Terrific Conclusion of the Big Guns
Caused Serious Injuries.


Caused Serious Injuries.
New Orleans Times-Denocrat: "Since
the Santiago campaign" said DR.. Charles
Jam1son, an ear specialist of Philadel-
phda, who spent a couple of days in New
Orleans this week, II have been consulted
by no less than five naval officers who
were suffering from the effects Of the
terrific conclusion of the big guns on the
warships. To be- sure one sent another,
but the fact that SO many came to my
office alone shows how general the trouble
must have been. In no case did find any
actual lesion in the organs of hearing,
but all my patients exhibited symptoms
of great nervous shock. They had had
frightful shaking UP, to put the matter
roughly, and it will be months, perhaps
years. before they fully recover. Four of
the officers whom I treated had been in
the 'ehoods," as they are called, Of tur-
rets, while the largest gums were being
must be something awful When the
gun goes off, they tell me, the men in
the turret feel as If they had received
violent blow in the chest, and for a few
seconds it is impossible to breathe. Some
years ago was called in consultation. to
sec Capt. McGiffen, an American, who
had commanded the Chinese Ship the
Chen Yuen, in the battle at Lalu river.
During the engagement he had been
wounded while standing on the super
structure, and fell fainting right in front
of one Of the twelve-inch guns The piece
was discharged right over him, and
seemed to shatter and disorganize every
nerve center in his body. When saw
him he was a wreck, without any special
malady, and later on, while he was under
treatment at the Bellevue hospital, in
New York, he committed suicide. I was
not in the least surprised when I heard
the news. There is limit to the jolting
that the human mechanism will stand"

AR1srocRAoY's LowLY ORIGIN.

Crossing of the Garden Hoe md the
Miners Pick
Portland Oregonian: The Phtladelphia
Times makes reference, to the manner in
which the two families that were brought
into prominence through the Vanderbilt
Fair wedding in New York, a fortnight
ago, originated. The story Of Cornelius
Vanderbilt. the first, is a familiar one
and does not outdate the century. II ia
recalled that he commenced his career az
d STURDY young boatman; that later he ex-
nlb1ted his energy by becoming truck
grower on Staten island, and his sagacity
py marrying true helpmeet, who aided
MS fortunes by her industry and thrift.
This Cornelius was without education and
never had opportunity for culture, except
as ne acquired it in his business inter-
course with his fellows. Early and late
at formative period Of his fortunes he
was seen in his shirt sleeves, delvine in
his truck patch or driving his load to the
market-a veritable MAN with the Hoe.''
But 1t may be noted in passing that he
was cheerful laborer, to whom the hoe
was means to the end, and he did not
The sequel Of his dropping it when Oh.
portunity offered is we'll known.
AS to the fourde of the Fair house and
wealth, 1T Is recalled that some fifty years
ago an Irish miner found his way into
the then wilds Of California without
rainbow career of an adventurer in
search Of gold, and was finally employed
IN the Comstock nine Of what Is now
Nevada He welded his pick with en-
ergy, watching meanwhile for chance
to drop to his advantage. The opportun.
tty came, aid later he became one Of the
bonanza kings Of the Pacific slope, mar
ried anc settled in lie. Thus was found
ed the Fair family, q social dynasty
based as surely upon the miners pick az
was that Of Vanderbilt upon the garden
er's hoe.
There Is a lesson Of announcement in
th1s-so far as the requirement of great
wealth and distinguished social position
may be considered disirable to the poor
and the humble, and even to the unedu-
Gated, who have the energy and sagacity
to ply their lowly vocation as means
to an end. It is true that the same op-
portunities do not exist now as then; but
1t is also true that an era of wider and
widening opportunity is here charging
the scope of endeavor, bidding the man
who Is ambitious to enter broader arena
Of effort and encouraging one who finds
the measure of his ability in the lowlier
but not less honorable vocatioas, to re-
new his efforts in order to meet the in
creasing demands of a widening supply.

AWAY WITH THE OFFICE BOYS:
New York In Preparing to FIJI Thei1
P0adtiQua With Girla

Positions With Girls.
New York World: The office boy is
likely to lose his job. A large examina-
ton room of the municipal civil service
commissioners, at the top Of the criminal
court building, was given over to the
new girl Friday. Its hundred desks
were occupied by that number of girls,
between fourteen and eighteen years of
age undergoing an tnquisition as to their
fitness to be placed on the eligible list
from which office girls in the municipal
departments will be drawn. Exactly 1O2
girls were seated-two being placed at
the large desk on the examiners rostrum
The desks are separated, 50 that there
could not be any exchange Of condolences
or information. Work began at 10
o'clock and consisted of dictation A Sec
ton of the Declaration Of Independence
was rapidly read to the candidates. Slow
d1ctation, word by word, followed. Five
examples In arithmetic were then given
out, after which forty words were called
off to the competitors to be properly
spelled. letter covering one page of
foolscap was then asked for the candi-
date being expected to describe up to that
the progress Of the examination up to
that point. The percentages were scaled
as follows: Dictation, Is; arithmetic, 20:
handwriting, 30; spelling, Is, and let
ter, 20.
The examination was entirely written,
and some of the girls finished their tasks
by 1 o'clock; others remained until 4.
They were an ambitious lot and regarded
the post Of Office girl as a mere stepping
stone to a Junior clerkship, a. grade for
which they will be eligible after two
years service. That carries a salary of
$50. a month and leads through senior
clerkship to. the fifth grade, with COM
pensation at $4,000 a year.
Chief Examiner Ireland was delighted
with many of the papers The chiroera-
ply in most cases was excellent and re-
markedly similar among the public school
pupils. One specimen was like copper
plate engraving. AS a rule, the figures
were not well made, but the 'exam-
pies" were generally worked successfully.
