THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.

In the address of welcome to the mem
bers of the State Medical society yesterday,
DR.. DAY paid just tribute to the marvellous
progress made in medical science within
the last half century. AS the doctor says,
there is no other science which deals SO
exclusively with human life as that OF
medicine, and consequently it is the pro-
fession of professions. 1t is brought into
more frequent and more intimate contact
with the great mass of humanity than all
others combined. 1t bears with it more re-
sponsibility than any other, for the ply
stefan holds in his hand continually the
issues of life and death. His influence
upon social life is illimitable, for he is
prophet, priest and king to the households
of the land. The development OF the
physical sciences is largely his work, for in
the doctors laboratory are made the chemical
experiments that often lead to the
grandest results in all the differ
eht departments of science. The
soil of the plains, the ore of the mines, the
stones of the mountains, the waters of the
rivers and the oceans, the air that we
breathe, the light of the sun, the bursting
blaze of the clouds, all have been thrown
into an memorable crucible. They have
been dissected particle by particle, and all
their mighty hidden forces discovered and
appropriated to the use and advancement
of modern civilization. In all these the
members Of the medical profession have
played a conspicuous part. And yet how
small they seem when compared to the
field of useful experiment and analytical
investigation, wherein the physician has
exclusive range. As, for instance, the illus
tration used by Dr.. DAY, where the ply
stefan injects into his own veins the deadly
cholera microbe, sin order that he may add
another to the many boons his pro-
fession has given to his fellow
man." 1t is noble profession, and has
accomplished grand results.
Yet, as President MCGAUGHEY says, the
science is still in its infancy, and its posi-
bilitieS in the future are greater than its
achievements in the past. 1t is eminently
proper, therefore, that the members of the
profession in a great state like Minnesota
should hold their annual meetings to agree
upon concerted action whereby they can the
more rapidly promote the usefulness of the
medical science, and thus facilitate the
progress of our splendid civilization.

The Inland Sea.

MONTREAL, June 1S.-John Bignall, the
late head of the government exploring ex-
petition to Lake Mistassini, who has
just returned to Quebec. states that his son
in no way exaggerated the facts i'll regard
to the big lake Mistassini, the great I'M
known inland sea of Northeastern Canada.
He says that some of the numerous islands
which it contains appear to him to be over
ten miles in length, and were found to en-
brace large lakes in their interior. One re-
suit of his observations was to show that the
height of the lands formerly the northern
boundary of that province, and the situation
of both Great and Little Mistassini as laid
down on the maps, is altogether erro-
neous. The latitude of the Hudson Say COM
pany'S port is at least half a degree from
that heretofore accepted as correct, and
Little Mistassini, instead of being a
mere arm of the big lake, is in reality dis
tinct sheet of water, 100 to 12O miles long
by s wide. Among other natural curiosi-
ties of the region Mr.. Bignall visited All ex-
traofdinary cave known among the local
Indians as the 'sCave of the Great Spirit"
In it are stored quantity of expedition
supplies Mr.. Bignall reports that the cold
of last winter at MistaSSini was intense,
marking Sc degrees below zero in Decem-
Der and SO on March 81. But he believes
that the soil of the region will be found
well fitted for the growths of hard woods
and some grains. When he started on his
return to Quebec on May % the ice on the
bay was breaking up, but the main body of
the lake still held firm.

THE FAITH CURE.

The faith cure is raging in Trenton, N.
j., and there, as elsewhere in the Eastern
cities, it has found its strongest devotees
clergyman is doing the bulk of the healing,
and the leading physicians are turning over
their hopeless patients to him. And the sim
gular part of it is that the preacher generally
turns them out sound and well. He always
uses a certain kind of oil to anont his
patients with while he is praying over them.
The question under discussion in Trenton
circles is whether the curative powers lie in
the prayers or in the oil. There are people
SuperstitiOuS enough to believe that the oil
is only some king of pain cure which the
minister has discovered in his chemical in
veStigations, and that he is using it to exalt
his supposed influence with supernatural
powers. Others maintain that there is no
virtue in the oil, which is nothing more
than the fat Of the olive, but that its appli-
cation is part of the system used in the
olden times when miracles were wrought by
the laying on of hands and the amounting
the body with oil. There is case reported
of lady in high social circles. who had
been an invalid for long Time and had
been pronounced incurable by all the lead
ing New York physicians. In her extrem-
ty she applied to the Rev. HELLER, who
prayed with her and anointed her. The
lady prayed also, and said that she had
faith in the healing. She arose in few
minutes and is now attending to her house
hold duties for the first time in many years.
Other notable cases are mentioned, but the
mass Of the people of the city of Trenton
still insist that the cures are attributed to
natural causes, while they confess their in
ability to explain them. The physicians
are more mystified by the curious results of
HELLER's faith cure than anybody else, and
are willing to attribute his success to super
natural agencies. 1t is not uncommon, how
ever, to find physicians who have so much
faith in their own skill that they are not
willing to concede that anything short of
Omnipotence can cure where they fail.

ST. PAUL AND CHOLERA.

The intelligent discussion of the cholera
question in its relation to St. Paul by DR..
JONES, the new health officer, is at once
interesting from the important information
it contains, and also an assurance that the
city's health and sanitary conditions are Wig
ilantly watched by the new officer. AS
Dr.. JONES says cholera is now on the third
year of its journey from India, and its power
is waning. 1t is true also that with st.
Paul's healthful location and excellent IA
cilities for draining, there ought to be little
cause for alarm from this source this year.
AS matter of fact, the average citizen of
st. Paul stands about the same
chance of being struck by light
ming this year as by cholera.
st. Paul is not considered wasteful, how
ever, in spending thousands of dollars for
great traveller, and the dread seed may be
imported with almost any one of the hun
bred thousand immigrants who pass through
the city each summer. Some of the ordi-
nary precautions against the disease which
the doctor suggests would certainly not be
out of place. Special pains should be taken
to flush frequently the sewers-those dark,
damp, hot seed beds of the fatal germ.
There are pest-holes, whose green scum
is a cause for dread, which should be
pumped out or filled up; and above all the
gospel of cleanliness should be preached
and enforced. All these suggestions are
good in themselves, cholera or no cholera,
and remembrance should be had Of diphthe-
ria and typhoid fever as well as of the Ash
attic nlague.

A PECULIAR CONFLICT.

There is peculiar conflict being waged
in Chill between the church and the state
and it is having curious results. By the
civil marriage law of 1888 the CHILEAN govern
ment does not allow a clerical marriage any
force in law. The church refuses to recog-
nize any force in religion to acivil marriage
AS most Of the women are ON the side of
the church and most of the men sustain the
government, there is an almost total sus-
pension of marriages. It is said that the
marriage rite is seldom performed except
among the very poor and illiterate classes
who have neither religion enough nor re-
spect for the law to create any scruples
about the matter. AS result of the con-
flict the proportion of illegitimacy in births
is prodigiousA exceeding % per cent. This
is pretty hard state of affairs for young
lovers who have been waiting impatieltly
for two years to let the clouds of prejudice
roll by in order that their destinies may be
united. There ought to be some sort of
compromise agreed upon. If nothing bet
ter can be done double ceremony ought to
be performed by the church and the
other by the state.

PANAMA TROUBLES.

The withdrawal of the United States
marines from the Isthmus of Panama seems
to be the signal for a revival of the revolrl-
tionary proceedings which prevailed there
before their arrival. The negotiations now
in progress at Barranquilla will determine
whether the isthmus can long remain quiet
and safe under existing circumstances. It
is altogether possible that the work done by
our forces will have to be done over again.
for it is not probable that the lnsurgent
leaders will accept the terms offered
them without further fighting. The sue
cess of the Conservatives has been ascribed
to foreign interference. While under the
terms of capitalization AIzPURU was to have
srlrrendere / all of his arms, count showed
that the greater part of his decamping fol-
lowers took their arms with them Hence
the liability of another armed rising as
soon as the United States forces are with
drawn.

More Charges of Corrup,ion.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, June 19.-In the
house investigating committee ON yestel-
day, Mr.. Collins, chairman of the commit
tee, laid before the organization an affidavit
signed by f. III. Tubbs, superintendent of
the Western Union Telegraph company at
Chicago, to the effect that during the month
of February of last year he had been called
upon at the Leland hotel in
this city by Representative Baker
of Moultrie county, and that the latter
offered to kill the telegraph bill for S25. 900;
that of this sum $4,000 was to be given
Baker for himself, and the remainder was
for distribution among other parties. The
reading of the document occasioned quite
sensation among the committee. and sum-
mons was at once sent Mr.. Baker, who soon
made his appearance, and being sworn said
he knew Mr.. Tubbs and had talked with
him upon several occasions. He explicitly
denied that he had at any time made any
proposition to Mr.. Tubbs OF any one else of
the character referred to. The committee
then adjourned for the day.

REGINA, June 1s.-Forty prisoners, in
GLIDING Maxine Lepine Al. Fisher, Philip
Garneau, Guardepuy, Monkman aud White
Cap, under strong escort of police, ar
rived this morning from BatOche and Hum
boldt. The accommodation in the guard
room is insufficient, and the majority will
be guarded in tents at the barracks. Riel
has wired his friends in Quebec, asking
them to apply for his trial in the province
OF Quebec, on the grounds that he would
obtain more justice, besides saving expense.
He spends great portion of his time writ
ing to his family and to counsel He still
looks detected, but is reported to be hope
full as to the result. Extra precautions have
been taken to prevent civilians from ap-
preaching within one hundred yards of the
barracks, and policemen patrol the vicinity
day and night. 1t is understood here that
Col. Richardson will have associated with
him Mr.. Dodd and Henry Fisher, justices
OF the peace. They are informed that Riel
will be tried for treason, under the English
statutes of Edward Ill, and amendments
for murder under the common law, and
treason felony under 81 Vic, chapter IA,

GEN. SHERMAN IN A DECLINE.

Among all the distinguished veterans of
the late war there is noneSwho has pre-
served his physical strength or youthful
vivacity better than Gen. SHERMAN. Time
has dealt very kindly with the jolly old
soldier. Comparatively few silver threads
have stolen in to disturb the harmony of
the dark-colored hair, the bronzed cheeks
bear no wrinkles, and the laughing eye is
as full Of merTiment as in the days of his
mischievous boyhoed. Notwithstanding
all these outward evidences of vigorous
manhood there are other evidences of the
telling effect of age on the veteran soldier.
A recent exhibition of this evidence of
declining powers was given while Gen.
SHERMAN was attending the commence
ment exercises of female seminary
in Kansas. Independent of his military
reputation Gen. SHERMAN's chief fame
rests on his powers of OSCILLATION. 1t is
said that old TECUMsEH is the only person
in the world who can kiss more girls at one
scious was he of his powers Of endurance
in this respect that few years ago
the general never flinched from the
ordeal of kissing every woman in a
town or city in which he happened to stop.
Public demonstrations are always the order
wherever TEcUMsEH SHERMAN fingers for
a day, and notable feature of these
demonstrations has been that each female
was expected to push her way to the front
and implant glorious old-fashioned Fourth
of July kiss right on the generals mouth.
And yet he was never known to do aught
but smack his mouth and wipe his chops in
a way to convince that he relished the dem
onstration. But the story now comes that
at the school commencement above referred
to the usual osculatory performance had
been arranged and the 200 or 800 young
ladies of the seminary were drawn up in
platoons on the stage to give the hero Of
ssthe march to the sea" the usual salute. To
the surprise of everybody the general kicked
against the arrangement. He evidently
felt that he lacked the physical endurance
to go through with it. For the first time in
life he realized that he was growing old.
The force Of habit was strong and, like the
old war horse who shifts the battle from
afar, the general could not en-

TROUBLE ON THE HILL.
st. Anthony Hillites May Have to
Walk Down Town.

w AK DOWN IONns
The people on St. Anthony hill are a
good deal annoyed in consequence Of con-
siderable number of the streets and avenues
being torn up for the purpose of putting in
water and gas and constructing sewers. One
result of this is that the street car company
is compelled to take up its track on some
streets and lay it ON others, to keep out Of
the way OF public improvements. In some
instances the street car people have had to
abandon wholly some of the streets. 1t is
not alone the people of st. Anthony hill
that suffer. The street car company has
its trouble, too. In the first place, Summit
avenue was torn UP from Rice street to
Nelson avenue. This avenue has been re-
stored. Western avenue is now torn up
from Nelson to Laurel, and the company
had to vaeate it, and now runs to Virginia
avenue on Nelson. AS soon as possible the
road will go back to Western avenue. The
company has been compelled to vacate
Dale street and also Grand avenue,
and there being no streets in the vicinity
that the company can use, the people on
these two last thoroughfares are wholly
without street car service at present. 1t is
understood that the public Improvements
contemplated by the city will make it nee
essary to tear up Laurel avenue. IT this is
done, the street car people say. they do not
know what they will do. 1t looks now as
though the work on the public streets in the
section referred to would not be finished be-
fore fall. Some of the people on the hill
say that part of town looks as though it had
been hit by an earthquake, and good many
of them are growing about it. This condi-
ton of affairs seems to be unavoidable. A
visit was made to the city engineers office
to see if anything could be done to avoid
the inconvenience complained of. Mr..
Rundlett says that the work is being prose-
cuted with as much rapidity as possible and
just as little trouble is made as possible,
but that it takes time to do the work and
people ought to bear the inconvenience
without complaint.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-The meeting of the
managers of the lines included in the North
western Traffic association, was held to-
day. The question at issue, and the only
one of any Importance considered, was the
rate to be charged OH flour over the Omaha
road by way OF Washbuln, from st. Paul
and Minneapolis. While that road has
never refused to report its business
to the pool. it has insisted
that owing to the competition with
the Duluth line it could not quote over a To-
cent rate from Chicago to New York, While
the commissioner had prescribed 1873 cents.
All OF the roads, it is understood, were in
favor of the latter with the exception of the
Northwestern, which naturally upheld the
Omaha. As there was no possibility OF an
agreement it was decided to refer the mat
ter for arbitration. Manitoba business has
hot been discussed and the managers were
only in session for an hour.

ENTERPRISE i'm Dakota.

Information supposed to be reliable Is re-
ceived that the Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way company has determined to extend its
line from Glendale, Oak, to ST., George
this season. A number Of the railway Of
ficials have arranged to meet some OF the
representative citizens of ST. George for
a conference on this subject within a few
DAYS. The chief Importance OF the move
ment consists in the fact that the town of
st. George is in the Northern Pacific coun-
try on the route of the proposed extension
of the Fargo & Southwestern railway, which
at present terminates at La Moure. Rail
way men everywhere have been watching
with keen interest to see the Milwaukee u
St. Paul break into this tempting field.
The Rock Island company issuppOsed to be
the real owner of the James River Valley
line which has partially been constructed
between Watertown and Jamestown, but it
is making no apparent. progress, and the
advent of that line to La MOure this
season is no longer looked for. If the Ell
lendale branch of the Milwaukee u ST.
Paul goes to st. George as is now promised,
it will undoubtedly go to Bismarck either
this or next season. But what is properly
termed the Northern Pacific country is
reached fifteen or twenty miles north of
Glendale. so that the music will not strike
UP the moment the Milwaukee & st. Paul
begins the extension from the latter place.
St. George is great wheat center. and
there was spirited rivalry for the produce
of that region last season between the grain
buyers Oh the two lines, the haul to La
Moure be being about the same as to Ellen
dale. The st. George people claim that the
Northern Pacific has broken faith with
them in falling to extend the line to La
Moure last fall, so as to furnish them trans
portatlon facilities. Another consideration
of general interest is that the extension of
one Chicago line into Northern Pacific
country in the direction of Bismarck
will lead other Northwestern roads to seek
foothold in that part Of the territory.
An agreement has existed for two OF three
years preventing the Northern Pacific from
building south of Minor and La Moure and
the Southern roads from invading Northern
territory. This contract was virtually,
though not literally, broken by the opening
of the Fargo Il Southern under the guar
dianship of the Milwaukee q st. Paul.
Lively times may be expected in railway
circles and town site enterprises when the
big corporations get to fighting for the bust
ness of the upper James and Missouri river
valleys
