The sensational newspapers in thc Slatos have even gone so far as to say that Mr. Lawson is a mental wreck, but ai special despatcii to the Star todiiy from Boston says that many reports in regard 1 to his health are exaggerated, althougli there is no denying the fact that Mr Lawson is not a well mari.
