Judpe EIIlson's Lecture.

Judge Alfred Ellison had nm au
dieuco Mt the Christian church last
night of which any lecturer Nigh,
have been proud, and which was n
deserved compliment to hIm as II
citizen. This was his first deliverl
of his lecture, kings aud Queens.
1t was remarkable bright, breezy
presentation of the familiar aspects
of character which lecturers prefer.
because they are about the only top
les in which MI audiences are euual
ly Interested. The sallies of wit and
pertinent illustrations that relieved
the graver discussions of life and
character wore often admirable aud
were most cordially received b. the
audience, which was unmistakably
friendly. The lecture was more
rapidly delivered than is the custom
of the professional platform orator,
and the audience was carried
through the consideration of topicr
grave and gay, so that the hour and
n quarter occupied seemed even
briefer. The hearty round of mp.
plause that greeted the conclusion
was alike n tribute to the personal
popularity OF the speaker and the
entertainment he had afforded his
hearers.-1nderSon Morning Her

the secretary. The following is a copy
of the letter.
DEAR BOOTH,-- am finally

STARVING PARIS DOCTORS.
Free Hospitals Cut Into the Practice of
MANY Physicians.

Free Hospitals Cut Into the Practice OF
MANY Physicians.
A double suicide, which shocked
Paris the other day, brought to the at
tention of the public the financial
straits in which, it is said.
the majority of the physicians
of that city live, says the
New York World DR.. Arnaud de
Lanyard, an old physician, who had
been decorated by the government for
brave conduct during the cholera cpl
demic many years ago, committed sui
eide with his wife because his practice
had dwindled to the vanishing point
and starvation was staring them in the
face. In commenting upon the trag-
edy several newspapers asserted that
in Paris not more than one doctor out
of five is able to make more than the
barest living. Among the causes OF
this poverty among physicians is the
restitution of most of their patients.
Medical science has made great strides,
too, that maladies of ali sorts are more
quickly cured, and such precautions
are taken to prevent the spread of con-
tagious diseases that epidemics are be-
coming practically unknown. The num-
Der of doctors. on the other hand, has
rapidly increased. Another reason why
there is not practice enough to go round
is that in many of the hospitals people
can be treated for nothing or at a very
nominal figure. Many of these hospi-
tails have trained schools, which are
free in which are taught the rudiments
of medicine and surgery. These
schools are largely attended and many
sick people are taken in hand at their
own homes by some member of the
family who has profted by this in
struction.

A-No, but saw him almost imme-
diately afterwards. He stood erect
with his right arm straight out holding
the pistol.
Q-What then did he do?
Ale looked kind of sideways at the
murdered man and then walked back
over the ground he had run after Mr..
Cruger. and back to the alley.
Q-Was Cruger running toward Gaines
or away from him when he shot?
A-Oh, away from him.
Odd Gaines fall when Cruger
struck him?
A-No.
Odd he fall down or partially down
or stagger any time during the fight at
the wagon?
A-.No, sir, he did not.

O. How long have you lived in To-
peka?
A-Twenty-f four years
Q-Was your husband once arrested
for selling liquor?
Ale was
Odd he not blame Gaines for that
arrest?
A-Why. no. 1 don't think he did.
Mr. Welch followed this at length, but
failed to elicit anything satisfactory to
the defense.
Q-Then you persist in calling this a
murder?
A-Why, 1 have certainly always
thought of it as such.
Odd you not testify at the coroner's
inquest that this wagon was only 80 feet
from the pump?
Ayes. did. (The witness tried to
explain how it happened, but Mr.. Welch
refused to listen.)
Odd you hear Gaines swear?
Al only heard him use one oath, as
he started after Cruger he yelled, III
fix YOU and just as he stopped to shoot
he said, You c. d son of a gun
Q-How soon did he shoot?
A-Almost as quick as he said the last
word
Q-Did you see Crdger run past the
open kitchen door?
Ayes
Q-When was that in reference to the
shot?
Aust before the shot.
Q-Didn't you say to De Wilkerson
and Art Wellman afterward that You
first heard the shot and then saw Cruger
run past the door?
Al don't think 1 did. 1t certainly
wasn't in my mind that way.

Recently Fitz turned Nero loose in the

goat, Princess, just rid of generous
quantity of milk for the infantiie Fiz-

leap. The goat stood her ground, and
met the lions advances with lowered

the latter Miss Goat met Mr. Lion, and
then there was a fall. The w all was
narrow and the fall precipitate. Gath
ering himself together, and with low
gutteral grunt Nero made another dash
al the goat. 1his time the goat broke
ground and made for the street, Nero
giving chase. Fitz, Julian and Stem zler,
hearing the cries of fleeing Mexicans on
the streets, followed in the wake of goa

men and barefooted children fed in ter
ror before the brute. By turning sharply
across vacant lot Fitz finally intercept
ed Nero and dragged him back to his
corral in the yard.

Jack Crooks Says Brsitenstein is tho
Greatest Pitcher on Earth.
Jack Crooks thinks that Theodore
Breitenstein is the greatest pitcher he
has ever seen on the diamond.
"Breitenstein," said Crooks, has great
speed, magnificent control of the ball
and d variety of deceptive curves. He
also displays great head work in the
box and l never saw him show the white
feather. Rusie is considered the speed
lest of pitchers, but l have seen Breiten-
stein put them over the plate as fast as
Amos ever did in any game / played
against him. For left-handed twirIer
his speed at times is something phenom-
inal. Theodore has a free arm move
mont when pitching. This accounts for
his steady improvement every year.
