THE CHEMISTS FEE.

Poughkeepsie, y. Y, is much excited
over the mysterious death of a beaut-
full young girl. named Selma Larsen. i
seems probable that she was poisoned.
but the public authorities have not yet
had chemical analysis Of her stomach
made to learn the truth Of the matter.
Objection is urged that the analysis
will cost about $1,000 That is about
five times as much as we down here
in Virginia have to pay for such ser
vice, but 1t must be remembered that
the analytical work not only requires q
great deal Of skill but the chemist must
also become the chief witness for the
State. AS such. he has TO do much
reading and studying, in order TO be
ready to stand the cross-eXamination TO
which he will be subjected. Then, too,
the results Of his labors are usually
questioned by expert witnesses who are
put upon the witness-stand by the de-
fence. Finally the chemist oftentimes
has to sit in court while the argument
is going on. and hear himself roundly
abused by the counsel for the defence
No doubt all OF these considerations
have entered into the calculations made
by the chemists who have named SlOO0
as their Fee
Physicians and chemists have never
been able TO have their services paid
for at rates as high as those willingly
conceded TO lawyers, whose work, it
would seem. requires no more intelli-
gence or skin than theirs. The reason
for this is not entirely clear TO us, but
we have heard 1t attributed TO the fact
that doctors do not stick together as
lawyers DO when a question of fees is
under consideration.

The National Executive Committee of

ing. as given out Tuesday evening, was
TO- organize Cor hitting a silver head

II was given out further, that while the
nrlncIpal battle-grounds would be Ohio,
Kentucky, and Iowa, the situation in the
South would also be looked to. This
state. we understand, IS TO receive
special attention. for II was declared
that lin Virginia, for instance, whore
the silver men have just triumphed at
the primaries, something must be done
TO beat back the free silver idea at the
