B. Noyes, Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Co. Subscribed and sworn to before me this twenty-ninth day of April, A. D. 1839. Joux T. C. Crank, Notary Pubiic. oo The fate of so many great estates which have been devoured, after the death of their own- ers, by persons who were not intended to share in them, has not prevented rich men, adepts in business and the law, from bequeathing heavy lawsuits as legacies to their kindred. Samuel J. Tilden’s case is one in point. No lawyer in New York perhaps has drawn better wills for wealthy men than he, and yet that which he drew for himself has been a source of unceas- ing controversy from the day of his death. Outside of his will, moreover, he left some matters in a sadly unsettled state. Dr. J. C. Simmons, who claims that he alone kept the old gentleman alive for his last three years on earth, is suing for the payment of his bill for $143,000. This is an average charge of 247,666.66 a year, or at the rate of about 2150 a day. That would be very handsome pay for asingle patient, and a half- dozen such would give a physician an income on which even a man of nice tastes could live in comparative comfort. It is doubtful, how- ever, whether the courts, ina quantum meruit case like this, will consent to raise the stand- ard of medical charges to quite so high a point. It would cast too much of a reflection upon the army of skiiful, earnest men of science who are serving their generation as well as Dr. Simmons has served his, and modestly content- ing themselves with from two to five dollars & visit. es To darken the sunshine of the centennial season comes the news of the dreadful disaster on the Grand Trunk railway, near Hamilton, Ontario. The republic has made splendid ad- vances, since the adoption of the Constitution, in everything pertaining to the useful arts; but it is questionable whether cur ancestors of the revolutionary . if they could revisit the scenes of their earthly pilgrimage, would con- sider such a slaughter of humankind as indica- tive of much of an improvement in the meth- ods of travel. The lumbering stage-coach of the old days uever burned its passengers alive, It is not necessary to sacrifice safety in secur- ing speed and comfort, as is too often done on American rai ys with defective road-beds and rails and stove-heated cars, The perfect method of sportation will be obtained when we travel as much more safely than our ancestors as we do more swiltly and more com- fortably. It may not be necessary for Colonel Dudley to go as far as the post-office in search of the person who tampered with his correspondence, and gave the garbled Van Pelt letter to press, If be was able so promptly to produce the text of the original missive, he must have kept a copy of it, An enemy, rifling the mail for the purpose of discovering Colonel Duiley’s secrets, would have been likely to transcribe the letter verbatim if deeming it of any importance atall. The garbling locks more like the work of what the poet calls some “blanked good- natured frien: at this end of the line, pos- sibly—who got a glimpse of the text, and repro- duced it from memory as a spicy tidbit. a The reproduction of Washington's entry by water into New York which entertains the cen- tennial visitors to-day will not be the least inter- esting of the features of the celebration.and the opportunities for display are among the Breatest. The inconveniences of the parades on land through narrow, crowded streets will not be experienced. $$$ Samoan Commissioner Bates is forgiven. Sweet peace prevails at Berlin. Bismarck will continue to tread the back-track so far as claims of German supremacy in Samoa are concerned, bat will insist that the Samoans be compelled to repay losses incurred by Germany in push- ing forcibly the very claims now disavowed, With a reversal of the old method of treating yellow fever by denying its existence, and the adoption of energetic suppressive measures at the first appearance of the disease, Florida is confident that an epidemic will be prevented this year. ——_—___—— + <-____ While the governors and other state officers from all over the Union are in New York city attending the celebration, who is going to run their governments at home? The White Caps | and the bald-knobbers, the anarchists and the other off-color people who make trouble for the authorities, must reve the thought of their opportunities this week, whether they embrace them or not. The spring flood visits B of the capital, and exciting times result m the ancient village. Washington petitions for the } continued absence of Potomac floods until the work on the flats is in condition to resist the freshets, and the obstructive nuisance of the Long Bridge has been abated. oo Some of the electric companies in New York city are whining over the loss they have suf- fered by Mayor Grant's raid on the poles and wires. * It is estimated that the cost of replac- ing such a plant as has been destroyed would be not less than two hundred dollars for each pole with its fixtures. And yet every company was given abundant time to get its poles down and lay its wires underground. Only those who rejected the day of grace were the sufferers when it was past. The New York incident may contain a wholesome lesson for electric men in other cities to study. densburg instead If Samuel J. Tilden was proud of his title as &@ great democratic war horse, it will be no dis- respect to Dr. Simmons, his physician, to call him a prodigious charger. nha se If the industrial parade at the New York cel- ebration takes eighteen hours to pass a given f © THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C..
