and alert always in the search for
clinical material. are not especially
lnquisitive as to the financial stand
ing of the man with a cataract or an
interesting fracture or a rare dis
ease who applies for treatment.
Nor is poverty the only considera-
tion that influences sick nan or
woman to prefer 4 hospital dispen-
sary to the advice of the physician
in the next block; it may be con-
viction on the part OF the patient
that the hospital offers higher pro-
feSsional skill and more chance of
recovery than can be expected rea-
sonably from the ministrations of
some third-rate practitioner. The
medical societies and medical Jour-
mails unite in declaring there are too
many medical schools and too many
physicians, and the public, even in
its lower strata, is getting around to
the conviction that this comes pretty
near the fact.
If the competition of the hospitals
and the tendency to seek and accept
their free treatment result in the
elimination of some members of the
profession now practicing in Phila-
delphia, that city, we suspect, will
not regard it as an unmixed calam-
ity, and if the same thing should
happen in Washington we could re-
strain our own tears without much
trouble.
This experience, indeed. is a mere
step toward the socialization of med
icine, to which many leaders of the
profession look with confidence, of
which preventive medicine is one
manifestation and which has had an
other manifestation in the endow-
ment by the Rockefeller Foundation
of three full-time professorships in
the Medical School of Johns Hopkins
University, at Baltimore. Its ideal
is the best medical and surgical at
tention for every rank and grade of
society-a kind of attention now at
tainable in practice only by the rath-
er well-to-do and tho very poor.

Police in Quandary
Over Check Case

Police Of Washington and Richmond.
Va, are puzzled today to know what
disposition to make of the case of
Louis A. Ciucci, the young Richmond
tailor. who got hold of certified check
for s225.oo0 of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road and deposited 1t to his own ac-
count at the North Capitol Savings
Bank. in Washington
At the bank, Ciucci wrote after his
name on the back of the check the
words agent c. & o. railroad
The police contend that this consti-
tutes a technical forgery, and that the
prisoner can be tried IN this jurisdic-
ton on that charge. The polics have
notified the Richmond authorities that
he will be surrendered TO them on pre-
sentation Of a warrant. but IL he Is
taken back to Richmond, the police
say they do not see on what charge
he can be tried. as no overt act was
committed in Virginia.
Ciucci told the detectives. they say,
that he had been drinking. and did
not realize what he was doing when
he deposited the check.

THE PARLOUS STATE OF
SOME PHYSICIANS.

The parlous state in which the
medical profession IN Philadelphia
finds itself was revealed in a report
made by DR.. Joseph D. Farrar, OF
that city, chairman Of committee
on hospital abuses Of charity, to the
American Medical Association. ic-
cording TO DR.. Farrar, 80 per cent
of the physicians in the City OF
BrotherIy Love are receiving from
10 cents to 80 cents for Office con-
situations.
Here is the meat of DR.. Farrar'5 ;
findings:
Recently it has coma to my knowledge
that = few years ago 10 per cent of the
physicians in Philadelphia were dis
p..nsing medicine. and today at least 80

i:eeping dispensaries and hospitals from
getting their patients.
Whether these statistics are
mathematically accurate, there can
be little question of their essential
truth; neither will anyone doubt
that responsibility lies at the door of
the hospitals, offering free treatment
practically to all corners and taken
advantage of most assuredly by
many persons well able to pay for
advice or operation. "Taken adyant-

THE DRUNKARD BECOM.
ING MORE RARE.

81 have not seen drunken man in
New York in year." said Sheriff
Grifenhagen to convention of wine
growers in Sandusky. Whether the
Ohio men believed it or not, the
sheriff's statement is probably tha
literal truth. Drunkenness has gone
out of style in the cities. In the last
ten years it has grown steadily less.
In spite of the figures on the con-
sumption of spirits, which show an
increase, the fact remains that few
New York men now make intoxica-
ton their pastime. There may be
more drinkers, but there are fewer
drunk.
Some attribute the improvement
to the demands of modern business.
Efficiency and alcohol don't get along
together. Others will insist that
women, with their supposedly
stronger influence, have brought
about the good results. Your dancing
enthusiast will tell you that the tan
go is the foe of the highball; but
whisky to excess was on the wane
before the dancing craze began.
Then there is amusement, includ-
ing the outdoor sports, which keep
a mans mind away from the cup.
Most men who drink too much do so
because they have nothing more at
tractive to divert them. There are
now so many healthful diversions
that excessive rum goes in the dis
card.

WHO HAS NO. 9OS2.
A Piano is Waiting for Somebody, at
Beneseh's Main s. Store.

Every year at Christmas time. th
firm of Isaac Benesch g. Sons give
away a piano. Those who expect
10 get the piano are purchasers st th,
store, every purchaser Of 81 worth o.
goods or more being given a tieket
with a number, a &C responding cou
pom being retained by the firm.
On a certain date the drawing
takes place in one of Benesh's show
windows, judgeEbeiug present. The
drawing is ione by a young lady pre-.
viously voted for, who has been pre-.
sented a desk for receiving the lArg-
est number of votes. This was all
done this year according to custom OF
the past six years, for FIVE pianos
have alrt ady been given away by this
drm, on this principle of patronage, at
the store. The drawing this year
took place on New Years Eve night,
and was conducted after the fairest,
most just method The young lady
was blindfoldtd and drew the mum
bers from a large glass case.
There were nineteen numbers
drawn, each time the coupons being
shaken up well before drawn Then
there was a pause and twelve more
numbers were drawn, the thirteenth
having been decided 20 be the "lucky
number All Of the nineteen end
the twelve numbers were put back in
to the ballot box before the thirteenth
Tor really the 'thirty-second) number
was drawn, thus giving everybcd dy an
equal opportunity.
Nothing could have been fairer.
The number drawn was "90S2, " but
up 10 this time the owner of the cou.
pom bearing this number has not come
forward The firm OF Isaac Benesch
& Sons is desirous of getting rid OF
the piano. 1t is really in the way.
81 me one has this number-90S2, but
who is it'll 1t is not practicable to
hold another drawing, as many per-
sons that night discarded their cou-
puns. Besides, some one, months
hence might come forward with the
9,08z and claim the piano, and the
finn would be obliged to give it up.
An effort has been made to find the
party holding the lucky number, and
mel in the employ of the firm have
been sent throughout the county
where purchasers at the store reside.
So far the numbers e,091 aud
9,0S3 Gust above and bel)w) the
lucky number, have been traced at
Camp Parole. IL is thought the claim
ant of the piano must be near Fa-
role, but everybody far and near is
requested to look at their coupons
again and examine their numbers.
AS the firm wants to give the piano
to whom it belongs.
