"The Wages of Sin Is Death,

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Several articles recently published in the
Journal induce me to make the following
observations. / think it is worthy OF con-
sideration that familiarity with disease and
suffering does not conduce to cruelty, nor
render the attendant unfeeling. Physicians
and nurses who are necessarily thrown
into the company of the sick and minister
to their wants are no less kind and gentle
than those outside of these professions
will be pardoned, nope, for speaking words
of commentator for my own profession
when l say that medical men are not sur
passed in deeds Of mercy and acts of kind
ness by any class of persons. | have met
a large number of the most distinguished

times where the poor assembled for relief

as one could wish. / have never heard that
Florence Nightingale has been charged with
cruelty or inhumanity because OF her expert

or even in the pulpit. The man who cut
off Pearl Bryan's head is a bad man; the
man who robbed her of her womanly inno-

The advance in the wheat market of
Monday was continued Tuesday morning,
when cables came in higher and with gen.
eral demand from parties who got short
Monday. The market opened 1ac higher
than the close Monday night. Early trade
was limited, but as the news of a bullish
nature began to arrive the trade broadened
and considerable outside business was
transacted. The Thomas crop report was a
bullish factor in the market, as evidenced
by the advance in wheat. New York has
been a good buyer In this market to-day
The higher closing cables, together with
the report that Argentine would not have
more than 100000 blu wheat for export
turned sellers to cover their short lines
which sent the market rapidly up. The
and the large amount taken at New York
for export has stimulated trade, and that
Is all that is necessary to make bull mar
ket. Without trade prices drag and become
dull. but now that this feature has entered

tons verified ard see wheat sell at Tc on
this upturn and 75c before the LIST day of
April. Puts, 655sc; calls, 6S12c; curb, 67Izc

Corn has ruled remarkably strong con-
sidering the large receipts; and if large re-
ceiptS have no effect on this cereal il would
look as If the price was low enough
oats were strong in sympathy with the
other grain markets.
ProvisionS-Pork opened lower on larger
receipts of hogs than expected, but at the
decline all offerings were quickly absorbed
and the market became firm and closed
ribs are slow and trifie lower in sympathy
with pork.

CHICAGO. Feb. 251Cables again played
an important part in wheat prices, and
much strength displayed to-day is attribu-
table TO the higher foreign markets. Trade

vance of 1ssc since yesterday. Corn and
oats reflected some OF the strength OF

Wheat had another strong opening be-
cause of the Liverpool opening, showing
another advance of &c. and to the opera
tors have carried over from the previous
day a good deal of bull feeling engendered
by yesterdays news. The strength at Liv-
erpool, it was afterwards discovered, was
not all due to the previous days advance
here, but also to the fact that further
news from Argentine showed that the dam
age to the wheat crop there was Of such
serious character as to promise a reduc-
ton of the exportable surplus to about 49,
OOO, 900 bu. This added materially to the
strength. The Northwestern receipts were
heavier by ZIG carloads. than on the cor
responding day of the week before, and
that, with the heavy worlds shipments

early bulge but the Argentine news already
referred to and further I'd advance

lifted the distractions to the upward trend
of the market, especially as it was remem-
bered that last week was the first for two
months in which enough wheat for a weeks

market had shot to 665sq66zc before II

tuated but little, closing at 31c.,
Oats were quiet. May opened unchanged
at 212sc, and was heavier for some time,

ings, but later it rallied as wheat and corn
went up, and closed firm at H15c.
Provisions did not share in the upward
| movement of the grain markets. The large
run of hogs and the fact that packers gen.
orally were selling proved too much for
prices. and the close showed losses of 1Oc
