THE MEDICAL REFEREE.

Il do not know that | wish to make an
attack on this office, but it has seemed
to me at times that he is somewhat of Il

This shows misconception of the posi-
toin of the Medical Referee He is mere

any very extensive knowledge of medicine
1t is made his business to find pretexts
for rejecting 80 per cent of the reflections
Claims must be rejected on either legal
or medical grounds. When the legal re
quirements are so simple and plain as so
days service and an honorable discharge
it is very hard for the Chief of the Law
Division 10 find any pretext for rejection,
though he has exhausted himself in this
direction. The burden therefore falls
upon the Medical Referee, and he must
earn his $4,000 year by bullyragging and
Safeguarding incomparably better physi-

amined the claimants and know their con-
dition by actual inspection.

MAJ. o. L. PRUDEN, who died at Gar
field Hospital, this city, last Friday, was
4 conirade known and liked all over the
country. He was born in Dover, y. H.,
in 1872, and enlisted in the 18th n. j. But
he was SO fine penman that he never got
further than Alexandria, where he was
taken oslt Of the ranks and set to work
in the Judge-Advocate-G Office.
and kept there until President Grant took
him into the White House as Executive
Clerk. He remained in that responsible pc,
sitiOn until President Hayes promoted him
to Assistant Secretary to the President,
which office he held under Presidents Car
field, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Nc.
kinley and Roosevelt. President Mckin-
ley appointed him Paymaster in the army.
but he resigned this TO return to his work
in the White House. Maj. Pruden was a
member of the Grand Army and OF the

GEN. WADE HAMPTON is dead, and
thus passes away one of the best repre-
sentatives of the old-time South Carolina
"chivalry. Hampton belonged to that
Oligarchy which dominated South Caro-
lima until Tillman rose from the despised
'pc' white trash to beard them and bluff
them all out. Hampton was a very large
land and slave-owner by inheritance
His fOrbears had always been thrifty
gatherers Of lands and slaves, and promi-
nent in the States Government. His
grandfather, of the same name, was Ma
Jor-General in the war of 1912, and great
expectations were entertained of him; but
he made a shameful failure Of the cam
paign in New York, and went back to the
work for which he was best fitted on his
plantation. Wade Hampton promptly
raised "a legion for the rebel army, and
fought pretty continuously from Bull Run
to Bentonville. Just how much military
talent ne had will never be known. He
had high opinion of it himself, and his
South Carolina claquers did n great deal.
but his reputation is not connected .yith
any achievement Of special merit Jeff
Davis made him a Lieutenant General,
and sent him back to South Carolina TO
rouse up everybody, and stop Sherman
but about the most important thing he did
was to surprise Kilpatrick's camp one
morning and shake up everybody very live
ly until Fitzpatrick walked up, mounted a
horse in his night-clothes and drove him
away. Hampton represented South Car
DINA in the Senate until Tillman ousted
him, but he did not make any particular
figure in that body except as the repre-
sentative of outworn ideas and n dead
past.

THE best and most immediate way of
fighting the Meat Trust is to cut down
each family's consumption of beef and
pork. If every family would at once cut
down its consumption Of these one-half,
the Trust would have to surrender inside
of month. Beef and pork are only ne
cessities TO those who imagine they are.
Perhaps we should all eat very much
more vegetables than we do, and mutton,
poultry, eggs, and fish are much more
healthful diet in many cases than the
heavier meats. The Turks, than whom
there are no finer specimens Of physical
manhood in the world, live largely upon
goat flesh. Beef and pork-eating is largely
habit with us, because cattle and hogs
could be easier raised in our new country
than other forms of meat.

JOHN BROWN OF KANSAS.

One of the very best of Capt. Eugene
F. Wares poems has been neglected by
the papers. 1t shows an unusual elevation
of thought and sentiment, and will strike
a responsive chord in all our readers
breasts. 1t is as follows:
States are not great
Except as men may make them:
Men are not great except they do anu dare.
But States like men,
Have destinies chat take them
That bear them on, not knowing why or
where.
The why repels
The philosophic searcher
The why and where all questionings defy,
Until we find,
Far back In youthful nurture,
Prophetic facts that constitute the why.
All merit comes
From Drawing the unequal:
All glory comes from daring to begin.
Fame loves the State
That reckless of the sequel
Fights long and WELL whether it lose or win.
Than in orr State
No Illustration apter
Is seen or found of faith and hope and will.
Take up her story:
Every leaf and chapter
Contains record that conveys a thrill.
And there is one
Whose faith, whose fight, whose failing,
Fame shall placard upon the walls Of time.
He dared begin
Despite the unavailing,
He dared begin, when failure was 4 crime.
When over Africa
Some future cycle
Shall sweep the lake-gemmed uplands with
its surge;
When, as with trumpet
OF ArchangeI Michael.
Culture shall bid cOlOred race emerge;
When busy cities
There. in considerations,
Shall CLEAN with spires and palaces and
domes,
With maFtS wherein
Is heard the noise OF nations:
With Summer groves surrounding stately
homes
There. future orators
To cultured freemen
Shall tell of valOr, aud recount with praise
Stories of Kansas
And of LacedaemOn-
Cradles of freedom, then OF ancient days
From boulevards
O'erlOOking both NyanZas,
The statured bronze shall glitter in the sun,
With rugged lettering:
John Brown of Kansas;
He Dared Begin;
He Lost.
But losing, wOn.'

biackmail, for not appearing where he

time one was born for keeping quiet. Yet
he figures in all the official publications as
the grandfather of the present King.

MISS P1nkley, and a quadroon girl

my head resting against the sofa back,
weak and Respondent. Suddenly down
the great winding staircase came a
young girl with shapely petite figure,
a pretty oval face and an olive COM
plexion, from which two almond shap-
ed eyes flashed at me and the group
about me with the quintessence of as
tcrishment. Running her words to-

asked:

"The gentleman's bleeding from a

"Who is he? What is he? Is he go

they were bullets.

Miss Jaqueline, stamping her foot.

for the pillows, and when they arrived

Suddenly the two guards attracted her

The men looked at each other fool
