that upder the present rules the House is a
good example of a Circumocutlon once.
There were, he said only three kinds OF bills
that could be passcd-unimportant ones, eX-

as riders to appropriation bills The legls-

While large and wcl-stocked museums are
an important means OF education in any COM
munity, the request of the trustees of the Mu-
scum of Natural History for 100000 for the
enlargement of their building does not seem
reasonable at this time. In view Of the fact
that the city debt Including the sinking fund
already exceeds the constitutional limit, and
inasmuch as the expenditures for school build
ings. docks and all other improvements except
the increase of the water supply, must be pro-
vidcd for in the tax levy, it is not likely that
the Board of Estimate will make the appro-
priation asked for. One of the reasons given
for the need of increased room is That the free
lectures to teachers can be attended by only a
limited number on account OF the smallncss OF
the hall. If these lectures are as important as
is represented, Why do not the trustees build a
hall with the handsome bequest lately made to
the Museum

which includes among other things an Irish

Gen. Grant.

On the 25th of April Gen. Grants
throat was examined by the aid of a
new scientific instrument, and the
agent, A. L. Cohen, pronounced the
case hopeless. The state of the Gen
erals's throat being such that he could
not open his mouth wide enough to
admit of the use of the old instrument,
the new one was put into operation for
the first time in this country. 1t con-
sists of a dynamo generator worked by
a crank and tongue depressor and in
candescent lamp in one. A view of
the Generals throat under the new
light revealed very dscouraging
state of affairs. The gums are honey
combed, and for distance down the
uvula presented the appearance of a
red, rough surface covered with mucus.
To this is attributed the pain and un-
easiness which the General has been
suffering from for the last few days.
Mr.. Cohen is of opinion that the doc
tors have made no mistake in their
dig gnosis, and that the Generals case
is hopeless one. He also stated that
in conversation with one oF the attend
ing physicians, the latter said the 6 %, a.
RAILS was critical case, that no definite
opinion can be given of it. There is
no such thing as relapse in case of
cancer, for the disease progresses stead
lily to its termination. There are days
when the General feels we'll, and when
the diseased part has Il better appear
ance, but there is nothing to hope for in
the Generals case. He may live for a
few months, or a few days may end his
life.
AS to the manner of his death,'
continued the speaker, he will die OF
suffocation. There will suddenly come
a swelling of his throat, caused by the
rupture of blood vessel and all will
be over. The Generals case is hope
less one. y
