ent schools Of medical practice, and to which
they We're entitled. Subsequent events have
proved the correctness of this question. Had
the government availed itself OF the advan-
tageS of competition in this. as in all other
branches, by creating United States army
medical board, composed of representative
men from each of the prominent schools Of
medicine, empowered with general executive
authority over the various medical sub
departments of the army and navy, appor-
tioning to regiments, brigades, ETC., of the
army and to war ships, squadrons, etc, OF
the navy physicians and surgeons of the
various. schools, each allowed medical and
surgical supplies, equipments for field and
general hospitals in accordance with their
methods of practice, there is reason to be-
lieve that under such a regime, with the
earnest emulation of the different school
departments wing with each other to make
the best record for their medical and sur
gical methods of pratice, the country might
have been spared the unfavorable reports
medical service.
1t should be devoutly wished by all schools
OF medicine that our government realize the
TACT that so long as human nature con-
tinues to be modelled after the Eden trans
erosion and the millennium still hidden in
the womb of time ii is not best to trust an
absolute monopoly, even in medicine. l am
confident of voicing the sentiment of all the
other schools OF medicine in the assertion
that they bear no malice, and certainly no
envy for the one school of medicine which
to-day holds this monopoly. | believe that
majority OF the army surgeons are emf
nently competent in their methods of prac-
tice and deeply patriotic. and that much of
the adverse criticism of the army service,
both in the civil and recent war; is unjust.
l also believe that large and influential
number of the old-school doctors, recognize
ing the fact that in this Republic, whose
arbiter elegantiarium is an intelligent indie
pendent citizenship, public sentiment nodded
by highly intelligent, eminently just but
relentless, free press, free thought and free
speech. renders 1t certain that any religious
sect, medical school, transportation COM
pany, etc, which seeks and obtains from
our government an absolute monopoly in
any branch of army service, especially dur
ing such war as we have just passed
through, cannot expect to escape failure and
more or less just condemnation. They there
fore much prefer open and fair competi
ton. feeling confident that their school of
medicine would be broadened and strength
ened by admitting to fair representation the
different schols of practice in the govern
ment service, so that all may work in har-
mony for the elevation and efficiency of our
army medical service. as they are now
working together in perfect harmony on
the state boards of registration and exam
ination in Ohio, Indiana and many other
States for the elevation Of the standard of
medical education and efficiency.

THE AMBROSE-BRIGGS FEUD.
Another Shot Fired Last Night, With
out Effect.

About o'clock last night people in the
neighborhood of Stevens street and Virginia
avenue were startled by the crack of a re-
volver, fired by John Ambrose at Fred
Briggs, man with only one leg. For long
time Ambrose has had domestic difficulties,
in which he implicated Briggs. About three
months ago, in quarrel, Briggs fired twice
at Ambrose, missing each time. and was ar
rested for shooting with intent to kill. He
was bound over to the grand jury, but that
body failed to indict him. Since that time
Ambrose and his wife have separated she
living at 512 Norwood street, while he re-
manned at their old home in McClainsville.

Last night Ambrose started to his wifes
home to confer with her as to the disposal
Of their only child, little girl eight years
old. Leaving a Virginia -avenue car between
corners, he started through an alley directly
to the house, but on the way was met by his
old enemy Briggs, who, he says carried
revolver in his hand. Thinking only of the
former attack, Ambrose drew a revolver
from his. own pocket and fired one shot at
Briggs, falling to hit him, however. With
out further loss of time he ran and jumped
on a moving Virginia-avenue car. and was
soon far from the scene of action. Robert
Welsh heard the shot and ran to Briggs. He
saw the weapon in his hand and took it
from him. The police were called and Bicy-
Gle Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace arrested
Briggs for carrying a concealed weapon;
started north on car and that his home
was in McClainsville, they started after him.
and and IN twenty-fivs minutes We're hauling
where they had located him. He was sur
prised and frightened, believing that he had
seriously injured Briggs. He was arrested
and slated for assault and battery with in
tent to kill.

A 2-TO-1 GAME.
Indianapolis Won Yesterdays Game
70 in the Mud.
Western League

in the Mud.
Foreman pitched such good ball yester-
day that the Blues had all they could do to
pick up that one run. The grounds were
muddy, and it was difficult to run the bases,
but indianapolis managed to get two men
around, and that was just enough to land
the game. Pardees support was all he
could ask for, Sagle's error cutting no fig
ure in the result. 1t was better than that
given Foreman, though the Indianapolis
errors were not costly. The feature of the
game was Foreman's work, which he
topped off in the ninth by striking out Nc
Wicker and Viox and stopping Pardees
grounder. 1t was most decidedly his day,
and he had Mannings men well in hand at
all stages. Even after bad start in the
sixth he recovered in time to hold his lively
opponents down to one run.
For five innings the teams battled in the
mud and neither gained an advantage,
though it took some hustling on the part of
both teams to prevent runs now and then.
In the sixth Slagle sent safe one into CEN
ter and Frisbee sacrificed. Connaughton
was hit in the back by a swift inshoot.
williams hit to left for base, and Nicholl
threw promptly to the plate. but little Sla-
gle managed to slide in safe. Hansen hit
at home. Hickey's bad throw gave O'Hagan
life, but he was forced at second by Nc
Vicker's grounder TO Allen.
1t was Flynn who started the rally in the
seventh. He hit safe to right, and Pardee
followed by hitting Hickey in the head.
The latter was able to run the bases, how
ever, and when Foreman sacrificed the
rooters made merry at Pardees expense.
Hogriever's fly was just too high for Slagle,
and Flynn came home Hickey made the
mistake of turning back when he was half
way to third, thinking Slagle was going to
catch the ball. and this cost Indianapolis
run, for he held Hogriever on first, much to
the latters disgust Stewards single to
center scored Hickey, who hadn't much to
spare, but Hogriever was caught at home
trying to get in after Frisbee had caught
Kahoe's short fly. indianapolis could do
nothing with Pardee. but it wasn't neces-
sary. Foreman was so good after the sixth
that but two men reached first, and they
never looked dangerous Score:
