WOMEN PHYSICIANS.


Their Scope and Influence Is Growing
Rapidly in America.
= The first medical diploma conferred
upon a woman in modern times was
given by the Medical college of Geneva
in 1S49. At the present time there are
nearly three thousand women engaged
in medical practice throughout the
country. Through the north and west
they are to be found in every large city
and in many country towns. South of
Maryland they are rarely to be found.
For many wears, saws Emily Black
well, NJ. d., women could only study
in three colleges established for them
in Boston, Philadelphia and New York.
Now, not only have these grown
largely in means and opportunity, but
others have been established in Chi
cago, Baltimore and other places.
Women, however, are no longer con-
fined exclusively to their own schools.
The medical departments of almost all
the state universities in the west adj
NIT women as we'll as men. The State
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor
was the first thus to recognize the
claims of women to a share in educa-
ton in state institutions, and has a
large class of women in attendance.
The last and very important step in
the direction of co-education is the adj
mission of women to the new Johns
Hopkins Medical school in Baltimore.
This valuable opening is due largely to
the condition of the liberal endowment
given to the college by Miss Garrett, of
Baltimore.
In connection with medicine women
show the same interest in benevolent
work that they do outside of the pro-
fession. In New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, San Francisco and
some other places they have estab-
lished hospitals and dispensaries in
which the service is exclusively con-
Quoted by women physicians. In the
work of private societies and institu-
tions they are often active helpers
AS rule women are precluded from
taking any part in public institutions,
hospitals, dispensaries, asylums, etc.
In these, with few exceptions, they are
not eligible as attending physicians.
BY recent enactment there must be
one assistant woman physician in all
the state hospitals for the insane in the
state of New York. A few other states
have followed that example. They
may serve as internes in the almshouse
near Philadelphia In New York city
women physicians have served in the
summer service for the poor, estab-
lished by the board of health, as ply
sicians and inspectors. One woman
physician is employed in the bacteri-
ological service of the New York board
of health But with them and few
similar exceptions women physicians
are not yet admitted to any share in
the medical service of public institu-
tions.
This exclusion is one Of the greatest
obstacles to the professional success of
women, since it is in this great field of
observation and wide experience that
men obtain eminence in practice

which he called Billy. The gray
wasn't a handsome horse, but he was
good and strong, and the deacon got
him pretty cheap, so he was satisfied.
But the second day he drove him to
the village something disagreeable
happened. When the deacon came out
of q store where he had been leaving
some vegetables he found Billy lying
down. That was unpleasant; it isn't
nice to have horse that lies down
when you are driving him. Deacon
Penguin got him up after good deal
of trouble and drove him home. The
next day the horse lay down again,
and the next, and then it was discov-
cred that he had habit of lying
down, which the horse dealer of whom
Deacon Penguin had bought HIM had
forgotten to mention when he sold him
to Deacon Penguin.
THE next day when the deacon drove
along Main street the people saw
around the body of the big gray horse
broad canvas belt, and when the dea-

store where he generally stopped first,
they saw sticking up from the top of
this belt alongside the saddle Of the
harness a stout iron ring. Sticking out
of the rear of the deacon's wagon were
three or four timbers; and what these

OF THE BELLEyILLE CRIME
Sheriff Bell, of Hendricks County

,ecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE, Ind, Jan. ~4.-Sheriff Bell to-
night received a telegram from the chief of
police in Terre Haute that he held a man
whom he believed to be one of the Belle
VILE murderers. Mr.. Bell left on the mid
night train for Terre Haute. and there is
considerable excitement here tonight.
There has been a well-defined suspicion at
Belleville. where last weeks tragedy oc-
Cured, that Rev. Henshaw and his wife
were attacked by some one who knew of
the little money kept by the minister. Ger
tain suspected persons are said to have
cleared out, and it is possible that one of
these is the man now locked up at Terre
Haute. Sheriff Bell would not be able to
identify the man unless he has informa-
ton as to who the robbery and
murder, and the fact that he has been sent
for gives rise to the belief that the officers
nave a clew to the robbers. Rev. Hen
shaw's condition is said to be improving,
and it is probable he will recover. Without
his evidence it would be practically impos-
sible ever to positively identify his assail-
ants.

Greatest SwindIer of the Age.

YANKTON, S. D., Jan. Authorization
received here from London regarding J. L.
NJ. Pierce's swindling transactions show
that the aggregate of the British losses
may reach the stupenoous sum of sS,0oo,ooo.
A letter from a London firm of solicitors
says that not a quarter of the fraudulent
transactions have yet come to light. 1t rs
stated that receipts BY Pierce at his Lon
don office We're limited only by his ability
to issue bonds, mortgages and other papers,
often exceeding 100000 a week. And 1T IS
alleged in London that he received no less
than s500,O0 during his last week there.
1t is owing to has gigantic transactions
that his victims expect to receive an
offer of compromise after the mat
ter shall have cooled down..
To make these losses known would impair
the credit of the losers and also make them
an object of ridicule; therefore, they pre-
fer to bear their losses in silence. One
