The membership of the arbitration commission named by the President to settle the coal strike attains the high average of personal character and of eminence in the world of affairs prophesied of it. And chief in the first particular and not least in the latter is the mem- ber added by the President of his own volition, Bishop John L. Spalding, of Peoria. A great churchman, a pro- found student of industrial problems, the Bishop's pres- ance will strengthen an otherwise strong commission of which he would be the ideal presiding officer. The vexed question of the miners’ direct personal representatives in the Board seems to have been happily solved by the choice of Bishop Spalding and of FE. E. Clark, Grand Chief of the Order of Railroad Conductors. Mr. Clark {s the “sociologist” provided for in the opera- tors’ plan of a commission. conspicuously able delegates in a tribunal of six. Their interests are safe in these competent hands. The arbitration and to pass on the commission have much to lose by a rejection of the conciliatory terms proposed or a refusal to indorse the President's appointees. To accept them frankly and to put a long-delayed! end to this most unfortunate of industrial quarrels will ie ‘ their labors with honor to themselves and with the de- served gratitude of the public. | a | © Wedding Ring.—A Brooklyn man has introduced a new feature in weddings by dispensing with the ring and substituting a lily as the bride's symbol and a rej, red rose as his own, This Is very sweet, but most brides will prefer the ring. | MR.

Some years ago two Spanish physicians, I. Pujador y Faura and J.

In view of this example M. A. Tobeltz, of the fac- ult¥ of medicine of Gratz, has since 1899 employed the same treatment’ with the scarlet fever patients in the hospital of M. F.
