DR. COOLIDUES ADDRESS.
1 take great pleasure In (,'iving you a
cordial welcome to our city. While we
meet as a distinctive body of physleiuns.
I am sure that the people of this city are
broad enough In their ideas and so Intel
ligent and advanced In their knowledge of
matters pertaining to medicine and sunl.
lary science, as to accord to us any de
served merit and respect which belong
to us as members of the healing art.
We are gathered hero today, not for
purposes of contention or controversy,
but for concerted action by union of
strength and numbers in advancing th
general welfare and Interests of the cause
we represent, in which we believe, and to
which we are In duty bound to devote our
best efforts. Inasmuch as our profession
al work in a certain sense, and thy work
of this society in particular, Is largely hu
manitarian, I tako it that it is well to
di lino our position on points which con
cern public opinion. I challenge any per
son to point to a good prescriber of well
proven homoeopathic remedies whose rep
utation as a healer Is not firmly estab
lished in the community where he resides.
It may be altogether old fashioned and
out of date to refer to the memory of
Samuel Hahnemann In this progressive
ace when the eyes of all mankind are
looking into the future. But yon know
it often falls to the lot of men so great
and standing upon thought levels so far
above the plane of mankind during their
day that their age refuses to acknowledge
their greatness because It cannot under
stand them. It Is said, fur Instance, that
Milton's "Paradise Lost" was sold for a
few shillings In the streets of London.
The musical genius of Mozart, us much as
It dazzled his contemporaries, had to wait
a hundred years for true appreciation.
And it Is ever so in the realms of science.
THKY ARK SPECIALISTS.
1 wish to emphasize again the fact that
we, us a school, are specialists In the
use of remedies. That Is our fad; believ
ers In the power of medicine to cure dis
ease. Need I say there are medical men
who do not so believe. Now with dis
ease on the one hand and the remedy
which abounds in Held, forest and the
mineral and animal kingdoms on the
other. Is U not a reectlon upon Divine in
telligence to say there Is no law or cer
tain rule by which It can he use?
In closing ullow me to refer to the. statue
and ethics of medical practice as relates
to the two schools. The lega4 require
ments of mndlcal education are the same
for each, and both are subject to thP same
police regulation as a final qualification
of practice after graduation In medicine.
The relationship to the public In the two
schools Is about on an even footing. We
have as respectable clientele anil may
modestly claim to be as successful in
practice.
Lo you really believe that the Dublie
Is unaware of the fact that an old school
physician, when so inclined, cannot con
sent with n physician of another ?:inl.
except at the risk of Incurring the dis
pleasure of his medical associates, and If
his medical friends do not exercise leni
ency toward him, he Is disbarred from
membership with his fellow practitioners?
Do your patrons know that when th-lr
lives and the lives of their little chil
doren are at stake, in such dire extremity
when medicine may seem unavailing,
when you know, perhaps, that 110 human
relief can save, yet the human heart
clings to hope, when that parent has a
right to ask counsel or look for help
from any source whatsoever, do ynu
think your patrons and the people of the
community fully realize that there are
medical men whose code will not permit
them to help save a human being except
it be in strict accordance with tr.st prin
ciple which allows the lndlvM11.1l vo
choice In the selection of his medical ad
viser? CALL IT t'N'AMERICAX.
At American citizens, aside from any
professional relation we have to the pub.
lie weal. Is it not your duty and mine
to arouee public sentiment and agitate the
matter until this un-American and tyran
nical medical ring is overthrown? I think
you will all agree that the day has
forever gone by when we as practitioners
of medicine are in any sense dependent
for self-help upon consultations with our
old school friends, or that we desire such
except upon that broad principle that we
believe all men everywhere have a di
vine right to liberty of opinion and it is
abhorrent to our minds to know that the
ethics of a great school of medicine do not
give each member the right to do as his
conscience oftentimes might dictate.
We protest against it as barring the door
to progress and closing avenues by which
much new knowledge might enter, and
finally, as being wholly Incompatible with
th"se broad principles by which men shall
be bound only by the laws of the land
and by conscience.
The first paper read was by Dr.
Champlln, of Towanda, and was on
"Treatment of Typhoid Fever." Me
said that good nursing is the most es
sential point next to the work of the
phvslclan In the cure of the patient.
Drs. Lange, of this city, and Hill, of
Tunkhannock, discussed the paper.
Dr. Brewster, of Washington ave
nue, read a very useful paper on the
care of consumptives. One-seventh of
the human race die from this disease,
he said. The suply of Impure milk In
ull large cities In a constant source
of danger. Kissing: is a way in which
persons Infected with consumption can
transmit it to others. The paper was
discussed by Drs. Snyder and Bishop,
after which adjournment was taken
for dinner. The afternoon session con
vened at 1.30.
ABOUT BICYCLING.
Dr. George F. Hand, of Binghamton.
read a paper on bicycling from the
standpoint of a doctor and the effect of
bicycling on health and placed himself
on record as a bicycle crank, as the
term goes. He treated the question
under three heads. (1.) The influence
on health. (2.) The influence on di
sease tendencies. (3.) The dunger of
bicycling.
The old-time high wheel was alto
gether too dangerous for either health
or pleasure, and It was not until the
"safety" came into vogue that the bi
cycle ceased to be a fad and legan to
be of the importance that is now at
tached to it. Doubtful it is. he said, if
any other exercise gives such a thor
ough muscular action. By some It Is
said that bicycling brings into use only
the muscles of the legs and forearms.
The doctor disagreed with this state
ment and said that it combines the
beneficial exeteise of climbing steep
grades, the Jar of horse-back riding,
the swing of skating, the dnsh of row
ing, and the exhilaration of rapid rid
ing. He said it comes nrer the Ideal
exercise than any other known. The
lntluence of it on the heart is especially
noticeable.
And it has, he thinks, the same influ
ence in curing disease as tending to re
sist it. If it builds up a healthy sys
tem, it ought to be good for persons In
a diseased state of health. Men who
work in shops and factories where they
breathe bad nir are Improved wonder
fully by riding home on their wheel to
a warm dinner. The doctor recom
mended It to the use of clergymen and
lawyers and urges upon them that their
health rather than a false dignity had
better ho fostered.
The dangers of bicycle riding were
cited as riding great distances and as
suming Improper positions on the wheel.
This is apt to be the case with young
kids, he said, who imagine themselves
the coming champions of the world.
With reference to the use of the
wheel by women the doctor said that
some contend that the exercise is not
adapted to them. There are no iacts
to sustain this contention. Her chance
for exercise outside her household du
ties are very slim. She is denied the
benefit of base ball, foot ball, and the
many other outdoor exercises of her
brothers. But, he said, in bicycling
they must reform their style of dress.
They must go out . minus their tight
corsets, and adopt a costume mo l- st.
attractive and healthful. The Jo.tor
yarn nothing about bloomers.
DISCUSSION OF PAPER.
Ills pnper wus discussed bv Drs.
E. M. Santee, of Towanda, and L. A.
Martin, of Blnghampton. The former
commended the paper very highly, and
assured him that all physicians also d
who have undergone the experiences of
trying to get their drivers out of bed
on an urgent call at 3 a. m. He pre
dicted that the time is not far distant
when every woman will have a wheel
and will find it as Indispensable as a
sewing machine. Dr. Martin said the
doctor who read the paper had made a
"century run" and had treated the
subject so thoroughly as to tuke the
wind out of the tires of criticism.
A paper on "Surgical Injuries of the
t'pper Extremity" was read by Dr.
Hessler. of Philadelphia, in the absence
of Dr. W. B. Van Lcnnep, of that city,
one of the professors of Philadelphia
Hahnemann College. The paper was
devoted altogether to the treatment ctf
appendicitis, and the discussion which
followed was entered Into by several of
the physicians. Dr. Simmons, of New
York, In his remarks opposed the
use of the knife in appendicitis. He does
no! believe that God placed any organ
In the body that was meant to be cut
out, and he said there is about sixteen
fifteenths too much use of the knife.
Dr. DeWltt G. Wilcox, jot Buffalo,
read a paper on "Intestinal Annsta
mosls with the Murphy Button," and
Dr. F. W. Adrlance, of Elm Ira, read a
paper on "When Should a Gynaecologi
cal Examination be Insisted Upon?"
Both papers were highly commended.
Dr. W. C. Goodno, of Philadelphia,
was on the programme to read a paper
on "Protracted Typhoid Fever." He
could not come, and Dr. Coolidge asked
Dr. Sureth to read the paper, which Dr.
Goodno sent acompanylng his letter of
regret.
Dr. A. D. fietman. of Onennta. N. Y.,
read a paper on "Heredity." He took
the stand that heredity Is overlooked
too much In the domnln of medicine. In
the everyday conception of the term we
aic npt to regard it as only the
DR. i:. K. SXVDKI:,
iiinghamton, X. Y.
transmission from father to son nnd
Irom one generation to another. Arter
a thorough sifting of the imR'lt'e that
descend from fire to son throrgii the
characteristics of race, nationality and
environment, he dwelt upon the evils
resulting from the fre" use of coca Ire.
opium and alcohol. The scs.-'on closed
ilii a paper on the "Abortive Treat
ment of Diseases," by Dr. K. E. Syml -r,
of lllnghnmpton,
BANQUET AT TERRACE.
The local society banqueted the dele
gates at the Terrace In the evening.
Covers were laid for fifty. Dr. H. B.
Ware was toaptmaster and proved to
be a very happy incumbent of that sta
tion. Toasts were responded to as fol
lows: "Our Society in Northern Penn
sylvania," Dr. Thpodore M. Johnson.
Plltstnn: "Toasts on Some pther
Things." Dr. W. C. Goodno. Philadel
phia: "The Interstate." Dr. .1. W. Cool

J. T. flreenleaf. Owego, N. Y.; "Doctors

Man Sees Us." James P. Dickson;
"Philanthropic Medicine," Dr. St. Cla r
Smith. New York. Dr. Wilcox, of Buf
falo, and Dr. Martin, of Hinghnmton,
also made speeches.
Dr. Greenleaf's response was in
rhyme and it was a gem. Dr. Coolidge
treated the quests to a very amusing
account of the proceedings of a ficti
tious medical club, which abounded in
w it and humor.

HIS BODY FOUND
IN THE RESERVOIR
Mystery of Janes Kearney's Disappear
aace Solved.
WATER IS NEAR THE BLAST FURNACE
Remains Were Discovered Floating
oa the Surface nt 0 o'clock Yester
day Morning by Two Men oa Their
Mar from Work--Ite Left Home
Accompanied by a Dog on Oct. 16.
James Kearney, who disappeared
from his home "on Phelps street on
Friday evening, October lti, was found
dead at tf o'clock yesterday morning
Heating on the surfuce of the water in
the reservoir alongside the blast fur
ntct. and almost under the Roaring
Brook bridge. The .body was in the
water evidently since the night of his
disappearance. It was swo.len and dis
colored and almost unrecognizable.
Some men employed at the blast fur
nace saw the dark object floating on
the water as they were going home In
the morning after their night's work.
In less than an hour the Roaring Brook
bridge was lined with persons, curious
to see the body. The men who discov
ered It by means of ropes with drags
attached, towed It to the bunk and then
sent for Coroner Longstreet.
The doctor arrived later in the morn
ing and empanelled a Jury, consisting
of E. R. Con ley, W. A. Raub, James
Rndes, John Mctx. T. D. Campbell nnd
James Feeuey. After the remains had
been viewed by the Jury, Undertaker
Ruub conveyed them to" his establish
mtnt on Spruce street.
THE BODY IDENTIFIED.
Up to this time no one had Identified
him, but it was suspected by many that
it was Mr. Kearney. The description
given of him In the papers at the time
of his disappearance corresponded to
that of the body. Soon after Under
taker Raub took charge the dead man's
relatives called, and they confirmed the
suspicion that had already gained gen
eral ground. It was almost impossible
to tell by the features who the dead
man was, but there was no douM
about his Identity when the clothing
was examined. Miss Nellie Kearney
immediately recognized the clothes as
those of her father, and Mark Barrett,
a shoemaker living near the Kearney's,
and who had known the deceased for
many years, recognized the shoes as a
pair which he fixed a few days before
Mi. Kearney left home. It is quite
probable that the deceased had lo?t
his way and wandered around the blnrt
furnace, and In the darkness fell Into
the reservoir. His wife's death about
a year abo wrought a great change in
him. Since then he was In the habit
of lapsing Into spells of abstraction.
The night he left home a large New
foundland dog was with him. It was
about o'clock. His absence worried
his family greatly, but tney were not
altogether uneasy until the dog re
turned home alone the following Tues
day. The habits of the deceased hud
been such thut his absence was the
surest sign that something had befalltn
him.
NINE CHILDREN SURVIVE.
He wus 50 years old and worked as a
miner. Nine children survive him.
They are Mrs. Ed-ward Barrett. Mrs.
Thomas J. Bilbow, Murtln, Patrick,
John, James, Nellie, Lizzie, and Mrs.
Patrick Buland, of Butte City, Mon
tana, The body was removed from
ltaub's to Cusack's undertaking rooms
on Washington avenue, from where
the funeral will tuke place at 9 o'clock
this morning. Interment will be made
In Hyde Park Catholic Cemetery.
Coroner Longstreet and the Jury will
meet at his office on Wyoming avenue
to-morrow night and hear testimony.
There was no evidence on the body
that foul play had anything to do with
death, and It Is generally regarded as
an accident.
TENANT GOT JUDGMENT.
Landlord nnd Constable Mulcted for
$100 Damages.
E. II. Pickering, of Dunmore, land
lord, and I. 11. Dolph, a constable, of
that borough, yesterday had Judgment
in the sum of S100 rendered against
them, by Alderman Millar for con
ducting nn Irregulur constable's safe.
The plaintiff was Miss Tina Reiber.
She and her husband recently began
housekeeping lu one of Pickerings
houses. It was a rather dilapidated
structure and it was agreed that if the
tenants should clean It out and fix It
up there would be an allowance made
In the rent. A disagreement over this
allowance brought about a constable
sale. There was no lease and accord
ing to luw the tenants should have been
given three months notice, but ac
cording to the allegation of the Relb
er's, the landlord and constable evict
ed them and when their goods were
In the street sold them for J3.26. Mrs.
Pickering being the purchaser. Among
the goods were articles to the value
of JS6.50 which Mrs. Relber swears be
longed to her personally, having been
given to her as wedding presents by
her relutives. Her hat, dress and shoes
were also sold, which under no consid
eration can be attached.
During the progress of the hearing

AMUSEMENTS.
This evening at the Frothlngham the
world-renowned old Gilmore's band, old
but new. will appear in a grand con
cert, fresh from an unparalleled con
quest in three engagements which,
alone, continued from May 30 to Oct. 21.
The genuine success which Victor Her
bert and Gilmore's band have this year
achieved Is hardly equalled In the
musical history of the country. This
evening's concert will present much of
special Interest. The principal num
bers for the band are the "Tannhauser"
overture, "Wugncr," the "Fest" over
ture, Lassen, a Spanish ballet suitet by
Desormes, the Intermezzo from Caval
lerla Rustlcana, Mascagnl, "Starlight
Waltz" from "Wizard of the Nile,"
Victor Herbert, and also his "American
Girl" march, and (a) Narcissus, Nevln,
and (b) Spanish Dunce, Moskowskl.
Victor Herbert will appear In violon
cello solo (a) "In Dieamland." "The
Wizard of the Nile.- and b) Scherzo.
Goens. Miss Marie Donuvln will sing
two numbers. "Ah! fors e lul," Verdi,
and "The Swallows," Cowen, and the
famous "Three Solitaires," Messrs.
Clarke (Herbert L). Hager and
Schmidt, will play a "Polka Brilllante,"
trio for three first cornets. The encore
music will Include the happiest sort of
conceptions and brilliant dlvcrtlse
ment. ...
The attraction at the Academy of
Mus'lc, Friday and Saturday, and Sat
urday matinee, Oct. SO and 31, is that
r,f h,,ai( ttmmlnr hnmn fnvnrilps. "The
Noss Jollity Company," in a farce- I
comedy entitled "The Kodak." Tho
entertainment, as is usual with this or
ganization, will be given on the popular
Idea for brain and muscle workers, that
is, simply, pure, clean, comedy, blight
and Interesting music, Interpreted by
a company capable of adding novel,
new and original specialties. "The
Kodak," a new play which was written
for this company, is a wonder, being
full of life and fun from start to finish.
An admirable list of players has been
engaged this season. The stage set
tings, costumes and scenic efforts will
be appropriate and up to the usual high
standard. A continued ripple of mer
riment Is sure to be heard in the audi
ence, testifying to Its enjoyment.
...
The sale of seats for the engagement
of the famous Bostonians will open at
the box office of the Frothlngham this
morning. Unusual Interest centres In
the engagement ot this poular organ
ization, for their appearance is the
chief event of the musical year. This
year the organization Is said to be con
siderably strengthened by the addi
tion of several new arttsts, and the list
of principals Includes such well known
favorites as Henry Clay Barnabee,
William B. MacDonald, Jessie Bartlett
Davis, Eugene Coles, George Frothlng
ham. Hilda E. Clark. Alice Neilsou. W.
E. Philp, T. Kelly Cole, Josephine Bart
lett, Gracla Qulve. C. E. I.undie, S. L.
Studley, Merrill, May Von Dresser and
Charles R. Hawley. It has .been de
cided to present here that poular opera,
"Mexico," next Monday evening.
...
One of the best of all American
plays, "The Girl I Left Behind Me,"
which has made several fortunes for
Charles Frohman, comes to the Froth
lngham next Tuesday evening. "The
Girl I Left Behind Me" seems to have
the power of delighting all classes of
society. Perhaps the Judicious ming
ling of social incident, the flirting and
fun that are sure to happen when sol
diers and pretty girls are thrown .to
gether, and the exciting war scenes ex
plain this success with different classes.
But even without Its pretty girls and
the brilliant ball at Camp Kennlon, there
Is enough fire and stir in the tremend
ous stockade scene to fill any audience
with enthusiasm, no matter whether It
is a purely fashionable one or not.
It being election night, the manage
ment has arranged with the Postal
Telegraph company to furnish com
plete returns, which will be rend from
the stage during the performance.
...
It was Impnslble for the "Spider nnd
Fly" company to reach Scranton be
fore 8 o'clock lat evening, too late to
perform; and so Munuger Davis did not
open the house yesterday nt all. The
company will give shows at the usual
hours to-duy.
WIDOW SUES TO RECOVER DAMAGES
Her Husband Won Killed by doing
Over an Embankment.
Mrs. Cordelia Alger began an action
yesterday against the Township of
South Abington to recover damages
for the death of her husband. She Is
represented by Attorneys O'Brien &
Kelly.
Mr. Alger met his death last spring
by going over an embankment along
one ot the roads in South Abington
township and it is alleged by the
widow that the negligence of the town
ship supervisors In failing to keep the
