Bad as the strike has been in Chicago,
it is becoming very evident that the ac-
counts of it sent east have been much
exaggerated. Especially has this been
the case with regardsto the destruction of
property. We have been told that the
losses in one night from the firing of
cars have footed up into the millions
But the fire marshal of Chicago declares
that the highest total of any night will
be less than $4,000. 1t appears also that
about all the rioting has been done by
hoodlums and criminal characters, bent
chiefly on plumber, and that the strikers
have done very little if any of it. In
deed there is reason to believe that Chi
cago has been very much less excited
over the affair than cities thousands of
miles distant from it,

THE COMPENSATION OF PHYSICIANS
The Richer the Patient the Greater Should
Be the Fee. Says DR.. Hammond.
From the New York Law Journ

From the New York Law Journal.)
In an article in the North American Re-
view for June, 1894, entitled What Should
a Doctor Be Paid?'' DR.. William A. Ham
mond takes the ground that charges for
medical and surgical services should be
graded according to the wealth of the pa
tient. He squarely' contends that physi-
clans should be allowed to recoup them
selves for ill-paid or gratuitous ministra-
lions to the poor by exacting generous tri-
butte from the rich. He apparently claims
that it ought to be considered legitimate for
physician to make a bargain in advance
with a rich man, who is seriously ill, that if
a cure be effected, or the progress of TIE
disease arrested, the physician shall receive
q certain proportion of the PATIENTS for
tune One of the writer's illustrations at
least shows that he has the courage of his
convictions. He says:
1.-The tourist captured by Sici.ian brig
ands does not hesitate to give SIC, 900 under
the threat that failure to do so will surely
result in the amputation of his nose. He
would give ten times as much, if he had it.
to save himself from so horrible a mutila
ton. But should a surgeon, by skillful
operation, preserve the same organ of the
same tourist from the destructive influence
of injury or disease, the probability is that,
should he fix his monetary compensation at
so large sum as $500, he would be regarded
as almost as much of robber as the Sicil-
ian brigands, and that even many of his
fellow practitioners would look at him with
that degree of envy which the obtaining of
such fee would excite''

Suppose every one of the million of
workingmen whom Sovereign claims to
belong to the Knights of Labor organ
izarion should obey his order and stop
work. How would that tend to assist
the American Railway Union in bring
ing Mr.. Pullman to terms? If the
national government had an army in the
field engaged in coercing a State into a
compliance with its wishes it would be
thing for all the people to stop pro-
ductive labor and thus deprive them
selves of the means of supporting this
army. 1t would be obvious that it every
body was going to stop producing the
army would soon be deprived of the
means of support, and would have to
stop operating. Now here is detach-
ment of laboring men making war on
capitalist. They are earning nothing.
ard of course sooner or later they must
stop from sheer lack of the necessaries
of life unless assisted. At this juncture
all the other laboring men proceed to
deprive themselves of all power to fur
nish these necessaries by stopping labor
themselves. This is a curious kind of
strategy. person not labor leader
would think it was the best posi- BILE
kind of strategy to insure defeat But
the labor leaders describe it as trump
card, certain to end the war on Pullman

Tor many years to come. Now every
Democratic member of that committee
but one is from the South. The excep-
ton is Senator VOORHEES, of Indiana, and
OF him it may truthfully be said that
he is now and always has been thorough
ly imbued with the Southern spirit and
sentiment. Furthermore it may be said
with equal truth that he knows little
about tariff matters, and that he will
interest himself as little in determining
the final form of the bill as he did in
determining the form IN which it passed
the Senate. The Repu blicans on the
committee are from the North, but the
Republicans will have no voice-indeed
will not be consulted in the final shaping
of the bill. Men from the South unac-
quainted with Northern industries and
unsympathetic, if not positively jealous
of them, Will fix the tariff condition

mercantile business of the North for

which may well cause the North anxiety

The fleeting fame of u baseball player has
on at least one previous occasion been my
theme. The recent experience of an Ohio
young man, however, furnishes the best
illustration of the ups and downs Of base
ball glory which ever came to my notice.
In the town Of GAINESVILLE which may be
found on any unabridged mapsof tho state
of Ohio. there lived last year a youth known
to his neighbors as Harvey Pastorius. The
even tenor of his life flowed on In humble
peace until last fall, when, by stroke Of
local enterprise, the Cincinnati baseball
team was secured rs one days attraction
for that unusually quiet place.
GAINESVILLE, like all ambitious towns In
the west, had n baseball club of its own
The team WAS made up Of young men who
lived there and WAS purely home product
Now, while Bsrnesvillians were proud of
their team and had a limited amount of
faith in the abilities of their native talent
to knock the eyelashes off any of the teams
from the surrounding hamlets, none dream
ed that the boys were able to give the Gin
cinnati National league team even the
show of n struggle.
But when the game came off surprise
resulted. Harvey Pastorius pitched for the
GAINESVILLE boys, and it was his work with
the ball which almost defeated the Cipcin-

curves, shoots and drops. When the even

Corbett before the latter became champion,
he was defeated, but he put up a great
fight. Corbctt does not hesitate to say that
he Is the gamest and fairest fighter he ever
met. Joe Goddard, the big Barrier cham

likely to remember both occasions for the
reason that Choynski punished him terri

Choynski has defeated many good men,

How to Build n Farce Comedy,

Some observant dramatic writer has this
to say with reference to farce comedy and
the method Of constructing one of these
mOnStrosities:
If the immortal Shakespeare can look
down upon this earth and see the methods
Of the playwrights Of the present day, he
must indeed blush with shame for them.
Comedy, keeping pace with the public
taste, has got down to very low level.
Farce comedies, those productions which
seem to amuse most in these days, and
which, generally speaking, receive the pub
lies commentator in the way OF dollars
more than any other performances, are pc
culiar combinations. Usually farce COM
edy Is written, if such an expression can be
allowed In this connection, ito order" for
certain comedians / heard the other day
OF the manner In which n certain successful
farce comedy was constructed
The method, am told, is a fair sample
of that by which most plays of this stripe
are made The first act was constructed
with what was intended to be n semblance
OF plot, it being recognized as an I'M
written law among recent playwrights in
the production of farce comedy that q
plot is sure to kill the play. After the first
act the author sets down ''one-half hour of
Mr. -" the comedian for whom the play
was written. Then there come the special
ties Of the various members OF the compa-
ny, during which performance the plot is
entirely forgotten, and the play winds M
with tumble of nonsense which any one
of the troupe is at liberty to suggest Thus
the modern farce comedy Is made, and the
public taste Is satisfied.
