INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CONGRESS
Honors to Portland Surgeon.

The International Medical Congress has
closed and was, by all accounts in the English
papers, an immense success. Ameng other
matters we are glad to notice the honors paid
to DIR. William Warren Greene of this city,
the distinguished physician and surgeon.
On Tuesday, Aug I'd, was held the general
reception. The various delegations assembled
in the library room of the College of Physi-
clans and Surgeons for mutual introduction
1t was delightful occasion, for then there
met together for the first time not only old
colleagues in all the countries represented, but
the brightest lights known to the medical
world. The next day was held tina general
meeting at st. James Hall. After the address
OF welcome by Sir William Jenner (whose
name revive recollections of vaccination) the
programme of organization was read by Gen.
eral Secretary DIR. McCormac His ROYAL
Highness, the Prince of Wales, next came on
the platform and delivered a smply-worded
but most cordial speech of welcome of ten
minutes duration. President Sir James Paget
received a decided ovation.
On Tuesday evening private dinner party
was given by Prof. Erickson, to which were
invited Sir Henry Thorn pson, Prof Donders
OF Berlin, Prof. Boyn of st. Petersburg and
others, twelve in number. Among the twelve
Dr. William w. Greene, on the part of Amer
lea, was especially honored by an invitation.
frof. Blgelow, OF Boston, was to have been
there also but illness compelled him to decline.
Alter the dinner, On invitation of Prof. Erick-
son, call was made on Professor Sir James
Paget, who received his guests most cordially
and invited them to alunch party the next day
TO meet the Prince of Wales. At the dinner the
Prince. learning that DR.. Greene was resi-
dent OF Portland, directed a great deal of his
conversation to him, saying. among things,
that he bore in mind very pleasant memories
OF his youthful visit to the Forest City and
was loud in his praises of the harbor.
Later Sir Henry Thompson gave dinner,
10 which twelve were invited, am oDg whom
we ind the name of DIR. Greene, who had
Prof. Bottimi, of Milan, on his right and Prof.
Verchon, OF Berlin, on his left At this din
ner all the meat, vegetables, fruit, milk, but
ter and cheese were supplied by Sir Henry's
farm fifteen miles away.
DIR. Greene's name was also included in the
select number of 200, invited to the grand
banquet given by the Lord Mayor, and also to
Baroness Burdett Coutts garden party.
DIR. Greene's date of sailing for home is Civ
en- as the Sd OF September, but as we hear that
he will probably stop over at the National Sur
gical Societys Congress in New York, to be
held September 10Th, it will be the goth before
his arrival in Portland.

eventh Day Advent Campmeet1ng at
Waterville.
The meeting opened Thursday with lovely
weather and under very favorable circum-
stances. D. W. Canright, a leading minister
in this denomination, arrived yesterday from
Michigan. He expresses himself pleased with
the appearance of the grove, especially the
speakers stand, which is beautifully trimmed
1t is covered with white cloth, which is draped
in front to form an arch, on which is printed in
brilliant letters the text, "Blessed are they
that do His commandments" and "oan ye not
discern the signs of the times. Upon the desk
is large rustic vase with flowers and grass
arranged upon it, which is much admired
Thirty-two tents are now on the ground and
more will be erected. AT 1890 a. m. Elder
Canright preached, taking his text from John
3:16-"For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten son." In these words
Christ the highest authority. tells the Fathers
feeling toward us, one of intense love, which
the whole Bible breaths forth. He yearns to
help, not harm; loves us because He made
man in His own image. sOur weakness ap-
peals powerfully to Him. Christ by coming to
earth and suffering here, and by His return to
the heavenly mansions as mediator has joined
humanity to divinity. For the Sons sake
mortal prayer is heard and answer
ed But although GOD is loving and the
author of love, He cannot make
heart to love Him. That must be our gift,
which He trys in every way to gain, giving
His son, asking to be called by the tender
name of Father. Believe when you have come
to God honestly and earnestly that He does
hlep, love, pardon and pity now, and so go ON
from grace to grace, from strength to strength.
In the afternoon Elder Canright preached
again at 2 p m. from I'd Peter, s. 8 and 9.
Peters argument is that the Lord will come
again, still the time before His coming will be
so longss that many will think God has for
gotten His word. But God does not count
time as men do. What seems of long duration
to us is nothing in His sight for His years
have no end. His promises never fail, al
though long delayed. The promise to Eve
"Thy seed shall bruise the serpent's head";
those to Abraham, the one concerning the Civ
ing of the promised land to the children of
Israel, and many others are striking illustra-
lions of this fact, viz, God never forgets but
waits in love and mercy. So Christ's coming
is seen and even now draws near.
Elder Butler from Iowa is expected this
evening. Elders Goodrich and Webber and
other Maine preachers are on the ground

DUPED.
A Massachusetts, Farmer Deceived by a
Maine Girl.

Inc married troubles of one of the town
ofncials OF Foxboro, Massachusetts, is the alb
sorplng topic of discussion in that town. Dur
ing the latter part of last February the father
OF Albert j. Daniels secured comedy young
woman as domestic on the farm where dwelt
Aipert, who is member of the board of as
SCISSORS and highly respected citizen. The
farm is fully three miles from the centre of the
town. Albert had reached nearly the merid-
ian OF life without possessing wife. Shortly
aiter the arrival of the new domestic servant,
VINO called herself Ann Jane Bicknell, Albert
became enamored of her and proposed mar
rage. She informed him that she had been
married, but her husband was dead, the issus
being one child, which was s i'll alive. That ex-
PLANTATION was sufficient for Albert, and the
twain were married by Rev. NJ. B. Angler, Of
the Orthodox church, May 22d, aud they con-
tlnued to reside at the farm. The marriage GER
tlhcate represents that this was the second mar
rage OF Ann Jane Bickuell. Three days after
marriage the wife informed her husband that
she had been twice previously married, but
that she had been divorced from her second
husband while resident of HampdeD, in the
vicinity of Bangor, Me. Mr.. Daniels refused
to live with her until he was satisfied by docu-
mentary evidence that she had been legally di-
Vorced: She promised to write to her brother,
and did write, for certified copies of the petit
ton granting the divorce, but months elapsed
before any tidiAgs from her brother were re-
celved, and the wife declared that the brother
was absent from town. In the meantime AL
bert wrote to the Clerk of Courts at Bangor,
who, in reply stated that Mrs. Daniels was
known there as Mary Bicknell, that her hus
band had filed petition for divorce from her
upon the plea of desertion, and that the case
would be heard this fall. The town clerk also
wrote that Mr.. Bicknell had "posted" his
wife In the local newspapers. A letter was
also received by Albert from his brother,
which caused him to go to Boston and learn
further details. When the wife was informed
that she had not been divorced from Bicknell,
and that her marriage with Daniels was conse-
quently illegal, she said that her lawyer had
told her that by mutual agreement divorce
had been obtained and she had every reason to
so believe. 1t is but justice to state that she
probably thought so. A separation took place
between Daniels and her few days ago, and
under escort of town constable she has re-
turned to Maine with her child. Mr.. Daniels
feels his position keenly and has the sincere
sympathy of all who know of the unfortunate
affair
