CAN CANCER BE CURED?
A New Cure Comes to America BY Way of China.
Some Instances of Its Use.
Uo,1- NT,;l c,,1 T7,-,roes
New York Mail aud Express.


1t seems to be regarded by physicians
as possible that the long sought for cure
for cancer has been discovered, and that
it is something that has long been known
but was aforetime condemned by the
the doctors. This new (?l discovery is
Chan turpentine. There have been many
persons who have believed in it, but the
physicians have disbelieved until recent
ly. Professor John Clay, Obstetric sur
geon to the Queen S hospital, Birming-
ham, England, reported several cures
in his practice which he effected by the
use of the despised remedy.
1t is not yet certain that the specific
cure has been discovered for it has also
been tried in the London Cancer Hospital
with conflicting results, and in the New
York Skin and Cancer Hospital without
sufficient results either way to justify a
report.
Chan turpentine is the product of a
tree which grows on the Island of SciO, in
the Mediterranean sea. Botanically the
tree is known as the pistacia terebinthus
The turpentine of commerce is soft
solid which becomes brittle when exposed
to the air 1t has an agreeable odor :,
somewhat like that of turpentine, and
with very little taste. When used as a
remedy it is first dissolved in sulphuric
ether and made into an emulsion, with
mucilage of acacia.

A span of horses created no small
amount of surprise in Washington street,
Hoboken, yesterday. One of the horses
was black, short and chunky, with tan
on the under side of its body, and the
lower parts of its legs. Its main was
long and wavy, and its black tail touched
the ground Its mate was n larger
horse, of dark sOrrel color, and of al
most perfect symmetry. Its legs were
slender but shapely, and its body, neck
and head bore unmistakable evidence that
the racing blood of the Hambletonian
stock crossed through its veins. The
strange part of the team was the fact
that each horse had eight feet.
They were hitched TO a dOuble-seated
light wagon, and were driven by nat
tily-dreSsed colored man with muttOn-
chop whiskers and silk hat. He gave a
shout as he slapped the little black horses
with the fiat side of his reins, and the
team with sixteen feet few like the wind
into Tenth street. A policeman stood
spelI-bound at the unusual sight, and it
was Two minutes after the team had
passed before he could regain his COM
posure sufficient to club several little

The colored man drew up in front of
brown stone mansion at Tenth and Hud
son streets, and the team was later driven
through wide gate into dark painted
stable. The horses are owned by Her
mann Reiche, of So Park Row, and are
said to be the only animals of the kind in
the world. The groom said they are
more gentle than ordinary horses and
have great passion for. drinking milk.
Mr.. Reiche said he did not know the
pedigree of the two queer animals, but
remarked that they might be direct de-
scendants of the eight-footed courser,

''I don't think - said a friend of
Thomas a. Edison, some days ago to
group seated in the rear room of one of
the most comfortable hostleries of Or
ange, "that you ever heard the story of
how the Wizard first came east. He was
only young man, careless, generous,
jOvial and totally ignorant of the value
of dollar. He had been knocking round
i'll western towns in various small tele-
graph offices until the reputation of his
wonderful swiftness as an operator
got him into the central office of
western city. From there he
was ordered to report to Boston to fill
vacancy. 1t was warm weather for the
season when he started east, and he
dOnned linen trousers and duster By
the time he reached Boston the weather
had got cold, raw and stormy He didn t
care, and reported just as he was Linen
trousers and buster, topped by slouchy,
brOad-brimmed hat, weren I the fashion
in Boston in the best of weather, and on
Il raw day man with limp, wet buster
on and wet linen trousers, sticking TO his
legs was something to provoke smile.
He walked into the superintendent

INTERSTATE COMMERCE,
What the Commission Says in It
 Annual Report.

The annual report of the Interstate Con- merce commission is now ready. The report says:
 "From the best information now available the railroad mileage of the country on June 80, is estimated at 152 7S1 ,ofwhich ,31 9 miles had been completed and brought into opera tion within the six months preceding that day. The railway construction in 1886 was S,471 miles, in 1887 it was ,26SS miles. The num- Der of corporations represented in the mileage is 1,251, but by reason of leases or other contract arrangements many corporations hold control of and operate one or more roads owned by other corporations, and the whole number making reports of operations at the date named was 665."
 Thereport goes on to say: "While the Com mission is not at this time prepared to re- commend general legislation towards the establishment and promotion of relations between the carriers that shall better sub- serve the public interest than those which forward to the possibility of something of that nature becoming at some time impera- tive, unless great improvement in the existing condition of things is voluntarily inaugurated."
 The subject of uniform classification is treated at length, history of former and present classifications being given, with @ discussion of the principles properly applc- able. After stating the great difficulty in framing a universal classification, and the effect it would have upon rate sheets as well as upon local interests, the Commission con- clude that uniformity in classification, as fast and as far as it can be accomplished without serious mischiefs, is desirable.

CROSSING WATER IN JAPAN.
A Primitive Suspension Cable and ,
 Hundred -Year-Old Cantilever.

From Kofu the best way back to Yokohama is to continue the great circuit around Fujiyama, and to reach it's seaward slope by descending the rapids of the Fujikama River, where for forty miles the water dashes down 8 rocky canyon and furnishes the most exciting kind of navigation. One makes the trip in hatboats, with the bottom planklng so thin as to rise and fall with the pressure of the water, and give one most peculiar sensations. The first quarter of an hour of shooting rapids in these Japanese boats is most miserable, one easily believing that the end has come when the bottom of the boat rises up in hlllocks under one, or sinks in a more sickening way. In any part of Japan one gets the experience, but the rapids of the Flu jikama are the longest, strongest and most famous and best worth boasting of having survived.
 The boatmen wear the least possible clothing, and have only to direct the course of the boat between the rocks, the current sweeping it along as fast as one cares to travel. A boat shoots the forty miles down the river in six hours, but it is hard pull with two ropes and vigorous work with the poles for three days before the crew can get it back again. At one place the river divides and inoloses a high, rocky island, and one branch of the stream is either con- sidered sacred or else so dangerous that boats are not allowed to pass down it. Over this closed branch swings narrow foot-bridge made of Wistaria vines twisted into strong cables. This is probably the original cable suspension bridge of the world, and sways and swings high up over the boiling current, and the people creeping over it's narrow footwalk look no larger than cats.
 The most unique bridge in this part of Japan is the monkey bridge that one sees on the Kofukaido before reaching the town of Kofu. It spans narrow chasm over Q roaring stream, and is the first cantilever bridge in the world, an- tedating the Niagara patented novelty by the trife of century or more in years. Whether the Niagara engineers ever saw picture of the famous monkey bridge, with it's bracketed ends, is the question. The oondescending tourist often on seeing the photographs of this bridge exclaims: "Why, that's cantil- ever bridge. Have the Japanese taken that up so quickly!" They took it up Q century ago, however.--St. Louis GloJe- Democrat.
