cerning this vexed question had been re
ceived from the authorities , at Wash,

for the hope that a final amicabie settle

rounded by a high wire fence.
The youngest daughter is Chrls
tlr.a, an attractive child just twelve
years of age. In' the fall it ha3 al
ways been the custom to gather wild
elder berries, out of which her moth
would make wine. ' A vear ago last
fall, when she returned homo afier
having spent the day gathering ber
ries, she complained of ,paius in her
stomach. ' Family remidics were ap
plied in? vain, j " , f t
A phj'sician was called whose pre
scriptions were useless, and the pain
increased i Upon the advice of . a
neighbor the little suiTerer was taken
to a hospital in Eighth' street ' New
York, founded by Mrs. Oswald Otten
dorfer. , The physician who took
charge of the case tried a number of
experiments that proved of no avail.
Then he ordered the .girl to fast , for
three - consecutive 7 days. The. fast
ended on Tuesday fast, and when
Christina . went to tlift.hosiiital she
told the doctor the pains had increased
and that she suffered ;from chocking

to open her 5 mouth wide while he
slapped hex violently, on the back.

young-girl fainted, - but was soon rc-j
