EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some s1.- 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 Armitage left over $t,- 000,000, but the bulk of this was cer. tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of Camberwe} amassed over $500,000, but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally 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, a 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 eff in the amount, S1,034, ,465. Sir An drew sank good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about $735, 900, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich ard Quain's, about s585,0
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett. Sir George Paget and Sir Rtsdon Bennett left substantial for tunes. but all were we'll under the $500,o00 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15,000 or S20,000 year is a big income for professional man, but at one time Sir William Gulls professional fees most certainly averaged $109O a week. if not more, while Sir Andrew Clarks talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over Sl,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro tession, without doubt.

A Transaction in Desks.

A passion for old furniture general iy communicates itself to the co1lec- tors friends. Thus of young lawyer iu Worcester, who has good taste in antiques, the Gazette records that his enthusiasm has infected many persons sometimes with saddening results. It was no more than natural that when the lawyers friend, the professor, sold his desk, which was of ancient design but of doubtful age, and began looking for something better, he should con- suit the young lawyer The man of law was delightfully."- sympathetic. T saw just what you want the other day" he said, but Pm afraid it's gone now. I'll keep my eye out for the next few days" Well, if you see anything real ly good" said the professor, "buy it and hold it for me. It is not safe to let a bargain go too long, Only let me know as soon as you can, so that won't be buying one, too. It would be a great favor" Not at all," said the lawyer. "It's a pleasure to buy a good thing, even if you-are not to keep it yourself" In a day or two the pro- lessor received a joyful note. The young lawyers mother had found just what the professor wanted-a beauty, one of those rare old bits that they cannot counterfeit, and such bargain, only ten dollars. The professor was charmed. He immediately sent his check to the young lawyer, with an enthusiastic note of thanks and re- quest to send Up the desk. He was in the hall vixen 1t arrived He tore off the sacking and inspected his prize. It was his old desk that he had sold a few days before for eight dollars and half.

A Callieoon (Pa.) farmer bought a barrel to pack some beef in, and left it in the barnyard, one night recently. Next morning 1t was gone, to his great Fexation, as pork barrels are not plen- tiful in that neighborhood. There waa no one in the neighborhood whom the farmer suspected of stealing It, and the disappearance was a mystery that he tried to solve for long time in vain. The other day the secret came out. Passing along a scrub-oak ridge near brook he saw his missing barrel in a hollow He went to the barrel. and as he laid his hand on it there was a great rumbling inside and out popped a bear. which gave 8 startled look and shuf- fled away rapidly into the bush. There was no explanation of the presence Of tho barrel in that spot except on the theory that the bear had stolen it in the night and rolled it all the way to the ridge. where the barrel had lodged. for snug resting place for himself.

In slavery days. Susquehanna and Wayne counties had many stations of the underground railroad" for slaves escaping from the South to Canada. Among the slaves to escape was Tom Harris. who was owned by Col. Harris of Culpepper, Va. As soon as war was declared, Tom returned from Canada to Wayne county, where he has since lived, doing odd jobs on farms. When Tom came to Wayne county he was as black as the lace of spades, but for the last three years white spots have appeared upon his person. and today he Is more than two-thirds white. Each succeeding white spot is larger and whiter than the one preceding, and their coming is accompanied by in- tense pain and itching Toms hair, once twisted and "kinky," is gradual ly strengthening. and he expresses the belief that, before long, he will be "as white as any man in Wayne county. ,' Toms singular transformation is in teresting the scientists of the state.-- Susquehanna Cor.

ASKED FOR A GRAND JURY
COUNTY ATTORNEY HALvERSoN
WANTS INVESTIGATION.
He Is After the "Fistic Carnival"
People Especially-The Sheriff
Has Seen Nothing Wrong.

County Attorney George Halverson
created mild sensation in the district
court yesterday by asking Judge Ro-
lapp to empanel a grand jury to iHves-
tigate certain crimes which had been
committed in Weber county, and men
toned as an example the recent prize
fight in the Grand opera house.
Judge RolaDp declined to grant the
request, saying that it was the duty
of the sheriff TO file informations in
such cases, and that if he did not do
so, then he would authorize the en-
paneling of the grand jury.
County Attorney Halverson stated
that it was not his idea to confine this
request to the matter of the ''fistic car
nival." but that other crimes had been
committed which he desired to investi-
gate. He said that people were con-
tinually insinuating that they knew
something about plural marriages and
other crimes, and coupled their inSinua-
lions with remarks 10 the effect that
the county attorney was not doing his
duty, and he wanted the grand jury so
that the crimes could be investigated.
complaints he said, when the OartleS
making the charges would not 1wear
to them. He thought a grand jury
would be a good thing, anyway, so that
the body might look over and examine
public affairs generally
Sheriff Layne. speaking to a Herald
man about the application OF Judge Ro-
lapp's remarks, said: When l see any
thing to make complaint of l viii make
it. L have seen nothing Of the sort,
and hence have no complaint TO make. -
