 Created and Became Standard.

New London, Conn, Aug. 3l-Rlch- ard Mansfield died at 6 50 o'clock Fri. day morning at his summer home, Seven Oaks" near this place The direct cause of MT. Mansfield's death was a liver disorder, complicated with nervous prostration, with which he had suffered. without improvement, for six months.
 Dr. A. s. Allen, who had been in attendance on the invalid since his arrival a few days ago from Saranac Lake, N. Y, said that death had not been unexpected. despite the fact that the actor had been reported as i'm. proving It was said he stood the journey from Saranac Lake very well, and had been up and about tke house since his return.
 A change for the worse set in about three days ago. and since then Mans, field had been confined to his room.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Tran.
 lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy with which the doctor hedges about his profession?
 Professional etiquette" occupies 4 prominent place in the curriculum of every medical school, and when strict. ly analysed professional etiquette" seems to mean doing what is best for the doctor, individually and col. lectively."
 Among the things that lis best for the doctor" is the writing of his pre-. scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping the public in ignorance not only of what it is taking for its ills, but fore. ing call upon the doctor each time a prescription is needed.
 In plain and unmistakable English the writing of prescriptions in Latin makes business for the doctors.
 Let us say that you have the ague. You had it last year and the year be- fore. Each time you have visited the doctor and he has prescribed for you in Latin. You have never known
  what he has given you for the disease, and so each time you are forced to go to him again and give him an oppor. tunity to repeat his prescription-in Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
 If you ask the doctor why he uses Latin in writing his prescriptions, why he writes aqua when he means va. ter, he will give you technical dis. sertation on the purity Of the Latin language, and the fact that all words are derived from it. etc. It will be dissertation that you may not be able to answer, but 1t will hardly convince you
 It would be a good thing for the pub lie to devise little code of ethics Of its own ethics that will be "a good thing for the public individually and collectively"
 Let us apply one of the rules Of this code of ethics to you, the individual

DOMINION OFFICIALS CHARGE NEGLIGENCE IN CALAMITY
 WHICH COST 94 LIVES.
TO TRY TO LOCATE BLAME
Of 1o2 Workmen, All Americans, But 10 Are Known to Have Escaped Death--Wreck to Be
 Raised.

Quebec. Aug. 31.= Steps To begin criminal investigation into Thursday nights terrible disaster when perhaps so men lost their lives in the collapse of the gigantic caniieyer bridge across the St. Lawrence. five miles from here, have already been taken by the au- thorities despite the fact that the city and the communities near the scene of the accident are still prostrated. EV- cry effort will be made 10 fix the blame for the disaster. Agents of the railroad commission. which has 1uli power to conduct an examination and institute court action, are already on their way to the scene of the disaster. Meanwhile the local authorities are also pursuing their own inquiry.
 At the scene of the disaster the people are literally crazed by the ca lamity. For this reason little has been done toward recovering bodies. No list of the dead has been compiled, or even started. All night frantic men rushed along the banks of the stream, lanterns in hand, crying fran. tically that something must be done But there were few who had the slightest idea what ought to be done. Probably more lives could have been saved had those first on the spot been able to rise to the occasion. As 1t was. few workmen who managed to keep themselves afloat for little he e-usift tor AS a consequence of the apathy of those on the scene only It bodies have beeen recovered
 Hundreds of workmen commanded by skilled engineers, are exploring the wreckage, taking out the crushed and broken bodies of the victims and pre-. pairing to try to raise parts of the debris which can easily be lifted. IL will probably be days, however, be. fore any real progress can be made in the matter of clearing the river
 Wreck to Be Raised.
 Divers have been sent for to eX plore the river bottom, and until they report upon the condition of the wreckage little can be done toward
 
 clearing away the masses of debris. Huge floating derricks have also been sent for. and within a few hours 1t is expected half a dozen cranes will be at work lightering such wreckage as can be loosened.
 The exact fate of many of the work CTS may never be known So far as known, only 10 of the l02 workmen. all Americans, known to have been on the bridge, escaped. Two of these are at the point of death. Of the other eight only four are believed to have a chance of recovery.
 There is possibility no attempt may be made to reconstruct the bridge. It's estimated cost was $l0 000, 900. and over half of that amount had already been expended. Objec tions to continuing this work are al ready heard. The Phoenix Bridge Building Co. of PhoeniXyille Pa. was erecting the structure
 Latest estimates place the deaths at S4. but those giving out the figures admit th vi. estimate may be too small

The County Should Pay.

There is considerable talk in
Saratoga about lowering the Platte
river bridge at that town, and the
citizens there agree to meet the
county commissioners half way in
the matter of expense. This may
be right in this particular case,
but the principle of expecting the
immediate community to share the
cost OF county state or national
improvements is a bad one.
The bridge is a county bridge,
and was put there by all the peo-
pie for all the people. If it is not
in good condition and there is pub
lie demand for an improvement
the county should have it done
and not look to Saratoga to pay
any part of the bill. And from
what we have seen and heard of it
the change is notwithstanding
