DECLARED HOPELESS
A CASE IN WHICH LEARNED MEN
WERE MISTAKEN.
Eleven Doctors Gave Mr.. Mat Tanner, of
Albany, but Six Weeks to Live.
How He was Cured.

From the Albany (N. u Journal
Throughout the Empire State there
are few persons not in public life who
are better known that Mat Tanner, of
213 Hamilton street, Albany. Although
nearing seventy years of age. Mr.. Tan
ner is a hale and hearty gentleman over
six feet in height, straight as an arrow
and with a kindly and engaging man
ner. Notwithstanding his desire TO re
tire from active business, his well
known skill as a veterinary surgeon II
so largely in demand that he Is still "A
very busy man.
For over thirty years Mr.. Tanner was
employed by the American Express
Company at its offices in Utica and Al
bany. and during that time held sever
al important positions. Inclination led
him to become a veterinarian. and for
fourteen years he cared for the health
of the hundreds Of horses at the various
Offices of the American Express Com
pany between New York and Buffalo
Some time ago Mr.. Tanner became
afflicted with rheumatism and was
given up to die by the best doctors OF
Albany and New York. The manner In
which ne was cured is best told as Mr.
Tanner described il to a reporter who
called at his handsome home on Hamil-
ton street. Mr.. Tanner said:
In 1890 i was taken with rheuma.

nine of the best physicians in. Albany

The superintendent of the Hot Springs
reservation, Arkansas. has made an inter-
'esting report to theq Secretary Of the In
terror concerning the reservation during
the past year. in which he says it has
reached its high-water mark Of popularity.
According to the best estimates there were
$1,000 visitors during the season. The in
come to the government from water and
ground rents amounted to $1S,67O. while the
fixed charges were only about $14. 1000, leav-
ing fair balance, which, in accordance
with the liberal policy OF the government.
was available for additional improvements
in the reservation. The reservation in
cludes oil acres. and In his tract there are
157 government lots still unsold. The su-
perintendent says the sale of these lots.
which have been appraised at $4,000. would
go far toward providing the money neces-
