Female Physicians in Insane Asylums.

On page we to-day print a short letter
from Dr. w. w. Parker, in which he
reiterates his well-known views as TO
female physicians for women's wards In
insane asylums. He also says that the
lady doctor who resigned at Staunton was
right to do 50. as there was mo affinity
between the male and female medical staff
in the asylum. Oil and water will not
mix" he adds. DR.. Parker moreover
predicts that 1.-The newly-elected doctor
will not long remain in her new place"
1t seems 10 US that DR.. Parker must be
msinformed. 1t is hardly likely that the
Board of Visitors who have charge of
the State Hospital, at Stanton, would
have elected another female doctor if the
experience of the institution had been
what DR.. Parker supposes 1t to have been.
Our own information is that the services
of the female physician at Stanton were
found valuable, and that this fact was
recognized in official reports. We hear,
too, that many families prefer to send
their women who are insane TO Stanton,
simply because there is a female physician
there.
If there were no other reason-and really
there are many reasons-for having female
physicians at our asylums, the fact that
their presence there comforts the home
people Of the inmates would Justify their
appointment. 1t IS an immense deal of
comfort TO be purchased for q small
amount Of public money.
Or. Parker yields the pen OF ready
writer, and this subject Is one of those
upon which he writes with particular
facility and ability. But after all. his
Judgment ought not TO outweigh the
judgment Of medical men who know from
actual observation and daily life in insane
asylums that the services OF female physi-
clans are valuable in the women's wards.
Public sentiment in Virginia is steadily
growing in favor of the reform that We
advocate, and which has been success
fully inaugurated at Stanton. And It
will make greater strides now than ever
since 1t has become possible to secure
well-qualified female physicians from the
ranks Of our Virginia people.
The Dispatch earnestly trusts that Miss
Hopkins. who has just been elected at
stanton, will not be unduly discouraged
by DR.. Parker's prediction that she will
not remain long at the asylum. Know
ing the gentlemen of the medical staff at
stanton as we'll as we do. We feel sure
that now more than ever, they will feel
it incumbent upon them to give Miss
Hopkins their sympathy and aid in the
work before her. and not permit her to
feel that she is doomed to failure.
Indeed. we feel sure that DR.. Parkers
letter would have been ever so much
more effective than 1t is If he had not
uttered that prediction about Miss Hop
kins. The Doctor thereby runs the risk
Of being misunderstood; OF being accused
of expressing an opinion where the wish
is father to the thought. Knowing that
he is one of the most benevolent men In
the world. we acquit him Of that offence.
but all others may not SO readily do So.

ANY Tariff pettsr Than Mona.

Yes, almost any new tariff would be
better than none. The Senate bill would
be better than none. The House bill
are not willing longer to allow their bust
ness Interests TO go 10 wreck and ruin
whilst congressman hold high debate
over imaginary tariff wrongs. The voters
ought TO be consulted on this subject.
Let. the House Of Representatives and
the Senate do what they consider right.
and give the people new tariff law. and
all Will be well. 1t viii be accepted as
at least better than no new tariff law.

Bradstreet on the Tariff.

We repeat single sentence Of what
Bradstreet says this week. Here 1t is:
IN large centres there IS feeling
among jobbers and other wholesale houses
toward a revival in trade as soon as tariff
legislation shall have been definitely
settled"
Pray then, gentlemen OF Congress, let
us have tariff legislation definitely settled
as soon as possible. The people expect
this legislation at your hands. They are
beginning to grow impatient. And why
should they not?

Our Criminal Expenses.

on page / of this issue we reproduce
from the Fredericksburg Free Lance a
communication ito which we have sew
eral times before referred) written by the
Hon. ]. T.. Mason, a member OF the
House of Delegates, showing the costli-
ness of the execution OF our criminal
laws since our Supreme Court OF Appeals
rendered its decision In the Mary Miller
rase. Under that decision each petit lar
peny case and case of assault has TO be
tried by jury. and this change involves
the Commonwealth in an extra annual

next our people viii be called upon to
vote "for" or against" constitutional
amendment giving TO the General As
,emby power TO legislate far more fully
Man 1t is now authorized to do on the
subject of trials by jury.
We take It for granted that the pro-
posed amendment will be adopted In No

D'Ferrall 10 decide whether IL would be
letter to let these criminal charges con-
linue to burden the Commonwealth for

hutton.
1t Is true that our new Supreme Court
VI Appeals which goes into Office on the
kst OF January next might reverse the de-
piston of the present court In the Mary
Miller case. but we have heard no sug-
gestion from members OF the bar that

that way.

FOR PRISON REFORM.
A Meeting Held by the Arena Club


"PrisOn Reform" was the subject discussed
at the meeting of Arena Club No. held at
800 Post street yesterday evening. The speak.
ers, II. &. S. Cowles and Rev. NJ. J. FERGUSON,
took about the same view OF the subject. The
former In the course OF his remarks, said:
"The criminal is solitary man in the social
state; like the savage he is not capable of con-
tinuOus efforts. We must supply the conditions
OF morality before we can expect to make him
a better man. If you put him In a solitary cell
you must expect him TO act like beast when
he gets out. You must use sympathy and teach
him by environment TO be better man."
A number of the ladies and gentlemen
present participated IN the discussion which
followed the speeches. Some of those
who made remarks were IN favor of
ameiorating the condition Of prisoners and
paying them for their labor, others commended
that if the prison was made too happy home
men In want of work would commit crimes in
order to get committed 10 Its sheltering pre-
cincts.
At the end of The discussions the chairman.
John NJ Reynolds, announced that as the
Arena Club is a branch OF the Union for Prac-
tical Progress it DehOOved IL 10 undertake some

AN ATTORNEYS CONDUCT.
To Be Investigated by Judge Low in

tie Bendit Case.
The preliminary examination Of Samuel
Bendit on two charges OF forgery was held be-
fore Judge Low yesterday. A,strOng case was
made out against him. and he was held TO an
swer before the Superior Court on both charges
in $1,000 bonds on each. He forged The name
of William Cuff s. Co., wholesale grocers, TO
two statements OF account last collection day
ana obtained the amounts due.
The conduct OF Attorney Joseph A. Becsey
in the case will in all probability be brought TO
the attention of Judge Low this morning by
Bendps mother andsth police.
When BeGdit was arrested last Saturday he
had S2OS In his possession. Beesey went TO
him and offered him his services, but Bendit
told him he wanted TO employ Attorney Davis,
42O California street. a relative of his. He
asked Becsey to 60 for Davis.
"Beesey asked me for so cents to pay his
streetcar fare" said Bendit last night. al had
nothing but a So bill, and l gave it TO him on
the promise he would return with the change,
but 1 have not seen The change yet. That was
all | ever asked him 10 do for me.'
After BendiJ was held 10 answer yesterday he
told Detective Seymour he would like TO give
the S2OS TO his mother, who was very much In
need OF it. Mrs. Bendit and Attorney Davis
were IN waiting, and they went TO the Property
Clerks office, where the money was handed 10
her.
and Bendit told his mother not upon any &C.
count 10 give Beesey any Of the money.
"AfIer they lett me-" salu Mrs Bendit last
night, "Becsey demanded S25 from me. l did
mol give 1t 10 him. and he followed me all the

widow, who knows as much about what is
necessary TO be done as an infant.
Her eldest son, who lives In Oakland, was
with her al the City Prison last night, where he
met Becsey, and he gave the Police Court attor-
ney a piece of his mind for, as he termed ii, "a
piece of sharp practice upon a poor old
woman" Then Becsey offered 10 return the
money If they went to his house.
Becsey says that he had verbal contract
with Mrs. Bendt TO defend her son for $50 and

A CRUEL FATHER.
How Manuel Coria Beat

the Stepmother.

OAKLAND.-The trial OF Manuel Coria for
cruelty TO his three-year-old daughter, Bar
bara was held before Police Judge Allen yes
terday morning. and it proved TO be a case Of
the most inhuman brutality that has ever been
brought to The attention of the Oakland au-
thorities. During the course of the trial the
back OF the child was exposed to the horritie
view of the spectators and be scars and burns
and partly healed decorations, all inflicted by
the hands of a cruel father paled into inslgnif
canoe the most horrible stories told of the vic
tins OF the Siberian knOut. The only excuse
that the father could offer was that the child
is uncean-a statement that Is denied by the
chid's present guardlaDS-aDd that he was
drunk when he beat her. In the courtroom the
child avoided her father and clung TO the skirts
of Mrs. Sanford, who has shown her more
tenderness than she has known since her
mothers death.
Cora married a second time and his residence
has been at 17l3 William street. Only July 81
last Mrs. Thompson, their next door neighbOr,
heard Cora beating little Barbara, and moved
