GEN. JOHN F. MILLER, one of the
Republican L. 5. Senators from Califor-
mia, died in Washington on Monday
last, after protracted illness. He was
in the fifty-fourth year of his age, was a
native Of Indiana, and acquired distinc-
tion and high rank in the army during
the civil war. His term would have
expired, had he lived, on the 4th of
March next. Gen. Stoneman, the pres
ent Governor of California, is a Demo
crat, and will, OF course, appoint a
member Of that party to succeed him.

California this fall and next January il

The Great Hay Fever Army.

It Is estimated that there are one hundred thousand
sufferers from hay fever in the United States;
Der about four times greater than the regular standing
army No disease is more intensely distressing Per-
haps other subjects its victims to tortures
fined and original. Amy of many causes condi-
tons may bring on an attack When the surface of
patient becomes chilled perspiration suddenly checked
the mucous membrane of the air passages is
gested there is exquisite tickling and painful Itch

fuse discharge of nasal mucus; the eyes filed
with tears the blood rushes TO the head and face;
there is severe headache; complete closing of the
nostrs; nervous exhaustion; and complete shaking
up of the entire being.
Of one thing hay fever patients may be certain is
not constitutional ailments it does not arise from
impure state of the blood and socaled blood medi-
cinos and specifics relieve it than
they can cure neuralgia or toothache. Unable to do
better doctors commonly tell their hay fever patients
to try change OF air. and If this is impossible, to
undergo palliative treatment. This means the use of
quinne, Choral odoform carbolc acid, cocaine and
the different preparations OF mercury of them

producing dangerous secondary effects and reactions
The cauterizing treatment adopted by some special
lists not only painful and useless but liable to bring
on paroxysms of real asthma and equally valid objec-
tons exist to the whole abnormal tribe Of douches
smokes powders and snuffs.
In lecture recently delivered at the Chicago Med
lcal College Dr. 5. :. Bishop, Surgeon to the Illinois
Charitable Eye and Ear nfrmary, used the following
remarkable words: 'sTbe man who finds cure for
hay fever need take thought for the morrow, for
the great army of sufferers will cast their golden treas
ures at his feet and erect to his memory monument
OF gratitude more lasting than bronze stone"
Judging by tho results of its in innumerable

talrly lay claim both to the money and the monuments
and while it is not custom TO praise secret

which undoubtedly succeeds where the best results of
other experiments fail, to reach and counterfeit

NEW YORK, Sept 1L+John L. Sullivan, the
prize-fghter, is bankrupt All the money gained
by his pugllism is spent, he has lately been I'M
able to make much more, and financial disaster
now overwhelms him. On coming to New York
to stay he went into partnership with Billy Ben

and sporting saloons. The scheme was to turn
the Central Park Hotel, an establishment al
ready possessed by Bennett, into tremendously
prosperous rendezvous for sporting men. Sui
iivan was to assume half the expenses and risks.
He had not hundred dollars to his name when
he Quilted Boston, and had been COM
pelled to slip out of that city between
lays in order TO escape from criminal
and civil prosecutions for assaults and debts.
But neither he nor Bennett doubted that riches
would result from the New York scheme. No
such thing has happened. There are several
reasons for the failure The police of the pre-
einct holding the Central Park Hotel were
strictly enjoined by the superintendent to per-
init no disorder in the place, and especially TO
enforce the excise law as 70 closing on Sundays
