NEY'S EXECUTION.

Absurd Attempts to Prove That Mar.
shall Ney Escaped to America.
ga Family Record OF Ney's Execution"
written by Nine. Campan, is contributed
to the July Century by relative OF this
lady, George Clinton Genet of Green
bush, N. Y. Mr.. Genet, in preparatory
note, says: An absurd attempt has been
made recently TO prove in published
volume th,t Ney was not shot In 1915,
but escaped TO America and became
schoolmaster IN North Carolina, where
he lately died. An alleged facsimile of
his writing is given in the book, as we'll
as one CT the writings of the old French
cavalrymun who, it is alleged, when
drunk on certain occasion, declared
himself to be the Duke of Elchingen.
The writing, which 1t is claimed is the
genuine writing OF the marshal, seems
doubtful when compared with that
known to be his, and the assumed simil-
arity between that and the writing of the
old French soldier OF North Carolina Is
inconceivable. 1t is absurd to suppose
that Ney should have proclaimed himself
to be the Duke OF Elchingen, since at the
time OF his execution he was Prince OF
Moskowa, aud no longer Duke OF Elch-
ingen.
IL isimpossible that, as Is asserted in
the book referred TO, Ney should have
at by musKets charged with powder alone,
and after falling and pretending to be
dead, should have Uttered himself TO be
carried into exile In strange land. At
the battle OF Waterloo Ney vainly sought
death wherever the battle was fercest.
with an army OF 10000 men still left, he
capitulated under the walls OF Paris, upon
condition of general amnesty OF offenses
both civil and military. These terms
were basely violated, and to satisfy the
clsmor OF the returned uristocrats OF the
old regime, Ney was executed. Yelling
ton could have prevented this crime after
the condemnation by the chamber of
peers, but did not, for reasons best
known TO himself Ney wss offered an
opportunity TO escape, but refused. He
asked the soldiers to fire at his heart,
and they did.
Moreover, at the time when II is claimed
that Ney was conceallng himself In North
Carolina. Joseph Bonaparte was living at
Bordentown, and his house aud his for
tune would have been at Ney's disposal.
Moreover after the fall OF tho Bourbons
there would have been no reason why
Ney should not have returned 10 France.
In 1892 Eugene Ney, his third son,
visited the United States, and went to
the house of his kinsman Genet. who re-
sided on the Hudson, near Albany, bat
never heard OF this alleged Duke OF Elch-
ingen. IL is useless to follow these abb
surd i,ies further. Ney Is buried In Pere
ia Chaise at Paris. with two OF his sons
and his hrother.in-law Gamot plain
slab marks the piece On the spot where
he was executed stands monument
erected by the French government.

The current issue OF the Monthly Bulle-
tin OF the State Board OF Health contains
a list OF all physicians who have received
cert ficates under the medical practice
act and so are authorized TO practice.
A table accompanying gives the num-
Der of physicians thus in good standing
and practice throughout the State. From
this il appears that there are only 542 ply
sicians to our total population of 3S4, ,75s
inhabitants or Ia doctors to each 1000
Inhabitants including a number from
other states that practice at our leading
resorts in the summer, although the
"summer population" is not credited
in the total population.
We Go not know the figures for other
states but 1t strikes us that this is not
too great a number of physicians to have
around and suggests that Rhode Island
offers a fairly favorable field for the young
doctors to enter. Two OF our towns,
West Greenwich with population OF
721 and Exeter with a population of 9l7
have no doctor among them. They
probably depend upon practitioners In
adjoining towns although their popula-
tion suggests that In each Of them there
is fair field for young doctor to make
q living and begin his career. In the city
OF Providence there are Is doctors TO
each 1000 Inhabitants, only a little above
the average, this capital having IN all 267
physicians, or little less than one-balf
the total number in the State.

PROVIDENCE POETRY.
HER MONEY.


Obi the charming summer girl,
With her laughing eyes SO shy,
With her dark or golden curl,
AS she bids you a good bye
And boards palace car
With darling. dear mamma.
For she goes TO spend the summer
BY the sad sea waves.
Oil the darling summer girl,
With her pretty cheeks SO fair,
With her teeth as white as pearl,
And her easy, graceful air.
Oh she dearly loves to fiirt,
Just little, now and then,
And by the sad sea waves
Oft breaks the hearts Of men.
She captivates nobleman,
AS easy as can be, IL
Only she's possessor Of
Millions two or three.
She leaves her native home
In foreign lands to roam,
But very, very often, too
Her pa and ma come home.
For the nobleman may prove
To be scoundrel In disguise,
And the summer girl she finds
Twas her money caught his eyes.
How she wishes she had married
John, or Tim, or Ned or Fred,
Or staid and tiirted with them all,
BY the sad sea waves Instead.

PRIVATE RIGHTS AND PUBLIC
BJNCOMBE

BUNCOMBE.
There have been two or three incidents
recently that have resulted In whole
some demonstration that even in its deal
ings with more or less sovereign COM
munities private capital has rights, and
contracts between such communities and
private corporations cannot be violated
by a whim OF the former without liabil-
ity.
The most recent case OF this kind is
that OF the Westerly Water Works corpor-
alton against the town of Westerly. The
corporation has contract TO furnish
water to the town of Westerly. Last
spring the Town Council composed OF a
handful OF citizens, voted to establish a
water system OF its own and went so far
as to make contracts for building town
water works. The scheme was to the
ordinary lay mind plainly a violation of
the contract with the water works cor
poration which would have been driven
out OF business and its plont left on its
hands valueless except for junk. The
water works corporation prayed tor an
injunction to prevent the Town Council
from going ahead with its plans.
The decision OF Judge CARPENTER in the
United States Court supports the petit
tioners and places on record another bit
Of good law that ought to have re-
straining influence on the disposi-
tion that has been manifested
in SO extraordinary degree
here in Rhode Island in recent months
to use semi-public corporations as shut
tlecock for political battledores and to
threaten them with inane or malevolent
propositions that recognize no right in
contracts superior to socialistic dema
goguery. Judge CARPENTER in the par
ticular Westerly case concludes that
under the State law governing the
transactions as interpreted by our Su-
preme Court, the water works corporation
has no exclusive right to the highways
and that the town has general right to
construct and MAINTAIN water works. But
as impairing the obligations OF contract
the Court decides that the action of the
Town Council, as taken, can find no sup
port in law for the fundamental reason
that IT impairs the obligation of the
contract with the water works corpor-
alton, violates and destroys that con.
tract. The plea OF the town that such a
decision would occasion loss to II be-
cause contracts for construction have
already been made pending settlement
OF the dispute calls for no sympathy
and makes no argument.
son the whole" says the Court, con-
cluuing In fine fiat foote fashion, "the
enterprise in which the town has EN-.
barked seems to me to be no less than a
project, without any plausible excuse, to
coniscate the property OF these complain
ants; and the argument OF. the town on
these motions seems to be an attempt to
show that this project can be carried to
completion under the forms OF the law.
To such an argument am not inclined
to give any greater weight than that to
which 1t is entitled under pointed rules
of law and pointed rules of decision"
And the injunction is granted.

British Subjects Beyond the EsseQuibo

Any study Of Guiana must be.from the
delta Of the Orinoco or along the many
stream that interlace the country. The
reason Is obvious. The.country Is almost
as unknown as many regions in the
heart OF Africa. There are no means OF
communication except the rivers, with
here and there few mule paths extend
ing from the right bank of the lower
0rinoco to the mining camps of the in
terror. In all this vast territory doubt
II there are more than twenty thousand
inha abitants. Nine-tenths OF these are
wandering tribes of uncivilized Indians,
who respect neither law nor govern
ment. One man / met, who was familiar
with the district, said that not over
six thousand people live in the delta
north and east OF the Essiquibo up as far
as Ciudad Bolivar; but in, the English
statement OF the case, reference IL made
to the forty thousand British subjects.
The vast majority OF the in ma bitants are
Indians and half breeds, who never heard
of England. A friend of.mine met Ser
geant Barnes on board q steamer and
Barnes told him that the one English
family he personally knew of in his
territory was an EnglIshman and his
native wife ana half breed children. This
population, moreover, Is floating one.

work. When the boundary line is drawn,
