o I Today We Celebrate. 0o Ciarles Anderson Dana, America's Greatest Journalist. Charles Anderson Dana was born 100 years ago yesterday, Aug. 8, 1819. He studied at Harvard, but owinig to defective eyesight, did not. gradhiate. In 1841 he joined the Brook Farm association. This wa4 a communistic experiment, founded in that year at West Roxbury, Mass. The Brook Farm Association of Edu cation and Agriculture, as it was of ficially styled, was an attempt to solve the social problem through the institution of equality in rewards and adaption of tasks to individual ca pacities. Ripley, Channing, Emer son, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Dwight, and Margaret Fuller were leading members. All members, without dis tinction of sex, had to labor an al loted period each day, either on the farm or in the workshop attached to the main institution. All employ ments were Ipaid substantially alike. All shared the same food at the same table; all owned a like portion of the property belonging to the establish ment. At the time of its organiza tion the community had 20 members. In the first three years the number grew to about 70. It attracted much attention, and was visited by thou sands of persons from all parts of the country. In 1847, however, on ac count of enthusiasm having waned, the society was dissolved. With Ripley, the founder of the society, Dana became associated with the New York Tribunie. In 1862 dis agreemnent with Horace Greeley in war politics forced his resignation. Dana was assistant secretary of war in 1863-4. After that he edited the Chicago Republican, which failed. He then returned to New York and became part proprietor and editor in-chief of the New York Sun-a position which he held from 1868 to the time of his death on Oct. 17, 1897. Mr. Dana was in many ways the most noted journalist in the coun try. Hie had a brilliant intellect, a finished and 'incisive style, and a gift for irony which made .him a dangerous enemy. He was, how ever, generally believed to be so in tense in his prejudices that he failed to acquire the authority to which his talents entitled him. Women in the Practice of Medicine. In New York city today, it is a common Occurrence, after (lodging an ambulance, which has the right of way, to see a woman maintaining what appears to be a precarious hold on the end of the ambulance. From her pocket protrudes a stethescope- for she is a physician, officially con nected with the hospital, which has sent her out to administer medical care to the patient during the transit to the hospital. The first woman who ever ob taided, a medical diploma in the United States was Elizabeth Black well-born in 1821-died in 191(1. She was born in Bristol, England. Circumstances induced the family to emigrate to New York, and they aft erwards went to Cincinnati. Miss Blackwell, in 1838, with two elder sisters, opened a boarding school, which soon had a large attendance.

After three years' further work a, a teacher, during which time she devoted the whole of her leisure timne to the study of medical and anatom ical books, she went to Philadelphia, where she applied in vain for admis sion to medical schools.

Then she went to Europe in order to prosecute her studies further. In Paris she was told that it would he imlpossible for her to gainll entranlc to the schools or hospitals there un less she adopted male attire--a sug gestion repugnant to her taste and !to the great object she had in view- the recognition of women lihysicians.

Two members of the staff have been fined a total of $9,500, on charges of sedition, charges which were the direct result of the effort of the corrupt political machine in Montana to put a free press out of business. The cases have been appealed to the State Supreme Court. It requires money to fight these cases through the various courts; it takes money for travel ing expenses, etc., for transcripts of evidence and stenographers' hire. None of the money goes to pay lawyers' fees, the lawyers en gaged in the cases not only hav ing donated their services, but ac tually paying their own expenses. The fines imposed and the expenses of fighting the cases through the courts, are the result of the Bulletin Staff keep ing the Bulletin alive, despite the order issued by the copper interests---and if you believe the Bulletin has been of service to the cause of labor and the honest element generally, you. should help defray the ex penses incident to the fight for a FREE PRESS by contributing according to your means. The-need for funds is imperative and you should not delay sending in your contributions.
