fact that most people fail to distinguish
between the ignorant and in many in
stances fraudulent Chinese physicians
and those who are educated, intelligent
and conscientious. All the graduates of
the imperial medical college of Pekin are
very well educated, so 1 am we'll informed
from the best authority, but there are
only thirty of those physicians In the
vast Chinese empire, and not one OF
those understands the English language,
SO that their practice is confined mostly
to their own countrymen.
DR.. Foo is the only graduate of the i'm
perial medical college in the United
States. He is a nephew of the distin-
guished Lii Po Tai, formerly of San
Francisco, Calf, from whom he receiv-
ed much information, as to the differ
ence in the physical makeup between
the man of Oriental birth and the man
of Occidental BIRTH this difference
being caused by climate, soil, food and
environment. and all these things cause
different diseases or notifications of the
same disease, and hence rare skill Is re-
ouired on the part of the Chinese ply
sician. to SO accurately determine the ma
t,,re of the disease and the proper rem
edies to give in each particular case.

nese physicians in the United states

his works. Also to read them as printed

The Crop of Place Seekers at the City
Hall--Too Many Applicants for

The city hall this week is the rendez-
vous for two classes of people-the hunt
ed and the hunting. The former include
the newly elected candidates to the mu-
nicipal offices. and the other embraces
the great horde of would-be incumbents
or deputysflips, clerksl1ips and minor
offices in the appointive power of Off
cials, from the mayor downward. The
officials-elect seem to find fascination
in visiting the municipal palace to get
accustomed to it's charmed atmosphere
before they begin drawing pay from
the city, and the army of place hunters
seems to be aware of this weakness and
find no trouble in the corraling of their
victims.
AS there are hundreds of applicants
for each job, some of them are bound
TO be disappointed. Mayor-elect Snyder

of their own pockets. They had all the
fun they bargained for and are now ex-

tributions of the people. Some of the
experiences of the Summers were quite
expensive. and the aggregate cost
amounted to something like $500. The
receipts of. the two meetings for men
only amounted to but small fraction
of the sum required, but would have

She broke up a bird cage belonging to
him and released the bird, at which he
retaliated by grabbing a pick-handle
and smashing up some of her furniture.
Thinking herself about to be attacked,
the woman ran and got revolver, firing
two shots at Christie and wounding him
in the calf of the left leg. Upon this
showing the complaint was dismissed
and the defendant discharged.
Justice Rossiter sitting for Justice
Owens, was occupied nearly all day with
the continuation of the preliminary
hearing of A. r. Maines, president of
the Crescent Laundry company, on a
charge of embezzlement of some $400 of
the company's money. Testimony for
the defense was concluded and the mat
ter was argued at length by opposing
counsel. This was not concluded until
after the hour of adjournment when,
the case being submitted, Justice Ros-
sitter announced that he should take the
matter under advisement and would an
nounce his decision this afternoon.
A little progress was made in the ex-
animation of c. H. Hastings. accused of
obtaining money under false pretenses
in real estate deal. Before putting in
any testimony for the defense motion
to dismiss was made and argued, ruling
upon it being reserved by the magis-
trate. Then Hastings took the stand
in his own behalf and explained how the
misunderstanding in regard to the prop
erty sold had arisen. Owing to the fact
that the trial of one of the Parkhurst
league cases was scheduled for the after
noon before Justice Morrison the matter
could not be concluded and a recess was
taken until Friday at APO p. m.

To Harness the susquehanna.

York Haven. a little town situated .
few miles from York along the North
ern Central railway and the Susque-
hanna river, will shortly enjoy boom
such as is seldom given to so small a
place. One of the largest electric plants
in this country will shortly be estab-
lished there at the cost of about &c.
900, 200. 1t will be of about 10000 horse
power. They have in contemplation
the building of wall one and a fourth
miles long along the Susquehanna river,
feet at the top and IA feet at the
bottom. This water, about 900 feet
wide, will feed 20 large water wheels
for the purpose of driving the large
dynamos which are to distribute the
current of electricity through the near
by towns, such as Harrisburg, Lam
caster. York, Manchester and all the
other towns within a radius of 80 or 40
miles. It is said that the large plant
will be the means of the establishment
of three or four large mills at this
place. Early in the spring about 1000
men will be put on the works in order
to hasten it's completion. 1t is thought
that it will take about three years to
complete the plant.

TOUCHING A MILK DIET.
Some Valuable Suggestions rs to
How 1t Should BE Taken.

How 1t should BE Iakeh.
The uses of milk diet in certain
forms of disease, says the Youths
Companion, are numerous and i'm
portant. Milk is in the truest sense a
food already prepared. 1t needs no
cooking. it can be obtained anywhere,
and but few persons object TO its use,
although it must be said that where
it is made the exclusive diet for
long time certain amount OF repuS-
nance is likely to be excited. 1t begins
TO nall upon the appetite, and the reso-
luton of the patient must be strength
ened and the palate tempted by every
expedient known TO the nurse and
doctor.
Under a close adherence to a milk
diet the stomach is deprived of its
usual allowance of bulky material and
a sense of emptiness soon begins to be
felt at the pit of the stomach rms
feeling of discomfort is, however, only
temporary, and may often be relieved
by simply heating the milk almost to
the boiling point.
The mouth may become "pasty' and
the tongue coated with a whitiSn fur
These conditions are more or less de-
pendent upon the constipation which
nearly always results from milk diet,
and which is sometimes exceedingly
obstinate The bowels should always
be kept open by some gentle laxative.
Occasionally the opposite condition
of diarrhea prevails, due to the fact
that the milk is not digested. The ad-
dition of limewater or some digestive
preparation is necessary in such cases,
and will probably be ordered by the
attending physician.
While it is true that milk contains in
itself all the constituents necessary
for the nourshment of the body, and
is alone sufficient to sustain life, if
enough of it can be taken, it's exclusive
use by those accustomed to full
mixed diet commonly produces a de-
cided diminution in4the bodily weight.
This fact need cause no alarm, how
ever, so long as the milk is appropri-
ated and used up by the body.
The loss of weight is more apprecia-
BILE when SKINNED milk is used, as is
the case in intestinal disorders, where
the large bulk of fat present in ordi-
nary milk would prove injurious.
The quantity of milk to be taken
should be determined by the physician
in charge, and varies with constitution
al peculiarities, habits of life and men
tai and physical conditions. One may
begin with cup at time, and il
should be administered every three
hours. as thatIiS the time required for
it's complete digestion.
AS soon as the patient has become
habituated to the diet two tumblerfuls
every four hours may be ordered.
From one to two quarts daily is the
amount usually taken. 1t is better adj
ministered slightly warmed.

The DINGlEY BILL.
SENATOR MCMILLAN is IN FAVOR OF
IT'S PASSAGE.
Believes an Extra Session OF Con-
gress Would Bring on uncer-
tainty and Alarm Among BUSH
ness Men.

Washington, Nov Ex-senator Nc
MILAN. of Michigan, in response to a
request by United Associated Presses
representative, makes the following
statement in which he takes strong
grounds favoring as short sessions of
congress as possible and the passage
of the Dingley bill at once.
He says: For the past four years,
the business interests of this country
have been in continuous state of I'M
certainty and disturbance, due
very largely to legislative &C
ton or inaction. business men
could not look into the future
with that degree of confidence aDso-
lutely necessary for success in their
undertakings, because they could not
foresee what legislation would be en-
acted in regard to either the tariff or
the finances. More than this, the
constant and steady drift towards a
single standard OF silver, couoled with
revenues inadequate to the expenses OF
the government, led to sharp con-
fractions in the volume of money seek
ing Investment. The capital of the
world has become once more at the
disposal of our industries. unless some
new alarm shall again close the purse
strings. Such alarm can be created
most easily by continued sessions of
congress, at a time when business
needs nothing but non-interference by
legislation. AT the same time, reven-
ueS adequate to support the, govern
ment must be provided in order to pre-
vent the withdrawal of the gold neceS-
sary to maintain the parity of the
various kinds of money. In my judg-
ment, the best thing that could posi-
bly, happen would be the passage of
the Dingley bill. modified in some
respects perhaps, at the coming session
of congress. and no extra session. This
result, if reached at all, can be OBJ
tanned only by a union of the sound
money senators on both sides of the
senate, the end being simply to obtain
sufficient revenue which is not
party question. Republican success in
the middle west was obtained by the
sound money Democrats. If the
revenues shall be thus increased, the
financial question may safely be left
until the new secretary of the treas
ury can present to congress an ade-
quate plan for making such reforms
or changes as may be necessary to
place the monetary system in good
working order. The country is now
in condition to make rapid strides
commercially, and il would be the
worst possible policy for congress to
place obstacles in the way of rapid
recovery by creating fresh alarms
Therefore, the shorter the time con-
gress is in session, the better
