Imposing CompatriOt Departs with
His Cold Cash.
Now He Ts Seeking Stranger who
Wanted Aid in Spending
$1,000.

Guini Paol0. a gullible and sympathetic
Italian. Of Navy place. came weeping
into police headquarters yesterday and
spoke most feelingly OF So, which was
unscrupulously removed from MIN by
some unnatural monster Of his own race.
According to GuiH. whose red handker-
chief and brass earrings give him any
thing but a tender appearance. was stand
ing on Seventh street yesterday with 81
in his pocket and no particular object in
view.
An imposing person, who by his dress
and manner showed himself to be an
Italian who had been some time in this
country. strolled up to Guini and fel into
a quiet conversation with him. Pleased
that he should be noticed by so distln-
guished a citizen. who claimed that he
was an intimate OF the Commissioners
and the president Of q royal Italis n So
eiety. Guini timidly insinuated that be
would like 10 buy" The parsonage was
agreeable. and. over the f0aming lager.
informed Guini that he had 5000 IN a
small newspaper bundle which he carried
carefully under his arm.
At this unusual information the Hurried
Italian eyes widened and his earrings
trembled at the thought Of an aequain-
tance With such a plutocrat, and when
the stranger Suggested that they spend
the money together on vast round OF
pleasure. he hesitatingly consented. won
dering what pTopitious deity smiled on
him. But first the benefcent person
asked that Guini pool his interests and
elect linn the treasurer OF the party. The
motica was carried without objection, and
Guini handed his S57 70 the new-found
friend. but not until they had again gone
out to the street.
Here Guini waited while the stranger.
on a pretext Of getting some Of the larger
bills changed, went into the saloon, out
the side door, and away.
Guini has not seen the distinguished peT-
sonage since. but he is quite sure that he
will remember him in case he is appre-
hended.

DIR. OSLER CRITICAL
Calls Health Seryicein United
States a Disgrace.
PLACES BLAME ON POLITICS
Declares Americans Away Behind
EngIand-DecFies Use of Drugs and
Doctor 10 Pretend That He Can
Cure All Sorts of Diseases.

Philadelphia, May 10.-In an address be-
fore the Pathological Society in this city.
DIR. William Osler to-day declared that
the Americans were away behind England
in the matter Of public health service.
Public health service in the United
States is a disgrace 10 the country" said
DR.. Osier, "aud &c always will be until
politics is eliminated in the selection OF
men who look after the health OF the
public. Even in the rural districts of
Great Britain no man is put in Office un-
less he can show a certificate of qualif-
cation"
DR.. Osier decried the use OF so many
drugs, and said that In this enlightened
age it was all moonshine for a doctor 10
pretend that he could cure all diseases.
III YOU cannot cure a man. tell him
so" he continued. "and remember that
a physician is a teacher and not a slave
OF a patient We work by wit, and not
by wltchcraft There are diseases that
as yet we have found no remedy for, and
we might as we'll confess IL. There is too
much drugging and while my theory has
been dubbed a mixture Of hope and nux-
vOmica. 1 shall stick 10 il that there are
only a few great drugs worth handling.
I am not going 10 name them, either
In closing, DR.. Osler advocated q course
for students in medicine which had more
practical training in 1t and less lecture
room work He advised a more thorough
teaching Of morbid anatomy.

Are Being Lowered.
SPECIAL to The Wasbington Herald.

Anderson, S. c., May l0-W. ". Finley,
president Of the Southern Railway. was
one Of the principal speakers at the an
nual banquet OF the South Carolina di-
vision Of the Travellers Protective Asso-
cation here tonight
He declared that the commercial trav-
eler and the railway are natural allies. as
both are pioneers Of trade and builders up
OF business. and both are vitaIly interested
in everything contributing to the wealth
and the development Of the natural re-
sources Of the section IN which they
operate.
Referring TO conditions IN the Southern
States, Mr.. finley said that the CONNER
cial travellers and the railways were WORK
ing together IN a 1eld urgently in need OF
additional transportation facilities.
He gave figures showing that the terri
tory south OF the Ohio and Potomac and
east Of the Mississippi Is not as well sup
Piled in length Of track OF IN other rail-
way facilities in proportion TO area and
population as are other sections OF the
country.
Speaking OF the great increase in the
cost OF producing transportation, the only
commodity a railway has for sale, and 10
the fact that manufacturers generally
under such conditions advance prices, he
said that if the production and sale Of
transportation could be carried on subject
! 70 the operation Of the law Of supply and
demand as completely as can the manu-
facture Of cotton goods or Of clothing,
present conditions are such as would jus
tify a very material advance in the selling
price Of transportation
But" said he the price has not ad-
vanced. On the contrary. Notwithstanding
the great Increase IN the cost Of railway
operation and the urgent necessity for the
expansion and Improvement OF railway IA
ciiiues. the tendency has been downward,
and Il is proposed in some OF the States
to put in force legislation arbitrarily re-
dueing still further the price at which
transportation can be sold. and imposing
I penalties for failure 10 perform services

oupied the box when court adjourned yes

them is yet definitely chosen as a juror.
Senator Borah. OF counsel for the prose-
eution. said to-day that he thought a jury
could be obtained by next wednesday.
Lawyer Richardson. OF the defense said
that he hoped the box would be filed by
Thursday, at the latest. It is apparent
that far less difficulty is 70 be met in get

The residents Of Ada County are not
afraid TO serve. nor have many Of them
prejudice TO such an extent as TO prevent
them from bringing an impartial mind to
the consideration OF the evidence.
haywood EFlaA Test Tor All.
The length of the trial, however. at
present is all guess work. The guesses
run all the way from three weeks TO three
months. One thing seems fairly certain,
though, and that is that il Haywood be
acquitted. Meyer and Petubone Will
scarcely be tried. It is understood that

from Orchards testimony. the evidence
VIII be largely circumstantial is indicated
by the questions asked of the talesmen by
the attorneys for the prosecution.
An official of the Western Federation
.of Miners, who IS in town, says that for
a time the labor people were really con-
WINGED that a strong effort would be
made TO railroad the defendants to the
gallOWs. But he Is nov Of the opinion
that this notion was the result of much
mistaken agitation. He firmly believes,
since he has investigated affairs personal
y, that the accused will have a perfectly
fair trial from beginning 10 end.
Meyer Much Disturbed.
Meyer is much disturbed over a printed
report that he once served a term in
Joliet for burglary. He denies the re-
port, and declares that at the time in
question he was working in South Dakota.
The report is evidently a fake, for Moy-
er's history has been thoroughly can
vassed, and the prosecution will make no
such charge against him.
Boise still refuses 10 get excited over
the trial, and appears TO take far less
interest in it than is felt in the cities OF
the East.
