a 10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1903. II i IS Physical Decay Due to High Culture, SO SAYS DR. VAN DYKE Beauty and Babies'Sacrificed to Overtaxed Brains, LOVE SMOTHERED BY SCIENCE 3 State Medicnl Convention Hears Radical Opinions "Which Arouse the Anger of Learned Women Doctors. - Cause of Woman's Physical Decay as Seen by Dr. F. V. Van Dyke. "No girlls considered cultured un less she has. broken her health down trying to learn music Sanskrit root. 3rownlng and Emerson at some fash ionable female college. "Of all these products of higher ed ucation, about one-fourth marry and produce one and one-quarter children each. "Not one pupil In 500 can play Hiawatha correctly. "Confinement in school and- hard study take away desire from woman uid that physical beauty so attractive to men." The thirtieth annual meeting of the Oregon State Medical Society began yes terday morning at 10 o'clock when Pres ident Henry W. Coe called the society to order In the Elks' Hall in the Marquam building and delivered the annual address. He was followed by Mayor 'Williams, who -welcomed the physicians to the city and spoke warmly of the great advances made by medical science in the past few years. After the reading of the report of the chairman of the board of council. Dr. Calvin S. White, of Gervais, the society turned Its attention to some notable pa pers prepared by members of the profes sion. Jn the evening the doctors were taken the round of the hospitals In a special car1 and attended some demon strations at the Medical College. Today they will resume consideration of special papers and theses and tonight they will banquet at the Hotel Portland. "No girl is considered cultured unless she has broken her health down trying to learri music, Sanskrit root. Browning and Emerson at some fashionable female sollege," said Dr. F. W. VanDyke. of Grant's Pass. Some of the women in the audience turned to their programmes and read again the title of the second paper offered for the consideration of the Medical So ciety. They learned that Dp. Van Dyke was to speak on "The Higher Education a Cause of the Physical Decay of Wo men." "Of all these products of the higher ed ucation," continued the doctor, oblivious of the look on the faces of the feminine portion of his hearers, "of all these products of the higher education, or cul ture call it . what you will about one fourth marry and produce oneand one quarter children each, showing how merci less nature is in her effort to eliminate the unworthy." Dr. Coe settled himself down in his chair a little more and a very percep tible rustle ran through the hall. Dr. Van Dyke's voice was soberly determined and the words rang out pugnaciously. The Average Woman Ignored. "At a time when tfiey should be in the open air playing, or at least studying within their limits, girls of a tender age," the doctor went on calmly, "are forced to the utmost effort they are capable of, for unfortunately the curricula of all schools, colleges and -universities are no longer constituted to fit the average pupil, but the talented." One of the women doctors leaned over and whispered to a sister M. D. A mascu line in the back of the room smiled gently. "It hits 'em to be called ai'erage," he chuckled. But Dr. Van Dyke's eyes were Intent on his paper and he said: "There is no difference between a smart man and a smart woman." The women looked relieved. After pointing a moral of statistics of would-be musicians, the gray-haired doc tor looked up and said gently, almost with resignation, "Not one pupil out of 500 can play 'Hiawatha' correctly." A moment later he remarked with equal placidity: "Every physician knows that the cramming process In the vast majority of cases, when applied to medi-. ocrity is the cause of hysteria, neuras thenia, dyspepsia and astigmatism." Then with a warmth Increasing every minute, the disciple of Galen hurled huge sesquip edalian words across tire hall, mingled with other words of homely meaning; he dilated on the bodily imperfections result ant from over ardent pursuit of knowl edge; he hurled anathemas on the meager breasted, the ugly, the chilly-hearted and denounced the modern priestess of the muses as an anomaly not to be got rid of any too quickly. "Confinement in school and hard study takes away desire from woman and that physical beauty so attractive to men," he proclaimed. "Imag ine, If yau can, a novelist writing in this eln: The "Cultured" Heroine-. " 'She was pale, thin and plain-looking with- a peevish temper caused by ill health, but Armand loved her devotedly, passionately, though lacking youth and beauty and being of a cold nature, for great was her .knowledge of theosophy, the lore of the ancients, and differential andintegrai calculus.' "Why, even Marie Corelli wouldn't think of a man falling in love with such' a hero ine," pleaded the doctor heatedly. The ladles looked at him critically and murmured audibly their disagreement with the whole thing. "Whether Dr. Van Dyke desired to soothe their feelings or whether ho was naturally fairminded, he took a long breath and explained his position with modifications: "It is not to be assumed from this paper that the, sole "Wect of a woman's life "is to marry and raise children,,, nor should she be brought up In Ignorance. A woman with talent or genius should --have It developed" to the fullest extent, but the constant effort being made to make ordinary ability keep pace with well-defined talent is predes tined to failure. , Dr. Van Dyke then apostrophized Ve nus, and threw In a few side compli ments to other goddesses of good looks. He denounced the' modem methods of marriage as calculated to increase a race already "degenerate enough 'and said that the only martial happiness was that due to the union of two healthy people. After another dig at blue stockings he ended: "Penelope, the faithful -wife,- Cornelia the proud mother whose children were her jewels, Thusnelda, the ideal of the ancient Germans, and St. Elizabeth, the personification of Christian faith and charity, knew nothing of soul yearnings, telepathy, psychology and other useless things, but they possessed those womanly qualities which have sent their names down the ages and will continue to do so until the name of the last graduate of "Wellesley, Vassar and Bryn Mawr shall have faded from1 the recollection of men forever." Dr. Cnrdvrell to the Rescue. Dr. Mae Cardwell sniffed. It was a per fectly wellbred, unexceptionable sniff, but even Dr. Van Dyke recognized its quality. Dr. Coe got up hesitatingly and mentioned that the laws allowed a discus sion which would be opened by Dr. Nich olas Molitor, of La Grande. But aside from a few feeble chirrups, the men had little to say. There was a large sprinkling of women in the audi ence and they were some of them ex tremely pretty and every one of them looked daggers at Dr. Tan Dyke. Then Dr. Mae Cardwell got up and intimated that she considered Dr." Van Dyke a heathen. She stated plainly that he was preaching a doctrine of mere physical passion and that women had souls and minds, and a woman was more attractive to a man, that is to some men, men with minds and souls, than a woman without education could ever be and that she did not think men with any sense picked but their wives by their figures and that so far the well-developed kitchenmaid had not usurped the throne in the matrimonial market place. She also said that Dr. Van Dyke's theory about a woman's mind be ing developed at the expense of her vital functions was nonsense and tommyrot and proved It by words" as big. and thunder ous as the doctor had used himself. Then the stenographer blushed and explained that she was only a beginner and the big words were not to be made with hooks and the naughty ones wouldn't look nice in longhand and Dr. Coe got up and stated that, in view of the near approach of the luncheon hour and the limited time7 and so forth and so forth Palters on Other Subjects. Previous to this Dr. Joseph W. Court ney read an excellent paper on "Osteo myelitis." In the afternoon Dr. Joseph Sternberg addressed the society on "Tech nique in General Anaesthesia," which was followed by a full discussion. Dr. Frank lin Cauthorn and Dr. Edward A. Pierce followed with a discussion of climatology and pulmonary diseases. Then the X-ray symposium brought forth papers by Dr. Richard Nunn, Dr". George E. Houck, of Roseburg, and Dr. George F. Wilson. The therapeutics of cancer was taken up by Dr. R. C. Coffey and that of the skin and glands by Dr. L. H. Hamilton. Today "Nervous and Mental Diseases" will be taken up and a kidney symposium in which addresses will be delivered and papers read by many eminent physicians and surgeons. After this routine business will be transacted and then the sessions will end with a grand banquet at the Hotel Portland. The following were present at yester day's meeting: Doctors Who Are Present.

All North-western States United in Effort to' Capture Missionary Convention for 1005. Dr. J. F. Ghormley, pastor of the First Christian Church of Portland, left last night for, Detroit to attend the general missionary convention of his church, at the head of the Oregon delegation, and to endeavor to capture the convention of 1905 for Portland. The other delegates from Oregon are Dean E. C. Sanderson, of Eugene, and Rev. Albyn Esson, of Portland. Dr. Ghormley carries invita tions for the convention of 1905 from Gov- pernor Chamberlain, Mayor Williams, the unamoer oi commerce, mc jjuuu m Trade, the Manufacturers' Association and the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission. All the churches of the denomination in the Rev. Dr. J. F. Ghormley, -who -ivill try to secure the- nation al convention of the Chris tian Chnrch for Portland in 1005. Northwest have issued standing Invita tions t6 the general convention, through th'eir state conventions, to come to Port land'and Rev. Morton L. Rose, of the First Christian Church of Tacoma, will head the Washington delegation in this effort. The convention at Detroit will continue from October 16 to 22, and will consist of not less than 10,000 clerical and lay dele gates. Only two other religious organi zations in the United States hold larger conventions the Christian Endeavorers and the Epworth League. The convention will represent 1,500,000. members In the "United States and Canada. The Oregon delegates will represent 100 churches; with 10,000 members. Only one other church has inade greater progress in the United States during the last decade. It is expected that if the 1305 convention comes to Portland It will consist of from 3000 to 5000 accredited delegates besides thousands of camp followers, and will last seven days. The appreciation of the im portance of this convention Is shown by the Invitations extended to it by the various organizations. Portland has hot rivals for the session of 1905 in San Fran cisco and Lob Angeles, the convention of 1904 having been already fixed for St, Louis. At Detroit both home and foreign mis sions and evangelistic work will be repre sented. The reports of the secretaries of the various departments will be received, officers elected and plans laid for future work. The church maintains missions in Africa, India, China, Japan, Turkey, the Philippines, Porto Rico, Cuba and other points, and has home missions in all parts of the United States and Canada. It Is just sending the first Christian mission ary ever sent to the "Hermit Kingdbm", of Thibet. A woman has "been chosen for this--work. Miss Susie Relgnhart, for merly of Tacoma. HYDRAULIC MINES AT NOME Heavy Investments Will Produce Vast Output of Gold. E. M. Cedarbergh, who has been super intending the operation of a mine near Nome for the past three years for a com pany of New York capitalists, has "come out" for the Winter and will stay here unless he has to make a trip to New York. He reports the Nome mining district as making rapid strides, owing to the ex tensive systems of ditches being dug there for hydraulic mining. He says some 5S00.O0O has already been expended on such ditches, by means of which vast tracts of low-grade gold-bearing ground are to be worked, yielding $K to $2 a yard. This ground, he says, will produce more gold than all the rich creeks In that region together and the prospects are tremend ous. Hydraulic mining, however, Is no poor man's proposition, as great outlay Is required for ditches at the start, but in California hydraulic mines pay in earth which yields only 2 cente a yard, and In Nome ground yielding 51 a yard gives a net profit of 60 to 70 cents. The Inauguration of successful hydraulic mining, Mr. Cedarbergh says. Insures the permanency of mining in the Nome Dis trict, and will result In the production of vast amounts of gold. NEW TROUBLE FOR PULASKI Spirit-Doctor's Banner Is Again Dragged In the Mud. Count P. A Pulaski, that Polish physi cian of high degree, Is in trouble on an other charge besides that or robbing a pa tient of 540. It seems that he did not ob tain a license to practice his mystic arts upon suffering mortals. So License Col lector McEachern got on his trail, and the spirits will have to come to the aid of their disciple this time, for he has gone up against an official of the City of Port land. The charge of larceny from the per son preferred by C. Conkrlght was not in vestigated yesterday in the Municipal Court, but with the new charge will re ceive attention today. Pulaski, who advertises himself as a magnetic healer and general wonder worker by the help of spirits, was ar rested Monday because a patient, C. Conk right, declared that the spirit-doctor had stolen 540 from his clothing while admin istering the treatment. Mushrooms Appear Again. The late rain was favorable for starting the Fall crop of mushrooms, and many lovers of these delicacies have been get ting out early for the past day or two, to search In fields and pastures In the out skirts of town for them. Few have found enough to pay them for their trouble, and report that there has not been rain enough yet, and that the ground is as hard as a rock. Others scour the markets early in the morning hoping to find mush rooms. There are several spedes of them which are edible and wholesome, to say nothing of poisonous ones, but none are so highly esteemed as the old-fashioned meadow mushroom with pink gills. A large box of fine mushrooms of the whlte gllled species was displayed In frqnt of a market yesterday and attracted the at tention of a housekeeper buying supplies. She fingered them gingerly and asked a clerk if they were good. "Oh, yes, Indeed!" was the reply. "They are genuine' cultir vated mushrooms grown on ploughed land." She next inquired the price,-- and on being told 50 cents a pound, sighed, but kept looking longingly at them, and finally asked: "Are they poisonous?" It looked as If she thought she could get them cheaper If they were poisonous, but she finally bought two pounds. HONOR THEIR PRESIDENT Columbia, University Celebrates His Patron's Day. "Yesterday was a day of celebration by the faculty and students at Co lumbia, University, it being the feast of St. Michael, the patron of the president. Rev. M. A. Quinlan. The services of the day began with a congratulatory address delivered to the president by E. J. Frldell in behalf of the students. The president replied with a brief speech, in which he referred feelingly to the generous welcome accorded him and spoke earnestly on the sympathetic relation which, he malnT talned, should exist between the faculty and the students. At 9 A. M. the 'president celebrated high mass, at which His Grace Archbishop Christie, Rev. J. C. Hughes, the faculty and students attended., and at which an eloquent sermon was delivered by Rev. JT. McDevItt. v A banauet was served at 1 P. M. to the students and guests and the afternoon was spent In games and various amusements. In the evening an Informal reception was .given in the Christie room and a large number of lmited guests and the Rt. Rev. Bishop J. ,C. O'Reilly, of Baker City, were In attondance. The reverend president, In his address, dwelt with em phasis upon thej necessities and advan tages of a college education In the present age of enlightened contention and compe tition and the high Ideals which young men should constantly keep before them If they would attain lasting success In their worldly careers. Among the many" entertaining speeches of the evening was that of Roger B. Sin nott, of Notre Dame University. B. L. '92, who spoke as the representative of the classmates of the reverend president and recalled a number of pleasing inci dents of their collegiate days. Other addresses-were made by Rev. T. J. Carroll and Professor W. P. Burns. The rest of the evening was spent in rendering mu sical selections, vocal and instrumental, by friends and guests of the institution. IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD Altar Dedicated at "Seamen's Insti tute on Its Fourth Anniversary. In memory of the eight persons who lost their lives, on the British ship -Rnvlefidnle. which was wrecked In the early part of the present year after being In Portland for many weeKs, an auar was dedicated last evening at the fourth an niversary of the Seamen's Institute, Front and Flanders streets. These were .airs. Helen Phyllis Kerry, the wife of the cap tain; Alleen Kerry, his daughter; W. Ser geant, W. J. Dacre, Alfred George, H. HIgganbathom, H. p. Perrln and R. S. Dore. Short speeches were made by Mayor Williams, Bishop Morris, British Consul Laldlaw, Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church; Rev. C. Cumming Bruce, chaplain of the Insti tute, and A. E. Bernays, superintendent of the Seamen's Institute of Tacoma, W. Hastings, the treasurer of the local institute, told of Its excellent financial 'condition. Sailors from the ships in the harbor crowded the hill and took part in the exercises. Captain Porter, of the British ship Red Rock, made -a short talk. Rev. John E. H. Simpson, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, took part in the religious services. ONE TRIAL IS ENOUGH. T. A. Wood. Waives Preliminary Hearing in Pension Fraud Case. With the remark that he "didn't want to be tried twice,'r Grand Commander Thomas A. Wood, of the Indian War Vet erans and pension agent extraordinary to that organization, waived preliminary h'earintr before United States Commis sioner Sladen. yesterday morning, on charge of securing fraudulent pension af fidavits. He gave bonds to the amount of $1000 through a guaranty bond company and will appear before the Federal grand jury next month for a hearing. In the event that a true bill Is found against him, he will be tried In the United States District Court. The charges which Colonel Wood Is fac ing were preferred by Special Examiner W. A. Pless, of the Pension $ureaut ana it Is said there is a very strong case against him. Meanwhile an order has been issued by the Commissioner of Pen sions forbidding him to proceed in prose cutlng the cases on which the complaint is based. The arrest was made on September 22 by Deputy United States Marshal Proeb- stel. ' MORE HOLIDAYS COMING. Pupils at Highland School Dismissed Because Building Was Unheated. Nearly 500 children were thrown out of school yesterday, when It became neces sary to close the Highland school. It was found when school was openea yesieraay morning that the heating apparatus has not yet been placed in good working or der. When school was called the stu dents took their seats in a temperature which felt very much like that of a first class refrigerator. For a time there was no complaint, but the teachers soon agreed that It would not be wise to continue school under such conditions. City Su perintendent RIgler was communicated with and he gave the formal order for dismissal. The contractors Bay that at least a week will be necessary to get the building's heating apparatus In good work ing order. Accordingly there will be no school at Highland until next Monday morning. This unlooked for delay will have the effect of putting the pupils of the school two weeks bemna, as me scnooi was week late In getting opened, and hard work on their part will be required to catch up. NEW POSTOFFICE READY. Tomorrow the Task of Moving the Big Institution Will Begin. Hartman, Thompson & Powers, who have been nreparing their building at the cor ner of Sixth and Ankeny streets for tem porary occupancy by the postofllce, an nounced yesterday that the new quarters would be ready tomorrow morning as specified in their contact. A force of from 50 to 60 men has been employed night and day since the building was vacated by the Pacific uoast .Biscuit Company on September 21, and over 100.000 feet of new lumber has been used in tne work of remodeling. The completion of the work Inside of ten days is considered remarkable feat, and probably breaks all records for building operations in Port land. The task of removing the postotfice, which begins tomorrow, is a big one, and will probably require ten days to com plete. Worlc for Letter-Sorters. The addition to the force . of letter- carriers In Portland, wnica will be ef fective October 1, has the effect of chang ing tne district oi every earner on ine Vvi.st Side with two exceptions. These changes will cause considerable extra work on the part of the distributors In the Postofflce, as well as on the part of the 40-odd railway postal clerks, whose du ties require them to sort Portland letters according to carriers' routes before ar rival here. If -it's a "Garland" that'sall you need to Know aoout a btove or Kange. f he knows the man a!of Identifies, Leslie as His Father's Murderer. . S POSITIVE OF HIS GUILT Brought Face to Face" With Men Ac cused of Robbing Him, He Is Sure of One, but Not of Griggs Di rect Charge Today. By his looks and A'olce E. C. Leslie has been Identified by Nathan Calof as one of the men who fatally shot his aged father, Max Calof, June 22. Calof also believes that Leo Griggs was the second robber who shot his father after at tempting to rob young Calof himself. Of Griggs young Calof Is not so posi tive as he Is of Leslie. For the first time since the men were arrested, Leslie last Thursday and Griggs in Wasco on Friday, the son of - the murdered man gazed upon their, faces. After having told the detectives at . the time of the crime that he believed Leslie and Griggs, who went by the name of "Doughnuts," were the guilty men, Calof has had to wait until yesterday to look them In the face. The Identification of Calof was about all the evidence the detectives wished before filing charges of murder against the young men, and this formality will prob ably be performed today In the State Cir cuit Court. Accompanied by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan, Calof paid a visit to the cell of Leslie yesterday about noon. One lonx and searching look told the young fruit- seller that before him stdod one of the men who shot his father. Because the old man rushed Into the family barn at First and Hall streets, In response to the cries of his son as the robbers were trying to secure the money earned by the day's work on the street corners, two shots had been fired by the thugs. He had not doubted from the first that Jerry Haly and "Doughnuts," the names by which he knew the men, were the guilty ones, but after four months he was at last before one of whose con nection with the crime he felt positive. "That Is one of the men, I am sure," said young Calof as he turned away from the cell. Behind . the bars Leslie had answered his searching gaze, questioning in his heart what the verdict would be when the lone look was over. "I can recognize him by his looks and voice," said Calof afterward. "I was sure he was one of the men. They shot at me and then at my father and I would know them again." "Leslie says he doesn't know me or where our barn and house are situated, but before themurder he went there one day to borrow our horse and wagon. I loaned him 50 cents a few days before the shooting and he saw that I had a good deal of money at that time." After the visit to Leslie's cell on the upper flodr, the detectives and the son ofj the murdered man went to Griggs' quar ters In a cell opening off the Chief's ante room on the ground floor. The same searching look was, repeated. WThen Calof left this cell, he told the detectives that he could not be positive Griggs was one of the robbers, but that he felt almost sure of it. Griggs admitted that We knew young Calof. . Both Griggs and Leslie are trying to frame a case of innopence of the charges which will be laid against them. The great obstacle which they have en countered Is that they both left Port land together on the night of the shoot ing of Max Calof, who died two days after. Leslie went to Troutdale, while Griggs continued further eastward, and, after making a circuitous trip in the middle part of the state, went to work in Wasco, where he was arrested last week on the description sent out by the Portland police. This appears more than a coincidence, and is one of the strong est pieces of evidence which the detec tives say can be brought against the pair. It is rumored around the police station that Griggs confessed to one of the de tectives who has questioned him that he knew of a plan to rob a man living next door to the Calofs. The detectives pre tend not to know about this statement, which, If true, will have a bearing upon the case. Mrs. Calof, the wife of the murdered man, will be askedto see the suspects. She saw them as they, rushed from the barn after firing two shots Into the body of her aged husband. One or two neigh bors also caught a glimpse of the running men. The strongest Identification Is that of young Nathan Calof secured yesterday. Though both robbers wore handkerchief masks, he had a good look at them as they; entered the barn and cried to him to hold up his hands. Thomas Duffy, the First-street butcher, who lives a few houses away from the Calof residence, called at the police sta tion last evening and identified Leslie as one of the men whom he saw running away from the barn after the shots were Did you erer notice the difference between country milk and city milk?

Residents In the neighborhood of East Couch street between East Twenty seventh and East Twenty-eighth, have for some time been importuning' the School Board to build a schoolhouse there. It was flnaHy determined to look into the matter and the building committee were a few weeks ago directed to ascertain what a suitable site in that vicinity could be pro cured for. They submitted their report at the last meeting of the board, and the prices asked for sites rather astonished the members. They asked for prices on the three blocks between East Twenty seventh and East Twenty-eighth and be tween East Ankeny and East Couch streets. For the blocks between East Ankeny and East Burnslde, and for that between East Burnside aljd East Couch $S000 a piece was asked, and for that be tween East Couch and East Davis the price was $7000. These blocks are 300x200 feet, but the board thought the price ex orbitant.

Armour's Extract of Beef Thts 'Best Extract of the Best eef s AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY. So Thinlcs at Least One Traveling Man. I would as soon think of starting out without my mileage books and grip as to start out on a trip without a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets In my valise, said a traveling man who represents a St. Louis hardware house. Why? Be cause I have to put up at all kinds of ho tels and boarding-houses. I have to eat good, bad and Indifferent food at all hours of the day and night., and I don't believe any man's stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest: anyway I know mine won't. It have to have somethinsr to break the fall, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the crutch I fall back on. My friends often "Josh" me about It. tell me I'm an easy mark for patent med icine fakers, that advertised medicines are humbugs, etc., but I notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion, while I can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for my work when it needs me, and I believe I owe my good digestion and sound health to the dally, regular use of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, year in and sear out, and all the "joshing" In the world will never convince me to the contrary. I used to have" heartburn about three times a day and a headache about three or four times a week, and after standing for this for four or five years I began to look around for a crutch, and found it when my doctor told me the best invest ment I could make would be a fifty-cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I have invested about fifty cents a month for tnem ever since, and when I stop to think that that is what I spend every day for cigars, I feel like shaking hands with myself, for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first-class order for fifty cents a month. I don't care for any bet ter life Insurance. My druggist tells me they arc the most popular of all stomach medicines, and that they have maintained their popular ity and success because they do as ad vertised. They bring results, and results are what count in patent medicine as much as In selling barbwire. able price they would erect a small build ing thereon, which would answer for a while and could be added to when neces sary. They did not feel justified in pay ing the price asked for either of the blocks offered and so the matter was laid aside till such time as a site can be obtained at a reasonable price. Perlfaps some of tha large property-owners In that section, who are anxious to have a school established there will be able to furnish a site, the location and price of which may suit the board and thus secure the erection of a building soon.
