When the first Of the relief corps entered

worked like demons with sweat pouring down
their faces Every moment the throwing

bleeding and mangied bodies were brought
out greans aud outcries arose on all hands.
The surrounding houses. drug stores and bus
iness places were filled In a short time with
the bleeding and groaning men.
At the morgue the sight was one horrible to
behold The little building In which was one
ice-chest and dissecting table WAS not near
large enough to hold the dead bodies brought
from the wrecked building. When the uaorsue
was nlied the stable was turned into reerp-
ton loom for the bodies. Blankets were laid
on the door and the remains laid out as re
specially as possible under the circumstances

THE doctors who cut the assassin's
bullet out of Millionaire Mackays 5
back have put in o bill of Sl2,50O for
the Job. Mr. Mackay refuses to pay.
He evidently thinks it worth no more
to cut bullet from his back than
from that of poor man OF
course Mackay is as able to pay
S12,5o0 as an ordinary man would be
to pay S12, but this fact would not be
taken into consideration in any ordin-
ary business transaction. Evidently

Aiter the Cowboys.

The American Society for the Prevention OF

sons who take part in the cowboy race from
Chadron, Nebraska, TO Chicago. The posters
call attention to the race Of over 500 miles in
which horses or broneos are TO be ridden by
cowboys or other persons. Believing that
such contest is likely to inilct unjustifablc

ward OF 500 for the arrest and conviction of
any such persons participating in such race,

ADVANTAGE should be taken of the
present waiters' trouble to do away
with the system of tips, Why
not? The fee system is an imported
abomination. Walters should re-
ceive fair wages from their employers
and should be obliged to render
equal service to all comers. That is
the common sense of the whole mat
ter. Why should not public senti-
ment be formed against the giving of
tips and why should not the pro-
prietors of hotels and restaurants be
called upon to prohibit their en-
ployes from receiving "tips?" So

PENNSYLVANIA has appropriated
$35, 900 for the purchase of Washing
toms famous camping ground at
Valley Forge which is to be improved
and kept as public park That is
all very we'll provided it doesn't in
crease the value of real estate there
abouts and convert the public park
into a manufacturing center. That
seems to be the fate of Niagara Falls
which New York bought for public
park few years ago. The scheme
of saving historical battle6elds by
converting them into parks is hard
to carry out satisfactorily. Gettys-
burg is being cut up by an electric
railway and Chicamauga park is not
above suspicion of being worked in
the interest of real estate specula-
tors.

SOME recently gathered statistics
regarding the number of physicians
in the country show that there is one
doctor to every 600 people. In Illi-
nois one to every 54S. The trouble
is these conclusions are generally
based on figures gathered at medical
college commandments. The idea
is that whenever man graduates in
medicine this at once consigns him
for life to the list of doctors, while
the fact is that not more than seven
ty-five per cent of those who gradu-
ate in medicine ever succeed in es-
tablishing themselves in practice

The English and European papers
cannot get over their surprise at the
shrewdness of the Yankees in not
only sending over their stoves by the

the anthracite coal necessary to burn
N them. The American stove is BY
no means any longer rarity abroad.

looked upon as a curiosity. An English
contemporary, alluding to the fact
that we ship both the stoves and the
coal, calls it a singular phenom-
