THE WOMAN DOCTOR.
Reminding Us of the Eternal and Immu
table Disparity Of Sex.


The woman doctor is already an &C.
complished fact, but as yet she has ap-
parently made no considerable way in
public favor, says the Scottish Review.
1t may be contended that there Is some
thing in the art of healing in accord
with the primary instincts of a woman's
nature. But if we look closer into the
subject it will be seen that there is
more than mere prejudice and long
established custom to account for the
exclusion of the female sex in the past
from the practice of this calling. Have
women the calmness of nerve the
aplomb, so to sav-the steadiness of
hand and pulse for the work of the sur
geon? Is it possible to suppose that a
mona bnormal woman, with her more
highly strung constitutional sensibility,
could amputate limb with the same
imperturbability that we should look
for in the male operator?
To this it may be replied that grant
ing certain drawback to women by
reason of sex in the matter of surgical
experiments, the case is different with
the ''metier" of the physician, and that
here, at least, the sexes can compete
on terms of perfect equality. Yet,
again, as a matter of plain fact, are the
services of lady doctors much in re-
quest with their own seX-nay, even in
those branches of the therapeutic art
dealing with specially feminine ali
ments? Moreover, if the advanced
woman's theory of sxact professional
equality and Indifference as to sex is
to be maintained, why should any bar
rier suggest itself to the consultation of
medical women by men, any more than
now exists in the calling in of women
of the male practitioner? But is there
no such barrierP Surely the mere
statement of the case disposes of the
| parity argument.
We have heard of a man here and
| there resorting to lady experts in mas
sage, but that men should go to women
| doctors and lay bare their bodily symp-
| toms in the same way as women have
| done from time immemorial to their
male medical advisers, would be pro-
cedure repugnant on both sides, and
mot convenient" for obvious reasons.
Here, then, while admitting that a
sprinkling of females may, perhaps,
usefully find their mission in obtaining
employment as doctors among limited
number of their own sex, we are
brought face to face with the eternal
and immutable disparity of sex.

Wires Must Go Under Ground.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2O.-The
city council last night passed a
sweeping ordinance cancelling all
franchises to telegraph and tele-
phone lines within the district of
the city, including a territory a
mile square, and ordered that all
telephone and telegraph wires be
removed within a reasonable
time. This is a determined stand
by the council looking to the plac.
ing Of all wires under ground.

WE ARE GREAT LiTIeANTs.
More Civil Lawsuits Here Than In Any
Other Country In the World.

Other Country In the World.
A man of ingenious mind, and appar-
emily ample leisure, has gone to the
trouble of figuring out the number Of
lawsuits brought in each country in a
year, and he has reached the conclu-
sion that the United States is better
country for attorneys and counselors
than any other civilized land under the
sun. He figures as lawsuits civil ac-
tions only, taking into no account pro-
ceedings of criminal character
brought by the public authorities
against individuals. He has ascer-
tanned that, taking the figures for the
last 10 years as a fair average, there
are 1880, 900 lawsuits brought in Eng
land every year, $50, 900 in France, l.
100000 in Italy, 8,9OO,OOO in Germany
and 5,5OO,OOO in the United States.
1t is not to be inferred from this, says
the New York Sun, that the people of
one country are much more prone to
litigation than are the people of an
other, but the explanation is to be
found in the fact that the conditions of
litigation vary exceedingly. Going to
law in England is very expensive bust
ness, for it entails OUTLAWS in the form
of costs and expenses so large that
many of the courts are practically
closed to persons of modest means, and
long litigation unsuccessfully pur-
sued ends often in bankruptcy. In
France the number of lawsuits is kept
down through the general practice Of
arbitration" as many as 100000 cases
in year, especially those arising from
disputes ever wages, being settled by
this agency without onerous cost to
either party. In Germany a great ma
jority of cases are petty ones, involving
a small amount of money and due,
many of them, to customs or usages
which are not sufficiently defined to
be, in all cases, similarly understood by
both parties to an agreement. This is
especially the case in the farming dis
tricts of Germany, and there are many
legal disputes in the manufacturing
districts, too.
The number of cases credited to the
United States seems enormous, but 1t
is probably accurate. There are, for
example, eleven district courts for the
disposal of civil cases In New York
city. In one of these courts, by recent
report, the number of actions brought
in year was shown to be 9,100. These
courts have before them each year, on
the average, $4,000 cases. The cases
brought in the state courts Of New
York amount in year to about $780,
600, and of those brought in the fed
eral courts New York furnishes very
large number. Taking the whole coun-
try through, it seems that the average
number of cases per thousand Of pop
ulation is in the neighborhood Of rs to
so. The number of lawyers in the
United States is materially larger than
in any other country in the world, and
the amounts in dispute here are much
greater than elsewhere.

BASEBALL BY PROXY.
How a Game Played in St. Louis
Was Seen in New York.

visitor had occasion to drop in at
Madison Square Garden. He spent
the afternoon in the place and this
is what he he says:
During a part of the afternoon
the front end of the garden" is
used as bowling place for base
ball cranks. There was erected on
the stage an immense screen on
which was painted, in perspective,
a baseball field. The game over
which a powwow was being held,
was between the New York and
St. Louis teams, and was being
played in St. Louis.
In front of this screen sat tel
egraph operator, and beside him on
a table was a lot of keys. He had
his ear to the wire as you might
say, and as fast as a move was
made in St. Louis it was tel.
egraphed to this operator who in
turn indicated it on the screen. At
the bases and different points in the
field there are holes cut in the
screen and behind each of these
holes is an endless band which is
hung on a roller exactly like a
roller towel. These have painted
on them, faces, figures and flies +"
By pressing the proper key and
holding it just long enough the op-
orator causes these roller towels to
revolve electrically until the proper
figure shows opposite the various
openings. At one side is a large
chart telling the names of the play
ers and also giving to each num-
Der. About the field are small
figures of men standing on balls.
The color of these balls, which is
changed with each inning, and
would be either red or white, indi-
eating which team was in the field.
At the home base appears number
indicating the player who is at the
bat in St. Louis; at another open
ing figures appear showing the
number of strikes" and balls"
called by the umpire. If the bats
man hits the ball and it is caught,
a large painted fly appears at an
opening in whichever field it is
caught, whether right, left or cen
ire.
If the batsman gets to first base
either through having made a
safe hit" or through the pitchers
errors, a players face appears at
the opening at that base and so on
around. When a run is scored a
peculiar gong strikes and a larger
figure appears to the credit Of the
batting nine.
What most impressed me was
the great interest and excitement
caused by these inanimate indica
tors. The men on the main floor
were seated around tables. q
mightexplain for the benefit of our
temperance readers that object of
these tables is to give the members
something to pound on whenever

OUR ENGLISH RULER.

It. seems to the average American
that Cleveland, in everything he hoes
or says, is trying to follow British ex-
amples, and do what is most profitable
to England. It has been such in the
past and will so continue to the end OF
his career as chief executive of the
United States. Democrats as we'll as
Republicans, are dissatisfied, have
been for some time and are becoming
more dissatisfied with each succeeding
day. 1t is to be hoped that Legislation
