Missouri, has been selected by Secretary Bayard
to visit the consulafes of the United States in
Europe to ascertain their condition as to eff
cheney and requirements, and to make general
inspection of the consular service on that con-
tinent. This is considered the most desirable
place within the gift of the government. As a
fancy simmer snap there is nothing like it, as it
affords an opportunity to travel over the conti-
nent of Europe at a salary of $40 per day and ten
cents per mile for travelling expenses.
1t connection with this appointment it viii be
recalled that Senator Vest did not agree with the
utterances Of Senator Eustis touching the Presi-
dents methods of making appointments On
the contrary, Senator Vest expresses the highest
admiration for the Presidents policy in this par
ticular.
George Vest, jr., will sail for Europe on Sat-
urday, and his father, Senator Vest, will accom-
pany him to New York.

Faith Cure in Henderson.

A very singular and peculiar case was
developed last week in our city, which
is probably the first occurrence Of the
kind here, and the Neios will give its
numerous readers this morning the cir
cumstances as told last Saturday by an
intimate friend of the young lady's
family. Two weeks ago well-known
young lady Of a popular German fam
lily of this city was stricken with a
dangerous disease. At times she raved
and it required the combined efforts of
those around her TO hold the invalid in
bed. Her condition gradually became
worse, until DIR. H., her attending
physician, told the family that it WAS
useless for him to call more, as the pa
tient had but few short hours to live.
The lady is devout member of the
Methodist Church, and she asked as
last favor that her minister sit with
her In her last hours. The good gentle.
man complied with her request. On
calling he found her very weak. though
able 10 converse. After awhile he
he asked her: ado you believe in
Christ?' She answered that she did
The next q uestion, "Do you believe in
prayer" also received an affirmative
answer, when the minister knelt with
her and prayed, and soon after the lady
observed that she would like glass of
water. Upon one Of those in the room
starting up to get It., she stoutly pro-
tested, saying that she would get 1t
herself, which she did at once, and bet

since. The family physician, hearing
of this remarkable recovery, visit. d the
house next day and congratulated the
young lady upon her recovery from
death. The lady smIlingly remarked :
al thank you, but it was not your medi'
cine that cured me; Christ the only
great physician, came to my rescue"
The case is remarkable one, and Is
receiving considerable attention in
church circles. 1t will at least furnish

were but six persons present, five other

Who held the other four Is not stated
in the committees official report, but
We believe We are safe in stating that
they were reposirg in the inside coat

ton would then be:

and they all reside under the shadow

the people of the State were evincing

six nominated Mr.. Tate, that they
wanted somebody else COR Treasurer.
For the Democracy of two counties in

delegates to vote for another man for
Treasurer when the State convention
should he called. But 10 and behold,
