To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
The report of the injecting of the joint
committee of the two houses of the Iegis-
lature' as published in the STATE Jour
NAL Saturday evening, February 9, 1895,
under the title THE Medical Bill" is not
quite correct as regards myself am
not member of the state board of health;
there is no medical board that l am
aware of. In reply to the statement that
the medical profession wanted law to
protect them, ETC., l said personally that
did not want such law; that I had
protected myself for 20 years in Kansas
and could continue to do so without one.
That the physicians of the state of Kan
sas of all schools had requested me to
look after legislation that would protect
the people against quacks. l therefore
have u right to claim that I represented
1900 or 1000 physicians in this state in
favor of such medical legislation.
The number of physicians who spoke
in opposition to this bill were three and
one of them favored another bill The
small room was crowded to suffocation."
There were present Christian Scientists,
Faith Curers, Vito pathists, whatever that
is, Clairvoyants, Spiritualists, Mind Heal.
ers, Magnetic Heaters, etc. The only
heelers not present were Diamond Dick.
The Indian Medicine man and the You
doc doctor, they no doubt are also op-
posed to the bill. G. Ii. GUIBoR, NJ. D.

HORRID GOLDFISH HASH.
An Inmate of the Soldiers Home Makes a
Protest Against 1t.

Protest Against 1t.
Considerable has been said in several
Kansas papers lately regarding the quail
ity of the food furnished at the Leaven-
worth soldiers home. One veteran has
written letter for publication in which
he says the food is all right except the
regular Saturday morning Goldfish hash.
He says:
'On Saturday morning the veteran
sees before him dish containing vege-
table similar in appearance to mashed
potatoes. Upon taking it upon his plate
a repugnant odor salutes his nose. Upon
placing it in his mouth. the same odor is
transformed into flavor; the stomach
sends off q remonstrance, but reason steps
in and says eat, for this is your only
show, and he forces down a small guam
tity.
''Suddenly some old fellow gasps,
struggles, throws back his head and his
eyes seem to start from their sockets.
The captain of the dining room rEshes to
the poor fellow and pulls pair of
pinchers from his pocket, and as
the poor old fellow gasps the
captain deity inserts the pinch
er and draws out a fish bone. The pers-
piration is wiped from his brow and after
a sup of coffee he can resume his break
fast. These scenes occur so often that
the other men do not even pause in their
eating. The captain always comes with
the pinchers in his pocket
"a comrade suggests that hash is not a
vegetable, but compound, the basis be-
ing potatoes and Goldfish bones, the flavor
ing cod liver oil.
''If so | would suggest that it would be
we'll to put the ingredients separately and
let the men mix it to suit their tastes.
While l am too obedient to refuse to eat
anything provided, must say the viIest
food my poor stomach was ever perse-
cuted with. is what is termed Goldfish
hash"

STORIES ABOUT RATS.
They Are Said to Be Great Travellers.
Methods of Rat Catchers.
IS,,ocial CnrreSrnnndence

Special correspondence
CHICAGO, Feb. TT shall not soon
forget said a man whose eyes were
shaded with green goggles on subur-
ban train this morning, chow thor
oughly I was startled by the curious ac-
tions of chap who one day came into
the Office in New York where 1 was
then employed as a bookkeeper. AL
though it was broad daylight, he had
in his hand a bullseye lantern, his
shoes had rubber soles, SO that he could
walk noiselessly, and he was without
coat and wore in place of a vest sort
of long sleeved, closely fitting short
jacket. He walked up to the big safe
without word, suddenly threw him
self fiat on his face and began to peer
under the huge iron box, using the
light of his buliseye to assist him in
his search for whatever he was after. In
a moment he was on his feet again and
had left the room. My fellow clerks and
myself were all much puzzled, and it
was some time before we learned that
the fellow was a rat catcher, and the
object of his search under the safe was
q possible rathole. Before the day was
over he had visited every part of the
building from subcellar to mansard,
and he made exceeding short work of
the rats that had grown altogether too
numerous for the comfort or convenience
Of the human tenants of the place. l
have been moved to relate this little
"Reminiscences, :" continued the man, TAX
ing off his goggles and wiping them,
Shy reason of the story I read day or
two ago in the newspapers about the
overrunning of the old Boston mine i'll
the anthracite coal regions near Wilkes
barre, Pa, with rats. have been some
what interested in whatever L read
about rats ever since that New York rat
catcher gave me such start. !"
'tWell, said a typical Chicago man
who sat in the next seat, traits have
given me much trouble good deal of
my life. My business, you know, has to
do with shipping in the season, and
when / was younger | used to sail the
fresh water seas myself. Sometimes we
would have great many of the rodents
aboard at the beginning of trip and
very few at the end, for rats will some
times desert vessel en- masse while it
is lying in port No, have no faith in
the superstition that desertion by rats
foretells coming disaster, for l have
known rats to leave in such great num-
bers at Milwaukee, say, that we would
be free of them when we got in here,
only to be we'll loaded with the pests
when we left this port. Rats are great
travellers. They often go the length and
breadth of the lake system to my knowl-
edge. Many an old rat has seen every
port from Buffalo to Duluth, in my
opinion, and there are salt water sailors
who will tell you that rats sometimes
circumnavigste the globe
''There are more rats than human be-
ings in the world, I'm told. A profess

estimates the number in the United

THE FINS OF FINS.
CO1Ored Mr.. KilIibrue did not Abuse His

COlOred Mr.. KilIibrue did not Abuse His
Horse, Says the Police Court.
FINS hillibrue, whom the police say
is doctah, was in police court this
morning to answer to the charge of abus-
ing his horse at 710 jackson street.
The witness for the city swore that
Finis had a stable that whole horse
couldn't get into; that he allowed the
horse to lie out sick in the snow and that
he had pried the animal up by aid of d
wo-by four. one end of which he placed
on beer key while he took a new hold
and went into the house q few hours to
warm his hands.
fiuis says this is all an outrage: that
he is very poor, and that he paid more to
support his horse than he did his family.
He thinks it was a mean trick in the
neighbors, and believes they hypnotized
the horse SO they could have a complaint
against him.
The court thought it was q sort of an
outrage too and discharged Killibrue.

ENSMINGER VS.. TlLLOFsON.

The Two Attorneys Have Lively Argu-
ment in Police Court.
Attorneys Ensminger and Tillotson had
chance this morning to fight out their
long ranking duel in police court.
When Mr. Ensminger was police judge
he left the bench once to defend Low,
the scavenger, and City Attorney Tillot-
son tried to get him impeached for it be-
fore the commissioners. There was a
little brush through the newspapers at
the time and it has been ranking like a
sand bur ever since.
Flora Morton, or Douglass, was arrest
ed Saturday night at her house on the
north end of South Kansas avenue, by
Officers McElroy and Ellison, and
charged with street walking.
Ensminger defended her before Judge
Ferry this morning, and City Attorney
Tiliotson assisted his assistant on the
other side.
The case had proceeded but a little
way when Mr.. Ensminger asked Officer
McElrov, who was on the stand, if he
didn't know that he had no right to ar
rest a woman in her house without a war
! rant for streetwalking.
'That's the law" interposed Tillotson.
ut isn't the law, and you know it." re-
sponded Ensminger.
1.-THE higher court has so decided" per-
sit never has," fired Ensminger. 81

DON'T
The court interfered just here and the
combat was bloodless. The next jangle
occurred when the city undertook to
prove Mrs. Morton's reputation.
"The rule of evidence does not admit
that question unless the defendant puts
it at ISSUE" said Ensminger
"The district court has ruled it does, -
declared TillotsoE.
you're off," remarked Ensminger.
"You may think SO but it is not fact"
"The supreme courts against you and
it's you that's off," snapped Tillotson.
There was a lengthy argument and the
court overruled Eusminger's objection.
81 can pile your desk as high as the
ceiling with citations against that ruling
said Ensminger.
There were several little tits of the
kind between the attorneys, though they
tried to have them appear good natured.
Mrs. Morton was discharged, however.

An Interesting Announcement.

On March 27, lSl9, tho New York Mcr- cantile Advertiser contained the following announcement: By an advertisement in this days paper it will be seen that the new and elegant steamship Savannah is to leave our harbor tomorrow. Who would have had the courage 20 years ago to haE- ard a prediction that In the year 1919 a ship of 800 tons burden would be built in the port of New York to navigate the Atlantic propelled by steam3 Such, however, is the fact. Her cabin is finished in elegant style and Is fitted up in the most tasty man. nsr." What a stupendous stride has sci ence made between this pioneer of ocean travel and the great ships that now cross the Atlantic and defy even the fleroest stormsl
 The Savannah got under way for sea with the crew on board at 10 a. m- Sun day, March 2S, lSl9," and the pilot left her at Sandy Hook "throe hours later, with fresh hreSzes at \. w" She arrived at the wharf in this city on April 6, made e trip to Charleston and back, and on May II took the president of the United States. James Monroe. and suit for a "steam sail to Tybee lighthouse and back. The vessel was advertised to sail for Liver pool on Friday, May sl; but, with a true sailors superstition, Captain Rogers re- fused to start on ''unlIcky Friday" and, in the words of the sailing master (chief offlcerl at O. m. on Saturday, May go 1879, got up steam, windcd ship and hove up anchor, and at 9 q. m. started with steam from this city. And thus was tho first voyage of a steamship across the At lantic ocean begun.
 In the logbOok-which Is preserved at the United States National museum-Oc- ours the following amusing entry: At a. m. (Monday, May 24) got under way of Tyhee light and put to sea with steam and sails. At 6 a. m. left pilot. At Sa m. took of the wheels in % minutes" As says Mir. Watkins, in tho report of the National museum, Captain Rogers eare of tho wheels may be explained from hts desire that the vessel should reach Liver pool without damage to them or tO tho machinery, which had been constructed under his supervision" Nothing unusual happened during the voyage, which occu- pied ss days, except that whenever the water became rough the wheels were un- shipped and taken on board Of tho ss days from Savannah to Liverpool l4 were under steam and with canvas.
