There is pending In the General
Assembly bill relative To the practice
uf medicine I'm Rhode Island which, IL
it has been correctly reported, is a
serious menace to the privilege enjoyed
OF the state. For some years there has
been a movement looking toward keep
ing from practice travelling so-called
physicians, most OF whom understand
little about medicine. And this is right,
and within its proper limits II IL desira-
Die.
But now comes bill which forbids
all nonresident physicians to practice
within Rhode Island except in consulta-
tom Should that become the law q
physician residing in stonington could
not practice in Westerly. and 1t is a
well known fact that today Stonington
and Mystic physicians have numerous
patients in this town. A law that
would prevent such practice would be
against the best interests OF the COM
munity.
There Is no doubt that the fake
physician should be debarred, but the
regularly qualified physician should be
allowed free access 10 the state"
This is all true. but all the truth is
not in II. Non resident physicians can
not come into Rhode Island even for
consultation. without danger of arrest.

Transatlantic Travellers Furnished Spe
cial Attendants by the Pennsylvania
System

The bureau of attendants for trans
Atlantic travellers established in Jer-
sey City and New York City twentys
two years ago by the Pennsylvania
System, has proven a great conven-
ience to persons making European
trips and to tourists arriving in Amer
fca at that port. 1t will be particular
ly convenient for visitors to the Paris
Exposition because the departure
docks of most of the Atlantic Steam
ship Lines are convenient to the Jer-
sey City Passenger Station of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
This bureau consists of experienced
agents whose duties are to meet pass
engers arriving in Jersey City and
New York over the Pennsylvania
Lines and assist them in arranging for
transatlantic trips via any of the
steamship lines by conducting them to
the steamships and in aiding In prep
arations for trip abroad.
These agents will provide cabs oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania System and
aid passengers with their baggage.
They are fully posted on matter per-
tanning to steamships leaving New
York, and arrangements can be made
Through them for procuring steamship
tickets In advance.
They also meet incoming steam
ships to aid travellers in shaping de-
tails for continuing journeys from
| New York over the Pennsylvania
Lines by furnishing tickets, arranging
for the transfer of baggage from
steamship docks after it has been
passed by customs lnspectors,a and hav-
ing the same checked through to des-
tinatlon. They will reserve sleeping
car accommodations and relieve per
sons of the foregoing details, making
themselves useful as attendants and
guides free cf charge.

the union rate of-pay for drawbridge
tenders at $1,000 per year, which
would be pretty good one for a
country clergyman or lawyer in many
parts of the United States. BY this
act the prevailing rate of wages
for such work became in New York
$1,000 per year.
The only wonder il that, as tho
