The trial of the case of Anna Swaney

R. Mitchell , one o tha defendants , was put
upon the stand , and swore that ho had not
been warned of the unsafe condition ot the

as some of the witnesses for the plaintiff
had testified. The case was given to the
jury about 3:30 : o'clock.
The $2.000 damage suit of Peter C. Miller
against F. R. Beck & Co. for the wrongful

Dora Hesley has commenced a suit against
Fred Hesley on account of the lattcr's failure
to pay the saloon , tax required by the mulct
law. She leased the property In question In
the town of Mlnden last February , but In
stead of keeping the liquor tax paid up to
date he has allowed a liquor tax of $200 to
accumulate. She wants him removed from
the premises.

The Innlsfall Philharmonic and Dramatic
club , one of the best amateur organizations In
the west , will hold down the boards at Doha-
ny's Thursday , December 6 , In a neat New
England drama , entitled , "Placer Gold. " This
will be one cf the best efforts of the
club , and will undoubtedly bring forth the
"standing room only" sign. It Is given for
the benefit of St. Bernard's hospital , and
the young people should bo encouraged for
their trouble and pains In helping such a
worthy object. Fill the house and you will
never regret having spent GO cents for so good
an entertainment and so worthy a cause.

TiiplU Didn't Appreciate It ,
There was supposed to be school In all the
echools of the city yesterday , but there Is
considerable room for doubt as to whether
the youngsters derived much benefit from
their wrestling with cube root and participial
adjectives. It was the first time In a good
many years that they had not been allowed
to spend the day after Thanksgiving In re
cuperating. The school board decided that
there was no USD In paying the teachers for
not teaching on that day , nor In shutting
up shop and depriving the children of the
wonderful benefit of a day of toll. But the
arrangement did not meet with the approba
tion of either teachers or pupils. Several o ;
the teachers told their pupils that they woulc
not bo marked down It they did not attend
although they would b perfectly welcome li
they chose to come. It Is needless to say
the attendance was not very largo In those
rooms , but the teachers went through the
motions and drew tholr pay notwithstanding
In other rooms a good many ot the children
assumed the responsibility themselves o
staying away , so that the attendance was
very small throughout. It is evident tha
public sentiment IB not yet educated up to
the point of having school on the day after

While It Is considered very vulgar to bleach
one's hair , or dye It conspicuously yellow ,
there Is a certain shade of reddish-brown
much affected by society dames ot late , the
pros and cons of which they discuss with the
jlmost frankness. Some of the experiences
: hat were told were very funny. One lady ,
.hrough a dreadful mistake of the chemist ,
: otmtl that she had dyed her hair a bright
jr.rple , and the only consolation she received
! rom her husband was "serves you right for
icing such an Idiot. " Another fashionable
Fair one had a still more provoking experi
ence. As she was arranging her locks one
day she caught a tress of her dyed hair ,
woman-fashion , In her mouth while putting
up her back hair. She was horrified to find
that her entire upper Up was covered with a
deep brown stain that gave the effect of a
youth's mustache , a stain which she tried In
vain to eradicate , and which finally had to be
left until time were off the obstinate disfig
urement.
'It Is customary to say that nature cannot
err , and that she understands her coloring
arrangements so well that no one can Im
prove upon her combinations , " remarked a
lively dame belonging to the smartest set at
a fashionable luncheon the other day. The
question of how much Is'legitimate In the
way of altering cxlttlng personal conditions
was under discussion. "This Is all nonsense ,
In my opinion , " she continued ; "It Is one of
those old , cut-and-drlcd effete truisms that
are relegated to the past. Why , If she Is
Infallible , sliou'.d she not have given me Mrs.
C.'s lovely Grecian nose , for Instance , Instead
of my ugly little pug and It I could change
It would I not be right In doing so ? Now , iff
the matter of hair , for example , she Is some
times all wrong ; a dark woman almost In
variably looks better In n red or yellow wig ,
and a red-haired beauty Is quite ravlssante
with a black one. I don't In the least mind
saying that I have changed the color of my
hair to suit my looks better than thcr"color
nature bestowed upon me. It took mo no end
of time and trouble to get this particular
tint , and I think I have finally succeeded , "
she concluded with complacency.
It Is becoming something of a question as
to what the room where we entertain our
friends shall be called. The really smart
woman hasn't a "parlor" In her house ; she
would almost faint at the suggestion that Is ,
a parlor pure and simple. There ore , of
course , the blue parlor or the pink parlor on
occasion , though she prefers to call them
rocms , and she has her Japanese , Egyptian ,
Moorish , or Empire room , as the case may
be , but "parlor" she has not Indeed. The
word Is borrowed or rather corrupted from
the French parler , and was originally applied
to the small room In convents on which a
grating gave. To this" grating might come
the nuns for a chat with their friends. Why
the word should have become so ostracised
fashionably Is ono of those mysteries which
must go down to posterity unsolved , along
with the decline of tha castor and the passIng -
Ing of the photograph album. Drawing room
In America has always meant a state apart
ment , and Is always an extra and more mag
nificent chamber than the parlor or reception
suite. Yet Its pure English meaning Is "a
withdrawing room ; where the women at a
family party withdraw from the dining
room. " *
A woman traveling in Japan a year ago
spent a night at an Isolated little Inn In the
mountains. When her party reached the
place the landlord , or master oC the house ,
for the place hardly seemed an accredited
hotel , showed some reluctance to accommo
date the travelers. Finally ho signified his
willingness on one condition. When the con
dition was stated It created consternation ,
being a request that the lady would allow
him the privilege of assisting at that portion
of her morning toilet which had to do with
the putting on of her corsets. The man had ,
It seems , hoard of these strange garments ,
but had never before encountered a foreign
woman , and felt that the opportunity of hla
life hod come to appease an Inordinate curi
osity In the matter. After some natural hes
itation the American woman consented to
pay this very odd price for the housing of
herself and friends , and the next morning
tha Inspection was duly permitted. The Jap
anese host was the most deferential , but also
most minute In the examination , walking
around her several times with many depre
catory smiles , finally approaching gingerly
and touching the bodice of bone and drilling.
He was evidently greatly amazed and decid
edly shocked that any woman could so Incase
herself , and , after his guest had finished her
toilet and appeared iu the breakfast room ,
his eyes followed her constantly with an ex
pression of fascinated Interest , which was
varied from time to time by a shako of the
head and a solemn look of deprecation , as II
one should say : "U la true , Indeed , but oh ,
how dreadful ! "

Eighteen of the n st desirable places In
the army and navy n.roat present vacant and
Open to young meh'ln civil life who desire
employment. Political Influence has nothing
whatever to do with the appointments ; tha
most meritorious applicants will bo selected
without regard for any other consideration.
Diplomas from recognized medical colleges
must be exhibited by candidates for these
positions , which are those of physicians In
Undo Sam's service. There are ten vacan
cies In the army and eight In the navy.
These situations are obtainable by passing
a good examination merely. The successful
applicant at once receives his commission. In
the navy his sea pay from the start Is $1,700
a year. At the end of thrco years he be
comes a passed assistant surgeon and draws
(3,000 per annum. After two years more
have elapsed his emolument Is raised to
$2,200. Having gone through the grade men
tioned ho becomes a surgeon , and his rc-
numeration Is steadily lifted until at the end
ot twenty years of service It reaches $4,200.
A position of thla kind , says ( ho Phtladel- ,
phla Times , Is really much moro desirable
In many ways than that ot a line officer In
tlio navy. The pay la decidedly better and
there Is comparatively little work to do.
The doctor on board of a ship of war has no
watch to keep. Ills solo responsibility Is for
the health of officers and crew. The sanitary
regulations ot the vessel are under his
charge. When she goes Into port It Is his
duty to receive the health officer and answer
questions. Under his direction Is the ship's
dispensary , but the medicines are put up by
an apothecary on board.
HOW TO GET THEUE.
The proper course to pursue In trying to
get one of these places Is to write to the secretary -
rotary of the navy for permission to appear
before the naval examining board. The
applicant must state In his own handwriting
his age , blrthplacj and residence , also enclos
ing letters vouching for his good habits and
moral character. He must be of sound
health and between 21 and 26 years old.
Having passed the examination , he Is com
missioned as assistant surgeon and Is ordered
to the naval laboratory at New York. There ,
he stays four months , during which ho Is In
structed In his duties.
Having become familiar with the special
requirements of a physician In the navy he
Is ordered to a receiving ship for six months.
Then ho Is sent on-his cruise and spends a
couple of years at sea. Three years after the
date of his admission to the service ho Is ex
amined for promotion to the grade of passed
assistant surgeon. There are ninety assist
ants and passed assistants on the list. On
reaching the top of this list ho must wait
until there Is a vacancy before he can be
come a full-fledged.syrgeon. There are
fifty surgeons. mi i
After passing thrpiighUhe grade of surgeon ,
he becomes a medlcaHnspector. He then oc
cupies the dlgniflecr position of physician of
a fleet , usually wftil headquarters on board
of the flagship. Haying two assistants , he
Is not obliged to do anyiwork worth mentionIng -
Ing , save In an Extraordinary emergency.
There are fifteen .such Inspectors. Finally
the navy doctor becomes a medical director.
There are fifteen InPdlcal directors In the
service. Ordinarily'thi are superintendents
of hospitals , and .their duties are merely
nominal. They arerfioj expected to go to sea.
At 62 years of age' ' they retire on three-
fourths of their highest ! sea pay for life.
DUTIES OF1 THE DOCTORS.
Though navy docto/S have such easy times
as a rule , there qpo occasions when duties
most -serious an < X-dmportant devolve upo ,
them. Take for example .a recent Instance
t Rio , when the"Jtllow fever was wiping
out an average ofseventy or eighty lives a
day. This fearful disease ravages certain
southern ports every year , mainly because
they are extremely filthy and lack proper
sanitary regulations. Tliero arc five United
States ships of war In the harbor of Illo the

A young man who wants to be on army

ination before the army medical board , en
closing documents similar to those required

board meets In April and October , at dates
of which notice Is given In the medical
Journals. The examination Includes morals ,
habits , physical and mental qualifications and
so many branches of knowledge that to pass
Is by no means easy. For example. It Is
expected that the applicant shall be ac
quainted with the rijdiments of geology and
botany , and ho must know something about
history.
That Is the cV.et reason why so. many
candidates for these positions In the- army
and navy fall. They are apt not to realize
that moro Is expected of them than a knowl
edge of medicine. A physician In the navy

of duty alternate between frontier posts and
moro desirable stations In the east , and
meanwhile ho rises steadily through the
grades.
The pay of assistant surgeon Is $1.009. At
the end of three yeajs he Is promoted to the
rank of captain and gets $2,200. After ten
years he receives $2,400 and after fifteen

A man may enlist In the hospital corps ! at
any ago from IS to 30 If unmarried. He
enters the service as a private , but provision
Is made for the speedy promotion of the In
dividual who Is able and Industrious. The
servlco Is practically a military training
school Inwhich men are taught to be nurses ,
cooks , clerks , apothecaries , etc. It offers
the mot desirable positions attainable by nn
enlisted man In the United Slates army. In
addition to his pay he gets lodging , rations ,
clothing and bedding. The money he re
ceives may bo considered to teprcsent what
remains of the wages of n main In civil life

living , such as boafd , lodging , clothing , etc
He Is taken care of when sick and pensioned
If disabled. After thirty years ho Is retired
on three-Quarters pay , with extra allowance
In money for clothing and rations.
In time of peace the hospital corps Is con
stantly drilled In the performance of war
duties. They act out the whole business of
succoring the wounded on the field , carrying
thSm to the rear , etc. Some of the privates
take the part of the Injured , lying on the
srouncJ , while other attend to their needs.
The wounded who require Immediate atten
tion are marked by pinning a colored badge

tha rear. In the field each surgeon Is at
tended by a private as his orderly , who car
ries a canteen of water , a knife and a pouch
containing forceps , scissors , needles , thread ,
a candle , antiseptic bandages , soms ammonia ,
a tourniquet , vaseline , lint and adhesive
plaster.
A railway hospital train of twenty cars ,

PHYSICIANS OF TUB TREASURY.
The army and navy doctors and the sanl-
ary soldiers of the War Department having
jecn described , mention should not be
neglected ot the physicians of the Treasury ,
who constitute the medical staff of the
Marino Hospital Service. That bureau inaln-
alns communication with consuls all over
ho globe , keeps watch on diseases every
where , and publishes a weekly report on the
lealth and mortality of every big city of the
world. To Its vigilance Is due the fact that
cholera has been kept out of the United States
luring the last two years. This Federal health
raard shuts out the yellow fever , which
s a dread every summer along the south
Atlantic and Gulf coasts. For this purpose
't maintains quarantine establishments on
remote Islands , whither sh'ps ore taken for
cleaning and disinfection. The vessels arc
filled with sulphur fumes , the woodwork Is
was lied with blchlorled of mercury , and the
bedding Is steamed In disinfecting chambers.
There are hospitals on the Islands referred
to. 0ns of them , on the Dry Tortugas ,
thirty miles from land , has a complete bac
teriological laboratory. Yellow fever Is
caused by a kind of bacteria.
This bureau owns and conducts twenty
hospitals on the ecacoast and lakes. It pro
vides free medical attention for every Ameri
can seaman , caring for 50,000 sick sailors
annually. In this branch of the servlco
there are fifteen surgeons , twenty-nine
passed assistant surgeons , eighteen assistant
surgeons and seventy-nine acting assistant
surgeons. The new appointee becomes an
assistant surgeon at $1COO a year , with quar
ters , fuel and lights , and In assigned to one
of the marine hospitals. Promotions to the
upper grades come with length of service
and are accompanied by Increased pay. These
medical men , llko those of the army and
navy cannot bo removed except for good
cause * . There are always vacancies to fill.
Thus It will be seen that In this day of
overcrowding and paucity of patients In the
profession of medicine there are many
opportunities for young men to obtain as
physicians In the service of' Uncle Sam
pleasant berths for life with excellent pay
and even military or naval rank attached to
them.

TACOMA , Wash. , Nov. SO. A sensation
was developed at a union Thanksgiving serv
ice by a sermon ot Rev. A. F. Klrkpatrlck ,
who denounced and declared war against
gambling , Sunday saloons and prostitution.
Ills statement that church members are
known to own and rent buildings used for
gambling and prostitution was vigorously ap-
> lauded by the congregation. Then Mr. Klrk
patrlck said that If anybody would name
such church members ho would personally
prosecute them , under the state law. In these
remarks A. N. Thompson , pastor of the First
Presbyterian church , concurred amid loud
cheers. At the conclusion of the services
a committee asked Mayor Orr to stop a prize
fight which had been scheduled , but the mill *
came off without police Interference. A

The Kormandle ncglstcr yesterday con-
Iftlned Iht namt of J , D. Utady ot New
York , y > the Washington Post. Mr. Hrady
Is a largo Iron manufacturer nnd a gentleman -
man of unassuming manners and pleasing
iddrcss. Among those Who know him he Is
familiarly referred to as "Diamond Joe , "
and In h ; case the name Is better applied
than In ( he cas ot almost nny other of the
many characters who enjoy this appellation.
Mr. Urady Is literally a man ot diamonds.
Ho wears solitaires as settings In. his sus
pender buckles and as buttons on his under
wear. Hut the mottt curious feature of Ills pen
chant for the wh.tc carbons Is manifested In
the ornamentation ot the cane which Is
his Imnrlnble companion. This cane Is
a curiosity ot the rarest kind. The liamllo Is
ornamented with a cluster of stones , each ot
whlcli weighs not less than three carats.
The ferule Is gold , and the bottom ol the
ferule contains n diamond as largo as the
point of a man's thumb. H protects the
ferule from wearing In contact with tlio
pavement , and Is apparently In Its place less
with a view to display than to practical util
ity. The cane Is valued at several thousand
dollars. With all these gems about him , Mr.
Hrady's nppearanco Is anything but ostenta
tious or calculated to exclto attention. He
makes no outward display ot his possessions ,
and to a casual observer Is no more remark
able than any ordinary man.
Mr. llrady said : "You see , I used to bo a
great bon vlvant , with a particular taste tor
good wines and whiskies. In the course of
time my Indulgences created such havoc with
my health that I determined to stop drink
Ing. I had always spent a great deal of
money In drink , and I thought It would be a
good thing to save this and always * carry It
with me. So I began Investing In diamonds ,
until now I wear on my person fifty-four
gems valued at something over ? 40,000. "

BANKRUPTCY
of the physical bcinir is the result of draw
ing incessantly upon the reserve capital or
nerve force. The wear , tear and strain of
modern life arc concentrated upon the nerv
ous system. , The young men of our day be
come sufferers from nervous debility or ex
haustion , nervous prostration or weakness.
This may bi the result of too much mental
worry and excitement , or the result of bad
practices and excesses , or pernicious habits ,
contracted in youth , through ignorance.
They feel irritable , weak and nervous with
such distressing symptoms as backache ,
dizziness , shooting pains in head or chest ,
sometimes indigestion. The middle-aged
men , as well , suffer from exhaustion , loss of
manlypowcr , low spirits , impaired memory ,
and many derangements of mind and body.
The ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake
when the overworked business man attempts
to find rest in bed.
The physicians and specialists of the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute devote
their best energies to reclaiming and restor
ing such unfortunates to health and happi
ness. They have written a book of i63
pages , treating of these maladies and setting
forth a rational meant of home-treatment
for their cure. It is sent securely sealett , in
plain envelope , on receipt of 10 cents for
postage.
