A leading Texas paper compliments DR..
Prentice: DIR. Prentice, of No. Is, Dryades
street. who ha column advertisementinth the
Daily and Weekly Gazette, is having a run OF
practice here unequaeG in this city. People
not Only from Ine Guy DuI lTOull OuR ulSGdilCes
in the country daily flock to his Office, and in
every instance when he tells patient he can
do him good he does it. Many persons who
have been blind for years are now, thanks to
DR.. Prentice, walking tee streets and reading
the newspapers Give DR.. Prentice any
ground TO work on and he perfects a cure. II
all diseases of the head throat and chest he
appears to be equally successful. His brother
physicians are forced to admit that man of
his cures are almost miraculous. His success
lies in the fact that hC AS had great deal Of
experience in r european hospitals, uses the
finest surgical instruments now used, and
avails himself of all the latest improvements
recorded in the leadingmedical and surgical
journals of the day. Should he ever visit
Texas he will no doubt meet with well-merited
success.-Texas Live Stock Journal, January
10th.
DIR. Prentce's system of examining eyes,
(hs own invention has been introduced into
some of the largest hospitals of Europe, and
is endorsed and used by many of the leading
oculists of America. By this method eyes are
relieved of all strain, and fitted so perfectly,
that they regain much of their lost strength.
Piles,
David Kearse, of Colorado City, Tex, suffer
ed many years from piles; had them cut out
and burned out and yet was not cured. DIR.
Prentice cured him in one treatment, and re-
moved the cause four years ago and they
have never returned.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Mrs Sarah f. Al
len, school teacher in the Jefferson school
building in South Washington, was shot and
Killed 10y her husband Oswald G. Allen. Al
len then shot and killed himself There had
been some difficulty between the pair, and
they had not lived together for some time.
The tragedy occurred in the school building.
Allen hired cab on Pennsylvania avenue,
and told the driver to take him TO the Jeffer-
son building. Upon arriving there he alighted
and told the driver to wait until he wanted
him. Then he walked up the stone steps and
passed through the hall into the school room,
adjoining the room where his wife was en-
gagged as a teacher. He showed himself to
her and beckoned her to the door. She came
toward him. As she reached the threshold Of
the cloak room he drew pistol and shot her
in the left temple Turning the pistol then
upon himself, he shot himself through the
right temple Both fell 70 the floor in the
cloak room. The children in the school room
who had witnessed the frightful scene, rushed
from the room in panic and spread the
alarm.

topsy on Bishop.
NEW York, May 1s-The physicians who
made the autopsy on the body Of Irving
Bishop, the mind reader, last Monday after
noon, had very disagreeable surprise when
Coroner Levy arrested them and held them
IN s%,oOO bail TO appear at the inquest next
week. Another post mortem examination
was made Of the body OF the dead mind
reader by Drs. Hamilton, Spitzxa, Biggs,
Janeway, Helmuth and Guernsey, to ascer-
tam whether Bishop died in cataleptic
seizure at the time stated by his physicians,
OF under the surgeons knife a few hours
later, as his mother, Eleanor Fletcher Bishop,
insists.
The coroner's office was filed with friends
OF Mrs Bishop and the physicians who were
interested in the case. DIR. John A. Irwin,
OF % East Thirty-ninth street, who had charge
OF the autopsy; Dr. Frank Ferguson and DIR.
irwin II. Hance, who assisted at it, and Dr.
z. G. Lee, who had been called in consulta-
ton before Bishops death, were summoned
before Coroner Levy.
Tho mas q. Acheson, who represented Mrs
Eleanor Fletcher Bishop and who was also
authorized by District Attorney Fellows TO
represent his office, then astonished the three
doctors who had performed the autopsy by
asking for their arrest on one Of two charges,
either the misdemeanor Of making an autopsy
without the consent Of the relatives or the
felony Of manslaughter, in case it should ap-
pear that death was caused by the surgeons
knife. He said that he had Mrs Bishops
authority for demanding an inquest and a
formal examination.
DR.. slrwin objected vehemently.
Coroner Levy held that he had the right tC
arrest the doctors as a preliminary, and he
fixed bail at s., 500, All procured bail
Then Coroner Levy appointed as experts
to determine whether or not Bishop died
under the surgeons knife Drs Hamilton
Biggs, Spitzka and Janeway.

Of elections for the state Of New York were

a warrant in payment was made out The
late controller, Judge Durham, objected to
the payment Of these accounts In the form
presented, and controversy arose between
the controller, the attorney general and the
secretary Of the treasury on the subject Sec
retary Window sided with the attorney gem
eral, and responded to Judge Durham's re-
quest for hearing by peremptorily inform
ing him that his resignation, rendered pro
forma some time previously, had been ac-
cepted
In going out Of office Judge Durham re-
marked that the department would have to
pay the bill, If they paid it at all, in the way
he insisted 1t must be paid; namely, out Of
the miscellaneous appropriation made in sec
tions 203i and 5000, r. s., and not under
section $40, providing for extraordinary ex-
penses Of 'ministerialn officers, under which
section the attorney general and president

and has passed the age which entities supreme

Judge Miller is still in full vigor Of his intel

lawyer on the supreme bench, but his health
has been giving him some trouble of late and
