London, May 27-One hundred thou

the largest labor demonstration ever
seen in this city.
The parade of the men was their
way of announcing that they will
carry the fight of transport workers
and lockers for better conditions to
the bitter end and to try to blockade
all the ports of England. Immense
crowds lined the streets through
which the long procession passed.
The Amalgamated Society of Water
men, Lightermen and Bargemen,
Joined by the Amalgamated Trades
Labor unions and Labor Protection
League, held the largest demonstra-
ton ever seen in Trafalgar square,
and passed resolutions in favor of a
national stoppage of work
Those in touch with the strik9 lead
ers expect that unless a settlement be
reached in the interim Wednesday
will see the order issued for general
strike throughout the United King
dom.
The leaders expect they will be
able to call out 245,O0O trade unionists
without difficulty ard expect to secure
the support of 100000 nonunionists.
The unrest among the railroad men
is such that it is thought they could
easily be induced to participate in the
dispute.

A MONG the charitable institutions
~ of New York City for the care
and treatment Of disease there Is
one hospital whose name bears testi-
mony to the valua BILE medical work OF
the father OF English medicine, Thomas
Sydenham.
The Sydenham Hospital of New York
was named to honor the memory OF the
prince Of practical physicians" of the
seventeenth century. as Sydenham has
aptly been called.
Thomas Sydenham made no remarka-
BILE discoveries. nor did he find any
specific cures. But by his painstaking
efforts In behalf OF the sick he was
successful beyond the dreams of his con-
temporaries. His own powers of keen
observation taught him more than what
he could learn in the medical schools OF
his day.
He was the highest authority for many
years both during his life and after on
the diseases that go under the name of
fevers. He was more successful than
any one else before him In the treat
ment Of those who suffered from small
pox.
In civilized communities to-day small
pox Is nearly extinct. But in the seven
teenth century 1t was deva stating the
countries OF Europe. For in those days
vaccination had not been devised. Sy-
denham was successful IN curing this
disease when others failed.
He was a man OF great nobility OF
| character and had very lofty Ideals vita
