Medical SOciety's Memorial.
Mr. Gallinger also submitted a memorial
adopted by the Medical Society of the Dis
%, opposing the pending bill The me-
mortal Is of some length, setting forth
four propositions: First, it is asserted that
without vivisection experiments there could
he no scientific biology, and medicine would
have no scientific basis; secondly, there has
teen no evidence adduced that cruel and
unnecessary experiments are being per-
formed in the District thirdly, it is not
believed that physicians and others en-
gagged in Investigations having for their
object the promotion of human knowledge
and the preve ltion or tnstigation of human
suffering, are less humane than the men,
bers of the sc cieties for the prevention of
cruelty to animals; ana, fourthly, the So
ciety finds it difficult to understand why
these "mschevous attempts should be
made to secure legislation, the effect of
tigation, wheE there is such broad field
in other directions in which the crusade
II light be carried on with greater pro-
priety.
Senator Chandler, who is understood to
favor the enactment Of law prohibiting
yivisection, asked his colleague if the Dis
trict committee is going to do anything
about the matter.
Mr.. Gallinger replied that the committee
would probably soon report favoraby a
bill regulating the practice Of vivsection
somewhat in the manner outlined in the
pending bill.

culable benefits to the human race. From
the time when Aristotle first discovered the
insensibility of the brain to the time when
the latest experiments in the use of anti
toxine have largely robbed diptheria of its
terrors, almost every important advance In
the science of medicine has been the direct
the indirect result Of knowledge ac-
quired through animal experimentation.
1T is. of course, conceivable that persons
whose occupations lead them to sacrifice
animal life for scientific purposes may at
times pay too little regard to the suffering
which they inflict, but the Academy under
stands that even those who advocate re-
strictive legislation by Congress do not
claim that such abuses exist in the District
Of Columbia, and until evidence of this
sort Is presented it would seem to be the
part of wisdom to leave the regulation of
research in the hands of the governing
bodies of the institutions in which the work
IS going on. The men engaged in this work
are actuated by motives no less humane
than those which guide the persons who
desire to restrict their action while of the
value of any given experiment and the
amount of suffering which it involves they
are, owing to their special training, much
better able to judge. When the man to

AN UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
Milwaukee Daughters of the Revolution
Preparing a Fine One

The ladies of Milwaukee, members of
the patriotic organization known as
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution," are to give unique enter
tainment during the comingweek which
will be we'll worth attending. 1t is a
loan exhibition, to be held at "The
Athenaum, F" corner of Cass and Biddle
streets, opening at 2 p. NJ, Tuesday,
March 10, and continuing day and
evening during Tuesday and Wednes-
day, with admission, SO cents foradults
and % cents for children. Ladies have
been busy for weeks securing the loan
of hundreds of articles of great interest
and value Of all kinds, but making a
special feature of objects relating to
early American history of the colonial
and revolutionary periods.
The indefatigable research. of the la
dies has unearthed in Milwaukee and
neighboring cities an astonishingly
large number of most quaint and inter-
esting articles associated with we'll
known characters of those early times.
Among the attractions will be rooms
fitted up in colonial style and furnished
with antique furniture, large number
of historic documents, manuscripts and
books, old laces, fans, jewelry and sill
verware and rare china, besides a fine
collection of Indian curios, and many
strange and beautiful articles from for
eign countries.
The entertainment is for the purpose
of raising funds to be devoted to patri-
otto purposes, such as marking his
toric spots, endowing chairs of Ameri-
can history in colleges, offering schoo
prizes for essays upon patriotic and his
toric subjects, etc., etc. In all of which
good work the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution are actively engaged.
The worthy object of such efforts calls
for the assistance of all, aside from the
large returns offered for the price of
admission in the way of rare enter
tainment.

wants just another bite at the public
crib? We couldn't do it. He is a neces-
sary evil.
What would we do without the self
styled lawyer, the man who looks wise
and never combs his hair? We couldn't
do it. This class Of citizens is harder
to exterminate than the Russian this

What would we do without the old

sooner whine than eat? We couldn't
successfully run even a town caucus
without him.
What would we do without the pro-
