CANCER.

CANCER.
Mrs II. S. Smith, sister Of Mrs. Nathan
Kendall, of Enosburgh Falls, came to me a
year ago when first visited Enosburgh Falls.
On examination found an open sore in the
right breast. The sore was about two sizes
larger than silver dollar with ragged, I'M
healthy edges, was discharging and odorous.
She stated she had had two operations for the
removal of cancers from that breast, had
showed it to the family physician, who told
her it was cancer, and that he was sorry for
her as nothing could be done. Today the sore
is entirely healed and Mrs. Smith says she
feels ten years younger and never was in bet
ter health in her life. She is rs years old at
that.
Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr.
Barbrick. | want everybody to know what he
has done for me, and will answer all letters "

BRIGHT's DISEASE.
Mrs. o. c. Cole, Halifax, Mass, came to
see me last September. On examination
found general bloated and dropsical condi-
ton all over body. Abdomen and lower limbs
very much swollen. Much tenderness across
the back in the region of the kidneys. Heart
and circulation very much depressed. Urine
half blood and mucous and waste matter. She
complained awfully of pains in the sides and
back, choking and smothering sensations, OPP
pressed feeling in the head, numbness of the
limbs, etc. The family doctor pronounced it
Bright's disease, and promised to do what he
could for her, but considered the case a hope
less one. So did she it seems, for this is what
she says-"My children would have been
motherless today if it had not been for DR..
Barbrick. Signed, Mrs o. G. COLE.

would have been the case if she had not made
one supreme effort and seen this wonderful

In letter to the New York Sun Capt.
A. L. Mahan defends Admiral Sampson
against the endeavor to eliminate him as
a factor in the destruction of Cervera' S
fleet, and to give Schley all the credit.
Capt. Mahan holds that Admiral Samp-
sons skillful disposition of the fleet SO
closely guarded the harbor at night as
to compel Cervera to make his effort to
e:cape in the day time. Capt. Mahan
says:
During the night hours of July 2-3,
when there Is strong reason to believe
that Cervera, despite the full moon,
wished to come out, the commander-in-
chief, with the whole of his force lay
close to the harbor's mouth, and the
Spanish attempt was deferred till day,
when it might be supposed from their
usual practice that the besleging vessels
would lie more distant, and perhaps off
their guard. AT a. M, when day be-
gan to break, the Massachusetts,, COM
manded by one of the most spirited Off
GERS in the service, silently Withdrew, to
Half an hour before the enemy was dis
covered coming out, the flagship New
York also proceeded east. In doing this
the commander-in-chief, Admiral Samp-
ton, was obeying a specific and direct
order of the Navy Department, to confer
personally with the communicated chief
of the army. To this was owing that, to
use the words of SIMPSONS dispatch. the
flagship twas not at any time within
range of the heavy Spanish ships. :"
Upon this circumstance, notifying as a
mere disappointment, that the ship,
though pushed to her utmost speed, could
not retrieve her original disadvantage of
position-incurred in obedience to the or
ders of the Navy Department-has been
raised the shameful outcry, designed to
deprive an eminent officer of the just re-.
ward Of his tolls.
When the fight was in progress Capt.
Mahan holds that not one commander ex-
ercised any general supervision over the
movements of the fleet The thing to
be done was apparent to every ships
captain, and every one of them proceeded
to do it. Capt. Mahan seems to be more
successful in showing that no one com
mander was entitled to special credit than
in making out case of special credit on
the part of Admiral Sampson.

When treaty of peace has been negoti-

When treaty of peace has been negoti-
ated between Spain and the United
States the Senate will of course be sum-
moned to consider it, but whether meet
ing earlier than the regular session in
December will be necessary is uncertain.
As we understand the terms that Spain
has accepted, some of them are definite,
like the surrender of Cuba and Porto
Rico, while others are indefinite, like that
relating to the future of the Philippines,
which is to be settled by commission.
No formal treaty of peace can be made
apparently until the terms OF the Philip
pine settlement are determined by the
commissioners. This settlement may be
the occasion of long delay. The commits
sion must meet, and the question be ar
gued at length, Such bodies always move
slowly, and it will be good many weeks
before conclusion is reached. When 1T
is amended definite treaty of peace can
be framed covering all the questions in
yolved, and not til, then. 1t may be re-
garded as very doubtful therefore if
treaty will be in shape for consideration
by the Senate much before the regular
session in December.

| ONLY five out of the seventeen islands
are really inhabited. These five are in
thu southern group. Their names are
Guahan, Rota, Aguigan, Laypan and
Tinian. The only town and capital is on
the island Guahan. The islands in the
northern group are more or less noun
famous, and on some of them are smok'
ing craters.
In many parts the Mariana are covered
with impenetrable forests and are luxurl-
ant with rich, tropical vegetation.
Pandamus and palms of a majestic size
grow in all places, and there are many
fine timber trees. The plains supply r'oh
pastures for cattle and the fertile low
| lands are in high state Of cult1vatlon.
/ The most valuable product is rice SWEEP
potatoes, mandiooa and bananas are next
| in abundance. Besides these africa, cocoa
nut palms, maize, sugar. tobacco, COTTON,
| indigo, bread fruit and CASTOR oil are pro.
duced in abundance. If it were not for
! the laziness and incidence of the. popuia-
ton, the consequences of years of unlaw-
full Suppression these islands would be
immensely profitable.
The animals of the Ladrones are similar
in kind and variety to the Carol1nes and
the Philippines. Swine and oxen run
wild and are hunted when desired.
Horses and mules ale considered luxuries
and are possessed only by the rich. The
forests are inhabited by beautifully
plumaged birds. Sand pipers. owls. pig
cons. doves, ravens woodpeckers, sea swal-
lows. fish martins and blackbirds Iare the
most common.
The people are physically well proper
toned, the men reaching feet . 1ncnes
and the women 1.-THE and slender. Ihe
costume of the men consist OF ample hall
drawers and Jacket of blue linen; that OF
the women petticoat of varied colors and
chemisette or jacket of white cotton CLOTH.
When working, the upper portion OF tie
body of both men and women is quite
naked. The men are kind to the women
and the women are faithful to the men,
They do the homework, care for the
children, the native weave cloth and
make fish lines and nets. The houses are
from twenty to sixty feet In length and
only one story high They have angular,
sloping roofs, matched with palm leaves.
The wooden frame is covered during
the rainy season with palm leaf mats ct
tached to the roof by means of hooks. In
February the impenetrable mats are
taken off and replaced with open netting,
SO that the air can circulate freely through
the open house. The wealthy have their
houses furnished in European style, but
the Door have no furnishings save mats
made Of palms and grasses. The houses
are lighted by means of porcelain bowls,
which serve as lamps, with cocoanut OIL
and cotton wicks.

The immediate cause of the strained
relations between England and Russia is
the action of the latter in forbidding
China to make loan to the railroad
which British capitalists are building in
Manchuria, which lies within Russia S
sphere of influence. When Lord Sails
bury heard of Russias action the Chi
nese foreign office was promptly informed
that Great Britain would mot tolerate
any interference of another power as be-
tween her Majesty's subjects and tbs
Chinese government in contracts freely en-
tered into with them by the latter, and
would support the Chinese government
in resisting suchiaggression." If China
stands by the contract and Russia under
takes to enforce her prohibition, then
England is under obligation to defend
China to the extent, if need be, of 60
ing to war with Russia. If, on the other
hand, China yields to Russia, then Eng
land would have to proceed to compel her
to fulfill her concession to the British
company, or back completely down.
The situation is critical, but the proba-
bility is that diplomacy will be able to
bring about some arrangement that will
avert conflict. There can be no doubt
that in this business the sympathy of
the United States belongs with England.
She is contending for equal trade priv
ileges in the Chinese empire for all the
nations, while Russia and Germany are
both seeking exclusive opportunities.

1t turns out that great many OF the
SO called "immunes" never had yellow
fever, and hence are just as susceptible to
it as the men we are bringing away from
Santiago Col Hood undertook in good
faith to raise regiment of "immunes, "
but it was SO slow business that the gov
eminent grew discouraged, and it was
intimated to him that it wasn't essential
that tie applicants for enlistment should
have had yellow fever, any other fever
would do. After that the regiment filled
up rapidly, not, however, with immunes.

Senator Foraker says Providence in
tended that we should take and hold the
Philippines. If that be SO it is strange
that that Providence didn't make the
task easier, for according to Admiral
Dewey to take and hold the Philippines
will require an army of 151, 900 men. By
the way, where does MIR. Foraker get his
Providence? Have Ohio statesmen got
into confidential relations with Provi-
dence too?

Secretary Alger does not seem to be des-
tined to get large amount of glory out
of this war. His attempted explanations
of the failure of his department to take
in the situation at Santiago and to pro-
vide for it, have not helped him any, and
the trick he played on Col. Roosevelt
excites general disgust. 1t may he that
the attacks upon him are inspired partly
by spite, but spite couldn't have fur
nished the evidence to support them
which appears to be very abundant

While with the return of peace it will
be possible to disband some or all of our
volunteer army it is clear that the regu-
lar army will have to be increased much
beyond its numbers before the war. Ha-
waii will have to be garrisoned perma-
nently and SO will Porto Rico, while for
several years to come at least we shall
have to keep force in all the principal
Cuban cities to preserve order and help in
the establishment of stable government.
Ii we should decide to bold the Philip

be needed there. Without these island to

twice that number will be hardly enough.

easier to vote prohibition into the funda-

amply proved. The Canadien act will
apply to a whole country, however, in
stead of a small fraction of a country, as
ours does, and for that reason it may be
