ton really numbers about 400 all told, and
III that respect they stand on all equal
1OOling with Ward McAllister'S ''400' III
the New York metropolis. These WASH
ington colored swells live in fine houses.
They are possessed in many cases of large
wealth. They keep their Own carriages,
and they have servants III abundance
who minister their wants. They have
everything, III short, that money and
good taste can suggest. But there is one
thing they want Lnat All their wealth can't
give them, and that Is Il White skin. The
wealthleSt colored man in Washington
would gladly exchange places with the
neaneSL White If 1t where IA his power TO
exchange skiuS also. In their church
worship the colord "400' are quite as OK

How a Partisan Surgeon Turned the
Tables on II Stingy Patient.


Tables on II Stingy Patient.
While in most countries the people, and
especially the poorer classes, manifest a
dread OF being taken to the hospital for
medical treatment, in France quite the
contrary is the case; so much SO, indeed,
that the city authorities OF Paris, accord
ing to a writer in the New York I1lb3t72e,
have now under consideration very nec-
eSSary measures to prevent the monopo-
lizing by well-to-do people of the beds
and treatment destined exclusively
for the poor. The discussion which has
arisen in connection with the matter has
led to all sorts OF amusing stories being
related of the articles adopted by rich
people in order to secure admission and
gratuitouS attendance in the public hos
pitals, and there is one that is told OF the
famous surgeon Nelpeau which is worth
repetition.
Velpeau was visited one day at his
house during the consultation hour by q
Marquis bearing one of the best known
names of the taubourg st. Germain, a
man who, at the same time, was re-
nowned for his closeness in money mat
ters. After having diagnosed the case,
Nelpeau informed the Marquis that an
operation was not only necessary but
even urgent, and in response to an in
curry OF the nobleman stated that the fee
for the operation would amount to 1000
francs. At this the Marquis made wry
face and left. About fortnight later
DR.. Nelpeau. while making his daily
rounds in the great Hospital de la Charlie,
had his attention attracted by face that
seemed familiar to him. In answer to
his inquiry it was stated that the patient
was the footman of nobleman in the
Faubourg st. German, story which
was apparently borne out by the clean
shaven face of the man and by the hand
some livery which hung on the hook be-
side his cot.
On examining the sick man, the sur
geon found that his case resembled in
every particular the somewhat unusual
one for hich the Marquis had consulted
him fortnight previously. He refrained,
however, from making any comments at
the time, and it was only two or three
weeks after the operation mad been per-
formed, and the patient was about to he
discharged, that DR.. Nelpeau called him
aside and exclaimed: Monsieur, | am
extremely fiattered and pleased to have
been able to cure you. There is, how
ever, small formality with which you
will have to comply before l can sign
your eXeat; that is, you will have to sign
check for 10000 francs in behalf of the
public charity bureau of your metropol-
itan district" The patients face became
livid. "Y ou can do what you like about
it,n continued the doctor, but if you re-
fuse all Paris will know tomorrow that
the Marquis de ID. adopted the disguise of
a footman in order TO secure free treat
ment at this hospital and to usurp the
place which belongs by right to pau
per-" OF course the Marquis paid.
