The town of Wolverhampton is all
excitement over the refusal of its
austere officials of a presentation por-
trait of Captain Webb, the famous
channel swimmer. Captain Webb was
native of Northampton; in the
painting he is shown wearing the Gus
tomary swimming trunks only, and
this brevity of attire affected the SEN
sibilties of local officials. George
Phoenix, the Artist. in presenting the
picture, recommended that it be hung
in the Municipal Baths, which in win
ter used also for public meetings.
In a letter acknowledging the ar
lists offer the Town Clerk says that
the chairman of the Baths Committee

one in every respect but could not
recommend the comitte to accept it.
The artist is inviting the public to his
studio to pass upon the propriety of

An effort is at last to be made to
relieve the newspapers of England
from some of the evils they suffer I'M
der the present law of libel. Besides
having to pay many claims of black
mailing character, invariably when a
newspaper defends an action for libel
the jury gives the claimant heavy
damages, very often against the ad-
vice of the Judge. To avoid this Sir
George Toulmin has introduced bill
in the House of Commons, which pro-
vides that if judge is satisfied that
the alleged libel is trivial, and that the
words complained of having been pub
lished in good faith, he may stay all
proceedings, unless the plaintiff gives
security for the defendants costs.
Other provisions of the bill are that
fair and accurate reports of public
meetings, proceedings in court and the
finding OF the courts, although the find
ing be subsequently varied, and any
fair and bona fide comment thereon,
shall be privileged. At present g
paper cannot comment on any verdict
until it has reached the final court, by
Which time in many cases, all public
interest in the matter has been lost.
The House of Commons has lost one
of its oldest and most popular figures,
in the sudden death of Collins, the
head-waiter of the smoking-room. He
had charge of what is known as the
Upper Smoking-room, one of the ex-
elusive rooms into which the members
cannot introduce stranger. Collins,

Advice to Country Doctors.

From the Medical Record.
It is not uncommon to behold physicians.
particularly in the rural districts, who
with advancing years cannot compete
with their younger colleagues. and who
find their former lucrative practice and
comfortable income gradually slipping
away. This is all the more distressing In
view of the fact that the practitioner IN
his days of prosperity was compelled, Dotn
for social and business reasons' TO i've
UP to his income. The vanishing practice,
whether the result of the keen competi-
tion of the younger men or the unfor-
tunate outcome of the infirmities that
come with advancing years, can no longer
maintain the high standard of living TO
which the practitioner has been accus-
toned. He has been able to save little or
nothing and In many instances he is COM

There are statistics to account

the average visitor. student or

the white splendor of its archi-
lecture, In its pillared wings poised
above the green OF terraces, In
the mighty dome that challenges
the master builders of earth. and
In the bronze Freedom above 1t
that proclaims American liberty
to the very skies.
The deeds that hlazed the way
to that liberty are sculptured in
, marble on porticoes and along cor

doors, painted on walls and can
vases and illumined in glass. But
the Capitol does not merely re-
cord in soulless stone the achieve

scars OF war
The young student, of course, mas
had his history lesson about that
way-bacx day in the city's child
hood when British Ross and Cock
burn invaded Washington and
burned Its Capitol: but the incident
seemed too trifiing to remember
until a literal viewpoint, somehow,
makes q difference-the difference
between a dry page and a thrill.
When Blue and Gray clashed
colors the Capitol became

behind hags of cement. and where
bakers changed old vaults into bak-

could not obtain elsewhere.
