The Presidents Health.

1t is fact that physician or an
army surgeon is in almost constant
attendance upon the president. 1t is
denied that he is ill, and he certainly
looks we'll. But those IN his i'm
mediate surrounding have recently
admitted that not many weeks ago
he had an attack of rheumatism in
the chest which threatened the heart,
from the fatal effect of which it is
said that DR.. O'Reilly only saved his
life with great difficulty.
1t may not be necessary that a
physician should be in constant at,
tendance upon the president, but it
is known that he is very apprehen.
sive as to his own condition, and that
he prefers that DIR. O'Reilly or DR..
Bryant shall be near him. 1t is a
fact that the president does not go
on journey. however short, unless
DR.. O'Reilly is of the party.
Even on the short fishing trips
there is generally a person in the
party who is described as unknown
or stranger, who it is afterward
discovered was DR.. O'Reilly. This
army surgeon is not only an excellent
physician, but he is said to have a
rare skill as massage operator. This
is restful process to which the pre-
sident is much addicted when fati-
gued or worried.
1t is because the president desires
to build up his health as much as he
can that it is announced that he does
not expect to return to Washington
until October, and that he will de-
vote time to farming as well as tc
fishing. The Gray Gables estate, II
is said, is to be the presidents per
manent home, and for that purpose
he is converting it into farm as vel
as mere summer place.-Washing

Another Steamship, to Cost 100000,
to Be Built at Newport News.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, June 80
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company has secured an.
other big contract. IL is for the con-
struction of $500, 600 steel passenger
and freight steamship for the Crom-
well Line. the vessels of which ply
between New York and New Orleans.
The steamer is to be 375 feet long, A
feet beam and SO feet deep, with
triple expansion engines of $500
horse power and all modern improve
ments. There will be accommoda-
tions for $50 steerage and "a cabin
passengers. Her speed will be not
less than fifteen knots an hour. The
vessel will be ready for delivery in
eight months, or at about the same
time the big Plant Line steamer is to
be completed. AS soon as a good
start is made on the two vessels, the
total cost OF which will be more than
81, OO0, 600, five or six hundred men
will be added to the force now at
work at the plant. The ship-yard
has more work at present than al
any time since its establishment.

The conclusion is inevitable from
facts submitted elsewhere, that a
Marylander enjoys the unique dis
tinction, of a dealer in Virginia IL
censes. and an oyster Inspector of
Virginia seems to have been the in
Strument through whom he has oper-
ated in plying his trade. The Vir-
ginia official may be able to explain
how John Cox has secured through
him licenses for forty nonresident
tongmen or more, and he ought to be
permitted to do so, but, in giving his
explanation, he ought to be required
also to state, whether Geo. Sterling
and the other forty tongmen applied
for registration and license TO take
oysters with ordinary oyster tongs
and made oath before him, as the law
requires, of being resident of the
State, etc. Sterling says that he did
not, but that Cox secured the license
for himself and all of the other Mary
landers, and if his statement be true,
then the Inspector of Gloucester
county has either ignorantly or fraud
-ulently exceeded his authority. Il
the application and oath necessary
to secure license can be made
through another person and Coz
made them for Sterling and others
then Cox has either perjured himself
or the inspector has not administered
the oath as the law requires. View
ing the question as we may,whatevel
the means by which Cox has beer
invested with the power of peddlins
Virginia licenses, an investigation
seems necessary and Capt. Costin de
serves the thanks of the Common
wealth for his vigilance as an officer
in exposing the fraud, and thereby
preventing, it is to be hoped, the
wholesale depreciation upon orr oys
ter beds which seem to have beer
intended.

The Richmond DISPATCH.

The Richmond Dispatch, which
reached us on Wednesday, was print
ed on one of the most perfect of Hoes
web perfecting presses, the only thing
lacking in that Office, it seems. to en-
able it to keep step with the great pa
pers of the country. 1t has long been
regarded by many as the leading pa
per in Virginia, and the improve
ments, which are being constantly
made in the Office and i'll the matter
and makeup of the paper, prove that
its proprietors do not propose for it
ever to be disappointing to its friends.
It's clean and model newspaper
and can always be relied on to up
hold and advocate at all times what
is best for the interests of Virginia.
The present indications of its pros
perity will be gratifying to the local
press of the State generally.

A Draft for One Cent for the President

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Probably
the smallest warrant in amount ever
issued by the government was drawn
yesterday. 1t was for one cent, and
was made payable to Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States.
1t appears that in calculating the
the amount due the. President each
month there has been an under pay.
ment of one cent, which could be
rectified and the treasury books kept
straight only by drawing a warrant
for that amount in the Presidents
favor.

Why Physician Use an "R.,'

discover why physicians begin their
prescriptions with the letter -
We'll, she found out, but it took time
and caused her some trouble. 1t
seems that during the middle ages,
when astrology was in fashion, a
character very much like our "R"
was the sign of Jupiter, the preserver
of health. The physicians, being
then equally devoted to the science
of medicine and astrology. invaria
bly, began their prescriptions with
the following words: I'm the name
of Jupiter take the following doses
in the order set down hereinafter.
In the course of time this formula
was abbreviated, until present only
the letter "R" remains to teach US
that the medical art was once asso-
ciated with the science of the stars
