Oh young physici' 0hich comes to
maturity about thNDdmo of year, has
sarouscd the curious statistician to do
some figuring on their prospects. He
says, notes the New Orleans Picayune,
that there are educated in this country
about twice as many clergymcn as
lawyers, and about twice as many
physicians as clergymen, which makes
about four physicians to ever: SSwyer.
The United States has more physicians
to the population than any other coun-
try. In 1880 there was u physician to
every 600 inhabitants, whereas in
England there was one physician to
every 1000, in France one TO every
5000 and in Germany one to $500. In
certain parts of the United States the
doctoraVere even more plentiful than
the ratio for the whole country indi-

and i'll smaller places in the State ono
to 260. In 1878 the entire number
of medical students in this country was

1t is said that the Austrian authori-

1t is said that the Austrian authori-
ties are very much concerned about
the constant heavy immigration from
their territories, and are doing all they
can to check it by publishing harrow
ing accounts of the miseries undergone
by their emigrants in foreign countries
They have lately published state
ment to the effect that Austrian emf
grants in Brazil have appealed to their
consul at Rio de Janeiro to request
the Brazilian Government to give
them work or assistance. AS the re-
suit of this Intervention, up to the
first harvest, they were provided with
fifteen days work per month, at
nominal daily wages of two horins
eighty kreutzers, or about 81. IS.
This, however, explains the New

ready money, but in paper, which
shoI eepers would only accept ut such
q hey discount that the unfortunate
~DCEerS were DhTelS 'iple -
necessaries of life. The present
Brazilian Government, moreover,
have not kept the promise made by
their predecessors to assign land to
settlers and advance money for its
cultivation. Consequently, the i'm.
migrants have been reduced to desti-
tuition through the increase in the
prico of provisions, tho bad harvest,
the cessation of work on the roads
and the stoppage of cultivation.

Wantad-A Buffalo Farm.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Secrctary Morton
has received communication from the
President of the Nebraska City National
Bank, Col. w. L. Wilson, earnestly in
viting his attention to the desirabity OF
experimenting in the perpetuation OF
that almost extint animal-the buffalo
in the Aleutiau Islands, or Alaska, and
inviting him to consider the propriety of
purchasing herd now controlled by the
bank as agent for the use of the depart
ment for this purpose. The Secretary has
written Col. Wilson, treating his PROPOSE
ton in Numerous way.
"The fact is," said Mr.. Morton, "the
suggestion was originally made to Col.
Wilson by mutual friend, Mr.. Morrison,
who is bit Of wag, and who has pro.
posed this thing as sad joke. But Col.
Wilson has taken his proposition in all
seriousness, and actually believes that
will carefully consider the propriety of
undertaking, as Secretary of Agriculture,
to make an experimental buffalo farm in
Alaska or the Aleutian Islands. The bank
came into possession of these animals
through the settlement of decedent's
estate, and have no doubt that, viewed
solely as assets, they are stock which it
will lie hard to water. But / fsil to see
any reason why Uncle Sam should pay
out the peoples money from the United
States Treasury to run bnffalo farm.
Though l think Secretary Carlisle has a
reindeer ranch in Alaska, for which
Uncle Sam expended $95, 900 originally,
and over which lie has constantly a

A POSSIBLE ROYAL GUEST.
Celebration of German Day at the Fair StrS
UD the Kaiser

Chicago, H., July S.-That William
H., Germany's young ruler, will accept
the invitation of the President of the
United States to visit the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition is the declaration
of the diplomats in discussing the
recall of the imperial commits
sioner, William Wermuth, through
whose energy and activity Ger
many's matchless exhibition in Jackson
Park has been made possible. Mr.Wer-
muth sails for home July 20. His re-
call is ostensibly occasoned by business
of private character. but among his
associates it is asserted that the commits
sioner has been called back to the father
land to escort Emperor William to Chi
cagO Commissioner Wermuth says
that he hopes and confidently expects to
return before the close ofthe exposition,
and that fact strengthens the current
rumor. In an interview Mr.. Wermuth
said to-day:
"Of the fair as a whole, / may say i'm
partially it is the grandest exposition
yet conceived. 1t is the utmost any
body can accomplish It would be dan
gerous to attempt to 90 further for to
do so is more than human energy can
see The highest thing | can say Of it
is that | regret to leave 1t. The 1alr is
complete and the whole grand scheme
is the most beautiful thing the CEN
turtles have produced. Our papers
are now full of it's praises and
our people are all talking of
the great fair in Chicago. The Emperor
himself is much interested and wants
to see it. | have reported to him that,
without much experience in this regard,
Americans have made the greatest ex-
hibition ever seen, beyond which it is
impossible to go, and | have described
the splendid way in which the work is
done. He is more than pleased, he is
quite delighted"
'As matter of fact is it not to be one
of your duties on going home to escort
Emperor William to the fair ,"
Il do not want to answer that ques-
ton now. Emperor William is very
much interested, especially since he
learned how the people celebrated Ger
man day, but | am not prepared to say
that he will come"
Neither would the commissioner say
that he would not, and the inference is
that Mr.. Wermrth will return in Sep
TENDER and His Imperial Majesty Will
lam II. will accompany him back to
Chicago if no objection to such a course
arises before September.

Sanger at the Head Again.

TOLEDO, O., July S.-This has been a
great day for w. c. Sanger, the Milwau-
kee champion, in the Toledo cycling
races. He defeated John S. Johnson,
the Syracuse lad in the mile open, and
set the record for the track 2:2O 2-5 in
the one mile handicap. There was a
very large field. Sanger and Johnson
took the rear and allowed the
field good lead to the first lap, when
they set terrific pace, gradually pass
ing the entire field, with the exception
of Julian P. Bliss, of Chicago, whom
they passed almost in front of the grand
stand, Johnson losing by about ten feet.
The cheers which greeted Sanger's
victory were deafening, as the Wiscon-
sin boy has jumped into decided popu-
lar favor here. His work in the mile
handicap is regarded as phenomenal, in
view of the stiff breeze and new track.

HANGED BY A MOB.
Execution of Miller, the Slayer of the Two
Girls,

BARDwELL, KY, July s.-William
Miller, the negro who assaulted and
murdered two girls, was hanged yester-
day. 1t was at first intended to burn
him alive, but the plan was changed.
The negro gave his name as Miller
and the man says he has not been in
Kentucky recently, but a coat found at
titled by j. A. Porter as rings stolen
from him last Sunday night at Clinton,
Ky. The fisherman who set the fellow
across the river the evening of the muir
der says this is the identical man he
carried over.
Before he was executed Miller made
a statement affirming his innocence.
Many believe his statement. After he
was hanged the body was burned.
