_Opening of the contest, allowing one
swedh in which to deposit them.
‘We have set the date for theisixth of

have ample time in which to hand in
one ballots Low out. After that time
inn lbslltots will be received unless dated
“as stated above.

Cardinal Satolli.
Multitudes of American people will
undoubtedly regret that (Cardinal Sa-
tolli has been called ioother fields of
labor and will soon bid permanent fare-
well to the United States.
During his residence in this country
the ‘Papal Delegate has won the esteem
of all classes. He came here virtually
a total stranger, and while the chief ob-
ject of his mission was to heal certain
«difl'erences which had arisen in the
American branch of the Catholic
church, he has succeeded, by his unob-
trusive personality, his tactful address,
his unaffected piety, his progressive
,spirit, his broad and tolerant Christian-
ity and his sympathy with American in-
stitutions in commanding the sincere
crespect of thousands who are opposed
to his religious views. Still another
object he has accomplished. He has
caused the people (I the United States,
a Protestant nation, to entertain a more
generous and unpreju-liced feeling to-
ward the historic hierarchy he repre-
cents.
Who his successor will be is not difi-
initely known as yet, but whoever he
may be he cannot fail to be successful
'in his work if he faithfully adheres to
the line of policy mapped out by the
eminent ecclesiastic, diplomat and
scholar who was his immediate prede-
cessor. '
Doctors and Advertising.
'It is greatly feared that the medical
profession is in great danger of making
'itself ridiculous in regard to the ever-
troublesome matter of advertising. So
‘ rigid is the professional etiquette in
this particular that an English
medical journal has charged Dr. Kings-
‘ibury with “conduct wholly incompati-
bleiwith the honor and dignity of the
profession,” and asked that ‘he be [held
up to “medical reprobation” ’for per-
mitting himself to be advertised as ‘l‘the
(physician of two hydropathetic estab-
Jishmcnts.” Dr. Kingsbury, having
«decided convictions himself on the sub-
ject of the kind of advertising this med-
ical journal was doing for him, prompt-
.1 y brought suit against the editor for
.damages. _ ‘
When the eminent litigants and
ntheir no less eminent witnesses got into
court the lawyers who are not so par-
aicular about {i little free advertising,
xmturally had some fun with them.
friere is the way the evidence developed:
{For the plaintiff several medical wit-
nesses expressed the opinion that he
' had done nothing unprofessional. For
the defense several other members of
the profession took the opposite view,
.and it was in the cross-examination 0f
two of these gentlemen that the fun
came in. The first of them was Sir
T H E E v:E am- a , G'A-.Z_.E"Ti*rn -‘
Dyce Duckworth. The plaintiff’s coun-
sel put to him the fact that Sir B. W.
Richardson wa- advertised as consulting
physician of an institution in Leicester-
shire. Sir Dyce disapproved of this.
It was then p )inted out that the witness’
own name and his. private address ap-
peared on the widely circulated pros-
pectus of an insurance company to
which he was consulting physician. To
that Sir Dyce could see no objection.
The next witness was Sir W. T. Stoker.
He was asked what he thought of a
physcian’s name and address being
given in an insurance prOSpectus. He
said he thought it was wrong. So it
will be seen th 1t Sir Dvce Duckworth
condemned Sir B. W. Richardson, . Sir
W. ‘T. Stoker con lemned Sir ‘Dyce
Duckworth, and both agreed in con-
demning Dr. Kingsbury. Having in.-
partially considered the conflicting
views as to medical etiquette with which
the court was thus favored, the jury
came to the conclusion that Dr. Kings-
bury’s professional character had been
unjustly aspersed, and awarded him
£150 damages.
What perfectly terrible disclosures
this unhappy trial brought about! The
eminent Sir Dyce Duckwcrth, who dis-
approved of the plaintiff’s lack of pro-
fessional modesty, had. his own name
carried by circulars upon the four winds
as the medical examiner of an insurance
company! Surely he should have been
instantly deprived of his sheepskin and
drawn and quartered before he left the
w tness box. M r. Labouchere’s com-
mints on this case contain this terrible
suggestion, to wit: “It has always
seemed to me that there is a good deal
of humbug about the objections of the
bigwigs of the medical World to adver-
tising. Nearly all are guilty of the
practice themselves in one way or
another, and some are as eagar for a
newspaper puff‘ae the veriest quack.
What an interesting revelation there
would be, for instance, if the editors of
daily contemporaries were to disclose
the sources of the paragraphs which ap-
pear whenever some more or less distin-
of his doctor can be insidiously given
the benefit of a little publicity!” Let
us draw the curtain and shut out the
thought that any doctor truly great in
his profeSsion will permit his distin-
guished name to appear in print if he
can keep it out by any method short of
sawing an arm ofi a reporter or an edi-
tor.

“The Senator from Missouri will sus-
pend while the chair receives a message

Mr. Pruden of the White House stafi"

in hand, but the laughter was so great
that he was unable for some time to
make the usual announcement. »
