Maine Students in New York.

THE SUCCESS OF A sEARsPoRT YOUNG MAN
AN ORGANIZATION OF MAINE STATE COLLEGE
GRADUATES.
Especial Correspondence of the Journal
New YORK CITY, April 4, 1892. At the
graduating exercises of the Medical Depart
ment of the University of New York, held
at the Metropolitan Opera House Tuesday
evening, March %, one of Names smart
young men, and more particularly one of
Searsport's brightest students, received the
degree of Doctor of Medicine. Mr.. j. S.
Ferguson has many relatives and friends in
both Searsport and Belfast who will con-
Sratulate him upon the successful termina-
ton of What has been remarkably bril-
liant career in the leading medical college
of the country.
The number Of students who this year re-
ceived their diploma at the hand Of the
Dean, Charles Inslee Pardee, NJ d., was
one hundred and siNty-two, some twenty or
thirty others having failed to pass the final
examination. In this number Mr. Ferguson
has been one of the first in point of scholar
ship and general popularity, and although
not securing one OF the pIizes, it is claimed
by his friends that he is better versed in
medicine than the one who secured the first
prlZe, and ON account of the rank of STU
dent OF last years class being brought over
Mr.. Ferguson was deprived Of another prize
i'll this way. He has held during the past
year position on the executive committee,
one of the nine offices in the class that has
numbered nearly two hundred students.
Mr.. Ferguson is a graduate of the Sears
port High School and the Maine State Col
lege, finishing at Orono in a three years
course in 1889, and entering the medical
school the following fall He is still few
months under his majority, a fact which
might have prevented his graduation had it
been fully known to the faculty of the Uni
versity.
Young Ferguson was successful in VIM
ming fellowship of $500 in the department
of Pathology, and as he has already accept
ed t1attering offer to become the assistant
in the department of Histology in the Medi-
cal Department, he will remain to avail
himself of further study and work in his
chosen profession.
In the medical college are three other
students from Maine, one of whom, Mr.. F.
w. Sawyer, of Milford, MIR. Ferguson's s
roommate is also graduate of the Maine
State College in the class of 80. Mr.. Saw
Yer is making good record in his class.
BY the way, the alumni and non-graduates
of the Maine State College who are living in
ur near New y Nork City are to hold a reunion
and banquet on Tuesday evening and form
a permanent organization that may meet
for social intercourse from time to time
There are upwards of a dozen of the former
students of this institution, all holding re-
sponsible positions here or pursuing studies
i'll some of the advanced schools of this city &,
and this reunion of old and young alumni
promises to he very pleasant. X.

sufferings with patience, always forget
ting self, and careful of those she low
ed. The morning of her death she dress

alone but short time when she was found
by her husband dead upon the floor, her
clothing on fire also her chair, which had

Death of Gen. Farnsworth.

The statement having been recently repeated
in newspapers that Gen. Farnsworth committed
suicide while lying wounded on the field of
Gettysburg at the conclusion of his desperate
charge rather than be taken prisoner, Capt.
Walls, who served on Gen. Farnsworth's staff,
writes us: "The statement In regard to Gen.
Farnsworth is misleading, and in fact abso-
lute!y false. 1t is quite evident that the
author of this article thought that by the
death of Gen. Wells the last witness had
been removed and the old SANDER could be re-
vive9 with impunity. All / wish to say here
is that Gen. Farnsworth protested earnestly
against the charge as worse than useless; but
the order was repeated and he went know
Ipgy to his death. There is nothing too good
to say of Farnsworth. He of all men l ever
knew would be the last to seek his own glory at
the risk of lives of the men he loved, as they
also loved him."

The Fourth of July In Washington.

The Board of Managers of the Sons of the
American Revolution at its last meeting, re-
quested, on the motion Of Gen. Joseph Cabell
Breckenridge. that all patriotic citizens display
the American flag during the daytime and tri-
col0red lanterns at night on the coming Fourth
Of July.
1t is hoped the children in the public schools
and the Sunday schools and larger private
schools will also take up this pleasant custom
and make it q patriotic feature of Washington
life, as the Easter egg-roliing is one of the
pleasures Of our church festivals. All the chill
dren on Capitol Hill will assemble at their
churches or public school at 7:3O p II. July 4,
and march 20 the Capitol with lighted lanterns,
and those III the lower parts of the city will
march to Washnston's Monument; those liv-
ing west OF Fourteenth street going into the
White Lot by the War and Navy Department
aud those living east of Fourteenth marching
in by the Treasury building. and all start back
homo at $50 p. m. singing tho hymn America.
Ii the larger children will carry their lanterns
carefully on fshingpole it will make the
parade at Children's Hour still more beautiful.

Death of Father rrol1inper.

Rev. Father Mollinger, the famous priest and
physician, died near Pittsburg after undergo
ing an operation for rupture of the stomach.
Father Noliinger had been in feeble health fol
several months and his physicians ordered rest
and extreme quiet, but as st. AnthoHy's Day
drew near the aged priest disregarded these
warnings and administered the blessings. His
illness and death followed. He was net a faith
curer. His treatment was both spiritual and
cipher, and enjoined penaneo, faith and prayer.
Protestants were required to abstain from meat
On six successive Fridays.
The Church at Rome expressly forbid Father
Mollinger to use medicines, ordering him to
cure by faith and "holy relics" and under
pain of accommodation he was to refrain
from writing prescriptions for his patients.
But the good priest evidently knew his BUSH
ness better than the Pope, aud continued his
work for suffering humanity.

were going on thu tsot, were as straight as
| though an invisible iron rod was fastened ia
their backs, and the movements were perfect
-
The Emperor watched closely every regiment
of the &C, 600 soldiers who engaged in the re-
view, and took ptrt il it to the extent of
marching at the heed otsone of the regiments
during its manuvefs. The Empress vas with
him. and also the widowed Qucen of Holland,
who is paying visit to the Emperor here in
Berlin, and the occasion was one of the great
events of the year.
The Emperor hasa magnificent staff, and he
came to the field on horseback at the head of
it, and when he left It WIS on horseback, his
steed going ut dead gallop and his officers
pushing theirs in trying to keep up with him.
He takes great pride in lis army. and he
ing the uniform now and then Of those regi-
ments which do especially well and which
please him.
There is a great esprit du corps in the Ger
man army, and such actions of the Emperor
have great weight Yesterday he wore the
uniform Of the 18th regiment and marched at
the head Of it during the parade.
Perhaps the most beautiful uniform which I
saw upou this occasion was that of the Empe-
ror's Body Guard who wear silver eagles on the
men Of good hight. Several regiments wore
breast-plates of brass, which shone like gold
under the sun and made moving lines Of light
as they left us and marched under the sun
mile off on tho other side of the field.
Another brilliant sight was about 100 acres
of moving bayonets Of the brightest steel.
These were. of course, held by soldiers, but
they were SO compact that they moved as one
mass, and across the field they rose and fell
with the step Of the soldiers, producing an
effect Like the wind blowing over q vast field
of grain on the Western prairie or like the
waves Of the sea.
The whole review was wonderful in showing
what machines can be made of men by train
ing, and in future letter, after my return
here from Russia. viii tell you some queer
things as 20 how these men are trained, strange
FIXTURES of German army life, and just what
Germany can do in the next great European
war. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
