AT the personal request of the President
made prior to leaving Washington for
long Branch, three of the attending sur
geons. Drs. Reyburn, Barnes and Wood
ward, were discharged from further SER
vice in the case. This action was not the
result of any dissatisfaction but simply
because fewer number of physicians
could manage and get along with the
case with as much ease and satisfaction
as with the larger attendance. 1t may
be well enough to state in this connec
ton that the best of feeling prevailed
among all the physicians, and that th'
retirement of the above named gentle
men will in no manner affect or mar thu
pleasant relations which has grown nj
between them all since their connection
with the case.

"Well, he has with that class, but no,

think he has an ambition to be President

He is a mere tigurehead, and is not even

A brave drummer Roy.

In the war with France. previous to
the Revolution, an English drummer
boy, not more than fifteen years of age,
having wandered from his camp to near
the enemy's lines, was seized and
brought before the French commander.
On being asked who he was by the Gen
eral, he answered:
"a drummer in the English service"
This not gaining credit, drum was
sent for, and he was desired to beat a
couple of marches, which he according
ly did. The Frenchman's suspicious be-
ing, however, not quite removed, he
desired the drummer to beat q retreat.
"a retreat, sirp' said the youthful
Briton. 81 don't know what that is"
This answer so pleased the French Off
Ger that he dismissed the drummer, and
wrote to his General commencing his
spirited behavior.

Marriage of John Brtxha's Daughter.
London Telegraph, Aus. Is.
For the third time since its erection in
1920, the little meeting house of the
Friends at Torquay was the scene yester-
day of a wedding, the contracting par
ties being Margaret Sophia, youngest
daughter of the Right Hon. John Bright,
and DR.. Cash, brother of Torquay ply
stefan. No little excitement prevailed,
and a strong body of police was required
to conIol the eager curiosity of the
crowd, who would have filed the build
ing ten times over.
The wedding took place at the ordin-
airy weekday devotional meeting, the
bride being escorted by her father, and
the bridegroom being accompanied by
his mother. The four bridesmaids were
Miss A. Bright, Miss K. Bright. Miss
Jessie Crossfield, and Miss Juliet Cross
field, who were all atti-ed in pale blue
silk, with mob caps, the bride wearing q
handsome white silk dress, with tulle
veil and wreath of orange blossoms
The bride and bridegroom having
seated themselves at the higher end OF
the building with their relations, the
clerk of the meeting requested that
silence might be obeyed, and Mrs. Fox
lady residing at Oak Hill, Torqua
offered prayer, after which the bride
groom stood up and repeated the follow
ing words: "Friends-In the fear of the
Lord and in the presence of this assembly
l take this my friend Margaret Sophia
Bright to be my wife, promising, through
Divine assistance, to be unto her loving
and faithful husband until it shall please
the Lord by death to separate u.s. the
bride making a corresponding declare
ton.
Mr. William Robinson, of Scarborough
then delivered brief address, and
after an interval of silence, Mrs. Tun
stall offered prayer. The clerk then pro
duced the marriage certificate, which
was signed by the bride and bridegroom
by Mr.. Bright, by Mr.. w. Fowler, M
P, and several other relatives ano
friends. A dejeuner at the Victori,
Hotel followed, and in the Afternoon
Mr.. Bright and large party drove tt
the environs of Dartmoor.

SPEAKING with reference to the ques-
ton of the inability of the President and
the best course 10 pursue in that event,
Judge Jerry Black, of Pennsylvania,
when asked his opinion said: Nothing
can be palmer than the constitutional
provision. 1t is for the President and
Mr.. Arthur to decide what is to be done
after taking the best advice obtainable.
They have not asked mine, and will not
volunteer any judg nent about it. The
presumption is that they will do what is
right. A little decent forbearance of the
outsiders would not be at all out of
place" Judge Blacks remarks are in
the correct vein. Already there has been
. great deal of unnecessary discussion of
this subject of the inability of the Presi
dent, mu ch of it, we must be permitted
TO remark, of the most senseless as well
as most useless character. The fact Is,
the Government is getting along first
rate, and the prospect is fair that il can
continue 70 do so for some time and
without difficulty, notwithstanding the
condition of the President. There is no
necessity, whatever, requiring that Vice
President Arthur should assume the
reins; more than that, it would not be
agreeable 70 the great majority of the
people for him 10 attempt such course
at this time. There may be time when
the Vice President may be called upon
to act, and when that period arrives the
proper course to pursue will present
itself Fortunately for the present, the
Iexigency requiring such proceeding
does not exist, business is progressing
satisfactorily and there is no absolute,
| important need of an active Somebody
being at the head of affairs.

rHR trial of Rev. DIR. Thomas, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, on the
charge of heresy, AMI row in progress al
Chicago, is attracting but lille attention,
and is without any particular interest.
The charges upon which the Doctor il
being tried have been revised, and are to
the following effect, in substance. That
he teaches, first, doctrines contrary to the
religion of Methodists, as set forth in the
authorized book of discipline. Second,
doctrines contrary to the established stan
dards of doctrine of the said church;
third, doctrines contrary to the estab-
lished doctrine and belief of the church.
The specifications declare that DIR. Thorn
as denies the inspiration and authenticity
of certain portions of the Old Testament,
in spite of the fifth article of religion as
set forth in the book of discipline, and
that he denies the doctrine of atonerhent
set forth in the second and twentieth ar
ticles of Methodism; that he denies the
existence of eternal punishment, and
teaches probation after death. OF course
ir is difficult to predict with any degree
of certainty the probable outcome of the
case, but of one thing we may be sure,
if he is convicted, the result will be, as
in the case of DIR. Swing, the establish
ment of an independent pulpit, free from
any entangling alliances, and where the
Doctor can give vent to his own peculiar
doctrines without fear of molestation.

THE trial of the two MsIey boys
and Blanche Douglass. charged with the
murder of Jennie Crsmer, recently, near
New Haven, Conn. hiss been commenced.
1t is to be hoped that the result will be
to fix the responsibility for the untimely
death of the unfortunate girl where ii
properly belongs. Whatever may be
said of the prisoners and Whatever may
be the conclusion of the trial now In
progress, there seems TO be no question
but that they know more of the case than
they of themselves are willing to relate.
That they may not have been guilty of
her murder is possible, but that they
know how her death was brought about
il almost certain.

he can not retain food the baby labors
under the same difficulty; when he feels

when he sinks the baby fails SO fast as to

that if the baby cries in the night, the
neighbors raise their windows and cry
"The President is worse.'
