Washington, April I.—Notwithstanding the aasnraneea of Colonel Dan Lamont that the President has never enjoyed better health than at present and that the warning of Doetor (Dowers was wholly without foundation, the President baa taken steps looking to a systematic course of physical exercise. A large box arrived at the White Honsn to-day containing a complete set of athletic appliances. The cartoons which havo recently appeared in tbe newspapers showing the President going through various gymnastic exercises may soon be reproduced in illustration of matters of fact. A small gymnasium will be fitted up in tho basement of the Executive Mansion, and the President will put himself through « regular daily course of exercise. It will be necessary for him to sennre the services of a teacher or trainer. Both Ned Donnally and Collins, tho "cast iron man," are applicants. They are retired prize fighters and run boxing and fencing schools, which are much atiVcted by the gilded youth of the city. If. is understood that the President has concluded to take this course at tbe earnest solicitation of Mrs. Cleveland. She was rather frightened at the opinion of Dr. Sowers, and insisted that the President xhoiild immediately heed the warning. Hi* might have walked more about, but is somewhat sensitive of the curiosity of the public, and this drove him te ihe seclusion broken only by an occasional ride into the conutry. Mrs. Cleveland is a woman of good horse sense as well as of beauty, and saw that what Dr. Sowers said was true slid that her husband was neglecting his health. She insisted that he shouli? enter upon a regular system of daily exercise, and the portable gymnasium is the result. 8he not only desires him to outlive this term but also another one. A Well-IIe.l.d Pauper. Mr. Fairehild has been the real head of the portfolio for more than a year, and if tie ever had any views that conflict with tbe Presidential ideas as carried oat by the late Secretary Manning, they have not been apparent. He has, on tbe other hand, shown himself a man of fine executive ability, who has mastered the details of the depaitment and who is in fall sympa thy with the President and his Cabinet. It is remarked that not only the Secretary, bat his assistants,{still hail from New York. The great financial center ought to be satisfied, and the President has reason to desire to satisfy it just now. It is probable i hat the successor of Controller Mayuard will also be a New Yorker. Now York has long dominated the Treasury and all its branches, no matter who was Secretory. About three out of five of all its administrative officers are now from New York. Washington, March 31.—After a long wait and much speculation and anxiety on the part of the public the President baa finally designated the suoeeasor of Secretary Manning. Assistant Secretary Fairchild was to-day advanced to the poet of honor, and Controller Maynard succeeds Fairchild as Assistant Secretary. This ends the gossip so far as these offices are concerned. The appointment of Mr. Fairchild has been discounted for some time, though nobody guessed the name of his successor. About everybody else but Mr Maynard had been suggested. It seemed quite natural that tbe President, with his conservative ways, should select Mr. Fair obild for Secretary of the Treasury. It is true, Mr. Fairchild is not a big man in a national sense, but is a very competent man. A big man like Mr. Carlisle might have brought strength to the administration, but he would have also brought new ideas and perhaps a new policy, and it is too lute in President Cleveland's term to enter upon a new aduaiuistralion in the Treasury.

The treatment, it says, was liiat. iutri iiuced by Hergoon,of Lyons, and adds editorially: "Vory many of the statements which have been spread broadcast over the country are absolutely false. 80 far as we know, there have been no oases cured, certainly not at the Philadelphia Hospital, and even those of Bergeon's patients w ho were most benefitted continued to have slight expectoration obtaining bacilli. The results at the Philadelphia Hospital, iu the limited series of cases which have been nnder treatment, have been in the reduction of the fever and thtf sweats, the lesseuiugof the expectoration, and in the increase of w eight. These are gains to be thankfal for, and encourage un to hope that we may have a remedial measure of gome value, but further thau this nothing can be said. Phthisis, us we usually meet it, is au acute disease, and an experience of seven weeks is far too short a .time iu which to form a judgment of the permanent bouelieeut etl'eots of the treatment.Train Ilobl»ern on the Went Mliorc.

Boston, March 30 —Yesterday Bridget Donovan, 65 years of age, a widow, wus found wandering about Concord, weak, wet and half-starved. The authorities sent her to Tewksbury, where it was found that she had $546 iu bills and eight bank books representing $7,38d sewed up in the liuing of her ragged and dirty clothes The State Board of Charities has fonnd that she came to this country 40 years ago, ifiarried and settled in Natiok, raising a coupleof boys. Her husband was a blacksmith, and managed to lay up some money. He owned property In South Boston. About seven or eight years ago Donovan died. Shortly afterwards bis widow sold the property, and from that time on carried the proceeds aboat her, as stated. She always claimed that she did not post-as a cent, and recently lived in a little room at No. 45 Oiwego street, subsisting upon bread and water. This diet was oni> changed when she managed to beg something more substantial in her daily rounds, for she went out peddling from door to door with a basket of pius, needles and thread.

She is 9 years old, bnt is very ig norant, never having received a common Hohool education, and is neither able t» read nor write. A few days ago the girl told her mother about "having fanny dreams," in which she discoursed withsev eral dead relatives. Shortly after the girl took a slate and pencil of an older brother and began writing in a clear, legible hand what seemed to be messages from people who had departed from this life. The writ ing was peculiar in form, being right to left instead of left to right, and was read by the little one's mother by holding the slate before a looking glasB. A day or two ago u prominent business man was callfd upon by the mother to see what he thought, at the matter, she being mystified and alarmed, It was only a moment after going to see the girl and talking with her that she passed into the peculiar condition attending the demonstra tlons known as tho "trance state," and wrote hiin a mrssage to all intents from his wife, who had beAn dead some time, signing her name. The communication carried information upon certain domestic nffi.irn that the gentleman sunk no one bin his wife and himself hail the slightest knowledge of, least of all the ignorant lit. lie irl u ho could not ordinarily write her own name, :ii;<1 whom he never s:iw or heard of hefoie.
