Tho Empress, who is now at Oorfu, is suffering tortures from rheumatism of the most aculo type, whioh is quite breaking down her norvous system. She is attended by two lady doctors, who wore trained by the celebrated Dr. Metzger, of Amsterdam, and they give her tho massage treatment overy day. The name of the United Statei as a marriage market has extended, it would appear, to Russia. The great democratic republic has become the Tim Tiddler's ground of the poor noblemen ol Europe. In it they can pick up the money, whioh it all that they need to render them the lords of society if not of creation, while all they need to give in return is their name. This is an interesting development ol the attempt to unite a democratic form of government and of society with a system whioh creates a class of privileged plutocrats. The King of Siam is a jolly old fellow and a handsome entertainer. Some Pennsylvania*1* visited him at his oourt awhile ago and were received with royal hospitality. They were ushered into a sumptuous reception-room, where they drank native liquor out of gold mugs, and then were regaled for dinner of twenty courses, the tableware being solid silver of the costliest design. They were afterwards amused by the palace acrobats and given a ride on the King's elephants, The King is as free and easy at a Chicago candidate for alderman: he likes Americans, and there are no such difficulties in the way of presentation to his Majesty as prevail at European courts.

Victoria dwseMyl The New York Herald ot Nov, 14 says:—The earth it now patting through the great stream of meteors which has caused so many celebrated star showers in the historic period. If we could get accurate records of these November displays in ancient times, the myraids of meteors, known a* th. Leonids, that have bombarded the earth wonld appear incredible and alarming. Happily for our planet, it* atmosphere, many milea deep, interposes over our heads an invisible shield, which but very few of these heavenly projectiles can penetrate. The large majority of them are melted and volatilized by heat developed in the arrest of their motion by the air. The earth will pan this time through an attenuated part of the metior ring, and will not encounter its thickest part untill 1899. While, therefore, no such star shower as was seen on November 13, 1866, can be now expected, meteors enough may be observed to show that we are in the orbit of tho Leonids. Ipain seems to be awakening from the social lethargy into whioh she has been plunged for so long a period. One of the signs of the times is that the working classes nre commencing to agitate for reforms, and are demanding many of the rights granted to their more fortunate brethern in England and America. At the recent National Congress of workingmen which met as Barcelona it was determined to enter upon a vigorous political agitation, and a platform was adopted based upon the following demands: Universal suffrage, tho eight-hour system, and the payment of equal wages to women and men doing the lame work. In regard to tho last plank the Spanish labour party is a littlo in advance of the organizations in EngUih-tpeaking countries, and were it possible to enforce by legislative enactment the equal payment of men and women workers, it is probable the effect would be to excludo the women from many employments upon which they are now allowed to enter simply because they demand less wages than men- The pretence of the Prince of Wales it always in demand. Hit great popularity increases with time, and when he can be secured to preside over some ceremonial the success of the affair is assured, As good natured as he is popular, tho Prince is never known to refuse invitations which involve a certain amount of monotonous duty on his part. If he can contribute to the success of a hospital endowment or an educational soheme by attending the laying of a corner stone or a publio meeting to raise fundi, he cheerfully puts himself at the disposal of the promoters of tuch movements. Tbe value of royal countenance in this way it generally recognized as a mott important element. The Prince of Wales was lately asked to be preient at the next Welsh eisteddford (in 1889), but his engagements, he replied, would prevent him from attending on the dates selected by the committee, August 20 and following days, but he could go in the beginning of September, and left it to the committee to say whother or not they cared to alter the dates. The eisteddfod managers unanimously resolved to change the time of the festival so that the Prince and Princess of Wales oould attend. A FLOATING COFFIN. Boston, Mass., Nov. 30.—The achr. M. & A.

Our corrrespondent "Parent' raises a question and makes a suggestion that are well worthy of emphasizing. It is true that British Oolumbia, all things considered,occupies a creditable, if not enviable, position with regard to her ordinary school facilities; but it is open to serious question whether the present school system, at its best, is well fitted to give the youth of tbo country a practical start for life, at all commensurato with their needs, or with the time spent in acquiring their so-called education. Unless supplemented by special education of various kinds, the curriculum of the public, and added,evon, that of the high, schools, manifestly does not fit tho pupil, who has gone through both, for anything in particular. Some, of course, undeniably, are fitted for a higher course of study, which they subsequently successfully prosecute, but the great majority, beyond what they have acquired of the "three R's," have been simply wasting their time, and have to begin, after leaving school, to get their real education. Our correspondent colls attention to the necessity which exists for several business schools or commercial colleges in the province, and suggests the establishment of one in this city, He slso states that it would be encouraged and supported. From what we can learn, and from a general view of tbe circumstances, we believe that it would. In fact, we an informed that money would be liberally subscribed to establish such an institution. A prominent citizen, we have been informed, is forced to sond several of bis children to Spokane, W. T., whore there is a good commercial college, so that they may bo grounded in the rudiments of a business education. If this sort of thing continues, and attains any dimensions, as thore is reason to fear it may, unless tho demand is met at home, it will prove no inconsiderable drain on the monetary resources of the city and province. It is not creditable to us, either, that the necessity exists; while tho prestige of this oity, and of the province, as a desirable place for the better class of immigrants would be very much increased by the establishment of good business colleges here and in tho other cities of the provinco. Let us take the lead and found such an institution in the royal city at any rate. An industrial school is another desideratum, without which our educational system will always be lop-sided and inefficient. We hope to see steps taken in this direction ahortly by the proper authorities, Industrial schools, we believe, have become to bo regarded chiefly a* reformatories, and as suoh they fulfil, in the present state of society,an indispensable function; but it is tolerably nfe to assume that if restlen, mischievous, and criminally disposed juveniles were earlier graduated from tho public schools—for whose studies vory often they have no liking, but rather an aversion, and with little capacity or desire for progress—into properly equipped and conducted industrial schools, they would in most cases find congenial occupation and entertainment in one or other of the manifold operations of such an institution, ond thus would never know the humiliating necessity of a reformatory. These two things—a commercial or business college and an industrial branch school—are wanted to complete our educational facilities, and the sooner they are established the better. We believe that the school system of the country itself could be so; modified as to embrace both, but the matter of the business college we should take into our hands immediately. Speaking of the recent and projected improvements in means for bringipg the celestial worlds within easy reach of the prying optic* of earth's curious mortals, an exchange gives the following interesting forecast: The ohancos are that the moon will be a* well known to Idle inhabitant* of the civilized world a* the interior ol Africa at the preient time. The telescope manufactured by order of tbe late millionaire Liok for the university knownby hi* name in California has enjoyed tbe distinction of being th. largest and strongest in tho world, but it i» likely to undergo a comparative eolipte. Mr. Abram Clark, who made it, haa undertaken th. to*k of making one yet larger and: imm. powerful. Should he tuooetd, as he is perfectly confident that be will, valuable additions may be expected to be- made. to. our knowledge of the world, by which we »re lurrounded. In a recent talk on the subjeot Mr. Clark dis- ► olosed some facta quite contrary to general belief in regard to astronomy. Itfca*,bwn popularly sup- pond that we had reached themax- imumof effeotive telescopes. Tbe big one*,:the leading astronomers told us,duvj!o*ed little of the heavens' wond-rs. And they pointed out that ibe mott import»nt diieoveries of tho present century had beon made by telescopes of a medium size. Henoe the deduction that it was useless to bother with larger lenses. Suoh a theory, of course, gives us little of practical value to hope for from astronomy. With the telescopes now in use we could expect to determine more accurately the distance from the earth to tho sun, or to lay bare more stars, But in discoveries of this kind tlio great mass of humanity con scarcely be expeoted to take any very great interest. It was a verdict of most of tho professionals that tho Lick telescopo would be a failure, so far as adding anything to practical knowledge of the heavenly sphere was concerned, but in this, as in many other instances, they wero mistaken. It has already been demonstrated that, properly constructed and located, a big telescope is more effective than one of smaller size. It has been shown, in fact, that there is practically no limit to the power of a telescope, and that if a sufficiently powerful one can be made, we can bring most of tho planets near enough to examine their overy nook and corner. Tho lens of the now instrument for the university at Los Angeles is to be 40 inches diameter, and Mr. Clark claims tlmt he is able to make one i five feet in diameter—one tbat .will I bring the moon within a few thousand foet of the earth. It is simply a question of time and money— mainly money, as a telescope with a five foot lens, properly mounted, would cost a million dollars. If Mr. Clark's position is true, and there is every reason to believe that it is, astronomy, a science which hns been at a stand for years, will take giant strides. There will be practically no limit to the discoveries it can make, and there should come from it some practical benefits. Each year we will know more of the heavens, and of all sciences astronomy will be changed from the slowest to the most progressive.

DEAR SIRS:—I bought one of your Maxwell Bindets last July, and it has,given me the best of satisfaction in every respect, My grain and straw was very heavy, and a good deal of it was badly lodged, and I thought it could not be cut by machine, but thanks to the Maxwell machine, it picked it up and cut it like a charm, I have visited many of the surrounding farms but have yet failed to see any grain cut so clean as mine. I feel proud of the machine and would strongly recommend the Maxwell above all others. Yours faithfully, dwnogto James Faulkner. ROYAL CITY log Hills Company, Ld. RICHARD STREET, NIW WESTMINSTER.

LEPROSY SAID TO BE NOT UN- L COMMON .AMONG CHINE8E.HERE. 1 Bui rtlende mt the PaUaat* Conctel Them from the Board of Health-Sail Story of a Yonng Oallfornlan Who *T«D a Victim to tho Disease. icomightim.) The recent discovery ot a Chinese leper, named Sam Ling, over tn Newark, and the consequent local excitement thereupon have had quite a marked effect Inre-awakcning N6w Yorkers to aoon* niousneca (/-at there la a vast deal of thla horrible disease wherever there are Chinamen, and that Kew York has a large Chinese population. Out ot prudent consideration for tbe prejudices of white people, who generally believe the disease* Inf ectlouc—an opinion not shared by ths Chinese—our Mongolian neighbors generally take vory good cue to hide away their lepers. Only a few weeks since, an American physician here, learning from a Chinese convert where there was a leper In a far advanced stage of the disease, sought to view the case for the purpose of making a study of it. He found the house, on Mott Street, where the man was secreted, bnt was met on the stairs by a couple of Chinamen who made him understand by signs that they wonld chop his head with A couple of very ugly looking hatchets that they brandished If he persisted In trying to penetrate any farther. He fled, but returned the next day, accompanied by a health officer armed with authority to search the house, It was too late, however. Tho leper had been spirited away during' the night, and whether he Is still kept somewhere in the, swarming hive of Mott street, or was shipped off to Belleville or Newark, none but Chinamen know, and.they will not tell. Whether leprosy is really infections er not, Californlans —who have had moro opportunities to study Chinese life than we ot the East have enjoyed—think that it is, and certainly a good many white people have died of It on the Pacifio Slope. I was perfectly coxnlzant ot one euch case that waa painfully tragic. A young man, treasurer and general manager of a flourishing brewing company, In which he owned an Interest, boarded where I did, on O'Farrell street. I do not think that I ever knew a more genial, generous, clever aud popular, young fellow thanhewos. One day he called me Into his room and directed my attention to a singular spot ou the right side of his neck, where the collar ordinarily covered it. It was about the size of a dime, round, and looked as If painted with zluc-white, or rather as If all color had been extracted from the tissues there.- "Do you know what that 1st" he asked me. I hesitated. While I believed tbat I knew-forlhad already been examining leprosy considerably—it seemed too awful a thing to think tbat my handsome, talented, blithe young friend, whom we all liked so muoh tor his manly worth, had upon him the Ineffaceable brand of that most horrible doom. "I believe yon suspect what It Is, as I do," he went on, "bnt we will seo how It progresses. We may both bo wrong." Some six weeks later he called me In again to look at tho spot. It had grown to the bigness of a silver quarter. And another spot was showing. No doubt was possible. He was doomed, "I know When I caught it; three years ago," here- " marked. We wasted no words discussing the sltuatiou, for we both knew that his condition was hopeless. He simply firmed my baud, saying, "Don't mention b to -anybody." I said, "No." A few days passed, tn whtch he seemed as light- hearted as ever. Meanwhile, as we afterward learned, ho was quietly and systematically closing up all his business affairs. Then ono night as we met lu the hall he shook hands and said, "Goodbye." I understood htm correctly, but could not, under the circumstances, disapprove of his purpose. He went out— aud did not return. Two or three days elapsed. The landlady—a pretty little widow, as good as ahe was charming, to whom he was engaged to be married— was very anxious about him. At his place of business there .was muoh wonderment over his disappearance. His friends, and he had many, were all exercised about htm. The news reached ns that away down In Santa Rosa, In a lonely plaoe by the bank ot a stream, had been found the body of a young man, handsome and well dressed, but withont anything about him to give any clue to i hie Identity, A bullet hole was through hie head and a revolver, with one chamber empty, was itill olutohtd in his right hand. It was eur friend. He had pnt a stop to his leprosy, the only one possible -death. JAMEI B. COMKBLLT* and photographed it down to a size to suit the bodies he had on hand ready for coml'Ination, "There ure various ways for providing fiuipiisiu'* results in photography, thin-i-a that ip ono age would, have bean called magic but in ours recognised as scientific tricks. Tho ghost piatqre,for instance, tn which n shadowy ghost--through which material objects are visible—ts seen between natural attitudes and occupations. That is produced, by an almost tnstan- tnncous exposure of the figure that is to do duty as tbe ghost, followed by a full exposure of tbe figures and properties thnt aro to appear natural. Another novel trick wns shown recently tn apho- to'impli reproduced by a prominent trade journal, which presented the photographer, seated at a table, playing chess with liimsulf sitting on the opposite side of tho table, while he, himself, stood up in tho biick-{round looking at his two selvc.i playing. Tho figures were all on tho -mme negative, which was produced by tlirea micc--sslve exposures of tbe plate, parts thereat being masked each time by a black velvet shutter. Still another trick Is tbat by wlileh a person who likes that sort, of tiling, may appear to be photo* graphed rilling upon n (lying goose, or a fish, or any other desired style of ridiculous locomotion. This Is done by the subjuct holding upon bis lap a huge piece of white or eky-ttnted card with the fanciful figure diawn upon tt. His face appears nbove the upper edge of the card and seems, in the picture, joined to the fuuny littlo bo-Iy mounted on the goose or fish. The statue picture la made by about the same device. But none of these, or* any. other; Ingenious trick yet Invented will enable a rascal'to make an Indecent- picture of a girl without her complicity, so that Its fraudulent character cunnot be detected:0 •**•** David Whchbub, PHOTOGRAPHIC TRICK8. , The Opinion et aa Bxpeit-Aa Indecent Flotnro et a Person Cannot Be Hade without the Complicity ot the Bvlrject —.Remarks on a Brooklyn Scandal* Con composite photographs-1. e„ mads •t different heads and bodies joined—be so produced that they will not show their patchwork quality? That is the question deeply exercising the families and friends of a Urge number of Brooklyn belles just at present, and, sympathetically or other- wise, many other people oso Interested in it. Among the glaringly nnd shockingly Improper pictures recently seised byCom- stookln possession c I an amateur photographer named Brown, who made a business of vending such things, were numbers of tbe vilest character, In which the female faces presented were those of yonng ladles of previously uulmpeached respectability, moving ln Brooklyn's best society. They and their friends affirm that these pictures were made by the wicked photographer taking heads from decent portraits, fixing them upon pictures in lewd attitudes or simple nudities and then making negatives tram those combinations, Brown has told contradictory stories about how they were produced or obtained and Is not -worthy of belief anyway. If the pictures were made np the work must have been very skillfully done, (or ln some of them, tt is averred, the joining line ts not visible, to the naked eye at least, Mr. T.C. Roche, "the father ef photof- rapby"—as he Is known to photographers all over this wintry-being conialted upon the subject,said; "It is possible to Join hoods and bodiei tn that way, so that the line Is absolutely imperceptible only when a collar, necklace or something else Is about the neck to conceal It, It is quite true that, where there Is nothing ot the sort, the negative made from the combination may be so very skillfully touched up as to hide the UM from Uw unassisted eye of om who ll sot a professional, but the expert will do- toot It, even withont a gloss, and anybody with a strong glow will probably make It out, Aphtrtofraphmade ln that way that I oould nob detect I wonld regard ns little short of miraculous, You probably ■ remember that uot a long while since a rascal in .London woo sentenced to long Imprisonment-W or IS years, I thlnk- for making ond vending obscene pictures, made In that way, with Mary Anderson's beautiful head upontliem. It Is nottrue. as bak been stated by a certain New York paper, that the Joining line of those nlo- tnrea oould not be distinguished and that Br. Griffith-Mary's etap-fathe.—had to abandon the prosecution because it was Imposslblo to prove that the pictures bad been made tn that way, The line was shown and the rami wm punished as he richly deserved to be.

"Ho was found in the East River." "How did lie get there t" "Who knows?" said the keeper of the morgue, shaking his head as he turned iway from the unfortunate piece of clay that bad been the subject of our conversation. The question that has no answer could bo spoken over many a pine box with its grewsome contents lying tn the city morgue. There will probably never bo an answer iu tbe case alluded to, for tho body bore no marks by which It could bo ldctiLifluil, and the tide may havo carried it a utrauge journey to tbe spot wboro it was fonnd. The owner had been a poor man, to judge by appearances, and, very, likely, finding himself without work, be went down to tho river, and from there ho will go to the Potter's Field byway of the morgue nnd that will bo the end. Christmas time Is generally prolific ln suicides, for then the man without n home and tho woman wbo dares not return to the homo that waits for her find tbe contrast sharper. The cold, too, Increases, and a long winter stares the unfortunate Inthefucc. So the temporary resting place for the unclaimed dead receives ninny ot such at the Christmas season. Accidental deaths, especially drowning, are far more common lu summer. The fruitful cause is liquor. The inebriate goes to the pier, falls asleep on Its edge, rails off, and the river overwhelms him beforo ho oan regain his senses. The morgue Itself Is a rectangular structure built over the water in the fashion of n bathhouse. It Is at the east end of Twenty-sixth street, and behind tt are' the extensive buildings of the Bellevue Hospital. All the unclaimed dead of the city *:o to this morgue, whether they die in the hospitals, upon the streets, iu the parks or in one of the two rivers that run down on the east and west. About 7,000 is the number per year, and a good proportion of them are entered in the list of "drowned." A human being may come to his death by drowning ln more ways than one, as the First Grave Digger ln "Hamlet" takes home pains to explain, and of those who come to the morgue tt is hard to say whether they sought death or were betrayed to it by accident or a crime. They are found by tho harbor police or by some boatman; and Iii a considerable proportion cf cases tliatist-.il thnt is ever known. The mystery which surrounds these deaths becomes doubly interesting when one reflects that tbe two rivers do not always render a just account. The ocean takes takes many a body and leaves no room. The number ot deaths from drowning that are never explained, certainly that remain absolutely unknown, must be a startling sum. New York has no particular "Jumping off place," or spots to whtch suicides regularly go. Each ot the piers comes in for Its share; tbe Battery has Its patronage, and the lakes of Central Park receive a ftw. ■ | r- ■- ••The Old Woman.** look Into yonder window I What do you seo?

Customs Officer* Search for and Belsea Urge Quantity of Smuggled Coeds last sight. The Setageler Prepares lo Hii by the Light or the Moon bat ts Captured and Jailed* About four yeara ago a Gorman Jew, named J. Shourman, camo to Westminster and opened n second hand store and pawnshop on Front Street, Although dealers in -'OldClo" are not usually addicted to trading in cranberries, Sheurman vent into the cran berry business extensively and made many large shipments to the Sound and to San Francisco. Peoplo wondered that tho man confiuod his exports to cranberries but no particular notice of this idiosyncrasy was taken, though the citizonB of Westminster wore then more diligent in attending to othor people's affairs than thoy aro now. A fow, however, of the must shrewd suspected that tho cranberries woro only a blind, and further enquiry into the niatter proved that Mr. Sheurman was shipping large quantities of opium to the south and reaping therefrom a handsome profit. It wna also learned that he worked in collusion with tho American customs officers who recoived a certain share in the profits. So well did Sheurman flourish in tho opium smuggling business that ho was able to purchase property in Portland to the value, it iB said, of $10,000. After a year's stay in Westminster he moved to the Sound where it is believed he acted as agent for a baud of sinugclers until tho recent war against tlio opium men by tho American customs department mado the business too dangerous to remain in any longer. Successful smuggling is a paying business and no one knew it better than Sheurman, so he set about to find another branch of his adopted profession which would offer profits without incurring danger. New Westminster he remembered with pleasure, and the quiet old place to him seemed to afford the opportunities for a perfect smuggler's paradise. Sheurmau returned here some fire months ago, but only to find that the Royal City was a different place than of old, and instead of a sleepy little burgh with slow going inhabitants he was amazed to find a bustling little city filled with shrewd and enterprising business men. The conditions having altered to bo great an extent he found it necessary to proceed more cautiously, and it was not until about four weeks ago that ho had arranged connections with certain people here to receivo his smuggled goods. The plan was to ship the goods from Seattle to Blnino and from thenco they would be brought to Westminster either by road or water. In tho meantime, while negotiations wero in progress, Sheurman rented tho ground floor of tho Orange Hall and pretended to do a little business in buying and selling old goods. But tho blind was very apparent and did nut mislead everybody, ns he has since found to his cost. Mr, J. S. Cluto, collector of customs, knowing the man of old, had certain suspicion! that his residence in Westminster was not for tlio purposo of legitimate trade, and accordingly gave his officers' tit- BtructionB to koep an eye on him. yesterday certain information was received concerning Showman's first importation of smuggled goods and a portion of the consignment was located iu a hotel on Columbia Street. Arrangements were immediately completed to search tlio house, and about midnight Mr. Clute, along with a well known officer, went to tho houso and made a valuable seizure of cigarettes and playing cards. To Bave himself, tho receiver of tho goods turned Queens evidence. Sherman got wind that hia scheme had been discovered and mode arrangements to fly, but the authorities, who learned hu intentions, decided be should stay. Shortly before 3 o'clock Constable Dominy stepped into the house and quietly arrested Sheurman, who with his wife was dreued and waiting for the carriage which was to land them safely at the southern end of the Semiahmoo trail. Mrs. Sheurman made a terrible row when her husband was put under arrest and pretended not to understand the cause, but when she saw her tears were of no avail she quickly dried them and talked business. She offered 91,000 bail to release Sheurman, bnt it was not accepted and he was convoyed to the lookup where ho spent the remainder of the night. At the police court this morning, Mr. Bole, Q. C, for the crown, asked a remand of 8 days. Cant. Pittendrigh granted tho remand and fixed tho prisoner's bail at $5,000. The manner in which the clues were obtained and tho akih'ul shadowing of tho smuggler until arrested cannot be published at present as thero is more work of tho same kind to be done, but suffice it to say tho whole was very cleverly managed and reflects high credit on the officers who have been working on the case. 1* ■*» »'-■—-—— Accident al Field. A very ssd accident occurred in the C.P.R. yard at Field last night about six o'clock, by which Mr. Dobson, a section man and keeper of the section house there, lost his life. The section gang had been out on the road and were being brought up by a train. Some of the men were in a box car and Dobsun was on top of it He wu leaning over the end of the car talking to some of the men inside when the train stopped, and tho oar on which Dobson wu riding and the ear bohind it coming suddenly together, his head was jammed between thorn, causing Instantaneous death. He is spoken of is a quiet, sober, industrious man, and leaves a widow to bewail his untimely end.—Cahjary Tribune, PERSONAL. John Murray, of Lnngley, is in the eity. T. F. Sinclair arrived home from Kootenay yesterday. Mrs. Beckett, of Port Haney, is a guest at the Oity Hotel. G. D. Brymner and wife returned home yeiterday from a week's visit to the capital oity.

CORRESPONDENCE. t'emmerclal Colleges Wanted. Editor Columbian.—While tho government is doing so much for tho education of the youth of British Columbia; while tbe schoolmaster Is sent so widely abroad over this "sea of mountains" of ours, yot it must be confessed that there Is a great want in our scholastic instruction. We see very many of our young men leave school wholly unfit to acquit themselves in an efficient manner, even in a .lumber yard, not to mention a counting houso. There is not enough practical education imparted. We do not wish to find fault with our school system by any means, but the fact remains that the lock of practical knowledge that some of our young men display, after leaving school is enough to excito tho pity of thier fellow mortals. For our part we rather prefer to be envied than pitied. We think that the want can be supplied by the establishment of a few business schools in our provinco, where, instead of Latin quality, Greek euphony, conic sections, etc., our young men and women shall be taught to transact buslnoss and thereby fitted for the ordinary affairs of life. Wc trust that the proper persons shall shortly be found to start suoh an institution in our oity. They would have our sympathy and support. Parent. Alderman DeBeek's Statement. Editor Colombian.—Dr. Hall's communication in Wednesday's Colombian, in regard to the Board of Health's dealings with the cases of diphtheria at the Cleveland Hotel, is not a fair or true statement. The circumstances are substantially these: Dr. mot mo on the morning of the 2gth inst., and mado a statement In reference to the cases of diphtheria. I asked him to come with me to Alderman Herring's. We took the Mayor with us, I uked him to repeat to the mayor and Aid. Herring, what he told me on the street. He said, "Mr. White is not able to pay me for my services to his children," and he would not work any longer for glory, and would not attend them any longer unless we would agree to pay him. The mayor suggested tbat we go to the health officer, and there make the best arrangements we could, u we would have to employ a physician to look after the children if Dr. Hall would not. Aid. Honing, Dr. Hall and myself went to Dr. Smith's office. I uked Dr. Hall if ho would take charge of the patients and what would bo his fee. He said he thought he ought to be paid u much u Dr. Robertson, who wu quarantined with a small-pox patient at Vanoouver lut fall. I asked him how muoh that was and he said he thought $50 per day; Dr* Smith thought $10; Aid. Herring Baid he would find out, I uked him to do so. He telephoned to the oity clerk at Vancouver, and reported to us that Dr. Robertson had been paid 120 ier day. I again uked Dr. Hall what .ic would attend the patients for per day; he said he would net do It for less than .__. It being noon we left for lunch, On my return, I uked Dr. Smith if he would take charge of the patients, and at what rate. He replied that he would take the cases for 910 per day, I conferred with Aid. Herring and we engaged Dr. Smith. I went with Dr. Smith to the Cleveland Hotel, and, on the way, we met Dr. Hall, who stated that the children were dying, and showed us a letter signed by Mr. White, requesting him to attend his children, I went to the hotel and told Mr. White that we had engaged Dr. Smith to attend his children, u we could not pay Dr. Hall what he demanded, viz; $25 per day, and I thought Dr. Smith quite u good a physician. He said he oould not pay a doctor and would take Dr, Smith. I told him we did not object to his having Dr, Hall, but we eoula not pay him. 1 then gave Dr. Smith charge, and told tho guards not to lot anyone in or ont, unless by his (Dr. Smith's) permission, or an order from the board of health.

It was raining hard, and he disliked to take a drive of two miles, io he directed the child to be held up to the telephone and kept there until it coughed.
