A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
For TnvaIids TO Get Cured Free of Charge
by Calling on the British Doctors
at No. 1909 Second AVenue
Before Sept. 4.

A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in.
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and Sept. /. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
iicted, and, under NO condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months tC
all who call before Sept. 4,
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee Il
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incura BILE, you
are frankly and kindly told SO; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
DR.. E. Valentine Heaton, the chief
consulting surgeon of the institute,
is in personal charge
Office hours from 9 a. m. till D.
m. Not open Sundays.

LITERARY NOTES.

| The leading article in the Engineer
| ing Magazine is by Hon. John Barrett
who writes ably of the crisis in China
and its meaning for an engineering
constituency. Identity of interest
Throughout the industrial nations
should cause unity of action-at the
| very least Great Britain and the United
States should stand firmly for main
tanning the integrity and autonomy
of China. Commercial, political and
moral reasons demand it. Further,
| the white mans burden is already
| heavy enough; China should be led 10
raise up her own administrators, un-
der western tutelage and guidance. .
Mr.. Barrett ends with a wonderful
picture of the trade opportunities in
| Cathay. Two finely illustrated arti-
cles follow, one by Thomas Tonge,
dealing with the fourth Cor econCmi-
CALI era OF Leadville mining; the
! other, by Fred w. Maynard, set
! ting forth the construction and per-
Torrance of British heavy motor We
hicles. A third interestingly illus
trated paper, by Charles Rous-Mar-
| ten, treats of the locomotive exhibit
at the Paris exposition and tendencies
in practice it displays, and a fourth
review. accompanied by manv fine en-
cravings. is that by Sydney +. Walk
er. describing electric mining ma
chinery in the British coal mines.
Prof. Ripper's paper on the continu-
Gus recording of steam engines is also
illustrated. Prof. Diemer considers
the commercial organization of the
oh oh NJ
practical and useful discussion of the
governing of water powers. The ed
itorials and the Review of the Engi-
neering Press are particularly timely.
The number concludes with the usual
comprehensive index of engineering
literature.

can Boss-his rise aud sources of

MIR. DAVIS FREE
TRADE BILL

Commenting upon Senator Davis
bill for free trade with Puerto Rico
the New York Times says the intro
duction Of this measure by the Minne
sofa Senator makes the reported agree.
ment upon the House tariff bill look
rather absurd. The Times adds:
"Doubtless the feeling of which Sen
ator Davis bill is an expression is
much more aggressive, if not more
prevalent, in his part of the country
than elsewhere. The unanimous vote
of the Leg islature or Iowa is conclusive
upon that point. No part of the
American people likes cruelty or mean.
ness or perfidy. But so many rascal
ties have been perpetrated in the name
of protection that the public conscience
may we'll seem to have been hardened
against another more or lsss in those
regions in which it has been dehauch
ed heretofore
"The introduction of a substitute
for the House bill in the Senate shows
the opinion of its introducer that il
will be better for the party to 90 into
the elections upon platform of free
trade for PuertoRico than to make pr.
tense of harmony in Congress only t.
arouse an unmistakable sound of dis
cord in the country at large. 1t i:
true that the introduction Of the sub
stitute threatens delay, and that, if W.
would do just ice to Puerto Rico, 'tim'
is of the essence But it is also pro
per to remember that delay can bt
much better borne now than it coult
have been before the passage Of th
relief bill

THE DEMOCRATIC
OPPORTUNITY

The blunders of the Republican
leaders at Washington, owing to want
of craftsmanship in dealing with the
problems arising out OF the Spanish
Wa, s,ys the Ba 'timore San, would
cost the party the control of the next
House of Representatives, if not the
Presidency, if the Democratic leaders
were wise. Their only hope is that
the Democrats will save them by re-
newing the follies of their platform Of
1896.
Discussing the financial aspect of
the next campaign, the New York
Herald reaches the conclusion that
money will not flow into the Republi-
can treasury this year as it did in 1896.
The present issues are important, but
not exciting, IS they were in that year.
1t remains to he seen whether the
Democrats will fill the Republican
treasury by again exciting the fears of
business men. Says the Herold: at
the Democratic platform should be
more extreme than that of 1896, and
if Mr.. Bryan is the candidate, and
conducts a campaign of q radical
character, Republicans may be abe to
obtain all the money they will need.
If the unexpected should happen and
the Democrats should adopt relative
ly conservative platform and nominate
a more conservative candidate than
Mr.. Bryan, Republicans will expect
great difficulty in raising funds for the
campaign"
This seems to be the whole thing in
a nutshell The conditions of success
cannot be realized by the Republicans
unless the Democratic leaders persist
in the errors that ruined their cause
four years ago.
