hitting as a member of that BODY Mrs.
Catherine Chinault Runpon. OF Kich-

profession should be guided by this de-
cson. and not allow women to practice
medicine I'm this State.
DR.. II. +. Ellis alone approved OF the

Crop of Summer Romance VIII BE
Very Fair.
New York, June ia special to the
World from Montgomery, Ala, says:
a letter from San Francisco. addressed
to Mrs. 7. NJ. Allen, Admission, Ala"
who has long BEEN dead, brings to
light a remarkable story.
Calhoun county farmer, went west to
better his condition, leaving his wife
and four children at home. He finally
settled in San Francisco. For two
years his wife heard regularly from
him and his letters said he was pros
pering and intended to remove his
family there. Suddenly the letters
ceased. His wife wrote to San Fran
cisco authorities and received word
that her husband had been murdered
and robbed. The letter just received
states that Allen is not dead, but that
he was assaulted by robbers some
eighteen years ago and so seriously in
jured about the head that he lost his
reason, since which time he has been
confined in hospital. Recently his
condition has materially improved,
and now he has almost recovered and
the letter is written at his instance.
1t appears, also, that just before his
he purchased several acres
of land near San Francisco and that
since then the land has been taken in
by the city and now contains several
blocks of handsome store buildings,
valued at 100000 Allen has three
children living, Mrs. T. Acton and Mrs.
/. NJ. Garrett, of Admission, and H.
Allen, in Florida.
