New Bri- tain, he explained, is "fraternal order city and the abolishlng ol contract work" could only pc brought about by unanimous agree ment among the physicians to refrain from it and that the dawn of a day of such beatific accord was not yet.
 It was learned that physicians whc have exclusive surgical practice oi certain factories charge full profes- sional rates and sometimes more, as the Indemnity Insurance companies are the ones who settle the bills and not the factories.
 If a physician is under contract for three lodges, he receives on ar average a $500 salary from each lodge, or a total of s1,S00. Making thirty calls a day for $50 days tal- lowing the other fifteen days in the year for vacation), he would Inake 1O,500 calls a year and receive an average of seventeen and one-half cents a call.

viper, yet tell his name he must soon for even HOW they had passed the iron gateway of the Benwycks' country home and were whirling up winding avenue lined with trees. What the re suit of this declaration would be he could but too well imagine. His heart sank; his hopes vanished.
 Suddenly into his brain there flashed a brilliant idea-nothing less than an | inspiration. To avoid trouble the Earl of Croyland had coolly appropriated the name of Richard Williams. A fair exchange was no robbery by the laws l of love and war. and if Richard bor- rowed the Englishman's title for the time being an imminent calamity might be averted. At all events, he would meet the girl he loved, which was the chief object in view, and, be- sides, the proposition appealed to his sense of humor His spirits rose at once.
 "Er-pardon me, Mir. Renwyck," he observed, with faint suggestion of what he thought was the English mans drawling manner, what jolly fine grounds you have! What dye call 'em"
 "Restmore."
 "Ha, ha! Very good. Really, you know. quite up to Croyland Park"

 He drew the mare up sharply be- meath the porte cochere and tossed the reins to a waiting groom. In a mo- ment the pseudo noble guest was standing on wide portico whose pill lars and trellises were twined with wistaria in the seasons first luxu<iant bloom. From a seat on the lawn a vision in a bewildering white morning gown arose and came toward him. The Texan was conscious of an electric current turned slowly to the crowning notch of ecstasy. He saw for the sec ond time in his life an oval face framed in dark hair, a pair of melting eyes and nose with just that saucy tilt which seemed to dare him to plant a kiss beneath it, and figure that he had once held in his arms. How could he have ever let it go?
 Lord Croyland," said Mir Renwyck, indiffercntly enough, as if adorable girls like that were as plenty as black berries, allow me to present you to my daughter"
 The adorable girl smiled and extend ed hand, which Richard took. striv- ing to prevent his own from trembling.
 Miss Renwyck," he murmured, look ing squarely into her eyes, you con- vince me that America is the very finest country in the world"

NEWSPAPERS INCREASE PRICES.

The International Paper trust has succeeded in making newspaper so dear that the one cent papers of Phlla- delphia have gone to two cents a copy and there is serious talk by other pub- fishers of putting the two cent papers up to four cents.
 One Philadelphia publisher. stating the case. says:
 ''I have hopes that the present prices of white paper cannot continue. I have no accurate information or au- thOrity on which to base thst belief. still. with the advance of twenty-five Ter cent in prices. believe there will be SD much profit in the paper manu- featuring business that a large mount of new capital will enter this field. and this of itself will tend to decrease prices.

LODGES AND PHYSICIANS.
Contract Work" Debars Physicians
 From Membership,

Owing to the contest now waging in Fall River, Mass, between the physicians and the fraternal orders who hire a physician by salary tc look after all their sick members dur ing the year at the nominal ngure of s3 per member as against the regu- lar professional fee of $1.5O a visit an agitation which is said to have talk en its cue from Waterbury, a num- Der of local physicians were inter- viewed on the subject by New Bri- tain Herald reporter concerning con ditions in medical and surgical circles in that city.
 One physician said that as long as seven years ago the New Britain so- ciety of Physicians took stand against contract" practice, as the fraternal work is called. and made membership in it contingent upon a physicians refusing to do this kind of work. The physician went on tc explain that a similar rule obtains as regards membership in the Hart ford County Society of Physicians. in the State Society of Physicians and in all the leading cities of COnnecti- cut.
 He said that the free physician was undoubtedly a great drawing card for membership in certain lodg. es, but that lodge members them selves finally came to the conclusion that where a lodge physician has from thirty to forty calls to make Tn the course of a single day he cannot do justice to all his patients, while in the case of a prOtraeted illness, such as typhoid fever. for instance. where a physician makes two calls day for a period of six or eight weeks, a fee of only g for a total of ninety-twO calls. or three cents Q call. is hardly a fair remuneration for a man who has spent years in preparation for success in his chosen profession. The present regular fees lare s1 for an office cali. sl.5G for a house call in day time and s3 for a house call at night time. The regular fee for the amputation of finger. Fe added. is s1O. The lodges. he stated pay a physician salary of $500 a year and charge each of their mem- bers ss a year for medical service.
 The physician went on to explain that in his judgment the time Eas not far distant when all contract work" among the physicians would be done away with and for two req sons: First, the action of the medical societies class such service as un- professional" and secondly. taat the physicians who are doing -co7trzct work would cone to realize that they were not only not making any more money than those physicians who charged the regular prOf -ssioaaI rates. but in fact that they were zol making as much as those of .heiI professional brothers who have few CT calls but who receive more 7o1ey per call and who oo1ssous7tlv hzE more tine to give to study sad the work Of each case

A BABY's ADVENTURES.

A baby saved from cloudburst and flood, as it lay in its cradle. while the adults and other children in the same house were swept away and drowned. is the strange story that comes from the hacienda de Huestalpa, this state, brought in with the baby, which is now located in the orphan asylum here. ,,''
 Several days ago, the story goes. A waterspout broke over the hacienda, and as a result of the torrents which swept over the country, the houses of a laborer were swept away. and the whole family, with the strange ex- ception of its weakest and most help less member. drownd.
 The waterspout burst suddenly at night. and the waster so released spread over great space. and swept down toward the arroyos at a terrific rate. A portion of hill was swept away and it was while the water was sweeping over and around it that the house containing the unfortunate family of laborers was overwhelmed.
 When the rescue parties discovered that the house had been swept away, the water had entirely disappeared. and the only marks of it's devastation remained. The bodies of the family were found in turn of an arroyo. and later the house was discovered further down the stream.
 In it's little cradle. which had been swept along with the house. the help less baby was found perfectly safe. hut in dire distress for want of food. Its miraculous escape aroused much interest. and it was taken to town. where it was nursed hack to health It has been placed in the state orphan asylum in this city.-Mexicsn Herald.

Rev J. J. Curtin. pastor of St Fran cis Xavier parish, arrived home last night after tour through the old country. The pastor looks good and says he enjoyed the trip very much. He visited the principal cities of Eu- rope and was very much pleased with what he saw. In Ireland he noticed that the country is fast becoming one vast pasture, most people having giv- en up raising crops and turning their attention to stock. Farmers who for merly devoted their energies to the cultivation of corn, potatoes and other farm produce have found that cat tie pay better and besides there is not half the labor attached to the new de- parture Father Curtin stepped from a trolley car about s:30 o'clock and went direct to the parochial residence, but was held up by all army of his parishoners who happened to be ill the neighborhood on their way to re- hearsal for the entertainment to be given by the parish on october [, and if he wanted to answer all the questions they put to him he would be there yet.

GOT 400 PER CENT PROFIT
Standard Oil Officials Throw More Liuht on Trusts Earninus,

New York, Sept. 27.-Standard Oil's pipe line manager, c. N. Payne, spent nearly all of the last days government hearing telling Frank B. Kellogg as little as he could about the particular branch of the monopoly he supervises. The profits of the pipe line in Indiana were shown to be 400 per cent year by the testimony of George Chesebro, comptroller of most of the Standards pipe line corporations.
 Those of the pipe lines which were compelled by the interstate commerce commission to designate themselves as common carriers" and which filed tariff schedules to impossible .termi- nals on the boundary lines of states named the same charges for piping oil per barrel as the railroad freight rate.
 Comptroller Chesebro produced the balance sheets of the various pipe line companies owned by the Standard for the years 1S99-1906. He was examined on the balance sheet of the Indiana Pipe line for 1903. An entry, ."'Oil pur- chased, $4l5,425," on the contingent account he couldn't explain, but h.. said he would send to oil City for the books and find out. He said the pipe line company didn't buy any oil. He read, various items of plant account, earnings and operating expenses, and then MT. Kellogg gave him pencil and pad and told him to figure out the profits of the pipe line for the year 1903.
 The company is capitalized at s1,000,. OO0. The value of the plant is put down as $2.22s,7 ,72O After figuring for some minutes Mir. Chesebro announced that the profits for the year were s4.0OO.O91. .23. This is 400 per cent on the capital, 200 per cent on the value of the plant.
