WOMAN'S MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Commencement Exorcises Held in
Philadelphia Academy of Music,
Philadelphia, ' May 1C The com
mencement exeicises of the Woman's
Medical college of Pennsylvania were
held In the Academy of Music today,
Tho event marks an epoch In the his
tory of women in the study of medi
cine, as It commemorates the estab
lishment of the oldest medical college
for women In the world, the celebrrtlon
of the llftieth anniversary of the insti
tution also beginning with today's cere
monies. Twenty-six students received
tho degree of M. D., among them be
ing Kel Okaml, of Japan: Sobat Mse
lambooly, of Syila, nnd Hu King Eng,
of China.
Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister,
addressed the graduates. During the
course of his address Minister Wu took
occasion to criticize American men for
their opposition to women In the medi
cal profession. Ho said:
"I am not a little hiirprlsed to learn
that for all the hoast of Anglo-Saxon
fairness and chivalry, medical women
have had a hard time In lighting their
way, against strong opposition at every
step, to public recognition and profes
sional standing. I am sure that they
would lccelve better treatment In
China. There the medical profession
does not form a close corporation. Any
one who has sufficient skill and knowl
edge in the art of healing Is freely al
lowed to practice. Irrespective of na
tionality, sex or creed, so long as he or
she can get patients."
In conclusion, Wu Ting Fang advised
the graduates to go to China, .where,
he said, there is room for them, owing
to the smnll number of women doctors.

THE LEADER OF THE BOERS.
Interesting Review of the Dramatic
Career of General Louis Botha, the
Successor of Piet Joubert.
I'rom a Lourenzo Marques Letter to the Cincin
nati Knquher.
Tho untimely deatli of General Jou
bert has brought to tho front one of
tho most remarkable of tho younger
Afrikanders, Louts Rotha. Ho was but
3G years of age when he was suddenly
called upon to take supremo command
of tho federal forces in South Africa.
Tho nomination was mado In the
first instance by the late General Jou
bert himself. It wns confirmed by
President Kruger, and enthusiastic
ally approved by the burghers In arms.
Xo instance of such rapid progress
has ever occured in modern times.
When the war broke out ho was u
simple commandant. General Joubert's
temporary indisposition placed him In
command at tho battle of Colonso. Then
President Kruger sent him to super
sede Generals Schalk-Hurghor and
Cronjo at Splon Kop March fi. At the
conncll of war at Rlggarsberg ho was
appointed lieutenant general of tho
forces In Natal, and at the end of the
month he succeeded General Joubert.
Rapid as was his promotion It has ex
cited no heartburnings, nor have those
whom he has superseded tef rained from
enthusiastically approving his selection
for the supreme command.
Louis Rotha was born under the
British flag. The RothaB are an old
Natal family, and Louis saw the light
of tho world at dreytown, Natal, In
1SG1. When but a boy he left Natal
and settled in tho Free State. He was
from his youth a lad of mettle, rest
less, pushing and energetic. When,
therefore, the Uoer filibusters, or emi
grants, from the Transvaal went forth
to help Dlnizulu and settled that part
of Zululnnd which was called the New
republic, and nfterward became an In
tegral part of, the Transvaal republic,
Louis Rotha, a more outh, went also,
MARRIED AN IRISHWOMAN.
Ho was ono of the earlv pioneers
who took up farms In tho newly ac
quired territory. There, closo to tho
Swazl frontiers, some 35 miles north
east from Vryheld, ho has built his
beautiful homestead and laid out his
estate. He lived there rath"r in a style
of an opulent English squire than a
Boer herdsman.
Louis Rotha speaks English fluently.
Ho has a strong predilection for tho
Irish, nnd married a beautiful Irish
lady, stately in appearance and very
charming In disposition. Mrs. Botha
was a Miss Emmet, and belongs to tho
identical family of which the celebrated
Ill-starred Irish patriot was tho most
famous member.
The Botha homestead could compare
very favorably with a first-class
American farm. Tho buildings are sub
stantial and attractive in appearance
tho park laid out In English style. It
is altogether a superior home.
A plentiful supply of good books In
several languages aro to bo found in a
library', which for African conditions
must bo termed a well-stocked one. A
first-class piano and organ nnd ex
cellent furniture complete nn ideal
country gentleman's hen e.
Hero he lived a quiet life, taking
however, his full sharo In tho govern
ment. Ho was a member ot tho Volks
raad, and belonged to tho nrogresslvo
party, In common with General Jou
bert. Ho wns a strong opponent of mono
polies nnd dynamite concession, of
which "Oom" Paul was tho stanchest
supporter. Ho seldom spoke In tho as
sembly, but when l.o did ho spoko to
tho point, and earned the soubriquet of
"Tho Wlso In Con icll."
Ho had his naptlsm of .Ire as a young

The army chaplain whom Sir Charles
Warren sent to bury the English dead
after tho battle at Splon Kop described
him as vehement, full of fiery Indigna
tion against the English, resolute, but
not disinclined to listen to common
sense.
Ho Is very unassuming In his looks.
He seems just what he Is a hardy,
strong-minded, well-built nnd shiewd
son of the soli. The audacious tactics
of the Boers during the recent weeks
are to be attributed to his guidance
solely, as ho Is tho Ideal leader for a
guerrilla warfare carried on by means
of swift, harassing movements,
The Boers look up to him nlready
with tho same confidence which they
bestowed upon Joubert, and the tem
porary discouragements have given
way to confidence and renewed spirit.
SOAPING GEYSERS.
Remaikable Results of Tossing Soap
Into the Hot Fountains of the
Yellowstone.
I'rom the New ork Sun.
A lecturer on tho Yellowstone park,
this season, Is showing a picture of
ono of the hot springs In the park
which has a perfectly placid surface.
Tho next photograph Is of the same
water surface taken a minute after
soap Is thrown into tho pool, which
then resembles a basin filled with vio
lently boiling soapsuds. All tourists
In tho Yellowstone region arc familiar
with the remarkable result of throw
ing soap into the hot springs or gey
sers. In tho eurly days of touting in
that wonderland the visitors got into
tho habit of soaping tho geysers to
make them spout, and the park au
thorities llnally foibade tho practice,
becaupe some of them seemed to have
been permanently Injured by such
treatment.
The lecturer also shows a picture of
tho hot spring where tho remarkable
effect of soap was flist discovered.
There Is still displayed at this spring
the sign of tho Chinese laundryman
In the upper Geyser Basin who in tho
summer of 18S5 astonished himself and
the rest of the world with this unex
pected phenomenon. Here ho had es
tablished liis laundry, using tho hot
water from the spring that was ready
to his hand. Ono day ho poured n lot
of water lie had used. In which was a
liberal admixture of laundry soap,
back Into the spring, when there was
suddenly an eruption of the waters
that not only astonished but also In
jured him, for he wus thoroughly
drenched by the hot water thrown out
on the bank.
A little later ono of our geologists,
Mr. Arnold Hague, Investigated this
strange phenomenon. By a seiles of
experiments ho found that some of tho
gclgors and hot springs were much
more susceptible thnn others to tho
Boap treatment. Many of tho springs
and geysers wero quiet even when the
surface temperature of tho water was
above tho boiling point. Any distur

Remember, there is no trouble to show
bance, therefore, was likely to cause
the ebullition to begin, as tho water
was in a state of unstable equilibrium.
If soap or concentrated lyo wero ndd
ed, a viscous fluid was produced which
seemed to cause the retention of
steam, and In the ease of superheated
waters explosive liberation must fol
low. In 1S&1 air. Henry Cadell, an Eng
lish geologist, visited tho Yellowstono
park nnd gave some attention to the
soaping of geysers. He reported that
tho famous Old Faithful geyser seem
ed to bo proof against such undignified
treatment, but some of Its more fitful
and licklo brethren, whose eruptions
occutrcd at uncertain Intervals, pay
more heed to tho artful dodge to set
n In action. Among theso Is the
i. "Tlvc, which has no fixed period,
but i. sceptlble to the action ofteoap.
In a per read by Mr. Haguajm few
years ago, he said that geyser erup
tions produced by soap or alkali ap
pear to demand two conditions: First,
tho surfneo reservoir should hold but
a small amount of water, exposing only
a limited area to the atmosphere; sec
ond, tho water must stand at, or about,
the boiling point of water.

THEATRICAL.
Annie Russell Friday.
Annlo Husscll, as will be seen here nt the I.y.
ceutn l'riday evening is a fortunate young woman.
After the pleasing imprrsajng she., crated last
night in "Catherine" fhe was lucky enough to
find In her new play, "Miss Hobbs," a character
exactly butted to her capabilities, ft was n"."
written for her, but It fits her so well it would
seem Mr. Jerome, tho author, had a person of
her temperament and disposition in Ills m'ud
even when engaged 'in its composition'.
Or is It that Mls Husscll Is so subtle in her
art that she is able to make us believe this new
character Is her real temperament, as wo thought
last season tho meek anil fclf-s.irrlflclng Catherine
was? At any rate, bho is credited with making
a charming "Miss Hobbs" am) acting with that
delicacy of manner which characterlted her rolo
of last season.
