British Medical Association In Con-
VentiOn at Montreal.

MONTREAL, Aug. 31.-The first session
held in Canada was called to order here
this afternoon. Many distinguished ply
sicians from the old and new world were
in attendance. After the usual prelimina-
ries DR.. Thomas G.. Roddick. NJ. P, of this
city, the newly-elected president. adj

He referred to the meeting an honor to
Canada and said that it served to impress
still more upon the memory of Canadians
the year 1897, the jubilee year of the great
cial pleasure to see so many American
physicians and surgeons at the meeting-a
proof of the cosmopolitan character of the
medical profession. He also referred in APP
preciative terms to the official representa-
tive of France, Prof Charles Ritchet pro-
fessor of physiology in the University of
France. Reference WAS made likewise to
Lord Lister, the most illustriouS surgeon of
this generation, who has made operative
proceedings possible which only twenty
five years ago would have been considered
criminal. The speaker then gave inter-
esting sketch of the rise and progress of
the British Medical Association, which was
founded in 1882, by Sir Charles Hastings
NJ. D., of Dorcester, for the benefit solely
of the provincial profession of England
but which now not only embraces the
whole of the British isles, but extends TO
that greater Britain beyond the seas, until

The death of Mrs. John Drew will bring
regret to all who have been entertained by
her stage representations-meanin a null
titude of people. In her younger days she
displayed much versatility, it is said, and
essayed tragic roles as we'll as lighter ones,
but she had a. genius for high comedy, and
it was in such parts as Lady TeaZle'' and
Mrs. Malaprop" that she won her fame.
In the latter role she was irresistible.
Twice within the past five or six years she

that she will be best remembered, and this

Suppose starvation is an incident of the

A year ago the New York Journal was
foremost among the deluded organs of Bry-
anism that were trying to convince people
that the salvation of the country depended
on the election of the Nebraska statesman
and the enforcement of free silver. What
might have happened if Bryan had been
elected can only be conjectured. but what
has happened is so patent that even the
New York Journal sees it. 1t introduces
several columns showing the enormous in
crease in work in New York during the
last few weeks, as follows:
Zeal prosperity has at last struck New
York The laboring man knows all about
it. for he has already begun TO reap his
harvest. There is employment now for
nearly all. and though wages have not been
greatly increased pay envelopes are fatter.
because artisans work six days a week in
stead of half time. as many did six months
ago. II is estimated by labor statsticians,
men who keep track of the labor demand
as closely as Wall street watches the mar
ket, that not over per cent. of the working
class is now in idleness. Six months ago
between 50 and 40 per cent. of the toilers
were out Of work and in the dead of winter
probably every other man who depends on
his muscle 10 earn his livelihood was with
out steady employment There were then
nearly 10000 dependent on friends or char
ity, or drawing their little savings to get
bread for themselves and their families To-
day less than ten thousand in the Greater
New York are out of work and some or
these are of the shiftless classes, who would
not work under any circumstances.
The Journal does not go so far as to
attribute these improved conditions to the
restoration of confidence caused by the eiec-
ton of Mckinley and the enactment of the
Dingley tariff. but other people can draw
their own conclusions

TWO SETS OF TEACHERS.
Trouble Expected at the Opening OF
the Spring valley Schools.

SPRING VALLEY, H., Aug. 31.-Trouble
is expected here tomorrow with the open
ing of the public schools. Two sets of
attempt TO teach. The two factions OF the
Board of Education are punching their re-
spective teachers, and each side expects to
be on the ground early tomorrow morning
to see that there is no interference from the
other side. Il clash can hardly be avoided.
The fight among the members of the Board
of Education dates back TO the spring cleo
ton. At that time the Spring Valley Coal
Company, after forcing an issue on the
school question and being defeated for sew
en- straight years, was successful Charles
Nee, a hold-over member. who previously
trained with the anti-company members OF
the board turned away from the latter
and given position at $50 a month
turning the llllno1S-rlVer bridge AT this
place by the new city administration,
which for the first time, Is controlled
by the coal company. Nees accession gave
the company a majority on the board, and
1t proceeded to engage teachers. Later the
anti-company members held a meeting and
declared Nee's seat vacant on account of
him moving his family and effects across
the river to Putnam county. This gave the
anti-company members a majority. They
then held meeting and were making ar
rangements TO hire new set or teachers
and call an election TO fill Nee's seat, when
they were stopped from going any further
by an Injunction. Saturday Judge Puter-
baugh, of Peoria, dissolved the injunction,
and that night the anti-company members
held a meeting and engaged a new set Of
teachers Last night they held another
meeting, and the newly hired tachers were
present TO sign contracts. The teachers that
were engaged, say the company members
signed the contracts month ago.

pending arbitration. Such an agreement
would be fair compromise. as the opera
tors have been paying less. while the min
ers demand more. Moreover, it would be
a distinct victory for the principio of arbi-
tration which, in respect of equity and
common sense. is a great advance on
strikes and lockouts. If it shall prove that
the present strike has been temporarily
settled on that line, it will indicate a per-
manent adjustment on a fair basis, which
is greatly to be desired for the sake of all
business interests

"A SOUTHERN BEAUTY"
Society Woman Objects to Sale of Her
Pictures and Is Buying All She Can.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Mrs. Edward
Bright, one of the most beautiful of the
society leaders of New Orleans, has just
succeeded in buying up large stock of her
own photographs which were offered for
public sale in many retail shops in this city.

course, nobody knew who the beautiful
original was and the prints We're scattered

the photograph trade only Mrs. Bright did
not hear of it. But when some enterprising
photographer reproduced it in large sizes,
labeled it "A Southern Beauty and sold

Governor Mount said to the "old settlers"
at Oak Grove, last Saturday, that the
farmers of to-day should be the best pa
irons of the daily newspapers and they
should keep thoroughly posted on the mar
kets Watch them carefully" he urged
and thereby learn when to dispose of your
stock and grain To the best advantage"
Governor Mount is a living example of the
results of newspaper reading, for with all
his natural intelligence and his acquain-
lance with books it is impossible that he
could have that intimate acquaintance with
public affairs and the interests of the State
which makes his administration SO wise
had he not been diligent reader of the
newspapers. But he was a successful farm
er before he entered public life. and knows
whereof he speaks when he rates the daily
newspaper as an Indispensable factoS in a
farmers success. a good many of the
men who listened to his address doubtless
knew its truth by experience, but others
needed the advice. They should heed 1t
without delay. There was never time
when it was more profitable 10 watch the

The action of the Democratic committee
of Pennsylvania in expelling w. F. Harrity
from the national committee because he de-
clined to take part in the Bryan campaign
is an amazing piece of political folly 1t
shows that tie leaders of the Bryan faction
in Pennsylvania are incapable of learning
or forgetting anything and are determined
to court defeat in 1900 more crushing than
that of 1896 In so far as the action shows
belief that the obsolete issue of free silver
at 16 to can be kept alive, it is an exhibi-
ton of political idiocy.

In commenting, recently, on the fact that
a British commission had been appointed
to promote the development of British trade
in South and Central America the Journal
suggested that this might be due to a grow
ing fear of American competition. This
proves to have been the case. The British
Iron Trade Association, in urging the APP
pointment of the commission, says that In
the countries named American and CONT
mental competition In iron and steel has OF
late years become Very keen, and is likely
to become increasingly severe. The United
States appear tc have decided that they
will in the future do with South American
countries what they have already attempted
in the Canadian markets, and with consider
able success-that is, to dispossess British
manufacturers entirely, or almost so.' The
association admits that in this competition
American iron manufacturers have great
natural advantages, some of which are
summarized as follows:
The command of abundant supplies of raw
materials of high quality at a cheap rate,
in which respect they are much ahead OF
Great Britain; the command of remarkably
low rates of railway and canal transport, in
winch, IHey dTS ulucH dLedQ Oh our
own country, and the possession of highly
efficient industrial and mechanical equip
ment, in which are included the newest
and most modern process and appliances,
for which they are largely indebted to the
ingenuity and aGaptability of their working
population; the almost entire absence of the
restrictions on industrial working which in
our own country are imposed by trades
unions; the comparative rarity of serious
labor disputes. and the high efficiency of
American skilled artisans and their an
normally high powers of production, an
American workman turning out in many
cases from one-half more to twice as much
as a British workman for days record.
1t is probable that this statement from a
British source lays too much stress on the
superior freedom of American manufacture
ers from restrictions imposed by trade
unions, as these restrictions can hardly be
more binding in England than they are here,
but aside from this the extract is a clear
admission of American superiority in some
important respects.
