How Doctors Earn Big Fees.

The doctor and some of the reporters
were talking in the little room opposite
the telephone office down at Bellevue Hos
pital, says the New York Sun.
Il see by the papers, said the doctor,
mentioning the story of a large bill re-
ported to have been sent in by surgeon
of the city. that this doctor didn't feel
satisfied with $4,000. He thought he ought
10 have $1,000. That's a rather fine dis
tinction, perhaps, but st all depends on the
sort of a case which the surgeon treated.
man with his skill and his standing can
charge almost anything he pleases.
THE way in which some physicians earn
large fees is curious I recall one case OF
the sort-or at least a story of case for
won't vouch for the truth of it all. A
man had been suffering for some time
with gastritis and had been treated for
more than year by several physicians,
The usual treatment is to put the patient
on a milk diet That usually does the
work. but this man kept growing worse.
He finally summoned DIR. B., one of the
best known physicians of the city. When
DR. B. learned the history Of the case he
took one long look at the mans face and
reached for his hat
L need time to think 1t over he said.
You meet me tomorrow at Delmonico's
and I'll prescribe treatment of some sort
for you
The patient appeared at the time the
doctor had set.
Come in and sit down., said the physi-
clan, 4 can talk to you while 1 am eating
my dinner
"Then the physician said something in
a low tone and when the waiter came
back he brought two orders of oysters.
The patient looked surprised.
Now said the doctor, you just fall
to and eat a good meal. That's all you
want"
1T turned out that the doctor was right.
The man who had been nearly dead was
soon in good health Then the physician
sent in his bill. 1t was for $4,000. When
the man received it he hurried around to
the doctors office.
BY thunder said the man. DO you
think I'm made of money. I can pay it
all right, but now, honestly, doctor, don t
you think it's pretty large?
No replied the physician. Your life
is worth more than $4,000, isn't it? Well,
saved your life. I can't see that I'm
asking too much

| The charge has been frequently made
OF late that there is a secret alliance be
| tween this country and Great Britain.
| The administration has Indignantly denied
the charge. Secretary of State Hay de-
MED it only few days ago in a com.
municatiOn to Congress
! In an interesting article in the Atlantic
Monthly for March, ex-Attorney General
| Olney says that there is an alliance De
tween this country and Great BRIAN. that
IL is an changing alliance, and that it
was not brought about by treaty, bur
| by the Philippine Islands. The position
| taken by him is that if it had not been
for the attitude assumed by Great Britain
| during our war with Spain il would not
| have been possible in all probability, for
us to have acquired the Philippines or
to have retained them after we had ac-
quired them.
Because of the position she assumed
during that war, and because of our rec
ognition of that position, lit follows,
says Mr. Olney, chat we now find our
selves actually caught in an changing
alliance, forced there not by any treaty
or compact of any sort, formal or in
formal. but by the stress of the inexora-
he facts of the situation"
Mr. Olney calls it an entangling ALI
ance, because while We might be and
should be friends with all the world, we
are not likely to be because of our neces-
sary intimacy and dependence on one ma
tion-an intimacy that is likely to excite
the suspicious and i'll will of the others.
Mr. Olney finds some satisfaction in the
fact that Great Britain can be of more
benefit to us than any other nation could,
and that if we retain the Philippines she
Will, in all probability, be of very great
service in several ways. He thinks it
was a mistake to take the Philippines
but having taken them we shall have to
keep them and make the best use of them
we can.
1t is rather interesting to have 1t stated
on such excellent authority as Mr.. Olney
that, Notwithstanding the indignation
shown at the suggestion of an alliance
between Great Britain and this country
there is such a relation between them
and, while he does not say so, the in
ference from what he says is that one
political party is as much responsible for
it as the other. 1t was one of the re-
suits of the Spanish-American war; and
both parties are responsible for that war
1t is true the Democrats did not take
kindly to that part of the treaty with
Spain which gave us the Philippines. Still,
they helped to ratify it. Until evidence
to the contrary is found it is probable
that this alliance which Mr. Olney has
found will be accepted as the only one
that exists between this country and Great
Britain.

THE ADVANCE IN COTTON.

A couple of months ago it was thought
probable that the price of cotton would
go 10 s cents by the middle of February
There were very few who believed That
il would go as high as cents during the
season. Al the Cotton Exchange yester-
day it was freely predicted that the price
would go TO 10 cents.
And it would moi be surprising if 1t
should The English spinners are now
thoroughly alarmed Their trade journals
are telling them that there is danger that
English mills will have to shut down for
want Of cotton and they are making haste
10 replensh their stocks, which are said
to be very much below what they usually
are at this season of the year. A great
deal of cotton will have to be bought for
shipment abroad within the next few
months. and the brisk demand will I'M
doubleday send up the price. No doubt the
English spinners regret their folly in plac-
ing so much confidence in the estimates
sent out by Mr.. Henry NELL. They refus-
ed TO have their faith in him shaken by
the short crop reports of the department
of agriculture and of the different cotton
houses of established reputation. They
will have to pay dearly for their stubborn
ness If they had bought when che ques-
ton of the size of the crop began to be
discussed they could have obtained cotton
for at least $40 bale less than they can
gee it for now. 1t is probable that they
will have to pay as much as $l5 bale
more for it, before the next crop is ready
for market. than they could have obtained
il for when they were first told that the
crop was a short one. The price OF mid
ding cotton advanced 1-16 yesterday, and
the outlook for steady movement upward
is good.
Il, is doubtful if the cotton planters Will
have Mr.. Neil to contend with next year
The confidence of the English spinners in
him has been shaken. But because Mr..
Neil has lost much of his power to do
them injury by his estimates the cotton
planters should not make the mistake OF
planting an increased acreage in cotton.
II they want to get fair price for cotton
they must keep the crop at about what the
world can take at a price that will pay
them a profit.
One thing that is regrettable in connec-
ton with the crop that is now being
marketed is, that so large part of it pass
ed out of the hands of the producers be-
fore the price was nearly so high as 1t
is at present The planters were told very
early in the season, however that the
prospect was that there would be great
advance in the price of cotton.

while travelling there in the '70's. and on

great wealth and marked literary and
forensic ability, she gradually built up
a large organization. Among those who
aided her in the beginning of the work
were Rev. DR.. Heber Newton, Rev DR.,

Prof. Bjerregaard. The brunt of the work,

How wheeler was Located.

The running about the rooms and cor
ridors that Gen. Joe Wheeler does in the
course of a day when in Congress would
completely wear out a less interchangeable
man. writes a Washington correspondent
in the New York Sun There is consider
able method in that, however, as it enables
him TO escape many importunate constit-
uents-they are never able to catch up
with him. One day a stranger went to
the room of the Military Committee and
inquired If Gen. Wheeler was in. The
affable attendant got into conversation
with him and found him to be some one
whom the General would like to see. The
stranger said he had been up to the House
two days hunting Wheeler, and every
one would tell him the General was just
here. or there, or in the smoking room,
but he never could find him. Said the
attendant:
''Do you really want to see Gen. Wheel
err"
81 certainly do" replied the visitor.
''Then take my advice, sir. Pick out
any spot on this side of the Capitol-it
doesn't matter where, and just stand
there quietly for ten minutes, and I am
morally certain the General will come by
it, and thus you will have your opportun-
ity to speak to him"
81 expect that's good advice" returned
the visitor, land I think l will stay right
here for a while"
In less than three minutes Gen. Wheeler
bounced into the room, and, seeing his
friend. expressed the utmost delight in
the meeting, while the doorkeeper looked
on with an I-told-you-so-air.
