The sick woman replied Yes, hsd
resolved to leave the hospital, whsre no
good has been done to me, and TO seek
health from God and the Prince ne
rai,ed his eyes TO heaven and prayed
then assured the patient Of her cure.
Her case became rapidly worse instead
of better. 7. Msrgaretts Lohlein' Oh
Rardsacher; aged ffty.six. Suffering
from dropsy owing to disorganization
Of the liver. Another failure. Shortly
after the Prince left she had to DO
operated on to save her from suffoca-
ton. 10. Susanna S5llnerin, servant
maid Of Aub, sged twenty-five; had
already been thirteen weeks in hospital ,
suffering from roaring noises in the head
and deafness. The Prince, observing
the fervor of her faith, cried out, You
shall see now how speedily she will be
cured! - Prayers, blessing, as before
and as before, no results. IL. George
Forchheimer, butcher, suffering from
rheumatism. One foot is immovaole,
and he can only walk with the assist
apce Of q stick. During the prayer
of the Prince the patient wept and
sobbed, and was profoundly sgitated:
The Prince ordered him to stand up and
20 without his stick. His efforts to
obey were unavailing. He fell several
times on the ground, though the Prince
repeated over him his prayers" These
are sufficient as instances not single
case in the hospital was more success
fully treated by him. On July 9th
Prince Hohenlohe went to Bamberg,
where be was eagerly awaited by
many sick and credulous persons.
The Burgomaster Hornthal, however,
interfered, and forbade the at
tempt at performing miracles till
the authorities at Baireuth had been
instructed of his arrival, and till COM
mission had been appointed of men OF
Judgment and physicians to take note
of the previous condition Of every pa
tent who was submitted to him, and
Of the subsequent condition. Thus
hampered the Prince could do nothing !;
he failed as signally as in the julius
Hospital, at Wurzberg, and the only
cases of cures claimed to have been
wrought were among mixed crowd in
the street, to whom he gave blessing
from the balcony of his lodging. Find
ing that Bamberg was uncongenial,
be accepted a call to the baths
Of Bruckenau, and thence news
reached the incredulous of Bam-
berg and Wurzberg that ex-
traordinary cures had been wrought
at the prayers of the Prince. As, how
ever, we have no details respecting
these, We may pass them over. Ho-
benlohe, who had no notion Of hiding
bis light under a bushel, drew up de-
tailed account of over hundred cures
which he claimed to have worked, had
them attested by witnesses, and sent
this precious document to the Pope,
who with good sense took no notice Of
it; at least no public notice, though it
is probable that he administered sharp
private reprimand, for Hohenlohe col
lapsed very speedily.

special cablegram of recent date says:
In the chancery division of the high
court of Justice, London, Vice-Chancel-
Tor Bacon has given his decision in favor
of The Charles a. Vogeler Company, OF
Baltimore, Maryland. the action brought
by that house against III. Churchill d
Co., of Brisbane, Queensland. The case
which has been in progress since Sep
TENDER, 1884, grew out of an attempt OF
Churchill q Company to register trade-
mark containing the words st. Patrlcks
Oil in connection with medicinal pre-
paration. This was promptly opposed
by the Vogeler Company, who, while
admitting that the term and device
which were sought to be registered by
the Australian firm were i'm no respect
identical to the well-known st. Jacobs Oil
trade marks, commended, however, that
sufficient similarity existed between the
term st. Patricks applied ny Churchill
d Co., and st. Jacobs as used by the
VOgeler Co., to cause confusion in the
minds of the public and lead to pur-
chasers being deceived. In support of
this position they submitted an over
whelmlng amount of evidence from Eng
lish, American and Australian sources
with the result stated. Under the de-
cision of the court, Churchill u Co. can
not register their mark and must pay
costs of the case. This is the second
trade mark suit won by the Vogeler
Company in England within three years.

"A gentleman who has Just returned

toba, says that GIiman's chances for gov
ernOr are very bright. He SAYS that all
the employees of the road have been in
structed to do all they can for Gilman
and that means Il good following"
If there has been any proof wanting to
show the oft-repeated assertion that Gil
mans candidacy for Governor is being
aided in every possible way by the Mani
toba road, the above item from the St.
should supply the deficiency. The Dis
patch is nothing if not for Gilman, and
the gall of that paper TO publish To the
people Of the State that "the employees
of the road have been instructed to do
ali they can for Gilman" shows that il
cares nothing for the opinion of the
farmers and laboring men. Is Gilman,
the acknowledged tool Of railroads and
other grasping monopolies, the kind of
man Minnesota Republicans want to
head their ticket? We think not. And
IT il high time that the people express
themselves against such candidates. The
convention at Good Thunder last week,

IT is understood that Mt the national
convention of the Knights of Labor, al
Richmond next month, changes in the
present laws will be made that will
amount practically to complete reOr.
ganization of the order. The district
plan has not proven SO successful as was
expected, for the reason that i'm many
places districts have been formed with
i'm districts and i'm consequence the local
strength has been divided. The great
number of district assemblies also makes
it impossible for the general officers
even with the assistance given the exc
cutive board at the Cleveland meeting
to keep up with the business. The re-
suit is that important matters frequently
cannot bc investigated promptly enough
to prevent dissatisfaction. To remedy
this it is proposed to model after the
government of the United States, that is,
to have State organizations and SUI
prcme or national assembly. The State
assembly, under the new plan, will have
control of the territory under their juris-
diction, but the acts of their officers will
he subject to reversal 10y the general
master workman. Thus Mr.. Powderly
Will retain supreme control, while gain
ing relief from the routine work that
now falls on his shoulders. The plan
has been thoroughly canvassed since the
adjournment of the Cleveland conven-
ton, and there il little doubt that it will
he adopted.
