DOCTORS FEES.

In deciding the case of Dr. M. P. Morrell of St. Louis, against pr. J. J Lawrence of New York, Judge Ryan. of the former city, rules that the wealth of the patient must not be considered in making out the bill. "T-he char acter of the service, the seriousness rt the complaint, the skill and time re- quired, the result. reached" may all be considered; not the patients pocket book
 The case was one which involved travelling and a dedicate surgical oper- ation. The bill rendered was $30,000, and the jury allowed s12,0OO, but Judge Ryan set aside the verdict as excessive. A high Michigan court had a few months earlier announced in a similar decision that a doctor had no right to charge a rich patient more, simply be- cause he was rich, than poor one.
 This may be quite true as a leg Il principle. Yet physicians and patients alike habitually disregard it. A wealthy man whose child is saved from deaJn by some marvel of medical skill grate- fully shuts his eyes when he writes the doctors check. It is we'll that he does SO. For the physician who takes Il fee of $1.000 or more in one case will exercise the same exceptional skill for a poor patient and make no charge whatever. And it is the large fees of

the instance of German professor who was a superintendent of leading mine, each man was allowed to use any means that he might devise to stimulate his grasshopper. The professor was so, full of his scheme to scientifically capture the S1,000 pool-for there were ten en- tries-that he communicated it to a young assayer who was not a grass hopper plunger. The professor had experimented and ascertained that q grasshoper that was touched with d feather dipped in a weak solution of aqua amonia would jump for his life. The young man also experimented, and as a result he filled a bottle of the same size and appearance with cyanide of potassium and managed to substi- tute it for the other in the professor s laboratory. The next day, when the professor, after much boasting about his scientific attainments, dipped a feather in the substituted bottle and touched his insect with it, the grass hopper rolled over as dead as a mack rel. amid the roars of the crowd. Mae kay's hopper won the big pool, and two widows, whose husbands had been killed in the Yellow Jacket mine, re- ceived gift of $500 each from an un- known source.

WON A eRAssHoPPER RACE.
John w. Mackay Played Sharp Trick
 On the Learned Professor.

John w. Mackay was an early riser, a hard worker, and, although exceed- ingly hospitable, was himself abstem- ious, and could seldom be induced 10 play cards for money, and then only for nominal stakes. The only game that seemed to attract him was the grass hopper races,' with which the mining superintendents on the Comstock be- guiled a portion of the noon hour while waiting for luncheon at the Savage company hoisting house. Boys caught grasshoppers and sold them to the players at 25 and 50 cents each. Each player had fixed stake, ranging from s1 to s2O in the pool, and the man whose hopper made the longest jump captured the pool. On the day before Christmas it was agreed to celebrate that holiday with a pool, the stakes in which were S100 for each player.

IRON KING vs. PHOENIX
Fire Will Not Interfere With Game at
 Granite DelIs.

The bad news was received here yes- terday, that the Granite Dells summer resort few miles from Prescott was destroyed the day before by fire, about 2 o'clock in the morning, and that the proprietor, Ed Shumate, was quite badly burned about the face and hands. Both himself and family narrowly es- capped cremation. Mrs. Shumate first saw the flames and aroused her hus- band. He sent Mrs. Shumate to rouse the children while he investigated the fire which is thought to have started by the explosion of an acetyline gas plant. The fire had gained such head way that it could not be extinguished and nearly everything in the way of a building at the Dells was completely destroyed. The members of the fam fly were able to save only a few of their personal effects.
 But the baseball grounds did not burn up and the match game of ball between the Phoenix and Iron King teams will be played there tomorrow as heretofore advertised. The Phoenix team will go up on the Sunday mora ing train and it is believed a number of rooters will accompany them. Phoe- nix got the short end of the last game played on the same grounds with the same team, but it proposes to do things differently this time.
