NOT GOOD PATIENTS.
Doctors Are Hard to Manage, Says q
Trained Nurse.


81 suppose it is treason to my supe-
rior officer to say so, but doctors are
certainly not easy patients to man
age" remarked the trained nurse. "At
least, this has always been my expert.
ence, and most nurses, you will find,
agree with me in the matter. | have
recently been nursing a physician
through typhoid. and my experience
with him was typical of the cases of
the profession in general.
Doctors know altogether too much
for their own peace of mind, you see.
Each new symptom is recognized. and
if it is an unfavorable one, why, the
patients weakened condition usually
leads him to lay great stress upon 1t.
Then, since he has always been in
position to issue orders to the nurse,
he cannot easily bring himself to take
orders from her, and he is disposed to
criticise and take exception to treat
ment which the ordinary patient re-
ceiveS as a matter of course.
"But perhaps the most troublesome
thing of all is the mania which the
doctor has for taking his temperature.
If he has moderately high fever and
is allowed to use the thermometer az
often as he wishes he can fret and
worry over the result enough to send
his temperature up materially. More
than once rather than exasperate a
physician patient by a refusal to let
him have the thermometer and rather
at the same time than let him know
just how high his fey6 was / have
dropped the instrument just as ! was
In the act of handing it to him. OF
course l apologize for my carelessness
at such times, and the regret really
does not have to be all assumed, for l
am at the expense of buying myself a
new thermometer.
"At one time I had an inaccurate in
strument. which never registered high
enough, and / used to call it my doc
tors thermometer By a little dexter
ity l could substitute this for the one
I actually used myself, and the en-
couragingly low temperature it would
show would greatly please the patient"

1t is admitted that where the mind is
wholly devoted to one subject with talent
and perseverance. excellence will be at

to the exclusive treatment of chronic dis
eases, and his success in the most aggra-
waited cases is said to be extraordinary
Those who are afflicted with lingering dis
eases should not fail to see DR.. Brewer on his

REPORTS MAGNIFY DISASTER.
Mexican Earthquake Grows Worse as
 News Creeps In.

City of Mexico, April 1L-Owing to tho great difficulty in establishing communication with the cities situated in the region of the greatest devasta- tion wrought by the recent earthquake. details are coming slowly. Each suc- ceeding intelligence magnifies the ex- tent of the disaster.
 From the latest reports it is learned that the earth is now quiet in the region which was sorely afflicted, but the last shock occurred as late as noon to-day.
 In the list of known dead, which now totals fifty, and the injured, which ap- proximates 300, are the names of Mex jeans prominent in official and social life of the region. So far the names of no Americans or other foreigner has ap- peared in the meagre list of the dead and injured as sent to this city, al- though many residents of the area af- flicted being engaged in mining and agricultural pursuits. The country most damaged is a particularly rich territory.
 A remarkable escape from death was reported from Santa Julia to-day In that colony is the Salesciano college, a school for children. The building is a new structure and supposed to be earth quake proof When the big shock came Sunday night over 100 children were asleep in the dormitories. Thirty-five of these, together with the teachers of the institution, left the building before the second story and the roof fell in. When the terrified teachers counted their charges and found that seventy were missing they improyised rope ladders and ascended to where they be- lieved they would find the mangled bod ies of the missing pupils
 Their surprise and joy were un- bounded when they reached the highest point of the ruins and found the ter rified children clinging to beams and rafters. No one was injured. The room in falling, rested on the beams so that space was left over the place where the little ones had sought re- fuge. The children were safely convey ed to the ground. In Tixia seven bodies were taken from the ruins to-day and many injured persons were recovered. At Tixla eight dead and forty injured are reported; in Ayutla, nine dead and about fifty injured.

fc, the rest of the long train consisting of closed vans for the transport of grain, and one troop truck, which con- tained some prisoners and their guard.
 The prisoners, a ragged but by no means villainous looking lot, were chained together by the neck. But they were well treated for when they left the train on their way to the fort ress of Kutakia we saw them supplied with tea and coffee, and they were also allowed to smoke. They were so cheer ful that prison life had evidently few terrors for them. although the sen tences of all exceeded six months.
 Between Esld Cheir and Anon Rara Hissar, the junction with the Smyrna railway, by far the most interesting feature of the country is the cave dwellings. There are big townships of them, with accommodations for thou- sands of people. Some of the masses of rock have the appearance of having been dropped on the plain, while oth- CTS, sharp pointed, seem to have risen from below, and they are of every fam tastic shape conceivable.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-04-18

At fion Kara Hissar there is now, however, hotel, and an efficient guard would be obtainable, so that on a fu- ture occasion I shall hope to explore the dwellings themselves. There is one thing to be said about the Turk, be he brigand or soldier. If he once gives his word that he will take care of you, you are absolutely safe with him. But Kara Hissar, the black castle situate1 on the summit of an immense mass of black pinnacle shaped rocks, is in Itself most extraordinary place, and a day or two might first be well spent there, with of course a guard in attendance.
 Beyond the line enters the great plain of Konteh, and frequently to be seen were long strings of camel bring ing grain from the more distant parts of the stations. Though it means but little in comparison with the vast tracts of naturally fertile untitled ground, still it is satisfactory to learn that cultivation has doubled in the last two years, and that this year, so far as barley and maize are concerned. the harvest has been almost a record.

D. 4. R. CONGRESS.
Dedication of the Memorial Portico--
 Raising of Funds.

Washington, April 17. The features of to-day's proceedings of the Conti- mental Congress of the Daughter of the American Revolution, are the dedica- tion of the memorial portlco at the Memorial Continental hall and the collection of contributions to swell the Continental hall building fund. To- night the delegates were given a recep- tion at the library of congress.
 Practically the entire afternoon ses- sion was devoted to the announcements of the contributions to the fund by the various state chapters, Great interest was taken in the proceedings and when unusually large contributions were made the delegates cheered. Already the organization had accumulated d fund of $25O,OOO for this purpose and it is believed that with to-days contribu- tions there will be nearly enough to pay for the buildings.
 The National Society of the Children of the American Revolution, a kindred organization, which is also holding its annual convention here will make its annual pilgrimage to the tomb of Gerge Washington at Mt. Vernon to- morrow. Mrs, Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, national president, has requested many of the Daughters of the American Rev. olution to accompany the children on

MUST OPEN ICE BOOKS.
Justice Grants Petition of New York
 Attorney General.

New York, April 17,-Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum to-day handed down a decision granting the petition of the attorney general to examine all the books and records of the American Ice company including all contracts, stock lists and correspondence files. The justice says that in his opinion, the attorney general "has presented sufficient facts to entitle him to the in- spection,'
 The object of the present inspection is to replace bhe lost copies of the com- pany's records which disappeared mys- teriously from Attorney General May CTS office just before Mir Jackson sue ceeded him, and the results gleaned from the examination will be used in the suit that the attorney-general is pressing against the ice company for alleged violations of the antitrust laws
 Former Justice Clearwater of Kings ton, counsel for the defendant in his argument against the granting of the petition said that the action was nspir ed by two certain unnamed democratic politicians who had been caught in the fall of stock and paid losses to the amount of $210,O00.
 "Thec harge is a most serious one, and if established would undoubtedly be entitled to great weight upon the question of good faith in the appllca- tion, says the court But the affida wit discloses no facts whatever upon which judicial consideration may be based. The sources of affiants infor- nation are not disclosed, the grounds for asserting the attorney generals complicity with the so-called democrat ic politicians are not stated, and not solitary circumstance Is presented showing the attorney generals relation to or connection with the politicians The names of the latter persons are not disclosed, although 1t Is suggested in defendants brief that if desired they wll be secretly whispered in the ears of the court"

In Tixla the authorities have order ed the church to be closed as there is danger of its falling any moment. The people are not even allowed to pass the street on which it fronts.
 In Huamixtian the cathedral fell and the houses of Messrs. Sanchez and Fredico Savedra and the government offices and the official schools are in ruins; the rest of the houses are dam aged. saib kI
 At Techan and Tlapa, nearly all the houses fell in, but nobody was hurt.
 A careful survey of Mexico City shows that the damage sustained was heavier than at first supposed. In some instances buildings were shaken in the foundations that it has been necessary to prop them up.

 Dated at New Britain, Conn, this 11th day of April, 1907,
 P. CORBIN (L. s.)
 Witness: William H. Hart, Charles M. Jarvis.
 It is not generally known in New Britain that the directors of the Saw ings Bank of New Britain were dunn founded when they found that William F. Walker had absconded With large sum of money. The serious question was, Where was the fund to be ob- tained for tracing Walker and, if pos sible, bringing him to justice and also, if possible, recover some of the stolen < securities? President Corbin, on learn ing of the situation, immediately of fered to furnish from his own funds all the money that was needed for this purpose MT Corbin accompanied his offer with distinct understanding that Walker was to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In case any of the securities were recovered MT. Cor bin was to be reimbursed, but if Walk CT was not caught the bank need not reimburse him until such time as 1t was in shape to do this-when it had a surplus of S250,O0 in excess of all lia- bilities. President Corbin has already advanced the sum of $25,000 for the capture of Walker.
