Promising Professional Career
Brought TO an Untimely End.
DR.. r. Fl. Cummins died ct his home
on Chapline street, about four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, in the thirty-frst
year of his age. DR.. Cummins had
large practice as a specialist in diseases
of the eye and throat, and he came in
contact with many severe cases OF
diphtheria during the past two months.
IL was while making professional
visit to child on the Island, during
which he performed an operation on
the throat, that he contracted the dread
disease which caused his death. That
was on Thursday. On the following
day he was taken sick, and his ailment
was pronounced diphtheria. The dis
ease was of the most malignant char
acter, and the patient was overwhelmed
by the poison. He was conscious
until about five o'clock yesterday
morning, and after that hour sank rap
idly until death came. 1t was strange
providence which directed that the man
who fought this disease so nobly In 9TH
ers, should himself fall a victim lit. The
medical profession manifested deep
interest la DR.. CumminS, and called fre.
Quently at his home to inquire about
his condition. His death removes one
Of the shining lights in his profession.
Dr. Hazlett Cummins was a son OF
the late Dr. Il. ii. Cummins, who was
a medical practitioner in Wheeling for
thirty years, and who stood high, and
deservedly so. in his chosen profession.
He attended Washington.J Jefferson Col
lege when q young man, and subse-
Quently spent term at Princeton,
completing his education at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. He was grad
uated in the medical department of the
last named institution, and afterward
took a special course on diseases Of the
eye and throat. He had been Drac-
trclng in Wheeling less than three
years at the time OF his death.
Deceased was a member of the First
Presbyterian Church and a consistent
Christian. He was also prominent in
social circles, and a member Of
the Fort Henry Club. His I'M
timely demise caused many eX-
pressions of sorrow last evening, and
the bereaved family will have the sym
pathy Of the community. The remains
will be buried at Greenwood cemetery
at ten o'clock this morning.

Extra precautions should be taken by

ever may come in contact with or be
exposed to diphtheritic cases, that the
best Of sanitary methods and disin-
fectants be used thereafter This may
apply to a change Of wearing apparel,
as we'll as the thorough washing and
cleansing Of the hands after a visit to
the sick room aud attendance upon the
patient. Diphtheria seems to be un-
usually contagious and malignant this
winter all over the country.
Some cases have already occurred in
this city, which at first were thought
to be mild in character, but soon after
ward rapidly developed into malignant
diphtheria, with blood-pOisOn soon fol-
lowing and death resulting.
Therefore behOoVes, not only par
suts, but nurses and physicians, having
such cases under their care to use the
utmost precaution that the contagion
may not in any manner be conveyed to
other persons.
Only a few days ago a dispatch came
over the wlres-headed "Ded at his
Post"-from a Pennsylvania hospital,
where a young physician in attendance
upon q diphtheritic ward, contracted
the dreaded disease himself, and fell
victim to the same disease for which he
had been treating others.

The plan Of Secretary CARLISLE for
reforming the currency is clearly and
succinctly set forth In his report to
Congress. The subject is one that is
engaging general attention and prom
ises to De the most prominent in the
public mind until the defects in our
financial system are remedied. 1t Is
purely a business question and as such
It ought TO DO considered. The bane Of
the country's financial legislation has
been politlcs-demsgogie concessions TO
various isms-until its system has be-
come one OF patchwork. There should
be a full, frank and free dis
cussion Of Mr.. CARLIsLE's plan by
business men and fnanciers, irrespec-
tive sf party, and 10 this spirit it will
likely be considered, since the Secre-
tary's recommendations are virtually
those adopted by a convention Of bank
ers at Baltimore, and generally accept
ed by financial experts throughout the
country.
The plan proposed, in brief, is that
national bank notes shall be based
upon a guarantee fund deposited with
the government, instead Of bonds; this
fund to consist OF a sum in legal tender
notes, equal to thirty per cent. OF the
notes the bank desires to issue, the full
issue not TO exceed seYenty-fvs per
cent. Of its paid up capital. Provision
is also made for a safety or
redemption fund by a small
tax on average circulation, to be paid
annually until the fund amounts TO five
per cent. OF the total circulation out
standing. A further provision exempts
State banks from taxation and permits
the issue Of circulating notes under
certain limitations. From the safety
fund is TO be redeemed the notes Of
failed banks. The government also re-
talus a prior lien upon the assets Of
failed banks, including stockholders
liability, in order TO replenish this
safety fund and protect il against pos
sible loss.
The provision that the national bank
circulation shall be secured by deposit
ing legal tender notes instead Of bonds,
will assist in maintaining the gold re-
serve at the standard required by law.
So long as the legal lenders are held by
the government they will not be a draft
on the treasury, and thus the necessity
20 repleuish the gold reserve will be to
that extent obviated.
It will be observed that :he provision
allowing State banks to issue circulat-
ing notes is devoid OF "wild cat" feat
ures, and by wise limitations makes
such notes entirely safe to the holders,
A plan similar 30 this is now in sue.
cesstul operation in the Dominion Of
Canada, except that the Canadian law
allows circulation TO the par Of unim-
paired capital, and the government as
sumes no responsibility for the redemp-
ton OF notes OF failed banks beyond the
application Of the five per cent. fund.
The plan having proved satisfactory
where tried, there is good reason to
believe that In the present temper Of
the American people the matter will be
given thorough and impartial consid
GRAFTON aud result in the Improvement
of the currency system Of the country.
