SATURDAY MORNING.

new Ork, AT 4 CLOCK Dr.
Tanner had Ct of vomiting. He got up
and dressed at 7.3O. He was much ex-
hausted and laid down on his cot; he
remained thus until 1O.15. when he went
into the lower hall. After walk he
laid down and was covered with a
blanket.
AT 1880 the doctor arose and walked
into The front room of the ball where
there was fine spread IF watermelons,
fruits, bread, etc.
At IL the doctor stood at the window
on Thirteenth street, looking cut upon
the crowd.
Just before noon the temperature of the
doctor was SO; pulse 92; respiration IT,
On leaving the hall the doctor walked
unassisted down the stairs with slice of
melon in his hand and he received an ovs-
ton from the crowd in the streets, shops
and windows and exhibited much graft
fication at the hearty reception. He
ordered the cover of the carriage thrown
back and joked with the crowd that
surrounded the vehicle. After two or
three dozen persons had grasped his
hand his accompanying physician
grasped him by the arm and held bin in
his seat to prevent him from firing him
self cut. On reaching the residence of
DR.. Gum, Tanner lay down in the front
parlor and endeavored to sleep. Milk
and watermelon has not disagreed with
him.
at high noon, when the time was up
and the task finished, the crowd chcered
Tanner enthusiastically. About 1000
persons were in the hail and an immense
number Of people on the sidewalk. The
doctor drank glass of milk and called
for Georgia wster melon. This he
tapped, dug his hand into il and ate
heartily. When demonstrated With, he
asked to be left alone, saying, ''No, my
Lerd, am runniI this how.n When
he placed the glass Of milk to his mouth
be remarked, Gentlemen, you don't
believe that's good. The signal for the
expiration of the fast was the whistle
blew Tanner had peach in his hand, but
before he could put it into his mouth
somebody snatched it awsy. In re-
spouse 20 plaudits of the sssemblage,
Tanner, who was sitting up in chair
plsced on the table, waved handker-
chief over his head.
AT I2.l5 Tanner got down from the
table and lefs the hall in q coach in
charge of DR.. Gum, who has taken him
to his own residence, where he will re-
ceive careful medical treatment.
DR.. Tanner weighed at the end of bis
fast 12l1z pounds, having lost &c pounds
in the forty days.
Tribune; Tanner is locking forward
with esger anticipation to the banquet of
peaches and California grapes and milk
The interest taken by the London
press in the fast is very marked. The
Standard and Daily Ne1Us have had
special dispatches every day for three
weeks and some Of these have been of
unusual length. Copious extracts from
New York journals are made by nearly
all the papers, and great mass of cor
respondence has been Published on the
subject.
The medical profession question the
genuineness OF the fast and are generally
disposed to doubt its value to science.
Even if genuine, Dr.. Brown said, il a
careful and frequent analysis has been
made and yet net in the air exhausted
and inhaled by Tanner and of his per-
SEPARATION, the scientific results Of the ex-
pertinent are absolutely valueless.
DR.. Thomas Lander Brunton, editor OF
the Practitioner, said: If Tanner has
succeeded. under proper conditions the
experiment would have been of scientific
interest; it is interesting to know whether
changes are not going on 10 our organiza-
ton so as to better adept them to the
works of life than was formerly the case
The Chinaman is hated in America, be-
cause for given quantity OF food he will
turn out great deal of work, so that he
is able TO live on wsges wherein al Irish
man would starve, and that is what rem
| ders the Chinaman such dangerous
rival. By and by, when the struggle for
existence is as keen sll over the world as
it is in most crowded populations, prob
ably the cheapest maehine, the one
which can do the greatest amount OF
work en- least food, will WIN the day.
