The Famous Thy sscian to Visit This
SecIiOn-sais miraculous skill as
Described by Professor Argyle-A
Physician who seems to Possess a
Power Over Disease, Beyond Human
comprehension.
Dr. R. G. Flower, the famous Boston
specialist, whose treatment and miraou-
lous cures have excited the country as
nothing else in the medical line has ever
before done. is to visit this section pro
fessionally in few days, and will be at
the following places on the dates given:
New Haven, New Haven house, Monday,
March 81; Danbury, Turner house, Tues
day. March 20; Hartford, Allen house,

house, Thursday, March 80; Greenfield,
Mansion house, Friday and Saturday,
March 81 and April /, and will also on the
week following be at the Bay State house,
Worcester, Friday, April z.
DIR. Flower has attained such eminence
in his profession in the treatment of
chronic diseases that he is regarded as the
highest authority in his specialties.
While DR.. f over treats all chronic dis
eases and possesses every facility that
money and experience can give him in the
treatment of such diseases, his specialties
are cancer, consumption, tumors, paraly-
sis, nerve and heart troubles. In the treat
ment of these he has no superior in the
world. 1t was of him that Professor Ar
gyle said:
cdr. Flower possesses the faculty of
pleasing and inspiring his patients in a
wonderful manner. I have seen scores of
people consult him, who at deaths door
with some terrible disease were in despair
awaiting the end, come from his presence
full of hope and joy and in every way feel
ing better, and who permanently improve
after that hour. What he does to these
dying sufferers I cannot tell you-he
charms them and cures them in q mirscu-
lous way"
In recent article regarding DR.. Flow
er's practice, the Albany Journal said:
"The facts as presented warrant the be-
lief that there is no good reason for the Ill
to suffer, or the sick to die as they do, for
DR.. r. Q. Flower with his skil1 and his
methods aud means has demonstrated and
is demonstrating that these varied and ter
rible chronic diseases when given up as in
durable by ordinary PRACTICE are by his
methods successfully treated and CURED. "
DR.. Flowers visit to the above places
will afford the sick excellent opportunity
to consult this eminent authority close to
their homes.

Mister Printer:--I leave with you one
version Of the origin of the old tune,
yankee Doodle" taken from "Wstson's
Annals Of Philadelphia, published nearly
half century ago, and now quite rare
book, and also the American song. A
British burlesque on 1t may perhaps come
later:
sYankee Doodle. This tune, SO cele-
brated as q national air of the revolution,
has IN origin almost unknown to the mass
of the people in the present day. An aged
and respectable lady, born in New Eng
land, told me she remembered It well, long
before the revolution, under another name.
It was then universally called "Lydis
Fisher" and was a favorite New England
jig. It was then the practice with it, IS
with Yankee Doodle now, to sing 1t with
various impromptu versss-such as
Lydia Lockst lost her pocket,
Lydia Fisher found it.:
Not bit of money in II,
Only binding round it"
The British, preceding the war, when
disposed to ridicule the simplicity of
Yankee manners and hilsrity, were aocus-
toned to sing airs or songs set to words.
invented for the passing occasion, having
for their object to satirizs and sneer at the
New Euglanders. This, as believe, they
called Yankee Doodle, by way Of reprosch,
and as elur upon their fsvorite Lydia
Fisher" It is remembered that the
English officers among Us, acting under
civil and military appointments, often felt
lordly over us as colonists, and by counte-
nsncing such slurs, they sometimes
expressed their supsrcilousness. When

land, the entire distance counting to nearly
eighty miles. This feat was accomplished
two years ago by w. J. III. Muller. of
Haariem, in thirteen hours. of which
nearly two were occupied in resting and
eating. 1t is said that so far no English
man or American has succeeded in accom-
plishing this feat. A number of English
skating enthusiasts, however, visit Hol-
land regularly In the season and make
long excursions over the bitches and Ca
mails to their own great delight. Mr.. Teb-
butt, accompanied by the late Baron de
Sails. Neville Goodman. whose recent
death was universally regretted, and sew
eral other friends, including his sister, tells
of delightful trip they made from Am
sterdam To Leyden.
"As We started from Amsterdam" he
writes, "a strong wind was blowing be-
hind us, and We sped along at lively
pace TO Halfweg, some six miles In twenty
three minutes. After this the ice i'm
proved and We fairly flew without a check
TO Haarlem, racing everyone; the young
lady and her brother arrived first, having
covered the four and one-half miles in
fourteen minutes, or at the rate OF three
minutes seven seconds per mile"

account OF the sharpness of the turn. The
Engishmen who competed, including
George Smart and Tebbu,t, were easily
defeated by the Dutchmen. possibly for
the same reason. The Russian skater, A.
Won Panschin. however in the tourna-
ment ct Amsterdam, got the best Of all
competitors By applying a sort of step over
step action at The turn, which carried him
TO the front rapidly and was seen to be a
decided advantage. Hugh Mccormick
has also got wonderful knack at skating
round sharp curves at a high rate OF speed.
This matter of getting around short
turns only illustrates the fact that there
are many tricks III fast skating as in other
things. One of these is the get OFF, at
the start. and IN this the Dutch have
shown themselves unexcelled. 1t is won
derful to see them dash off in their It's
yard races. They seem to get up terrific
speed IN an instant, striking back vio-
ientiy at the end OF each stroke and not
trusting too much to the forward impetus
to get hold on the ice. Some skaters dig
hole in the ice for the heel of the blade,
but experts think this OF little value. The
Fenmen OF England get off in a leisurely,
phlegmatic way, as If they took but an in
different interest in the proceedings.
Later II the race. however. they show the
stuff they are made of, and the excited,
quick-moving Holianders see their heels
in the distance long before the mile post
Another point which must be taken into
consideration in ranking the great skaters
OF the world is the climate of the conn
tries in which they live. the severity of the
winters and the condition and duration of
good ice. In this respect Holland is GER
tainiy the paradise OF skaters. Other
countries have equally severe winters, as
is the case In Norway and Canada, but no
where in the world is there such perfect
system of clearing away the snow from
the ice as exists in Holland. There it Is
matter OF national Importance 10 keep the
highways OF traffic open between the
towns, and as everyone knows these high
ways are the Dutch canals. In England
slight thaw will spoil the skating for
weeks, causing the rivers to rise and half
melting the snow in some places or leav-
ing water several inches deep in others.
This never happens in Holland, where
the waterways are on dead level and the
siuice gates OF the canal once closed any
change of level is impossible. The conse-
quence is that in Holland the whole popu-
lation skates and skates well. Even the
women have their races and are often
faster than the men. Strangers who pride
themselves on their speed will do well to
avoid Boosting of their prowess before the
young ladies of Amsterdam. There are
cases on record where they have bitterly
regretted so doing.
One of the favorite feats of fast skating
practiced in Holland Is TO visit by the ca

day won the five mile race from nine ex-
perienced skaters. Since then he has won
races and medals beyond counting. and
the best men from the famous skating
countries of the world have been pitted
against him vainiy.
One Of Donoghue's strong points is his
unhinching nerve and GOODNESS. This was
well illustrated in his first trip to Europe
in the winter of 1850. He went to Hol-
land expecting to have long period for
training before the tournament in which
he was TO take part. Unfortunately it
was an open season and Joe had only four
days of good ice in which to prepare him.
self. His chief opponent, Alexander Won
Panschin. of St. Petersburg. had on the
other hand been in steady training for
three months and arrived at Amsterdam
in perfect condition. In the first race of
half mile Donoghue struck post and
fell; he also was beaten by the Russian In
the mile event. This was surely discour-
aging enough as commencement. but
those who were present say that Joe was
as 'cooI as q cucumber" and did not
seem in the least degree ratified" When
they Were called for the two-mile race he
turned to friend and said smiling:
eff | don't win this time, the Old man
will be sending for me to come home"
Then the word was given and the dozen
skaters were Oft amid roars of applause.
Twelve thousand people waved their
hands and shouted as they passed the
halfway mark side by side, Joe swinging
along with even steady stroke, his legs
moving with the precision OF piston rods,
and the Russian beside him, with arms
swinging and face drawn as if he were un-
able TO realize that the youngster at his
side was actually gaining on him. Won
Panschin appeared to be straining every
nerve and muscle, while Joe. with his
arms folded behind his back, might have
been out for pleasure stroll for any effort
he seemed to make. Down the home
stretch they came, and Joe drew away
from his famous rival inch by inch, until
there was distance of two yards between
them. Joe never lost his lead, and won
by seconds, making the fastest time on
record, 8 minutes and "a seconds.
Later in the same season Donoghue was
beaten at Vienna by the Russian in a mile
race, coming in one-iIfth OF a second be-
hind, and a once challenged Won Panschin
to race him two miles. The latter refused,
whereupon Joe, in the presence of great
crowd and boundiess enthusiasm, skated
two miles against the Russians best time,
which was minutes and Al seconds, and
beat II IN b minutes % 3-5 seconds, receiv-
ing grand ovation and q valuable dia-
mond ring from the Vienna Skating Club.
In the following winter Joe went over
to England and. won the international
amateur skating race of q miles at Lin
