones self
in the drawing room at an uncanny
hour in the morning, should be OBJ
served by all visitors. while the duty
of being always on time when invited
to take drive or to go to some enter
tainment would seem too obvious to
be mentioned were it not that one
sees this unwritten law so constantly
violated.
