DR.. FiSkE DEAD.
A Singular Life Brought to Sudden Close
Last Night.

In a small shop at rs Middle street,
which served him as kitchen, dining
room, bedroom and laboratory, DR.. Allen
Fiske, we'll known botanical physician,
died last night. He had lived there all
alone until he was taken ill, several weeks
'go, since which time an old man who
resides in that neighborhood had taken
care of him. For some days it was known
that he could not recover, but death came
rather suddenly.
DR.. Fiske was SO years old. He was a
native of Wayne, in which town he passed
the greater part of his life and had a
prominent part in the building up OF its
industries. He at one time was owner Of
wooden mill there. Meeting with bust
ness reyerses, he took up the study of
medicine and has ever since been engaged
in the manufacture of concoction known
as &c Fiske's bitters.''
He came to Portland twenty-five or
thirty years ago and remained till five or
six years ago, when he disappeared for a
time. After his return he resumed the
manufacture of his bitters. He has

Washington, June 10.-The conflict
between Col. A. q. Girard, chief of sur
geous at Camp Alger, and the regimental
surgeons, eliminated today in the ap-
pointment of a commission to investigate
tn division hospital. 1t has been Col.
Girard's policy to take from the various
regiments their hospital supplies provided
by states and friends. and concentrate
them in the division hospital. This has
been opposed by the regiments. Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald Of Massachusetts
called the attention of General Graham to
the state of affairs and General Graham
summoned Col Girard before him for ex-
PLANTATION. Col. Girard maintained that
he had acted strictly in accordance with
army regulations and said that If they
were enforced the regimental dispensaries
would be abolished.
General Graham however, decided to
have an investigation and commission
was appointed fer this purpose. The chief
surgeon will permit subordinates to con-
duct the division hospital pending re-
port. A circular was issued to Brigade
Surgeons stating that two cots might bt
retained in each regimental hospital and
division hospital when necessary if practi

OF Insanity.
II y0*ne 70oazam rescued in the MIX Of time from
Jafe more terrible than death. Her friends had
desbafred Of SAVING her.

On the verge Of insanity, Miss Hattie
King, Of Ithaca, N. Y, was checked IN
the course that was taking her rapidly to
the grave, and restored to her friends in
sound physical and mental health and
regained happiness.
The change for the better In this charm
ing young woman, not yet eighteen years
Old, is so great that when she reappeared
In public her friends could hardly Believe
the evidence that their eyes clearly showed
them.
Miss King became greatiy weakened
by complication of physical troubles,
and was looked upon by her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.
Her stepfather, Charles NJ. Burnett, tells
OF her strange cure as follows:
Hattie FIRST complained Of dizziness,
which steadily grew worse.
"She suffered with Nausea and attacks
Of vomiting, could keep bot little on her
stomach.
Kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when drop was
drawn by the prick Of needle, was al
most as colorless as water.
Tier heart was affected. She would
frequently faint from the slight exertion Of
rising from bed Or from a chair.
She coughed continually, so that her
friends feared she was constructive.
She lost flesh rapidly; would be con-
fined to her bed for two OF three weeks at
tine. %

We look at our churches with their
congregations, growing in numbers and
dwindling in faith, says Ii. q. Chap
man in The Atlantic, and we ask our
selves: In all these buildings, cheap or
costly, what real prayers rise, and Of
those that rise do any get above the
roof! What God hears them and has
there ever been an answered prayer: We
look at the face of the dead and repeat
a burial service. If after the manner of
men have fought with beasts at Ephe-
sus, what advantageth it me II the dead
rise not? And as We say the words we
ask ourselves, DO the dead rise?" And
if any one is found who believes these
things he knows that there L. another
at his elbow who believes them not a
whit or all atom, and these two can hit
on no universe that shall satisfy both,
