The Only Impetliment.

A young man desired to get married. He
had a snug house and a thousand dollars in
the bank. He asked the young lad'ys father
and mother and gained their consent. Every
thing went smoothly, and II it had not been
for slight obstacle they would have been
happily and securely Joined together. What
was the reason? you ask. Simply this: the
young lady refused; so he, poor chap was in
q quandary what to do. so finally he thought
of plan. He went to Uncle Emerson on Sole
dad street and bought diamond ring for half
price and that made her better

elegant lttrle solid gold watch, for

MRS. wUoHTER's FAST.
A Woman Who Has Not Been Able
to Eat for 231 Days.


A Woman Who Has Not Been Able
to Eat for 231 Days.
New YORK, November d. On the
outskirts of the village of Whitehall,
seven miles from Allentown, Pa, on
the bank of the Lehigh River, lives
Mrs. Adam Wuchter, the greatest
fasting invalid ever known in this
country. She has not tasted solid
food, if all the witnesses are to be be-
lieved, for 231 days, or liquid nourish.
ment of any kind for twenty-eight
days; yet, strange to tell. she now
seems to be gaining strength.
Her experience Is perhaps the most
remarkable on record. and has set the
medical fraternity agog all over the
State. A fortnight ago, on November
q, an incident occurred that appears
almost miraculous. The case took an
unexpected turn. That was the 20Sth
day that the unfortunate faster had
gone without food or drink. In the
morning, to the surprise of every one,
she expressed desire to partake of
food, and after several attempts she
succeeded in swallowing few drops
of orange juice. She seemed to derive
benefit from the juice, and since then
. few drops have been administered
to her each day, and in addition some
liquid extract of beef and diluted
broth.
Mrs. Wuchter began her fast week
before last Good Friday, April A. A
year before her health had utterly
failed and she had become bedridden.
AS her disease was cancer of the
throat, abstinence from solid food
was necessary and involuntary.
Every essay togive her food brought
on series of violent convulsions.
When in normal health Mrs. Wuch-
ter weighed 1876 pounds, but after hav-
ing tasted sixty days her weight fell
to 55.pounds. At that period convul-
sions racked her frame necessarily
and blood and water flowed from her
eyes. She could not speak without a
great effort, and during the severe
spasms she had to he held down in
bed. Particles of local matter passed
from the panlet, and, taken to :Lafs-
yette College, Easton, showed under
a strong microscope that they con-
tanned both animal and vegetable It's
sue, fat crystals, triple phosphates
and other matter. The condition of
the animal and other matter is such
that neisher DIR. Moore nor DIR. Green,
the physicians of Lafayette College
who made the analysis, thought it
could have been in the woman's sys-
tenn for any great length of time.
INSTRUMENTATION the medical
journals have maintained noneom-
initial attitude as to the case. Most
physicians likewise preserve dis
Greet silenlce on the subject. All this
week Mrs. Wuchter..has complain ed
or pain in the throat and, yet she
converses freely. She says that dur
ing all her months of suffering she
has continually prayed that she
might be able to swallow at least .
few drops Of liquid, and that now
God had answered her prayers. She
does not speak discouragingiy of the
future.

Gen. Meily's Unprovoked Attack Upon
Two Members-The Inyestig alton

A special meeting of the Board OF Trade
took place last evening at Gen. Bartlett's
office. A full attendance was present.
The attention OF the board was occupied
for some time discussing the scurrilous
letter by Gen. Nelly, OF the Santa Fe
Southern road, attacking Messrs. Staab
and Bartlett. The sentiment of the MEM
bers was that such assault was I'M
provoked and wholly uncal ed for, and a
committee was appointed TO formulate
and publish the views Of the board touch
ing This matter. This is the letter that
cones in respond to business letter sent
by the Santa Fe county treasurer to the
Southern trust company of New York
asking an explanation as to the failure
to deliver up their coupons already paid
and still held by the T., 5. +. d n
hackers there. The committee to report
in detail upon this matter is composed OF
Messrs. Boyle, Wedeles and Sol Spiegel-
berg;
A considerable time was also spent in
discussing county finances, and it was
agreed that the board should for the
present suspend its investigations until
the grand jury now in session shall have
had an opportunity to investigate and re-
port.

John R. DeMier, prominent citizen of

city last night and is guest at the Palace.
Mr.. DeMier used these words when ques-
toned as TO New Mexico's admission to
statehood: Il found the feeling among
congressman very favorable to New Mex
leo. In fact, was surprised to find
among the members, and also among the
department officials, general impression
that New Nj xico would be admitted this
session, if only our own people
do their duty. We must send a
delegation on there at once to
talk facts and show New Mexico up in its
proper light. Do tins, and | confidently
believe that congress will not be long in
deciding to give us an enabling act. Our
representative men now have chance to
do some good and effective work toward
advancing the interests Of this people
Every day that passes now makes the
chances for admission better, for the New
Mexicans now there have already made a
favorable showing, but they need assist
ance, and ought to have It,"
