LUDLAS exid that he bad been a member of the Faculty of the Hahnemann College for twenty consecu- tive years, and had signed every diploma issued during thattime. He asked to be excused, in- ssmuch as be thought it improper that he ebould be present. Unon motion of Dr. Chamberlin he was ex- cased: ‘Lawyer Pratt said that he had prepared and would present the special charges and specifica- tious under oath. He had served a request for the production of certain letters in the pos- eession of Dr. Sherman, of Milwaukee. Certain Jetters had been written by Dr. Hoyne, Regis- trar of the College, to Dr. Sherman, of Milwau- kee, concerning matriculatious. ‘The Doctor then read the charges. Before the reading of the. charges Dr. Ball wanted . 4E SCOPE OF THE EXAMINATION fixed by the Board. As far as the bringing out of facts was concerned the College was ready to procced, but they wanted the limit of investiga- tion fixed. The College was ready to con fess judgment to all the charges and then explain, rit would call in witnesses and enter into the ural in the manner of a legal investigation. jt was decided to go back -of July 1of last eats Mr. Pratt then read 7 ‘THE SPECIFICATIONS, commencing with the affidavit of Dr. Whitman, ef Belvidere, Ull., to the effect that the College dvouferred upon F. M. Hinz, Sarah C. Har- ‘and W. A. Whippey, the titles of Af. D. and tiglomas of the College, with the full _knowl- ds hose persons had not attended two surses of lectures at the College. The game affidavit made the same charges acainst F. Soun, of Milwaukee,—that he had not attended ‘jnedull complement of Jectures, and had secured ina great. multitude of cases were spread broad- vast through the country. ch said thut it was his experience that interviews were not always correct. ‘Mr. Judd said that the interview had stood uncontradicted by the College. He sugeested quat the Board was unable to compel the at- tendance.of witnesses, and therefore more lati- tude should be allowed than in examivations Yefore courts of competent jurisdiction. The College should be put upon its own exculpa- tion, Rivid rules of evidence would, if adhered to, prevent the establishing of the guilt of the Colleges ‘Dr. Hall said that the Collere desired the whole truth of the matter and— Here he was interrupted by Dr. Gregory, who ssid that the jatitude of. tne discussion indi- cateda protracted trial of about two weeks’ éoration. Much irrelevant matter Lad already heen presenied, and it seemed to the speaker thst the ristof the matter might be broughs ‘outat once. Mr. Pratt said that be had FURTHER EVIDENCE . toproduce. In it was the interview in question. This interview Mr. Pratt procteded to read. He also read the letter of Dr. Small published about ‘the time of the interview. Mr. Pratt. further announced that he had affidavits to offer. The Board decided that the affidavits could be read, and Mr. Pratt thereupon read. the affidavit of Dr. E. N. Rosencranz, ot Milwaukee, whose tes- ‘mony is given below. The Board asked what Dr. Hall had to say. Dr. Hall said that he wanted the prosecution to close their case. He denied in general the contents of the affiday ‘There were truths in ie affidavits, but he as an individual represent- a trot the College was not prepared to admit anything. _*You admit the facts and deny the concla- sions?” Mr. Pratt suggested. “I don't know what you call facts,” replied Dr. Hall. “Ideny the impression which those silidavits are intended to create.”” , The. Buard then asked that the prosecution Present their witnesses. __ DR. E, 3. ROSENCRANZ, of Milwaukee, was then sworn. He was 9 grad- uate of the Detroit Medical College, and of the Hahnemann College, of Chicago; graduated at is last institution in 1875, and had practiced at Milwauicee for fonr years; knew Dr. Joan at Milwaukee, and bad heard that be was pot 3 raduate, was in a law cae with = bim ne and Dr. John there testified tbat be & studied medicine in.

Hinz was not sosen it from Milwaukee long enough to have at- fended even one course of lectures at aus col- rire Witness, alter his remonstrance to Dr. NDE, menonstrated toDr. Sherman, Dr. Dar = of Manitowoc, and others, and ba " jaded | to present the case pefore the alum- Ri and request united action directed toward the college. He had hoped to kcep the matt er from public scandal. He had obtained the. co- operations and signatures of several of u c alumni at = Milwaukee, and had sent copies of the circulars _(theretofore rer ) to about 400 ‘graduates. He nad taken is action because he thought the alumni out- raged. He consulted with no one in Chicazo, and no one connected with any medical institu- tion lad sucgested anything like a prosecution, nor had any medical institutions taken 5 hand in the prosecution. About 150 letters had been treccived in response to the aforesaid circulars. Mr, Pratt asked witecss whether be had heard of many cases like unto the {Hinz case and the John case, and witness said that he had heard of good many. . ‘THE CROSS-SXAMINATION, conducted by Dr. Hall, developed the statement trom witness that he knew nothiug of the work- ings of medical colleges in gepcral; witness had never been a medical instructor in an insticu- tion of learning. He had corresponded with medical Professors from cities other than Chi- cago, and bad corresponded with Dr. J. 8. Mitchell, of the Chicago Homeopathic College. He had talked with Dr. Danforth (who had re- cecently moved to Milwaukeé) about the affairs at Hahnemann, but had never met him till he met him at Milwaukee, Witness lad never read any of Dr. Sherman’s letters from Dr. Hoyne ‘without Dr. Sherman’s permis- sion. Witness had heard that Dr. Sher- man had said that he, Sherman, had handed the witness one of the letters inadyertently. Witness bad read und com- mented upon that letter in Dr, Suerman’s pres- ence, and there was nothing said at that time about the letter being the wrong onc. In‘ the opinion of witness, Drs. Sherman and Sehloc- mich were reputable men und competent physi- cians. He had never had his tocs stepped upon by Dr. Jobn; knew nothing about Dr. John’s ability except what ne had gethered from the statements Which be had made to the Mcdicat Society in describing noticeable cases of discasc. Witness was Presidentof the Milwaukee Medical Society, and Dr. Hinz was a member thereof. Dr. Hinz was Health Officer of the South Side of Milwaukee, and was elected by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Mil- In reply to the Board, witness sthted that Dr. Hinz had practiced at Milwaukee about five years; that the medical socicty of which witness was President was called the ‘Milwaukee Academy of Medicine”; and that Dr. Jonn had quite an extensive practice und Dr. Hinz one of no mezn proportions. ‘the latter’s prac- tice was principally among the Poles, and wit- ness regarded him as an illiterate man. Wit- ‘ess’ opinion was that no man was qualifled to practice medicine who had uot fuitilled the re- quirements of medical colleges und the State Board, and he did not regard Hinz or John as competent men. After the conclusion of Dr. Rosenberg's tes- timuny the Board adjourned for dinner. DRE. W. H. WOODYAT was the first witness put on the stand in the afternoon. He testified that he knew Mrs. Sarah C. Harris, who graduated at the Habne- mann Medical College this year. Sne made ap- plication for admission to the Chicazo Home- opathic College,—ranted to become a member of the senior class and graduate after taking ove course of lectures. Her application was re- jected because the rule of the State Board of Health was very clear and distinct and uniis- takable on thst point; that if that resolution, With which she was familiar, were comphed with, she could ece hersclf that she was not 4 competent person to enter the graduating class. She said it was necessary for her to get through as quickly as possible on account of au affliction of ber eyes. She said she had attended some lectures on medical subjects in 1$19 or 1550, at Middle- bury, O., delivered by a docter; that she had practiced for years, and based her application upon her knowledge gained in that way. The jectures weredelivered beforea ladies’ seminary. Hie saw her soon after she had matriculated av Hahnemann College, and she said she hoped to gain her point there. He asked berif she was to be craduated there. She said she hoped to,— that she hoped to get the influence of the Dean ‘Dr. R. Lidlam). who was.also a member of the tate Board of Health. DR. J. 8. MITCHELL, President of the Chicago Homeopathic Medical College, testified that he had never secn Mrs. Harris, bat haa received a letter from her mak- ing application to attend one course of lectures, —Snter the advanced class, and, if qualified at the end of the term, to get a diploma. This was contrary to the rule of the State Board, and he Gid not submit the application to the Faculty. She stated that, twenty-nine years ago, she had passed through a thorough course of physiology and bygicne with a view to lecturing to ladies, and ebe bad lectured. Every reputable colleze reauired 2 two years’ course. He kuew of none t Hahnemann that had not done so. He Knew W. "hippy, of Goshen, Ind. He ap- plied for admission to the Chicago Uomeopathic College, desiring to graduate aiter a single course, but Was not admitted, as he presented no evidence of previons study. Wituess learned afterwards tat he had matriculated dan. 27 at Hahnemann, graduated Feb. 28 (ten days being required for the examinations) und. got an a enndem degree. A yreat many collezes had a spring course of six weelss, or the whole interval between the regular courses, but reputable col- Jeses did not count it. He understood by “two courses”! two winter courses. ‘Mr. Pratt asked if he knew of any other simi- lar cases. * ‘Witness said he knew of half a dozen cases that happened before the State Boara rule was adopted. ‘On the cross-examination, witness said he was at one time counected with Hahnemann Collece, aud perfect barmony did not prevail between himself andthe Facyity. He and others with- drew and gave their reasons in an open letter. ‘Dr. Wood said the reasons were untrue, and grew out of the same spirit as the present charges. A ‘Mr. Pratt had no objections to the Doctor's going back of July, 1878 if he were ollowed to do it. ‘Witness eaid he sent out a circular offering to confer the ad eundem degree on those who gradu- ated at Hahnemann previous to 1877, when he Jeft there. ‘The consideration was $5 for the parchment. About fifty cot their degree. None of the agplicants had attended lectures or undcr~ gone an examination in the Chicago Médical College. ‘ti -Jaw requiring the pre- sentation of a diploma,—no examisation being insisted on if the applicant of the ad enudem dearee was a graduate of a rezular homeopathic coliege, but if of an Old School college be must pass au examination in materia medica and the ory and practice. Three of those who applied Gid not ret the degree, on account of irregular- ity. In his reply to Mrs. Harris, be told her that he couldn’t entertain her proposition, as it {yas contrary to tke rules of the College and of the resolution of the State Board, and he ad- it would be better to atuend two courses. The firm of Whippy & Kryder bad sent a student to the Chicago College. if a man came and said he had attended onc course of lectures elsewhere. and desired to enter the senior class, he would be calied on for his at- tendance tickets, which students usually pre- yised ber tbat serve. “ é ‘This ended the case of the complainants. : DE. W. C. BARKER, mikeran, was called ot bebalf of the col- es Le said he was familar with the institu: tion sinve its. organization. The reputation of the college was good—very good. He bad never heard it spoken of derogatorily until the other institution was started. He had heard two of the Faculty ot the Chicago Homeopathic Med- ieat Colleze (‘Looker aud Kippax) speak in that way of Hubnemaon. F. §. WHITMAN, of Belvidere, Il., testified that he was a gradu- ate of Hahnemann and made the charges, and employed counsel to prosecute the case. His object wes to learn the truth of certain rumors. Mr. Judd was sworn, but refused to tell by qhom he was employed. ‘Mr. Pratt testified that he was employed for Whitman by Dr. Joseph 8. Mitchell, and he em- ju ed. the truth,” said Mr. Judds “pot I ik they had a right to know.” _ ‘DR. A. E. SMALL testified he had been connected for seven years with a homeopathic coliege in Philadelphia,— the first one established,—and since with Habne- mann. Its requirements, 0 far as he knew, did Rot differ from those of ollier colleges. Labne- mann Faculty considered an e uiyalent of 2 course of lectures was the p Reouts le Practles icine for five years, certified to y- Sana it ‘one’ iurnisned evidence. thereof sicians. le hie could enter the higher class. He could. also do 50 after ‘a pupilagé of three years, or attending ove course ‘of lectures. He never knew of the recu- Jation of the State Board requiring tw6 courses of tectures before graduation, He jthougnt Whippy was matricutated in November. He was not graduated, but received the ad eundem degree. Whippy bad been a physician Jor twelve years, aud bada certificate of gradua- tion in the three principal branches of medicine. Hahnemann bad followed the custom of all the colleges,—admitted qualified persons to the senicr class. ‘The cauivaients would be aban- doned if the State Board so ordered, and the college would require in all cases two. fall courses of —_ectures. Be had no knowledge of the proposition of Habnemann to Dr. John, of Milwaukee, that, if he came down with $55 and passed an examina tion, he could get a diploma. | ‘The proposition to get 2 diploma for bim originated with some friends, and they were told if be was aD edu- cated man, and thoroughly qualified, and want- ed to ‘pass a rigid examination and get bis diploma, he mignt take the risk without attend- ing lectures,. the cost. of which was. $55. Ho came, and was examined in Germas.. His im- periect knowledge. of English was urged asa reason for not attending lectures. DR. E. S. SMITH testified that he was familiar with the regula- tions of Hatinemann, and that there had been no change in them since July. He knew of no case of clear diploma-selling, and didn’t believe it had ever been done. Dr. A. P. Cole testified as to the excellence of Hahbemann. He was one of these who exam- ined John for a final degree. That course was taken with him because he couldn’t understand thé English longuage. Be didn’s think the rule of the State Board applied to Germans and Frenchmen. Since July, 1873, the Faculty had been more careful about qualifications. That was on account of the rule of the State Board, which the Faculty had knowledge of. J.D. W. HEATH, of °79, testified as to the examinations, which he said were thorough, and, to show it, drew from. his pocket a lot of manuscript which embodied the questions ed. No prompting was allowed. Dr. W. J. Hawkes and Dr. T. 8. Hone, of Hahnemann, gave corroborative testimony. The last witness presented several letters indorsing Tinz,—one of them certifying that he had practic ed medicine fortive years and was in good stand- ing. He did not attend all the lectures. ‘There was no way of telling whether a student attend- ed regularly unless he always occupied the same seat all the time. Mrs. Harris told him she had applied to the Chicago Homeopathic College and received an insulting reply. She produced letters and certificates from reputable physicians. To the name of one of them, how- propound- ever, “M. D.” had beeo added in pencil by some one other than the writer. His understanding was that she was admitted on one course and practice. Sho was on educated and an accomplished lady. Whippy-had practiced, to his knowledge, teu or eleven years. He received the ad eundem de- gree after undergoing a practical examination. Tt was conferred upon those considered worthy, —an honorary degree; but it eave power and Heense to practice medicine. John did not grad- uate. 5 ne é ‘Witness hadn’t some letters which’ thé: com- plainants wanted, and it came out that be had telegraphed Dr. Sherman, of Milwaukee, not to give them-up “for the present.” But witness said be had no objection to their production. Mr. Pratt claimed that, they showed as plain 2 case of diploma-selling as ever occurred, and be desired it stipulated that they should be for- warded to the Board. This was agreed to. SEVERAL LETTERS were read, in one of which had been inclosed a check for $55. -One, dated Feb. 20, satd John would pe down the.next day to be examined, aud it was hoped he would get a diploma if he came up to the standard of the collexe. ‘On the cross, witness said the $55 was the fee for admission to the lectures. ‘Ihe agreement was to return the money if he did not graduate. Such ‘an agreement was never made before. It was doze to oblige Dr. Sherman. A special committee examined John, and he was found not qualified. if o student bought a ticket and didn’t attend the lectures, it was his own loss. He would be graduated if he passed the examination. The rule of the State Board was known to the Faculty, but not dis- cussed by them. ‘There was no change in the requirements of the college on account of it. ‘The idea of it was believed to be to cut off col- jezes that gave diplomas without avy lectures. Jts charter gave Halmemann power to confer ad eundem degrees without examination or reference to qualifications. Witness said Mrs. Harris did not receive an adecundem. As to Whippy, there was no cvi- dence that he bad previous: medical knowledze, except his own word. He said be had not ap- plied to the Chicago Homeopathic Medical College. Mrs. Harris was accepted on the understanding: that she had attended a course of lectures i a medical college. She did not say she had been rejected by the Chicago College for not having done go. He didn’tknow whetber the four caseS were fair samples of the eare exercised. ‘This closed the case of the college. UNDER ADVISEMENT. Alter a recess of half an hour, the conusel oc- cupied twenty thinutes apiece in talking, when the Board touk the case under advisement, the President. saying that a decision would be an- nounced at a future meeting. BURGLARY. Daly, Henrotin & Co. Burglars continue to make good hauls in all parts of the city. Theyareno respecters of persons, and Friday night proved it by robbing -the store of the Chairman of the Police Com- mittee, Ald. Daly, doing a millinery business at Nos. 144 and 146 Wabash avenue under the firm name of Daly, Henrotin & Co. Entrance was gained ina very shrewd manner, showing the job had been thoroughly planned before they attempted to carry it into execution. A new building is in process of erection next door south to the store. And after selecting a place under the sidewalk of this new build- ing, where they could dig through the brick party wall dividing the space under the sidewalk, they broke open the workmen’s shed standing upon the street, aud helped themselves to such tools as they needed in removing the brick. They then made ahole about three feet square, by lifting out the bricks separately. This gave access first to the coal hole, and thence to the basement of the millinery store. By prying open a small frame door, entrance was ef- fected to the store floor, and upon reaching there they coolly lit the gas and leisurely helped themsclves to a large quantity, of millinery, velvet, laces, Brussels net silks and ribbons. Most of these goods were upon shelves rizht near the front windows. In the rear of the store is the office. The burglars made ineffectial attempts to pry open tio safes, and also a large vault door, but only partially succeeded. ‘They pried, open every compartment in the desks, and read and ran- sacked all the papers, checks, and other docu- ments, leaving. tem’ all carefully arranged in piles upon the desks. ‘Ihe firm estimate their Joss at about $400. It ecems curious that the burglars could ‘remain so long undisturbed in the store, as it is closely watched by the city police, and also by Pinkerton’s preventive watch. MASKED ROBBEBS. Late Jast Thursday night three men with their faces concealed under veils or handker- ehicfs hastily entered the saloon of August Krieger, at the corner of Hanover and Bushnell streets; and, presenting revolvers at the bead of the proprietor. who was alone in the place, they ordered him to keep quict. One of the trio then ran behind the couuter and gathered together about 865 in cash, carrying away with him the money-drawer and contents. The fourth member of the gang, who had remained on the outside upen the lookout, gave the word, and the robbers then bastily left tte place. ‘The noise and appearance of the men so frightened Mrs. Krieger, who ran tober husband's assistance, that she is dangerously ill ever since, ‘The robbery was reported at the Twenty-second Street Station, Friday morping, and Officers Lacey and Carroll were sent out to work up the case. The empty drawer was found by them in an alley near the corner of Bushuell and Twenty-third streets, and they also found person who had seen the thieves carrying the drawer. By faithfully working up the clew obtained in this’ manner, they yesterday arrested two notorious North Division thieves named James Halligan and Joseph Wall. ‘The arrest of the other two {s only a question of time, as they are both well known. ‘The prisoners have been positively identified by Matt Farrell, of No. 15 Hanover street, and by H.C. Frantz, who saw them come out of the saloon. Justice Summerfield held them in $000 bail’ cach untit the 16th. It is quite possible that these fellows are the ones who have been do- ing ali this sort of work, aud, if 60, it is cer- tain that they know something concerning the murder of old man Bohnow. ———— GERSTER’S DEPARTURE.

Harper's azar. _|. ‘The reyiyal of, Pompadour and Marie Antoi- nette styles is the most. ble feature of the display at the “openings” at fashionable mo- distes? and furnishing houses. The panier dravery, which is the distinguishing characteris- tic of these styles, is seen on the richest trained dresses for receptions and dinners, and on toi- Jettes of simpler fabrics for carriage, visiting, and house dresses. This bouffant draping is the reaction that follows the too clinging Princesse Gress, and is formed by scarfs or short upper skirts laid in soft pleats that curve away from the front of the figure over the hips, and are lost in the bunched-up drapery of the back breadths. The regular panier pouf across the back {is also seen, but at present the preference is given to the full scarfs on the hips and flowing billowy drapery at the back. In some instances the foundation -of the dress remains in Princesse shape—that is, with waist and skirt in oue picce,—but the newest evening dresses have separate corsages with trimmed trained skirts. When this corsage is low in the neck it has very few seams, yet fits as emoothly asacorset. Thereis ascam down the middle of the front, one dart on each side of it, an wo- der-arm seam, anda side form. ‘The front and back are shapely pointed, or else they aresmooth over the hips likes cuirass. The neck is round or square, and is surrounded with softtalle puff- ings, pleating, or lace, that seem intended to fill up the waist toa proper hight; the sleeve is the merest band. When the corsage is high, the front is cut surplice or else square, and the transparent sleeves reach to the elbow. Some- times tlie corsage takes 2 more genuine basque shape, und in many instances it is extended so far over the hips that the edges are caught up in curved pleats to Grape the hips en panier. Be- low the scari on the hipsasecond curved drapery isformed on the front and side gores, and in many dresses three scarfs are used. ‘The richest _Pompadour brocades and Marie Antoinette stripes are uscd for these dresses in satin, Chambery gauze, and silk, with flowers, fringe, and lace trimmings. ‘The figured fabric is used for the corsage, the paniers, and train, while the skirt is of plain goods. Shirred sill plastrons are down the front of many corsages, vith the panier curving away gracefully on the sides, and pyramids of pleatings on the lower part of the ‘petticoat front. ‘fhe flowers for trimming are used in most original ways. Some garlands of forget-me-nots with roscs will be curved on the sides, following the panier outlines; other dresses have bouquets of small rose-buds ect at intervals down the entire front, while a wreath of buds trims each armhole and covers the tiny sleeve; a gilt or silver lattice with wild roses runniug over it forms a tablier; fringes are made of fiela-daisies and long-stemmed rose- buds; tinsel flowers are on creamy white dresses. while other delicate shades are enriched by garniture of the dark folfage of the coleus, bezonia leaves, thistles, ete, Pearl passe- mepterie, pearl ,fringe, and numberless loops and ends of satin ribbon make variety in the trimmings. Contrasts of color are used in the fabrics, and these are repeated in the pleatings of crepe lisse, the feathery fringes, embrolder- jes on transparent fabrics, and in Ince. Breton Jace is used alike on the richest and the simplest dresses. NEIY WRAPS EN PANIER. ‘The newest wraps have panier attachments and bouffant backs. At the first glimpse these appear sensational, ‘but it is suggested that they will give the new effect to last year’s costumes that have no paniers. Pingat makes a squall round cape of Sicilienne, deeply edged with net- ted jet; the front ot this extends loog like a pasque, and is curved back over the hips and draped there in small bouffant loops; the arms come out from under the cape, and ate not coy- ered. This-is, like many othernew things, a re- yival of a garment in vorue about ten years ago. Still another panier mantle—designed by Worth —is of camel's hair, and quite short, consisting of nscarf with holes cut to pass the arm through, while the front ends curve backward in easy folds and meet bebind; the only seam is down the mid- @le of the back. A third novelty is a fichu with the front ends turned up, allowing the fullness telook like a blouse. ‘The bulk of the importa- tions, however, is made up of _fichus, scarf man- tles, and those with sqaare Huogarian sleeves such a5 have already been descrived. Black moire antique is new for these wraps, while oth- ers are of black satio, Chioa crepe, Sicilienne, repped silk, or camel’s-hair, Netted jet, jet fringe, jet lace, passementerie, and rosette orna- ments are elaborately used on these mantles; there are also many trimmed with iridescent beads showing every color of the rainbow, while others have gold aud jet beads together. and still others have steel, gold, and red beads of coral hues appearing on the passementerics. Evening wraps for balls and the opera are made of new white roeades partly silk and partly wool, in patterns that look like embroid- ery, and are trimmed with white cord and pearl T Cae z passementeries, cord fringes, and white Spanish Jace. A loug scarf of cee panish lace is then worn over the head and shoulders,—a becoming sashion t that some ladies are using over their SOCIETY TOPICS. i Queen Victoria wore at her son's wedding the great kob-inoor blazing in a brooch on her black dress.

A very beautiful style, which has its relation to the various and elegant combs now worn, is that of the short vail falling from the back of the head, which some of the ultra-fashionables are reintroducing.
