A correspondent of the Mirror and
Farmer applies the .'hot water cure" to
hard milking COWS in this way: Before
milking. put two or three handfuls of water
upon each teat as hot as the hand will bear.
After giving the teats a thorough soaking,
wipe lightly with dry cloth or strip with
the hand until there is no danger of the
water dripping into the pail then milk at
once" By this means a lard mixer can be
MIXED in half the usual time.

The Bank Failure.

NEW YORK. MAY Captain ambrose
Snow. a director of the Marine bank, said
this afternoon; There was an informal
meeting of the directors of the bank to-
day in the private office of President Fish
to talk over the situation. At the request
of the board Fish was present, and made
a statement of the cause which induced
him to close the bank. Fish stated that
he had come to the conclusion that Fer
dinand Ward had deceived him and was
an unmitigated %scoundrel, and. finding his
~defalcation amounted to $3.50, 900, he de-
cided the best thing to do was TO close the
bank and save it from utter failure. He
also stated that he and other members of
his family owned three quarters of the
bank" Captain Snow said the directors
had always had the greatest confidence in
President Fish's honesty and integrity,
and they still held the same opinion.
They only regretted that Fish had not
| called a meeting of the board and sub
mitted the matter to them before he so
hastily decided to close the doors of the

WASHING. ~. May At 4 meeting
Of tn" Nati"ul Medical association held
here to-day DR.. j.. V. Shoemaker, of
Pennsylvania. chairman of the section on
practical medicine, read a report in which
he traced the history ofthe practice ofmed-
lclnc, matcria medica and physiology, with
extended reference to the bacillus theory.
He referred III severe terms to the ten
dency manifested on the part of special
lists to form cliqucs and exclude the rest of
the profession from their deliberations.
An attempt was thus made Ia form an ar
istOcracy in the most democratic of profess
siOns. These structures were received
with general applause. The effort of some
Humanitarian, to prevent vivisection,
which, as Prof Dalton. of New York,
said, would prohibit a professor from
showing his class the process of digestion
or even the circulation Of the blood in a
frog foot, evoked lively discussion and
called forth Il protesting resolution. DR..
Benjamin, of Maryland, followed with an
additional resolution urging upon all med
zeal colleges the necessity of elevating the
standard of education, at least so far as to
require II preliminary examination, a three
course, = register of attendance and
practical demonstrations of diagnostic
The resolution provoked considera-
ommcnt but was finally adopted.

Survivors of the Steamship
Florida Tell the Tale
Of a Most Calamitous Collision
in Mid-0cean.
A Terrible Loss.

QUEBEC, May In regard to the loss
of the steamer Florida the third officer,
James Allen, being interviewed, added
that the night on which the disaster
occurred was clear, though moonless, and
the sea was as smooth as glass. He
retired to his bunk at $ O'Clock leaving
Chief Officer Thompson in charge Of the
deck. About ll:lO o'clock he heard the
signal suddenly given to stop the steamers
engines followed by u fearful crash. He
rushedimmediately on deck and the first
thing he noticed was IL red light pretty
close ON their starbOard bow. At the
same moment he heard the chief officers
voice cry Collision, and perceived the
bark which had run into them go down.
This bark he afterwards learned from its
Captain and two of its crew who were
picked up and saved, was the Ponema, of
Chatham, n. b. Running to the side of
his own vessel he endeavored to ascertain
the damage done and p~erceiying an
immense gaping hole into which the sea
was fast pouring, and feeling, AS he said
himself, that the steamer was gone, he at
once hurried to the Captain who gave
orders to get out the boats. four of which
were down in fifteen minutes, when the
State of Florida had just keeled over to
port and went down stern foremost. As
far as he could calculate the disaster oc-
CURED about one hundred and twenty
miles off the Irish coast. As the vessel
went down, all on deck, including the
captain, were washed off by the sea. Al
len further stated that the captain was ex-
c~eedingly cool, too cool in fact. as he did
not seem to look upon the danger as Sc
rious or pressing and this, together with
the fact that he appeared in no hurry to
save himself. was possibly the cause why
more of the passengers were not saved.
Of the eight boats carried. four were safely
launched. two were mashed by the col
lision, and Of the other two he knew
nothing, but believed they were washed
way when the steamer went down. He
did not believe any one had escaped in
them. However, if they had he did net
want to raise any false hopes, his opinion
being hat they never would be heard from
again. When No. = boat was being low
cred the tackle was cut too quickly and its
occupants, all passengers, upset into the
sea. \ number chung to the boats bot
tom during the remainder of the night
and We're picked up in the morning by
the other boats, and on Sunday after
drifting thirty-siX nouns. we were picked
up. Allen declined giving his opinion of
the cause Of the accident. The number
lost is estimated at one hundred and
thirtN-tiNc.

Not as Bad as Expected.

NEW YORK, May Manager Campo.
of the Clearing house, states that there
are no new developments in the Marine
bank failure, but the situation is not
nearly 50 bad AS was at first supposed.
1t is now stated on excellent authority
that President Fish exhibited undue haste
in closing the doors of the bank. and that
the directors would not have consented to
his action had they been made aware of
the exact status of affair. The same is
said to be true of Grant 4 Ward. The
failure, which is claimed to be brought
about by Ward remaining away from
business and practically losing his head.

A CURIOUS
Joe brown and His Many Little Pecu-
liarltIes.

Taking it one time and another us
some treqently say, and there are more
curious and singular characters who find
their way to Cheyenne than almost any
other city in the world. Where they
come from or where they go to is some
thing no one knows, but they get here all
the same. One of these peculiar charac-
tiers who has been here for many weeks
past, skipped out of the city yesterday to
parts unknown. His name was Joe
Brown, and he was in some respects a
most in%corrigible wretch. Their was moth
ing particularly hard about him. He
didn't get very drunk. He would never
steal anything, but he would not work
unless he was forced to. Another thing
very peculiar about him was that
he had II great horror of being
locked up. He was afraid of walls and
Iron doors and Joe, AS everybody
called him, would plead and beg pretty
hard not to have them lock him up. But
he has several times been confined in the
calabOose for short terms, He was so
honest that after he wa once sentenced
he would make no attempt to escape, and
twice after he had been sentenced on such
occasions when no officer happened to be
around Judge Lee would make out the
commitment, give it to Joe and he would
go himself with the document in his
pocket and hunt up an officer to whom
he would hand it and then march off
to Jail with his head up, conscious
of having been faithful in one thing at
least. But they brought poor Joe up
yesterday before Judge Lee and the re-
suit was that he was sentenced to work
on the street. Then he weakened. With
tears in his eyes he asked permission to
go down the street a little ways to see if
he could get a little tobacco. Permission
was granted and he went-he is going
yet probably for he has not been seen or
heard of since. Joe will be missed and
the probabilities are that it will be- Il long
time before he appears in Cheyenne
again.

New YORK, May The Post says:
Notwithstanding the opinions to the
effect that the worst is over the stock
market is very feverish and weak to-day
as the effect of yesterday failures. There
can be no question that confidence has been
considerably unsettled. The market was
not. so active MS yesterday and apparently
no excitement. Aside from the effect Of
the failures of yesterday there are no
influences affecting the general market
unfayorably. As far as any information
can be obtained the situation in the
various railroad pools remains unsettled
and unsatisfactory with the further ON
plication that the opening of navigation
on Lake Superior will bringthe St. Paul &
Duluth road in as a competitor for the
