THE SILVER SITUATION.
mining World, Chicago)


There is universal alarm as the heavy
fall in the price of silver during the last
few months has failed to encourage
consumption, thus compelling many
mines TO suspend operations tempo
rarily.
Today silver is selling at about 13
cents per ounce less than it did a year
ago when trade expansion required a
larger supply of small coin and when
the more important buyers who ship
to the far east were in need of the
metal. During February, this year, the
price of silver dropped as low as 55l4
cents on the 5th, rallying to 575s cents
on the 10th. and closed at 5612 cents
on the 18th. The extreme quotations in
January were 541s cents on the I'd and
IS 81 cents on the eth, making the
average for the month 55.67S cents. Ex-
cepting December, when the average
was 54.565 cents, the January figure is
the lowest monthly average for nearly
three years.
In the following table an attempt is
made to show the fluctuations i'm the
annual average price of silver and the
worlds output during the last forty
years, as nearly as can be calculated
from official sources; the New York
price is per fine ounce and the London
per standard ounce (O.925 fine):

for cards
MeIIen stood pat and Qusrles did the
same, bringing it up to Bassett, who
looked sorely troubled and thought for
considerable time.
Finally he laid his hand on the table

three deuces. Il amt dead sure q

of value to the public. An instance Of
false standard OF ethics is found in the
recent adoption by the Philadelphia
Medical association of a resolution pro-
viding for the establishment of a
medical publicity bureau.
In support of the resolution DR.. j.
Madison Taylor. a weIl-known physi-
clan. said
THE central aim of the profession of
medicine is radically different from all
other professions, callings or organized
activities. We stand sworn to use all
the powers we possess and can acquire
to prevent the very causes of condi-
tons which make our calling necessary.
A secondary purpose is to cure or rem
edy with the utmost promptitude the
baneful effects of these causes. "
Above all, we should aid in promulgat-
ing right conceptions of the advances
in medical science"
This is by no means an endorsement
of the quack doctors advertising meth
DDS. 1t is strictly in line with the trend
of modern thought Think of the i'm
mense good that has been done by the
comparatively limited publicity in
medical affairs during the last few
years. By means of publicity the pub
lie has been taught that tuberculosis.
for example, is durable and preventa-
BILE. The children of the tubercular pa
tient are not any longer regarded as
doomed TO die of tuberculosis, they and
their children and their children's chill
dren.
Through publicity diphtheria has
been robbed of many of it's terrors, for
mothers have been taught the first
symptoms of the disease and they
have been taught. further, that if they
call the doctor promptly he will come
with an antitoxin that is practically q
specific and save the one who is suf-
fering. Working with the newspapers
and other popular publications the doc
tors have shown how water supplies
can be safeguarded and epidemics of
typhoid fever prevented. And through
publicity the mothers have learned
that measles, whoOping cough and
other diseases Of childhood are not in
evitable, that with proper precautions
they can be avoided.
The public has no great Interest in
the personality of the physician who
instructs it. 1t merely wants to know
whether or not he is competent to in
struct and, when his advice is sound.
the intelligent portion of the public
follows it to the letter. with amazingly
beneficial results.

Old man Greenhut had seized his

had his man in a secure grip, and that
moreover Joe Bassett was on the alert,
he swung the bungstarter around and
used it for a gavel instead of a weapon.

1t appeared that they were so dis
posed, and the reliable four-Winter-
bottom, Bassett, Blaisdell and Pearsall
were entirely willing to join issues
with them. Accordingly the six were
soon playing a table stakes game in
which each man took a thousand dol
| lars worth of chips for a starter.
1t was not a long game, nor was
there anything slow about the way the
cards ran. On the first deal there were
several raises until everybody dropped
out excepting MelIen and Winterbot-
tom. Then Winterbottom raised again,
and Mellen stayed.
/ On the draw both stood pat, and

his, and on the showdown both men

Bassett dealt next, and it was i'm
mediately apparent that he, too. had
given out some good cards, for Meilen
and Pearsall both came in, Quarles
raised, Winterbottom and Bassett
dropped. and Blaisdell raised again.
Then Mellen raised, and Pedrsail
stayed Quarles raised again. So did
Blaisdel. The other two stayed, and
Quarles gave it one more boost, after
which the others all stayed.
Blaisdell looked carefully and called
fer two cards. Mellen took one, Pear
sail two. and Quarles stood pat. Mel
len bet a white chip, Pearsall trailed,
and Quarles pushed his stack forward.

TWO CURIOUS SUITS.

Two interesting actions at law were
reported in the dispatches of last week.
one laid in Ohio, the other in Kansas.
In the Kansas case a man named Mar
TN Bergman sued a PRESBYTERIAN
preacher, H. c. Senne, for damages in
the sum of $1,000 because Senne refused
TO admit him to full fellowship in the
church. He asserts that by reason of
Senne's refusal he has been damaged
in the sum named.
Bergman's petition alleges, that he is
"a firm believer in the doctrines and
creed of the church; that it is necessary
to his salvation and peace of mind that
he be received in and treated as a
member of the church." In his answer
to the petition, the pastor says Berg
mans application for membership was
rejected because he had so conducted
himself as to be entirely unworthy of
recognition as church member.
1t is to be doubted if an action sim
liar TO this was ever filed in any court
Here is an attempt to fix the value of
a soul. And most people will agree that
the price is too low. Very few of us
would be willing to sell our souls for
s., 900. But we have our doubts as to
the sincerity of Bergman. If he really
wants to become a church member and
shows it by living a clean, decent life
and subscribing to certain prescribed
doctrines. it is inconceivable that any
minister would keep him out. His suit
will probably be dismissed as soon as
the judge gets around to il.
The Ohio case also presents some
unique aspects. A seven-year-old boy.
Terry Wiskham, was promoted from the
fifth to the seventh grade in the Upper
Sandusky schools. The school board,
on account of the boys youth, declined
to recognize the promotion. and sent
the boy home. Mandamus proceedings
were instituted by the boys father, and
a decision favorable TO the plaintiff has
lust been handed down. During the
hearing the boy passed special exam
ination without a single flaw.
Clearly the court was right. The
school board has no right to take cog
nizance of the boys age. Its only prov
ince was to see that he was qualified
for admission to the grade TO which he
had been promoted. If he had been
only two years old, the same proceed
ing would have been proper. There
will be a difference of opinion as to the
wisdom of the lads parents in forcing
him along. but that is strictly their
province. The board had no authority
10 usurp the functions of the parents.
