The Chicago Medical Society has an

a wealthy patient who needed special

of twenty-five per cent. for referring

alleged that out Of 1000 physicians thus

In the interest of the ethics of no.

STERN CUT OFF.
Fishing Schooner Run Down by an
Ocean Tug.

Portland, Me.--The Boston fishing
schooner Vida Brigham, Capt. j. D.
Brigham was cut down Wednesday
night about $50, two and half miles
southwest OF Portland lightship, by the
ocean tug Walter A. Luckenbach OF
New York, Capt. John DAILY, and sank
at once.
John DAILY of Boston was at the
wheel, and II is supposed he was caught
in the wreckage and went down with
her
The schooner left Gloucester in the
morning for BoOthbay for bait. Those
on board were Capt. J. o. Brigham,
Barker and John Johnson of Orrs Isl.
and, John DAILY Of Boston, Daniel

ward Cook of Nova Scotia. and Angus
Muchann of Newfoundland.
The Brigham was making about l0
miles an hour. The night was clear
and the men were mostly asleep. Sud-
denly the tug came down on the port
side and struck the schooner a terrible
blow, cutting her stern clean on.
Capt Brigham ordered the boats
lowered. There was no time to be lost.
Three dories were lowered and the men
dropped into them just as the shock
of the collision found them. Some had
shoes, others had not, two or three
had coats, but the majority were not
half dressed.
Scarcely had the three dories got
clear of the schooner when she went
down, carrying with her 1t is believed,
John DAILY, who Capt. Brigham thinks
had wife and family in Boston.
1t was with great difficulty that the
dories were kept from being s@amped
when the schooner went down.
While Capt. Brigham holds that the
disaster was the fault OF those on
board the tug. he spoke in the highest
terms OF the cOnduct OF Capt. DAILY and
his crew. They did everything they
could for u.s." he said.
When the rescued men as far as pos
sible had been supplied with clothing.
the tug turned about and brought them
here.
The schooner Vida Brigham sailed
from Gloucester. but her home port
was Boston. Capt. Brigham owned one
half, and William j. Emerson and +.
A Rich of Boston onefourth each. She
was valued at $4,000 and was insured
for $4,000.
AS far as could be ascertained, the
tug was not seriously injured.

LARGE SHIPMENTS OF DEER AND
MOOSE FROM MAINE.

Promising outlook for November.
The hunting season thus far has
been unusually prolific. Hundreds OF
deer have already been shipped from
the Maine woods; and the general re-
port from this state is that not only
deer, but moose, are more plentiful
than for several seasons past. The Ban
gor and AroOstook region leads in the
shipment, but in almost every portion
of Names wilderness at all distant
from civilization the sportsman is sure
to bag his legal allotment of two deer.
November is an ideal month for
hunting, and the outlook promises an
extra heavy output. The Boston &
Maine General Passenger Department,
Boston, issues beautiful illustrated
booklet called Fishing and Hunting
which will be mailed to any address
upon receipt of two cents in stamps.
This booklet gives all requisite inform
alton regarding the fishing and hunt
ing region and how to get there. A
condensed booklet, giving the fish and
game laws OF Northern New England
md Canada will be mailed free.
