on, why +. inst. not draw the Drug Stores in
under Governments But if it is only to be
the Rum shops, then I think al liquors
should come in too. Rum is made here in
this Island, and it ls unalterated liquor, but
much of what is imported is some terrible
stuff t. inst. cheap whisky. Making the one
liquor u monopoly is unjust. / will propose
that Government takes over MI Liquors. If
Government will not agree to that, but only
deal with Rum, then it should only be ma
tives who now are employed in this kind of
business, that get an employment in Govern
ment shops, many of them will else feel it o
great loss, aud there is no personals les, no
bone in that.
Il is a very arbitrary way the licenses are
made away with, they have always been re-
newed aud several of the license holders have
a large stock on hand. Fairness should be,
that they get time to get rid of their stock.
But T will propose that all spirits be brought

of all the Islands. it must be consi-
dered necessary, that he reliuquisb ordi-
nary private practice, while OIL the OH,
hand he can very well be allowed ~
give consultations in his home or in the
hospital, with which it is intended, that
the Kings Physician as hitherto, should
be associated as hospital physician. But
under these circumstances, it will be ne.
cessnly to grant the Kings Physician MA
amount in addition to his salary. The sal
AIRY of the Kings Physician has hitherto
been as follows:
AS Kings Physician and Ply
stefan TO the Hospital (Peter's
Farm HospitaD the Official has
received from the Colonial Urea
sury of st. Croix Ill annual sal
airy Fir. 100000
AS Military Surgeon to the
Gendarmes in Christiausted he

AS Quarantine Doctor his per-
quisiteS have annually amount

Total Fir. 5,725. O0
But when the Ki g's Physician is to have
80 limited an access TO private practice as
proposed above, his former pay cannot ia
justice remain unchanged, The additional
grant towards his salary can presumably not
be fixed lower than FL. z, 900 annually, and
it is proposed, that this amount should be
betrayed by the State Treasury, as it is con-
sidered quite reasonable that the State Trea-
sury should contribute towards the supervi-
sion of the public health in the islands, and
it will be difficult for the Colonial Treasury
of st. Crolx to defray the additional ex-
penses.
In this connection it should be pointed
out, that there is much need of u physician
residing in the Midland of the Island. It
has hitherto been impossible to relieve this
want, as ii has not been possible to hold out
the prospects of a sufficient income 10 any
such physician. But when it is so arranged
hat the Kings Physicians access to private
practice is limited, it may be supposed, hat
a part of his practice will accrue to the Ply
stefan in the Midland, and when a grant from
the Colonial Treasury has been st cured for
him, and the duties of the Military Surgeon
for the Gendalmes at Kjngshill have been
transferred to him, it will presumably be
possible, from a financial point of view, 10
cre"te a satisfactory position for a physician
i'll the Midland.
Until such physician has been appointed,
the Kings Physician must however be-
allowed to have private practice, also by
visits to the honses, in order to secure the
necessary medical assistance for the Midland,

OVER TO DAVENPORT

Local Knights of Columbus who are
planning to attend the Supreme Con.
vention of the Order which is to be
held in Davenport, Iowa, July 31st to
August 5th, have signified their inten.
tion Of making the trip over the Rock
Island Lines. Arrangements have al.
ready been made with the railroad
officials providing special cars for the
visiting delegates. The delegates will
probably leave Minneapolis at 1880
on the evening of July 3Oth and will
reach Davenport on the morning of
July 31st at sos. 1t is likely that
they will make the special cars their
headquarters during their stay in the
Iowa city, owing to the limited hotel

understood, and carried into execution,
said DR.. George w. Young, o. d. the
eye specialist of 9O9 goth Ave. NJ. in
the course of conversation regarding
the matter. The doctor is one of those
professional men who delight in keep
ing abreast of their professions. and
whose professional zeal does not be.
gin to lag after the credited diploma
is obtained. Upon being requested to
discuss the effect of the operation of
the new act the doctor went on to saw:
The function of the optemetrist un-
der the new law is strictly limited to
the fitting of lenses and glasses and
the measurement of the powers of
vision. He is thus sharply differenti.
ated from the oculist who treats dis.
eases of the eye and the optician who
merely grinds the lenses.

PRIEST INvENTs DEVICE FOR
LESSENING DANGER OF
WRECKS.

Seeks No Patent-WiII Give Invention
to Humanity.
An automatic device by which trains
in danger are stopped without action
of either the trainmen or the tower
man, has been invented by Rev. Thos.
J. Glynn, of Beaver Falls, Pa, who ex-
planned the working of the invention
as follows:
1.-The invention is very simple in
FORM A fine steel rod is attached at
one end of the arm on the signal
tower. At the other end of the rod,
near the brake, lever is attached.
When the signal arm raises to the dan
ger sign and train-stop point, it pulls
the rod and erects the track lever. An
other lever is extended from the en-.
gine of the passing train. When this
engine lever comes in contact with the
brake lever it sets the air brake and
stops the train without the aid of the
engineer or the tower man."
Father Glynn seeks no patent, but
gives his invention to the world fol
the good of humanity and the travel
ing public.

He paid tribute to the parents whose
hopes had been so fully realized and
referred to the fact that the aged
mother was still living in Austria.
The Rev. Aloysius Pirnat preached the
