Amiok indicated Everywhere.

ST. LOUIS, March 12.-Judgment was rem
dered yesterday in favor of DR.. Amick, OF
Cincinnati, against the St. Louis Clinique.
This medical journal questioned the merits
of his treatment for consumption which
many physicians here say is the only cure
for this disease. Amick keeps his formula
to himself and sends free, medicines prov;
ing to the consumptive he can be cured. All
this is against the medical code, hence the
attack and vlndication.

The Boom in Wild Beasts.

There is a sudden and unpre-
CeGented increase in the demand for
wild animals at present, not only for
the Contin mt. but for the United
States. The stocks in most of the
European geological gardens have de-
creased Of late, a shrinkage partly
caused 10y the closure Of the Soudan
by the dervisheS.
III America the popularity of the
great menagerie at the Worlds Fair
has created a sudden demand for
wild animals OF all kinds. Circuses
and private meageries are competing
with the geological gardens and
scientific socletiestfOr rare and inter
esting animals. and the demand for
America is far greater than for the
Continent Of Europe.
After tive or SIX years of neglect
there is such a boom in the wild.
beast trade as i hardly remembered.

AT the Methodist conference in
New York. Rev. Julius Nelson. Of
RoXbury. Conn, was a candidate for
confirmation as elder. The point was
raised against him that he was in

and reported that Mr.. Nelson re-
ceivfd a salary Of $500 a year. and
his parish included three churches
widely separated, 50 that be had to
keep a horse t. drive from fourteen
to thirty-cight miles every sunday.
