Phenomenal Auto Sales.

The automobile shows just closed in
New York City smashed all previous rec
ords. There were 100000 enthusiastic
men and women spectators during the
week and the sales were phenomenal.
Three million dollars worth of automo-
biles were sold to individual buyers for
private use, and at least 100000 worth
more were sold to wholesalers and agents.
When the auto men left the shows, tired
to exhaustion by their seven days of exer-
ton, they were happier than ever before.
A canvass of the exhibitors showed that
every one of them had done an excellent
business during the week. Some have
scored heavier than others, and at least
three makers may be said to have closed
contracts for their entire output, and
they will now prepare for 1907 models.

Legal status of Medicine.

On the strength of dissenting opinion
by Justice Deuel. of the New York City
special sessions from the sentence Of 500
fine against an osteopath for practicing
medicine without license, the osteopath-
ic practitioners are preparing to fight for
recognition in the State of New York.
Justice Deuel. holds that doing nothing
but making a diagnosis and regulating
the diet is not "practicing medicine" He
says that what the osteopath did was
outside the healing art by means Of medic
cines, and consequently was not in VIE
lation OF the statutes. :.

has given forty acres on the slope of

convent school will be erected.
1t seems likely that the school board OF
Lexington, KY, will include in its Jan

Cassidy is heartily in favor of it and
again urges it in his excellent annual re-
port.
The fact that the overseers of Harvard

ance of intercollegiate football contests
by students of that university was
made known at Cambridge, the prohibi-
ton to remain in force until the commits
fec on the regulation of athletic sports
reports on changes in the game and that
report is approved by the overseers. All
depends on the degree of reformation
which the athletic committee effects. The
overseers regard the present game as bad
in every respect and say that the method
of formation absolutely encourages trick.
ery and foul play. They think the result
is bad for the morals as we'll as for the
body, and that the present intercollegiate
rules committee are not capable of prop
erly reforming the game because they are
so far committed to the present system.
The Board of Education of Orange, N.
J., is considering a proposition to install
a printing Office in the local high school,
at a cost of about $1,000, under the SUI
pervision of practical printer. It has
been stated that several citizens are will

Superintendent Cooley of the Chicago
schools has issued circular to his teach
ers directing a rigid enforcement of the
rule against corporal punishment of pu-
pills. Even parents are not to be al
lowed to punish their refractory children
within the school gro':Eds as they have
sometimes been encouraged to do.

and operators at Indianapolis adjourn

declared carried a motion by E. L.
Robbins, Pittsburg operator, that the
present wage scale be continued. Pat
rick Dolan, president of the Pennsyl-

district in favor Of the motion, which
carried it. Patrick Dolan voted Eyes"
for the Pennsylvania miners and the
vote was challenged. Dolan arose and
said
Il have authority to cast the vote
for the Pennsylvania miners, and I'M
til that authority is taken away from

of no." "throw him out" well take
the authority away from him."
Unless wiser counsel prevails after
the miners delegates go home and meet
the rank and file of their fellow work
ers, strike for 1912 per cent wage
increase, April l, is inevitable. Pres

Workers, speaking his last word at the
closing joint conference, put the mat

A strong argument against the dan

ers Of the country sign the agreement
or having none of them sign was made
by E. L. Robbins, a Pittsburg mine
owner. The operators have definitely
and finally rejected the demands for
an increase in wages. The miners i'm

of $6,5OOOOO by the assessment OF Sl
