to lose its characteristic SAVIOR.
In the summer of 1857 Nj. Lincoln
was sitting in his Office, when he was
visited by one Of his neighbors, an
excellent farmer, but one inclined to
increase the size Of his crops, even
after harvesting. He had given On
this particular morning q skiIlfaliy
padded account Of the hay he had
put in.
I've been cutting hay, too" re-
marked Mr.. Lincoln.

he had kept horse belonging to
private parties at the FIRE station
and fed it at the expense Of the
city. Further charges we're that
he had refused TO render a state
ment As TO money collected to buy
clothes for the company, that
several fires have occurred of which
he knew nothing until they had
been extinguished, that harmony
in the company was impossible so
as Burgess was chief and that the
latter was not qualified for the po-
sition Of chief. There was also a
minor charge regarding the buying
of tub for the FIRE station.
A number of witnesses were ex-
amined. The session OF the coun-
ell was prolonged one. Many
spectators were present. After
the testimony was concluded, the
council went into executive ses-
sion and finally came to the fol
lowing conclusion:
I'VE, the city council, after
hearing all the testimony in the
case, do not think it necessary at
this time to render verdict of
guilty or not gnilty, but we do
deem it necessary for the best in
terests of the city to ask for the res
ignation of Mr.. Burgess, to take
effect Immediately, and the Mayor
is hereby requested to recommend

SKIN TURNING BLACK.
Strange Disease Makes Dowd Resem'

New York, Feb. 19.-At first the doctors
thought they had a negro turning white
when they examined Nicholas Dowd at the
Hudson Street hospital. After more
thorough study of his case, made yes

found TO be a white man turning black.
Dowd, when first admitted, showed a
face almost wholly black, save for two
small spots. very white one on his fore
head and the other on the front of his
chin. Thinking that the back-or rather
the dark brown-wss his natural complex
ion, the doctors thought the white spots
TO be signs Of disease known as leuco
derma, which much resembles leprosy,
although not related to ii.
Dowds body, as the Bellevue hospital
doctors discovered. is almost covered by
the black spots, which run into one an
other, leaving exposed only here and there
small patches of white skin, whose natu-
ral paIeness is made CHASTITY by the con-
trast. The complaint is diagnosed as

The cause is attributed to run

by Dowd tallies with that He was born
