An ignorant old farmer in the
rough regions ofWest Virginia owned
farm which was so poor, to use a
classic expression, that you couldn't
raise an umbrella on it, when all at
once some enterprising people from
the outside world struck great vein
OF coal on it and the old fellow was
a rich man for that country in no
time. The outsiders could not get
hold OF the farm, so they proposed to
compromise by organizing a syndi-
cate, with the old man as one OF the
heaviest owners in it.
"But how air you goin' to get at
it?" he asked with puzzled air.
EASY enough" they said; .we'll

had run into great Joke.

AMERICAN SKILL RECOGNIZED.

New YORK, Sept. 1s,-A London
dispatch says: Among the subjects
which were scheduled for considera-
ton at the international medical con-
gress called 10 assemble in Rome next
month, but the indefinite postpone
ment of which has Just been an
nounced, was the treatment of ths
cure of consumption discovered by
DR.. Amick of the United States,
which is attracting great attention
among the medical fraternity of Eng.
land and continental countries. In
It's current issue leading medical
journal says that as a result of the
postponement of the congress a party
of prominent physicians of England,
France and Germany will leave for
the United States the last week of Sep.
TENDER, and after a brief visit to the
Worlds Fair, will proceed to Cincin-
natti for the purpose of personally in
terviewing the discoverer. Some of
the English physicians concerned,
and who, like the majority of their
profession, are inclined to regard any
new discovery hailing from the Unit
ed States as open to suspicion of
quackery, some months ago induced
one of the largest wholesale drug
houses in the metropolis to enter into
correspondence with DR.. Amick with
the alleged view of becoming the
British agents for his medicines
Their guns were spiked, however, by
the receipt last week of a letter to the
effect that he correspondent only with
registered practicing physicians and
that his discovery could not be put on
the market for indiscriminate sale.
At a meeting Of the Paris clinic of
physicians last week one'of the speak
ers coupled Amicks name with
Pasteur's as benefactor of the hui
man race, and paid high tribute to
the medical profession in the United

lank languidity were thought to be his main
stock in trade; but of late 1t has been found
that Oscar Wilde is man of affairs and with
much more than an average allowance of
brains. Lady Wlndermere's FAM led TO tbs
discovery, and subsequent literary work on his
part confirmed it. The play named was pro.
duced in London on February 20 of the present
year ana was instantly accepted by both press
and public as we'll IN America as in England.
The piece is purely a society play of the ultra
type. and some sixteen characters make up the
dramatis persona. The principals in the list
are Lady Windermere. Mrs. Erlynne and Lord
Darlington. Nearly all the male characters
have a cynical tlnge. The motive OF the play
is In brief that Lord Windermere's conduct

after a ball at her house. leaving a note for her
husband. Mrs Erlynne finds and reads the
note and follows her TO her retreat. Hearing
men coming, they hide. The men find Lady
Windermere's fan. Windermere Is enraged
