Dr.. PhYsic and the Reporter.

again this morning, and hailed him
twice before he would look around,
We thought he was mad, but the
doctor conjured up a smile and
asked us about our health, and then
branch off about the fighting in the
Transvaal. After he had told us
half dozen times why he believed the
Beers would whip the British, we
got a chance to change the subject,
and asked HIM how his "Bullosa"
patient was getting along? The
doctor fingered the ashes from his
cigar, took out his handkerchief
and wiped his eyes, and said: "The
woman died, but it was no fault of
the treatment or the diagnosis, or
the diet. You see these negroes
are so imprudent that you cannot
do anything with them, and this
woman patient of mine, l learn, got
up and dressed herself and went to
one of those Swampoodle cake
walks, and caught cold, returned
home and died, before ] could be
called for a second visit. If you say
anything about the case you can
say it was not the ''Bullosa" that
she died of, but something else, and
also remember | was not treating
the case of cold, but "Bullosa,"
Here the docted pulled out his
watch and said he must be going,
as he had several other "Bullosa'
patients to look after.

Freedom of the Jews His Price for Curing the Emperor
 of Russia

New York, December 17.-A special cable to the Journal from St. Petersburg says:
 Yesterday the Official Messenger con- tained the announcement that the Czar, profoundly moved by the sympathy and anxiety displayed among all classes of his subjects during his illness, commanded that his heartfelt gratitude be made known throughout the empire.
 To-day it is asserted that the Emperor has decided to signalize his recovery by repeating many of the most oppressive laws and decrees against the Jews, of whom there are more than 5000 900 in this country. Both the Empress and himself ascribe his preservation from death to the cleverness and care of his principal physl- elan, Dr. Hirsh, who is not only member of the Hebrew race, but likewise a pro- fessing Jew.
 ''The Czarina, in expressing her pro- found sense of obligation to the doctor, who first joined the imperial household before the death of Alexander Ill., and who has remained with the present Czar and CZarina ever since, sounded him as to what form he would wish the imperial recognition of his inestimable services to take. Dr. Hirsch, with all that love for his race which distinguished Mordeca1 or oId realizing the opportunity within his grasp of conferring an inestimable benefit upon his co-religionists, intimated to the young Empress that he asked for nothing but the repeal of certain of the most op- pressve measures against the Jews
 He added that not only would he pre- Ter this to any personal distinction or honor in the power of the Crown to be- stow, but that it would constitute in the eyes of the world thank offering on the parl of their Majesties for the divine mer cies accorded to them in the marvellous recovery of the Czar. Not only was the young Empress much moved by the re- marks of her trusted physician, but she realized that the grant of this request would tend to the fame of her husband as an enlightened, humane and liberal mind ed sovereign, besides contributing in no small measure to the economic improve ment of the empire.
 '"The Emperor is reported to have ac- ceded readily to her views, and it is under stood that ere many days an imperial ukase will be issued placing the Hebrew subjects of the Czar on the same civic and political level of their orthodox fellow citizens

MANUFACTURERS
Have Not Shared in General Prosperi
 ty of Country.

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 17.-The Industrial Commission began a special session at the Manufacturers Club here today, and rep resentatives of all the important industries in Pennsylvania have been invited to ap- pear. It is expected that much informa- ton of economic and industrial value will be colected during the meeting.
 The commissioners present at the opening session were Albert Clarke of Boston, chair man; Charles H. Litchman of Newark, N. J.; D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C.; John M. Farquhar of Buffalo. Others are expected to be present before the commits sion concludes its sittings.
 The first witness was J. G. Gray, secre- tary of the Manufacturers Club, and head of the firm of Queen & Co.,, manufacturers of optical goods. He said that every in- dustry in Philadelphia is represented in the Manufacturers Club, and many industries also represented.
 MT Gray said that during the past four years business had increased He asserted that in spite of the prosperity of the coun- try the manufacturers had not participa ted in it to any extent He gave as a reason for this the increased price of raw ma terial, which he said prevented propor- tionate increase of business. Raw ma- terial costs more and wages are higher, he said, but the manufacturers are unable to secure relatively higher prices for the finished article.

THE KENTUCKY
 LEAVES SMYRNA Big BattIeship Sails for Manila. Status of Claim Against
 Turkey

{ Washington December 17-Captain Ches- ter cabled the Navy Department today from Smyrna notice of the departure of the Kentucky for Port Said on the way to Ma nila.
 It is apprehended at the State Depart ment that the intention of Great Britain to press at this moment settlement of the claims of her citizens against Turkey will have a disastrous effect upon our negotia- tions in regard to the American mission- aries.
 The State Department never has been of- ficially informed that the Turkish govern ment has arranged to pay our claims, al though the British action is said to be pfedicated upon a belief that our claims had been settled. The greatest obstacle that the State Department has encoun- tered in the effort to collect our own claims was the vast accumulation of European claims against Turkey, leading the govern ment of the latter country to plead that it could not pay our claims without pay ing the others which would be utterly im- possible. The British claims are said to be many times larger than our own, and if they are to be pressed now before our own claims are collected it Is feared the Turk ish government will use the fact as basis for declining to pay at present.

HEROlSM REWARDED.
Cross of Legion of Honor Conferred
 Upon Madam Berosthorn.

New York, December 17.-A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Paris says:
 "The Cross of Legion of Honor has been conferred upon Madam Berosthorn, wife of the Austrian charge daffaires at Pekin, for her heroic conduct and assistance to the French during the siege of the lega- tion. Only one other foreign woman has thus been decorated. She Is Marie Schel- leneck, a Belgian woman, who disguised her sex and joined Napoleons army as a private soldier and became corporal, a sergeant and then a lieutenant. She served seventeen years went through the twelve campaigns and was eight times wounded. Napoleon decorated her personally in 1SO8.
 This Napoleonic affair is recalled in the decoration of Madame Berosthorn, who, with her husband, is rewarded for their personal bravery in defending the French legation after Minister Pichon had gone to the British Legation"

Report of Work Being Done Among
 the Negroes.

New York, December 1.-The American Missionary Association has received a re- port concerning special work among col ored young men, based on investiga tions by Secretary J. E. Mooreland of Washing ton. There are two main lines of work. The work among students and that among young men in cities.
 Strong emphasis is placed upon Bible study and personal work among the stu dents. There are sixty-one associations in the schools and forty or fifty more schools should be organized. The first substantial effort made among the colored young men in city work was at Norfolk, Va, in 1888. This work is more difficult than the stu dent work. In most of the Southern cities there Is no respectable place outside of home and church for a colored yodng man to profitaby spend his evenings.
 There is a secretary giving his entire time at each of the following places New Haven, Conn.,, Baltimore, Norfolk, Va, Richmond, Va, Louisville, Ky, and Springfield, O. The associations own or are in possession of property aggregating $50 900 in value.
 This movement is one of the departments of the Young Mems Christian Associa ton. is ter-denominational and is believed to be especially fitted to do great good among colored people.
