seekers and the curious who have at
tended daily the sessions of Katherine
Clemmons Gould's suit for separation
from her husband, Howard Gould,
were sadly disappointed at the re-
sumption of the hearings before JUS
tfce Bowling in the supreme court
when it was announced that the de-
tense had rested and that Howard
Gould would not take the stand. 1t
had been expected that his direct tes-
timony and his cross!examination by
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for the
plaintiff, would take two full days.
Mr.. Shearn apparently was greatly
surprised by the announcement that
Mr.. Gould would not testify. Gould
himself seemed relieved and Mrs.
Gould annoyed.
"Since the recess of last Friday,
your honor said Delaney Nicoll,
counsel for Gould, my associates and
l have decided that the testimony
which we have offered is so COM
plete that there is no necessity for
going further. We therefore have de-
cided to rest at this time"
When he recovered from his first
establishment Mr. Shearn led off the
rebuttal with testimony designed to
show, he explained, 1.-THE falsity of the
charge that Mrs. Gould was continual
ly and habitually intoxicated from
1902 to the present date"
do you regard such evidence as
necessary" asked the court.
Necessary or not, counsel for the
plaintiff thereupon produced stream
of below-stairs witnesses, whose ties.
timony was followed by the reading
of dispositions of guests and friends
who swore that Mrs. Gould never, to
their knowledge, drank to excess and
that she was always affable, reserved
and modest in. her language
mony directly opposed to that the de-
PENDANTS witnesses had given pre-.
viously. 1t was on account of the
unexpected attitude taken by the de.
Tense that Mr.. Shearn had run short
of witnesses late in the day and was
obliged to introduce the deposilions.
He promised, however, to have a
string of about fifty ready when court
again opens, who will testify in re-
buttal to disprove. if possible, the

DR.. RUDOLF viRCHOW.

"If we should eXpunge all that medi-
cine as science directly and indi-
rectly owes to him, comparatively lit
tie would be left" This was recently
said by distinguished physician OF
Rudolf Virchow, who was born eighty
eight years ago, the son of small
merchant in the village of Schivel-
bein, Pomerania
1t is equally true that there are liv-
ing today, in good health and in full
enjoyment of life, millions of people
in all parts of the world who, if Ru-
be in their graves.
The whole fabric of modern medi-
cine is based largely on what Vir-
chow, the son of an insignificant shop
keeper, learned and taught. If the
world were yet sufficiently civilized to
pay greater honor to it's life-savers
than to its life takers, there would be
statutes to Virchow in every city of
America and Europe, stately memorials
to the great scientist erected by those
whose lives he indirectly saved.
Virchow assumed the title of NJ d.
in lS43, and five years later, as the
member of government commission
sent to investigate an epidemic of ty-
phus in Silesia, he produced report
so original and brilliant as to place
him among the foremost ranks of the
worlds healers.
He was rewarded with a professor
ship in the University of Berlin, where
he founded his famous "Archives of
Pathological Anatomy which has been
published ever since. He was in high
favor with the powers that ruled in
Germany until the breaking out of the
revolutions in -lS49. As one who
had sprung from the prolotariat, he
held decidedly radical views, and for
this he was expelled from the Uni
versity of Berlin.
Going to the University of Wurz-
burg, he began course of investiga
ton which resulted in his greatest dis
covery, the theory of the cellular ma
ture of animal tissue, announced in his
book Cellular Pathology" This work
marked a veritable revolution in medi-
cal science and made the author ia
nous throughout the world.
There followed one valuable, if start
ling, discovery after another. Medical
knowledge of tuberculosis, tumors, diph-
liberia and of the brain is largely
what Virchow made it. He was also an
authority on many other sciences, and
as practical politician of the radical
party, served twenty-five years in the
Prussian chamber, and later was elected
to the Reichstag. He died in Berlin

Bay track is today scene of activity
in anticipation of the opening of the

Betters TO Stay OFF Lawn.
1t is stated that at the Sheepshead
bay meeting the betters will not be
permitted to cohgregate on the lawn.
This does not mean that patron
of racing will be ordered to move on
if he stops to talk TO or greet friend
on the lawn. The order is aimed di.
dectly at the men who accept oral
wagers. They will Ii ave to move else
where to conduct tn. ,ir business.
This change means that the book
makers will 60 back to the betting
shed, where the oral betters can con-
tinue to carry on their busine IS UNI
molested, provided they keep within
tn elimits of the law. There will be
no interference so long as the betting
is done as has been the custom since
the season opened here.
Many people may interpret the new
state of affairs as meaning that open
betting will be easy once, the book
makers take up places in the old ring.
But this is all mistake. The book
makers will be watched just as closely
as before and if an attempt is made
to do an open business the associa-
ton will aid the regular police in ar
resting the offenders
The Oral Betting.
The officials of the club have CON
suited counsel, who say that it is iust
as legal to make an oral bet under
shed as on the lawn and in full view
of everybody.
The change was made so as not to
make it look as if racing was conduct
ed for betting only. Until recently
the people who patronize the sport
because of their love for the thor
oughbred were compelled to rub ell
bows with the people rushing up and
down the lawn going from book to
book trying to get the best of the
prices. 1t was also said that Cover
nor Hughes's agents were finding fault
with the betting, which was exposed
to everybody in the stands, and tine
tip was sent out to her the bettors in
a place less conspicuous than on the
lawn.

Beatrice Davies, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph S. Davies, who had the
misfortune to fall while skating on
roller skates five weeks ago and frac-
tuTe both bones of her right arm, be-
low the elbow, met with another
accident Monday. The bones had knit
very nicely and the splints were re-
moved week ago. Monday, while
jumping off from some elevation the
child fell and again broke the bones,
where they were knitting together. The
fracture was reduced again, but it
takes longer for a second fracture to
knit, and the junction is not apt to be
so good. Miss Davies will have the
sympathy of her many friends.
