BROOKLYN physician treated a patient for eight years for typhoid ma- laria, and finally lost the case, The autopsy was a vindication for malaria, in that it demonstrated that death was due to appendicitis. The error of diagnosis was extenuated, however, by the discovery of an abnormal ar- rangement of organs which could _ not have been diagnosed. The “doctor's professional brethren greatly regretted that he, though present at the autopsy, was unable to appreciate its develop- ments. The trouble was that the case he had taken was his own, so that he cared as little for the autopsy as the vic- tim of a February convention would care for subsequent pro- ceedings at Chicago. The Story, which is a True One, teaches that a Candidate who chooses to be his own Doctor, should plan to have his fun during the lifetime of the Patient. He will not En- joy the Autopsy, even though it Shows that Abnormality of the Patient's own Insides was Responsible for the Error in the Diagnosis. . . OLONEL WATTERSON’S prophecy that if Mr. Cleve- land is nominated he will lose New York State by 100,000 votes, is partially explained by the report that Lieut. Totten and Col. Watterson have formed a prophetic partnership, by the terms of which the Lieutenant does the figuring and the Colonel attends to the circulation. NEWLY formed trust has undertaken the financial management of all the Yale University athletics. No dividends are to be paid at present, but the profits of the business will be allowed to accumulate until such a surplus is formed as will warrant the engagement of a new faculty. The promotors of the enterprise feel that Yale athletics can never be thoroughly independent, and consequently thor- oughly successful, until they and the Yale faculty are under the same management. . . . ROFESSOR Alice Freeman Palmer, of Cambridge, Mass., has been Chicago is just starting an extra large and expensive college, with the understanding that it will cause the homes of Cook County to abound with baseball and football talent of a a quality not otherwise to be ob- © tained. If Mrs. Palmer has been saying anything to dispel this expectation she has shown herself a particularly untimely friend to the budding Chicago Uni- versity. . . . HE crowned feet of Europe are shaking in their shoes over the possibility of another visit from the Shah of Persia. If the stories told of the Shah's last visit are true, it is no injustice to him to assert that if the personal habits of the American hog were half as objectionable as his, not the uttermost achievements of diplomacy would avail to get American pork into any country in Europe. But if the Shah chooses to visit his royal brothers again, he will probably do it, and defile their palaces as he did before. There is just a chance that if he comes he may find his young cousin of Germany at home and out of temper. If he does, there may be some fun. HE Brewers’ Employees who met in convention the other day in Buffalo, made a mistake when they petitioned Governor Fifer of Illinois to pardon the Illinois imprisoned Anarchists. As zealous pro- motors of the consumption of beer, Anarchists would naturally appeal to the sympathies of the Brewers’ Employees. But Anarchists are just as ready to destroy breweries as beer; and that is what the Em- ployees in convention seem not to have remembered. No one who is willing to work has anything to gain by any show of favor to anarchism. comicbooks.com
