DOCTORS AND CHARITY.
What the Medical Profess Ion Owes to
the Benevolent Institutions of
Our Country.

Human want and misery is not to be
altogether attributed to ignorance in
the ordinary educational sense, nor al
together to economic conditions, but
more largely to the ma1ign effects OF
hereditary physical faint and unsani-
tary surroundings, says American
Medicine. All modern communities
possess organizations of the charita-
bly, inclined, and to the efforts of such
benevolent persons the medical pro-
fession is chiefly indebted for the
founding and support of the many An
situations through which physicians
exercise their functions among the
poor. 1t remains for the profession to
enter into this work in a more syste-
matte way. Every city, county and
state medical society should have a
standing committee of its most public
spirited members, whose particular
business 1t should be to cooperate ac-
lively with the organized charities in
the capacity of an advisory board. BY
such a system much may be done in
the way of preventing mistakes and
of developing the form of preventive
charity which will seek to ameliorate
suffering by the reduction of PERM.
cious conditions. The splendid work
of intirmaries, dispensaries and hospi-
tails in placing curative medicine at
the disposal of the diseased poor, needs
to be supplemented by bringing the
science of preventive medicine into
harmonious action with that form of
charity which looks to the lessening
of social evils along the lines of per.
sonal and public sanitation.

TO BUILD THEATER FOR SON.
Thomas +. Walsh, the Colorado MIL
Lionadre, to Develop the Dra-
matte TaIe.nt of His Boy.

Thomas 4. Walsh. the Colorado
millionaire, is building private the
alter for the purpose of developing
the dramatic talent of his young son,
Vincent, who, at the age of IL years,
has manifested a wonderful talent
for the tragic muse. The theater is
located over the stable, and near his
handsome Massachusetts, avenue res
idence, and is to be fully equipped
with scenery and all necessary stage
setting, for the arrangement and
making of which Mr.. Walsh has en-
gagged the best of New York talent.
Mr.. Walsh has one of the finest pri-
vate stables in Washington now, and
there will be a private entrance for
the guests who attend the juvenile
performances of young Walsh and
his boy friends.
From earliest childhood Mr.. Walsh's
son has shown a love of the theatri-
cal, and his parties for his young
friends at various Washington the
aters last winter were numerous
several of which were attended by
the presidents children. For sew
eral years past he has been under the
best eiocutionists of the country, and
will this winter have special coaching
for the various plays which he ano
his young friends are to produce
Young Walsh is a sturdy, whole
some lad, with lot of common sense,
generous and thoughtful for his
friends. The presidents children are
his most intimate acquaintances, and
will doubtless participate in his per
formances, or at least be frequent
spectators.

PLAN A COSTLY CHURCH.
Catholics Would Build n Home for
Holy Sect I'm New York CITY to
Cost $4,000, 900.

Catholic clergymen are advocating
the building in New York city of the
largest and most magnificent house
of worship in the world, to cost
$20,000,000. Prominent priests claim
to believe that within the next few
years the holy see may be moved
from Rome to New York. The posi-
bility of such a change is offered as
an argument in favor of building a
great church.
The plans for the church were
drawn by Rev. Father Bouillon, canon
of the Catholic cathedral at Ottawa,
Ont. He is at present a guest of the
Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, in
Brooklyn. The plans contemplate an
edifice more beautiful than the ia
nous st. Sophia, of Constantinople,
and more spacious than st. Peters.
Father Lettelier, of the Church of st.
John the Baptist, and Father Beau
let, of the Dominican church, are
pushing the plans.
The style of architecture proposed
is modern Roman, with all the sub
stantial effects possible, but in the
rise to the dome the light and airy
appearance of Byzantine style is Sc
cured. In shape the plans provide
for a cruciform structure $50 feet
long and $50 feet across the tran
septs. The height is $50 feet from
the pavement to the tip of the cross
surrounding the ball on the dome
The ball is large enough to contain
30 persons.

Marries Couple on Train.

Lloyd Roberts and Miss Blanche
Gillian, of Pleasant Hill, Ill.,, were
married the other day on the Chicago
ds Alton passenger train which runs
between Mexico, Mo-, and Blooming
ton, Ill. They had gone from Pike
to Green county to marry, but had
taken out license in the former
county before departing. They dis
covered that they would have to re-
turn to the county where the license
was issued if they would make the
marriage legal; so, after the train
passed into Pike, they had Rev. Will
liam Orr perform the ceremony while
the train was speeding ON its way to
Mexico.

POLICE USE AN AUTOMOBILE.
New system IL Adopted In Paris for
Regulating Reckless
ChauffeurN.

The energetic project of police, M.
Lepine, has added yet another cate
CORY to the long list already existing
of police officials. The new Office is
the agent chauffeur, and Sergt. Nate
tet is the first Paris policeman provid-
ed with an automobile. He watches
other automobilists, and gives chase
to anyone driving at an excessive rate
of speed. He is not likely to be re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the auto
MODELLING world, but foot passengers
hail his advent with gratitude.
A free public school for chautleurs
has been organized to teach all
branches, giving graduates regu'
lar degree and recognizing them as
fully capable of handling automobiles,
with special prizes for pupils show
ing the greatest progress. The course
of study is as follows: Electric en-
ergy, the traction alcoholic industry,
gas and petroleum, motors, geometry
applied mechanics, industrial drawing
and the general mechanics of con.
struction.
