Eritiahara Enliohf AnAd.

Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter relates a
funny story of an experience in England
during her tour in that country. She
was invited by the Royal artillery to
give an entertainment in aid of mill
tary charitable institution at Woolwich
garrison, near London. Her readings
met with approval, and in response to an
encore she recited "Sheridans Ride"
An old general of the Royal artillery,
who was chairman for the occasion,
came to Miss Potter during the interval
and said, stroking his gray mustache:
"Aw, Miss Pottah, don't cher know,
several persons wish to know-aw-
where the incident of this-aw-Sheri-
dams ride took place. Of course I've
heard about it, but it has-aw-quite es-
capped my memory"
"Why, general" replied Miss Potter,
who dearly loves joke, ''that Sheri-
dams ride took place at the battle Of
Bunker Hill"
Certainly it did," rejoined the gen.
eral, who rose, and addressing the au-
dience, said, Ladies and gentlemen-In
response to numerous inquiries have to
inform you that the ride of General
Sheridan was an incident of the battle
of Bunker Hill. New York Telegram.

English Fortifications In America.

John Bull is preparing to make things
pleasant for Us. He has been of late
especially active in strengthening his
outposts near the United States. Six of
the most powerful modern warships are
to be sent TO the North Atlantic squad
ron, the summer headquarters of which
are at Halifax and the winter quarters
Bermuda. Halifax is close to the Ameri-
can line and only 800 miles from Boston.
Bermuda is only $50 miles from New
York and is heavily fortified.
At Port Royal, in Jamaica, within
one days sail of Florida by steamship,
Mr.. Bull has some very powerful bat
teries. On the little island of ST. Lucia
he has dry dock, naval station and a
heavy battery commanding one of the
approaches to the mouth of the proposed
Nicaragua canal. On all these strong
holds money is now being spent. We
all know about the arsenal, naval depot
and Notifications at Esquimault, and
the warships In these waters. Uncle
Bull has industriously fortified his out
posts as near as possible to the United
States.
The increased activity in this work is
only two or three years old. It must be
costing grest deal of money. 1t mani
tests very friendly interest in our well
fare and shows that our jolly old uncle
has his benevolent eye on US. We shall

The Formation of Tumors.

The oldest theory by which it was at
tempted to account for the origin of
tumors ascribed it to peculiar state Of
the system, a 'capcerous diathesis,"
which rendered the tissues of the body
liable to 'cancerous degeneration" The
great answer to this theory is the large
number of cases now on record in which
complete cure of the disease has been at
tanned by early and thorough operation,
for if the tumor does not return at its
previous site or elsewhere it is manifest
that its cause must have been a local
one and must have been removed with
the tumor.
The coexistence of several tumors has
been advanced as proof that there was a
constitutional faint, but more careful
pathological work has shown that in al
most every case it can be proved that
where there are several tumors one is
considerably older than the rest, and
that the latter are secondary and owe
their existence to an infection from the
first. The old theory also fails to ex-
plain why the cancerous growth remains
confined to one small portion of the body
for so long a time; and why, after re-
moval, it persists in returning to the
same locality; whereas both of these
facts become clear at once on the suppo-
sition that cancer is local disease

South Broad street, from jackson
street to the navy yard gates, was the
scene of a foot race the other day, the
prize being the pretty daughter of a
sailors washerwoman For some time
Barney Burns, a marine, and George
Lindsay, a sailor on board the receiving
ship ST. Louis, which is stationed at
League island, have been enamored of
the bright eyed daughter of the woman
who does their washing. The men were
friends and the girls affections seemed
to be about evenly divided on the two
ardent lovers. How to decide with
which of the two she should cast her lot
was difficult problem, but the happy
thought of foot race presented itself.
The arrangements were perfected and
at o'clock the contestants appeared
upon the course, which was two miles
long, accompanied by large crowd who
had been advised of the contest. Burns
stands feet inches in height and
weighs about 200 pounds, while his OPP
ponent, Lindsay, is 1.-the and willowy;
and the sports in the crowd were not
long in determining upon the latter as
the favorite.
At the crack of the pistol the lovers
were off at rapid gait, and until the
tracks of the Greenwich Point extension
of the Pennsylvania railroad were reach
ed kept well together. The pace told
upon Burns wind, however, and he
dropped behind, and when Lindsay
reached the end of the goal his COM
petitor was not in sight. The washer
woman's daughter will now become Mrs.
Lindsay.-Philadelphia Record.
