PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.-Mrs. Eva
Hamilton, who was pardoned out OF the
New Jersey State Prison a few days ago,
has arrived in this city ifonl New York.
She was extremely reticent and looked
vary pale and nervous as she walked
down the platform. at the Broad street
station. As Mrs. Hamilton alighted
from the train she was in conversation
with an elderly gentleman, who, as she
drove away from the depot said:
Yes, she is going on the stage and in

She possesses dramatic talent Of very
high order, especially in emotional
scenes. Well, you may guess how she

well known in amateur theatricals, and
the managers Of several New York
theaters who have seen her play are

LONDON, Nov. 3O..-Thc mention made
that her Majesty had been doing hel

dal, gravely involving one OF the highest
officers OF the crown, has at last been
confirmed by proceedings in a divorce
court concerning Lord Connemara.
Lord Counemara, better known for
many years rs the Hon. Robert Bourke,
married the only daughter many years
OF the celebrated Marquis OF Dalhousie.
Or late years their married life had not
been happy, and during their residence
in Madras, Lady Connemara made dis.
coyeries concerning n favcrite Irish
maid OF hers which led to 4 violent
rupture and to her ladyship's return to
England.
The disclosures made by the maid,
involved not the maid herself only, but
some ladies Of high position in England,
one OF them the widow Gi a public man
now deceased and we'll known in the
United States and Canada. On the
failure OF the efforts to induce Lady
Connemara to forego an open scandal,
Lord Connemsra finally resigned some
weeks ago his position as Governor OF
Mandras and came home, resolving TO
accept tho divorce before the court
rather than expose the names OF third
parties.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 30.-1t may
now be considered almost certainty
that the Chesapeake snd Ohio Canal ,is
saved 10 the people as waterway for
cheap transportation. After partial de-
struction by flood, and what looked like
total destruction by the Maryland Leg

This entities them to the possession OF

this will not delay work on the canal.

DIR. KOCll'S SECRET

fairs, replying in tho Lower House OF the
Diet to-day to the Interpolation OF Herr
Graf US 10 what measures the Govern.
ment intended to take 10 promote the
adoption OF Prof. Koch's remedy, do.
clared that the aspersiouS cast upon Ger.
tain physicians engaged in using the
lymph had proved groundless. The
Finance Minister, DR.. Won Gossler said,
had placed at the disposal OF Prof. Koch
sufficient funds to enable him to con.
tinue bis inquiries and to produce the
lymph.
There was now good ground to hope
that the remedy would be found to
DO eilicncions in the treatment OF other
diseases than tuberculosis. Care
had been taken to make tho rene.
dy perfectly accessible to the poor.
THE STATE WILL MAKE IT.
In the course OF time the preparation
OF the lymph would be entrusted to com.
petent persons employed by the State.
A private gentleman had given 1000, 900
marks, the Minister stated, TO be used
Tor the benefit OF poor persons suffering
from tuberculosis.
Alter arduous researches extending
over 4 period OF six weeks, it was found
that the lymph could not be supplied at
a cost of % marks per grammee. An
ordinary phial contains sufficient for
1900 iuoculations, each cost 5 pfeun les.
Regarding the question OF placing the |
OF the lymph under the ex-
elusive control OF the State, DR.. Won |
Gessler thought that fcclingoi sa,isluc-
ton would be experienced throughout |
the world il Prussia would set her stamp
upon the lymph; but guarantee must
be gwen against financial or subsidiary ,
The Government would |
eventually invite other nations to send
to study the use OF the
remedy in order that they might apply
1t in their own countries.
FOREIGN PHYSICIANS DIsAprolHrEp,

Ing as ii does an intended prolonged

DR.. Kowakski, a leading Austrian
army physician and chief OF the insti-
