sFAuRE MEETS THE GAR.
French President Enthusiastically
Greelel hN illa. Eusainms.


St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-From early
Monday morning there was a scene of
great animation here and a steady flow
of people towards the quays, where
they embarked on profusely-deeorated
steamers to meet President Faurel at
Cronstadt. After a rainy night splen-
did weather prevailed 4 procession
of ~ yictorias and four landaus was
formed. The car and President Faure
were seated in the first carriage.
The guard of honor, which was
formed by the Red Cossachs, saluted
and the procession slowly drove to the
Peterhof palace, situated about 500
yards distant. The route to the palace
was lined with troops, and behind the
soldiers were massed enthusiastic
crowds of people, who were frantic in
their acclamations, which were re-
doubled when the procession having
passed the ridges of soldiers 40 longer
separated the people. Several bou-
quets of flowers were thrown into the
imperial carriage while the latter was
on its way from the landing stage to
the palace. Upon arriving at the
Peterhof palace, the ear presented
President Faure to the various court
officials, and then, reentering the vic
toria, his majesty drove along TO the
Alexandria palace, the residence of the
czarina. \ few minutes later Presi-
dent Faure emerged from the Peterh Of
palace, accompanied by Gen. Bidoring.
=
ace, in order to offer his homage to the
czarina. a private luncheon at the Al
eXandria palace followed. During the
afternoon the French president visited
the Russian grand dukes.

Abuse of the Dispensary.

IT may be broadly stated, as the re-
suit of exhaustive statistical study,
that fully so per cent. of the patients
who apply for free medical aid are to-
tally undeserving Of such charity. The
main reason fo- this is that no effectual
means are taken 10y the managers Of
these institutions to correct the abuse.
For the sake Of donations and the os-
tensible good accomplished by the
treatmenf of a large number Of pa
tients, these charities are 90 aged on
the usual business prineip. proving
their right to be and % per on the
assumed basis Of demand and supply.
In New York alone there are 11G dis
pensaries, each one of waich is vying
with the other in propagat ting the worst
form of puuperism. The public Is
taught that nothing is more freely
given than medical advice 20 anyone
who may ask for it. The institutions IN
question are crowded daily by hun
dreds of well-to-do patients, who arc
encouraged to defraud the really poor
and TO cheat the charitably dispose 1
doctor of his legitimate fee. All this
goes on in spite Of protests, and in open
defiance Of all laws Of ordinary decency
and fair play. The managers of these
so-called charities, who virtually have
the matter in their own hands, while
openly pretending to deploTe present
conditions, are coyertIy combating
every effort at reform, on the ground
of its impractical bility.-Eorum.
