A New Method of Treating Disease.
 HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are theys There is 8 new depart- ure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifies used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance, the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was ob- tained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing ca. tarrh, was procured, and So on till these in- comparable cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness. rheuma- tism and nervous debility.
 This new method of "one remedy for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experi- enced the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of Patent Medi- cines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp, to pay postage, by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprie- fnra Rk

 Meeting i'm Spring field.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 1S.-A meeting of the Intercollegiate Football league was held in this city this evening and representa- tives were present from Amherst, Dartmouth and Williams colleges, the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology and Stevens Institute. The pennant was formally voted to Dart- mouth. These officers were chosen: Presi- dent, F. w. Lakeman of Dartmouth; vice president, Mir. Orocker of Amherst; secre- tary, E. H. Childs of Williams; treasurer, J. L. De Hart of Stevens.
 The president ruled that the protest of Amherst in her game against the Technology team was unconstitutional, but the delegates voted to allow Amherst her claim and the game. The following clause was added to article Il of the by-laws: "Any team failing to keep her football engagements shall forfeit her position in the league, unless satisfac tory financial settlement is made with the home team. i"
 The most interesting feature of the evening was the bitter denunciation of Dartmouth, al the delegates from other colleges claiming that teams wishing Hanover were unfairly treated by the college students there. Iii, Dartmouth delegates promised to alter thing and on this condition were re-admitted. Tn meeting adjourned to October 3, 1890.

Collapse of tho Western States Rail.
 way Passenger AssoeiasIon.
 '; CHICAGO, Dec.' 1S.-The Western States Railway Passenger association was dissolved at meeting of the general managers of the lines in the association this afternoon. This action was taken on acconnt of the recent withdrawal from membership of the Burling ton & Northern and Minneapolis & St. Louis. These roads absolutely refused to remain in the association unless the Wisconsin Central showed to the members it's secret contracts on passenger business in accordance with the association agreement. This the Wisconsin Central refused to do. In addition to this, at oday's session, the Wisconsin Central ab- solutely refused to remain a member of the association unless it was allowed differential rate fares. A resolution was then passed dissolvinR the association and throwing the whole blame on "the demands of ono of the msmbers.n The Western States association has been the largest and, owing to its mem- bership, the most important in rate pre- serving sense of any of the passenger asso. citations of the country. The western and southwestern lines will undoubtedly form a new association, leaving the northwestern lines to look out for themselves.

THE SKIPPING LEAGO U Hs
 speeches by Eminent Advocates of the
 Revival of American Shipping In-
 terests.
 BosToN, Dec. 1s.-The storm to-day inter- fered seriously with the attendance at the exercises arranged by the American league at the international maritime exhibition. Owing to the failure of the Washington delegation to arrive on time the afternoon speech making did not begin until 4 o'clock, when Major Charles s. Hill, secretary of the league, opened the exercisess by introducing Dr. 4. J. Fuller, president of the Bath (Me.) board of trade as chairman. Dr. Fuller spoke briefly of the labors of those who are strug- gling against adverse circumstances to re- vive interest in American shipping.
 Major Hill then read @ letter of regret from General Joseph Wheeler of Alabama, presi- dent of the league, in which the writer de- tailed the benefit by all classes of the Ameri- can people from a revival of shipping. Let ters from Lieutenant Governor Bracket, who was expected to deliver an address of wei. come, and Representative H. Dudley Cole man of New Orleans, also sent letters. Mr. Coleman sent greetings from the members of the Shipping league of New Orleans, who, he said, had taken hold fin earnest to replace the stars and stripes upon the oceans in every port in the world where trade can be built up, and to enter the struggle for com mercial supremacy. He challenged the CO., operation of the North in this patriotic work and promised that the South would lead in the fight.
 Hon. Charles Levi Woodbury then deliv- cred an address showing the necessity of gov- ernment subsidies to merchant vessels to provide for commerce in case of war in Europe and a nucleus for 8 navy in case of war involving the United States. He said that the coasting trade is already quite pros- porous, and nothing but failure to compete with foreign subsidies stands in the way of a prosperous ocean trade. Said he: "The de- velopment of our coasting trade is the biggest mine of wealth now open to the American people, and Congress and the people will make serious mistake if they do not avail themselves of it."
 This evening at eight o'clock Major Hil read a letter of regret at their inability to bt present from Congressmen 0. A. Boutelle, of Main, and John M. Farquhar, of New York The latter expresses the hope that Boston would soon celebrate the passage of 8 ship ping tonnage bill with salute of hundred guns. Major Hill personally expressed tn, regret of Senator Frye for his enforced absence. A poem entitled 'fOur Ships" de dicated to the League and written by Mrs Marian Longfellow Morris was read and Mrs Marian Mcbride, founder of the New Eng land Woman's Press Association, read { paper on "The Interest of Women in Ship ping.

 Claimant for Lottery Prize.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Judge Jamieson has decided that Jacob Baar of Grand Haven, Mich, was not entitled to SIG, ,000 drawn in a Mexican lottery on ticket bought by Eu- gene Rowlson. Rowlson died two days be- fore the drawing occurred. Basr was his partner and appropriated the ticket. When the heirs sought to enjoin Wells, Fargo & Co. from paying him the money, Baar set up the plea that lotteries were illegal in Illinois, and the heirs were not entitled to maintain their action.
 Judge Jamieson overruled his demurrer, and says because lotteries are illegal the law does not authorize theft of the prizes. The money does not belong to Baar and he has no right to appropriate it, no matter from what source it springs.

Up to the night of the 7th inst, rain
had fallen almost necessarily in every
part OF California for over fortnight.
The rainfall in San Francisco up to that
time was about twenty inches for the
season, as compared with seven inches
last year, and the rainfall all over the
State was very heavy The Sacramento
river burst through the levees above the
| town Of Colusa, converting all the low
lands in the vicinity into great sea oil
water, and at one time it was feared that
the town would be washed away. Great
damage was done at other places, and
the river was higher than ever before
known by several inches. At the time

was over as the rain had ceased and the
river was falling. The total damage Ii
hard to estimate, but it will not be less
than million dollars.
