CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. ITALIAN LAWMAKERS FIGHT. Stormy Scene In the C'hnmber of Deputies. ltOMK, July 1. The sitting of the chamber of deputies yesterday was vio lently riotous. The Undicnls declare! that they would continue to prevent a majority vote on the government's meas ures looking to the mnintennnce of public order, and a wrangle ensued, which de veloped into a general nielee, in which luauy blows were exchanged. Signers Praiupalinc and Dp Falnce seized the voting urns for the purpose of preventing a vote, and for this they will be prosecuted by the government. A secret ballot having been ordered up on certain bills, the Socialists rushed down to prevent It. Signer Sonuino ad vanced first to register his vote, but the Socialist deputy Signor Bissolati denit him a violuut blow near the temple. Sig nor Sonuino then seized him by the throat nud coat collar and threw him down, receiving himself in the menn timo numerous blows from the other So cialisU who took part in the affray. General Pelloux, pale and stupefied, remained standing. He was on the point of being attacked, when Admiral Uettolo raised a chair and defended him. DREYFUS AT RENNES. On the subject of divorce the cor respondent of the Wilkesbarre Record who is also a lawyer, says: "This county is fast making a reputation as a divorce mill. Every term of court grinds out a good grist of them. But as long as the law on the subject of divorce in this State remains as it is there is little hope of a change in this respect. In New York State it is easy to get tied up, but after that it is not so easuy unuea 1 nereis but one ground for a divorce, adultery, and the laws of evidence are held strictly on this point. In this State the obtain, ing of a license may hold some people in check, on the start, but the num erous grounds for a divorce on our statute books make it possible for any one to free themselves from the state of matrimony."

Asa result of sclntio rheumatism the elder was partially paralyzed. lie was able to get about only with the aid of crutches. The parts of bis body affect ed by the disease were entirely numb. One day the old gentleman was toying with a swarm of bees. Evidently recog nizing that he could not run the bees attacked him viciously. They stung him repeatedly in the numb portions of his anatomy. Under the stings they rapidly recovered a lively sense of feel ing. Dropping his crutches, the elder executed n skirt dance which would have done credit to Loie Fuller. Next morning, though somewhat sore from the stings, the elder states that every trace of the rheumatism had left him, nor has It ever returned. He urges all victims of rheumatism to try the bee sting cure, believing in oil seriousness that it will cure them.
