The patient was Mrs. Brush, the
wife of Albert j. Brush, clerk Vt

This is probably the largest tumor
that has ever been removed from a

also one OF the quickest on recora, as

TORTURED ny ROBBERS.
Horrible Treatment of u Mother and Her

Horrible Treatment of u Mother and Her
baby at Fiudleyvllle, Pa.
The four masked robbers who have
been operating in and around Findley-
vile, on the Baltimore s. Ohio rail
road in Washington county, Pa, for
the past two years. turned up in that
neighborhood again recently aud
added another atrocious outrage to
their already long list of crimes.
They went to the residence ofJ. c.
McClelland, a wealthy farmer residing
one mile from Findleyville station,
during tie absence of all members
of the household except Mrs. William
Kerr, McClelland's married daughter,
and eighteen-months-old baby. Mr..
McClelland had gone to Washington,
Pa, to deposit $1,000 in the bank.
This the robbers were after, and after
terrorizing Mrs. Kerr and the child,
began ransacking the house. The
baby cried, and one of the men
grabbed it by the throat, choking it.
The mother flew at the fellow, who
dealt her blow with his fist. knock
ing her to the floor. She was tren
bound and gag forced into her
mouth and she was thrown upon Il
bed while one of the gang stood over
her with drawn revolver. Finally
after an hours search, foiled in their
attempt to find the money, they
returned to where the helpless wcman
lay, and demanded that Mrs. Kerr
tell where the money was sccrcted.
This she was unable to do. Roughly
loosening her nair they cut it from
her head. Then one of the men took
the baby from the room. Soon the
mother heard the baby's screams and
was told that her child was being
killed by inches and the only way to
save its life was to disclose the hid
ing place of the money. The frantic
mother tugged at her bonds until the
cruel strands cut into the flesh and
blood gushed under her finger nails.
This continued until the men ran
from the house. Mrs. Kerr's
struggles loosened her bonds. Grasp
ing her child in her arms she ran to
neighbours house and fell in a faint at
the door. When consciousness was
restored she told her story, and
posse of friends organized to hunt the
robbers. So far no trace of the men
has been discovered. An examina-
tion of the child's body shows where
the tender flesl, had been pinched and
jagged with pins to make it scream

1T is gradually becoming recognized
that even consumption may often be
cured. But the best way to treat it
is i'm the special hospitals now
provided for it. In the progress of
medical science it has become
recognized. too. that consumption is
contagious disease. communicable
through germs in the air and in food.
In the special hospitals for con-
sumptivcs repeated cures and
apparently permanent ones have
been made. When it is remembered
that more people are carried out of
life by this disease than by any other,
the fact Jhat those on whom it
fastens are now frequently cured
sheds a ray of brightness upon the
dark cloud OF hopelcssncss which
usually attends this ailment to the

THE AMBASSADORS CUNNING.
He Saved Himself from Death by Mean
of u New Trick.

Ot new 1EIcks
An Ambassador, whom the
Emperor Cnarlemagneo once sent to an
eastern monarch. while sitting ut the
table of the latter, quite thought
lessly moved a dish that was near
him.
1t happened that the King had
issued an edict that if Il guest
touched a dish before himself was
served, he should be put to death.
Therefore, most naturally, every eye
was turned toward the enemy, and
some of the courticrs proclaimed his
offcnse and loudly demanded his.
immediate punishment.
The monarch was in Il dilemma.
On the one hand, he dreaded to
excite the displeasure of so mighty
a ruler as Charlcmagne by putting
his representative to death; on the
other lie was unwilling that his
subjects should find him remiss in
the execution of any law which he
had promulgated. OF the two
alternatives the latter seemed to him
the worse; SO he acquainted the
ambassador with the law of the land
and told him he must die.
IL sinned ignorantly," said the
Frank, "but ignorance of the laws is
no excuse for it's violation. Your
decree must be carried out to the
very letter, and am the last who
would wish you to relax from your
rigor in my behalf. only implore
your highness to grant me a single
favor before / die.''
"It is not my desire, but the law,
that renders thy death necessary"
replied the monarch. sand promise
to grant whatsoever you askcst. MY
word is fate.''
81 only ask remarked the
ambassador, looking around with
grim smile, THAT the eyes of all who
saw me touch the dish be placed in
my hand"
Hearing this, the ceurtiers gaze6i
upun one another with fear and
trembling. Even the King himself
was dismayed. But the promise had
been given, and the singular request
must be complied with. Sob said:
sit shall be DONE"
On inquiry. however, not one was,
to be found among the counters, nor
among the servants, who was willing
to acknowledge that he had wit
messed the act: and the King CON
fessed that he had not seen it.
"If no one saw me commit the deed
there is no evidence to prove me
guilty." observed the ambassador:
"and certainly there can be no reason
why should suffer dcath.n
"Thou sayest wisely" returned the
monarch, who was SO delighted at
the ambassadors cunning that he
pardoned him.
