The sixth meeting of the National Society

The citys plan was the branch of the
subject emphasized by the lecturer Maps
of typical cities in America and Europe
We're exhibited by means of a stereopticon
This city, Mr.. Day said was exemplary
in as much as it combined both the radiaI
and gridron street system to perfection.
Tho advantage of the radial avenues was
pointed out and the inconvenience occa-
stoned by their omission demonstrated by
a plan of Minneapolis. That the national
capital was laid out after the scheme of
Paris, Mr.. Day declared, was a mistake,
for the streets In the French capital which
now create the similarity were built long
after L Eniant's plan was made. Sir Chris
topher Wrenn's plan for the restoration and
Improvement of London after the great fire.
which was disregaEded then and now Is
being carried out at an enormous cost, was
exhibited, and the thrifty manner In which
England conducts her municipal improve
ments, interestingly explained Pictures of
one of the English Garden Cities' were
shown and centrasted to our American fac
tory towns and city slums.
Views were shown of both Chicagos and
New York's splendid public recreation parks
and the advisabillty OF municipal fore
thought In early obtaining ground for such
purposes commended. The establishment of
civic centers, or. In other words. the group
ing OF public buildings in single section
OF city, was illustrated by the cor.struc-
land. Buffalo and San Francisco, and the
possibility of adapting public buildings with
good effect as radiai centers was Instanced
by the Capitol here and by examples in
other cities. Philadelphia's projects for
municipal improvement by cutting dag
onal avenue from the city hall to Fair
mount Park, by the purchase for park pur-
poses OF rural water ways and by the en-
banknlent and reclamation of the river,
were explained. and the possibilities within
the reach of municipalities In this diree-
ton illustrated
Mr.. Burnhaans plan for the summer capt.
tai of the Philippines was shown, with q
map OF Manila. The necessity of municipal
made patent, and the desirability of d good
first plan demonstrated Under the present
laws, MIR. Day said. such work once set In
motion was difficult to control, and, there
fore, the greatest care should be bestowed
upon Its inception. There are now in the
United States several thousand municipal
art societies and the outlook for the future
Is. the lecturer thought exceedingly fair.

were passed or forced TO IN advanced

pledge made 10 their Irish and Labor
allies IN parliament 1t Is announced
by H. l.. O'Connor that the next great
measure by Sir Henry Campbell Ban

alists are wholly satisfied with Ban
nerman's proposal. They regard II as
the fnal step toward absolute home
rule ana recognize that the Liberal
leaders have gone TO the farthest point
of legislation acceptable 10 the English
people
IL Is recognized that the house OF
lords will reject the Irish bill. King
Edward is known TO favor its proyl-
sIons In a general way. and therefore
his influence may be counted with Ban.

net members. The house OF lords will
not surrender on this Irish legislation.

ture, one Of the Liberal leaders said.
The new Irish bill Will be sent TO the
lords early next spring It will have
the united support Of Liberals. Labor
men. Natlonalsis and Irish Conserva-
tives. II will give TO constituencies IN
ireland rights similar 10 those now en-
joyed in England by county and city
governments. When the lords throw II
out. as they will then an appeal will be
made TO the people, and the new par
Lament Will again pass this measure
The house Of lords will then accept the
command Of the people. but probably
ia any event the authority Of the lords

Medical Journalism.

The medical editor of one Of the
New York dailies used often to say
that medical journalism was played
out. for a journal published only once
a week or once a month could never
compete with the daily papers; at
best it could only republish in more
elaborate II less sensational style what
the lay press had printed days before.
In illustration Of this view may be
mentioned a tremendous beat" scored
recently by New York daily. This
enterprising iourna published an in.
terestinG and circumstantial account
of an operation for renal calculus. per
formed at one of the hospitals by a
well-known surgeon Of this city All
the details of the operation we're
graphically and as II appeared the
next day, quite accurately described
The point Of special interest in the ar
ticle was that the operation which II
described was not performed until
about y hours after the article had
been published. Medical Record.

This can be in some degree obviated
by laying card or some other object
