This is Testimony From Every
where as Well as Providence.

Can this be so? Is II true7 Are the
facts as stated? These are questions
which every man and woman in Provi-
dence suffering the tortures OF backache
asks as they read the published accounts
in newspapers about medicines which
claim to cure H. Whatever the conclu-
sions arrived at they can't finch from
or dsprove the following. for Il took
place in Providence and the experience
Is that Of citizen.
Mrs James Kennedy Of Ss4 weybosset

Kidney pills in December 1895. took
a course Of the treatment. and having
obtained good results I recommended
the preparation through our Providence
newspapers first in the month OF Janu-

Ward.
1t was when the report OF the COM
mittee on finance came TO be considered
that there was anything like more than
normal life exhibited by the members
Mr.. Andrews. on behalf OF the commit
tee presented report showing that 81
bills contracted had been paid by the
auditing committee. amounting to $780,
6s6.62. Here was where the members be-
gan TO wax warm. Mr.. Waterman called
the attention OF the body to the fact
the one bill amounting to s10606 showed
many excessive charges and one item in
the bill, especially was too large. This
was the item for paper materials. He
declared that he would like an investiga-
tion OF the matter for the reason that
the firm presenting the bill did not deal
In that kind Of material and that charges
we're decidedly too extravagant
Several of the members took part in
the discussion, making the debate rather
spicy. Mr.. Gleason took occasion 10 de-
liver some rather pointed comments on
the customary habits OF the main agl-
tator OF the discussion, Mr.. Waterman
After some further exchanges OF par
llamentary courtesies the matter was
voted referred TO the executive commit
tee with power 10 act. This latter clause
seemed rather like a taunt TO Mr.. Water
man and he was on his feet again con-
ize the scope OF power intrusted TO the
executive body. when II gave the power
to act Hr. Wilson joind him In the
contention adding that such action was
not possible without a conference with
the committee on accounts.
Mr.. WATERMAN WON
Mr. Waterman won his point and the
final decision IN the malta vas that the
executive committee should report its
findings at the next general meeting
Then followed the nearing and the ac-
ceptatio OF the reports OF the several
other members. The reports were pre-
sented respectively by the following:
The committee on apportionment. Mr..
Tillotson. the committee on bylaws Mr.
Beagan: the committee on education OF
factory children. Mr. Farrell the com
mittee on high schools Mr. Wilson; the
committee on music. R. r. Walker; the
committee on school houses. Mr.. Cain;
the committee on relations 10 the city
council, Joseph Cunningham.
Mr.. wilson then called tho attention ~
the members TO the fact that the new
chemical laboratory ~ the Classical High
school was now completed and he also
recommended that the commercial course
az the English High school be limited
hereafter TO pupils OF Is years OF age or
over
Upon the motion OF Mr. Cain. when
that amount ~ business had been done.

THE COMMERCIAL INSTINCT.

San Antonio is the latest imam
Gus example of the modern COM
mercial instinct run mad. Even
the casual student of sociology is
aware that the virus of the COM
petitive principle in human social
life permeates the entire system OF
society; that no fraternity of trades
men nor professionals is immune
from the poison which feeds the
instinct of modern commercial ac-
tivity. Yet most people have en-
tertained-and rightly so-a higher
respect for the honor and integrity
of the fraternity of medicos than
most of the higher professions. The
safety and very perpetuity OF the
race depend largely upon the
absolute honesty OF the medical
doctors. 1t il a noble calling, or
pursuit, and so long as it is kept at
a standar of moral soundness that
forbids the suspicious of evil mott
yes, of malpractice, the profession
of the practice of medicine is Justly
entitled to the highest respect of
mankind.
But when it is debased-when its
members become so imbued with
the instinct of greed--so lost to
honor and pride that they will
enter into a covenant with a COM
munity of human cormorants to
entrap an entire commonwealth of
people, by the suppression of facts
relating to the existence in their
midst of one of the most dreaded
diseases humanity is accurse~. vi %
and subject thousands of their
fellOw-kind to the infection of this
disease simply for the sake of gain
ing few thousand dollars, the
moral sense of honorable people is
outraged too great for adequate ex-
preston Of their feelings-of their
utter loathing of the character of
the men guilty of this most heinous
of crimes.

Tampa, Fla Aug. George Hous-
ton, a negro hackman who was caught
by two policemen while assaulting
Annie Grooves, who is fourteen years
old, was TIE victim of a mob in this
city last night. Houston was being
taken in a carriage from the police sta
ton to the county Jail when the car
riage was surrounded by mob. The
negro Was put into another carriage
and driven TO the gun club grounds, a
lonely spot just outside the city limits,
where he was bound and submitted to
a nameless surgical operation, per-
formed by leading member of the
mob said to be physician. The mob
left the negro there, and some one re-
ported his whereabouts to the police,
who conveyed him to the colored hos
pital, where he was given surgical at
tention to prevent his bleeding to
death. The police have evidence that
Houston had been enticing the little
girl to his room for several months.
She is half-witted. The negroes are
considerably worked up over the affair
and are congregating in their section
of the city but no serious trouble is ap-
pretended. d
