THE SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT

The true scientist works for human
ity while the average man works for
himself Occasionally some great sur
gical secret or medical discovery if
sacredly guarded IN order that its or
iginatOr may reap a financial reward
but Il is TO the everlasting credit OF the
medical practitioner that all ina, lie
learns through research, accident or
experiment is given to the world under
an impulse Of helping humanity The
doctor OF surgeon lives In the midst
of pain and disecEe. He sees mere Of
the woes of humanity than other men,
and instead Of becoming callous, his
interest is aroused. He draws upon
the knowledge Of all OF his fellow
practitioners, and in return gives TO
them all that he has of value. Yet it
Is not for them, but for humanity.
A noted case has just come under
the observation of the press. Adolf
Lorenz, of Vienna. was brought to
Chicago to perform an operation on a
child of one Of the Armour family. His
task having been accomplished he
gives to the practitioners of this c1m-
try the benefit of his skill and knowl-
edge He went into the hospitals and
treated all who came, who were affllct-
ed with the same disease that had af-
fiicted his wealthy patient He made
no charge and the poorest lad the
same attention and treatment as the
Armour child, whose parents had
spent a fortune to bring the famous
specialist across the water
But the greatest service Is in the in
struction to the Illinois surgeons, who
should be able TO treat all such caseI
in the future, and the treatment if sue.
cessful, will become a part OF ordinary
surgery. One who DISCOVERIES 4 method
of relieving humanity OF certain physi
cal ills, and who gives to the world th'
benefit Of his research, is better thar
he who has taken a city.
1t is difficult to estimate what medi
cal science is doing fer humanity
Aside from assisting in the cure of tn
ills that flesh is heir to. the science 1
dedicated to the prevention Of DISEASE

higher state of public health in thi

opinion. the Morning News now has a
chance. There are under consideration
end discu sicm matters OF vital interest
to The State and her people. 1t rs time
when strong men have opinions and do
not hesitate to express them What
does it think of the Governors pur-
pose OF calling an extra lession Of the
Legislature in order TO elect Addicls?
Surely that Is worth a passing notice
What does it think of the Hon. Mike
Byrne, the Hon. Jimmie Robertson and
other candidates? It does not fail to
anlighten us on New York politics, but
how about Delaware? From three coll
umns Of editorial, the following is the
only utterance on local political af-
fairs:
The Republicans will need to elect
every member possible to serve in the
lower house of the next Congress.
Delaware ought to send a Republican
and those who stand in the way of
such result are assuming a grave re-
sponsibility.
Now that is very pretty, but it is
simply a variation OF the old cry: 'Be
good.' Can't our contemporary be
little mora specific? Practical sugges-
tions are worth more now than after
the election. VIII it not tell lis who is

The Electrical Review calls atten-
tion to the vast aggregate OF horse
power now being developed at the Nj
agara Falls. The original American
company, the IN. r. Power Company, -
has an output Of $4,000 horsepower, and
will soon produce $4,000 more. The
Hydraulic Power Company now pro-
duces 10000 horsepower. but will soon
add 10000 more On the Canadian side
there are two companies utilizing the
falls to generate electricity, each to PRO
duce 100000 horsepower. Besides these
plants there are other smaller. ones on
both sides of the river. Here is an ag-

is familiar with the function Of govern

THE ARBIrRAMENT OF REASON

The American people are interested
in two events Of vast importance; the
decision Of the Arbitration Beard at
the Hague in the matter Of tho pious
fund, and the agreement Of the coal
miners and operators to submit thir
differences to q board OF arbitrator.
At an earlier period the former dispute
would have taken a war for its adjust
ment, and the latter would have meant
civil war. But Mexico accepts the ver-
dict Of the international tribunal IS
final, and chesrlully declares her pur-
pose TO live up to it, without the slight
est feeling against the United States.
The United States might have de-
clarod there was nothing to arbirate,
since the decision Of the tribunal jus
tihes her position. yet once admit the
right and the ability Of interested par.
ties to decide the merits CT their owr

fiicts.

ror. but they have the merit Of reach
ing conclusions through the medium Of
reason and common sense II Is this
idea which is being extended TO dis
putes between masses OF men, between
labor and capital and between nations.
As It is absurd for two men TO settle a
controversy by a resort TO physical vio-
lence, it is equally foolish for
masses Of men organized into nations,
and brute force never yet established
a principle that could not have besn
maintainedd by other means.
In the matter of internal dispute,
the laws are frequently invoked. but
just as frequently there is no law to

rREAr THE REPORTERS RIGHT

At a meeting of hospital superin-
tendents in Philadelphia recently, cer-
tain views were expressed regarding
the publication of news from tho-e
institutions. DR.. John Peters, OF the
Rhode Island Hospital. said: q be-
lieye that the newspapers and the am
bulance are the best advertising me-
diums a hospital can have, and DR..
Charles O'Reilly, of Canada, declared;
q never try to cover up news. If a
man in his delirium jumps out OF a

the newspapers all about it. 1t is bet

FRANK KINDS INSTANTLY KILL.
ED BY BULLET IN BRAIN.
WIFE WAS IN The ROOM
Relatives Say He Was in the Act of
Reloading RevoIver-No Mo-
tive for Suicide.

Butte, June 24.-Frank Kinds, prom
brother of Thomas R. Kinds, vice
president of the Silver Bow National
bank, died at his home, 815 South
Montana street, at Z O'Clock last night.
Whether his death was the result of
an accident or premeditated suicide,
is a matter of doubt. His friends and
relatives insist that the bullet which
passed through his brain was acct
dentally discharged from a 3S-caliber
revolver, which his wife states he
was reloading preparatory to taking
it with him on a trip through the
country, while the nature and location
of the wound in the side of the head
points strongly to suicide. The bull
let entered the right side of the head,
about one inch in front of the ear,
and came out On the left side at a
point a trife higher than that at
which it entered. It passed through
the lower portion of the brain and
completely shattered the frontal bone.
After passing through the head the
bullet struck the wall, almost pierre
ing it, and then r~ebounded. 1t was
found at the side of the body.
Mr.. Kinds family relations were of
the pleasantest, and financially he is
reported as having been we'll fixed.
There is, therefore, no reason which
can be extended in support of the
suicide theory. He was married
about tow years ago to Miss Mary
Sheehan, of this city. He was "a
years of age. and was born at Ottum-
wa, Iowa. His father resides in Chi
cago, where he also leaves three sis
tiers and a brother. In this city he is
survived by his brother. Thomas R.
Kinds, and at Whitehall there lives
another brother, who is operating a
mine.
An inquest will be held on Wednes-
day morning at II o'clock.
