MEDICAL BOARD PROPOSES TO LAND
ON A FORT WAYNE INSTITUTE.
Size of It's Business as Measured by
Postage Stamps and StenOgra-
phers-Tts Plan.

The State Medical Board has set it's foot
down hard upon the United States Medical
Institute of Fort Wayne, which has been
doing a land-Office business during the last
year or two. 1t is owned by a man named
Tierney, who is one of the most extensive
advertisers in the country. The institute
advertises that it treats all forms of weak
ness ard disease, and claims to diagnose all
cases, the description of which are sent by
mail, and then sells mixtures to cure the
complaint. 1t has no hospital or building,
but the size of its business is demonstrated
by the fact that about twenty stenogra-
piers are employed, while it uses $50 worth
of postage a day and it's bills for printed
matter run up to 5000 a month. Some of
the advertisements ask the reader to com
muncate with the United States Medical
Institute and part of them ask him to write
to "A. p. Johnson, Fort Wayne"
Tierney employs a physician for the sake
of appearances, and it was in this way that
the matter came before the state board
DR.. Andrew Robinson, who held a county Ii
cense under the old law. is employed by
Tierney, and applied for license under the
law. The board investigated the mat
ter, and as a result his application was re-
Jected. The board went further and by
resolution it declared that not only would
1t refuse to grant a license to anybody con-
nected with the institute" but it would
forthwith revoke the license of any physi-
clan who should connect himself with it.
I'VE regard the work and methods of the
institution as thoroughly disreputable and
fraudulent" said one of the members of
the board, land we shall do what little we
can toward ending its existence"
AHege 1t Is Spite Work.
President Hamilton, of the board of
trustees of the American Medical College
and DR.. Kelsey, who is at the head of the
college, yesterday declared the statement
that the college had been negotiating to
have it's classes graduated by one Of the
colleges recognized by the State Medical
Board was without foundation. Our col
lege will go ahead usual said DR. Kel
sey Possibly our classes may be some
what smaller on account of the action of
the board, but we have one of the most
capable faculties in the State and our stu
dents continue to come to us from various
States. We have no fear upon the subject
of licenses for them. We have the advice
of some of the best attorneys of the State
upon this point, and we have no doubt of
our rights. No legitimate business can be
ruined through spite work, and that is all
this thing amounts to. We toreSaW all
this difficulty when DR.. Curryer was APP
pointed upon the board. When we pur-
chased the charter and business of the old
ton Of which Dr. Curryer was one of the
trustees, fell into our hands and he made
a rather ungentlemanly effort to seize them.
We found out the cause of his anxiety when
the records disclosed that they were pre-
pairing to give away twenty-five diplomas.

MARK TJV4IN SAYS IT'S 4 HE.
He is Not Out of Debt-Still Owes About
 S5O,OOO

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 5.-Mark Twain's publishers in this city have just received a cablegram from the au- thor in which he emphatically denies the report that he recently wrote a let ter to a personal friend in this country stating that he had made sS2,000 the last two years and had paid his busi- ness debts, in full The cablegram dat ed November 4, and sent from Wien, Austria. reads:
 Bliss, publishers: Lie. Wrote no such letter Still deeply in debt."
 The facts are that MT. Clemens still owes about s50,000 on account of C. l.. Webster & Co.,, debts which represent about one-half of the original indebt- edness of that firm the half which the noted author needs not pay, but which he says he will pay dollar for dollar. He has great faith in the stay ing abilities of his new book Follow ing the Equator" which is soon to be published in this country and England and he hopes soon to realize enough from it's sale to be able to turn over a handsome sum to his creditors. Be- yond these business debts, which weigh upon him so heavily, he owes nothing and with them out of the way would have no cause to worry as to the fu- ture.

A PENSION ROLL OF 976,Ol4
VETERANS RECEIVED S130, ,709, ,e4e. 1s
 LAST YEAR.

The List of Soldiers Who Arc Receiving
 Aid from the Government Increased 3d.
 O72 During the Twelve Months, Net
 Gain of 5,336 Over the Previous Year
 Sixteen Revolutionary Pensioners.
 Washington, Nov. 5.-The first an- nual report of Commissioner of Pen- sions H. Clay Evans to the secretary of the interior was made public to-day A summary follows:
 There were added to the rolls during the year the names of 50,101 new pen sioners and there were restored to the rolls 3,9T pensioners who had been previously dropped, total of 54,072
 During the same period the losses to the roll were 31 ,960 by death, 1,074 by re-marrlage of widows and mothers, 1854 by legal limitation, (mtnors), D. 6S3 for failure to claim pension for three years and 3,560 for other causes.
 The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30, 1897, was 97S,014. The net gain over the previous year was 5,336. It will thus be seen that the pen sion roll has not yet begun to show any dimunition. Seven widows of rev. olutionary soldiers and nine daughters of revolutionary soldiers are still on the rolls. During the year 94,454 pen sion certificates were issued.
 During the same period 76,294 claims of various classes were disalloWed.
 The amount disbursed for pensions during the year was $139, 799, ,242.12, and the amount disbursed by treasury set | clement was $50, ,457.2S, totatl of S139, | 949, 717.35. This exceeds the amount dis l bursed during the fiscal year 1896 by l the sum of $1 ,5S4, ,4S0.1S. The appropri- | ation for the payments of Pennsylvania pensions for the fiscal year of 1897 was 1 only $14000,000, the average annual l value of each pension at the close oi | the year was $133.17.
 The averagt annual value of each pension under the general law was | $162.0 .04 each; under the act of June 27 1890, was $10925. The aggregate an nual value of all pensions at the close of the year was s129,795,42S There were A original and seven duplicate bounty land claims admitted and IA; original claims of this character re. | jected.
 l agencies, Commissioner Evans recom- mends that the executive order of July If suspending operation of the order ot i February 6, 1884, the latter of whict provided for the consolidation, be con. tinued indefinitely, and says, further Am still of the opinion that the re. duction and consolidation of the pen sion agencies at this time Is not only unnecessary but inexpedient; that the disruption of business in the agencies the business for the interior depart ment and the general convenience o1 the service would more than offset the saving to the government" In couclu. sion the report recommends the publi. cation of a complete list of pensioners and of the passage of a law to the enc that no pension be granted to the widow of any sodiers that shall marry | hereafter

YALE,s DEBATERs CHOSEN.
Representatives of the Blue in the Yale
 Harvard Debate.

In the final trial debate for the Yale Harvard debate, last evening, the fol- lowing four men were selected out of fifteen competitors to represent Yale: J. K. Clark '99 of Brooklyn, N. Y, H. w. Fisher '9S of New Haven, F. F. Richardson '9S of Lancaster, N. H., and H. A. Jump '99 L. s.
 To H. A. Fisher was awarded the Thacher prize of $75 for being the best debater The prize was contested for only by debaters from the academic de- partment.
 Nr Fisher was the winner of the Thacher prize last year and also rep resented the university in the Yale Princeton debate last spring. He is a debater who does credit to the univer- sity and city.
 The question last evening was: Re solved, That the United States should annex the Hawaiian Islands," This is the question to be debated in the inter- collegiate contest Yale has the nega- tive of the question, and so naturally most of the contestants for places chose | to speak on that side in the contest last | evening.
 1 President s. N. Clark of the Yale | union presided. Each speaker was given ten minutes in which to give his contribution to the Hawaiian question. Pro-annexationists in the debate con- tended with much spirit, and every | semblance of truth, that the islands were essential to the safety and protec- tion of our coast and would, if annexed, add to the material prosperity of the nation. Then the anti-anneXationists stepped upon the platform and proceed ed to spike the other fellows guns by pointing out, so that every one saw that l they must be right, that such foolish thing as the annexation of the islands, so far from being an advantage for protecting our coast. would be a source of weakness, while as for the material advantages to Uncle Sam, what could be more detrimental to him than to have a state composed largely of Ja- panese, Sandwich Islanders, etc., etc, made citizens of the United States? It was lucky the judges had to de- eide who debated best. Even they con- sidered long before they picked the winners. The judges were Professor A. I. hauIey, I'TolesSoI olLleoH L' Baldwin and Professor William Lyon Phelps.
 The contestants from the academic department were Hiram Bingham, jr., '9S, H. W. Fisher '9S, G. M. Ripley '9S,

Facts Relating to the Mystery Surround.
 ing the Death of Alice Brown.
 Boston, Nov. 5.-Medical Examiner Draper, after making an autopsy upon the body of Alice Brown, who was found dead yesterday at 15 Corning street, this city, decided to-day that death was due to strangulation and that the girl was murdered. The au- topsy was performed this forenoon.
 Dr. Draper, beyond stating the cause of death, will not say anything regard ing the case at present. The police
 are making thorough investigation. Three men were detained by the police yesterday, and are still in custody. The
 girl, who was an inmate of cheap lodging house, was found dead in her
 room. The body was fully dressed. The names of the men detained are
 Edward Hurd, proprietor of the house.; Thomas Hughes and John Curran,
 lodgers. They are held as witnesses,
 and to-day J. T. Stowell was taken into
 custody. He is also held as a witness. It was learned this afternoon. that eight finger marks were found on the woman's throat by Dr. Draper. Officer Kelley, who went to work on the case l yesterday, says he has found a young | woman who was most intimate friend of the dead girl. This woman says that | Alices name was not Brown, but was l Redmond or Rediman. She thinks that
 Alice came from Amherst. She also recalls the fact that few days ago | A o, lot ,oest,,, o,IxoI n, l field, Mass She seems to attach some | little importance to this circumstance and is under the impression that Alice | told her that she had relatives in that | town.
 | The case was far from being solved this afternoon. The police are satisfied that Miss Brown entertained visitors
 about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. One of the occupants of the lodging l house adheres to the assertion that he
 heard a strange man ask the girl to | marry him during the early morning. | The young woman was heard to reply: l q would not marry the best man on
 earth"
 1 This morning a Miss Gilmore called | at station 4 and told the officers that | she was an old friend of the dead girl. l The most important thing that she had
 to say was that Alice was addicted to the use of morphine. It seems that nearly a week ago Alice had said to her: There's nothing for me in life
 now"
 | It is stated that Alice had been in
 Worcester insane asylum and had
 been more or less Respondent since her l release.

Not a United States Cruiser.
