How NOT TO NURSE.
The Vigorous Outburst of n Victim-
Ized Patient.

ized Patient.
Helen Hunt jackson, in n letter to
her physician, destribes a stupid nurse
as follows;
Can I endure the presence of this
surly. aimless COW another day? No!
Why?
She has less faculty than any human
being / ever undertook to direct in
small matters.
When / ask her to bring me anything,
she rises slowly with movement like
nothing 1 ever saw in my life, unless it
be a derrick.
She sighs and drops her under jaw
after every eXertion.
She 'sets" with a ponderous inertia
which produces on me the most remark
able effect. have morbid impulse
TO fling my shoes at her head and see
what would come of it.
She asks me in dismal tones if am
well in other ways besides my throat,
conveying the impression by her slow
rolling eyes that L look to her like a
bundle of unfathonable diseases.
She takes the tray out of trunk to
get some article at the bottom (where
articles always are), and having given
me the article asks helplessly If she
shall put the tray back again. (IIappy
thought.) Next time I'll tell her: mo,
we keep the trays in piles on the floor. "
Is this Christian2 No, for she is
well-meaning and wishes TO do Alright,
and don't doubt every glance of my
eye sends a thrill of inexplainable dis
comfort through her.
But as professional nurse she is the
biggest joke ever saw.-Every Where

BOARD OF HEALTH MEMBER ARRESTED
CONSIDERABLE INTEREST MANI
TESTED IN ELKTON'S BOARD OF
HEALTH WAR.

Elkton, Md, July 31.-Dr. Howard
Bratton, secretary of the local Board
of Health, has been arrested on a war
rant sworn out by President George B.
Kerfoot, of the Town Council, charg-
ing him with dumping night soic upon
his Let within the limits Of the town.
Last night he was arraigned before
Magistrate Nelson K Warner. DR..
Bratton was represented by Austin l..
Crothers, while President Kerfoot and
Secretary Mackan conducted the case
for the town. The town failed in its
case and Magistrate Warner dismissed
the case against DR.. Bratbon.
Some weeks ago DR.. Braluton invited
DR.. John s. Fulton, Of the state board,
to visit Elkton, and the two made a
tour of the town with view to i'm
proving its sanitary condition. They
made a report to the Town Council at a
public meeting, where the conditicn of
affairs was freely discussed, and the
health officers recommended the Coun-
ell to take steps to Immediately purge
the town. AT a subequent meeting of
the Town Council the subject was
taken up and dismissed as being Eek
aggerated."
This provoked DR.. Brattcn to a re-
joinder by publishing a letter, in
which he contends that he did but his
duty and that the Council was dereiici
in that respect
The arrest has aroused considerable
interest and IL is likely that the mat.
ter will net be dropped.

SPRUNG A SURPRISE
Strong Statement of the Defense
in the Luetgert Trial at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Ex.Judge Vim.
cent sprung surprise on the prosecu.
ton in the Luetgert murder trial in his
opening statement by reference to a
man named Robert Davey, who, he
said, was the original medium through
which all of Luetgert's trouble arose,
and whose actions resulted in Luetgert
being arraigned before the bar of jus
tice, charged with murder.
IA little over year ago, Satan, in
the shape of medium-sized, we'll.
dressed and educated Englishman
named Robert Davey came to Luetgert,
and was the cause of all his trouble. "
said ex-Judge Vincent. "This man
came with forged letters of introduc.
ton, representing himself as man Of
great means. Luetgert has always car
ried his heart on his sleeve as you will
see when he goes on the witness stand. p"
This was the first official notice that
Luetgert would testify in his own be-
half, and the announcement was rc-
ceived with show of interest by the
prosecution and the spectators.
Davey had a scheme by which stock
company of Englishmen should be
formed to buy Luetgert's factory, allow
ing him to retain large block of stock
and also paying him a good sum in cash.
Before he had finished Davey had Dor.
rowed $4,000 of Luetgert, and it was
subsequently discovered that the Eng
lish company was a myth, though the
4 n for
the discovery was made.
The attorney lid Of Luetgert's strug.
giles after this. How his business had
been injured by the closing of the fac.
tory, and in addition to the loss OF
$25, 900 to Davey he lost by the failure
of E. S. Dreyer & Co. 8 bank. Then he
borrowed $4,000 from Foreman Bros.
bankers, placing another mortgage on
his factory. Finally the failure came
and the disaster drove Mrs. Luetgert to
the verge of insanity. Later the woman
became insane, the lawyer said, and
wandered away.
Ex-Judge Vincent denied that the
couple lived unhappily. He said thei,
lives were not continuous honeymoon
but the couple lived as happily as peo
pie in their station usually do.
During the afternoon session the first
evidence for the defense was intro
duced.
The crowd at the criminal court build
ing was great and the officers expert
enced much trouble preserving order.
Attorney Vincent startled the prose

GOLD COMING BACK.

Withdrawals Frcm the Bank of England
For shipment to New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-A special cable.
gram from London to the Evening Post
says: Gold to the amount of e2OO, ,OOO
was withdrawn from the Bank of Eng.
land for shipment to New York. These
shipments are regarded as the result of
the more stringent money market in
New York, which is now watched more
closely than is the rate of exchange.
More gold is expected to 60, but at
present opinion here favors only mod.
crate total in all. That will depend,
however. of necessity largely on the
course of the markets.
