to the girl students that modern skill
could cope with the ailment of the
moaning figure there. 1t was a mo-
ment when there inevitably arose in
the mind of the onlooker certain cut
and dried aphorisms regarding the
right and proper place for women, most
of them in the abstract tending to show
that her place is necessarily and for
ever where she happens to find herself
in the beginning, but all setting down
very clearly the conclusion that never
can she be more than a gentle allevi-
ator of the worlds woes, a comforter
of the distressed, and smoother of
troubled pillows. With the scene in the
operating room before the view such
ideas seemed very much out of date.
From the self-reliant looking woman
physician who was the central figure
in the scene to the girl student at the
top of the tier of watchers, there was
no one present who showed any sign of
hesitation or nervousness.
Yet there was not a woman present
of the masculine type of which so
many have a horror. The camera has
faithfully reproduced the scene. A
study of the faces will show that the

prevail of the action of the managers of
the hospital particularly and of the adj
mission of women to the medical profess
sion generally
Ranging themselves in line, these gal
liant gentlemen aSsailed the young ladies
as they passed out with insolent and Of
fenS1ve language, and then followed them
into the street, where the whole gang
with the f1uency of long practice, joined
in insulting them. 1t was an action which
deprived every man in the crowd of all
claim to the title of gentleman. If these
women had given gross offense, if they
had INDUCED in any unwomanly behavioss
if they had intruded themselves in the
hospital in violation of the rules. even
then there would have been no excuse for
such infamous conduct as this on the
part of the students. But these ladies had
absolute right there; they were admitted
by precisely the same authority that adj.
mits men, and, more than this, it was
right that they should accept the privi-
lege offered them il they wished to do so.
Subsequently there appeared as COM
munication to the same paper the fol-
lowing:
When the ladies entered the amphithea-
ter they were greeted by yells, Kisses,
caterwaulings. mock applause, offensive
remarks upon personal appearance, etc.
During the last hour missiles of
paper, tinfoil. tobacco guilds. ETC., were
thrown upon the ladies. while some of
these men CD defiled the desks of the
ladies near them with tobacco juice

they maintained their position as scientific
students by a quiet and modest demean-

but In reality the progress has been
painfully slow and laborious. The
women have fought their way upward
in the medical profession, meeting all
opposition firmly and bravely, and
mounting, step by step, until today
they have their own college, their own
clinics, their own examinations, their
own degrees and their own sphere Of

Certainly the man who goes a-Sol-

pay. Ordinarily he gets it, Some
times, for various reasons, he waits.
One of the Oldest of these various rea-
sons was advanced on the recent ar
rival in Manila of the United States
transport Sumner.
And from the consequent question
ings developed the fact that Uncle Sam
had been doing a little job of washing
and ironing money, and not till the
wash was dry could the creditors get
their pay. The why of it was this:
When the good ship Sumner, drawing
clear of the Folsom street dock in San
Francisco, and heading out past the
| Preside and the Faralone islands
had been on her way not longer than
it takes from 10 o'clock to tiffin time
the discovery was made by certain of
the favored passengers that money was
aboard. The Sumner was veritable
treasure ship, carrying paper to the
value of $550,000 stamped with the
promise of the government of the
United States.
Now, as everybody knows, such a
sum of ready cash as this is not to be
carelessly handled or lightly consid-
cred. 1t won't do to take fortune of
this magnitude and stow it away In
a steamer trunk under the bunk and
it isn't "the regulations even to put
it in the little safe in the quartermas-

Such place was found for the Sum-

was in denominations of ones, twos,
tens and twenties, had been neatly
bound up in appropriately sized pack
ages and the whole collection placed
in a large wooden box, iron bound and
lined with tarred paper Next, the
box had been taken aboard.

The captain argued it would be good
thing to keep the bills in dry place.
Next, he argued that the powder maya

there were Belgian locomotives which

contracts for unnecessary machinery were
made before the company failed, but
these, Mr.. Colne said, were abrogated, SO
that the present supply of useless ma
chinery is not so great as the corrupt
officials of the old Panama company would
have had it.
There has been an impression that the
old Panama Canal company wasted large
sums of money in the purchase of use
less machinery. Rear Admiral Walker,
the president of the United States COM
mission, when asked about this at a hear
ing on the canal before a senate commit
tee, declared it to be his impression that
it was not SO much useless machinery
which had been purchased as a surplus
of useful machinery Doubtless the fall
ure of the old canal company had some
thing to do with the non-use of the sup
plies, but it is said by those acquainted
with the work upon the canal that it
would have been impossible to utilize at

General Crop Conditions.

The corn crop of the country is

frost, only an insignificant portion of
the entire belt area being exposed to

almost the entire crop will have had

Heavy rains have retarded cotton

one-tenth is in danger from frost. The

The cotton crop in Arkansas is
