TIE MTLLTONTH CHANCE.

If ANYBODY should venture TO censure Dr- u
Lenox Curtis for having administered cocaine
TO boy in operation for adenoidS anu
thereby having inadvertently caused the pa
tfent's death he would in doing proclaim his
own folly The operation which Dr. curtis per
formed is one of the simplest and commonest III
surgery and the procedure from start to nnlsh
is well established. The tragedy was due to the
p,iIlioptb cbance-namely the remote possbil-
itv that a mild administration Of cocaine in the
throat might induce an abnormal reaction. In
stead of discredting modern medical science or
proving the carelessness Of surgeons, the lad :
death demonstrates simply the wide range or
individual differences and the impossibility of
positively forecasting the effect Of any, drug or
article of diet upon any person
Although a commonplace 10 all physicians,
due weight is too seldom given by laymen To
this fact of idiosyncrasics. As result two
faIIacieS have spread There must be some one
thing. il is said. which is the true and sure
cure for particular disease and. again. any
doctor who gives patient medicine thAt does
not cure doesn't know his business. Many
silly schools of medicine have been founded,
many useless concoctions have been patented
and many regulations have been ruined because
of these superstiti0ns We even hear some
crankS condeInning all medical science as bosh
because of its failure 10 discover specifics ana 10
succeed with every individual case.
If anybody wants To be convinced that all
men are not created equal. even on the same
stock PLAN let him inform himself how differ
emily various individuals react to different
things Some persons are thrown into hyS-
terics by the odor of lilies; some are made vio-
lently III by the taste of fish; some faint away
at the smell of rose: some develop an erup-
ton on the skin from eating Strawberries: some

snakes and are apparently unharmed by the
diet: some suffer violent indigestion from drink
ing pure milk: some contract a dangerous fever
and deafness from the smallest possible dose
of duinine: some are literally stunned by the
sound of certain tones of moderate lOudness-
These are only a small fraction of well known
idiosyncrasies Nobody can believe them with

Mr.. WINTERS TESTIMONY.

So fully has the subject of diminishing the
crush at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn
Bridge been discussed that it long ago became
probable that no new suggestion of value could
be offered The proposition which Mr.. Wins
made in the course of the Public Service inquiry
on Thursday and which Mr.. Winter pronounced
''the best solution is far from novel. No other
plan has received such hearty approval as that
which aims to deprive the Park Row station of
the character of u terminal and TO scatter the
traffic which is now concentrated at that point
The most serious differences of opinion which
have been developed thus far have related to
the best manner of executing this general pol
lev For the road which shall connect the three
bridges and facilitate a circulation of trains
both an elevated structure and a subway have
been theoretically advocated, and before it went
out of existence the late Rapid Transit Commits
sion committed the city pretty decisiyely to the
second of these methods.
In the course of Thursdays hearing Mr.. Wins
asked the president of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company what he thought of loops running
from Park Row to Delaney street and to West
street. Mr.. Winter gave the projects hearty ap-
proval and could not see any objection to them.
1t does not clearly appear from the current re-
ports however, whether not Mr.. WINS and
Mr. Winter perfectly understood each other in
regard to the level of the proposed tracks. Pub
tic sentiment has always been strongly arrayed
against the construction of an elevated road
through Chambers street. and il Is hardly prob
able that Mr. Twins intended to suggest anything
of the sort. On the other hand, the feasibility
OF bringing bridge trains down to the grade of
subway has frequently been questioned. The
engineering difficulties which would beset the
task might not be equally formidable for lines
leading to the Williamsburg Bridge, but If Mr..
Winter is convinced that they are not nsuper-
able in either case the fact is extremely inter
esting Would it not be wise to dlspel any pos
sible uncertainty on this point at the next
venient opportunity?
Mr. Winters statement in regard to the finan-
cial administration of the company whose pres
dpnt he i'"s been for the last five years cannot
fail to produce highly favorable impression.
i.is emphatic avowal that chance has been
afforded for private enrichment at the expense
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company must
be taken at its face value. The time will prob
ably never come when Mr.. Winter and his asso-
ciates will entirely escape criticism That
would be too much to expect for any group of
men holding similar places, but the policy of
putting the properties of the Rapid Transit
Company IN such state eventually to en-

opens today. The schedule calls for
154 games for7each team.
The race this year promises to be
even closer than. the last years battle
when Columbus did not clinch the
pennant until the seventh game from
the end of the season. Milwaukee
Minneapolis, Toledo and Kansas CITY
were possibilities after the season was
we'll started The Blues were in third
place June when Toledo was leading
the league; Columbus was second and
Milwaukee was third however,
slump at Kansas City and Toledo ana
a reversal in the Milwaukee and Min
neapOliS teams shook up the STANDINGS
and the teams finished in this order:
CoIum bus, Milwaukee, Minneapolis,
Toledo, Kansas City, Louisville, ST.
Paul and Indiana polls.
The clubs have been working TINS
winter to strengthen themselves for
this years games and it is matter OF
guesswork as to how they will finish.
Columbus has won the pennant the
last two years but it seems hardly
possible I0aI ClyIneF Cdil repeal Ills

does Toledo The Blues are picked
for first division honors by practically
all of the experts around the circuit,
These four teams seem destined to
make up the left side of the stand
ings.
