especially in memory and pleasing
manner of delivery. To Miss Pear
Davidson, charming little lady
who has only been among us fol
a few months, was given the first

satisfaction, showing very plainly
that Miss Pearl is already a great
favorite. Miss Pearl Eastman al

prevailed. There were also some
very enjoyable vocal selections

CONCESSION BY PERU.
Action Taken Looking to ReEistra-
ton of Protestant MARRIAGES.

LIMA, Peru, Feb. 28.-The government has
ordered the prepare ton of a resolution which
will be submitted to Congress, providing for
the registration of Protestant marriages.
The above is the result of lengthy diplo-
matte action in which the United States gov
ernmenu and the government of Great Brit
ain have taken part. The Rev. Mr.. Wood,
head of the missions in Peru. some Of whose
missionaries belong to the East London In
stitute and others to the American Bible
Society, has had trouble with Peruvian Of
ficials for a long time past. The expulsion
of some of his missionaries from Cuzco
brought about an exchange of notes on the
subject between Great Britain and Peru and
the refusal Of registration of the marriage
of Miss Wood with Mr.. Hazeltine was the
basis of diplomatic action on the part of
the United States The missionary question
involved and the marriage question thus
brought TO the front are regarded as being
of great Importance by all the Protestants
in Peru, and 1t has been indicated for some
a change in the Peruvian constitution. But
the government appears willing 10 meet the
issue in friendly spirit, as indicated by it's
preparation of the resolution previously re-
ferred to. Mr.. Wood at one time went
among the savageS In Perene, In the prime
of his life, and for long time considerable
anxiety was felt for his return, especially
threats against the missionary. Steps to as
certain his whereabout and provide for his
safety were eventually taken at the instance
of the United States and Great Britain.

ruptured a muscle that has held her spine
curved inward since her birth. After lying
in bed twenty-four hours she got up with

Mrs Haslem is the daughter of House
Sergeant Read, of the, .Twenty-second dis
trct police station. He says mis- daughter
was born with a very bad curvature of the
spine for which she was treated at the JEFF
ferson Hospital when a girl. Mechanical
means were unsuccessfully tried to overcome
womanhood she was compelled to wear a
thick pad in the hollow of the back to give
ner a more symmetrical appearance. The
curvature also caused her to have a some
what awkward gait. Otherwise enc was not
much Inconvenience bv IL.
Last Wednesday evening Mrs. Haslem
leaned down TO fasten her boot, task that
seemed to be more than ordinarily difficult
While her body was bent, to quote her own
words, she felt scmetning snap near her

was unable TO raise herself again and she
enough TO go down stairs, which she did
without assistance. To ner surprise her de-
formity mad disappeared and her dresses
were several inches too short for her. At
forwards IL was found that the straghten-
ing up process had increased her stature
by exactly three inches.
Tne case has excited great interest among
medical men. Last evening a doctor said
that curvature OF the spine was usually due

said Mrs. Hasiem's backbone might nave

muscles.

NANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 2S.-The cam

with the greatest vigor by President Zelaya.
As intimated in these dispatches yesterday
afternoon, the President decided not to wait
for the Leonists to attack Managua, but Or
dered an advance on the enemy and cap
tured the town of Nagarote, on the western
shore of Lage Managua, about twenty-five
miles from here and en- the way to Leon.
Naragote is now held by small body of the
government troops. and column is pushing
forward in the direction of Leon.
Early this morning Momotomba, on Lake
Managua, was bombarded by a gunboat after
the place had been called on TO surrender.
Ten shells were thrown into the town. and
firing ceased when the inhabitants fed in ter
ror. Loss of rebels and amount OF damage
done is not known. Momotombo had de-
clared in favor of General Ortiz, the leader
Of the instruction. Reinforcements of men.
arms and ammunition have arrived from
Grenada, and a second column will be sent
TO the 'front.' during the day.
The successes of the government troops up
to the present have had the effect of making
the Presidents supporters very confident of
ultimately suppressing the rebellion. Very lit
tie information is obtzinable concerning the
doings of General Ortiz and the Leonists, but
according TO a report they have succeeded In
placing over four thousand men under arms
and are advancing to meet the government
troops. If this is the case a decisive engage
ment should take place soon.
There is great rejoicing here tonight over
news that has just been received from Te-
gucigolpa, the capital of Honduras, that
Honduras will send two thousand troops &c
aid the government of Nicaragua TO suppress
the revolt OF the Leonists. President Poll
carpo Bonilla, the President of Honduras, is
