MEDICTyn NOT REMUNERATlvR.
Few Pracflcing Physicians Aequir>
Great Wealth.

The largest fortune left by Sir William
Jenner has. led to much writing in the lay
press, but owing to imperfect Information
as to the source Of some OF Sir William
Jenner's wealth. much excellent morAlix-
Ing has been made upon unsound deduc-
tions. Sir William Jenner was for many
years at the top OF the medical profession,
having risen there by his genius and hav-
ing been maintained there by scientific
reclamation every whit as much as by
popular favor. During these years he
undoubtedly made a very large income,
but not an income that would have en-
abled him to save such sum as E376.00o.
and, as a matter Of fact, certain portion
of his fortune was derived from trade and
bequeathed to him by a brother. But un-
doubleday Sir William Jenner earned
great sum OF money by the practice Of his
profession, and the fact may iegitimately
act as a stimulus to young medical men
to observe keenly and work hard.
That a few medical men have made
large fortunes Is well known. For In
stance. Sir Andrew Clark left 42oa. $40. Sir
Oscar Clayton left 9146.7l6. DR.. Rhodes
Armitage left E2l7. 40. DR.. L. T. Cumber-
batch left E107 90 6ir Richard Quain left
2lls.S20. Henry Horsfall left E105. 80. DIR.
G. d. Longstan left 100000. DR.. Henry
Danson left E11S.2s and DR.. J. III. Paul

are thrown into the shade by the estate
OF Sir William Gull. whose personality
was valued at E3A.01. Sir William Gull.
like Sir william Jenner, made an enor-
NOUS professional income though FORUM
ate investments, perhaps. played the part
In swelling the total Of his fortune that
family requests played In the case Of Sir
William Jenner. The above names have
been taken from the lists compiled by the
Daily Telegraph and the Westminster Ga
zette and cover a period extending over
the last ten years.
On the strength OF them the medical
profession cannot be said to abound in
pecuniary prizes. Only eleven persons.
whether shining In the front rank Of the
medical profession or engaged In one OF
its VIGOROUSLY lucrative branches or
blessed by accident with pecuniary ad-
vantages, have died during ten years in
possession Of more than El0O000. while 4
first-class brewers fortune would be ex.
pected to amount to more than the az
gregate total Of the eleven medical for
tunes or the brewer would be accounted
a comparative failure. We are not set
ting up wall that medical men do not
make more money, but the fortune Of Sir
William Jenner or Sir William Gull ought
not to lead the public to mistake the facts
as to the average earnings or the medical
profession. The profession In Great Brit
ain numbers some 600 persons and. al

The Rev. Shirley Bakers Experience
IN Tonga.

Al 1OW8os
Tonga, the latest island domain TO be
snapped UP by the warships. was an In
teresting place few years ago, when
that comic opera premier. the Rev. Shirley
Baker. ran 1t. It was in 1877 that the Wes-
ieyan Missionary Society converted the
Tbngans.
The late King George l., who died at the
age Of IS in 1899. was all his life zealous
Christian, and frequently preached in the
chapels. In fact. he was probably the
only active Wesleyan king In the world.
He was . great admirer OF Great Britain.
He wished to a5dicate the throne in favor
Of Britain under the rule Of the power he
SO much admired. Lord Palmerston de-
clined with thanks. In 1879 and 1892 trea-
ties OF friendship were concluded between
the two government. and Great Britain
accorded limited Jurisdiction over Brit
tsh subjects TO the TonGan courts.
But George LIS generous admiration for
our virtues led him to become the easy
prey OF the Rev. Shirley Baker, who. re-
pudiating the Wesleyan Missionary So
Getty. which sent him out, became King
Georges premier, his minister of foreign
Affairs, his auditor general his president
OF the court Of appeal. his minister Of
lands, his Judge OF the land court. his min
lister OF education, his agent general and
his medical attendant
An absurd set OF laws worried the good
natured Tongans on every side, and "fiirt-
ing became the chief offense. At last
the proceedings OF Shirley Baker-called
In Australia the Burly Baker-became SO
outrageous that In June, 1890, Sir John
Thurston. her majesty's high commission
er, removed him from office. 1t was time

boots and shoes 62 as SD.
The revenue was mortgaged to a Ger
nan trader at Sydney and there was chaos
everywhere. The recent proceeding OF her
majesty's ship Tauranga Is probably due
to the strategic necessities of Fill II
