This Was All the Famous Surgeon Re-
ceiVed in Fees

DR.. Adolf Lorenz, who returned to New
York from Boston yesterday, while discuss
ing his visit to this country said in an in
terview:
There Is one thing I want to say, and
that is in regard to finance. I see it re-
ported that I have made in this country
100000. Now, as matter Of fact, I got
one fee Of 10000 in Chicago, and in the
four months I have been here I have
earned just 10000 My practice at home
in four months is worth that
II have seen number Of private patients
in each Of the cities / visited, but, as you
Americans say, in no instance have they
more than paid the freight AS matter
of fact. it has been the physicians Of the
various cities who have profited by my
visits. They are my colleagues, and 1 am
glad they did; but you see, l remained only
two, three, four or perhaps five days. Dur
ing that time was working in the hospi-
tails, in the clinics. The private patients
began to come in, and they were operated
upon by the local surgeons who had wit
messed my clinics. But 1 am glad I came.
The trip has been the browning success of
my life. Ny trip here has been successful
ethically, but not materially
DR.. Lorenz spoke gratefully of the hos
pitality he had received at the hands of the
Americans.

THE TRADELESS MAN.
Boys Should Not Grow Up Without
Special Training.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
When the first severe weather of the
present winter struck London the dis
patches from that city chronicled much
suffering among the poor and an unusually
large number of men out Of work Many
OF the unemployed were stated to be men
discharged from the army because of the
return of peace in South Africa. The facts
were stated in such a way as to lead to the
Inference that British employers were
somewhat needless OF the special claims
Of men who had risked their lives in their
country's cause. According to the state
ments Of society formed to secure en-.
ployment for discharged soldiers, given IN
yesterdays dispatches. such Inference
against the patriotism Of British employ.
ers was not well founded.
This society states that employers show
a preference for men who have served in
the army, II only they know something
about some trade. 1t states that its books
prove that there Is no lack Of work for men
who have even rudimentary training in
some occupation calling for more than
mere muscle. OF unskilled laborers there
are ten for every place, but for men even
slightly skilled work is going begging. In
these facts there is a lesson for boys and
their parents in America as well as in
Great Britain. As civilization advances.
as the waste places Of the earth are made
to blossom, as population increases, there
Is less and less proportionate demand for
the man who has merely his hands and no
special knowledge of how to use them.
There Is less and less demand for the
tradeess man.
The time was in this country when there
was great deal of work to be done for
which little more than muscular strength
and willingness to use 1t was required.
But those times are rapidly passing away.
Muscular strength is still a good and nec-
essary thing. Without it there cannot be
good health. But more is now increasingly
demanded. and that is the knowledge OF
how to do some particular thing at least
reasonably well. The parents who permit
their sons to grow up-the boys who permit
themselves to start out in the world-with.
out that knowledge are laying up sorrow
for the future. Beaten in life's race from
the start Is the tradeless man.

A Disputed Poem.
from the Nashville Banner.


Major Lamar Fontaine Of Mississippi
writes a letter to the Memphis News again
asserting his claim to the authorship of the
poem. "All Quiet Along the Potomac To-
night" He says he wrote the poem in
August, 1861, near Leesburg, Va, and that
it was set to music and sung In the camp
in September Of the same year. He says it
was not until long after the war that he
learned that Mrs. Beers, northern lady,
claimed the authorship and had secured
the publication of the poem over her name
by the Harpers in November, 1861. Among
other evidences that he submits to substan-
tiate his own claim, he says Mr.. T. H.
Hald, now president of the Black Diamond
Coal Company at Knoxville, Tenn. was
the sergeant major of the Goth Massa-
chusetts Regiment, stationed at Poolesvilie,
in Maryland, and received copy of the
poem from one of the southern pickets in
September, 1861, and that correspondent
of a northern paper telegraphed it home
the night 1t was received. Major Fontaine
says Mrs. Beers or her son published a
bound volume of her poetical works. OF
this volume he says: Il read and reread
and scanned every line and verse. And
l was thoroughly and emphatically sur
prised, after the careful reading of every
line in Tiny own poem included-that no.
where In it had she. during the entire four
years of the bloodiest war ever known on
this or any other continent, made mention
OF any of the thousands of pathetic scenes
that occurred in those wild. heroic days"

Reaction in Europe.

From the London Spectator.
We verify believe that on the continent
kings, soldiers and reactionaries are every
where gaining power through the slow
dying away Of confidence among the peo-
pie in their representative bodies, dying
produced entirely by their want of ability
to move. They are longing for senates
which will debate with gravity at reasona-
BILE length, and then act; and they find
nothing but talking shops" crowded with
g. mob which often cannot keep order,
which always seem filled with very spirit
Of faction, and which extremists have
learned to paralyze by insuperable delays
Legislation is like a Spanish civil trial, IN
which final judgment is hardly expected
before the next generation. The people
weary Of it ALL and when they have not,
like ourselves, the experience of ages in
dealing with parliaments, they gradually
come round to the belief that there is more
to be hoped from any form Of royal or
bureaucratic authority than from any
chamber, however representative. Those
who believe in free institutions, as We our
selves do, will have to note this temper OF
mind most seriously, and to see If, even by
radical changes, procedure cannot be so
amended that the majority can once more
act within reasonable time. 1t is not of
much avail that food is good and cheap IL.

served at the home Of the brides father.
Misses Blanche B. Etchison and Laice
Boyer acted as brides attendants, and Rev.
R. c. Strasburger of Baltimore and w.

FRICK NOT A CANDIDATE.
Does Not Wish the Presidency Of the
Steel Trust

H. c. Prick in an interview with a rep
resentative Of the Associated Press in
Pittsburg last night says:
There is no vacancy in the presidency Of
the United States Steel Corporation, or any
other executive position. that I know of.
and even If there were. and 1 should be
offered one. my own affairs require so much
Of my time that it would not be possible

nothing would induce me to take any po-
sition that could claim my time from my
own affairs l am a director in the United
States Steel Corporation. besides being a
large stakeholder. and am very much inter-
ested in its success; and while I am willing
to give all the time and attention required
Of me as director. could not accept any

sive attention"

Pecans Grated on Hickory.
From the Birmingham Age-Herald

The Charleston, 8. c.. News and Courier
calls attention to the fact that in Chester
county in its state they are grating pc
cans on hickory sprouts. Such gratis grow
at the rate Of five feet a year. while seed
lirgs grow very slowly. 1t Is believed such
CRAFTS will begin to bear in four years,
while Seeding pecans would consume twice
that time in getting to productiveness. Nor
il this all. Seeding pecans are subject to
attacks of "borers,' while Ii is assumed
that hickory stock would be proof against
such attacks. Alabama is full Of hickory
sprouts. and IL these sprouts can be turned
into pecan trees. a new source Of income
will soon become available. Two old pecan
trees in Virginia are considered worth 81 600
apiece, simply because they each yield an
nually the income of that sum.

The Fire Gods Wrath.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
curious story comes to us from the
suburbs. A resident In the near neighbour
hood of London has a museum in his house.
in which the principal curiosity is a fire god,
which has been worshiped for many CEN
turtles in an Indian temple. Once, when the
owner Of the house took party Of people
to look at the museum, he proposed In fun
that they should all kow-tow to the image.
This they all laughingly consented to do,
all except two ladies, who declared II was
wicked. The fire god was revenged within
two months One of the ladies had her
house burned to the ground the week after,
and the other one ION a later date fell bach,
wards into the fire and sustained some ter
rible burns. We give the tale without com.
ments, only commencing it to the attention
of Mr. AnStey.

The return game of base ball
between the Appleton and Mil

grounds here last Friday, the
Milbank team winning in a score
of Z to IL and the last half of the
ninth inning to spare. The game
was watched with great interest
by good sized crowd, and when
the Appleton boys scored six
runs in the first inning it looked
as if the game was in their hands,
but as the Milbank boys warmed
up to their work they held their
opponents down to one score in
the other eight innings and did
some good batting until they
were easy winners. Following
is the score:

To the Patrons Of the Milbank
Schools

The city schools will open
next Monday morning. 1t is q
holiday, but it has been thought
best to convene and organize for
the work of the year. AS far as
possible every child that expects
to attend at any time during the
year should be there on the
first day, get his bearings and
start right. Delays in the be-
ginning are very likely to dis
courage the child and impede his
progress.
Notice should be taken that all
pupils entering the first grade
as beginners must enter the
grade at the beginning of the
year. The age limit is six years,
and it will be a mistake for any
child under that age to attend
school, especially under the
present crowded conditions.
If the present plans as laid
out can be followed . the "haf
day. session is at an end. The
plans contemplate all day ses-
sions, and while it may incon-
venience some pupils, it seems
to be for the general good.
Each pupil should bring the
monthly report card of last year
as a guide to the teachers in
placing them this year.
Volume II of Chambers En-
cyclopedia has been removed
from the school library and likely
/ from the building. It is imper-
alive that the person having it,
return it to the library i'm medi-
.ately.
| The management and training
of nearly $50 children will not be
an especially easy matter. The
difficulties that will arise will be
many and complex. The teach
ers will be glad to do the very
best they are capable of, and it is
hoped parents will be consider
ate in all matters of seeming bad
Judgment and in a very friendly
spirit talk the matter over with
the teacher in question or with
the principal. It will be wonder
full indeed if there are not places
where there will be dissatis fac
tion and possibly the dissatisfac-
ton may be justifiable. The
best way to get it Strengthened
out will be to make a direct ap-
peal to those in closest touch
with the conditions. To talk the
field over with ones neighbors
or in the presence of the child
rem will only aggravate Difficult
ties, while friendly counsel from
the parents will be most accept
able to the teachers in dealing
with the future interests of the
boys and girls in the schools.
We appeal to all interested per-
sons for their loyalty and sup
port in dealing with the COM
plex interests of the city's
young people. Visit us, visit
the schools, open the door and
walk in as you would in any
public place, make confidents of
teachers and pupils and watch
us grow under your encourage
ment and friendship.
