Lawyer Chapman. OF Los Angeles
was once associated with Senator
Stephen NJ. White in a certain case.
Chapman loved good dinner, and one
day, Just before the big case was to
come up in court, ate more than he
ought. The next day he was sick, and
White took a doctor around to see him.
Chapman was groanlng with pain, and
the doctor was puzzled. At last the
doctor noticed {. red spot on Chspman's

referred to the war that is being waged
blythe reputable physicians Of the state
against the vlolators of the state medi-

case at Parkersburg of an indictment
against Christian Scientist and osteo-

friend refers to the action Of a commit

last meeting Of the State Medical So
cIety, to prosecute all persons violating
or attempting to violate the medical
laws OF the state. Our correspondent
reports that the physicians Of the state
have been unjustly accused concerning
this and similar steps. whereas they
have never made any direct fight
against any system OF medicine, their
desire only being to prosecute all who
violate the medical laws irrespective Of
the school they practice.
The Indictment brought at Parkers-
burg is Intended to be test case, and
should It be lost steps will be made to
have the legislature amend the law.

for the result, and legislators and those

September Fire Los.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
has a summary OF the IRE losses for the
past nine months, that for September
being 3l2,77s.sOO. The total losses for
the hrst nine months of 1897. 1898. and
1889, are noted as follows: From Janu-
airy to September, inclusive, in 1897, the
losses footed up to SSo,4lS,7OO; for the
same period in 1895 the losses were $ss.-
$4,000; for the same period in 1889 they
were S9S.sOS,650. It may be noted that
tbs 1893 losses so far exceed those Of
the same months Of 1898 by over S1o.-
100000, and those OF the frat nine
months of 1897 by over s19OOOOOO.
During the month of September there
were l79 fires. of a greater destructive
ness than $4,000 each. The Journal of
Commerce publishes a detailed list Of
these fires on Its insurance page, and
they may be classified as follows;

The principal fires during September
consisted Of manufacturing concerns
and business houses in various parts
of the country. the losses ranging from
100000 to 100000. The Journal of
Commerce. in commenting on these
statistics, remarks:
These statistics confirm tho opinions re-
iterated In these columns earlier In the
year that the Ere insurance business IN the
United States Is on an unhealthy and un.
profitable basis, and that the year 1883 VIII

field. Rates have rapidly fallen; hres

These are very interesting and IN

at a point where consultation look

quoted in an editorial a mIserably illog-

correspondent says the information
