Doctorine In Ireland.

A physician in the out of-the-way
corners of Ireland has many oppor-
tunities to laugh, though his amuse-
ment must be mingled with anxiety,
for his ignorant patients do strange
things. They have great faith in the
doctor, a superstitious faith in his
drugs and appliances, but they often
make nonsense of his orders. Mr..
Michael MacDonagh, in his Irish Life
and Character" gives some instances
of Irish simplicity in dealing with the
physician.
A dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for sick laborer, which h.
sent by the mans wife in small
box, bearing the direction: "The
whole to be taken Immediately"
On visiting the patient little later,
the doctor was surprised to find that
the pills had not helped him He
asked the mans wife If she had given
him the medicine.
81 did, DOCTOR" replied she, "but
maybe the lid hasn't come off yet. a"

ly, "but your husband is dying by
inches"
WELL" she said with an air OF
hopeful resignation, ivan good thing
is. me poor man is six feet tree in his
stockin' feet, so he'll lasht some time
yet"
An Irishman, who had sent for the
doctor for the first time in his life
watched with establishment while the
physician took his clinical thermome
ter from its case, slipped it under the
patients armpit, and told him to
keep 1t there second or two.
Mike lay still, almost afraid to
breathe, but when the doctor removed
the thermometer, he drew long
breath and exclaimed: "Ah. do fee

IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Whitaker Wright Testifies in
London & Globe Case.

London. jan 19.-There was con-
siderable crush in court and a buzz
of anticipation when Whitaker Wright,
the company promoter, on trial on the
charge of fraud, entered the witness
box today. The former financier was
composed and answered questions firm
ly. He first related the story of his life
III America and then told of the foun-
dation of the London & Globe corpora
tion, which he declared, was prosper
Gus until the end of 1899, after the
South African war had started when
matters became disastrous The wit
ness added that he assisted the COM
pany out of his private pocket, lending
it between $2000,0 900 and $2,500, 600 Pre-
Vious to this he had prepared a settle
ment of 81, SOC, 600 on his family, giving
$250,00 to each of his children, but one
day in 1899, the company's accountant
informed him that he must have ST.
500 600 or the company would be. obliged
to suspend. The witness said he sup
piled the money and, consequently, the
settlement on his family was never car
ried out.
Wright admitted that he only held
$500 shares of the London & Globe
corporation at the time of the crash
and said he tried to induce Lord Duff
the newspapers attacked him over Lord
Dufferins shoulders. The witness had
intimated to Lord Dufferin that the po-
sition of chairman of a speculative
company was not dignifed, but Lord
Dufferin replied that he was we'll sat
isfied and that he wished to retain the
position.

DARK FOR MARCEL.
Preliminary Hearing UnfavOr-
able to Bank Cashier.

Troy Kan, Jan. 19.-The preliminary
hearing of Cashier J. E. MARCEL of the
wrecked Higland bank came up today
before Justice Smith. MARCEL was rep
resented by Attorneys J. J. Baker and
c. w. Reeder of Troy and Atwood &
Hooper of Leavenworth. The state was
represented by County Attorney Brew
ster.
MARCEL sat in court smiling and un-
concerned. He was we'll dressed and
bore no appeaance of being prisoner
at the bar.
Two cases came up for hearing. The
first was the presentation to the court
Of two $4,000 notes in favor of the Bank
of Highland purported to be signed by
Hutt & Shonyo, mule dealers.
These gentlemen testified that they
had never signed such notes and that
both documents were rank forgeries
After dinner a note was introduced by
Attorney Brewster for $4,000 bearing
the signature of B. P. Williams made in
favor of the Bank of Highland This
was also shown to be a forgery, Mr..
Williams testifying that the signature
was not his and that he had at no time
signed such a note in favor of said
bank
Arguments bearing on the matter will
be made TO Justice Smith late this
afternoon. 1t is considered almost GER
tain that the decision of the justice will
be to bind MARCEL over to the district
court for a further hearing.

Governor Vardaman of Mississ-
ippi in Inaugural Address,
Declares Education Is Curse of
COlOred Race.
is WORSE EVERY YEAR
Asserts That Moral DeteriOra-
tiOn Is Continuous.
One Crime the Result of Desire
for Social Equality.

Jackson. Miss, Jan. 19.-In his in
auguraI address delivered today be
fore a Joint session of the Mississippi
legislature Governor James K. Varda-
man declared that the growing ten
dency of the negro to commit criminal
assault on white women is nothing
more or less than the manifestations of
the racial desire for social equality. In
strong terms he declared that educa-
tion is the curse of the negro race and
urged an amendment to the state con-
stitution that will place the distribu-
Gion of the common school funds sole
ly within the power of the legislature.
Continuing his discussion of the negro
question Governor Vardaman said:
LAS a race he is deteriorating moral
ly every day. Time has demonstrated
that he is more criminal as a free man
than as a slave, that he is increasing
in criminality with frightful rapidity,
being one-third more criminal in 1890
than he was in 1880.
1.-The startling facts revealed by the
census show that those who can read
and write are more criminal than the
illiterates which is true of no other
element of our population am ad-
Vised that the minimum illiteracy
among the negroes IS IOunQ IN New
England where 1t is PA per cent. The
maximum is found in the black belt
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Caro-
lima, where it is 65.7 per cent, and yet
the negro in New England is four and
one-half times more criminal, hundred
for hundred, than he is in the black
belt
In the south, Mississippi particularly.
! know he is growing worse every year.
You can scarcely pick up newspaper
whose pages are not blackened with the
account of an unmentiOnable crime COM
mitted by a negro brute, and this
crime. ] want to impress upon you, is
but the manifestation of the negro s
aspiration for social equality, encour-
aged largely by the character of free
levying tribute upon the white people to
maintain.
The better class of negroes is not
responsible for this terrible condition
nor for the criminal tendency of their
race. Nor do I wish to be understood
as censuring them for it. 1 am not
censuring anybody, nor am I inspired
by ill-will for the negro but 1 am sim
ply calling attention to a most unfor-
tunate and unendurab BILE condition of af-
fairs. What shall be done about it?
My own idea is that the character OF
the education for the negro ought to be
changed. If, after years of earnest eff
fort and the expenditure of fabulous
sums VI hIoiSS " euucdle MS nedQ, we
have only succeeded in making a Grim

fulness and efficiency as a laborer, wis
dom would suggest that we make an
other experiment and see if we cannot
improve him by educating his hand and
his heart There must be a moral sub
stratum upon which to build OF you
cannot make a desirable citizen"
The governor also declares that the
people Of the nation should rise up and
demand the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment.

PETER READY TO QUIT.
King of Sarvia Willing to Have
Successor Named.

Vienna, Jan. liking Peter of Ser
via, according to a report from Get
TIME Montenegro, published by the
Neues Weiner Journal, is prepared to
voluntarily renounce the throne and al
low the powers to nominate his sue
cessor.
The Prince of Montenegro is said to
have received a mandate from Russia
to clear UP the precarious situation in
Servia and King Peter is alleged to
have recognized the untenability of his
position and to be willing to abdicate.
His successor. it is added, will only be
permitted to ascend the throne con-
ditional on his agreeing to punish the
leaders of the conspiracy which result
ed in the assassination of King Alex
ander and Queen Draga, removing all
those who were directly or indirectly
concerned in the regicide.
The statement published by the Neus
Weiner Journal is not confirmed, but
all indications are that affairs in Servia
are steadily growing worse. and that
they are causing the greatest anxiety
in Russia and Austria. The Servian
consDirators are said to be openly
threatening to take revenge on Europe
by joining in the expected Macedonian
outbreak in the spring. The internal
condition of Servia is alarming. Out
side the towns life and property are
insecure. The roads are infested with
hriCapdS.

OVATION TO JOE.
Guild Hall Packed to Hear
Chamberlain Speak.

London, Jan. 19.-The Guild hall was
packed to suffocation today to hear
Joseph Chamberlain speak.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who was accom-
panied by his wife, received a great
ovation. He began by declaring that
the provincial centers of commerce of
the United Kingdom had been heard
from in regard to his tariff proposals,
but the views of the citizens of London
were not known He desired to ascer-
tain how the city men felt on the sub
ject of his scheme before the opening of
parliament but he regretted that ow-
ing to its non-political character the
meeting would not have the oppOrtuni-
ty for voting directly for or against
him.
Mr.. Chamberlain. who said he believed
the same arguments he used in the
provinces would appeal equally to i'm
perialistic London, then proceeded to
reiterate his well known fiscal views.
He pointed out that while London was
now the clearing house of the world,
he doubted if that position could be
maintained if the ancient fiscal super
stitions were to be upheld. Before it
was too late lesson should be learned
from the fate of Venice. Holland and
the Hanzeatic states, whose greatness
had vanished because they have no
productive and creative energy behind
them. London would no longer be the
worlds clearing house if Great Brit
aims present relations with her colon
les and the great neutral countries of
the world were not improved. His op-
ponents claimed that the recent board
of trade returns destroyed his cOnten-
tions, but he intended to base his fu-
ture arguments on those returns, as
they proved that the growth of foreign
expectations to the British colonies had
greatly exceeded the growth of expor-
tations from the motherland. The
position of Great Britain was deteriorat-
ing and though he anticipated no i'm
mediate catastrophe the situation call
ed loudly for some remedy. The les
sons of the past must be applied and
the framework of a new empire must
be built up under new conditions, by
adopting the protective policy adopted
by every civilized nation and creating
new bonds of union with the colonies.
Although no vote of confidence was
permitted. the extraordinary enthus-
iasm of the stock exchange who escort
ed Mr. Chamberlain's carriage to the
Guild hall the cheers which punctu-
ated his speech and the vociferous APP
plause at the close of his remarks must
/ have assured the former colonial secre-
tary that he had the full sympathy of
his audience.
