CharIotte's Sensitive Doctors.

From our exchanges we see that the Doc.
tors Of Charlotte, N. c., are exceedingly sen
sitive as TO the "ethics" and "politeness" o.
oountare making figures OF themselves In the
newspapers.
knowledge OF medicine seems to be 9
matter not to be thought OF by the Charlotte
Doctors where medical ethics" are concern.
cd, and we think the Charlotte Doctors have
acted very foolishly In the matter. AS far az
We are informed, we do not see wherein they
are essentially different from other gentle
men In the community. and If brother Doc
tor has made notable success in medicine OF
surgery, We see no reason for jealousy. In.
stead OF jealousy at brothers. superior skill
they should seek to emulate him by better
equipping themselves for the practice Of their
profession. IT they will aspire to rise to the
top, instead OF trying to pull down another
the result will be more satisfactory. Where
medicine, and not "ethics" is the study, the
gentlemen Of the medical profession will de.
serve better consideration from the public.
But we presume men in all the professions
are more or less sensitive. Editors may some
times be sensitive. and in that, they may not
be after all, so very different from the Doc.
tors. For instance: Not so long ago. this
editor received communication which con.

ner free OF expense to them. Although we
have not discovered plan by which we can
get type set, and get paper printed without
cost, yet this request was made without the
usual politeness Of q personal address. II
was simply type written, addressed to "Dear
Sir"-a sort of circular letter.
Like the Doctors, this editor was sensitive
because OF the lack Of the customary civility,
and We OF course did not take the money out
OF our pocket to set up the circular for the
senders who were deficient in "politeness."
Editors, like Doctors, are often too sensitive
as to "ethics." II more attention was given
to the editing Of our newspapers and to the
acquiring Of skill In the practice of medicine,
it is possible that neither editors nor doctors
would be 30 sensitive in matters where Meth.
or offence nor disrespect was intended. The
Charlotte Doctors seem to us TO be simply
trying to advertise themselves by ostenslbly
fighting advertising.

MET bob" TAYLOR.
Charles T. Tatman Shakes Hands With
the Governor Of Tennessee.

Chairman Charles T. Tatman of the
republican city committee returned yes
terday afternoon from a trip to Nash
vile. Tenn. Mr.. Tatman went there
to attend the biennial meeting of the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon. At the last meet
ing IN st. Louis in 1885, Mr.. Tatman
was appointed a committee Of one to
revise the ritual Of the order.
The Nashville convention lasted three
days-Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of lar week, and was attended by
about 1875 representatives Of s. chapters
of the order, coming from all parts of
the United States. The meetings were
held in the senate chamber of the state
capitol. and while there Mr.. Tatman
had the pleasure of being the guest Of
Gov. Bob" Taylor, who is known far
and wide for his musical and political
eccentricities.
On Wednesday Mr.. Tatman presided
at both the morning and evening ses-
sions of the convention. His report,
which called for an entire revision of
the old ritual, was accepted. The rea-
son for the oyerhauling of the ritual is
that the old one was not adequate for
the present character of the fraternity.
The new ritual, although broader in it's
scope, retains all the underlying princi-
pies of the old one.
Mr.. Tatman found the temperature in
Tennessee somewhat colder than is US
ually the case at this season Of the
year. The temperature was low, and
in some of the sections passed through.
snow was to be seen.

THE WELLESLEY CLUB.

The holiday festivities among the COL
lege women of the city were brought to
a close yesterday afternoon by the an
nual Christmas tea of the Wellesley
Club, which was held at the house of
Miss Eleanor Whiting, and was largely
attended. The College sClub and the
officers of the Smith, Mt. Holyoke and
Woman's Club were the invited guests
of the club, and most of the Worcester
girls now at Wellesley were present.
Wellesley College has from the first
shown an active interest in the college
settlement movement, and it was there
fore most appropriate that the enter
tainment yesterday should consist of
a talk on the work of the college settle
ment by Miss Florence Converse, an
almuna, who is one of the residents at
Dennison house, on Tyler street, Bos-
ton. Miss Converse described in a
charming manner the way in which
the settlement has grown from small
beginnings in one house to large in
stitution, which has spread into several
houses, and includes classes and clubs
for a large number of different groups
of people In the college extension
work, at the head of which is Miss
Vida D. Seudder, college methods are
employed as far as possible, and a graf
flying interest is shown by the young
men and women students in poetry and
similar aesthetic branches. One of the
most flourishing departments is a
dramatic club Of young fellows.
This club gives plays in a quite cred
table manner, and is now working for
reading room, for which 1t has itself
raised amounts varying from $50 to
5000. There are a number of cooking
and embroidery classes. A loan libra
ry of pictures has proved a popular
messenger of beauty. Miss Converse
characterized the work as both health
full and happy, and said that the res
idents of the settlement received quite
as much as they gave.
The talk was followed by a social, at
which those present had the pleasure
of meeting Miss Converse. Mrs. A. b
Kimball, the president, and Miss Whit
ing also received. The assistants, all
of whom are members Of the Worces-
ter Wellesley Club, were Mrs. e. D
Thayer. Jr., Mrs. Walter Richmond
Miss Alice E. Denny, Miss Marie A. Es-
tabrook, Mrs. r. X. Sheppard, Miss

ard, Miss Annie May Henderson, Miss

The very best and most nourishing
foods must be taken, as weakness OF
constitution or health is one of the first
causes OF round shoulders. You should
take a. strong iron and quinin9 tonic,
| and if it is cold weather when you be-
gin the cure, take cod-lfver oil as well.
If this is apt to disagree, take cream
instead. You must keep regular hours
as to meals and sleep and have plenty
Of outdoor exercise, only without I'M
due exertion Walking Is about the best
| exercise to take, though riding and BIZ
| cycling may be INDUCED in when you
are getting better.
| You must be careful to sleep on a
| hard mattress; never On feather bed !;
and you must also take care that your
| pillows are not raised too much. as this
is apt to throw the head forward and
| add to the rounded shoulders, instead
of making them any better. You must
| be very careful always to walk very
| straight and never lounge along the
| the road. The way to do this is to hold
| the shoulders well back, the chin well
| in the air, to look straight forward on
a level with your eyes, and never
droop the head and 30 through life
looking for possible pins on the ground.
| On no account must you stoop over
| your work or reading, as this is very
bad indeed. If you are sewing you must
| sit in very low chair, and one that
has straight back to lean against. If
by any chance you have to sit on high
that you have a footstool. In writing
you should either sit at table which
| is the proper height, or you should al
ways use sloped desk; and in reading
! never hold the book on your knee, but
| hold it up and lean back or sit upright
while reading.
| You should very often hold your
| hands behind your back and walk this
way up and down q room or out of
doors for ten minutes at time, when
! you have nothing better to do. You
must also lie fiat on a blackboard or
the floor for several hours u day. You
should also practice walking up and

on your head. This will make you hold
your head very upright, and help TO
cure the ugliness of your round shout

contemplate the removal of his resi-
dence from Worcester to some place
Where the grade crossing problem has
been solved or where it can be solved
at less expense.
In my opinion, there is no need for
worcester to face such an expensive
arrangement for the abolition of the
grade crossings here. The railroad
tracks can be raised at reasonable
expense high enough to allow the
streets to pass under them without
changing their grades very much; in
such case there would be no conse-
quential damages for anybody to pay,
ana 1he arrangement would be the best
possible plan for Worcester all things
considered, and in this case the cheap
est plan would be the best plan. The
ned OF the railroad tracks should be
raised between stone entertainments
where necessary, with beautiful stone
afches over the principal streets. In
TINS way neither the beauty nor the
utility Of any street would be injured.
FACTORIES along the roads could be
reached by side tracks running down
10 them, or they could be arranged so
mat freight could be taken in or sent
out from their second stories.
Inc commission saw specimens of
TINS KIND of work in Brockton, and on
rtie New YORK Central and Hudson
Rlver Railroad in New York city, and
also IN Philadelphia. l don't know how
II impressed my associates on the com
mission, for most of them were very
eareful to conceal their opseion, if they
had any on the subject, but this way of
1ponshlng grade crossings impressed
me as the best way to do it irrespective
or the expense.
Ihls plan would also make the best
arrangement at the union station. The
commission was informed by our CITY
engineer, and also by the railroad engi-
neerS, that the roof of the station
could be raised 10 or Is feet, if neces-
sary, without great or disproportionate
expense. The lower floor of the sta
tlon could be used for baggage, pas
senger and carriage rooms, so far as
necessary, and the second story for
trains, off1ces and waiting rooms. Some
or the finest stations in Philadelphia
ana in other cities in different parts of
the country, are arranged in this way.
ms plan has so many advantages and
SO few disadvantages, as compared with
any other plan that has yet been sug-
gested for Worcester, that it ought to
be speedily adopted as the Worcester
plan, and brought before the legisla-
ture for Equalization, if the railroad of
ficials will not accept it as the best SO
luton OF the vexed question"

TO DETERMINE HIS RIGHTS.

The case of James w. Barter VS..
Leonard w. Brewer was taken up in
the superior civil court yesterday. The
plaintiff in the case is a retired min
lister of the Methodist Church in Boil
ton, and the case has to do with the
ownership of horse shed built near
the church. The defendant is a MEM
Der OF the board of trustees of the
church.
A number Of sheds were built in 1891
for the convenience of the people who
attended the church, and Mr.. Barter
was invited to buy one, which he did,
and paid for it $27bO
Permission was given by him to an
other party to store 81 cart and sleigh
In the shed, he thinking that he had
bought 1t for all time and had a right
To dispose of it as he wished In or
der to better protect what he consid-
cred to be his property, the plaintiff
placed chain across the opening of the
shed and secured it at one end with a
paddock.
The officials of the church objected to
the use which was being made of the
shed, and had ordered the cart re-
moved. The chain and lock put UP by
the plaintiff were removed several
times, and each time restored by the
plaintiff.
Keeping watch one night however.
he claims to have seen the defendant
! and another remove the chain and lock
and fasten the chain to the floor by
means of several large staples No at
tempt was made to replace it this time,
but suit was brought by the plaintiff
to find out what his rights are in the
| case.
No damages are alleged, ana the ac-
ton was brought simply to determine
whether Mr.. Barter, after leaving the
church, could still own and control the
| shed. c. G.. Bancroft for the plaintiff.
and Jonathan Smith FOR the defendant.
The case was given to the jury about
4.3O, and the court adjourned till this
| morning.
In the case of the Houghton & Bux-
ton Manufacturing Company against
Edwin S. Hunt, the Jury found for the
plaintiff, assessing damages in the sum
| OF Sl6S. The case was to recover on
contract. Henry f. Harris for the
plaintiff; B. Phillips for the defendant.
The last case of the day was that of
David Silsbey Of Fitchburg against the
Massachusetts Mutual Accident Assoc
citation, being an action of contract to
recover for alleged injuries received. the
suit being to recover under the condi-
tons OF an accident insurance policy.
The case was opened and will be com
pleted today. Topper & Lane for the
| plaintiff; Arthur r. Dennison for the
defendant.
