The Catron Bill Is a Law.

Washington, Feb. s. = The Catron
bill to prevent prize-fghting in the
District of Columbia and territories
was signed by the president about 4:35
D. m. Friday and became a law. The
bill did not reach the white house Until
four O'clock or afterward, and in it's case
the usual routine was departed from
and the measure taken at once to Mr..
Cleveland, who, after examining its
provisions, promptly attached his sig
nature, so that from the date of sigma
ture prize fighting is felony on all
soil over which the federal government
has exclusive jurisdiction. Prompt
measures will be taken to see that it is
not violated.

Skill and Experience Only.

All these marvellous and amazing feats
were the results of the skill and expert
ence in the arts of medicine and surgery
of which Abbo is accomplished. The re-
suits obtained by him WERE however, so
far beyond and superior to those of any
other physician that his astonishing and
striking cures were more than the public
could understand and gave rise to the
amazement, surprise, admiration and as
constituent that is attached to Abbo and
his Medical Institute.
His cures have been scattered in every
portion of the city, and have been the
theme of after-dinner dialogues in the
best houses in this city, and the most
interesting questions discussed in the
clubs and social meetings. Go where you
would, whether in the precincts of Yama-
craw, the districts of the Old Fort, the
limits of Currytown, Robertsville or
Brownsville, or In the confines occupied
by the elite, the arlstocratic and the
wealthy, the name of Abbo would be
heard, while the tales of his almost
miraculous doings were being told and
and listened to with interest and surprise.
His remarkable and truly wonderful
work still goes on. Interest in the doctor
is increasing and he is gathering the re-
ward to which his experiences and energy
in the alienation of human suffering en-
titles him. The election of the next Pres
ident of the United States, the question
of the prohibition element securing state
control the warning of the local political
factions for the control of the municipal
ity will all tend to stimulate the public
pulse and keep alive the spirit of discus
sion, but these matters all fade
into insignificance beside the Juror
caused by Abbo and his WORK,
and when those political and other
matters will have been settled and the
nal ~ lot AL ~
will be discussed in the homes, in the
streets, and the social gatherings.
