Quartermaster General Van Keuren to
 Order Repairs That Are Needed.
 Quartermaster General Van Keuren and Assistant Quartermaster General Colonel Morgan were at the armory last evening on tour of inspection. A number of repairs and some renova- tions were found necessary before the winter drill season opens. All the big electric lights in the drill room were turned on, plainly showing the need of repainting the walls. The vestibule pIastering was found in need of a coat of calsomine and the woodwork lacks a coat of paint, and so does the fence outside. The big doors inside and out are also to be painted and brass side and bottom guards are to be put on them.
 General Van Keuren expressed him. self as well pleased with the condition of the armory, and with the exception of the renovation above noted found nothing needed to properly keep up or improve the building.

No Quorum at Regular Meeting Last
 Evening.
 Only five members of the chamber of commerce were present at the regular meeting last evening, just half of the number requisite for a quorum Many of the members, including President Ford, are out of town. Secretary Gal lagher was at his post of duty only there was no duty awaiting him.
 Of course no business could be done without a quorum so the five faithful adjourned after waiting some time. It is probable that the report of the com mittee which had charge of the ar engagements for the reception of the South American visitors will be sub- mitted at the next meeting.

Colonizing FOrmOaa.

The Japanese can never colonize For

too weak to bear the strain Of acclima-
tization, and what they are doing now
Is to antagoniZe, If not destroy, the
race material by which alone the re-
sources Of the island can be developed.
For years to come the administration of
the island will cost vast sums, which
can i'll be afforded by such an essential
ly poor country as Japan, especially at
time when she is expending her treas
ure in expanding her army and navy.
Her object is to rival European nations
in the possession of colonies, apparently
In the belief that no nation can be
counted great except by extent of terri
tory, and this was the principal reason
why Liau-Tong, as we'll as Formosa, was
demanded as the price of peace with
China. Unjust though the forcible re-
PROCESSION Of the former territory may
have been the argument may easily be
sustained that it would have been to
Japan's advantage if she had lost the
island Of Formosa as well as the penin-
sula of au-Tong, for in the thirty odd
years that have passed since Japan aban-
doned her policy of insularity it has
been abundantly demonstrated that the

Sewers of Ancient Catacombs.

or all the romance nations. perhaps
the Italians treat their historic monu-
ments with the greatest degree of ia
miliarity-a familiarity that, arch@ol-
ogists sometimes complain, borders upon
sacrilege. However, they never destroy
what is truly beautiful, although they
may sacrifice the simply antique to en-
hanoe modern utility. The latest jour
mails from Rome tell us that the historic
catacombs of that city are soon to be
utilized as sewers. Not for years, if
ever. have the hygienic qualities of the
Eternal City been what they should be,
and the deadly fumes that arise from
the Tiber at the close Of hot July day
have sent many American tourists to
their last abode in the small but famous
Protestant burial ground. The Tribuna
shows how easily the scanty sewers of
the Porta Pia can be turned into the
oatacombs Of that quarter, which COM
municate directly with those of Santa
Agnes and Santa Priscilla And thus
do the ancient chapels of the early
Christians become the reoeptaoles for
the offal of the modern city of the Phil
istines. New York Tribune.

WHOLE NO., 32O.
English Medical Union.

Combination among members of the
same trade or profession being one of
the most prominent features of the age,
1t is not surprising to learn that the no.
tion of medical union should be in the
air. According to a medical correspond
ent of The Times, the scheme now un-
der consideration proposes to combine
the entire profession in union pledged
not to accept less than fixed minimum
fee from any patient who is not either
subscriber to a general provident fund
or entitled to poor law medical relief.
That the doctor is hard worked
member Of a noble profession who de-
serves all he is paid-and, we may add,
is not always paid all he deserves-will
be conceded by every fair minded per-
son to be beyond dispute But, with re-
gard to the question of a medical union
on the lines proposed, two objections at
once occur In the first place, it would
be extremely difficult, not to say practi-
oally impossible, to unite all the men,
bers Of calling which includes thou
sands Of persons in union based upon
uniform rate of payment. Many strug
Cling practitioners would be found who
would always be glad to take what fees
they could get, and they would do so.
Secondly, any hard and fast rule of that
kind would be impossible to enforce,
The relations between doctor and pa.
tient are SO complex and patients in
comes are Of such infinite variety that
II would not be practicable to fix an ir-
reduoible minimum Of payment.
The practice of the profession is to
charge patients according to the rent
they pay for their houses or other indi-
cations OF their financial position, and
that is SO eminently reasonable system
that one does not either expect or desire
to see it abandoned. A profession which
deals with the issues of life and death
cannot be treated on the same footing as
an ordinary calling. When one is i'll,
one sends for the doctor, and the doctor.
when sent for, comes without consider
alton ON either side as to the precise
amount Of the fee. That is human ma
ture, of which, we are happy to say,
doctors have quite as much as other
| people. On the whole, we are not very
| sanguine as TO the success of doctors

Canals Easily Wrecked.

The ease with which ship canals may
be rendered useless in time Of war has
always been brought forward as an ar
gument against dependence being placed
on these waterways for strategical pur-
poses. An illustration to the point has
happened in connection with the North
sea Baltic canal, the German fleet which
is to take part in the coming naval ma
neuvers being unable 10 pass through it,

sam Browns Escape.

One day at the White Dog mining
camp ton or more of rock and dirt fell
upon Sam Brown and fatally injured
him. During the half hour he lived he
talked altogether of his wife-what an
angel she was, how bad she would feel,
what an awful blow it would be to her,
and so ON. And many Of the boys could
not keep the tears out Of their eyes. He
left an address, so that she could be
notified, and after he had been laid
away Judge Watkins sat down and
wrote her letter. 1t hadn't been sent
away yet, when along came party Of
emigrants and camped just across the
creek for day or two. The first one OF
them to wade the creek and enter our
camp was strapping big woman, al

gait like mans. She was armed with
stout club, and there was business"
in her eye as she walked up to the judge
and began:
