NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Dr. Tanner has
had all his teeth drawn. DR.. Gum SAYS
he will STAY here until his dentist pro-
vides new set, then he will visit his
father in Litchfeld, Ohio, and return
to this city and begin his lectures. 1t
will be remembered that the FIRST com
plant he uttered after the termination of
the fast was that his jaws were sore
Well. the enormous eating he did, and
constant use of his jaws after their lang
disuse, made his gums sore.
While he was fasting the gums shrank
from the teeth, ard when he began to
use his juws the motion loosened the
gums and at :he same time loosened his
teeth; hence the teeth pulling and a new
set of teeth. The doctor accepted one
of the invitations he had TO d inc on Con-
ey Island, and after sitting down at Paul
Barer's and eating a luncheon of clam
chowder and bIuefish and drinking a
bottle of Bass ale, he went over the fish,
tongue, bread and potatoes, and drank
another bottle of ale. His weight is up
to 155 pounds. When he began to fast
it was 1879.

New YORK, Sept. 25.-In reply to
Theodore Cooke, of Cincinnati, asking
for az authoritative declaration with res
ference to rebel claims, Gen. Hancock
writes:
GOVERNORS IsLEND, N. Y. Sept. 80.
To Theodore Cooke, Esq-DEAR SIR
Your letter of Goth IS received. Iregret
that you are disturbed about that bug
bear southern war claims" People
cannot be mislead by it to suppose that
rebel claims" or claims in the interest of
persons who were in the rebellion C, in
any way or in any degree ba countenanc>
ed. The imputation of disloyalty such
as used to be made against Democrats
even when they were in arms defending
the country, so far as it touches me, de
nouncc The government Can never pay
debt or grant pension or reward of
any sort for waging war against its own
existence; nor could be induced to ap
prove or encourage payment OF such
debt, pension or reward. Nobody ex-
poets or wants such unnatural action.
To propose it would insult the intelli-
gence and honor at our people. When
rebellion was crushed so was the heresy
of secession forever. 1t is thing of the
dead past. We move forward not back
ward. If we're President would veto
all legislation which might come before
me providing for consideration or pay
ment of claims of any Kind for losses or
damages by persons who were in rebel
lion, whether pardoned or not In rela-
ton to Union war claims, the govern
lnent's obligations to its defenders come
first. They are lasting and sacred. The
public laws of civilized nations do not
in general recognize claims tor injuries to
property resulting fr"m operations of
war. Nevertheless our government has
treated with great indulgence claims for
losses and damages suffered by Union
men from the military operations of the
war of the Nation; out as hostilities Iaye
closed more than fifteen years ago, claims
OF that nature, now mostly in the hands
of brokers or persons other than the orig
inal sufferers. are becoming stale and, in
my judgement, might fairly be considered
as barred by lapse of time, and if here
after entertained at all, should be subject
ed to the strictest scrutiny. Yours very
truly, W. S. HAScoAK.

zation over to the religious sect of Spirit

The excitement grew very demonstrat>
i've, and he was forthwith expelled by an
almost unanimous vote. In private c0n~
varsatlon he afterwards said he was fully
cognizapt of the infamous and abOmina-
Bile things practiced by those who seemed
to be in the majority in the Leagues. He
was glad to get out of it. The remain
ing hours of the session we're spent in
deaouncing the expelled member and
Ingersoll's religion, and in advertising
their various books. The whole session
81 far has been noisy, garrulous, blasphe-
nous and erratic.
