Although, in accordance with the
simple life he led, Davitt before he
died directed that no ostentation or
public character should mark his obse-
quies. the unorganized demonstration
of sorrow and esteem that was wit
messed in Dublin was far more effective
than the most deliberately prepared
function, says the Catholic Standard
and Times. 1t was striking in the
highest degree, for the fact that behind
his coffin rode the highest representa-
tives of the law that he had done his
best to break down in Ireland, as we'll
as the leaders of the people who still
continue to keep up the selfsame fight.
The Lord Lieutenant was represented
in the cortege, and his respected and
sympathetic wife, Lady Aberdeen. had
been constant caller at the hospital
ere he died and a CONSIDER of his
stricken wife. The Lord Chancellor, the
highest legal functionary in Ireland.

Minneapolis is to have q new post
Office. Perhaps this Is a good reason
why she ought not to have new con-
gressmen. You can't expect to get toe
many new things at once. 1t is a good
guess that Uncle Loren" will be q
candidate for nomination and We
surnlse that the boys will know all
about how he got the money for the
new post office. 1t came just about the
right time for Minneapolis, and incl
dentally, for Uncle Loren"

decided character, either good or bad,
the face reflects it as surely as the

When Bryan was a congressman and

Mrs. Bryan, in early life a more than

Hiuuocr.tic Era In Medictne.

Richard Cole Newton declares that
even in the early days Of the Hippo
cratic era the art of surgery eschewed
I'LL forms of superstition and philosoph-
ical conjecture, attaining practical re-
suits by direct methods. At q very
early age the profession Of medicine
was fully recognized in Greece and in
many cases was generously rewarded.
We read of swindlers and charlatans
In those days too. Patent medicines
were also sold. The Hippocratic oath,
which for over twenty centuries has
remained practically unchanged, Is an
evidence of the sagacity, the sense Of
professional honor and responsibility
and the clear thinking of the Greeks.
Hipp0crates was born on the island of
Cos in AGO b. c. A large collection Of
writings, evidently the work Of many
physicians, whose Identity is unknown,
has been ascribed to the pen Of this
leader. The Greeks were wonderfully
brilliant in medical attachments. for
they studied nature and her methods
and shook themselves free from a
monumental load of Ignorance and su-
perstition. The synchronOus develop
ment of mind and body was the funda-
mental rule, both of health and edu-,
.ation.-Aledical Record.

Fatal Fight Follows,

Warsaw, July 30. = Two daring
train robberies We're committed in Rus

considerable loss Of life. A train from
the frontier station Herby, bound for
Czenstochowa, was carrying money re-
ceivcd from the customs house to the
branch of the Imperial bank, under
protection Of seven frontier guardsmen
General Zukat, chief of the frontier
guard; General Weitenrlng, chief Of
the customs service of Warsaw; Col
oncl HrzezlckI, ana Captain Laguma
were passengers.
Fifteen persons boarded the train ut
way station. They evidently Ind
been waiting for 1t, and made nm Mt
tack on the guardsmen, who were re-.
infowcd by the officers named. A reg
ular fight followed in which the two
generals. two officials, five soldiers and
one robber We're killed and Colonel
lirZcZicliinnd one robber wounded. The
robbers escaped, taking $1,000 and the
arms of those who had attempted to
defend the train against robbery.
The second robbery was committed
on the Wnrsaw-Nienna railway, six
miles from Warsaw. While the train
was under way unknownpersons pulled
The dnnger signal, causing 1t to stop.
Robbers who We're aboard jumped out
and seized the locomotive and de.
taehed the mail car from the train and
ran it down the line. They secured $37,-
SEQ of government money. The train
was without guard, and hence there
was no ii;hting and no casualties.
