FOR SELFISH ENDS
The Efforts Being Made by the Amerl-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose Of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school, of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice Of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a COMMITTEE on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township 49,
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held in June OF this year expressed a
hope that larger number Of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose OF capturing legislatures
| and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted men,
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $780,
56789 Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906 The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about $4,000 a year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field Of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

Giants and Dwarfs,

The town Of Ligonier, Noble county,
Ind, claims the unique distinction Of
having for citizens the largest and
smallest men, physically considered, in
the west. George Washington Walker
is without question the heaviest man in
Indiana, if not in the United States.
He weighs 500 pounds, is now 46 years
old and is adding steadily to his weight
at the rate of twenty-five pounds each
year Of his life. His waist measure
ment is seventy-six inches, chest under
arms sixty-eight inches and arm twen-
ty-fve inches. He is in excellent health
but finds locomotion rather difficult, al
though he travels about in a specially
constructed conveyance. He is the
father of two bright children and lives
a retired life, attempting to avoid much
notoriety. In the heated season he
lives altogether in the cellar Of his
residence. Walkers physical antitype
is Jesse Walker, his neighbor. The
latter is - years Of age and possesses
a body of fair size. His legs, however,
are twelve inches in length. He is
three feet three inches tall and weighs
but fifty pounds. Jesse is promising
youth, mentally well equipped and as
averse to notoriety as George Washing
ton Walker. The two men have re-
ceived fattering offers from museum
proprietors, but at present have no de-
sire for that kind of fame.-St. Louis

BAD DREAMS

One OF the common symptoms OF
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
Formerly was slave to coffee. I
was like morphine fiend, could not

my bed and when l did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob-
Inns, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, so nervous I

belchings from the stomach, indiges-

heart, constipation, irregularity of the
kidneys, etc.
Indeed, began to feel had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer,
but when a friend advised me to leave
off coffee I felt as if he had 1nsulted
me. l could not bear the. idea, it had
such hold on me and refused to

But it turned out that no advice was

Review of Reviews.
LET us build the lines the country
needs" they say, land don't ask us to
go out of our way to further scheme
which, however practicable from an
engineering point of view, would not
pay us dividends in this century, and
possibly not in the next.

indirectly through the increased stabil,

the building of an intercontinenta
line, but that benefit is too remote to in.

ample opportunity for expanding all
our available funds in the construction

the present time, almost without excep

Ingersoll Worries Them Not.

Ingersoll does not trouble US minis
tiers much. His talk may be witty. but
his jibes and arguments are rehash
Of those Of Paine and Voltaire, argu-
ments which have been answered so
often that we are tired of answering;
arguments which are so ancient and
musty that.we are surprised that Inger-
soil is willing to be SO far behind the
time as to dress them up and troto them
out again. They are about as effective
for his purpose as a 18th century blum
derbuss would be against. a modern

Success for the foreign actress who
essays to play in English in the Unit
ed States hinges entirely on the out
come of her battle with her accent.
In comic opera, in tragedy, in the
polite drama of evening clothes or in
comedy, the public demands to under
stand what is being said, and no
genius can reconcile them to actor or
actress who speaks in sounds that
none can make out.
The great tragic geniuses, like Bern
hardt or Duse, have not needed to mas
ter the English. Their great fame
saved them. The divine Sarah could
play in French, and the public that
knew nothing of the tongue either pre-
tended to, or frankly admitting it's ig-
norance, applauded and professed to
get sufficient satisfaction out of the
| pantomime of the most notable per-
former of her day. In lesser degreed
the same was true of Duse, though she
could expect a still smaller clientele,
| as Italian is much less known than
French
But actresses who fall only tri1e
short OF the altitude of these eminent
! tragediennes have learned that the
open sesame to success in Uncle Sans
realm is to study the tongue of the
country, hence there is a lengthening
line of actresses and singers, who come
here ignorant Of English, and study in
order to act and sing in it.
Only lately Mesdames Kalich and
Nazimova joined the number.
OF all the actresses who mastered
English after first acting here in a
foreign tongue, none equalled the sue
cess of Helena Modjeska.
This superb woman, a Pole, first
acted hers in her native tongue, but
found that her achievements in this
country were hopelessly barred while
she spoke language that only one
person in a thousand understood.
With remarkable industry she ap-
| piled herself to study of English,
and soon mastered it so thoroughly
that she not only succeeded, but rank
ed for a long time as the foremost
actress of the day.
Fanny Janauschek, an actress of
mighty tragic power, who was for a
long time Modjeska's greatest rival,
was not a German, though her early
acting in the United States was done
In the tongue Of the Fatherland
| She was a Bohemian, and there is a
world of difference between the two.
Janauscheck never became as COM
plete mistress of English as Nodes
ka, but she spoke it well enough to
earn great reputation when her
powers were in their full. But in later
years, after she had gone back some,
the new public that had grown up
since the first triumphs of the noted
MARY Stuart and Meg Merrilles, -
declined to accept an actress who
talked English with an accent. She
descended to the cheapest of melodra-
matte roles, was for long an object of
charity and died in poverty.
Hortense Rhea spoke almost unintel-
igible English, and was never able to
gain permanent public recognition.
| What has been true of actresses has
also applied to singers.
On the grand opera stage, and sing
ing In German, the celebrated contral-
to, Madame Schumann-Heink, was one

BERLIN POSTAL TUBES,
Connect the Central Office With the
Principal Stations.

Connect the Central Office With the
Principal Stations.
The Berlin postal authorities are
revolutionizing the conveyance of let
tiers and parcels.
The idea on which they are expert
menting, says the Chicago Tribune, is
to have an underground tube with a
large enough circumference to admit
man in STOPPING posture. These
tubes are to connect the central post
Office with the principal stations and
with the district Offices.
Two sets of rails are built in this
tube or tunnel, one over the other,
not side by side. The upper set of
rails is supported on the sides of the
tube, thus practically dividing it in
! two. Small carriages, running on two
wheels, are automatically driven by
electricity along these rails
No locomotive is used nor is there
any attendant with the carriage. AS
, many as six of these carriages can
| be run together for conveying letters
and parcels from the arrival station
| to the central postof1ice and thence
to the various districts, or vice versa.
BY this means letters can be deliv-
cred in any part of the city in less
than a fourth OF the time formerly re-
CURED. So far the scheme is not
beyond the experimental stages, but
it promises to be success and to
