of the concern is the pathological,
meteorological and analytical where
examinations often required in the
practice Of medicine are made by spec
ialists in this kind of work Many of
the doctors in country towns have not
the apparatus for making a thorough
miCroscopical examination for the dis
covery of disease and the Pharmaceuti-
cal company does it for them. They
take what they want examined from
the patients send the specimen into the
Worcester concern, where it is exam
ined and a complete report made to
the sender, giving him all the informa-
ton he needs on the matter. This de-
partment has already grown to be
popular with the physicians and hun
dreds of examinations have been made
since it was opened.
The manufacture of fluid and solid
extracts from drugs is only incidental
to the great work that is being done
by the company and as every depart
ment is in charge of an expert only the
best results are attained. The industry
was started by Worcester physicians
but it has attracted to it physicians all
over New England who are either
stockholders or regular customers.

LACHRYMOSE INDIVIDUAL WORKS
BOGUS CHECK GAME NEATLY

Lindley's liquor house, and informing
them that the undertaken had recon-
mended their place, he purchased a
case of rare old Burgundy. writing his
check for an amount IS in excess Of
the bill and having it honored. This
purchase also he ordered sent TO Muir
ray.
The casket and the Burgundy went
down on the same train by express,
and just before the banks closed Satur-
day the checks were presented for pay
ment, one on the National Bank OF the
Republic and the other on the Utah
National bank. At both Institutions
the answer given was TO the effect that
they had rot the pleasure Of Mr.. Mil
ler's acquaintance.
Communication by wire was estab-
lished with Murray. and no such name
appeared in the city directory. Fur
thermore the undertaker's friend had
never heard of Mr.. Miller
The casket and the Burgundy came
back yesterday TO their respective own
ers. and Mr.. Miller's wherea bouts is
still a matter of speculation.
The mystery unsolved is why Miller
did not get SIS from each of his vic
Tins, which would have been quite as
easy, especially with the undertaken,
after the skill he displayed in that emo
tional stunt.

yesterday in a hall in TOltenham Court

assassination of President Mckinley,
by r. Kelly of New York. The audi
ence. largely composed Of foreigners,
appIauded all references to Saint
Czolgosz and his "meritoriOus" act
The speakers included Enrico Mala-
sesta. the Italian anarchist, who de-
scribed the assassination as "a deed
of heroism."
Keny's lecture was a wild harangue
in denunciation of McKinley's political
career. He declared that they did not
try to Justify ASA ssination. but rather
to explain il as tNe outcome of the
oppression of ', orknnen by capital"

MONEY FOR RANSOM
is NOW POURING IN

Boston. Oct. Gust how much
money has been given for the ransom
of Miss Ellen H Stone, the American
board missionary, held captive by
brigands. is not known tonight. Those
directing the effort in her behalf hope
that the response throughout the coun-
try will be very liberal. and that it is
now fully 100000 if not the exact
amount which is $3.50, 600.
In Boston and vicinity the amount
on hand from a number of sources
reaches nearly $4,000, and there are
a host of churches to hear from. To-
morrow mornings mail is expected TO
bring in many thousands of dollars adj
ditional making it possible for Boston
alone to raise over one-third of the
total amount The belief is general
mere that the country at large Will
care for two thirds of the ransom
money. SO that it viii be ready by
Thursday noon The family of Miss
Stone had no news. today, and the
American board could give out nothing
to throw light on the missibnary's pre-
dicament.

WIND CAUSED BIG
BRIDGE TO BREAK

New York, Oct 6.--District Attorney
Philbin today mades public the report
of Edwin Duryea and Joseph Mayer
the special engineering experts ap-
pointed by him TO look int othe con-
dition of the Brooklyn bridge after
the breaking of several suspender rods
and suspender bands July "A last.
These experts were appointed to make
this report with a view to presenting
the matter to the grand jury if it
should be found that the bridge de-
partment had been negligent.
The experts found that the inspec-
ton Of the structure as maintained by
the bridge department is faulty, but
that the bridge is now practically as
strong as when completed. One trou-
bic is that the moving loads which
cross the bridge have increased SO rap
idly that the structure must be
strengthened. The accident of the
breaking of the suspender rods and
bands. which was discovered July "A,
though some of these rods had broken
previously, is found to have been due
to the wind pressure.
They find that the safety Of the
bridge can be increased by remedying
certain defects in the design. They
hasten to say, however, that they do
not criticise the designer, and call at
tention to the fact that since this
structure was designed great advance
ments has been made in such work
