The New York Doctors;
The new code doctors are victorious.
and the old~coda doctora will havoto
dose themselves with bromide in allo-
phthic quantities to quiet their startled
nerves. At, last. in other words. there la
progress in medicine and in the courtesy
that should prevail between the brethren
of the profession. .And the timemu
even come when a physician may an-
nounce himself a physician and permit
the newspapers to tell where he lives

The Hut Trude.
For once no hatter. wholesale or re-

the weather. It has been simply rfect
for the hat trade ever since the rat of
August. The mixture of rain ratorms
and cool days Could not hare been more
tidiciously administered. had the most
noncial hatter done it to order. and the
result has been a most excellent. trade
all round. l‘ullections armreported as
being unusually-prompt and satisfactory.
and the Fall season of $83 will be looked
back to as a criterion of good trade for
some time tincome. Many of the case
houses are making active preparations
for Spring trade. concerning which
bright nntlclpatlons are in the ascend-
ant. The ladies‘ felt hat trade is dis
veloping unlimited-for possibilities. the
demand being steady and evidently upon
the increase. Journey-men in all branches
have been and are having steadv work
and good wages. and although businem
is dropping off to porno extent. the proo~
pects are good for a continuance for
some time to come. and that the jouts‘
cry of “the dog is .ldend“ will ttot be
heard at ireoetit. The retail trade iti
atlk bats ins not been very active.
although manufacturers have been busy
filling orders for stock. A good trade is
ntitivipnled. hovvever. when be time
comes. which will ie about t cutiddlc

The best play by the best artiststhus
far this season was “Jane Eyre" at the
(l iem Hotlse last Frlday evening. in
w ich Charlotte Thompson appeared as
leading character. This lady isa refined
actress. and it is not asimple boast when
she claims to be “Americas greatest
actress. Opinions may ditt'er on this
point. but all must admit lick superior
endowments and talents. She was very
ably supported throughout. Manager
Mitchell deserves better treatment, than
he received from the public. however.
which did not show a proper appreciation
of the op ionunity afforded them. but
we hope t will not discourage him so
that he will not again risk a financial
failure by offering the best talent that.
can be procured. .
