another Poor sufferer rescued.

Miss Mary Mccartney employed at the West
brook Manufacturing Company, Saecarrappa,
Me-, five years ago, commenced to feel tired,
languid sensation. She did not care to stand
long. Soon there was soreness to the flesh, and
the hands and feet commenced to swell and pain
her badly. She seemed to ache in every part of
the body. The doctors called, at once pronounced
the trouble inhammatory rheumatism of the
worst form. After long spell of this suffering
she got over this, only in a short time to be again
taken down; and so it has been with her for five
years; sometimes these attacks lasting as long as
eight months. She would work until her mother
would be obliged to help her into bed. Feeling bet
ter in the morning. she would try It again, only
to drag herself home again in the evening. Any
one reading this can understand what this poor
girls sufferngs must have been. Her mother
had done everything she could for her. Doctors
and medicines of all kinds had been tried, but the
girl got no help. About one month ago she ap.
piled to Drs. Smith and McMullen, the magnetic
physicians, at the United States Hotel In terri
BILE condition. She was badly swollen, with hands
and feet like puffoalls and the flesh in every part
SO sore she could not stand to be touched. She
was then given magnetic treatment, and was
told TO continue her work, which she did. She
presented herself at the doctors parlors yester
day, and stated she was as well as ever In her
life. Every sign of pain and swelling have gone,
and for the first time in five years she feels her
self entirely well and strong. Considering the
severity and long standing Of this case it is
sidered quite wonderful cure. Miss Mccartney
will gladly answer any letters containing stamp
or talk with any one calling upon her.
Drs. Smith and McMullen are permanently 10.
Gated at the United States Hotel. They treat
every form Of chronic disease, and can be con.
suited free, from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.

TOO MANY DOCTORS.
Likely to Reduce the Number of
 Students.

The American Medical Association met at Cincinnati. President Garnett, in his annual address, made suggestions which wore re- ceived with storms of applause. He proposed that standing committee be appointed for each State and Territory, to consist of five members, to carry out as far as possible these instructions.
 That each committee shall attend their re- spectiye Legislatures to use all honorable of medical schools in the United States and a consequent dimunition in the annual number of medical graduates; that to this end they urge the passage of law requiring that in the granting of charters for medical schools there shall be clause in every charter requiring that all medical schools or colleges shall de- mand & full term of four years stndy before student shall be admitted to matriculate who has not passed satisfactory examination, both oral and written, in the ordinary branches of academic study; and, further, that any col lege failing to show greater number than fifty matriculates annually for three consecutive years shall forfeit its charter and be abolished.
 'That the faculties of tho medical schools be urgently requested to call a convention to adopt some general and uniform system of medicine education, more comprehensive and rigid in it's requirement, and more in accord with the spirit of the age and the advanced progress of medical science, suggesting four years term of study, the requirement. of pre- iminary education, including somo knowledge of tho classics.
 "Tbat any college or school which shall re- fuse to enter into such an arrangement as may be decided upon by said convention shall be excluded from all connection with the Ameri- can Medical Associations, and it's alumni not recognized as members of the regular profess sion."

ENGLAND'S OFFENCES.
PreparS ions to Repel Invaders in
 the Event of War.

The Right Hon. Edward Stanhope, Secretary of State for War, received a deputation of members of Parliament who presented an ad- dress urging the necessity of placing the coun- try in proper state of defence. In reply the War Secretary declared that there was no ne- cessity for panic. Engand's preparations, he said, compared favorably with those of foreign powers. Still, tho government recog- nized the necessity for immediate action. At all the military ports and coaling stations the work of strengthening the defence was being carried on with renewed activity, and at the leading mercantile ports every effort was being made to complete the submarine mining de- fences.
 An attack upon London by way of the Thames would be made an absolute impossi- bility Multifarious forces of regulars, militia, and volunteers were about to be organized, and the Government would be able to produce at short notice field army sufficient to defend England, and primarily to protect London.
 The leading feature of the plan would be the formation of third army corps, composed of regulars, militia, and volunteers, to be used chiefly in the defence of ports; also the forma- tion Of a reserve field army corps. The points of concentration and lines of defence were be- ing carefully arranged, and the transport ser vice would be ready for any emergency. The volunteer artillery would be increased by tho addition of 250 Mobile and 80 heavier guns. The danger did not lie in the want of numbers, but in incomplete preparations. The govern ment appealed to Parliament to assist in pre- pairing 10 avert any danger that might threaten England.

DRIVEN TO CANNIBAl ISM. Starving Indians in the Canadian
 Northwest Territories.

 The Rev. Dr. Brick, Church of England Missionary at Peace River, Northwest Terri tories, in sermon at Ottawa made some start ling announcements in reference to the Indians of the Northwest. He said that hun dreds of Indians who arc not under treaty with the Canadian Government were dying every year from starvation.
 For the past three years game has been very scarce all through the Northwest, and unless the Government furnish relief at once the race must soon be exterminated. He instances many cases where tho Indians had kept body And soul together for months on boiled leather and old moccasins. and others where horse flesh was tkestaple food of the red men during the winter months.
 Many cases of cannibalism have been report ed, and he had personal knowledge of ono case where woman died of starvation and The rest of the camp devoured her remains. The Government, he said was not bound under treaty to furnish relief to these starving savages, but unless something was done at once the extermination of the race of red men would stand out as blot on the good namo of Canada

DAVITT ON THE RESCRIPT.
He Thinks the Pope's Action Added
 to DillOn's Sentence.

Michael Davitt, in Q speech at Liverpool, O'Connell in resenting the Papal rescript. Ireland had done more for the Church among people throughout the English-speaking world than any other country, and if this was Rome's gratitude, Irishmen would be likely to ask themselves questions in the matter.
 Without wishing his remarks to be construed as an attack on, or as showing disrespect to the Church, he said that whether the rescript was intended as political pronunciamento or not, it would be regarded and had already been hailed as such by every coercionist paper from the Times to the meanest Unionist rag. He was confident that the rescript had added threo months to MT. Dillon's sentence. Irishmcn were compelled to believe that the rescript was due to English intrigues, and Ireland would not accept political dictation from Rome.

NATURALIZED FRENCHMEN
Correspondence on Their Treatment
 When Visiting France.

:. The Secretary of State has transmitted to the Senate copies of a correspondence which has been ln progress several ye ars between rep- resentatiyos of this government and the French authorities respecting tho enforced military duty required by France of naturalized Ameri- can citizens of French birth, or American born citizens of French percentage, who may venture to visit France and be discovered there by the authorities. The correspondence covers the cases of John Fruchier. John Pierre Arbols, John F. Gerard. and Albert F. Gen. dros. Arbois was born in France, but his father came to America and was naturaliZed d, ri ,g the sons minority. Fruchicr and Gerard were naturallzed American citizen of several years in Cambridge, Mass, of French parents, who passed good portion of his minority in this country. In each of the cases the American Minister has been directed to fay the matter before the French authorities and demand the release of the citizen, together with such other relief as the circumstances may seem to re- qmre. The reply of the French Minister has uniformly been in effect that the question of alegiance was ono over which the Adminis- tratlon had no jurisdiction, and which must De settled by the courts. They set forth that, under French principles, citizenship is con- ferred by parentage and not by the place Of birth, and that repatriation of the French ct- lzen requires consent of the French Govern ment.
 Upon these points MT. Bayard has instructed Minister McLane to inform M. Florens that Il @ Government of the United States holds that the decree of naturalization granted by it to French citizen is not open to impeachment by the French Government, either in its executive or its judicial branch; and that if it is alleged to have been improvidently issued the remedy IS by an application to the Department of State.
 You will further say" writes the Secretary, "that if the subjection to forced military ser vice of the citizens, whoso cases you report, is based upon assumption that they are not citi- zens of the United States this department asks for their immediate release, and for & proper compensation for tho losses which they have received by such detention. It cannot be admitted that American citizens, not charged with any crime, should be detained under arrest for even a single day after their proofs of citizenship have been presented In cases like this the United States never admit the propriety of submitting to the ordinary delays of judicial action."

HE WAS WILLING TO WORK.
Tho Fact Unexpectedly Proved and
 aJob Given to Him.

That all beggars are not undeserving tramps was evinced the other day in rather amusing manner. A number of the old habitues of the Grand Pacific Hotel were seated in Col. Wright's iv- cry office in the hotel corridor, chatting pleasantly together and relating remi- niscences of the early days in Chicago, when their conversation was interrupted by the appearance of a sad and woe-be- gone looking stranger. He was 8 man about 35 years of age, but with look of intelligence in his face very different from the ordinary aims soliciting tramp. His clothes were ragged, and he at tempted to hide his soiled shirt front by buttoning his dilapidated coat to the chin. He wanted money enough to get bed, and he was willing to work for it, he said.
 Julian Case, the wealthy miner of Marquette, was in the party, and, after eyeing the stranger critically, he said:
 "You say you are willing to work, if you can get it2''
 Yes, sir, am."
 "Well, sir" said MT. Chase, "here is 35 cents. Go and get broom. I want the sidewalk in front of this door kept clean, and will pay you 25 cents an hour for doing it.
 The man took the money, all present thinking they had seen the last of him, when in about twenty minutes he re- turned armed with brand new broom and commenced his labor of keeping about twelve feet square of the Grand Pacific sidewalk clean. The man worked steadily at his contract, and the matter began to grow serious for the would-be jokers. At last, about o'clock, MT. Case called the man in, and giving him $l, told him to report again in the morning.
 Sure enough, at 2 o'clock the next morning the man was on hand, and promptly commenced his task of keep ing the sidewalk clean. The colored help about the house began to be alarm ed. They imagined that John B. Drake or Sam Parker had decided to dispense with their services, and had engaged an- other to do their work. They tried to drive the sweeper away, but he showed fight and chased his assailants off the sidewalk. About 10 o'clock MT. Chase was dumbfounded to see his man indus triously at work on his little strip of sidewalk, and began to think that his little joke was reacting upon himself. Calling the man inside he gave him $5, and, after inquiring into his circumstan- ces, discovered that he had wife and three children dependent upon him. Further interest was mapifested in the case of tho man who was willing to work if only at sweeping sidewalks, and to- day he is filling a position in wholesale house in the packing department, and his family is now comfortably housed and indulging in three meals a day. This beggar was willing to work and received his reward.

Dies on the Stage.

A singular and dramatic death co
 cured few evenings since in the little town of Arandas, Mexico, during the presentation of drama entitled "Des- pues de Ia Muerte,'' or "After Death. |" During the second act, and few minutes before one of the actors was to feign death, Aracieto Contreras fell to the floor of the stage, exclaiming: 1T die! I die!"-the exact words he was to use later on. The balance of the company, believing he had anticipated his part, was not yet time to feign death. AS he made no reply, they lifted him up and made the startling discovery that he was dead. When this fact was announced intense excitement prevailed in the audience, and people rushed from the place pell-mell, trampling over each other in their efforts to reach the street.
