NEW YORK, Sept. 12-Justice David
McAdam of the Supreme Court, said: "A
physician, finding patient to be suffering,
may no doubt, legally relieve him from
pain. Indeed. ii is In the line of his calling
to do so, and when the patient is dying he
may give him an anesthetic to make his
death as easy as circumstances may permit;
but If the physician goes further and de-
liberately shortens the life he is a criminal.
The law never measures the amount OF
prospective life in human being nor does
1t scale nature of the punishment to meet
the period life has shortened
IF 1t did, taking the life of an elderly
person. even to prevent the cares. pains
and worries incident to old age might be
of younger person brought by disease to
bear the same cares. pains and worries
would be differently regarded. This will not
do. Taking life Is but Fastening the
time of death. and this province has never
been delegated to any human agency and
never will be. While our system of juris-
prudence continues ii will be unsafe if not
criminal for any physician, however skillful.
TO usurp the functions of court, jury and
executioner and decide that life's journey
must come to ali end and then end it,
1t will not do to permit one who has
taken life to mitigate his offense by proof
taken life it would have departed by natural
causes in a few months or days, and that
the taking off was therefore, an act of
charity rather than murder. These refine
ments may be proper for discussion-never
for practical conduct

JlMINEZ'S MANIFESTO.


SANTO DOMINGO, Sept 12.-Senor Juan
Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant to the presi-
dency of Santo Domingo, arrived here to-
day on board the Dominican warship Presi-
dente. His arrival was the cause of great
festivals and expressions of satisfaction. II
is not known as yet when the election will
take place. At present the country is quiet
The most difficult part to be settled is the
financial situation of the government, the
paper money being one of the principal
causes of the bad condition of affairs How
this will be fixed is difficult to foresee. Bus
mess is still very much depressed. Importa-
tons are very limited and the market Is
bare OF many articles, principally provi-
sions.
The manifesto of Senior Jimnez proposes
esty and equity. He calls for reform Of
the present tariff duties, advocates strict
gold basis and is in favor of the withdrawal
of the present circulating national coin and
paper money. He also recommends the ia
voring of immigration and full guarantees
TO citizens and foreigners and improvements
of roads, ports and public works.
News about the departure of Clyde line
steamer from New York is anxiously await
ed. provisions being scarce
The provisional President had already an
nounced that the provisional government
would take no constructive action until the
arrival Of General JimineZ. who Il appar-
emily expected to assume immediate direc-
ton of affairs.
The Importance of the money question
is seen from the fact that the paper cur
rency, the only currency in Santo Domingo.
circulates at some points In the ratio of
fifty To one, and as II Is understood that
Senior JimineZ intends TO repudiate a GER
tain part OF the issue IL Is not unlikely that
some trouble will arise. In any event an
official announcement showing precisely
what is to be done is anxiously awaited
by business men.

TO HONOR DlAZ.
People Of Mexico Will Celebrate Their
Presidents Birthday.

CITY OF MEXICO. Sept. 12.-Elaborate
preparations are being made for the cele-
bration of President Diaz's birthday on the
18th and the National Independence day on
the 10TH People are arriving from all parts
of the country TO take part I'm the national
fete, which will be on a scale OF unprece-
dented splendor. Magnificent arches are
being built on the principal streets by the
different States o: the republic. and there
will be profuse decorations professions
with allegorical cars. etc. The popularity OF
General Diaz Is shown by the spontaneous
nature of demonstrations i'm preparation In
honor OF his birthday. The country Is pros
porous, and there is work for every one.
hence the general good feeling.
Something of a sensation has been caused
by the new attitude OF the Catholic clergy
regarding civil marriage, which alone legal
ties marriages here. Formerly the clergy
refused to recognize civil marriage. but are
now urging women 10 be careful 10 secure
the civil ceremony, as many men, taking ad-
vantage OF the fact that the religious cere-
mony il not recognized In law. marry and
then desert their wives. IL IL believed this
new attitude OF the clergy Is another ore OF
the many convincing proofs that the Pope
cordially recognizes the republican form OF
government here as In France.
Arbor day has been celebrated I'm various
States, with planting OF trees as matter or
public ceremonial.

YELLOW FEVER CASES
FOUR REPORTED BY HEALTH Az
THORITIEs At NEW ORLEANS.
Only seven i'm All Since the Disease
Made Its Appearnnce-Numhe of
Victims at Key West Increasing.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 12.-Four new
cases of fever were announced by the
State Board of Health to-day, three Of
which have been under supervision for sew
eral days. No deaths were reported. AT
meeting of the board this morning II was
determined not to quarantine against in
fected points. There would be no reason for
such a course inasmuch as Mississippi has
pretty generally closed her doors against
this city and Texas and all are bent on
maintaining their guarantees. Vicksburg,
Natchez and more prominent towns of
western Mississippi are forcing the larger
Louisiana towns to quarantine against New
Orleans, although the Louisiana state
board has taken no action. Monroe was
warned to-day that unless she quarantined
against New Orleans Vicksburg would
quarantine her. This policy will be detri-
mental to business interests here, for there
are few towns in Louisiana which would
quarantine unless forced to do so. There
have been only seven cases of fever here al
together and the city was never in better
health.
