Whipping as a Cure.

BERLIN, May t4.-A trial that has
croated intense interest in medical
circles has Just been concluded Mt Cas-
sci, capital of Hesse Nassau. DR.. Wei
derhold, director of the hospital for
nervous diseases at that place, WAS
charged with maltreating patient, the
wife of Consul General Zachmann. The
doctor admitted that he had boxed Mrs.
Zachmann's ears, beat her with stick
and whipped her because she screamed
and fnoaned as though she was suffer-
ing great pain. The punishment he in
filcted upon her, he contended, was the
best treatment for hysteria and every
thing he had done was for her benefit.
Much evidence was given for and against
this course Of treatment for nervous
disease, but the court decided that the
accused was guilty of maltreatment and
sentenced him to three months inpris-
onlnant

Gcrmany's Military Scandal.

BERLIN, May 14.-The head of the
firm of Loewe g. Co., which, it was
charged by Rector Ahlwardt, had fur
nished defective rifles to the army, and
Colonel Kueln, manager of the factory
where the arms were made, began the
prosecution of Herr Ahlwardt yesterday.
The Liberal newspapers say they trust
the action will dispose of the charge
against Loewe & Co. and allay the ex-
citement, which, it is feared, will other
wise lead to an anti-Jewish movement.
A great impression has been created by
the resignation of an officer named
Forster, who was attached to the army
reserve, who declared that he would
sooner resign than to lead into action
soldiers armed with rifles made by Jews.

THH FAIRPAULT SYSTEM.
Not to Serve as a Precedent for Other
Provinces.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 14.-Accord-
ing to information just received from
Rome, the commission of cardinals gave
the following decision, April 90, on the
Fairbault system, which, however, still
awaits the approval of the holy father:
"The so called 'Faribault system as a
system is condemed and prohibited in
practice except as regards the two par
ishes of Faribault and Saltwater, view
ing the present conditions and contin-
gencies, un fait accompli 'TolerHi
Posse but only for those two cases
not to be extended to another parish in
the limits of the arch diocese of st.
Paul; not to serve as precedent to any
other province or bishopric throughout
the United States. Furthermore, the
'Tolerari Posse in the two cases above
named are accompanied with such con-
ditions relative to the text books, the
teachers, the surveillance of the parish
priest, etc, as are calculated to secure
the faith of the children.
Finally, a circular will be addressed
to all the metropolitans calling them
and their respective suffragans to the
observance of the DEGREES of the third
plenary council of Baltimore, the in
struction of the propaganda of 1875 and
the conditions to be set forth in the
document tol be made public later, in re
the present question"
The attention of Monsignor Zeininger
was called to this information, and he
said it was absolutely correct in every
respect.

to gardening. and for a long time the
