"He Saved My Haby's LlfeI"

"Bless Professor Nichols said she, flor he saved my little baby's life. She is 8 months old, and something over two months ago she was taken violently i'll. I called in the doctors, and they said she had cholera infantum, and while they did all they could for her, they did her no good. She grew worse all the time and was nothing but skin and bones, and when her eyes were closed those who saw her thought she was dead. At last a lady who had been cured by Professor Nichols told me to carry baby to him. With heavy heart did so, and when, one week ago last Monday, he gave her the first treatment, l saw a marked improve me at once. Professor Nichols has now treated her five times, and as you see, she is all right. There is no doubt but what Professor Nichols saved her life, for she could not have lived in the condition she was in"
 Mrs. Wilson was radiantly happy as she cued from the very jaws of death, cooed happily in her arms, as 1t contentedly drew on its bottle of milk. The glow of health was once more upon its cheeks, and Its clear eyes and pink complexion betokened the return of the vigor of child hood.
 The above appeared as an advertisement in the afternoon papers of Saturday, Au- gust 24. Prof. J. J. Nichols office is in the McGowan Building Third avenue be- tween Twentieth and Tewnty-first streets.

q graduate of the country school will be a happier woman than any senior wrangier who ever burned the mid night oil.
 Midnight oil is forbidden at the Kent school. The one aim of the course there is to develop girl to physical perfection, to perfect, radiant health of body. Everything is bent to that purpose.
 The founder and head of the school is a Swedish woman, who has attained a high position as an authority on physical culture and who had broad experience as a teacher in London be- fore she opened her college, which is backed by several well-known English women.
 The college was intended primarily as a training school for teachers of physical culture; but 1t was soon found that there were innumerable appl1ca- tions for entrance from girls who merely wished to improve their own health, and now a large proportion of the pupils are daughters of wealthy families, who are taking the two years course for the sake of physical develp- ment and health.
 Every applicant submits to medi- cal examination, and if organic disease is found is not accepted as pupil, but if there is nothing more serious out of order than nerves, digestion, circula- tion, etc, the girl Is admitted, provided there is a vacancy for her.
 Her corsets come off at once and are not put on again during the two years. She does not don a hat from the hour she enters the school until the hour she leaves, no matter how bad the weather may be. Her diet Is liberal, but strictly hygienic, and any excep- tioE4 Tn it are made only by the physi- clans orders. She wears a uniform, consisting of a loose blouse of dark blue wool with knickerbockers and a lightweight knee kilt, black woolen stockings and LOW tan shoes.
 She goes to bed every night at and gets up at 6, and unless it is actually storming, she spenus almost every mo meut of the day in the open air.
 There are classes in anatomy so that pupils may understand the working of their muscles, and in hygiene, so that they may know the principles govern ing choice of food.
 The pupil is first put through a course of Swedish movements, and as she grows stronger is admitted to the more energetic outdoor studies. She is taught to swim, to row, to ride, to run and vault, and ride wheel, and play cricket and tennis and golf and hockey. Her days are put in at these sports, but under careful supervision. Wonderful transformations are accom- plished, and constitutions are built up that not even after years of society life or work can ruin.
 A few schools of the same sort would be an excellent innovation in this coun- try, and there is many a girl grinding through college whose chance for happy living would be greater if she could abandon the college work and go in for two years course like that of the English open-air school.

ANOTHER WALLACE ROMANCE.
This, However, Is Not Imaginative,
 But of Real Occurrence.

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
 Not ali of General Lew Wallace's TO- mances are done on paper. Occasionally this dean of historical romances takes hand in an affair of the heart in real life." and manages it as successful as if 1t were a creation of his imagination.
 Last winter General Lew Wallace lived in the 'Blacherne," his handsome In- dianapolis apartment building, which was erected entirely from the proceeds of Ben Hur," the novel which made his fame
 After dinner General Wallace had just settled himself to the enjoyment of studious evening, when a servant an- nounced that a young Armenian desired a short interview. He was at once ad- mitted, for General Wallace makes 1t rule to see all foreign callers without ex- ception. Then the young manstated his mission.
 His brother. he said. was under suspi- cion of the Sultan's government. and had found 1t advisable to keep out of Turkish domains. But a desire to see his sweet heart had at length determined him to make the reckless experiment of going hacr to the Turkish capital Therefore he had written to his brother in America, saving: '1f you do not hear from me in- side of twenty days. you will know that have gone to Constantinople, and If you do not receive within forty days a letter mailed from there, make up your mind that have been thrown into prison and be prepared to help get me out"
 General Wallaces caller then said that more than forty days had passed and that he had received no word from the reckless young brother, and he added:
 VT know that there issnot man in this country so high In the favor of the Sul- tan as yourself, and so I have come to beg you to do what you can for my brothers liberation
 @'.All the world loves a lover" and Gen erai Wallace is not an exception to this rule. He at once took keen personal interest in the case. By cablegram cor respondence with a prominent Turkish official, whose close friendship General Wallace had enjoyed while United States Minister to Turkey, he learned that the young man had been imprisoned on the charge of comp1icity ina dangerous revo- 1utionary plot against the government, and tbat his probable fate was most un- enviable. Then General Wallace made epfstolary appeals to group of officials high in the councils of the Sultan, and finally received notice that as a personal compliment to him, the prisoner would be released on condition that he at once take permanent leave of the country.
 Immediately, the novelist sent liberal check, sufficient to pay the passage and other expenses of two persons travelling from Constantinople to Indianapolis. and directed the young Armenian to marry his sweetheart and start at once with her for America. This he did and, if a dis play of human gratitude is compensation for an act of unself1sh beneyolence, Gen eral Wallace was liberaiiy rewarded for his efforts.

Intyre, special assistant district attorney
in the case OF Samuel kennedy, accused
of the murder OF Dolly Reynolds, an.
nounced today that kennedy would 60
on trial OIL February 4.
because of the death OF the official
stenographer who reported the proceed
inge at Ksnnedy's first trial. he was
found guilty and sentenced to death,
and the disappearance of several wit
nesses for the prosecution, It was thought
that the case against Kennedy would be
materially weakened. The law provides
that the evidences taken down by an offic-
ial stenoRrapher must be sworn to by the
stenographer before 1t can be used In a
second proceeding. The death OF the
stenographer made the evidence at the
first trial worthless.
MIR. Mcintyre has been busy for several
weeks gathering the evidence and To-
eating the witnesses. Hs has found all OF
the witnessed he wants. Mir. Mcintyre
said yesterday: ~ have tn evidence

furnished an opportunity for the Vice
President to protest vigorously, because
he was not in the procession. and finally
to appear with mountain lion and as

~ saturday.

Bangor, Me-, January 96. The Bangor
house. one Of the oldest and best known
hotels In New ENGLAND, was badly dam
aged this afternoon by IRE and water and
narrowly efcaped destruction, The fire
Was discovered at 8 40 p. IN In the attic
OF the main part Of the hotsl on the
Main street side and dsnss volumes Of
smoke pouring from the roof frightened
the guests of that wing OF the hotel into
the street. The firemen had hard work
getting into the attic on ACCOUNT Of the
peculiar construction OF the building and
the flames had acquired considerable
Roadway when the first water was put
on. A second and third alarm were sent
In ana nearly all the apparatus in the
city was called out. Thousands Of people
gathered in the streets the alarm having
spread that the entire houss was In
flames and many guests In danger Of
their lives. No one was injured, how
ever, although some OF the women board
ers were badly frightened. The occupants
OF the main part OF the hotel made a
hasty exit with their baggage and what
could be gathered mp OF their belongings,
going to other hotels and private resi-
dercss, The flremen were Handicapped
by a freezing gale and by insufficient
water pressure, also by the height and re-
culiar construction OF the building, but
the managed TO get control OF the flames
in two hours and at 35 the about sig
nal was sounded, The roof on tho Main
street side was practically burned of, the
fifth floor badly damaged and that entire
from top to bottom, rendering It unin-
habitable.
Much OF the furniture In this section is
ruined and the building itself thoroughly
soaked. The Office, bar, barber shop, ele-
vator and billiard room are in the dam
aged section. Other parts of the hotel
were damaged with their contents by
great hotel, and many OF the regular
boarders moved out. The new wing, in
Union street, was not reached by the lire
or smoke.
The damage cannot Do estimated accu-
rately tonight, as Captain ii. q. Chap
man, the senior proprietor, is at Greene
Lake.
1t is thought, however, that the loss on
building and contents will not te less
than $4,000. possibly much more. while
many of thoss living In the hotel sus-
tanned losses which, In the aggregate, Will
be considerable.
The Bangor house was built In 1884
and was modelled after the old fremont
