How Muldoon, the Wrestler, Keeps Himself in Good Condition. “Tm thirty-seven years old, but I can still hold my own with men ten years younger,” said Wm. Muldoon, the wrestler, the other evening to @ Sram reporter. He had been ~ | talking in his quiet, sensible way of athletes and athletic training. “One of the first requi- ae te sites for a man who wants to become an athlete is a strong will; and a strong will is even more necessary for an athlete who wants to keep in condition. Ihave been at itnow twenty-five Years, for T was very small boy when I first be- | © came interested in athletic sports. Ihave been aprofessional foreighteenyears.

In the first place, I knew that I couldn't keep my strengh if I drank, smoked and indulged in other formas of dissipation which men who are well known and live much im public are apt to have thrown in their way, and then I had will- wer enough to avoid these temptations. It Bow been a hard . but T knew Thad to do it. I'm not a teetotaler, ut I never drink in saloons.

More About Medical Education. ‘To the Editor of Tue Eventne Star: The communication signed “B,” addressed to the editor of Tar Sram and appearing in last evening’s issue, on the subject of medical education suggests a few additional observ: tions. ‘The motive by which your correspon: ent is impelled. the specitic character of the reform which he would see effected and to hich he would draw public attention, is, I it, the improvement of the clinical facili- offered the medical student in this city. The necessity for reform in this particular is manifest. The hospitais im this city are too numerous, two of the principal ones which I ow call to mind rareiy. if ever, baving half of ir beds in use. Hiarmonious co-operation and an earnest disposition to aid the student clinically are certainly conspicuous for their absence, and instances of actual spite and jeal- ousy in certain of these hospitals, especially among their administrative officers, bave oc~ curred recently. These criticisms are not i tended to apply to all the hospitals. There one or two that are admirably conducted in every respect, and with which neither the student nor the general public has any oceasion to find fault. Nor do T cast any reflection on the hospital medical corps asa body, for the ngton are justly proud of the and skill and even the na- character, | tional reputation of most of their doctors— men who belong to these hospital staffs. ‘The subject of raising the standard of medi- cal education in the United States, on which “B.” dwells, is one that has been given much attention Intely by societies and in conven- tions, and by medical and other scientific jour- nals. and it is proper to say that the colleges of this city ere not behind those of other cities in the four-years-course movement. In fact, the institation to which he refers b; name in his letter may be said to have practi- cally a four years’ course. The examinations of this school are conspicuous for their and thorougliness, and it is ouly by great dilli gence and cloge attention that a student can pass them in three years, a large proportion of them requiring as many as five. More- over this ‘college is known to rank high among American medical colleges. It is very doubtful if one-fifth of those who matriculate in this city graduate within four Years. It should not be inferred that because the standard of medical education here and elsewhere can be raised it is not already high, relatively speaking. With one possible excep- tion the profession of medicine is the most ex- alted and honorable of all the branches of ha: man activity, pre-eminent in its usefulness to mankind, in its power for good. In the ad- vancement of medical science and art the Je have a peculiar and direct interest, and the doctor's knowledge can probably never become so vast as to be thought sufficient and complete.

R.R., on the 18th of last month, reduced the running time be- tween Washington and Philadelphia to three hours and fifteen minutes. ‘This stroke of en- terprise on the part of the B. & 0. aroused the the people to the fact that the traftic could no longer be held as a ménopoly by one line and they forced to accept such train service as chose to give. The business men and resi- dents of this city are therefore being again benefited by the competition which it was pre- dicted would follow the entrance of the b. & ©. into Philadelphia. ‘The number of trains run daily between here and Philadelphia is now about double what it was four years ago, before the Philadelphia Division of the B. & 0, was built. The precision and ease with which the fest schednle on the B. and O. has been maintained has demonstrated to its management the entire feasibility of ‘still further reducing the time With absolute safety.

A COMPLAIN OF CRUELTY WHICH AGENT KEY 18 INVESTIGATING, Agent Key, of the Humane society, is inves- tigating the killing of a mule in East Washing- ton Wednesday afternoon. The animal was killed on a vacant lot in square between 6th and 6th and A and B strects northeast, Mr. Key yesterday received a communication from one of the residents of that locality, com- plaining of the manner in which the killing was done. The complaint states that the mule was led to the vacant lot at 1:10 o'clock. One man held the animal by a halter, while the other fired five shots at it, each shot takin; effect in the animal’s head, The animal did not even fall, but was tied to the fence and permitted to re: there in agony until 2:25 o'clock, when the man returned and fired three more shots at the animal, which caused its deatb, The shooting. the complaint states, was done in view of thirty or forty windows. The complaint sugests that the person who did the shooting be prosceuted. Agent Key will probably swear out a warrant in the case, rete kisi The Prohibition Vote. To the Editor of Tue Everse Stan: In your paper of Tuesday evening, the 4th inst., under the head of ‘Political Notes,” you state that the decline of the prohibition vote, as compared with that of 1834, is “‘strikingly” shown by the New York Independent, and give |* that journal’s figures, by which it would appear that in several important states there has been a large falling off. Since you have kindly given the vote by states, it is deemed not alto- gether out of place to invite a comparison of Ih s figures with those published yesterday by you, aml a comparison of the latter with the returns for 1834, when it will be found that the most “‘striking” feature of the Independent's exhibit, is a most “striking” dis- regard for the truth. In three of the states named the alleged “decline” is more than double the vote of those states in 1884, and just how such a-‘decline” could be figured out asses my comprehension. The truth is that e seven states named show, in the aggregate, again of more than 27,000, or nearly 45 per cent, and in three of them the gain exceeds 100 cent over the vote of 1884. With the In- Rependent's fecilitics for obtaining information such statements (or mis-statements) can scarcely be charged to ignorance. It is a fact worthy of note that the same journals most active in misrepresenting the prohibition party during the campaign are the ones now labor- ing most assiduously to rob the party of the fruits of its labors by falsifying the result. Be- lieving that no honest journalist will decline to right a wrong when pointed out, I remain, A PRontsrrionist, Goupex Cross Norzs.—The fifth annual session of the Immediate Fund association of the United Order of Golden Cross was held last evening in Stidham’s hall after the regular session of Halcyon commandery.
