The best information Obtainable to-
night is that the funeral Will be held
Saturday afternoon. A serious aspect
presents itself with regard to the max
ing of the graves. Superintendent Wei

men as possible to assist in the work,

in. Thirty graves have been dug, and
one man can dig but one a day, and

ETHICS OF A MEDICO.
A Physician Chats of Medicine as
Business.
Washington Star)


/ AS a rule" said a physician, ''ths
/ members Of my profession are conscien-
/ tious men, who desire and strive to bring
about the ultimate recovery OF their pa
tients.
Il say ultimate because there are a
! few, who are not so anxious to accom-
pllsh an Immediate restoration as they
might. This nursing q case to secure
calls and consequent fees is frequent
enough to have q recognized standing and
practice in the profession. though we are
not given TO discussing 1t in public nor
with our patients.
1T must be borne in mind that physi-
clans are human beings, who have an
ambition, not only to become prominent
| in their chosen calling, but possessed Of
an abundance of this worlds Injuries
They adopted the medical profession be-
cause of a special aptitude or because il
affords a career, usually a good one, and
one IN which independence and high pO-
SltIOn in the community may be obtained
Charity and cOmmlSeratiOn toward his
teliOW-men played no part IN the medical
students COntemplatiOns of the future
The die was cast purely as a business
venture, and as a business venture IL is
maintained.
Let US see. The young physician finds
himself short on patients and bank ac-
count and long on hopes and ambitions
patient, then, to him is, from the very
start, a source, the only source of his
income. The more patients he has the
more calls he receives, and more money
deposited in the bank follows as a neces-
sary cOrOilary.
why should he not, therefore, make
all the calls he cam He does Thus
1t becomes a habit formed early in his
professional career, and it is hard they
say, to teach an old dog new tricks
.'On the other hand, the patient is ill.,
He has not the technical knowledge of his
medical adviser, and he throws himself
so to speak upon the latteT's merciful
protection If he feels that his physician
Is making unnecessary calls a sense of
the prophecies of this relationship pre-
vents him from giving expression to his
feelings, even If he were 50 inclined.
Again, some physician-and to the credit
of the profession. am happy to say, they
are in the large minOrity-dO not prescribe
at once such remedies as they know win
act quickly. In other words. they do not
wish their patients to get well too soon.
Women, rather than men, are more easily
imposed upon in this respect Some wO-
men patterns appear to like TO be nursed
along a slow recovery.
As a smile, a physician practice is
much like a game of whist in PLAYING
trumps. If you play your highest trump
remedy and get your patient out at once
you win the trick and you lose him as
an immediate patient. though he NAV
stay with you for future consultations
If you play your lowest trump, or sloWest
remedy. you lose the trick by dallying
with him too long. for he viii dispense
with your services and call in another
doctor.
Physicians do many kind and bene6-
cent acts. more than the public fully
knows but in this chat I am a bear on
my own market, YOU know.

the inevitable financial reckoning

visions for close to 200 families of be

1t would seem advisable for the cfti-
zens' committee of Salt Lake to ap-
point two or three capable men to come
down and organize the work Of relief
at once. The men here who might han
die such matters haze been overworked

is plenty Of flour, but the stricken wo-

Two Hundred and Fifteen Bodies.
There are laying stark and cold in
death in the charnaI houses of this lit
tie camp 215 victims of the explosion.
Some have been taken away to homes.
and others are scattered about in the
school house, the Mormon meeting
house and the two places where they
are being cleaned. at Edwards board
ing house and at the barn on the hill at
the entrance to No. T.
The company officials seem to en-
deavor to cut down this number to
minimize the horror Of this explosion.
Assistant Superintendent Williams said
repeatedly yesterday that he could not
tell how many victims there were, and
no information could be had at the
company office. which indicated more
than 100 victims. But there are more
than that number, as have been seen at
the places where they were received,
though many are yet unidentified.
Mr.. Williams said yesterday that he
did not think that more than a dozen
other bodies would be found in the
mine 1t was figured out by others
about the company office that four men
remained in tunnel No. I, in the Ferris
level, and it was said that five We're in
No. 1, scattered about over quite a
large area, and that these are buried
SO that recovery will be difficult
In Tunnel No. 4.
However, these figures seem to be
under the mark, for ninety men are be
lieved to have gone into tunnel No. 4
on the morning of the explosion, and
but seventy eight Of these have been
accounted for. Ninety men had gone in
on the day before, and there does not
seem any reason to doubt that this
number went in on May 1. Company
officials have said that it was custom
airy for men to lay off on the LIST of
the month. A score Of miners have de-
MED this. How many went in and es-
capped from No. 1 can not be. learned.
There are several cross entries, or por
tions of them, which have not been ex-
amined.
There were thirteen bruised and
burned victims brought Out Of No /
last night at y o'clock They had been
carried around from tunnel No. 4, which
was blocked that rescue parties found
it too difficult to come out. These men
were burned and disfigured. They had
been caught in the flames of the dust
and the violence of the conclusion,
But during today there were more
than a dozen bodies. fearfully mangled,

bris had been cleared away; still the
