GLADSTONE'S PHYSICIAN.
Death of a Doctor Who Achieved
Great Success.
I)r. Robson Rouse, who was at one
time the most fashionable consulting
physiclun in Loudon, 1•:nglanel, deed
recently. Royal princes, halt the ar-
istocracy, bishops, judges and Cab-
inet 'Ministers Were among those who
sought his advice. It was. however,
as 31r•. Oladstoie's physician that
Dr. itoosc, then in his thirties, leap-
ed into almost world-wide fame.
His history is art interesting chap-
ter in the romance of medicine. Tho
son of an ancient but impoverished
fancily, he was left at the ago of 15,
with a mother and younger brother
and sister entirely dependent upon
his exertions. He educated himself,
won his own way through his exam-
inations, working et literary pur-
suits by night in order to pay for
his medical studies by day, and be-
fore he was 21 he was a full-fledged
parish doctor's assistant at Brigh-
ton.
Ar. noose was the pioneer in many
new systems of treatment, and in-
deed to Gar end his theories found
a larger following in Germany, where
his writings are regarded as stand-
ard )nodical works, than in his own
country.
Itis diagnosis of alt cases brought
to hint was marvellously correct,
and unlike the great majority of
fashionable physicians he was ale aye
ready to give it 111 writing.
Even at the height of his fame,
when the most distiaguishld men in
tho literary, political and religious
world crowded the %carting rooms of
the young consultant, he never gave
preference to any patient on ac-
count of rank or position. Dukes
had to wait their turn with artisans.
And when he was the most sought
after doctor in town fully 50 per
cent. of his patients were treated
free of charge.
His dinner parties at Hill street,
Berkeley Square, were among the so-
cial features of I.on:lon.

LONDON'S LORD MAYORS
THE FOUNDLING WHO BECAME
CHIEF MAGISTRATE.
Remarkable Careers Which Lead
to the Mansion
House.
"1 never• thought, forty yearn ago.
when I ctuue to London a pour lad
from the banks of the 'J'w„d, that
1 should arrive at so great a dis-
tinction," were the frank and noble
words u fth which Sir John Pirie,
1 Lord Mayor of London, opened his
speech at a Guildhall dinner sixty -
t wo y ecus ago. and they are ty pical
of the hats' of many another man
who has made the journey from a
cottage to the Mansion House.
When Sir Chapman Marshall, who
was Chief Magistrate of the City
three years earlier, was a guest as
sheriff at a public dinner to the sup
porters of the Metropolitan Charity
Schools, ho began his uddress in this
strain of admirable candor: "My
Lord Mayor and ❑entlemen,-I want
words to express the emotion of my
heart. Yoe see before you a humble
individual who has been educated at
a parochial school. I came to Lon-
don in 1803, without a shilling,
without a friend. I have not had tho
benefit of a"clamsical education; but
this I will say. my Lord Mayor and
gentlemen, that you witness in the
what may bo done by the earne.:t
application of
HONEST INDUSTRY,
and I trust that my example may
induct others to aspire, by the same
means, to the distinguished situatlon
which I now have the honor to till."
On another occasion the self -depre-
ciation of a Lord Mayor was a cause
of embarrassment to a very distin-
guished guest. When Sir Peter
Laurie, during his mayoral year, en-
tertained the judges, he had at his
right hand Lord Chancellor Tenter -
den, whose father, as the world
knows, had been a humble hairdress-
er. "You sco before you," Sir l'eter
exclaimed to his astonished guests,
"the Chief Magistrate of this great
Empire and the Chief Justice of
England sitting at my right hand.
both now in the highest offices of
the State, and both sprung from the
very dregs of the people."
'There has never been a time since
London had a mayor to boast of
when this high office has not been
filled more than once its a generation
by men who have climbed to it from
very low rungs on the social ladder.
As far back as Henry 1"s time, Sir
William de Sevenoke, who was maylj
in 1418, had begun life as a found}
ing, had been
EDUCATED BY CHARITY,
and started his career as errand -boy
for a small grocer. Sir Thomas
White. who played such a loyal and
gallant part at the time of Wyatt's
Rebellion, had for father a poor
clothier, and was himself apprenticed
to a tailor at the age of twelve.
And yet he lived to amass great
wealth, to found St. John's College,
Oxford, and 'Tonbridge School, and
to be the first 'man in the world's
capital.
in the fifteenth century a poor
Yorkshire lad left his father's cot-
tage in Wharfedale and travelled to
distant London in a carrier's cart
to seek fame and fortune. As Sir
William Craven he was the Lord
Mayor of 1111 1 ; and his son, grand-
son of the Yorkshire farm laborer.

Sir Snntnel Fludyer's first intro-

ed to marry tho niece of a powerful

In comparison with these figures
the biggest salaries paid in the

Insignificant. It is generally under-

managers receive as much as 850.000

One of the most satisfactory kinds

fact is that the latter sump was once

a sensation, required a manager at
the outset, and looking round the
world for a good ono decided that
Herr Bailin, the .managing director of
