RABBI sTERN's SUICIDE.

The Rev. DR.. David Stern, who took lau-
danum at the Wyoming Valley Hotel
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Saturday, died atten min,
utes past nine o'clock Sunday morning from
the effects of the drug, without having re
gained consciousness orrousing in the slight
est degree from the stupor in which he was
when first discovered.
At the coroner's inquest several letters
found in the room of the deceased were read.
In one he says 1.-The only reason that
care to give to the world for my act is that
after struggle of ten years have become
convinced that injustice and seltshness rule
the world and that possess neither strength
nor inclination to continue the struggle any
| longer am weary"
From another the following extract is
taken; "I die because I do not care TO live,
and death is final relief from struggle
which l can no longer sustain. When |
ended my last sermon in Wilkesbarre said
to my enemies Forgive them, o God they
know not what they do. There arc only
two things that grieve me in leaving this
world-one is the thought that fools live on
and beget fools, while the man of brains
must die; the other is the knowledge that
my friends will be panied by the act; but |
am too weary to continue, and seek rest"
1t is now known beyond doubt what the
struggle 10 which the dead man refers
was. His liberal views on religion were
known, but while he was generally re-
garded as materialist he was in real
ity Christian, having latterly abjured the
faith of his fathers. 1t is also known that
within the past two months he had been in
communication with the Right Rev. Bishop
Stevens, of the Episcopal Church in Phla-
delphia, and had both by letter and verbally
assured him of his belief in the divinity of
Christ He finally, not more than five weeks
ago, made formal application for admission
to the Episcopal Church, and subscribed TO
concise and emphatic profession of faith,
in strict accordance with the orthodox be-
lief of that Church.
His wishes were about TO he granted
when be requested that his reception into
the Church be postponed on account of the
determined opposition of his father, noted
rabbi in Manchester, England, and other
relatives. In this severe struggle his mind
had been engaged between on the one hand
his earnest and overwhelming desire to en-
brace the religion Of his choice, and on the
other the opposition of his dearest friends
and the scorn and obloquy with which a
public remuneration of the faith of which he
had been so long teacher would be recelv'
ed by his race and sect. TO this struggle
he saw no end but the grave
His death has created profound impress
sion in Wilkesbarre, where his friends were
numerous. He was known to every one,
and his brilliant qualities and deep scholar
ship procured him the respect and admira.

Is IT CANCER ?-Some persist in saying
General Grant is not afflicted with cancer,
and is convalescing; but the following ex-
tract from an interview between one of his
physicians and reporter of the New York
Herald ought to dispel such illusions:
general Grant has epithelioma, or else
doctors have beeu working in the dark
eighteen centuries That is the only foun-
dation on which any other conclusion can
be arrived at. Seven physicians, eminent IN
their profession, two Of them leading ex-
perts in cancers, have diagnosed the case,
and there is not one of them who will not
risk his reputation that General Grant is
afflicted with epithelioma. If be RECEIVERS
it will be the first case of epithelioma ever
cured, and as such will go on record in the
medical world. There can be no mistake
in the diagnosis; the microscope makes no
errors Besides this, every one who has
made diagnosis has announced his conclu-
sion instantly and without hesitation. Pro-
fessor Satterthwaite, of the Post Graduate
College, spent two days in making micro
scopieal examinations of the cell nests, and
said there was not the slightest doubt as to
the disease. Then, again, the cuts that
were published in the Herald could be read
by physicians, and they could tell whether
thew indicated cancer or not. can state
positively that not one protest has yet been
received against the doctors conclusions.
1t may be that we are on the eve of dis
covery in medical science in regard to
cancers These gentlemen have sailed by
the chart from the outset. They have new
er disagreed as to the course to pursue,
and if they reach port into which no
others have ever entered they must be recog-
nized as the pioneers in movement for the
cure for cancer. There is about one chance
in one thousand of their doing this and that
is high estimate of the possibility. My
own belief is that they are not trying to
cure, but to relieve him. Gen. Grant IS too
big q man to make experiments with in the
disease that has baffled the world for years.
I think they have done better than they ex-
pected in keeping him alive until now.
There is fair possibility that General
Grant will live through the summer. His
physicians think they have reason to know
that he will die within two months-that is,
the cancer will prove fatal in that time.
No one looked for its final development
sooner. General Grant may get well enough
to walk on the street, but he is liable to die
at any moment from the sudden growth OF
his disease"
"Do you look for another reverse of his
! disease within fortnight ?" asked the re-
porter.
81 do. The physicians would not con-
tinue on duty at the house if they did not
share this opinion with me. have noticed
that General Grants four serious attacks
came unexpectedly and without warning
What reason is there to suppose that the
next will not come in the same manner?"

The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1885-10-14

There was an unusual number OF peo-
pie in jackson last Saturday. The stores
were nearly all full, not merely of sight
seers, but of buying and eash-paying Gus
toners. There is now such competition
in every line of trade, and so many cotton
buyers here ready to pay the highest
figures, that the advantages OF jackson as
a market are now generally understood in
all this region. Mr. Beck opened his new
store, at the old Capital State Bank, and
there was a rush of buyers there all day.
The twenty or more young gentlemen and
ladies who sell goods at Stedman g. Co.'S
were unusually active. w. A. Whiting
and his corps Of statesmen had their hands
full The Capital Clothing Emporium
was making wholesome reductions in the
immense piles on its tables and shelves.
John Cleary, as we passed his store, was
exchanging clothing, boots, shoes and some
trunks and valises for cash. Laz. Kahn
had his usual crowd OF Saturday buyers ;
Manship d Julienne were receiving and
selling some of the incest goods in house
furnishing ever brought to the market.
Seutter and Her were doing fair trade,
and are sorting up for the State Fair and
the holidays. Lemly & Bro, were busy
as usual, and will announce some special
ties as soon as they get time. Several
other big houses were also doing good
business, and we are satisfied they would
do good deal more were they not so
modest in the use of printers ink But
whether they advertise or not, we hope
that all the business houses of our city
may enjoy for some time to come the bust
ness boom that appears to have set in.
