DR.. Albert B. Miles, the celebra-

Charity Hospital, one of the most
famous and successful physicians
and surgeons of the United States,
whose reputation for skill was
known to the whole civilized world,
died on last Sunday, after an i'll
ness of about three weeks. Al
though a comparatively young man,
his reputation for learning and
scientific attainments was well es-
tablished. He was born in May
1852, and at the time of his death
was only little over AZ years Of
age. His death is possibly the
greatest loss humanity has suffered
in this State for several years.

President Cleveland has made a
statement regarding the financial
situation, in which he compliments
the New York banks for their pa
triotic action in furnishing gold for
shipment abroad, thus preserving
the gold reserve in the treasury.
He also corrects the false report to
the effect that the government is
postponing the payment of its ma
tured ALLEGATIONS, and shows that it
is paying what it owes in the usual
way. Taking it altogether, the
Presidents statements sets at rest
the disqueting rumors which have
been circulated for the purpose of
destroying public confidence in the
credit of the government and caus-
ing another financial panic. He
shows by actual figures that the
condition of the treasury to-day Is
far better than it was at the time
bonds were issued for the purpose
OF roplenishiDg the gold reserve,
and that there is now applicable tor
the payment Of government expen-
over $533 .00a, 600 Elk.

According to an estimate made
by the New York Recorder tn
great strike in which the railroad
and other employees have been en-
gagged during the past few weeks
has cost fully $l3, $4,000 up TO
date. The railroads, it is estimat-
ed, have lost S5,3l2,O00, the rail-
road employees about $1,000, OOO.
other wage earners about 81, l5O,-
900, the United States government
81, 000,0 600, the States for militia
service about $3.50, 900. while the
Pullman employees, who had lost
about $500, 900 through their own
strike before Debs' organization
took up the fight for them, have
lost $500, 900 more" These esti-
mates do not include several mill
lions of dollars worth OF perish
able goods lost by delay in tansit.
And now who is hurt by it? Not
the railroads, for FIVE millions is a
bagatelle to them. Not the Pull
mans for what is Eve hundred
thousand dollars to corporation
worth thirty-eight millions? The
sufferers are the wage earners, to
whom the loss of five millions of
wages is as their life's blood.
