The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-05-28

While Worcester has been engaged
in creating an International reputation
for herself industrially and education
ally the arts of music and literature
have not been neglected, and many au-
thors and composers have arisen in
the city to lend dignity by their tall
ents to the community, and to give
pleasure to their fellow citizens
Looms and engines are not supposed
to produce a soil fruitful of poetry, but
that they do not prove deadly to The
muses. Is proved by the presence here
of more painters, poets, prose-writers
and composers than The Spy can even
stop to mention.
The level of technical accomplish
ment in every line Of achievement las
been so steadily rising that fame Of
even a modest degree is more difficult
of attainment than ever before. Where
so years years ago there was one per-
son who could write verse or SONGS
or paint pictures acoeptably to the
discriminating taste of his contempo-
raries now there are a hundred. The
advancement in popular education, the
social trend, and the wave of aesthetic
culture, combined with the influence Of
foreign standards and foreign travel.
have been followed by q marked de-
Yelopment along artistic lines. Where
respectable achievement is a common
place, the practical difficulties in the
way of gaining hearing and Of max
Ing a reputation are intensified. If rec-
ognition has come to Worcester's au-
thors and composers, not only in TIE
way of dollars and cents, but in the
honest praise of some of the most fas-
tidious critics of the day, it should Re
a matter of oongratulation to the city
in which they dwell, not less than to
the individual themselves.

New Test for Coal.

4 French experimenter suggests that the X-ray furnishes 8 ready means to detect stony impurities in coal. Carbon is very transparent to the Roentgen rays, while silica is opaque to them. Consequently the silicates, which form slag when coal is burned. can be aeen like a skeleton when the shadow of the coal is projected upon the fuores- cent screen.

A Sensible Fad,

In Holland it is still the fashion for ladies to wash the dainty china and silver after tea or breakfast in the presence of the family and guests. The same fashion has recently been revived as fad among American ladies, and it is not only appreciated as giving an air of domestieity to the meal but also for the practical reason that lady's gentle handling is needed if pretty glass and ckina are to be preserved for any length of time. Had our grand- mothers entrusted the washing of their tea services to the care of their ser wants, heirlooms of beautiful old china would be rarer among us than they ara now.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.


 The large personal estate, some $i,- 875.000 left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes it interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armftage left over S1,- 000,000 but the bulk of this was cer~ tainIy not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of CamberweH amassed over S500,000, but he owned one. if not two, lucrative private lnnatie asylums.
 The next largest personality to Sir w. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull He died in 1890, leaving S1,720.- 110 behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, large proportion of which for a long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there Is a large falling off in the amount, $I.034, ,465. Sir An drew sank a good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735,00 and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich- ard Quain's. about $5S5.00
 Sir William Bowman, the oeulist, Sir Prescott Hewett. Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but ali were well under the $500,000 mark. There has been speeul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned5 $15,000 or $20,000 a year is d big income for 8 professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $t,000 a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $I,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro- fessi0n, without a doubt

Lycee were orderly, despite the large
crowd. There were no demonstrations.
