Railroad ttorr and shippers’ representa- tives were agreed in opposing the divorce. The first speaker was B. L Spock, representing the New Haven, who made an argument for an hour and five minutes on that side. John Noble, representing the Plymouth Cordage Company, followed with an eight minute talk along the same lines. W. F. Garcelon of Bos- ton spoke for a quarter of an hour in opposition to the divorce, in be- half of a large number of manufac- turing concerns in Rhode Island and other New England states. Mr. Wa- terman closed the morning session with his argument. In the afternoon W. H. Chandler, | the New in combination is separated. It is thought by some that this is the attitude of the commission 1i- self, judging from passages in its annual report, which have been quot- | ed in this correspondence, wherein the attention of congress was called to the situation and the suggestion was submitted that the law might be amended so as to give the commission wider discretionary power to permit continued control of water lines by rail lines. However, Examiner Hamilton Eld- er, attorney on the staff of the com- mission; Examiner Boole, who took testimony in this case and H. LaRue Brown and other agents of the de- partment of justice are in favor of a givorce.

(From the Wall Street Journal.) With gratification we note what will surprise most medical practitioners, that the famous Mayo brothers of Rochester, Minn, have now reached an income basis of $100,000 a month. The work ,of course, is not accom- plished alone by two surgeons, how- ever great their skill. They have twelve assistants of the highest medi- But they per- mit no patient to set a price upon the services of their institution. E. H. Harriman had not money enough to induce them to leave their hospital and attend him in New York; and James J. Hill was not permitted to say as to how much he was to be charged. Some years ago Hill arrived at Rochester in his private car and sent for the Mayo brothers and received Teply that his case would be attended to at the hospital. He stormed as he left his private car and wended his way thither and stormed again when he found himself taken in hand by assistants who diagnosed his case and made engagement for his return at a specified hour several days later.

The note, however, ‘was no politer than that which came back returning the check and moting that in due season a bill would be sent him.

She assented; the operation was successful, system” than it would be under the investigations of the town tax as- sessors. Mr. Hill would have discovered that after making reasonable deductions the charge for a successful major operation was 10 per cent. of the patient’s income for one year.
