British Medical Women,
from the Richmond Dispatch.


Women are advancing rapidly to the front
in the British medical world. According to
the last report of the London School of Med
icine for Women which gives in detail the
standing and work of the schools students
the medical women Of Great Britain have
taken the highest position in the examina
tions of the University OF London, the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, (Edinburg), and
the Society of Apothecaries (London). 1t APP
pears further from the report that although
the examinations of the University of Lon
don are among the most severe required In the
United Kingdom, women have on several oc
casions stood at the head of that university
medical-hono list
The London School of Medicine for women
claim to have contributed 161 Registered
medical women to the ranks of the healing
profession, and while this may seem at frs
blush small number, itshould he remember
ed that the British mind is much slower than
the American in taking hold of such innova
tions as women DOCTORS and that 10 long
Ell ago than 1865 the British Autocratic So.
ciety of Apothecaries utterly repudiated, and
deposited their august and crushing weight
upon, the medical woman.
Another triumph the British medical wo-
men have scored is that the number of grad
yates from the school referred to who receive
appointments to responsible positions is stead
lily increasing. Indeed, several Of these grad
yates already hold high governm ent positions
at home or in the colonies and dependencies.

A CASE FOR INVESTIGATION

We sincerely trust that Gov, O'Ferrall
will look closely into the cases of the two
colored women now in Jail at Richmond
under sentence of death for the Lunenberg
murder. There is very little difference,
except in point Of time. between being
lynched by mob and being lynched by a
court. These helpless and densely ignorant
negro women were in court acdthout coan-
sci, on trial for their lires, one of the poor
ignorant creatures in her despair, attempt
ing to cross examine one of the witnesses
herself. The only evidence against them
was furnished by the negro man who un-
doubtedly is the confessed and only muir
derer and who had some hope of lettering
his condition by duplicating the women.
He told two or three absolutely contradict
tory stories, denying one day what he had
said the day before. A dog should not be
hung Oh his testimony. still less human
being. The Court, itself, and the Com
monwealth 5 Attorney and his assistant
were fair enough, but that cannot take the
place of counsel. 1t would be great mis-
take to hang these women under these cir
cumstances. They should have counsel,
change of venue. and another trial. If
no lawyer can be found who will undertake
this, then the Governor should see that no
human life is taken by trial after this
fashion.

At Fluvanna county cour5 last. Monday
a mass meeting was he'd, at which Col.
William b. Pettit offered preamble and
series Of resolutions in favor of free coin
age Of silver and endorsing Hon. John W.
Daniel, and instructing the delegates not to
support any man for the Senate who will
not pledge himself to support Hon. John
w. Daniel for reelection to the United
States Senate, and is not for the free coin
age of silver at l6 to 1. The resolutio MS
were adopted unanimously.
A convention of the free silver men of
Georgia was held at Griffin, in that State
last week, at which the venerable Senator
Morgan of Alabama, was the central figure.
Mr.. Morgan attacked the President, saying
he would "break all who do not bend to his
power" and denounced MI. Cleveland &

Senator Quay OF Pa, was interviewed at
Pittsburg Saturday. He said he favored
either Reed OF Mckinley for the nomina-
ton. Asked who he thought the Demo-
Gratis will nominate for President, the
Senator promptly replied !: cleveland,
and he is a dangerous man. The third term
cry will not hurt him."
Washington letter in Alexandria Gazette
tGen. Wade Hampton, who is now here,
says MI. Cleveland will be nominated for
a third term. and that every Democrat in
the South, no matter what he may think of
the silver question, will vote for him. And

this way"
Representative Otey Of the 9Th Va. dis
trict is sending out circulars with the
object of securing freee silver convention.
1t is said that many of them have been re-
turned to Major Otey with strong letters
criticising his course. So says the Alexan-
dria Gazette.
At Saturdays Democratic primaries in
Mississippi the silverites swept the decks,
carrying nearly if not every county in the
State.
The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) says it is
everywhere understood that Senator Came

publicans for the Presidential nomination.
The Democrats of Charlotte county have
nominated MI. Henry G. Rice for the

ExSpeaker Crisp of Ga, was in Wash

CRIMSON CLOVER.

No other clover of recent years has been
so much discussed, OF grown so rapidly in
public favor, as crimson clover; known
also as German, OIL scarlet clover. 1t has

OUR VIRGINIA SCHOOL OF TECH
NOLOGY.


l. is safe to say that the Virginia Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College at Blacks
burg, Of which DR.. McBryde is President,
stands in the front rank of schools of tech
nology. The President was recently noti-
fled that there would be a competitive ex-
animation at Washington for assistant
mechanical engineers in the U. S. Marine
Revenue Service, with the request that
graduates of the college be sent to COM
pete. Three were sent, r. E. Wright,
Urban Harvey and T. G.. Lewton. There
were fifteen applicants. including men
from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Cornell University. Out
of the fifteen, eleven passed, and out of the
eleven, three were from the Virginia Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. The sue
cessful Virginians were distributed as
follows-Mr. Wright to Mobile, MI. Har-
vey to Newberne, N. c., and Mr.. Lewton
to New Bedford, Mass. This college is an
admirable institution of learning in every
respect-it turns out thorough mechanics
in its mechanical department., and thorough
farmers in its agricultural department, and
its other Experimentation AGA
demic, civil engineering. and so forth, are
not behind the others. We should like to
see more Augusta county boys there.

THE BRITISH LANDSLIDE.

The Conservatives have swept the cleo
tions in Great Britain pretty much as
the Democrats OF this country did i'll
1890, and the Republicans in 1891
AS such representative men as VIM
Mckinley and w. l.. Wilson were
defeated in those years, SO in England Sill
VIM. Harcourt. the liberal leader in the
House, and John Morley, Secretary fol
Ireland, have been defeated. In England
the tidal wave has swept some strange md
terial into the House of Commons, such as
Ryder Haggard, the novelist, and Stanley
the explorer of Africa. Neither the Irish
members nor the Liberal U nionists will
count in the coming House, SO great is the
Conservative majority. The questions of
home rule for Ireland, the disestablishment
of the Church Of England. the extension of
the franchise, the abolition OF the House of
Lords. are all postponed by this election
very far into the future. The only pro.
gramme of the new premier, Lord Sails
bury, SO far given out, is to the effect that
instead of doing the things named above
the general condition Of the people will be
improved!

A FREE CLINIC

We LEARN that steps are being taken by
charitable ladies Of the city, with the aid
Of the physicians. to establish what is call
ed a free clinic. The idea is to rent a
couple of rooms where persons of slender
means, but who are not on the city's list
of poor, may call for advice and treatment.
Each physician who consents to give his
time and services few hours each week
will have special department-one for
eye diseases, one for ear and throat, one for
gynecology and so on. The services of the
physicians will be given free and fund is
being raised to supply medicine. In sur
gerry the operations will of course be con-
| fined to minor. OF what are professionally
called walking cases. unless the ladies'
should take some case and see to its being
nursed. This clinic, if established, will lie
of incalculable benefit to our people and
will, we trust, lead to the establishment of
a hospital. Hundreds Of people will go
there to consult a physician. who, unable to
pay fee, would otherwise let their COM
plant go on until too late for remedy, and
who yet would never go if they had to so
as charity patient. AS every physician
in the city who is willing and has time to
give few hours each week to this cause Of
humanity will have speciality in the
clinic, there will be no lack of good medi-
cal and surgical service.
Since writing the above we learn that on
Tuesday last, representatives OF the King s
Daughters and the City Mission held a
meeting and a joint appropriation was
made to buy medicine for the first three
months of the clinic, and the ladies also
appointed two committees to take charge
of fitting the rooms and to take general
interest in the charity.

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 26. 1895.

.arba nosition of cOmmandant OF the V. M.
iudoine from our exchanges, is exciting a
oood deal of interest. In several OF the
Staunton papers we find editorials advocating
the election of certain candidate and IN
Richmond paper is long communications
favoring another. The influence ol 'le le"e-
paper is reaching out when 1t UNDERTAKES W
saw who shall be elected instructors IN otale
schools. as it would who shall be the nominee
of a no1itical- convention. Looking at the
main object only, it is but questionable wheth-
or This is the effective method to get pull on
the V. M. I. board "-Rochbrsdge Nea's.
The VINDICAToR does not desire to get
a apull'' on the V. NJ. [. board. 1t is not
vet prepared to believe that it needs a
sspullo on the board of Virginia educa-
tional institution in order to get it to con-
struct it's faculty as far as possible, out OF
it's alumni. It the standard OF these IN
situations is what has been represented 10
the people. then they are turning out men
fully equipped to become members OF thelf
faculties. That being the case it should
not require Preaching out" for Virginia
paper to suggest that in a Virginia educa-
tional institution it's alumni should have
the preference for positions in the faculty.
We do not understand the Virginia papers
who have discussed this matter to desire to
say cho shall constitute the faculty; they
only wish to.suggest of achGt the faculty
shall be constituted, and they are led to
that suggestion by the statements set forth
annually and publicly that the V. M. l.
equips men for such positions. AS to the
individual, we have little interest. We do
not personally know Capt. Blackford
who has been suggested by several OF our
contemporaries, but we know that he is an
alumnus of the V. M. L., and since he left
there, has held with credit the position OF
commandment at two of the best cadet schools
in the country, Rollers Military Academy
in Virginia, and the Military school at Ken
yon, Ohio. Our suggestion is in the inter
est of the alumni, an interest that it seems
to us the Board itself ought to have even
more at heart than the VINDICATOR, and
to which we had much rather trust than to
e any s'pulI' which might be gotten on
it. A custom which largely prevails at
Johns Hopkins Univeraity, Harvard and
Yale, could hardly be a hazardous one for
the Institute board to follow.
If presidents would count for anything
with our esteemed cotemporary. we might
suggest that almost every paper in the
State advocated the election of Gen. Shipp
without bringing On themselves the sug-
gestion of reaching out" too far, OIL at
tempting to get ''pull'' on the board.
