How She Became d Doctor.

My uncle left me sole heir of all his
property which the lawyer impatiently
explained would have been considerable
fortune had uncle ever demanded any
thing like fair return for his services.
AS it was, l decided to sell the little old
home and come to New York to study
medicine. Taking the advice of friends, l
put my small patrimony out at interest in
q mortgage, and then l went in for tho
October entrance examinations at wom-
ans medical college. AS / was Is years
of age, of good moral character, and could
get through any questions on arithmetic,
grammar, geography, photography, Ameri-
can history, English composition and the
elements of natural philosophy or physics,
l stood entitled to serious consideration.
1 found then, to my joy, that what dear
old uncle had taught me of Latin and
chemistry counted everything in my favor,
and in order to pass without n scar
studied up for the regular college exami-
nation and entered on my three years
course of study.
1t has been no child's play, l can tell
you. It's long and hard row to hoe, is
medicine, but l dare say l loved it from
the first, and according to Uncle Donald's S
wish 1 most earnestly interested myself in
tho ills of little children. Sometimes had

allowed myself $3.50 year to live upon,
and at the college, with everything includ-
ed, the cost was 5000 year That didn't
afford me any great margin, you can see,
for pleasures or fine gowns, and it was q
little hard for me when most of the stu
dents 1 knew had homes of their own in
which they were at small expense. But

aminations easily. .-Demorest's Magazine.

Uncle Sam Will Look After
Americans In Nicaragua.

Lack of federation Has Done Much To-
ward Keeping Up strife-Americans May
Have Been Unlawfully Arrested.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-The state de.
partment is watching the developments
Of the situation in Nicaragua with jealous
syes and firm determination that every
American citizen who has sneurred the
lll-will of the NicaraguaA government
shall receive exact Justice 4 cablegram
was received yesterday from United States
Consul Braida at Greytown stating that
the prisoners taken by the Nicaraguan
troops at Bluefields had arrived at Grey
town. Included in the number were two
American citizens, Wiltbank and Lamp
ton, and Mr.. Hatch, the British consular
agent at Bluefields.
The state department has been seeking
10 establish communication with United
States Minister Baker at Managua, but so
far without success, and it is feared that
he may be sick. 1t is the desire of the de-
partment to instruct Mr.. Baker to look
into the circumstances of the arrest of
these Americans and report promptly to
the department.
While all Americans in Bluefelds were
warned by our government to keep out OF
the squabble between Clarence and the
Nicaraguans under the penalties of Mica
raguan law, still there is no Disgusting the
fact that, so far as known here, the arrest
OF Wiltbank and hampton were
Made Under Ugly Conditions.
If the men have violated the local law
after due warning, the state department.
cannot consistently object to their punish
ment. But if the arrest was illegally or
improperly made, and Mr. Baker is ex-
pected to report upon this point, then the
department will promptly intervene in be-
half of the prisoners.
The whole incident was unfortunate,
coming as it did at a time when the United
States was putting forth its influence to-
wards the recognition of Nicaraguan SOW
ereignity over the Mosquito reservation,
and it is felt here that the Nicaraguans
would have done wisely in tempering their
victory over the Mosquitoes with toleraticn
for the foreign residents of the reservation
Should they lose the sympathy of the
United States through persecution OF our
citizens and arouse the ire of Great Britain
by unjust tire ment of her consular repre-
the situation would be so COM
plicated that an early and peaceful solu-
tion of the Mosquito question could hardly
be eyDected

Report of the Agricultural Bureau For
the Week Ending Aug. ~.


BOSTON, Aug 2s-Following is the
weather-crop bulletin for the week ending
Aug. 27, issued by the New England
weather service, in cooperation with the
Massachusetts, and Maine state boards OF
agriculture:
Mostly favorable conditions have pre-
vailed in Maine during the week, although
1t is getting dry, and the hot weather OF
the last of the week was injurious to pota-
toes. Potatoes are rusting badly in the
vicinity of Caribou, Aroostook county.
They are turning out we'll where being
dug in Washington, Kennebec, Penobscot
and Piscataquis counties. There are many
rotting in Kennebec county. Pumpkins
and squashes will not be abundant. Ap-
piles are growing well, though many have
fallen from the trees in central counties.
The drought continues to serious extent
b. New Hampshire, and all crops are suf-
fering very much Some report that not
for years have the springs been so low as
now. Corn is doing very well, except on
dry land; late planted, for fodder, is not
growing well. Feed is very poor in pas
lures, and there the moved fields have
started very little
has prevailed in Vermont Crops are suf-
fering in most sections for want of rain,
pastures are getting dry and streams low
ering rapidly. No damage of any amount
Is reported from the frost of the 22nd in
this state. The sunshine is coloring up
the apples well, and much grain is being
harvested in northern counties with the
fine weather.
1t has been fine week in Massachusetts,
for work, and crops are maturing well,
though it is so dry in places that they are
ripening too fast, and much fruit is drop
ping. 1t is dry throughout the state, but
there are local sections where the showers
seem to have passed by thai give very dis
couraging reports, indeed.
Although wells and springs continue
very low in Connecticut, and all crops
would make better growth with more rain
fall, yet the moderate showers on the Goth
and the heavy dews that have deposited ON
nearly every night during the week, have
served to keep most crops growing we'll
and to partly revive pastures and moved
fields.
Showers came the first part of the week
In places in Rhode Island, doing great
good, but in other sections, sometimes in
the same town, no raiE fell. Malls and
streams continue very low, some farmers
In Providence county hauling water a long
distance to the wells. Cattle have to be
fed at the barn, and even then a great
of milk is reported. Fruit of
nearly all kinds promises to yield full
crop in Washington county. No damage
of any account is reported from the frost
of the 22nd.

NEW TARIFF BILL
Becomes Law Without the
Presidents Signature.

The Mckinley Bill Is Thus Wiped From
the Statute Books-Brief History of the
New Bi1Ps Inception and Progress.
| WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-At 10 o'clock
last night the Mckinley tariff law, which
had been in operation since Oct. 30, 1890,
practically four years, died on the statute
books, and the new Democratic tariff bill,
passed by the Fifty third congress, became
q law without the signature of President
Cleveland.
The constitutional period of 10 days al
lowed the president to consider the bill
expired with the midnight hour, and ac-
cording to the terms Of the constitution,
the president having failed to return the
bill to congress with or without his ap-
proval, 1t became law.
The placing of the bill on the statute
books ended one of the longest and most
remarkable struggles in the history of the
government. 1t was practically year ago
that the preparation of the new tariff law
was commenced The extraordinary ses-
| sion of congress was called Aug. z, 1893,
for the purpose of repeating the Sherman
| silver purchasing law.
committee of the house, with Mr. Wilson
| of West Virginia as chairman, was ap-
pointed, and almost Immediately the work
OF framing the Democratic tariff reform
measure began. Months were spent in it's
preparation, and it was not reported until
after the holidays during the regular
session beginning in December.
For three weeks 1t was debated In the
house, passing that body on Jan. 90 by
vote of 204 to 40 Seventeen house Demo
Gratis voted against it. The bill went to
the senate, after being considered until
March 20, and was reported, greatly
changed from the house bill. The debate
which began in the senate April 2, lasted
until July 3, when the bill passed by
vote of 30 to 34
The crisis occurred when the bill reached
conference. On Aug. 13 the house yielded
and accepted the senate bill in toto In
five days afterwards it went to the presi-
dent, and at the expiration of the constitu-
tional 10 days (Sunday is not counted)
IL. b,,t9ne a law without Mr.. Cleveland's
signiisure.
CleveIands Comment.
President Cleveland wrote a letter to
Congressman Catchings explaining why
he could not endorse the tariff bill.
He says he is disappointed at the
treachery of pretended reformers and
the success of trust plotters, but holds that
the new tariff is a barrier against mad pro-
lection and vantage ground for further
reform
