Tho Gift ofHealing Claimed BY Kings

Tho GIFT of healing scrofula and SINH.
lar diseases, claimed for centuries by
our kings, lasted, as we know, to tho
ago of Queen Anne, and the service
used on the occasion can DO read In the
common prayer book printed in her
reign. That very sacred king, Charles
H.-if wo may believe an eye witness,
one of his own surgoons-performed
many hundreds of cures, aud Is said to
have touched in twcnty-oue years up
ward Of ninety-two thousand sufferers.
"God give you better health and moro
sense" was the beuediction of William
III. over the only person he could be
persuaded to touch. Tho writer observes
that though tho belief in the virtue of
the royal touch was silly superstition,
it was not, as Macaulay terms it, an i'm
posture, since patients were often
cured by the impression produced on the
nervous system, the excitement
caused by the royal touch in cases OF
scrofula causing freer flow of blood to
the part effected.
The remedies given by physician in

worse than the disease. Cardan, man

gems and the bone of unicorn, and
when troubled with sleeplessness he re-
latcs that he applied bears grease to
seventeen places on the body. Cardan,
who, by the way, was summoned in tho
last illness of Edward VI, was very
superstitious. His son had been exc
cutcd for poisoning his wife, and tho
father, in a dream, heard voice, tell
ing him to put into his mouth the emer-
sic1s NJ wore round his neck. and that
would enable him to forget his son. He

TERRIBLE DEsTITUTION.
Families of the Shenandoah Miners
Without Food for Days,

The restitution among the families Of the
Shenandoah miners is terrible. One family
named Fogel was found to have actually
been without food for two days, and the
children were SO weak from fasting that
when relief came it had to be sparingly
given to avoid killing them. There were
nine in the family. Another family Of six,
named Burns, was in the same state,
and one named johnson was al
most as bad. They are but instances that
have many parallels among the lab1rins EN-
ployes. The relief committee of the strikers
has not the means to aid them. and it seems
impossible that under such circumstances
they can long remain idle. Seven Hundred
dollars is all the money given out here yet.
but $1,000 moro is looked for this week. 1t
has been established that most of the con.
tributions intended for the miners has been
absorbed by the railroaders.

The intelligence that the fishery commits
sioners had agreed upon treaty has created
surprise in Montreal The feeling is that
Canadas interests, to great extent, have
been sacrificed, and considerable indignation
is expressed The leading papers are greatly
dissatisfied with the alleged provisions of the
treaty, the feeling being that the granting
OF the right to American vessels to touch and
trade in Canadian ports is complets
backdown and great victory for
he Americans, as it virtually recognizes the
justice of what the United States has Teen
claiming all along. Some of the Canadian
papers are very mad at the concessions, and
The Montreal Post comes cut boldly for an
aexation. Considerable regret is also ex-
pressed that nothing was done by the en-
mission in regard to the extension Of COM
merciai relations between the two countries
lively time is predicted when the treaty is
laid before the Dominion parliament.

John Gentry Decides to Withdraw
His Suit For $4,000 Damages.

John Gentry, local editor of the
Pembroke Criterion, who came to our
city during the heat of the railroad
election last Saturday, was the target
for little mockery from some of our
boys ON account OF his strong opposi-
ton to the new railroads, and at the
time felt pretty sore over it, and his
first impression was to bring suit for
damages. John has taken very
sensible view Oft though, and recog-
nizes that all such feelings grow out
of the cheat of battle" and after all is
over harsh feelings should be laid
aside. There is one thing John can
feel assured of and that is he got
even with the boys by the shake up
he gave them. There is one thing
that should not be lost sight of and
that is that we have to overlook the
rough treatment offered some of the
advocates of our side at Pembroke.
All differences of opinion and hard
feelings should now end.
