WOMEN As DOCTORS.

The world moves. Until genera
ton ago woman doctor was hard
lv known within the circle of the
regular medical profession, and they
were looked upon in every commun-
ity as charlatans or cranks. The
prejudice against their entering the
medical profession was almost uni
versal, and strange as it may seem,
the prejudice of women against their
own Sex in a profession for which
they should be specially fitted and in
which they are specially needed, was
even more profound than the same
prejudice among the sterner sex. But
steadily, although slowly, public
sentiment has advanced to accord to
women the obviously just right of
entering any of the professions, and
women now practice both law and
medicine in every section of the
country.
The progress of the age in advanc-
ing to their just rights in the battle
of life was impressively illustrated in
the Academy of Music during the
last week, when forty-two young
women appeared upon the stage as
graduates of the Woman's Medical
college Of this city with their fairly
won titles of Doctors Of Medicine. 1t
is ratifying to know that this col
lege has been in existence forty years;
but it is only within the last score of
years that it has been able to present
anything approaching graduating
class respectable in numbers. Now
women practitioners are not only
known but respected in almost every
community, and the success they
have attained in the profession more
than justifies the great battle that
was fought to win for them open
doors to distinction in the profession.
1t will seem strange to the readers
of history half century hence, to
learn that women were excluded
from the professions of the country
until even after the noon-tide of the
nineteenth century, for there is little
reason to doubt that in much less
than half century women physicians
will fairly divide the medical practice
with their professional brethren, and
men physicians, in the many cases in
which every consideration of delicacy
should prefer a woman physician,
will be quite a uncommon as women
were a generation ago. Phila del-

his life on charge of man slaughter
down near Quintero. He had been
running a passenger train and had
had the misfortune to kill a man
walking on the track He had been
in jail for several months and finally
Minister Osborne, who was then in
Mexico, succeeded in having his case
called for trial. Now, the Mexicans
never listen to expert testimony.
They might hear you and me in our
own defense, but unless we could cor
roborate testimony by some tangi-
BILE support like physical substantial
ton we would cut but poor figure.
In the case refer to the authorities
insisted upon having the engineer re-
produce precisely the condition of
affairs which led to the accident.
Accordingly the railroad company
had to rig up a train of cars precise
ly like that in which the accident oc-
Cured. 1t had to be loaded with
just as many people as the original
train had on board. 1t had to have
the same engine and be taken to the
precise spot where the accident &C
occurred. A dummy figure was pre-
pared to stand in the spot where the
man was killed Then the jury were
to get on the train and the admins
rador de justicio" was to take seat
in the cab and observe the efforts OF
the engineer to stop it in time.
Now the engineer who was demon
strating the problem was friend of
the man on trial. He intended to
show the administrator" something
he had never before seen. The idea
was to take the train over the same
track. They went up the road
about five miles and they switched to
come back for the object lesson. The
dummy was set up on the the track.
The administrator" took his place
his body out to better observe the
figure, for he was to give the signal
when to stop. The engineer let her
out with grin. He was not sup
posed to travel more than 80 miles
an hour, but when the "admlnistra-
dor" waved his hand to check her
man on the track he was going
so. The fireman pulled the whistle,
the engineer sprang to his reverse
lever, and his sand box and gave her
all the air there was in the pump.
In less than a second the "adrninis-
trador de justicio' was out of the
window into the ditch with a
broken ankle, the jury in the first
passenger car was piled into a pro-
miscuous mass, the buffer couplers
were smashed, the stove was upset
and yet the momentum was so great
I. L.
and knocked it 20 feet in the air.
The result OF that object lesson was
that the administrator" lay in bed
for six weeks, the engineer was ac-
Quilted and the jury petitioned the
legislature of Choacan for a change
in the laws.-[Chicago Herald.

Mr.. Patterson tried to keep his ar

made his appearance to some of the
local capitalists interested in the deal.
Work will be commenced on the de-
velopment of the mineral interests in
the strip, which is thirty-eight miles
long and thirteen miles wide at once.
The unlimited capital secured by Mr..
Patterson in England and Belgium
