Ethics of Consultations

The utility Of consultation has oe,f

The practitioner in difficult case ia

the true ethics of the profession admit
of no other alternative
from the patients standpoint this
Is true enough, and is as it should be
IN view of the necessity of preserving
confidence in the medical attendant
The consultants have, on the other
hand, every opportunity to differ in

and treatment should be suitably ad.

International Telephony.

Paris is the centre of an international
telephone wire net; its extreme ends
are London, Hamburg, Berlin, and dn
connection with the French-Italian
line about to be opened) Turin and
Milan. The Paris-Berlin line is the
longest. with about 625 miles of wire.
The Paris-Hamburg line is about the
same. The distance from Paris to
Turin, measured by an air line, is
about 375 miles, and that between
Paris and Milan about 47O miles.
But all these lines are eclipsed In
length by that between Paris and Col
ogne, not by the direct line, but by in
direct connection, often rendered nee
essary by breaks in the other service.
In such cases a person in Paris ,le-
string to speak to Cologne is connected
via Berlin. This roundabout way in.
creases the wire distance about 375
miles, making the total about 1000
miles.
The Cologne Gazette states that this
does not impair the dlstinctness of the
message, and no loss of time is noted
In using this increased distance.

Your Share of Money.

Have you $2S.66? If you have not
you are short your per capita share
of the money circulation of the United
States, and some one has what would
be coming to you if the money that is
in circulation We're equally divided.
This statement is made without reser-
vation, on the authority of the latest
report of the Treasury Department.
Another thing; you are entitled to
seven cents more than you We're one
year ago, according to this same re-
port, even though there has been al.
lowed for an increase of 10000 in the
population, for in that same time there
has been an increase of more than
$65,O0O,O 900 in the money in circulation.
So you see you are better off than you
were year ago-if you get your dues.
In fact, you are getting better off all
Of the time. What has happened since
1879? The population has increased
fifty-eight per cent, and the money in
circulation has increased 176 per cent,
and more than one-half Of that increase
In circulation has been in gold or IN
gold certifcates.-New York Herald.

NJ. Sage, of Baker City. on Sunday,
July 27. crossed two good sized lakes

northeast of Cornucopla, on hard
frozen ice.
Mr.. Sage, with party of friends,

passing the timber line the explorer

Of getting into this district, except to
trudge along on foot. which, to say
the least, is uphill business. One part
Of the road is so oncumbered with
fallen trees that it iS almost impossible
to get through. In order to get sup
plies to their claims, two prospectors
We're obliged to cut trail through this
tangle of fallen trees, and it was by
means of this trail that Mr.. Sage and
his friends were enabled to ascend the
mountains, until they finally discov-
cred the two frozen lakes referred to.
The lakes are near the summit on the
north side Of the mountain, and in or
der to reach them the party Travelled
over ice and snow for q distance of
Eve miles.
The bodies of water are small. One

is between 600 and 700 feet in diam
eter. They are well defined lakes. or
pools, however, covered with thick
coating of ice, clear as crystal and as
smooth as glass, which is so thick and
strong that the exploring party did not
hesitate to ride across on horseback.
Mr.. Sage says so far as he is able to
judge the ice on the lakes never melts,
because they are SO situated between
two tall peaks that the suns rays never
strikes them with sufficient power to
make any impression on the snow ard

ice is within days ride of Baker City

the opinion that from the lay of the
country other larger and more pictur-
esque lakes with perpetual ice will be
coyered.-Portland Oregonian.

AUTOS HURT ROAD HOUSES,

men of the Country Ronds.


There are dark days ahead for many
of the road houses on the principal
highways leading out from this city In
all directions, and according to the pro-
prietors, the trouble is due to the auto
mobiles largely
Road houses first came into being
when the highways were used by trav-
elers in stage coaches or on horseback.
Many Of the houses built at that Pc
riod are still standing and are we'll
known landmarks. When the railroads
came into existence some of the road
houses went out of business.
few years ago when cycling was a
craze prosperous times came for the
wayside inns. The old-time houses
were not able to accommodate all the
people who came their way and hun
dreds of new inns were erected. Then
cycling went out of fashion over night
and many innkeepers found expensive
establishments on their hands with no
patronage except that derived from
the driving public.
Road driving began to pick up year
Or so ago, and the road house proprie-
tors began to take roseate view of
the future as their receipts increased.
There was more money in one driver
than in several cyclists. But at this
turn of the tide of the hotel owners af.
fairs the automobiles began to whizz
and snort past their places.
The result has been to scare the road
driver away, the innlleepers say. Men
have either abandoned driving alto
gether or have sought the back roads
or highways, where they are free from
the annoyances of the automobiles.
Their patronage is lost to the hotel
keepers. The owners of the autos give
them no compensating patronage.
The proprietor OF one road house sat
ON the front veranda of his place the
other night having absolutely nothing
to do. For many years his house was
a popular resort in Queens County. In
the summer time it was always
thronged with visitors. In speaking of
the conditions that. lave overtaken

cling was all the go. When that died
out we missed the cyclists, but driving
picked up, and we could have made
out on what we got from the horse
men. But the automoblists are put
ting us out of business.
''They have driven the horsemen
from the roads, and they themselves
seldom stop within twenty miles of
their starting place. The cold fact is
that road house business is q thing of
the past.
My lease expires next year and
down comes my sign. 1t has been
hanging up there for three generations.
This house has great reputation. My

them, but there is no trade to cater to-"

The Kent Coroner opened an inquest
at the hospital at Shorncllffe camp on
the body Of William Foden, a private
in the North Staffordshire Militia. The
evidence showed that the deceased's
barrack room companions tossed him
in blanket and he fell on the floor,
sustaining severe injuries to his head,
and death resulting from choking while
unconscious. The Coroner said there
was no question as to the cause of
death, but it appeared that the de-
ceased's companions were engaged in a
pastime which was prohibited by the
rules governing the barrack room, and
therefore every one of them was doing
an illegal act and in consequence guilty

The Trouble at Hayti Promises to
 Grow Worse and Worse The Pro-
 yisional Government Established by
 Former President Boisrond Canal is
 Having Lots of Trouble.
 Port au Prince, Hayti, May H. Admiral Killick, commander of the Haytian feet has started for Cape Haytien with the naytlan warships CreIe \ Pieriot and Ioussaint Lou yerture, having declared himself in favor of General Firmin, the former minister Of Hayti 1t Paris, who is at the head of the revolutionary forces i'll the northern part Of the island
 The northern revolutionists have seized the custom houses of Cape Hay tien, Bort de Paix and Gonaiyes and are collecting duties. Protests against this action on the part of Gen eral E'irmin have been entered by the national bank and the diplomatic corps.
 4 severe engagement between the northern reyolutionists and the south ern forces, meaning the troops sfrom Port au Prince and the cities of it's vicinity, is expected to take place to- morrow or the day after.
 A steamer from Kingston, Jamaica, is expected here to-day or Thursday, bringing q number of Haytians who have been in exile Among them are NM. Fouchard and Seneque Pierre, two more candidates for the presidency in succession to General Sam.
 The French steamer Olinde Rodri- gues, on which General Sam embark ed yesterday before noon, being ac- companied to the landing place by the American, French and German minis ters. is still in the harbor of Port au Prince. She was to have sailed yes terday, but was detained by the French minister, M. Deprez. She will remain here until a foreign Warship reaches Port au Prince.
 The absence of foreign warship is causing great uneasiness in the for eign colony here.
 After the embarka ton of General Sam all the political prisoners were released from prison here and last night these, with groups of drunken soldiers, paraded the streets. From time to time shots were fired and it was feared that the plundering of stores and residences would follow.
 The provisional government consti- tuted by M. Boisrond Canal, former president, is attempting to control the situation. But General Saint Folk Colon, the district commander; Gen eral Kebreau, the chief of police, and NJ. Polynice, the communal magis- trate, are the only officials who ap- pear to be exercising authority. They formed corps of respectable citizens yesterday evening and succeeded in disarming most of the dangerous char acters. As a result the night was much quieter than it would otherwise have been.

THE HALF HOLIDAY
Benedict & Burnham to Start
 It June 2.
55 HOURS FOR WEEKS WORK

Employees Will Receive Pay for 60s
 But Must Work the Full Fifty-fiva
 Hours to Get It-The Employees of
 This Big Concern Were Given Nos
 tice of the Change To-Day.
 The long talked of and much de- sired Saturday half-holiday is about to become reality in Waterbury and i'll a short time it is thought that few if any concerns will run their plants more than fifty-hve hours per week the year round. It is welcomed al the more because it looks as if we were going to have it without any res duction in the present rate of wagess as is evidenced by the following nos tice directed to the employees of the Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Co, one of the largest brass works in the country:
 Commencing Monday, June 2, and for the months of June, July, August and September, 1902. we shall run our work as follows: Taking as q basis of time fifty-five hours per week, ten hours each day from Monday to Fri day inclusive, and five hours ons Sat- urday. The rate of pay will be the same for fifty-fiye hours full service rendered as it is now for the present number of hours. No time will be al- lowed for washing up, and the full time will not be allowed unless fifty- five hours of service is rendered. We hope that this voluntary act on the part of the company for the comfort and well-being of it's employees will be fully appreciated and that their service will be such as to warrant our action.
 BENEDICT & BURNHAAf MFG CO
 Employees will bear in mind that they will have to work full time in order to profit by this order. The reading of the notice is plain enough so that people who happen to be late or remain away from work for any. length of time, no matter how short, will not have much chance to kick if they receive pay only for the time they worked. 1t is thought that this rule will obtain in all the factories during the summer months and it may be observed on outside work. This would give us a general Saturday half-holiday in Waterbury during the months of June, July. August and September. The half holiday will be appreciated by everybody and while all may have to do a little hustling during the rest of the week there wili be considerable consolation in know ing that when the whistle blows at noon Saturday they will be through until Monday morning.
