disease being. so to speak. only few

old specimen of the latter disease. Even
in the celebrated Dupuytren Museum of
Paris there is not single specimen OF
it. Yet so common is it to-day that. as
Sir James Paget tells US, a London ply
stefan has had no fewer than nine cases
under his care at one time. Hence the
conclusion to which we seem to be
driven is simply that these diseases are
in process of development, and that,
like the forms of animals and plants,
they have had beginning and an evo-
luton, which n the present case is of
very recent description.
A topic like that so lucidly opened up
by Sir James Paget carries its own
moral with il. The interest of the sub
ject does not. however, rest with the
medical profession alone. The botanist
and the zoologist, and the non-technical
mind as well, may enlarge their ideas
of the nature of disease, and may come
to recognize the wholesome fact that,
after all, diseases, like the subjects they
affiict. live under strict dispensation
of law and order. The closer we scan
the features of disease the more clearly

their ways and relations our ailments

the field''
The final move against Thomas was an i'm
portant one. He had held his position and
withstood the repeated and determined
efforts of the Confederates to dislodge or an
nihilate him during that entire day. Time
and again, when he was sorely pressed, he
sent for reinforcements but they did not
reach him. and for a long time after Long
street had broken through the center he was
in utter ignorance of the fate of the rest of
the army. A staff officer from one
of the demoralized corps joined
him after O hazardous ride, and first
told him of the disaster. Still he held his
ground and fought in the desperate hope
that some order might possibly be brought
out of the chaos and he get achievements

Notifications that could stand the onset of
troops in formation such as Hood led against
Rosecrans' lines that September Sunday"
General Longstreet was riding up the La
fayette road, discussing the various phases of
this battle as he rode along. He was going
toward the Snodgrass house, where Thomas
had his headquarters during the battle of
Sunday, when he refined up his horse near a
clump of trees by the road, and, pointing a
little distance off to an open space, said:
There is where Hood lost his leg. The
battle was almost over then, and he had
passed through the thickest of the fight I'M

movements against Thomas he was shot.

this battle could and would have carried any
position except strongly fortified one. The
action of his subordinates and the movement
of Wood in and out of the line may have
made the victory easier but Rosecran's line

assault l sent against it that day, no matter

A Priestiy villain Sent to State Prison.

BUFFALO, N Y, March 31.-The jury in
the case of Thomas Waldron, better known
as Brother Frank" president of the st. Jo-
seph's College, on trial the past week on the
charge of raping little girl six and half
years, after deliberation of twenty-four
hours, rendered a verdict of guilty in the
second count of the attempt of rape. The
prisoners counsel requested suspension of
the sentence until o'clock, which was
granted by the court At that time the
court and corridors were crowded, and the
prisoners counsel made an eloquent ples
in his behalf for mercy. Judge Haight, in
pronouncing sentence, intimated the jury
had been pretty merciful in the case, and
that the parents of other children had in
formed him of similar attempts by the pris
oner He, therefore, sentenced the prisoner
to the full extent of the law, five years in

THE WHEAT CROP.
Reports as to Its Condition in the WestA
and Northwest.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Specials this morning
from the principal points of the entire win
.ter-wheat growing section are not encourage
ing for an abundant harvest. 1t is claimed
the severe continuous cold weather has been
fatal to wheat not favored with considerable
snow. In large areas where the snow has
been light it has been'winter killed. In few
localities which might have escaped the win
ter, wheat is injured by the fly. In Ohio
the outlook is declared discouraging. Good
judges estimate the crop at 10 per censsr
last year. others think it not over so pei
cent. In Illinois the prospect varies accord
ing to the locality inspected; it is generally
damaged by frost; in some sections the in
jury is slight. The loss is variously esti-l
ma ted from 10 to 80 per cent. In Wiscon7
sin considerable of the crop is winter killed.
Favorable weather is necessary to insure tho
remainder. Missouri, Kansas and Iowa
make more favorable returns, especially
Missouri. Reports are now very encourag-
ing from the Pacific coast. The fairest esti-
mate in the total wheat belt is 70 per cent
of the average crop.

The field of Chickamauga is indeed sin
gular selection for battle-ground. Standing
to-day on the left at the Snodgrass house,
where Thomas had his headquarters L could
have seen good many of the important
points in it but for the heavy timber. You
have to ride the whole line to get any i'm
pressions of it. | therefore began at the left
and rode to the right, in company with and
directed by General Longstreet and Captain
T. P. Howell, who commanded battery in
the fight Nearly the whole field is heavily
tlmbered with oak and pine and the under
growth is so thick as to make it difficult to
get through on horseback. The ground is
broken, especially toward Missionary Ridge,
into numerous hills and valleys, all heavily
tImbered On such a field no human eye
could follow the line of battle any distance,
and such a thing as preserving regimental
formation could not have been attempted
with success.
Why it was ever selected by General who
was picking his place to fight decisive en-
gagement is still mystery. Braggs line Of

bank of the Chiclamauga on the 29th, look

gerous position if he had met with a reverse,
for the stream was just behind him. The
river here winds zirzag course toward the
north and east, but fortunately it played lit
tie or no part in the great tragedy that bears
its name. When General Bragg's troops
were in line of battle they were disposed as

was ordered to hold the left at all hazards.
and Rosecrans sent him word that he would
send all of McCook's and Crittenden's corps
to him if he needed them to hold his position,
II was the pivot that secured. the main road
to Chattanooga and, therefore, the vital
point of the field. To study this battle, then,
so as to get fair light upon it, one must begin
and end with the position that Thomas, the
cool, quiet unpretending yet great soldier,
occupied when he sat down at the Snodgrass
House and stubbornly held on to that hill,
even after nearly the rest of the army had
been driven from the field.

Yesterday was dismal day at the police
court. After disposing of e couple OF
swelled heads, hizzoner took up the cases
of P. G. Manson, John T. erode, j. L.
Winslow, Chas. Faher, F. Roha, saloon
keepers, who were charged with selling
bug juice on election day. In each of the
cases the officers testified to seeing bot
ties on the bar, with glasses
placed in convenient proximity The de-
PENDANTS all pleaded not guilty, but in
view of the testimony they were fined $25
each. The defendant, Mansen, demanded
new trial and his case was set for Satur-
day.
John Enright is dandy in his way, but
luckily for him it does not always break
even, SO to speak. The other night he be-
came crazy drunk, and drawing his re-
volver he chased couple of coiored men
down Third street. An officer yanked
him in, and yesterday he was fined $25.
The weapon was forfeited and he gave
bonds to keep the peace.
The case of j. Hanley and T. Koran.
charged with disorderly conduct, was con-
tinued until to-day.
Ole Anderson, night-watchman at the
Manitoba railroad shops, was up for steal
Ing tools. The hearing will take place to
morrow.
Adam Schuster was before the court on
the charge Of assault and battery, but as
the complainant had skipped to Chicago,
the hearing was continued.
