fined in the hospital with pneumonia
for the past week, and signaled for as

CoURT-MARTIAL ORDERED.
The Charges Against Count Esterhazy To
BE Inquired Into.

Paris, Dec. 6.-The military governor
of Paris. General Saussier, has ordered
court-martial to examine into the
charges brought against Count Ferdi-
nand Walsin Esterhazy. the retired ma
jor of the French army, who is accused
of writing the letter which brought
about the sentencing of Alfred Dreyfus
to Imprisonment for life. The Journal
says the decision of Saussier was based
on the report of General Pellcux,
who was appointed by the minister of
war TO examine into hecharges brought
against Count Esterhazy and which was
as follows:
so far as Dreyfus is concerned the
case has been tried, no new facts have
been brought to light and no new docu-
ments have been submitted to justify
a revision of the trial In consequence
there is no ground for proceeding
against Count Esterhazy so far as re-

MOTHER MKlNLEY STILL ALIVE.
The Venerable Lady Is Growing Weaker
Every Moment, However.

Every Moment, However.
Canton, o., Dec. 6.-At IL o'clock Mrs.
Mckinley was resting quietly as though
in deep and natural sleep. There has
been no appreciable change in her con-
dition for several hours. although she
is undoubtedly weakening every mo-
ment. The failing is so slow as to ap-
pear that she is holding her own. 1t
seems probable that she may survive
the day. The doctor calls at short in
tervals, but can do nothing but ease
the patient and can only say that the
end is slowly approaching. The presi-
dent slept only two hours during the
forenoon and then resumed his post at
the bedside OF his mother.
At 1:45 p. m. President Mckinley en-
tered a carriage in company with Mr..
Charles X. Miller and went to the Penn
sylvania station to take the regular
train for Washington. His last act be-
fore leaving the house was to go to
the room Of his mother to take probably
his last look at her in life. She was
entirely unconscious of his presence and
there was no forewell. The president
when he entered the room spoke low
lngly to his mother and bending over
her bed fondly kissed her goodbye.
She showed no evidence Of realizing
what was transpiring, and deeply af-
tested by the scene, the president bade
a hasty goodbye to the family and en-
tered the carriage.
At 2:3S and almost before the presi-
dent was beyond the city limits the
mother was stricken with a second
stroke of paralysis. affecting her left
side and arm. This il is expected Is
almost the last incident in her life.

Wheat Market Was Deceiving.

The wheat market has deceived eV-
erybody, dropping in the face of an
enormous foreign demand just when
some advance might reasonably have
been anticipated. The western receipts,
6.S22, ,425 bushels. against 2,964,621 bush
els last year, for the week, and for five
weeks, 33, 962, ,529 bushels, against 2O,-
S71, ,456 bushels last year for the same
weeks, are just now more impressive
in the market than the Atlantic ex-
ports. which have been 4.1S7 ,672 bushels,
-four included. for the week, against g.
O79, ,457 bushels last year, and for five
weeks, 1887, AIT bushels, against $751;
1853 bushels for the same weeks last
wear. But in the long run the outward
movement will affect prices, although
the surprisingly large increase at the
west indicates considerably greater
Weld than has been anticipated. So the
enormous receipts of cotton from plan
tations. exceeding those to date from
the great crop Of about 100000 bales
i'm 1894. tend 10 check all speculation,
although both foreign and domestic de-
mands for spinners have been material

should All BE Concentrated.

In every city having any pretensions
as a center, most of the medical op-
portunities are so scattered in different
localities as to render them of practi-
cally little use for ready reference, es-
pecially to the busy man, physician or
layman. To those who have had the
matter here involved for some time un-
der advisement the idea was suggested
by the contemplation of the opportuni-
ties afforded by the hospital district on
the west side.
1t was thought necessary in order to
attain more completeness that other
buildings should be erected. such as
dormitories for the use of visiting ply
sicians. students and others who de-
sired 10 avail themselves Of the advant-
ages OF the locality.

tory-a certain number of rooms to be
assigned as headquarters for consulting
specialists, nurses, etc.-also medical
library, laboratory, anatomical muse
um. together with the store before re-
ferred to for the sale and repair of
surgical instruments and appliances,
medical books. etc, were suggested.
Perhaps, also. building or hall for
medical congresses, state, national, or
international, or for some form or
amusement, or relaxation from the
cares of professional life. would be
deemed necessary. Medical men
throughout the city who have been
spoken to regarding the plan are enthu-
siastic over it, and declare its realiza-
ton would bring Chicago into promi-
nence before the medical world In
manner that has never been attained
before by any city on the globe.

FOR MEDICAL CENTER.
Novel Plan Under Consideration
at Chicago.
HUGE MUSEUM FOR THE BASIS

Around 1t VIII Cluster Other Buildings
All Intended to Contain Valuable Addi-
tions-Nothing Known to Modern Science
or Necessary In Any Kind OF Expert
Work VIII Be Overlooked in the Scheme
Chicago Physicians Enthusiastic.
Chicago, Dec. 6.-Plans are on foot,
which, If perfected, will make of Chi
cago the greatest medical center in the
universe and prove of incalculable ben
eft to Chicago and the physicians and
surgeons the world over. 1t is proposed
to erect in the heart of the hospital dis
trict, which centers about Wood and
Polk streets, an immense building or
group of buildings where everything
that it is possible for men of medicine
% require can be obtained upon appli-
cation.
Not only is it planned to provide a
general museum Of medical and sur
gical appliances of all kinds, such as
are used in the matter Of diagnosis or
treatment including the different
splints, X-ray apparatus, or appliances
for inspection and instruction, but
stores where every book will be on sale,
libraries where every book of import
ance known to medical science-in fact.
everything that a physicians heart
could wish to aid him i'm his work will
be available.
Hotel To BE One of the Features.
The inner man is not to be forgotten,
for it is intended that a hotel shall be
conducted in connection with the other
features of the institution. Some Of the
most prominent physicians of Chica-
go are credited with backing the
scheme, and it is even whispered that
papers of incorporation are already be-
ing drawn up for filing at Springfield.
Among the physicians named as stand
ing behind the movement are Drs. Da-
Wis, Murphy, and Morehouse, all Of
whom are connected with the county
hospital and are regarded as substan-
tial men I'm the profession.
DR. Davis was seen in connection with
his Identification with the enterprise.
and while he would not exactly admit
it, neither would he deny that he was
actively interested i'm the project. In
fact. he did not hesitate to declare the
plan a good one, and neither did. Drs.
Murphy and Morehouse.
Many Institutions Near AZ Hand.
Although the physicians named are
connected with the county hospital, the
plan is by no means confined to the
physicians in this institution. Close at
hand are the Presbyterian, the West
Side the Womens and Childrens, the
Detention hospitals, and any number
of smaller institutions, the Rush Med
ical college, the College of Physicians
and Surgeons. the Chicago Clinical
school, Women's Medical college, Den
tai college, Nurses Training school, all
of which institutions are of high or
der, both from the standpoint of build
ings, equipments and instruction.
Physicians have always complained
| more or less of the inconvenience TO
! be met with in all the present so-caled
medical centers, both in this country
! and Europe. There are many or these
places where certain advantages can be
obtained, yet all are far from being
! complete in many of the essential de-
| tails.
