A SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL IN
STITUTE.

Their advent to Seattle is her
aided with JOY by the sick and suf-
fering of the community The
sense and good judgment Of the sick
man or the sick woman, who pre-
sents his or her case to the State
Electro Medical Institute for treat
ment becomes more apperent every
day.
That their marvellous success as
physicians has placed them on the
top round Of the ladder Of fame,
there is no longer any doubt. They
have for the last twenty-seven years
been fighting the battles against dis
ease with a courage and tenacity that
has won for them that success which
will inscribe their name imperish-
ably upon the tablets Of fame among
the great and noble men Of the pres
ent, past and future ages. In them
can be found the great and good
principles which make the esteemed
citizens the honorable business men
and the successful physicians. They
are no longer men of level reputa-
ton, but a national character with q
name to fame well and favorably
known throughout this whole land
They are large, robust men, the
picture Of health with pleasant,
yet firm expression on their faces
and when once in their presence yor
Immediately feel and relize their su-
periority physically and mentally.
Through their benevolent an6
sympathetic nature they extend theil
professional service to the worthy
poor of Seattle who are unable t.
pay for treatment, free and withou
charges on Friday afternoons Of eacE
and every week.
Their offices are established in tht
Safe Deposit & Trust Co.'s building
701 First avenue, Seattle, Wash
Their offices are beautifully and ex
pensively furnished, making them
pleasant and comfortable place fo
their callers and patients.

THE EXPO A FAILURE.

The exposition craze, which
struck this country a few years
ago, received a severe setback al
the close of the famous Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, which proved a great
financial loss to the thousands fur
nishing money for the enterprise
To be sure, the losers are small
stockholders, though the amount
lost was in round numbers $4,000
900. In view Of the fact that St.
Louis is to have a similar exposition
next year, unless it lays its plans
better and has more features to at
tract than did the Pan-American ex-
position, its failure from a financial
stand point, is already a foregone
conclusion, and whether it be fail
ure or not the failure Of the Pan
American exposition will 90 a long
way toward dampening the ardor Of
those who will be called upon to
furnish the money for the big show.
Expositions for the most part are
unnecessary luxuries, and they have
proven themselves so to be. No ex-
position that has been held in this
country has ever proven a genuine
financial success, though it may be
argued that while expositions do not
directly pay those interested in them
they do indirectly pay the country
for fostering them from an educa-
tiOnal standpoint.

ORDERS LEAVING FRANCE

At the present time there is quite
an exodus Of religious orders from
France, and these orders have for
the most part found homes under
the English flag. The Assumption
lists are going to Londin in great
numbers at the invitation of Cardin-
al Vaughn. The Jesuits are finding
homes throughout most of the pro-
vncial towns Of England, seeking, it
would appear, to not become con-
gested together in any one place or
community. Four or five other
orders are settling in the Isle Of
Wight, and as many others have pur-
chase estates in Hampshire, Sussex
and Kent. In Alderney, Jersey and
Guernsey many orders are finding
homes among the residents, where
Norman French is still the language
of the settlers. Many other commu-
mites Of England are at the present
time receiving quite a few French
settlers, and the student Of immigra-
ton is at a loss to exp plain this mi
gratory move A strong protest has
been recorded against these French
settlers finding homes on the chan
mel islands in any great numbers,
lest in times Of war between
France and England they become a
source of much danger to the Eng
lish government. The presence of
so many Frenchmen in those islands
might make it absolutely necessary
for the English government to con
quer their own possessions, and these
islands are considered strongholds in
the English Notifications. No pro
tests are being made against them
from a religious standpoint, but
from political standpoint they are
being bitterly opposed as to settling
in the channel islands.

According to adyices sent out
from Peking a bold attempt was
made to assassinate the empress dow
ager of China. Her would-be assail-

zatiOn has elected a mayor in a prom

having been elected mayor Of San

The British forces met a heavy re-

hood of 400 men in the engagement.
From an official source it is

The probability of America hav-
ing pope is again being discussed
at length both in and out Of the
Catholic church Of this country, and
to some extent in European coun-
tries. Evidently the Catholic church
sees that it must do something along
this line for its American wor-
shippers, lest dissension becomes
prevalent in the church throughout
America and it break away from the
church of Rome and establish an in
dependent Catholic church with its
head in America instead of Rome.
Many Of the most learned advocates
of the Catholic church declare that
the selecting Of Rome as the head OF
the Catholic church was a divine
act and that st. Peter was directed
to do so by the Master himself. At
the time of st. Peter the head of the
Catholic church was at Antioch, but
he removed the same to Rome,
where it has remained ever since.
Whether the divine hand played any
part in this is a matter of conjecture
and opinion, and so much of an
oninion that the Catholic worshipers
of the United States and the South
American republics want an Ameri-
can pope and they would not object
to the head of the Catholic church
being transferred from Rome to the
United States. This, however, will
moth be done even though it causes
split between the worshipers Of the
two countries and two Catholic
churches result therefrom.

The results Of the New York cam
paign practically retires Richard
Croker from the political field Of
that state For the past few
months there have been signs Of dis
sension in Tammany Hall, and many
of the members thereof were inclin-
ed to rebel from the rule Of Croker,
and now that he has lost this cam
paign he himself says, ''this is the
last campaign Of which [ will take
personal charge" which means that
Tammany will retire Croker at once
Notwithstanding the fact that Seth
Low has been elected to the mayor
atty Of Greater New York, he has
anything but a pleasant duty before
him. To govern Greater New York
requires perhaps more energy than it
does for the president of the United
States to dictate the affairs of the
entire government. The patronage
in the hands Of the mayor of Greater
New York is in excess Of that in the
hands of the president of the United
States, and with every other man in
the city wanting a political job, it
will prove a severe strain on the
mental faculties Of Mr.. Low to keep
peace in tn new political family, and
unless he is a man Of great natural
executive abilities he will fall by the
wayside To keep a union of reform
forces together requires much tact
and talent, and from past expert
ences of other reform forces it seems
utterly impossible to do so; however
it is very generally hoped that Mr.
Low will conduct the aqairs of the
city in such a way as to keep Tam
many from again getting control Of
the city government as it has ha6
for the past number Of years.
