Durinc the heated discussion which pre
ceded the passage of the McKinley hill
the fiht raced hottest around the portion
of the measure imposing the tin plate duty.
Opponents of the tax lost all sense of
moderation and indulged in the wildest
statements coinciding only with their de
sires, and destitute of all logical reasonins.
They asserted that consumers would suf
fer enormously from an increase in price,
and that the tin plate industry could never
bo established in this country.
Not quite a year has passed since the
duty came into effect, but the experience
of even that short time has been such as
to absolutely contradict the prophets who
foretold calamity because they wished it
The price of tin plate has not risen to any
appreciable extent, in fact it can hardly
be said to have increased at all. Hun
dreds of plants have been set up for the
manufacture of tin plate, and their youth
ful activity absolutely insures that when
they have reached maturity the American
manufacturer of this commodity will be
more than competent to supply the Amer
ican demand for it. The multiplication of
establishments, and the increase In output
by thos2 already under way, are too rapid
for the statistician to keep pace with,
though figures are readily obtainable to
confute the opposition and demonstrate
the foresight of the fraraers of the meas
ure by indisputable evidence that their ex
pectations have been more than realized.
"Nor is other proof wanting from those
whose unwillingness to give it is a valua
ble indication of Its reliability. The
closing down of one foreign manufactory
alter another, and the transfer of the cap
ital involved to this country for the in
auguration of new mills, is incontest
able evidence that a continuance of this
Piotective policy will in a very few years
establish America's industrial indepen
dence of the world in this department, as
ip all others where it is used.
Protection is the cause at issue m this
yepr's campaign, and the men who ridi
culed the McKinley bill will find that the
progress which its provisions lave already
secured will return to trouble them as an
inefulable argument asrainst the removal
of the defenses which have proved so val
uable. AS ONPB GRESSIVE ACTION.
At yesterday's meeting of the American
Honoeopathic Institute at Washington the
question of disciplining members of the
body who have resorted to 'advertising in
one form or another was brought, up.
There are few. things so foolish as the so
called "ethics" of the medical profession.
And amoni those ethics there is nothing
so artificial as the objection to advertising.
The artificiality of the matter is clearly
demonstrated by the readiness of numer
ous practitioners to display their names
in the press whenever they can do so m
connection with some successful course of
treatment or some skillful operation, pro
vided only that they can do it without be
coming liable to the technical charge of
advertising.
The greatest weakness of medical
science is its clinging to old forms,
and its general conservatism. Mem
bers of other professions and
businesses realize that they must keep
pace with the times, and that to do so they
must place then: claims before the public.
Such bodies as the one above mentioned
stigmatize as quacks men who use the
press and pay for it, because they make
use of secret formulae. Tet they seek to
enshroud themselves in a mystery that is
deeper than any of these secret formulae
and which makes the creation of a practice
dependent rather on social, abilities and
family or other private Influence than on
direct exhibition of skill in the treatment
of infirmities.
Sixty years ago some of the leading
physicians of the Eastern States had no
scruples against advertising to the best of
their ability, and the caste restrictions of
the day that forbid such practices aren a
measure responsible for the slow progress
of medical science, surgery excepted, as
compared with other departments of
human endeavor.
SUMMER SHRINKAGE.
A day or two more of weather such as
we have had for several days and Pitts
burg can almost be seen to shrink in point
of population. It is the time of 3 ear when
you go to a man's office andfindtacked up
on the door, "Back in half an hour"
which.really means he will return in Sep
tember. It is the "time for disappearing"
on the part of Tom, Dick and Harry,
whom you have.been accustomed to meet
daily in a casual way. If you inquire for
them you can get no definite Information
beyond a vague belief that they are out of
town. A week later you see in your paper
that they are at the seashore, or in the
mountains, or fishing out "West They will
come back when it is cooler. This is par
ticularly true of the good fellows, those
dear, delightful chaps who seem to have
no particular business except to find
amusement They are the swallows
whose departure marks the coming of
summer just as the real ones do its advent
A little later will begin the hegira in
which everybody takes more or less part
We are a nation of railroad ticket buyers
and hotel bill payers, and it is a good thing
for all concerned, particularly for the rail
roads and hotels. Our season of outing
is not of days or dates but of the ther
mometer. If the dealers in weather will
turn their attention from tornadoes and
"sich" and give us the red-hot summer
which Prophet Hicks has been telling of,
there will go up"k chorus of blessings from
Uj
the managers of resorts who had such a
bad time of it last year. The indications
are that a great many people will spend
more time and money this year than usual,
and the country will be the better for It
when the exciting questions connected with
the Presidental election arise with the
eaf ly frosts.
IT IS OUTSIDE or POLITICS.
A cotemporary yesterday made a noisy
onslaught against the iron and steel manu
facturers lrom a political point of view
for seeking to reduce their employes'
wages on the-ere of a Presidental cam
paign. It Intimated fh no covert way that
men who contribute to campaign funds
tor the-furtherance of Protection while
trying to lessen their labor expenses are
guilty of a serious inconsistency. The
logical view of the question is entirely
opposed to that set forth above. Manu
facturers desire Protection from motives
of patriotism, self-interest and the belief
that it involves the greatest good of the
greatest number They give evidence of
their sincerity by providing the sinews of
war, and using all the Influence at their
disposal for the furtherance of the cause.
On the other hand, they naturally enough
desire to make the best terms possible for
the labor which they employ.
Again, the men are no less anxious to
obtain the highest rate of wages within
their reach. The question is one alto
gether outside the field of politics, and
should be decided in a business-like way
on its merits after a proper discussion of
the conflicting demands. The fact that a
discussion occurs at this 'time when
political feeling is running high so far as
its date has any significance at all, is
simply indicative that the manufacturers
believe that they have a strong case.
The suggestion that an attempted re
duction of wages shows that Protection is
not good for the workingman is ridiculous
in the extreme. The matter, according
to statements furnished the public, is
simply one of improved machinery and a
fall of prices, and a difference of opinion
as to how they should affect the pay scale.
Without Protection the workingman
would never have reached a position from
which he could exercise any influence in
deciding what payment he should receive.
Let the decision of the question at issue
between employers and employes be what
it may, the attempt to make political
capital out of it must end in the failure
which the taking of an illogical position
invariably entails. There is neither a
manufacturer nor an employe who
seriousy considers the matter that can
remain unconvinced that he is personally
the better for Protection. Again, there is
no thoughtful American of any occupa
tion whatever who, regarding the question
without prejudice and from an unbiased
point of view, can fail to admit that the
Protection of American industries Is the
best thiug for America.
FOOLISH FALSE ECONOMY.
It is reported that the conferees on the
river and harbor appropriations bill have
stricken out the clause providing a modest
sum for a survey of the Ohio River and
Lake Erie Canal. Such a decision would
reflect the greatest discredit on all respon
sible therefor. It was bad enough that a
canal scheme of less importance should
receive a grant for actual construction
while this one,of such great national impor
tance, was staved off with a mere pro
vision for a survey. It was worse that
little, insignificant local improvements,
in places of which no one outside tb am
has heard, should absorb public funds -on
a log-rolling basis while a matter of Im
mense national value was comparatively
left in the lurch. But to drop out even
the provision for a survey of this water
way, which would do so much to open up
the country industrially, and be :o useful
in time of war if any such should occur
would be simply scandalous.
That the sums in the river and harbor
bill are distributed on a basis of folly is
well known. But the. elimination of an
amount so small for a purpose so wise,
while vast provisions remain formatters
of purely local significance and of very
little worth at that would establish be
yond all doubt the cnminal false economy
which is the basis for the acts of the
Fifty-second Congress.
TO MAN THE N "YY.
In an interview elsewhere 'in this issue
are some pertinent remarks on the
necessity for finding sailors . to man the
new navy. Even wib the px'sting vessels
there is considerable difficulty in properly
fi'ling the demand for able seamen. The
remedy is obvious. The inducements to
seafaring life must be increased to com
pete with the attractions of other open
ings for the youth of to-day. A spirit of
adventure was in the older days the chief
aid in recruiting men for the navy. But
the opportunities for stirring lives in In
land trade and industries are such at
present as to outweigh this feature of sea
faring life.
Then, too, there should be more train
ing vessels established. They could be
made to work very successfully in con
junction with reformatories for dealing
with first offenders, for their discipline
would oe the best of all correctives and
they would be turning out men whose
value to themselves and the public would
repay the amount expended on them
better than does the present system. We
are beginning to acquire a navy commen
surate with our needs, and it Is about
time that steps were taken to secure
men for it
COMMENCEMENT DATS.
These be the days of commencements.
Youths who for the most part have long
achieved the summit of manhood in their
own estimation are now about to do battle
with their fellows in the world in earnest
Their hopes are to be launched on the
treacherous sea of reality. Their resolves
are to buffet with the waves of circum
stance. Their aspirations are to meet and
conflict with the winds of expediency.
He who leaves college feeling that his
education is finished will iearn little and
not make much mark. He who enters
the fuller life with a realization of his own
ignorance and a determination to make
the most of his enlarged opportunities
will achieve a place worth holding. The
comparatively narrow study of books and
theories must give way to the limitless
investigation of human nature and its
multitudinous practices.
The nation expects much from its youth.
May the class of 1892 satisfy the nation's
expectation. Ko grander destiny than
that of being real patriotic Americans is
open to them. And the best wish that can
be formulated for them is that they shall
be in all things gentlemen worthy of their
citizenship.
The Chicago wigwam, like the platform
of the party that is to use It, Is more danger
ous to the Democrats than to tbe nation.
Yesterday's weather had altogether
too much geniality about it. It is at such
seasons as this that folic unable to lire ex
cept by the sweat of their brows feel a pecu
liar spite against the lady and gentleman
who inaugurated sin and deprived their
successors of the Garden of Eden while
providing them with a precedent that
clothing was a necessity to human exist
ence. Those Ulster men who are threatening
all sorts of dieadful warlike things in case
Ireland should be granted Home Bute are
ohooslngapecullarway of emphasizing their
law-abiding qualities, of which they have
made so inncb boast while things haye been
managed almost exclusively for the benefit
of themselves and the absentee landlords.
A great many people are busily en
gaged in idleness at present trying to flna
out what the wild waves are saying.
The paving of Market street between
Fifth avenue and Liberty street was being
patched up with asphalt yesterday. If the
traction people get in these in spite of the
piotests of property holders, any paving be
yond the rails for street cars will be an en
tirely unnecessary luxury, as all traffic will
be blocked out.
Cleveland may be a coiner or phrases,
but his doctrines are lite the dollars he ad
vocatesworth only seventy cents.
It looks now as though a week or two
would see the recognition of the Venezuela
revolutionists as "the government." And
probably a month or two after that they will
be found in the field against the forces of
some new rebels that want a turn at the
reins of office.
A bung factory has been destroyed in
West Virginia. Will this in any way affect
the bar'ls in this fall's campaign?
One thing should be clearly understood
in estimating the Democratic situation.
Tammany cares little what sort of a man is
nominated as candidate for President, but it
cares a very great deal about having con
tiol of tbe local patronage.
Women were conspicuous at Minneapolis,
but Boies will attract a good deal of atten
tion at the Chicago convention.
He who lives through a day without
making a single voluntary or involuntary
comment on its warmth is worthy of all re
spect as a man of remarkable originality.
But he has yet to he discovered.
Bismarck II. is to be married on Tues
day, but the Bl-marok dynasty will not sur
vive its originator.
He who is willing and unable to con
tribute to the Fourth of July fund is less to
be pitied than he who is able and unwilling.
But surely Pittsburg has tew American citi
zens of either kind.
Cheap passenger rates to Chicago will
leave so much the more for political and
social expenses.
Hot though it va3 yesterday the Pitts
burg team Just managed to make the Chi
cago nlavers realize the difference between
a dead heat and one run to the advantage of
the home men.
The blind are sightless, but a site for the
new Western Pennsylvania Institute has
been selected.
The insecurity of the Democratic wig
wam at Chicago may have a good effect tn
showing the folk at the convention that
uproar would be unsafe as well as unseemly.
It is sincerely to be hoped that there
will bo no strike, though the iron is certainly
getting hot.
If Hill retains the faintest hope now of
securing enoush votes to nominate him he
must be ci edited with a sytem of addition
ai)d subtraction that is peculiarly his own.
There ere to be a superfluity of pillars
in the Chicago wigwam, but not pillars of
the State.
Minnesota is indeed in hard luck. The
State has not yet had time .to recover from
the upheaval of a National Convention be
fore it is visited by a terrible tornado.
All sorts of leaves are thick just now.
Even leaves of absence are showing up well.
Senator Peffer's scheme to lend
everybody something on nothing is a pic
turesque example of thought gone estray.
Criminal energy is the only kind that
increases as the thermometer goes up.
MEN AND WOMfN.
Consul General John C New sailed
for London yesterday to resume his duties.
Mrs. Delia Parnell, mother of the
late Charles Stewart Parnell, sailed from
Queenstown on the Germanic yesterday.
A daughter of Director General Davis,
of the World's Fair, has Just taken the
prize at Laselle Seminary for btead baking.
Mrs. P. T. Barvum, widow of the
showman, is annoyed by a Bridgeport
crank, who thinks that she wants to marry
him.
A London paper aserts that Mme. Patti
will receive $202,500 for her next year's
American tour, or $4,500 apiece for IS con
certs. Mr. Thomas H. Sherman, United
States Consul at Liverpool, has been granted
leave of absence to visit this country. The
report that be had resigned wai made on the
authority of Mr. Smith, a clerk in the State
Department.
The only soprano in the world who makes
higher tones than Patti is said to be Miss
Sibyl Sanderson, daughter or Judge Sander
son, of San Fianclsco. In addition to her
musical powers she is said to possess charms
of person and to be very clover.
Edward S. Willard, the eminent
English actor.sailed from New Tork Wednes
day on the City of New Tork for Liverpool.
He will return to the American stage next
October with a more extended repertory,
including some of the great characters in
Shakespeare.
William A. Baldwin has just resigned
the Vice Presidency of the Rochester and
Piitsburg Railroad, and will sail for Ireland
next week on a business trip. His letire
ment from this road is taken as proof that
it will pass under the control of the New
Tork Central.
A COLORED WOMAN IN LUCE.
She Is Made the Owner of a 8200,000 For
tune by a Supreme Conrt Decision.
Wythe villi, Va., June 16. The Supreme
Court ot Appeals to-day decided the cele
brated Bettie Lewis-Thomas case in favor of
the plaintiff. By this action a colored
woman of Richmond becomes the possessor
of an estate valued at about $200,000.
Her rather, W. Thomas, who was a white
man, died In 1880, at the home or this
daughter and left no will. Relatives of the
deceased, as well as Bettie, engaged some of
the ablest legal talent in the State and
sought to obtain possession of the prop
erty. The Chancellery Court decided in
lavor or Bettie, and the Supreme Conrt
affirms that decision.
Sirs'4 Harrison Slowly Improving.
Washisgtoit, June 18. Mrs. Harrison is
slowly but steadlly.gainlng in strength, and
is now able to walk a little every day. In
case her improvement continues she will be
taken to the Adirondack Mountains, on the
first proximo, to remain during tbe summer.
The President, Mis. SIcKee and Mrs. Dim
mick will probably accompany her to the
mountains. The President will return to
Washington almost immediately and re
main until Congress adjourns, when he will
go to Cape May.
JUi Editor's Contribution to the Fair.
Chicago, June 16. Celonel Slngerly, pro
prietor of the Philadelphia Record, intends
to make an exhibit of a steer in tbe Agri
cultural Department of the World's Fair,
which for weight and generally fine condi
tion will excel anythlug In the record of
steers if exhibited. The steer Is to weigh at
least 5,000 pounds, and will probably weigh
over that.
TALK OF THE TIMES.
"It is time for the older and more con
servative banks and financial institutions
in Pittsba rg to get a clearer view of the sit
uation." Ho who said this has been a banker in an
Important way in Pittsburg tor more than
40 years.
"Tbe sooner these concerns understand
that this is a five percent city tbe better it
will be for them. Philadelphia, Boston and
New Tork have been on a five per cent,
basis for years, and Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and Chicago are also with them. I know of
one large money lending institution which
has been losing excellent mortgage because
It still insists on placing them at six per
cent., and this will continue and increase.
Our banks will come to this policy
in a year, and t.ioso who have alreay taken
advantage of tbe market wiiU have the
cream of the investment business. Only
last fall I tried to get one of turf banks to
lend $23,000 on real estate worth $60,000 at 5
per cent. The property brought in an in
come of $1 500. and the interest charge would
have been but $1,230, and the time was 15
years. The mortgage was refusod, but
within a few days I placed it with an indi
vidual investor. So much private money is
going into low rate investments
rather than speculations or active business,
that the organized traders in money must
come down. It will be a blessing to the city
when it becomes more general, and will go
a long way toward rebuilding the lower part
of the city.
There were three of us in the party. An
old clergyman and a middle-aged business
man were tbe two others. The man of af
fairs was in a hurry and soon left, and after
he had gone tbe clergymun said, with a
smile: "I always watch that man with great
interest. I try to find , out what sort of a
person he is, how he lives and what his ideas
are. In a shadowy sort of way I feel as If I
was burdened with a kind of responsibility
as to him. I was the tbe pastor of his
father's church. There were five or six
children, and I was the clergyman who bap
tized them. At last a boy was born, and
months passed without any word from
the father as to when the lit
tle one should be christened. Finally
I spoke to the father about it and asked
when he intended to baptize the boy. He
was a queer man, read much, speculated a
great dealas toieligion, and now and then
had the strangest ideas. Tou can imagine
how I felt when in reply to mv Question he
said emphatically, 'Never!' 'Tou don't in
tend to nave him baptized?' I exclaimed.
'No, I don't. I've had all the others chris
tened, but I intend to let this chap alone and
see how ho turns out without it.' Nothing I
could ever Bay would change him and at last
the subject was diopped and he has not
been baptized up to this time." "And how
Iirs he turned out?" I naturally inquired.
"Well," said the clergyman, hesitatingly, "I
must say that he is an honest, earnest man
and apparently a Christian, and yet " and
he shook his head as if he did not like it at
all.
"I think that the refinery-industry at
Titusvllle and Oil City will never recover
from the effect of the leoent flood and fire,"
said a leading oil operator yesterday. "This
is because of the distance of these places
from tbe present large sources of oil supply.
The refineries were built at those points
when they were tbe centers of the oil pro
ducing region. Pittsburg is now the place
for refineries, and such or the Oil City and
Titusvllle owners as are In a position to re
build will no doubt come to this city. I un
derstand that it is not tbe intention of the
Standaid Oil Company to rebuild the burned
works. Pittsburg is on the trunk lino of
pipe to the seaboard, and has superior ad
vantages of almost every description. The
oil which is being pnmrjed in tho old fields
costs more, of course, than that in tho new
ones, which is clearly In favor of Pittsburg
as a refining point."
A distinguished party of Democrats,
mostly from the South, passed through last
night on their way to the Chicago Conven
tion. Like a party of innooent and unsus
pecting sohool boys the Colonels and poli
ticians rnshed along the Union station plat
form while their tiain remained In the city.
Caleb W. West, ex-Governor of Utah,
with bis hair and whiskeis white as chalk,
seemed to be In charge of the Jolly crowd.
He looked the oldest, but he seemed the
jounirest in the party. He believes that
neither Cleveland nor Hill will be nom
inated by the Democrats. "Iamfora dark
horse," tbe ex-Govei nor said. "I don't caie
who the dark horse may be, but I think
Democratic success depends on throwing
ovei board all our old candidates. The Re
publicans bad an old candidate inflicted
upon them, and we muse avoid any such
calamity."
Captain Sam Donaldson, of Tennea-
kee, ex-Doorkeeper of the Lower House of
Congress, with the air of a Southern soldier
and the appearance of a genuine good fel
low, was of the same opinion. He wants a
dark horse nominate!, and he believes that
either Carlisle or Springer would be the
proper equine. "We can elect any Demo
crat that will unite ourparty," Captain Don
aldson fald. "Tho nomination ot Cleveland
would be fatal, and the nomination of Hill
would be foolish."
Senator V. L. Polk, of Tennessee,
said that in his judgment Carlisle is the
strongest Democrat in the party. "We can
elect Carlisle." he said, "but lor that mat
ter," be added as an amendment, "I am con
fident we can elect anynian uamea oy tne
Cnieago Convention. This, I think, will be
a great year for Democrats."
Abraham Schwab, an anti-Hill Demo
crat, said that Cleveland was the strongest
man in the Democratic party. He believed
that Cleveland would be nominated and
elected. "Of comse, the convention may
question tho wisdom of nominating Clove
land, but we'are going there to say thatany
Democrat can carrv New T01 fc, whether lie
comes from the North or South."
Colonel E. G. Monroe, of New York,
said he was not a delegate to Chicago. He
is going there for the fun he can have with
his associates. "I am for Flower for Presi
dent," Colonel Monioo said, "but I will be
content whether it he Cleveland, Hill or
Flower, Jus; so the candidate is taken from
our State."
Colonel L-. Q. Washington, of Wash
ington, D. C, said he was going to the con
vention to help howl for the nominee, no
matter who he may be. "I am anti-Cleveland
man" he said, "but as I don't care for
any office, I don't care much who is nom
inated." Charles Conda, of New York, said he
was going to tbe convention for Cleveland
first, last and all the time. "New Tork
elects the Presidents," he said, "and we
must have Cleveland if we hope to win this
time." Colonel! Wiles Ross, a delegate at
Iaige trom next jeisey. wasiot the same
opinion. He said that Cleveland and Cleve
land's policy will guarantee Democratic
success. "Other candidates mentioned
might pull us through," Colonel Ross said,
"but with Cleveland there is absolutely no
hope for the Republicans." E. Burgess, a
delegate from Arizona, also said that Cleve
land is the man most wanted by the West
ern Democrats!.
A. D. Jones, ot Baltimore, said that
Senator Gorman would be tho strongest
candidate that could be named by his party.
"All we claim for Gorman is his rare ability
and his true blue Democracy,'' Mr. Jones
said. "If the convention will allow Mary
land to name the candidate we will
guarantee success this fall."
Senator Flinn and Chief Brown, on
their return from the Minneapolis Conven
tion yesterday morning, declaied that Har
rison yould bo re-elected, that he bad given
a good administration and that, it was the
bounden duty of every Republican and anti
free trader to cordially support him. They
had been opposed to him as a second term
candidate in the contention and had been
for Blaine against the world, but, as Harri
son had secured the nomination, would turn
in and do all they could to secure his re
election. Colonel Jos. Bichey, of Missouri, was
probably the hottest anti-Cleveland man in
the party. He said that Cleveland cannot
be elected. "We want a Democratic candi
date. Senator Carlisle started for Chicago
to-day,and his mission there is to tell the del
egates that the nomination of Cleveland
would be fatal to our party."
M. B. Keller, ot Iowa, was the only
Boles howler in the pariy. "If wo can beat
Cleveland on the first ballot I think Boies
will be the candidate." Mr. Keller con
tinued: "Our platiorm will be the outs
against tbe ins, and I think that is the most
popular of all the political issues, lioies is
an old New Yorker and he can carry his
native State. We want him as the candi
date because we believe we can elect him."
- A HEW PASTEUR INBTITTJTI
To Be Erected in New Tork, and an Ap
propriate Horns It Will B.
New York, June 16. Special. The Pas
teur Institute is to have a new home. It Is
to move from Us present stuffy quarters
Into a large, handsome and roomy building,
especially erected for It on the northwest
corner of Ninety-seventh street and Central
Paik, West. This building is yot to be con
structed, but that will be done before next
winter. The new work of the lnstltuto will
be not altogether the treatment of hydro
phobia by the Pasteur method, for Dr.
Glbior says he has found from his two years
of experience in trying to conduct an In
stitute solely for that pnrpose that the field
is not broad enough for its support. He has
tieatcdLSOO persons who have been bitten
by dozs 01- other animals, though but 330
were actually Inoculated with the virus for
rabbles.
The Pasteur Institute proper will only 00
cupy the basement of tho tmlldlnjr, the five
stories above that and the loof (for the roof
is to be utilized for a meteorological labora
tory) will be devoted to the purposes of the
Central Park Sanitarium. It is from the

HAD UNBOUNDED FAITH IN HIM.
The Good Work of Father Mollinger Not
Likely to Be Interred With Bis Bones.
Philadelphia, Press.
The death of Father Mollinger, the wealthy
priest-physician of Troy Hill, Allegheny, due
to exhaustion attendant upon bis labors on
St. Anthony's Day, removes a curious and
not unheroic figure from among us. rather
Mollinger's lesults were in the line of cures
made on functional disorders so familiar to
the medical profession these many years in
connection with shrines and holy pilgrim
ages. Whatever Father Mollinger believed
about tho cures himself, it Is evident that to
the unlearned and non-expert it was their
unbounded faith in him and his relics that
worked the cures which, of course, are lim
ited to a certain definite circle of ailments.
His medical knowledge doubtless aided him
in making certain results doubly sure. As
his personal services were required by the
anxious thousands the sapping of his vital
ity was itself a cage of sacrifice for the good
of others. Whether he will have a successor
or not it is not easy to say; but doubtless
with many a visit to Troy Hill itself will
piove remedial, and the good of Father Mol
linger's work Is not likely to be interred
with his xiones.

S0UTBSIDE HOSPITAL
Again Will Become a Beneficiary Mam
moth Fete Projected In That Part of
Town Whare and How the World of
Society Spent the Day.
To speak of the Southside Hospital
naturally recalls the mammoth benefit of
some months ago. That was then very suc
cessful. Bat the energetic managers ap
parently will not doze under these laurels
and already they are mauing preparations
for an entertainment having all the charac
teristics belonging to an al Irosoo affair. Tbe
fete will be given on June 8, in the
grounds of the Knox mansion, in
Enoxville, and one can scarcely
conceive a prettier or more suitable spot
Though nearly a month distant, prepara
tions are begun and all committees have
been formed. Judging from what has been
done in the past, it is a pleasant thought to
know that one can safely predict for these
energetic ladles a thorough success. Noth
ing succeeds like success. Everything
touched turned to gold. These charming
truisms belong particularly to the case of
the managers of the hospital, and a fair sky

event marked the fete yesterday ut the
Episcopal Church Home for Orphans in
Lawrencevllle. It Is a popular superstition
that there is never rain on this day. Yester
day's weatber did its part to Justify belief in,
a story that is nearly old enough now'to be
a legend. It was Just tbe sort of a day to be
taken under the trees and many found, in
the retired mural recesses ot the Home
grounds, enjoyment denied elsewhere in the
city. A huge merry-go-round stood in the
middle of tbe lawn, and in that peculiar
way that merry-go-rounds possess enticed
every small boy and girl into Its huge
clutches. The dull moment was an oddity
