DIR. WHITsoN'S RETIREMENT.
A Change in the Emergency Hospital
Medical STAFF.

DR.. William E. Whitson, resident ply
sician at the Emergency Hospital, will re-
tire Thursday, after lengthy and eff
cient service. His successor will probably
be DR.. Charles G. Smith, at present ju-
nior assistant to DR.. Whitson. 1t had been
expected that DR.. W. C. Williams, senior
assistant at the hospital, would be made
resident physician, but his resignation,
rendered last week, precludes that possi-
bility. DR.. Williams resigned to accept
the position of surgeon with the 1sthmian
Canal survey. He expects to leave Sun
day or Monday for Central America.
In the event that DR.. Smith is made
resident physician it is thought that DIR.
Ferdinand Walsh, who recently did sub
stitute duty at the hospital, will be made
senior assistant. A competitive examina-
tion for the position of junior assistant
will be held at the hospital In few days.
In the retirement of DR.. Whitson the
Emergency Hospital loses a valuable resi-
dent physician. He has been associated
with the institution for over year and
has made an enyiable record.

STANDARD OIL PROFITS.
The Enormous Dividends Annually
Declared by the Trust.

Standard Oil Company dividends have
varied between ) Ia per cent per annum
in 1882 and 3J per cent in 1897.
This is brought out in a statement made
by S. C. T. Dodd. solicitor of the Standard
Oil Company. in reply TO enquiries pre-
pared by Prof. jerks, trust expert of the
Industrial Commission.
Mr.. Dodd says the quarterly dividends
of the company aggregated ) IA per cent
in 1852; 6 per cent in 1888 and 1884, 10 1-2
per cent in 1885, 10 per cent in 1856 and
1887, IL 1-2 per cent in 1888, IL per cent
in 1889, 1890, and 1891, 1921 per cent in
1892, - per cent in 1893 and 1894, II per
cent in 1895. 81 per cent in 1896, 33 per
cent in 1897. and so per cent in 1898, and
that stock dividend Of 20 per cent was
made in May, 1887.
In reply to a general question as TO the
work of the organization and its effects,
Mr.. Dodd reviews the history of the Stand
ard combination, and summarizes the re-
suits accomplished by cheapening trans
portation by pipe lines and tank cars, by
purchasing terminal facilities, acquiring
steamers and other vessels. and by en-
ploying in foreign countries the same spe-
cial methods Of storing and transporting
oil in bulk, by which the markets of Eu-
rope are held for American oil against
Russian competition.
Mr. Dodd says the manufacture of oil
has been much cheapened and improved
by uniting the capital, skill, and acts, and
the processes and patents of several per-
sons, by building up improved manufacto-
ries on a more extensive and perfect scale
in the centres of trade and by improved
business methods generally. Mr.. Dodd
makes this statement in support of the
methods of the Standard Oil Company:
''They have obtained and utilized the
best scientific skill in investigating and
experimenting upon the obtaining of new
and useful products from petroleum, and
have cheapened Illuminating oil and 9TH
erwise benefited mankind by the utiiZa
ton of these bi-products.
''They have used their united capital
in opening up the markets of the world
for American petroleum, and have held
those markets against the fercest foreign
competition. This was rendered possible
only by the employment Of millions Of
capital in the cheaping of transportation
at home. across the ocean and in foreign
lands. and by the best and cheapest meth
ods of manufacture.
The proofs OF these propositions will

RECRUITING STILL BRISK.
Many Volunteers Offer Their Services
10 the Government

Despite the fact that the edge has been
taken off the adventurous spirit which
caused so many young men to offer their
services to the Government for the Phil
ippine campaigns, there has been no great
diminution in the number of applicants
for enlistment at the army recruiting sta
tions in this country.
Complete reports for the month of De-
cember received at the War Department
from recruiting officers show that nearly
1000 applicants appeared during that pc
riod. OF these only 1.551 were accepted
1,199 Of them at city recruiting stations
and the rest at military posts and in the
field. Only i3 colored applicants were ac-
cepted.
The overwhelming percentage of rejec-
tions shows the great care that is being
exercised in selecting men for the military
service. II is generally believed among
army officers that the United States Army
leads the armies of the world in efficiency
morality. and intelligence.

he could depend, mounted and took the

His horse was white, and as he rode
often with prey slupg to the saddle. the
animal was streaked and stained with
blood.
The man being in safe keeping, Mr.
King and his companion rode back to
camp leading the crimson streaked
horse. with all the deserter's belongings
strapped to his back. They spoke no
word of the missing man to his former
companions, but dismounted in grim
silence. The men endured the pangs Of
curiosity as long as they could. Then
they sent a committee to Mr.. King to-
make inquiries about the fugitive. Mr..
King gave a meaning glance at the1
