regarding this action of the court, the
opinion, which was written by the court
commissioners, quoting from former
opinion, says: "There is no merit In the
contention that as communication the
evidence should be excluded, for the rule
as to privileged communications between
patent and physician does not apply IN
criminal cases. The chapter on witnesses
In the code of Civil Procedure limits the
rule TO civil actions, and the Penal CODE,
which expressly possesses the rule as to
husband and wife in the chapter determln-
ing who may be witnesses in criminal ac-
tlons, makes no mention of physician
and patient. At common law the
rule as to physicians was not observed In
either civil or criminal cases. The statu-
tory privilege was not conferred to shield
person charged with the crime OF muir
der (referring to the case cited as author
lty) and 1t certainly was not Intended to
be used as a weapon against one charged
with crime"
These rules laid down, the commits
sloners believed, applied directly to the
case of DR.. West, and they therefore recon-
mended that the order denying new trial
be reversed, and the cause remanded for
new trial. This was ratified by the JUS
tices.
In concurring opinion rendered by the
Chief Justice he lays down the law more
in detail. The rule regarding witnesses,
he says, is prescribed in section 1879 of the
Code of Civil Procedure as follows: "All
persons without exception, otherwise than
is specified in the next two sections, who
having organs of sense, can perceive, and
percelvlng can make known their per-
ceptions to others, may be witnesses. "
In the next section a few exceptions are
noted, and in section 1881 this occurs: "a
licensed physician or surgeon cannot, with
out the consent of his patient. be examined
In civil action as to any information ac-
quired in attending the patient which was
necessary to enable him to prescribe or to
act for the patient"
This action, Justice Beatty holds, limits
the rule as to privileged communications
actions; in criminal actions any physician
may be examined. His opinion is con-
Cured in by Justice Van Fleet.

Women to often suffer from some
weakness that was never intended
for them by nature.
When trouble or hard work or ex-
element have rendered the nervous
system so morbidly wide.awake that
sleep is denied, the over.tired brain
must be helped to get quickly back
to its healthy, normal condition or
serious mischief ensues.
Paine's celery compound accom-.
plishes this as nothing else has ever
done.
1t at once begins to regulate and
equalize the over-wrought nerves
and to restore to them their lost
tone.
1t brings to the the disa bled, debil-
lated nervous tissues the peculiar
nerve food which they must have to
build up their parts.

Paine's celery compound is a per

weakened parts, removes all irrita-
tons, allows the rest from pain they
need so badly, and restores all the
myriad deep.lying nerve parts all
over the body to healthy, quiet

Two Suspicious Characters Going About

Two suspicious characters Gong ABOUT
the city who should BE Arrested.
Two men have been going about Inc city
during the past week telling telephone
renters that they had been sent from the
exchange to examine the phones. IL two
instances, at least they have been allowed
10 look at the instruments and have gone
away and left them after taking them
apart. Both of the irregularities. which
were brought to the notice of Manager
MhhaiTy, occurred on Wednesday. The
phones tempered with were those at the
Homeopathic Hospital and the parochial
residence at st. Peters Pro-Cathedral.
1t is not known exactly what object
these men can have, but the impression
is that they gain entrances to residences
and places of business on the preteXt
stated with a view to committing robbery
or learning the condition of Things about
the premises. However, no depredations
are known to have occurred in this city
so far.
The men should be arrested as soon as
they make their appearance ut any house.
The regular employees OF the exchange are
provided with certificates from the manage
lnent. and il people who go to look at

Tho Better Part of yalor.

Nobody ever called in question the
courage Of the carly Spanish settlers OF.
California; but there seems TO have been
at leas. one man among their descend
ants who held discretion to be the better
part of valor. His fcllow-countrymen
still preserve the memory, with keen
appreciation of its point. :
A certain Don Audreas was inter-
viewed by his superior officer, on the
eve of an engagement with the enemy,
and was warned that the American was
II very different foe from the Indian or
the Mexican, and that courage should
not be pushed to rashness in an en-
counter with him.

Spouse of the intrepid caballero, 81

CRY COUNCIL.

The Ordinanco Concerning tho Purity of
Milk and Cream Recalled and Passed
q ut tho Meeting Lust Thursday Night.
last Thursdays meeting of City Council
was preceded and followed hv conferences
between we!l.know Republican polti-
clans and Councilmen Of the same COM
plexion, the subject of conversation being
presumably the approaching municipal
election. Shortly alter the opening of the
session Mayor Shor,lidge made his appear
anee and occupied u seat alongside OF Pres
ident Perkins. His business was evidently
to learn what Council intended TO do with
the ordinance concerning the purity of
milk and cream.
On motion OF Mr.. Stats, the ordinance
was recalled from the mayor, both by the
title and the euacting clause.
| After the ordinance had been duly re-
| called Mr.. Stats stated that he was under
the impression that there was II misundcr.
| standing among some of the members
concerning section 3, and he moved that it
be passed as amended ut the previous
\ meeting
The section refers to licensing milkmen.
| AT the last session of Council the section
was called up after the passage of the
ordinance, and was 30 amended that the
license fee shall be $40 annually instead of
70, as was originally drawn UP, but after 1t
had been amended the section was not
| passed, and. therefore the ordinance could
not become a law without IL. So last night
the amended section was passed, alter
which the ordinance was taken up by title
and enacting clause and Was passed by Il
vote OF Z to 4. 1t was then ordered sent
to the mayor for his signature.
The law and finance committees returned
with their approval the communication
from the Phoenix Fire Co. concerning the
desire to purchase u chemical engine, and
recommended that law he prepared and
sent to the Legislature. Since the Legisla-
ture is not receiving any new business it is
not plain as to what course that body will

true-as it probably is motifs at least
entitled to a place in legendary litera-
ture: Lincoln was once riding along
lonely road when an ill-looking man,
who held cooked revolver, suddenly
faced him.
"What do you want, my friend P"
Lincoln asked.
II am going to shoot you," answered
the man.
"Well," said Lincoln, II don't mind
being killed, but l should like to know
your reasons"
II once vowed" said the man, that

would shoot him."
Lincoln looked critically at his assail-
ant for minute, and then said:

are, then for PHYS sake shoot!"

Century club Thursday Evening.

Professor n. n. Thompson at tho New
Century club Thursday Evening.
Considerable interest was manifested In
the lecture Thursday on Taxation" at
the NGwCenttry Club by Professor
Robert Ellis Thompson. formerly OF tho
University Of Pennsylvania, ana now
principal OF the High school of Philndel-
phia. A delegation OF citizens WAS present
from New Castle and az the close of the
lecture many questions were asked Pro-
fcSsor Thompson concerning the single
tax law now before the Legislature, and
about the results of its operation were
tried On being told of the graded poll
tax system in this State the lecturer ex.
pressed his surprise. and stated that such a
system is unjust as all poll taxes should
be the same.
The professor in his lecture defined the
difference between direct and indirect
taxes, and thea discussed Henry Georges
single tax, proposed hy Mr.. George rs a
Substitution for other taxes. This. he said.
would NOT raise sufficient revenue and
would tax only property owners. while
those WHO invested in railroad bonds
would escape taxation.
The operation OF the income tax in
England and the attempt 10 repeal the in
come tax there was described in detail. In
regard to this tax the lecturer said
hold that the income tax is the fair
est of all taxes and II is that to which this
country is sure to resort to in the future.
When protective duties cease to bring sutfi-
cient revenue the nation will either resort
to u tariff for revenue only or an income
tax. The former will fall with great
weight upon the poor, as do the duties of
the English tariff, since it would tux
everybody IN proportion to their consump-
ton OF the staple articles, such as tea,
coffee sugar spices, etc., without refer
ence to their ability to pay. In demo-
cratic country such % tariff will not be
enacted, when it is possible to raise the
needed revenue by taxing incomes Of the
rich. An income tax falls on those who
can best bear it when graded with refer
ence TO source of income. 1t is the most
just and equal in its incidence ana it also
taxes man with some reference TO the
amount of protection he receives from the
government, this being much greater to
the rich than to the poor"
The tariff and exemption of church
property from taxation aud the principles
involved were also discussed.
