Inasmuch ms the disease known
as diphtheria is believed to be in

suggested by learned men:
Take equal parts of the best
sweet oil and honey; give a child
a teaspoonful every two hours. 1t
is said Group can be cured in one
minute with alum and sugar. A
teaspoonful Of alum and twice the
quantity of sugar, given as soon
as possible relief instantaneous

DR.. K. N. Chapman, of Brooklyn,

less than one 10 fifty. Statistics
show that the percentage of re-
coveries In cases treated under the
usual practice is about thirteen,
or eighty-seven ont Of a hundred
sufferers succumb to the fell dis

this country in 1858. DR.. Chap

An Explanation.

SIR:-In the issue OF the Pion-
eer, dated November 10th, appear
ed an article concerning the life
saving station on Thunder Bay
Island and the marine disasters on
North Point, on the 9Th of Novem-
Der. This article | had not seen
until to-day. 1t purports to con.
tain a conversation had with Capt.
Neville, of the schooner Charles
Hinckley, as to the accident that
befel her, but in the statement of
facts, the writer of that article has
stated that which Is not so, and
which Capt. Neville never said was
true, that is, that he foundered
within sight of the life saving sta
ton and received no relief from it.
Also that there is being made great
complaint against the life saving
station, and that the crew of the
Hinckley were rescued by McKen-
zie's boat. Now the facts that the
public should know that they may
not unjustly cast blame where it is
not deserved, are these: have
at the station eight men besides
myself, constituting one crew for
the life boat. had hired the Nc
Kenzie boat for use at the station,
and the services rendered by the
Mckenzie boat was the assistance
of the station. On the morning Of
the 9Th, my wife and two men went
to Alpena for provisions, in the
Mckenzie boat, and had got back
as far as Campbell's fishery that
night, but the storm was so severe
that they could not reach the sta
ton. In the morning they dis
cerned the schooner Empire State
and went to her aid. On the night
of the 9Th, kept double watch
and was up myself all night. In
the morning, before breakfast, ]
discovered the Sunnysides and EN-
pire State, and at once started with
the boat and all of the crew / had
to their relief. The Hinckley could
not be seen from the station as
Sugar island is between the station
and the place where the Hinckley
was stranded, which was about 600
yards from the shore, and there
was little or no sea running. After
| had gone some distance on my
course toward the Sunnysides, l
discovered on my starbird bow, the
u;-ablay and ron "a close IN the
wind as / could towards her, but
could not make her nearer than
100 yards, and hailed her. The
captain replied, 1--WE are all right
and comfortable" / then went to
Trodden's fishery and obtained there
three men and went to the Sunny
sides. After about two hours hard
rowing, we reached her and took
her crew. At that time l discovered
my Mckenzie boat had rescued the
crew of the Empire State. Both
boats then went to Alpena with the
crews. That night Capt. Neville
and crew cut their own boat from
off the davits and went to Trod-
den's fishery, and from thence to
Alpena. The article misrepresents
the station and the worthy men
that worked hard that day, for
while the station did not render the
Hinckley any assistance, it was be-
cause there were others whose
fates and conditions were worse
than the crew of the Hinckley and
who needed help more. There
have been seven wrecks relieved
by the station this season and not
one life has been lost. The men
have worked faithfully, and have
done everything that could be done,
and anything that is intended to
attach blame to the station, is I'M
just in my opinion.

affairs in Louisiana at this time, unaccompanied by
such guarantees have been referred to, might in
terfere seriously with the ultimate success Of the
entire policy.
The decision of the President and his Cabinet to
send commission to Louisiana is not, as many OF
the Republicans suppose, triumph for the Packard
administration OF course it pospones for the pres
ent any disturbance of the present condition OF
things in Orleans, either by the Nichols gov
eminent or by the United States authorities but in
the mean time Packard will not be al
lowed TO gain any advantage except such as
would naturally arise from delay, while the
Nichols Government will probably continue to ex-
ercise all the functions of government now per-
formed by it. The purpose of the Administration is
not to give either party advantage but to inform
itself on the whole question thoroughly before TAX
ing any steps looking to permanent solution of the
problem in that State and to discover the best solu-
ton possible.
The following dispatch was sent to Gov. Nichols
this afternoon, signed by Repres entatives Gibson,
Levy, and Ellis of the Louisiana delegation:
We just from interview with the President He
says the Cabinet has decided to-day unanimously to
send commission TO Louisiana and that this decision is
irrevOcabe He declined TO hear any argument from us
against the commission He that its composition will
be satisfactory to people and that it will be shortly
announced, but is not yet distinctvey made up. He
AS ii is appointed we will in
form you of its members said TO him that this
mission will be disappointing and unsatisfactory to our
people. We protested against it, have always per
sstently done.
