American doctors are not mathematical

it is not their business to make a report

Tho killing Of Mrs. Gore.

A beautiful young American woman,
Mrs. GORE, was killed in Paris, a few
days ago, in the apartment of Rus
sian barytone named RYDzEwsKI. She
had been studying music for some time
in Paris, was in moderate circumstances,
and although she had been divorced
from her husband, since her death
he has testified that she was woman
OF exemplary character.
RYDzEwsKI had been pursuing Mrs.
GORE with his devotion for some time,
and it would appear from letters writ
ten by the decedent to her aunt in this
country, that the attentions of the Rus
sian were not agreeable and that be-
cause OF his peculiar character Mrs.
GORE was in fear Of danger.
Little is known of the actual occur
renee, because only two human beings
were in the apartment when the fatal
shot was fired, which it Is conceded
came from revolver belonging to
the Russian. The ball entered the ex-
IRENE right of Mrs, CORES right eve,
cutting the ligaments behind the eve

side of the head
The Russian said that he was lvina

he knocked of the revolver. which
went of and the bullet struck Mrs. Corr
in the face.
1t Is stated that Mrs. GORE had gone
to the apart ment Of the singer in answer
to telegram which he had sent hel
that morning
The idea OF suicide, Of course, is no,
for one moment tenable, and the onl,

On Monday last the State Depart

Power" and " Power" We" and I'VE"

TO The EDITOR or rHE SUS-Sir' | cannot per
ceivc any contradiction or confusion of meaning
In the various extracts from the Presidents recent
speeches quoted In your editorial Of this morning
entitled Who Has Idly suggested That the Power

In the Presidents speech OF Nov. % he evidently
refers to the power Of the Uple TO control Indus
trial combinations by Insisting the cnac tmen, OF
proper laws TO that effect.
Ia his previous speeches. from which you also
quote. he refers to the need Of such laws and that
power must be given probably through Consu
tutIoTal amendment. TO the National Government

these great enterprises"
In other words, when the President says We
have the power" he refers To the people OF Il c

which such power can be exercised that Is through

Better Than Aim Ony.

For some days past there has been on
trial in the City Court before Judge SEA-
BURY and jury an extraordinary action
brought by one JULIA REEL against a
business man, reputed to be wealthy,
named WARREN b SMITH. The plaintiff
first met the defendant in June last year,
and subsequently,, they travelled abroad
together. She sued to recover two in
stallments of life allowance Of $500 a
month which she claimed the defendant
had promised last January to pay her as
q compromise Of threatened suit for
breach of promise Of marriage.
She received thereafter 5000 a month
down to July. or 81 500 in all, when the
payment stopped, and she commenced
her action.
The plaintiff testified that she warned
the defendant that she would sue him for
breach of promise and that he replied
sDon't do that, JULIE, III take care OF
you; III allow you $500 month for life; "
and letter subsequently written by the
defendant was put in evidence. in which,
among other things, he wrote: shall
send you a cheque for $500 oil the LIST Of
February. and $500 on the LIST Of each
month afterwards.
IL this recovery can be sustained, il
would mean the recovery of an income
of $500 a year from Mr. SMITH, which,
as the plaintiff is young woman, might
according To the life tables, amount to
over 100000, a sum more ample than
any allowance of almony to an injured
wife.
1t would have been more economical
for Mr.. SMITH to marry his JULIE off,
hand and try TO get rid Of her afterward.
1t is evident that the relation between
the plaintiff and defendant had an il
legal inception, because it was against
good morals. Two questions Of law,
therefore, arise.
Does the character Of the relation make
any difference, provided the payment
was the result of a compromise? And
1t is argued that because the Appellate
Division of this department held that an
agreement to pay the debt Of another
had a good consideration when viewed
as a compromise of disputed claim,
therefore, an agreement to pay money
for forbearing to sue for breach of
promise can be enforced, no matter
what wasEthe basis OF the original rela-
ton between the parties.
Another question of law is: Does not
the first recovery become a bar to any
future action for subsequently accruing
installments?
The Imagination is dazzled at the
enormous vista Of possible and prurient
litigation which will be opened il this
judgment becomes the established law.

The Inter Ocean says the ordinary

The Inter Ocean says the ordinary
workingman in Evanston gets $3.50 a
day and it seems to resent Prof. CLARK s
plan as IL it meant reduction of wages
There is no danger that any great num-
Der Of persons will stick for more than
two weeks to any effort for saving. After
Christmas most of US feel poor and Writ
uous and determined to save some
thing or more next year. These resolu-
tons will be as false as dicers' oa,hs.
The American temperament is happy-go-
lucky; and few Of US think that anything
is too good for us. Most of us have to
live within our means, but here and there
is a financial genius who lives habitually
beyond them, eats the fat and drinks the
sweet and bids care and creditors go
hang. His recipe would be interesting.
1t is clear that the domestic servant,
help, maid or man. really saves more in
proportion than anybody else in the COM
munity. Say a maids wages are "a a
week. Clothes and little carfare are
about her only other necessary expenses.
And 1t is a great mistake to believe that
domestic service il not consistent with
extreme personal independence.
Prof. CIARK's theory is that, if you are
single. you can live in health and COM
fort on $500 year and lay up 500. We
wish he would try it for year. Expe-
rience is the best demonstration. Does
the professor shave himself? Did he
ever keep account Of his laundry bills
for year? Has he noticed the ravages
Of laundresses and laundry men? We
knew a philosopher who existed in this
town on more than twice the professors
allowance. He could shave himself, but
he had a weakness for clean linen. AT
the end of the year. said he mourn
fully. had but one shirt and a part
OF that was painfully visible to persons

these and other earnings from operation,
gross earnings amounted to 81 III 754 200,
or s. 1870 per mile Of line, and operating
expenses to 81. 100, l37, i05, or S. 845 per mile
Of line. showing that net earnings were
$6O5 8l6 1916, or s.. 09l per mile.
The net earnings Of the roads, il appears,
were s5l 1876 ,i2l greater than those which

How to Live on $500 a Year.

The plunge Of Prof. J. SCOTT CLARK
Of the Northwestern University into po-
litcal economy has made a pleasing
splash in Illinois. Reporters and Stats
ticians are pushing his front-door bell
early and often. You say a single
man or woman can live comfortably
on 500 a year, professor Will you
kindly send 'itemized bll?' Then pro-
fessor rubs his eyeglasses and looks
weary. Cook county professors are
chartered libertines in the matter of
talk. Personally we should never think
OF examining poet in the table Of
logarithms. But Chicago rather likes to
poster professors. Prof. CLARK gives
this list of single mans expenses
for year:
Board and lodging. at 81 . week ............. Slo4
Clothing lone suit, two pairs OF trousers. over.
coat and sundHes) Observation-Disclosures, IS
Laundry. cariare and other sundries, .......,, 81
TOTAL. $500
In this part Of the world folks don't
expect to find cheap board and lodging
except in a poorhouse, Jail or similar
institution. In expensive Evanston,
as Prof. CLARK calls it, happier condi-
tiOns prevail. Many students club to-
gether for their board, and their food
costs between 81 and 81 so per head each
week. and yet they have all-devour-
ing appetites that have driven thousands
OF clearinghouse keepers to despair
and bankruptcy. When two or more
Evanston students room together, each
! pays about so cents a week Yet Evans
ton is called expensive" Probably il
will be so before long. Millions Of saving
souls will settle there, Prof. CLARK be-
lieves that Chicago in ahead of Evans
ton as a saving centre; and that Chi
cago bachelors can live on $500 and Law
up whatever they earn in excess Of that
amount. Still, he is afraid that should
all the young men in Chicago commence
living on that schedule tomorrow, two
thirds Of the saloons and the vaudeville
shows would be closed within the week. "
/ This shows us the bad side of economy
Much as we may commend frugality,
can we wish to throw all those variety
people and that great host Of barkeepers
out of work?
How is it with the unmarried working
girl? The professor is little doubtful.
He thinks that her clothes would cost
$50 to SIS year. But her expenditures
for unnecessities will be less than the
young mans and she doesn't eat as
much.
