Ideals FOR American Youth.

He was reelected and hoped in
his second term to accomplish sub
stantial results in the development
and affirmation of the policies 70
which he stood committed In that
mood of high hope, of generous ex-
pectation, he went to Buffalo. and
there, on the threshold of eternity,
he delivered that memorial speech.
worthy for its holiness of tone. it's
blameless morality, it's breadth of
view, to be regarded as his tesla
ment to the nation. Through all his
pride of country and his joy of its
success runs the note of solemn
warning, as in Kipling's noble hymn
Lest we forget
Secretary Hay closed with these
words: 1.-THE moral value to a ma
ton of renown such as Washing
tons and Iincoln's and McKinley's
is beyond all computation. No loftier
ideal can be held up to the emulation
OF ingenious youth. Grateful as we
may be for what they did, let us be
still more grateful for what they
were. While our daily being, our
public policies, still feel the infiu-
ence of their work. let us pray that
in our spirits their Aves may be vol
uble calling us upward and onward.
There is not one of us but feels
prouder of his native land because
the august figure of Washington pre-
sided over its beginnings; no one but
vows 1t a tenderer love because Lin
coin poured out his blood for it; no
one but must feel his devotion for his
country renewed and kindled when he
remembers how Mckinley loved,
reyered and served it, showed in his
life how citizen should live. and in
his last hour taught us how a gentle
man could die"

Difficult Questions Met.

"A year after he left congress he
was made governor of Ohio, and two
years later he was reelected. He
came to fill a space in the public eye
which obseured great portion of the
field of vision. In two national con-
ventions the presidency seemed with
in his reach. But he had gone there
in the interest of others and his
honor forbade any dallianee with
temptation. His hour was not ye.
come. There was, however no long
delay. For several months before
the Republican national convention
met in 1896 it was evident to all who
had eyes to see that Mr. Mckinley
was the only probable candidate of
his party.
when he came to the presidency
he confronted a situation of the ut
most difficulty. There had been
state of profound commercial and in
dgstrial depression, from which his
friends had said his election would
relieve the country. Our relations
with the outside world left much Go
be desired. The feeling between the
northern and southern sections of the
Union was lacking in the cordially
which was necessary to the welfare
of both. Hawaii had asked for an
nexation and had been rejected by
the preceding administration. There
was a state of things In the Carib
bean which could not permanently
endure Our neighbor's house was
on fire, and there We're grave doubts
as to our rights and duties in the
premises A man either weak OF
rash, either irresolute or headstrong
might have brought ruin on himself
and incalculable harm to the coun.
try. I believe that the verdict of his
tory will be that he met all these
grave questions with perfect valor
and incompatible ability; that is.
graphing with them he rose to the
full height of a great occasion in a
manner which redounded to the last,
ing benefit of the country and to his
own immortal honor.

VIENNA, Sept. 27-Sensational sto-
ries are rife in this city at the present
time concerning the mysterious disap-
pearance Of several persons who 1T Is
alleged have been seized by the hospi-
tai authorities for purposes Of vivisec-
ton.
That number of persons are kid
mapped yearly in the streets of Vienna
and from certain places for this pur-
pose seems to be an undoubted fact
which no well-posted medical man
will deny. The thing is generally
worked so adroitly however, that their
disappearance is always attributed to
suicide, murder, or some other usual
cause.
A prominent member Of the Vienna
Academy of Medicine had this to say
to your correspondent on the subject:
1.-THE practice of human vivisection Is
as old as the hills and is alluded to in
the Talmud, having been countenanced
by the Sanhedrin. There has naturally
always existed in the minds of the laity
prejudice against such practice, but
it would have been impossible for us to
have arrived at our present knowledge
of anatomy and medicine had syivisec-
ton not been resorted to. In the four
teenth or fifteenth century Italy turned
over her condemned criminals to med
ical colleges.
Condemned persons have also, be-
lieve, been vivisected in France. One
case mentioned in medical jurispru-
dence is that Of condemned robber

in the field and in every respect as any
who fought for the Boer cause, was
never so bitter, personally, as was De-
wet. He is a man of broader sympa-
thies and a more dignified nature.
Like Lord Roberts, the general lost
a son in the war, the darling of his
heart, a brave youth, only nineteen
years of age, who was struck by a bull
let while standing by his fathers side
at Modder river.
The general described the occurrence
as follows:

position to another at Modder' river,
when the boy began to lag little be-
hind. l turned to him and asked if he

There he lay down and began to

Does the wound pain you very
much?'
He said: Yes, father
| care you going to die?' I asked.
Yes, father he replied family, and
! in half an hour he was dead"
| The blow was a terrific one to the
| general. One night he overheard some
| of his men discussing Lord Roberts.
| One of the Beers remarked that the
war had brought the British COM
mander an earldom, 100000 and the
highest military position in his coun-
try's army.

mention of what the war has cost him.

strangers in Paris, particularly young
girls from the country whose ignorance
of the city and lack of friends there
made them easy victims. He cites one
case as an example of young Hunga-
rian peasant girl who, after being used
as subject for months, was finally
handed back to him to dispose Of The
girls memory had been so affected by
the drugs given her that she could not
remember where her original home
had been. She complained of having
suffered tortures indescribable in the
hospital and in a few months had
changed from rosy girl of eighteen
! to withered bag. Bertillot's instruc-
lions were to tell her that she had been
taken to the hospital sick and that he
was instructed by the authorities to
take her home.
He was told to take her to Trieste
or some barrack town in totally diff
ferent direction to her native place and
there to desert her, preferably to
leaving her in one of the wineshops
frequented by certain classes of wom-
en-.
This was to insure her never being
able to take any steps to reveal the
truth of her experiences should men,
DRY ever return The ex-convict claims
that he carried out this program
faithfully. He relates long train Of
experiences of an equally terrible char
acter and says that if ever pressed by
the authorities on account of any
crime he may commit he will mention
names and dates so that the persons he
accuses may be brought to justice
Naturally no information can be
gathered on the subject at the hospi-
tails where Bertillot's assertions are
fatty contradicted. The authorities
say that they have plenty of pauper
patients available for such purposes
should they need subjects for vivisec-
ton, but still there are many who be-
lieve there is truth in Bertillots con-
fession. Valerie Delamour.

the irreconcilabIe about him. He was
the first to give ear to peace proposals
of the English, and had his word ruled
much bloodshed would have been
avoided. Gen. Louis Botha is proba-
bly, the best educated man of the trio
who are coming here, and has highly
interesting personality.
The purpose of the visit of the Boer
chiefs to the United States is ostensi-
bly, to create a fund for the rehabilita-
ton Of their people, whose farms and
businesses have been devastated by
the war, and there is little doubt that
the people of Dutch descent in this
country will give literally to the cause
of their compatriots on the other side
of the globe.
In the meantime it looks as If the
British government intended doing as
much as possible for its new subjects,

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The determine
ton of the Boer leaders, Dewet, De La
Rev and Botha to visit the United
States and spend six months on an ex-
tended tour of the country will give
Americans an excellent chance to form
their own estimate of the heroes of
the late episode.

, flinching bravery and indomitable per-
sistence He was the last to see the
hopelessness of the Boer cause, al
though perhaps better acquainted with
the true facts of the case than any
other leader of the Beers.
There is a certain amount of reck-
1essness about the character of Dewet
which had made more or less of hero
of him among his own people. He has
strong touch of the Funston flavor
in his makeup.
His most conspicuous characteristics
are uncouthness and carelessness OF
personal appearance.
In his speech he is utterly lacking in
tact and were it not for the mistaken
faith in his own convictions he would
command little attention. The I'M

DeWet had no idea that the end was
so near when the British had practic-
ally got things into their own hands at
the Cape. In reply to those who in
speaking to him would say, IF our
cause should fail'- he would retort
savagely, IF the heavens should fall"
Long after the Boer cause came to be
considered hopeless even by it's best
friends DeWet insisted that the Beers
must win. When it was known that
under no circumstances could the Beers
hold out another three months he said
that he meant to do his best to make
it the most expensive war England
ever attempted.
Good Story of Dewet.
There is a very good story of Dewet,
which illustrates the humorous side
of a somewhat grim character. Three
scouts from one of the British yeoman-
ry regiments were brought before the
Boer commander They had been cap
tured before and released. 1t seemed
as if getting captured was going to be
chronic aff1iction with them.
The Boer general looked the men
over gravely, his small blue eyes SEEM
ing to penetrate their very marrow.
They awaited the result of his scrutiny
with some trepidation, evidently ex-
pecting that this time it might be their
fate to be shot.
Presently Dewet addressed them.
will you take a message from me
to your general, my men, If I release
you?" he asked.
They were not slow in giving affirm
ative answers, and were soon on their
way back to the British camp with
their rather important looking docu-
ment in a sealed package
Reaching the British outposts they
Immediately announced that they were
the bearers of peace proposals from

The general in command of the di-
vision was delighted and hurriedly tore
opel the envelope.

Vivisection Is Necessary.

Certainly vivisection is still neces-
sary in order to keep up the study of
advanced physiology. Experiments on
living animals are as necessary as is
dissection for the study Of anatomy
"The law of sacrifice is the law of
life therefore it is necessary according
to the law Of nature that one thing
should be sacrificed for another. Is 1t
not as much for the life of one of the
laity to be sacrificed in order to adj
vance science as for physician to
risk his life constantly as he does to
save life.
Moreover when the life Of a wantOn,
an epiIeptic or some other useless per-
son is sacrificed, as usually is the case,
I presume, is it not better that such
be done in order that the lives of hum
dreds of useful persons may be saved
through the knowledge gained
eff the science of medicine and the
art of medicine were separated today
from all that physiology has taught
added to them, the doctor of today
would be nothing but quack. But for
the system of physiology built up
through vivisection and experimental
ton we should be in the dark ages
again.
'sYou will find it difficult to discover
a physician or a psychologist who does
not believe in vivisection, because they
know it is essential in its place.

ing arose principally from the confess
