’S FIGHT
IN MEDICINE
Felicitations at Celebration Held
in New York
OPPOSITION FROM MEN
AND A FINAL VICTORY
Women are Now Firmly Established
In the Study and Practice of This
Important Profession.
New York, Jan. 21.—Women eminent in
the professions, especially medicine and
education, attended the celebration at the
Waldorf-Astoria of the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the New York Infirmary for
Women and Children. Dr. Emily Black-
well, the founder of the institution and
one of the first women to practice medi-
cine, was the recipient of warm congratu-
lations. She delivered an address upon
her work and early struggles.
Other speakers were Miss M. Carey
Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr college;
Dr. William H. Welch, of John Hopkins
university, and Dr. Annie S. Daniel.
Miss Thomas spoke upon woman’s quali-
fications for the practice of medicine and
their opportunities for entering the pro-
fession. She said:
“The 50 years that have elapsed since
the foundation of the New York Infirmary
for women and children have firmly es-
tablished women in the study and prac-
tice of medicine. It must be a profound
gratification to you, Mrs. Backwell, when
you remember your sister’s and your own
lonely student days in Geneva and Cleve-
land, she the first women to receive a
medical degree in the United States or in
modern Europe and you one of the first;
she and you the first women to be re-
ceived as the private pupils of eminent
physicians abroad, and also the first
women to obtain through their own in-
fluence any medical training whatsoever
in the great hospitals of London and
Paris.
= “It must be a profound gratification
to be able to look back at the end of a
long and happy life spent in the prac-
tice of your profession and in the teach-
ing of medicine to women, and to real-
ize that today in every country of the
civilized world women are studying medi-
cine side by side with man in co-edupa-
tional schools, and that in India and
Egypt, China and Japan, Italy, Spain and
.Greece, Russia, France and Germany, and
above all, in England and in the United
States, hundreds of women physicians are
practicing their profession and reaping
an abundant return from their beneficient
activities in the gratitude and dollars of
thousands of devoted patients.
“Channels of the least resistance for
women have been the professions of
teaching and nursing. Both require for
success patience, sympathy and service,
qualities which women’s lives have
tended to develop. As a consequence,
men have steadily retired before women
until they are now outnumbered more
than two to one in elementary and sec-
ondary teaching.- In training schools for
nurses in the United States only 1307 men
were studying in 1901, as against 11,599
women, and there were men in only 79
out of the total number of 448 training
schols for nurses.
“Medicine, on the contrary, though
closely allied to nursing and requiring
for success many of these same qualities
that women as a sex seem pre-eminently
■to possess, is one of the most lucrative
of all professions and one into -which the
influx of men has been phenomenally
great during the past 50 years. Men as a
sex, although there have been notable ex-
ceptions, have disputed every step of the
way with women, using as weapons ridi-
cule, intimidation and all the vested privi-
leges at their command. Both here and in
England they have manifested the fiercest
and most ungenerous jealousy that wo-
men have ever been called on to meet.
“Such, however, is women’s aptitud.e
and liking for medicine and so great is
the desire on the part of other women
for their medical service for themselves
and their children that, although this
bitter opposition to women physicians has
undoubtedly somewhat limited their num-
bers, it has not been able to stop the
practice of medicine by many women.
It has, however, denied them the best
scientific opportunities, and, most un-
fortunately for the public, has made it
impossible for most women physicians
who could not afford to go abroad for
clinical opportunities to attain high rank
in their profession.
“Ten years ago the Johns Hopkins uni-
versity opened its co-educational medical
school, which afforded women the inesti-
mable privilege of studying under some
of the eminent physicians of the world.
But until 10 years ago women w’ere ex-
cluded from the great medical schools
of the cast of the United States. Even
Dr. Blackwell and her sister were forced
reluctantly and against their bettef judg-
ment to open a separate school for wo-
men in connection with the New York In-
firmary, One after one these separate in-
stitutions have closed their doors as medi-
cal schools for men have admitted women,
a.
until there are left in the United States
only five women’s medical colleges. Ex-
cluding these women are now studying
medicine in 81 of the remaining 149 medi-
ical schols, and would be admitted on
demand to many more in which they are
not registered as students.
“It is only a question of time when all
medical schools will admit women. Ex-
perience in the great co-educational med-
ical schools of Paris, open to women
since 1868; in Baltimore and elsewhere has
proved that there is no objection to the
presence of women students serioua
enough to outweigh in the mind of any
fair-minded person the vast gain to the
community.
“In the nine^Ay hospitals of New York
out of 135 interheships women may hold
but one by right, and in the private hos-
pitals, many of them founded and largely-
supported by women, out of 117 interne-
ships women may hold only two. In the
10 New York state insane hospitals ad-
mitting both men and women, and as
many women as men, out of 132 residents
and internes only 11 positions are reserved
for women.
“In Boston the hardship is even greater
than in New York, because the New Eng-
land Hospital for Women and Children, a
women’s institution, is the only hospital
in which women may practice. In Balti-
more two intesnesMips in the hospital of
the Women’s .Medical college are open to
graduates of thesMny Women’s college,
but there,e--oSC; icourse, the munificently
equipped hoh’pithl associated with the
Johns Hopkins;’ Medical school awards
interneships as prizes to both men and
women.
“In Philadelphia on the other hand,
two general city hospitals permit in-
terneships for jfsjfcfe competition to men
and women; and, apart from two women’s
hospitals attached to the Women’s Medi-
ical college, five other hospitals and dis-
pensaries reserve their interneships for
women only. 'L'hese clinical opportunities
have made Philadelphia the greatest cen-
ter in the United States for women’s med-
ical study.
“In Great Britain, on the contrary,
much greater justice is shown. Twenty
hospitals in London, 10 in Glasgow, nine
in Manchester, seven in Edinburgh and
five in Dublin are open to women.
“The condition of affairs in America is
all the more difficult to explairi, because
where women patients are there should
women students and women physicians
be, and where men patients are women
students and women physicians are no
more to be obpected to than women
nurses; and if we must choose between
disagreeable alternatives, it is, after all,
far less objectionable from every point of
view, except from that of tradition and
prejudice, for men and women together
to study and treat diseased men in hos-
pitals and clinics than as now in most
hospitals for men to study and treat di-
seased women.”
A CONVERSATION WITH A CLIMAX.
When a Professional Man Talks, It’s
to the Point.
Several famous American physicians and
surgeons were recently dining together
after a session of a national meeting held
in New York .
“I had a remarkable case this winter,”
remarked a surgeon present, whose name
as a specialist in rectal diseases is world
wide. “My patient was a woman, a deli-
cate, nerve racked creature, who had
suffered so fearfully from the ravages of
hemorrhoids, that the knife seemed the
only solution of the trouble, and yet her
heart was weak and her strength so
wasted by this fearful disease, that we
dared not operate.
“I had ceased my visits to her for a
time and hah given up all hope, when
one morningi-she>?4ntered my office look-
ing like a’ n&w Winan the pallor had dis-
appeared land tfi^7 lines of suffering were
nearly eradicated from her face. She
told me she:fifiadi9)3ought at a drug store
for fifty Eefits? ^proprietory medicine in
suppository7' fbffix- called Pyramid Pile
Cure, and had obtained instant relief
from the^fiifet insertion. I made an ex-
amination1 ^hd f&tmd the rectum in ex-
cellent cftriffition7c the inflammation en-
tirely disappeared and the swollen veins
in normai’ddndition. .
“I was ^o.iii’tqi’fjsted in the case that 1
had the remedy ^nalyzed carefully and
was so pledsea with the result of the
analysis, finding a combination of the
most healing’and scientific remedies pres-
ent in the Pyramid Pile Cure and in a
more convenient form than I could secure
them otherwise, that I wrote to the
Pyramid Drug Company at Marshall,
Mich., askings.for their booklet on Piles,
their Nature, Cause ,and Cure, (which by
the way is sent free.) and have since used
Their' Pile Chi-e extensively and with best
resu-ils in':n4y''fr'’4'bti:ce.' I do not hesfita'tq. .

RAILWAY RUMBLINGS
Kansas City Packers Will Reach
Here Tomorrow Evening.
THE CHILD’S RATE IS CUT
Santa Fe Announces Battleship Rates
to Galveston—Dickinson Picnic
Grounds—Personals.
The Kansas City fruit and vegetable
packers, who are now making their an-
nual tour through Texas, are now on
the line of the Santa Fe. They left Tem-
ple this morning on a special train and
will make a number of stops on the way,
reaching Galveston tomorrow evening.
According to the itinerary, as published
in The Tribune of yesterday afternoon,
the packers were not expected here until
Saturday, but they are just exactly a day
ahead of their schedule and will arrive
24 hours earlier. J. Schofield Hershey,
assistant general freight agent of the
Santa Fe, left last night to join the
visitors and will accompany them to Gal-
veston.
RESULTS OF COMMISSION MEETING.
Telegraphic information was received
here this morning from Austin to the ef-
fect that the railroad commission had
granted the application of the Travelers’
Protective association of Texas for a re-
duction of the excess baggage rate from
15 per cent of the ticket rate to 12 per
cent of the ticket rate. The commission
also agreed to reduce the children’s pas-
senger rate from 2 cents per mile to 1%
cents per mile between points in Texas.
The official circular of the commission
announcing the change in the child’s rate
has not been received and there is some
discussion as to certain features of the
matter of arriving at the rate. For in-
stance, if the rate for an adult to a cer-
tain point is $2.05, wrhat should be the
correct rate to charge for a child, the
fare being half of the amount named. In
Kansas, according to the rules which
govern the operation of railroads, the rate
would be $1.0, while in Colorado it would
be $1.05. It is believed that the Texas
commission will take the latter view.
BATTLESHIP RATES.
The general passenger department of
the Santa Fe has issued circulars an-
nouncing excursion rates to Galveston on
account of the visit of the German war-
ship Gazelle to this port. Tickets will be
on sale for train No. 5 and connections
of Jan. 26 and No. 17 and connections of
Jan. 27, with Jan. 28 as the date of final
return. The excursions will be run from
as far north as Belton, the rate from
that point being $l£.5O; from Alta Loma
at a rate of 35 cents.
DICKINSON PICNIC GROUNDS.
W. F. McClure, general freight and
passenger agent of the Galveston, Hous-
ton and Henderson railway, announces
that the “Old Reliable” is now ready to
book dates for the picnic season at Dick-
inson this summer; in fact, a number of
engagements have already been made.
Repairs have been made and considerable
improvements added to the grounds at
Dickinson and they are in splendid shape.
The Dickinson picnic grounds are about
half way between Galveston and Hous-
ton and are on Dickinson bayou." "The
spot is one of the prettiest locations in
Texas for picnics.
I. AND G. N. RATES.
The International and Great Northern
railroad has announced the application
of the merchants’ rate of one and one-
third fare for the round trip to New York
and return. That road has also made a
rate of one fare for the round trip to
New Orleans on account of Mardi Gras.
Tickets for the latter event will be on
sale Feb. 10 to 16, with Feb. 20 as the
final limit to return.
NEW MEN MOST CAREFUL.
“Have you ever observed that in ninety-
nine cases out of a hundred when there
is an accident that results in the death
of an employe of a railroad company, that
employe is an experienced and seasoned
railroad man?” asked a prominent rail-
road man bf Fort Worth to the Rec-
ord’s railroad reporter. “There is a
reason for this. You take a new man in
railroading, and he will carefully ob-
serve all the rules that have been pro-
mulgated for the regulation of the work.
These rues are formulated with the view
of compelling employes to always be on
the safe side in their actions. They are
framed to prevent accidents. Let a man,
however, work years at railroading, or
until fie has been thrown with danger so
long that he no longer dreads it, and
it is more often than otherwise the case
that he will positively disregard the rules
that have been made for his direct benefit.
Ij.have known men to run fearful risks,
and in some cases to pay the penalty
with their lives, because they failed to ,

more inconvenient for them to do than to
break. Even in proportion to the number
of men employed there is a much less per
cent of the men who have, not. had a
year’s experience injured and killed in
railroad mishaps than with men who have
become experienced. At first blush one
would think that inexperience would add
to the dangers of train work. Statistics
prove the reverse to be actually the case.
The new men are more careful, they more
fully observe the rules that are laid down
for their guidance, and they avoid dan-
gers that are apparent to them, but are

HELD PASSENGER’S BAGGAGE.
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 21.—Travelers in
the habit of patronizing' scalpers have
been furnished by the Great Northern with
a wholesome example of the risks in-
volved. When a passenger on a Great
Northern train presented a ticket bought
of a scalper on which the name of the
original buyer had’ been changed, the
conductor detected the fraud.
He obtained the number of the passen-
ger’s baggage check without indicating
his purpose, and thefi wired the agent at
destination not to deliver the trunk until
the owner had paid $25 for the fare which
he owed the company. The passenger
sued the road for the value of the trunk,
which he placed at $20, and also for costs.
The company set up its claim, and the
justice gave it a verdict for $25 and costs,
against which it holds the passenger’s
baggage pending appeal, if the man has
the temerity to air his fraudulent action
further.
