inquest Saturday afternoon on the body Of
Michael D. Harter, whose suicide was an
nounced In Saturdays Star, and decided
that the deceased had killed himself while

ton. Mr.. Harter arrived In FOstOria sew

it was discovered that he was dead. He
was lying in bed, with frightful wound
in the right temple. His hands lay upon
his breast, and in them was grasped .3S-
caliber revolver, from which the bullet had
been fired.
Mr. Harter had 6isrobed carefully. On
the bureau lay his cravat and letter adj
dressed to his wife in Philadelphia. There
was nothing in the letter to indicate his
purpose to take his life.
There was also telegram to Mrs. Har-
ter, in which Mr.. Harter asked her to see
that his life insurance assessments were
paid.

ceived directing that the remains of Mr..
Harter be taken to Mansfield. The remains

publican legislators vino have refused to

FRIGHTE'UL LEAP TO DEATH.
Sensational Suicide of n Toronto
Ont, Merchant.

Just before noon Saturday a little girl.
who was crossing the Rosedaie bridge, at
the second ravine in Toronto. Ont, saw a
man walk on the bridge and throw his hat
ever the railing. Then he paused. climbed
the rail and leaped headlong into the depths
below. a distance of 40 feet.
The act was most deliberate and done so
quickly that the frightened child had not
time to cry out In its descent the body
turned twice in the air, striking the
ground with a crash that could be heard
fifty yards eway. Death was instantaneous
and the body was shockingly mangled.
When the police and a few pedestrians ar
rived on the scene it was discovered that
the dead man was James Scott. for forty
years a prominent dry goods merchant on
hrng street east Mr.. Scott was suffering
from an acute form of neurasthenia and his
malady had undoubtedly affected his mind.

Saturday. says:
The celebration of Washington's birthday

s'rged into the halls and began a class
fight.
President Burroughs rushed in, but was
pushed aside and his entreaties drowned by
the hilarious yeils of the students The
other members OF the faculty were treated
likewise, and all except President Bur
dcushs soon retired. He stayed and en-
deaNored to address the students 2 dozen
times, but the students paid no attention to
him. 1t IS said that wholesale exclusions

THE ETHICS OF MEDICINE.

1t is against lthe ethics of medicine to invent a patent medicine or surgical instrument. It is against the ethics of medicine ito profit by the sweat of ones brow and lbhe ideas of ones brain. The man who invenits a surgi- cal instrument must not profit by it any more than tine idiot who sits and takes his ease and steals any ideas that brainy, hard-wOrking man con- ceives. If he does, its against the ethics of medicine If man makes a discovery in medicine and saves a hopeless case he must not talk about it, nor must he let his friends know what he has succeeded in doing. If he does he violates the ethics of med icine. But it is not against the ethics of medicine to perform malpractice. It is not against the ethics of medicine to know nothing about one's profes- sion and to kill off patients by Ibhe hundred. A man who says that a com- pound fracture is a sprain, who diag- noses a fractured skull as case of drunkenness, who performs laporotomy for pain in the ear; such man does not violate the ethics of medicine and may hope some day to become presi- dent of the County Medical Society.
 The German-American staff of ex- pert specialists now temporarily To- cated at the Big Tent, corner Sixth avenue and Washington street, are in dependent practitioners bound by no code of ethics. They believe the peo- pie of Phoenix prefer facts to assumed reticence; therefore, they are induced to submit a few names of those who know whereof they speak:
