WHO'S YOUR DOCTOR? Evidently the medical profession does not care who practices It. I was declared at a mectiny of the council of education of the American Medical association, which is composed of members of various state boards of examiners, that out of tho 4.000 doctors graduated annually by the medical colleges only 1,000 are qualified to practice medicine, and that the lnsistance of tho other 3.000 upon following the trade of doctoring was a menace to the health and life of tho communities in which they attempted to practice. The inference is that many of the "recognized" medical colleges are no better than the notorious diploma factories which nourished ten and fifteen years ago and which were wont to turn loose upon a guileless public a horde of quacks and charletans to poison the human system and pervert nature. It was confessed nt the meeting which was held yesterday in Chicago that many of tho "recognized" colleges have been and nro accepting students who the professors know aro wholly unfit through natural limitations and lack of primary education to practice the profession of medicine and that such students after being crammed and coached through a course that leaves no Impression upon them, aro given diplomas and turned loose to take liberties with that sacred commodity, human life. It Is a humiliating and alarming confession. When doctors who have made reputations as teachers and practitioners declare that three-fourths of the annual recruits to their ranks are quacks and counterfeits, humanity Is appalled at the chance it Is taking. One can look witli complacency upon the annual grist of shyster lawyers that the law schools turn out, for the law Is something that can be avoided, as long as one keeps within the pale of it. Sickness and accidents are inevitable and they come without warning, and the nearest doctor at hand is the one that Is called in to serve. The one that Is nearest at the psychological moment is the ono that gets the case. He who wants a lawyer has time to deliberate, but he who wants u doctor must act quickly or his friends have to act quickly for him. All doctors look alike to the man in distress and to the friends who aro alarmed over his condition. One is helpless in tho hands of a doctor, but in tho hands of a lawyer he can do a little thinking himself. It is not given to the man who is prone on his back to determine whether the solemn visaged person who stands over him is dellcient in primary education or not. It is no time to conduct an examination to determine how it was that that person managed to become a doctor. The friend or relative that ran out to get him did not go beyond the gilt sign hanging in front of the drug store on the corner. The teachers and practitioners of medicine have declared that threefourths of their number are unworthy of confidence, are unfit to practice medicine, even though they all may be duly certified by "recognized" colleges. Tho only means tho patient lias to judge between the 23 per cent who "belong" and the 73 per cent who do not belong" is in the size of the bill. IF the Dearborn Park stockade were put on skids and moved to Hammond It might be worked over into a shelter for persons "who have no faith in the future of the Calumet Region," and are now compelled to walk the streets o' nights or sleep under high sidewalks. ANT) just to think! Five weeks ago the children were wading in the park lagoons, the blooms on the lilac bushes were as big and s green as Brussels sprouts, tho tulips were a foot over tho ground and men were going about the streets in shirt sleeves. SPEAKING about tho pouring out of contraband beer into the sewers under the blind pig law, the brewing companies always collect their bills and save their bottles. HAMMOND will "mark another epoch" In the laying of the corner stone of the new Masonic temple tomorrow. ? THERE seems to be an area of low barometer on yonder side of the railway tracks.

THE weather man adds insult to in

jury by coming out with the statement that the temperature averaged but four degrees fahrenheit below normal for the month of April. FADS AND FANCIES IN THE EAST. Though the temperature iecords prove this April to have been the coldest in many years, fashion has not suffered but seems, on the Contrary, to rejoice that the transition lias not sudilently been from enveloping firs to transparent frills. The thill days have brought forth a stunning display of cloths on the Avenue; the young Ft t are like picture girls, in modish little tailored suits which Impart the most bewitching swagger to these big doll babies, while the extremely short skirts and pony coats give tho matrons a look of youth absurdly masquerading In gray tresses. One has a perpetual desire to call to them: "You can't fool me; you are only your daughter's twin sister in disguise." And the prevailing colors are so redolent ft spring, gray, dark gray-blue, gray-silver gray and just gray. Gray witli dark irregular plaids and hair stripes are tho preference. Then the blues in many tones and forgettable names' but the counters are piled high with blues adapted to all complexions. The frocks are made on mostly the same model. Ankle skirts with two or three very wide tucks. In plaids the cloth is most frequently cut in bias folds and laid on, one above the hern and the other near the kneo line. It gives a smart effect especially when the coat has similar bias bands running over each shoulder, down the front and back, and bias cuffs and collar. Tho woman who insists upon trailing cloths for the street seems to advertise that her feet will not be compressed into the fascinating pumps or that her ankles are tremendous! The hats are unusually chic. At any and all seasons one may notice preposterous, bizarro creations, but tho prevalent style today is flat, with a straight turned down brim much on the Corday model but fully two inches wider behind than in front. Bundles of spring flowers bank the sides, or one long plume extends Hat over the crown from front to back. But on each and everyone, a band of the same tone ribbon or black velvet straps across the back brim, tying underneath in a smart bow, which replaces tho time worn tulle and is much more serviceable. This ribbon strap gives just a suggestion of the English garden hat. JANE. "CHIMES OF NORMANDY." Character of the Opera. This beautiful opera will be given at Towle's opera houso Wednesday and Thursday evening this week. George Herbert's production of the Chimes of Normandy at Towle's on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, will bo one of the biggest things from a social as well as & dramatic standpoint that has been done in Hammond for a long time. Great preparations are being mado for it and the proceeds will bo used in defraying a part of the expensing of staging Barnie Young's opera. Tho cast of characters will be as follows: SEKPOLETTE, the good-for-nothing Miss Anna Rubin Soprano GERMAINE, the lost marchioness, Miss Emma Champaign, Mezzo Soprano GERTRUDE, G.

Carr Bass VILLAGERS, Attendants of the Marquis Synopsis of Chimes of Normandy. Henri, Marquis of Normandy, who has been since childhood, owing to civil war, an exile, returns to his ancestral borne on the occasion of the great annual fair which is being celebrated in the village that receives its name from his chateau. It is one of the oldfashioned Norman villages of tho seventeenth century. In the first act, the curtain rises on an assemblage of village gossips, discussing scandal and small talk. Serpolette, a cross between Fanchon and Boulotte, is the topic of conversation among the belles of Normandy. She comes in just in time to turn the tables on the others, and changes their taunts into expressions of rage. Gaspard, an old miser, wishes to marry his niece, Germaine, to the principal magistrate of the district, the Bailli. This arrangement does not suit Germaine, nor i young fisherman named Jean Grenlcheux, who pretends that he has saved her life from drowning on a certain occasion. To escape from the power of old Gaspard, Germaine takes advantage of the privileges of the fair (a similar scene to that in the first act of "Martha"), and becomes the cervant of the Marquis. Her example is followed by Grenicheux and Serpolette. The second act is taken up with the supernatural visitors who have made the Castle of Normandy so long an object of dread. Henri determines to find out the real character of these ghostlyappearances, and discovers that it is all tho work of the old miser, who has concealed his treasures in the chateau. The discovery drives Gaspard crazy, esI pecially when he hears the bells of the I chateau ringing for the first time since the flight of the old Marquis. The third act represents the grand fete given in honor of the return of Henri to his ancestral home. Serpolette arrives as a Marchioness, as some papers, found in the chateau, indicate that she is the lost heiress. The miser, however, recovers his reason, and shows that Germaine is the true Marchioness. A love duet between her and Henri, and the reconciliation of all the parties, bring the romantic story to a close. Seats are now on sale at Bicknell's Drug store. Adv.-2t. Try an ad fa THE TIMES.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, April CO. The stock market assumed a rathed mixed appearance this morning. Union Pacific continued the chief feature, but it did not dis play the inherent strength which was i so conspicuous yesterday. On the contrary, some inside interests were inclined to take profits, basing their operations upon tho publicity given to the new holding company. These inside interests argued there would be considerable investment buying on the announcement of the plan and that it would be an opportune time to take profits. St. Taul furnished the other strong feature among the higher priced railway shares. It scored an advance of almost two points in the early hours of trading, but later lost a portion of the advance. Soaking rain3 throughout the winter wheat belt gave the bulls renewed courage, especially upon the grain carrying roads. Atchison, New York Central. Missouri Pacific, St. Paul, Northwestern, Rock Island and in fact the entire roster showed slight gains over yesterday's closing prices. The market, however, had all the appearances of a professional one, pure and simple. It is rumored in some very well Informed circles that the Standard Oil interests are favorable to an advance in the general market. The closo tonight is very irregular, advances in some quarters and declines in others. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descp. Atchison . . , Do pfd Am. Sugar., Am. Car ... Amal. Cop Am. Smelt Am.

Chicago, April 30. WHEAT Early prices had a weaker tendency. The selling was upon a large scale and was mostly for the account of Northwestern bears and disappointed bulls. Weather conditions throughout the winter wheat belt are reported much improved and damage to the crop by green bugs less alarming than last week. Nevertheless, Secrttary Coburn of Kansas today reported thirty-six counties Infested by the pest This caused a sharp rally in prices. The final close of the day shows a fair recovery in values.

Cash corn ket also showed promtnent bull conin the sample mara weaker tendency prices ruling one-quarter to one-half lower. Cash sales and fereign demand fairly brisk. In the last half of the session, the market regained a portion of the loss closing moderately strong. OATS Started off weak,, but an effort by the shorts to cover some of their outstanding contracts In the May option brought aboua a stampede. The May future sold at the highest price on the crop. The deferred futures, however, did not advance accordingly. Cash sales were large about 173,000 bushels. The market closed strong. PRODUCE MARKETS. Chicago, April 30.

Reports from principal cities indicate labor situation very satisfactory and no trouble expected anywhere. Bank statement encouraging as falling off in loans indicates transfers from trust companies and out of town institutions hare ceased. Crop conditions will be closely watched for a while, but unless reports of damage become much more serious no further adverse influence seems likely. Crop conditions are holding the stock market in check. A covering movement would follow better news in this respect. It should be remembered that a few weeks of good weather will repair most of the damage done to this time. We recommend that daily operators "sail close to shore" meantime, taking moderate returns after purchases of leaders on reactions like those of Friday and Saturday. Particular attention to be given to the upper and lower levels in employing stop order protection and expecting extension of movement when the limitations are apparently removed. The market is sold up on exisiting conditions and gradual, irregular improvement ought to take place, but as before stated, so much depends on the crops and bo much attention has been centered in this connection that the matter has for the time become the stock factor, perhaps exaggerated to somo extent. The money situation is slowly improving. Conservative action will have its reward both for daily and other operators. We look for a more active market this week with an advancing tendency, especially in the railroad stocks of the better class. Tomorrow's steel directors' meeting should develop a fairly favorable quarterly report, but the dividend action is not likely to be much of a market influence. Considerations growing out of Saturday's unexpectedly favorable bank statement should, however, be helpful, and better reports from the crop regions "would be all the additional news needed to bring about a good buying movement. Traders are still pessimistic, but as there is no great amount of liquidation overhanging the market at the present level, it would take very little to cause a quick turn about in trading sentiment. There is no evidence, as far as we are able to learn, of any change in the bullish attitude of the important inside interests and we believe mjtterially higher prices will be quoted for the leading issues within the next two weeks. We feel especially bullish on the Harriman and Hill stocks, St. Paul, Atchison, L. & N., Atlantic Coast Line, Reading. Delaware & Hudson and Northwestern.
