She went to Lourdes as pilgrim, having been given up as an incurable victim of peritonitis by many skilled physicians.
 She returned apparently cured of her malady. Dr. Des Jardines described the scene at Lourdes. He said Mime. Bourque was taken to the shrine at Notre Dame De Lourdes, August 2lst, and I stood watching her in the midst of over 10000 pilgrims.
 "As the great procession moved up the aisle, heard reverend father call out: All you who have faith follow the master.' Instantly, as if by magic, paralytics, weak and maimed, rose up and followed. With my own eyes I watched fifteen formerly helpless pill grins rise with a shout of triumph and march in the procession.

steward Hackett of the Insane Asy-
 Ium Rescued From Death.
 Yesterday morning by invitation of Stew ard Hackett of the insane asylum Director Richmond and Capt. George of the asylum board visited the institution bent upon few hours pleasure in fish ing by means of a sem. The lake at the asylum being filled with fine carp and other fish makes this very de- sirable place for thoseIof piscatorial pro- clivities. Everything being in readi- ness the parties were at the lake side ready for the sport. Some prelimaries being adjusted and directions being given bv Mir. Hackett as to the proper way to ensnare the inny tribe opera tions began.
 Two trusty patients and some em- ploves performed the subordinate duties of driving and keeping up the bob line: A royal, good time was shortly turned to serious and almost fatal wind-up. As the men were about to make haul it was discovered that Mir. Hackett was acting strangely and in suppressed tone calling for help. Instantly, as ii directed by Providence, one of the pa tients, who is noted for contrarlness and absolutely devoid of noticing his sur roundings under ordinary circum- stances. heard Mir. Hackett calling for help and rushed to his assistance, reaching him just as he came up. Fred Sharp, the dairyman, being one of the fishing party. also reached him about the same time, Owing to his extraordinary height of 61a feet, he was able to tread upon the ground giving him chance to assist MT. Hackett, who weighs something over 200 pounds to the shore. After nasty examina- tion by Dr. Hamblin and the proper restoratives were administered. Mir. Racket soon resumed normal con- dition and WAS able to go to his room. Though very much exhausted and fatigued it is thought that no serious results will follow from the experience. The asylum attaches and the gentle men composing the party congratulated themselves and MT. Hackett that a 1 fatality was averted.
 A pathetic feature of the incident was the wild expression of grief and anxiety by one to whom MT. Hackett is ] near and dear.
