Or. W. S. Noblitt was before Judge
Wilcox yesterday on three separate
charges OF practicing medicine with
out a license. He was found guilty
on his trial for the first charge and
fined $40 and costs. His trial on the
two other charges, which were of an
identical character, was postponed one
week. in order to hear how the I'M
lucky NJ. ID. might fare with the board
OF health.
Judge Wilcox reviewed the doctors
pilikia. He said it seems that Mob
lit had unethieal relations with pat
ent medicine outfit that came here
some time ago and that as result
the board of health cancelled his right
10 practice. The judge said that in
his mind an ofense against profes-
sional ethics was not so serious mat
ter as malpractice or a host OF other
things. and he thought the doctors on
the board Of health We're to blame 20
a large extent Tor their indecision AMI
not taking positive action on Mob
lifts application for reinstatement
He thought the board should say yes
or no. and say it quick.
AZ the board of health meeting On
Thursday the case was considered.
Mr.. Winston was for immediate &C
ton. but the majority favored post
poning the matter until Judge Wilcox
got through with the petitioner.

Afford No Field for American Enter.
 prise
 In pursuance Of the policy now pur- sued by the consular service of ascer- taining the state of foreign fields as opportunities for American labor, cap- ital and eRterpt fse, Horace W. Allen, consul general to Seoul. Korea, writes for the consular reports under date of January 2S that Korea now employs nc foreign military officers as advisers or instructors in it's army, and is not likely to do so, owing to an agreement made with Russia when a large staff of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an- nouneed her ability and intention to dispense with further assistance of that kind. The many requests from young men who have recently left the service of the United States asking for posi- tfons in connection with the Korean army are futile. There is no demand for their services in Korea. There is no demand for foreign advisers to the Korean government. Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died. their places have been filled, and there is no further de- mand for assistance of that kind. The newspaper report that one of these advisers had been receiving salary of $100000 gold per annam is entirely misleading; such positions pay from $150 to $250 per month. There is no demand for employees on the railroads in Korea. Japanese control and op- crate the steam railroad. and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads. I believe the posi- tsons are all filled. Employment with the mines would have to be secured be- fore coming to Korea. The agent of the mines in America is H. A. Noble, representative of the Oriental Consol- dated Mining company. San Francisco. Prospectors cannot operate in Korea, and there is no employment with the mines other than on wages. am teid the mining company has no lack of ap- plicants.

 M0ndicant Students.

Concerning the poorer students Of Russia the Saturday Review says: Their mendacity is passive rather than sctiFe. Unlike the mendfcant friars, they never ask, but they know much will be given them. They know, too strange fact in strange country-that the university is open to all, irrespec- tive of means or position. Thus the university becomes the poor Russians s golden opportunity, for here, as else- where, there are many posts, for which graduates alone are eligible. A stroll through the streets of Moscow during term time furnishes abundant evidence of the popularity of the university. The uneempromising military blue and green uniform which stamps the stus dent, and which lie can never, save under dire penalties, exchange for plain clothes, is to be met with at every turn A few rich students are caught sight of driving; the many ara on foot.

PIPES OF PEACE.
Those Made of Blood-Rod Stone Nest
 Esteemed by Indians.

oNoCAA%N ny
 Nearly every Indian tribe has some interesting legend connected with the blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar- ries of Minnesota. One tale is that long ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes and Sioux, the bravest of their respec- tive tribes, met in conflict here. They fought all day, from early morn untif set of sun, until the chieftain of one band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made captives Among the captives was the chieftains daughter. Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spells. Refusing, how ever, to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. Tn dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away, and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. Catlin, the famed ex plorer of Indian country, was the first white man to visit this locality. Att traete6 by the Indian tales he had heard in the summer of 1886, in com- pany with young English gentleman and his trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. Anthony's Falls to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long held the place In superstitious estimation, and also that it has been the resort of diff ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, Independent of the fact that it is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents pipe Of 1t, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribes have tradi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that 1t is thereby part of their flesh. Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff. ficulty in approaching it, being stopped by several hundred of them, who or dered us back and threatesed us very hard, saying that no white man had eve. seen it and that none should.

MANY PLAQUES IN AFRICA.
Both Man and Beast Are Made Miser-
 able by Natures Pests


 From Ainslee's Magazine. South Af- rica exports hides, wool and mohair, and the fanchman would reve1 in riches were it not for the various pests that decimate his foeks and herds. The most deadly one Is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southWard, leaving a wake of Hhitened bones In travelling through Natal I saw fifty oxen lying dead about a spring, so suddenly had the disease attacked them It was al- most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant, though the proprietor resented any such charge, and plethoric German travel CT who called out in a loud tone for roast rinderpest" in the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had to be picked up in fragments. Dr. Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague The country is now recovering from it slowly Another pest is the tsetse dy, an insect resembling our common house fly, but three times as large. Its bite will kill a horse, COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange to say. does not affect wild animal pr human being. A less dangerous but more troublesome. pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the sOles. Lucky you didn'; leave your clothes on the floor" was the hotel keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal and for that reason much of the build ing is done with corrugated iron. The anthi1l is one of the conspicuous land marks in travelling over South Africa.
