Attorney General Garland and the Doctors
Washington Letter
was told of another of Attorney general Gar
lands peculiarities by friend the other day.
He hates doctors Whenever he hears of a
friend being sick he takes the trouble to warn
him that the medical profession is a humbug,
and the only way to be sure of recovery is to let
it alone. He says he never had a doctor in his
life, and consequently keeps WE'LL
But the other day he broke faith. He was
taken with q peculiar ailment At first he
thought he was getting fat. but it was all con-
fined to his face, and he did not know what to
make of it. Directly his jaws swelled out to an
immense size and became very painful He
dured it long time, but finally grabbed up his
hat and went to doctor who has Office
within square. He said he thought he
poisoned but had no idea who had done it. II
don't think you are poisoned said the doctor,
after examing his face very carefully. you've
got the munps."
The Attorney general left the Office in rage,
muttering, "Mumps! mumps! l wonder if it
isn't cholera infantum! Maybe it's cancer:'
and giving vent to other sarcastic expressions to
show his contempt for the whole medical fra
ternity. But it was the mumps, sure enough,
and all he could do was to keep out Of the way
and cay nothing about it.

the Office during the month Just ended has ex-
ceeded that of any previous month. From this
statement it appears that $50 original pension
certificates have been issued during the month
Of April, 1885, against 1874 during the same
month last year, and that the total number of
pension certificates issued was g. 199 being ,S66
In excess of the number for April, 1884.
The Commissioner of Pensions to-day rendered
decision, subject to the approval of the Seere-
tary CT the Interior, on the pension application
OF Mrs. Emma De Long. widow of the late Lieu
tenant-commander De Long, of tho Jean
nette. The Commissioners holds that the
officers and men who the
Jeannette expedition were in the service of the
United States, and that the order of the Secre-
tary OF the Navy, detailing belong to special
duty at New York, and then to the command Of
the Jeanette, changed his status from absent
on leave to that of active duty" and therefore
entities his widow to pension.
Story About Attorney General Brewster
Washington Special.
That brewster" exAttorney General, lost
his temper in the Dickson trial yesterday sur
prises nobody who knows how testy the old gen
tieman is growing with his years. Bat heard
a story the other day of neat retort of his that
shows him to have been. when a younger man,
as cold and self-contained as Lincoln ever was,
and full as witty. 1t was in the campaign of
"a, believe. that Brewster, in stumping Penn
sylvania, met Daniel D6ugherty in joint debate
in the town of Easton. Brewster had the first
innings and made rafting raspng, audacious
speech that drew wild cheers from his friends
and greatly nettled the Democrats. Doueherty
answered him with torrent of brilliant invec
tive ridicuing his figures, rending his facts, and
with splendidly imprisoned denunciation hold
ing him up 70 scorn as malevolent demagogue.
After whitening review of his illogical and i'll
grounded argument Dougherty concluded: "And
in the last great day. sir, ], who am now stand
ing here, will appear before the bar of God as
your accuser"
The effect was tremendous. Everybody
thought Brewster was crushed But collecting
himself with effort he arose, paused, smiled
chillingly, and then said, cuttingly:
Sir, in the course of long and varied crimi-
nal practice, have observed that the greatest
criminals are always first to turn States EVIL
dence"
1t was Dougherty who was crushed.
