HEAR STORIES OF WEALTH.
Reports Made to San Juan Bautista
Mines Promoters

Promoters and stockholders of the San
Juan Bautista Mining Company TO the
number of 100 gathered around the ban
quet table at the New Willard last night
to hear about the mining ventures of the
company in Mexico and incidentally to
raise $4,000 to put in machinery and de-
velOp the property. To raise this money il
is proposed to sell 25,0O0 shares of the
stock at s. a share. which is said TO be
listed at 50 and salable at that figure in
the market.
After the dinner IL was stated by Off
GERS of the company that it owns about
500 acres of rich mining lands in Mexico
within fifty miles of the Greene mines,
at Cananea. The mine is the old Monte
yuma mine, in Sonora, Mexico, which was
worked by the native Indians. and the
Spaniards after them. from which it is
supposed some so, 100000 has been taken.
But il was shown that by the crude meth
DDS Of the past more ore was left in the
Stag heaps than is possessed by many
mines that are being worked at a profit
in these modern days.
Prof. Charles E. Ely. instructor in
chemistry at Gallaudet College, this city,
was present and gave the results Of his
assay of the ores taken both from the
Stag heads and from the mines and his
analysis showed that both were rich in

MEDICAL PRACTICE DEFINED.

\ New York woman who had been
prosecuted for practicing medicine il
legally and acquitted by a court,
brought suit for malicious prosecution
and lost. The last case is of general in
terest because it brought forth from a
well known judge a comprehensive def
milton of what constitutes the practice
of medicine. He said:
The practice of medicine is the ex-
ercise or performance Of any act, by or
through the use of any thing or mat
ter, or by things done, given or applied,
whether with or without the use OF
drugs or medicine, and whether with or
without fee therefor, by a person hold
ing himself or herself out as able to
cur diseases, with a view to relieve,
heal or cure, and having for its object
the prevention, healing. remedying,
cure or alienation Of disease"
This definition seems to cover the
ground thoroughly. The woman in
question is a masseuse. She advertised
that she could cure chronic and acute
diseases Of various character by mas
sag e treatments, for which she charged
50 each. Her arrest was instigated by
the New York County Medical society
but, as stated, she escaped conviction.
With the court opinion as a working
basis it should not be hard hereafter
in New York to prevent medical charla-
tans from imposing on the public. 1t is
to be hoped that the opinion will be
recognized as sound law in every state
of the Union.
It is the height of inhuman folly to
permit ignorant persons to hold them
selves out as curers of diseases, for
they always are able to find other ig-
norant people upon whom to prey In
the interest of the public health it is
necessary to protect the credulous sick
from the cOrmorants.

banks-and the same thing is true of
banks everywhere-have deposits in
New York Most of them pay taxes
on those balances in their own states.
It would obviously be unfair to tax
them in New York also. And just as
obviously, if New York insisted on tax
ing those balances they would be with
drawn in time to prevent it. Serious
consequences might result. There is
nothing to prevent the exception of
outside bank balances but with that
exception, the bin should certainly be
enacted into law.

TO CATCH DODGERS.

The Now York legislature is consid-
ering a bin under which the assess
ment of personal property wherever
found, whether the owner thereof is or
is not a legal resident of the state, viii
be made possible. AS justification for
the law it is pointed out that during
the month OF January 1900 persons,
assessed on personal property to the
amount of $751;. 600, 600, swore off just
sf76OOO,OOO of the sum. Most of the
swearing was done on the plea that the
afiant was a nonresident.
The contention is that those people
should bear their just proportion of
hundreds of rich men and women
establish, for taxing purposes. a
residence IN Rhode Island, New
Jersey, or some other nearby state,
although as a matter Of fact they
spend practically all of their time
in New York They avoid the payment
of taxes in the state in which they
claim residence. for the reason that the
assessor Is unable. when he comes
around, to find anything belonging TO
them.
"A wealthy resident of Rhode Island
can keep in the city of New York, "
said a legislator, "a mansion full of
Misunderstanding furnishings, sill
Yer. books and so on-and pay no taxes
at all thereon" The result is that the
individuals who can least afford to
bear the burden Of taxation, the men
who own small homes and a few sticks
OF furniture. must carry the load be-
cause they cannot conceal their prop
erty or claim residence in another
state.
There is very little objection to the
law in New York among people who
view the matter properly. The banks
and trust companies. however, have
made one suggestion that seems rea-
sonable enough. They say that bank
balances held by what may be called
legal non-residents, should be exempt
from the operation of the law. other
wise the deposits would be Withdrawn
just before the assessment period and
a financial stringency might result.

THE FORAKER AMENDMENT.

Senator Foraker has proposed an
amendment to the statehood bill which
should go far toward solving that vex-
atfous problem. The amendment pro-
.vides that within thirty days after the
passage Of the act the governors of
New Mexico and Arizona shall call cleo
tons for the purpose of submitting the
joint statehood question TO the people.
The voters of the two territories are re-
CURED to cast their ballots separately
and unless there is a majority in each
for joint statehood the union shall not
be consummated.
Advocates of joint statehood cannot
reasonably object to this measure. They
have said all along that they do not
want to force Arizona into a distasteful
union, it being generally understood
that New Mexico is perfectly willing to
be admitted under the joint plan. If
the amendment prevails the people
most interested will decide the question
for themselves. The solution viii be
well worth the expense that must be in
CURED to place it in operation
The result of the election can hardly
fail to be the rejection of the plan. The
consensus of opinion among those most
familiar with the situation is that Ari-
IONA will not consent to the amaIgama-
ton. Her citizens, according to the best
posted individuals, would rather stay
out of the Union Indefinitely than come
in with New Mexico as one state. They
would rather let New Mexico have indi-
vidual statehood, if the majority in con-
gress should desire to adopt that meth
cd of Furnishing Arizona.
If the joint statehood bill cannot be
defeated in the senate it is greatly to
be hoped that the Foraker amendment
will be incorporated in it. By all rules
Of fair play, the. citizens Of the terri
tories are entitled to a voice in the mat

closing THE sMooT CASE.

The announcement from Washington
that the Smoot case will be closed soon
will be welcome to everybody who has
the interests Of the state at heart, no
matter what the outcome Of the hear
ing may be. 1t is understood only a
few witnesses will be called on behalf
OF Senator Smoot in rebuttal Of the
evidence brought out in the recent
hearing, and that the committee will
present its report very promptly after
the close of the case.
Judging from The Herald's Wash
ington report, the final fate Of the
Utah senator will hinge largely upon
the question whether a majority of
the senate shall be allowed to decide
his status or whether a twO-thirds vote
shall be necessary as is usual in cases
OF expulsion. The opposition to SmOot
will argue that he took his seat under
protest so that the same majority
which permitted him to enter the SEN
ate is legally able to declare his seat
vacant: the senator's friends hold that
he cannot legally be thrown out with
less than a two-thirds vote, if at all;
and that no grounds have been shown
by theetestimOny which would justify
expulsion.
Between these two views there are a
number of senators who have taken no
radical grounds on the case but will
hesitate to exclude or expeI Smoot on
the evidence, believing it a dangerous
precedent to deny representation to a
state solely on evidence as to {, mans
beliefs when no charge is made against
his personal character. It is altogether
likely these conservatives will hold the
balance of power when the test vote
comes on the committees report; and
the final result is by no means GER
tain. The southern Democrats, partic-
ularly.- are likely to insist on following
the two-thirds rule because they are
strict constructionists almost to a man
and care more for the future effect of
their vote than they do for the imme-
date fate of SnoOt or the demands of
his opponents.
-whether he retains his seat or not
the hearing has been dragged out long
enough; it has wrought great injury
TO the state and it's interests, it has
furnished the excuse for a disastrous
internecine political war, and the
sooner IL is ended the better.

that she has had many successes there

There is a new actor In town, name
Dallas Wexford, home London, and his
face is well worth bringing across the
seas. It is PUPPY, fiaccid, and formless
in repose, a perfect void, and so 1t Is
a surprise to see it take on expressions
of uncommon violence. Mr.. Wexford
has been imported with the wholly and
exceedingly English company that per
forms Mr. Hopkinson." The play by
r. G.. Carton is farce, almost traV-
esty. for it makes unreasonable fun OF
British aristOcratic willingness, when
strapped, to marry plebeian wealth /
suppose it was written sattr1caiiy, and
am sure it is ibellously exaggeratlve-
Mr.. Wexford by himself is a short, fat
fellow. the veritable Punch cartoon
type of a young cockney tradesman.
and to look at him is to laugh He
assumes in the play to be a sudden
heir to a fabulous fortune, and he falls
into the plucking hands of a lordling.
So here we have what London calls a
bounder, and what New York calls a
grafter-the one DESTROYS of getting
into high society with his money, and
the other DESTROYS of taking him in for
his money. A hard-up duchess train
ing him for society matches him with
her niece.
There is little in the experiences of
Mr., Hopkinson" that would make d
reader laugh, unless q brighter nuInOr-
list than Mr.. Carton were to narrate
them; but with an actor grotesque TO
the limit of human possibility, carl
cature as extreme as ever was pic
tured. the part becomes continuous
scream. A point Of popularity IN
Hoppy is that his possession Of mill
lions Of guineas doesn't make him care
less of shillings; so he goes through
the very costly process OF Wooing with
vain protests a most unwilling spend
err: moreover, the betrothed girl dis
dams him and altogether his mobile
face is kept busy grimacing his emo
lions
James K. Hackett, the producer OF
the farce here, had to decide whether
| to substitute for HOppy's cockney
slang, as we'll az for that of the ducaI
| coterie, words misused similarly in our
Bowery and Fifth avenue. He chose
| TO leave the text, like the characters
and the company, undisturbed as
| shipped from London. Therefore, we
have to learn that ''bunkeydoodle" is
an equivalent for our ''skeedoo," and
/ there are many other enrichments for
our vocabulary In Mr.. Cartons lines
AS 'fMr Hopkinson" makes its appeal
| irresistibly to our smart society, how
ever, 1t is likely that slang of Bow
Bells as we'll as of Belgravia will now
| get into our smart set.
Critics who condemn things as they
are, and commend them as they are
not, frequently urge as an argument
for stock companies the foreign usage,
more especially in Germany, of casting
| important members for unimportant
