The Indianapolis Journal sayg; " The Indiana Medical society did a rather unusua! thing at its session on last Thuredny. It elected a woman to honorary membership. The lady so honored is Mis Kate Oorey, M. D., a gradúate of the University of Michigan, who for four yeara was principal surgeon in charge of a hospital at Poochow, China, and who has, as wa stated in the convention by Dr. E. S.

It was a splendid entertainment throughout, the "Romeo and Juliet " of Walter and Crane alone being worth 50 cents. Every young man in town of a musical tendency is now insisting in a high key that he is Romeo, or in a deep baas that be is Jnliet.

Haviland's management was all that could be desired.

While the eleotion was deserved, it is in no gense an endorsement of his views on the clinic question. Last year, the doctor was made a carjdidate, but withdrew very gracefully to permit the honor bemg conferred upon a much older man. By almost unanimous consent it has been granted for a year that Dr. Frothingham would be elected president th k time.

Guthrie, is now junior law i-tudeut in Ann Arbor, and has paid part of bis expenses hera by "sticking" type in The Rxgibter office on Saiurdays and for a short time on other days before his lectures. The eider Guthrie has been a most presistem "boomer" since his 6rst surveying trip, and he now has a fairly good claim on 160 acres, one-half of which lies wholly within the young town. The corner lots are rising fabulously in price and - well, Guthrie needn't survey any more. The Adelphi and Webster societies will have a contest, Saturday evening, President Angelí preaiding.
