MORRISON FOR PRESIDENT.
A Couple OF Correspondents See His
Boom Coming.

CINCINNATI, Dec. g.; l4e Elqulref's W ash
ington correspondent ttiegraphS: There is go
ing to be trouble after ali among the Demo-
cratic presidential candidates in the west.
Up to the time the speakership canvass grew
warm, there was the general belief that Car
isles success meant an opening overture in
favor of Mcdonald. He was pushed by rep
rosentatives from free trade states supposed
to be for Mcdonald as a free trade
candidate. Since the caucus, however,
there is reason to believe that Morrison,
of Illinois, is to bs pushed as the beneficiary
of whatever there may be in Carlisles cleo
ton. Already one hears that the Democratic
candidate must come from the west,
and the friends of Morrison are not
only active but demonstrative. Nor
rison himself gives open encouragement. 1t
is already beginning to dawn on the minds of
McDonald's friends that there is to be an effort
made to squelch their candidate, and to
build up Morrison at bis expense. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Carlisle is aware Of the
movement, but he could not well be contrary
to it in view of the active part Morrison took
in his behalf
It can further be noted that Morrison is
discussed with more favor than Mcdonald by
the revenue reformers. The argument is
used that his position on the tariff is more
explicit than that of Mcdonald; that he has
the advantage of having a military record;
that his public life is open to no misconstruc-
ton, and that if the candidate is to stand on
the platform of a tariff for reve lue only and
come from the west, he is the man.
NEW YoRK, Dec. 4.-"Gath" says: Mr..
Morrison may himself become a presidential
quantity unless the tariff question should
produce such general alarm that the Demo
Gratis will fly to quasi protectionist for their
candidate The political field requires cool
iIldpment

THE PRAYER CURE.
Remarkable Story OF Miss Jennie
Smith, Evangelis:.
Her Marvellous Cure After Sixteen
Years OF HelDlessness---
Miracle OF Thes0l
Latter Days.

CHICAGO, Dec GA large audience I'd
Farwell hall listened to the recital of the
story of the marvellous cure OF Miss Jennie
Smith through the agency of prayer, after
more than sixteen years Of suffering and
helplessness. The story attracted much
attention, for in this skeptical age, when
anything that resembles miracle is looked
upon with suspicion, such manifestation
goes far toward strengthening the faithful in
their belief. If Miss Smiths story of her suf-
ferings be only partly true, she deserved u
release from them years ago.
When entering upon her teens, she says, her
father met with financial reverses. She was
ambitious to assist the family, and so over
worked hsrself that for six months she was
confined to her bed. From that her physic' ]
troubles grew. Suffering first from spinal
troubles, one of her limbs afterward became
affected, and for some years she endured the
most violent paroxysms of pain. AT times she
lost the power of speech and sight. and for
awhile could only hear with one ear. Every
kind of medical treatment failed to effect
cure. Having entirely lost the power to help
herself, Miss Smith began her religious work.
he was carried before her audiences on
couch. At Philadelphia, five years ago, the
cal aid. All hope of cure was then abandoned,
and she gave herself up to suffering and
Christian work While still confined to her
room at the hospital a time was set for some
ministers to call upon her. She then deter
mined to test the will of God, and to ask the
prayers of her friends for her recovery.
When the little meeting opened she told her
friends the time had come when she must know
the will of God. A time was spent in prayer
and scripture-reading At 0 o'clock some OF
the ministers were compelled to go, but she
felt that they must wait for Gods mercy.
She asked all who were willing, to stay and
pray with her until morning. Eleven of
those present remained. At IL o'clock she
first opened her mouth to pray, and then
after a short silence she recalled the
words of Christ. stretch forth thine arm.n
When she thought of these words the gift OF
prayer came, and she felt the strength come
into her body. After first rising to sitting
posture she stood on her feet for the first time
in sixteen years. Miss Smith attributes her
cure wholly to prayer, and she has determined
to consecrate herself to religious and temper
ance work.
In company with Miss Adelaide Sherman,
of Mountain Lake Park, Nd, Miss Smith has
been in this city two weeks, holding meetings
in connection with the Woman's Christian
Temperance union. They are especially in
charge of the work among railroad men.
Miss Smith and Miss Sherman will now go to
Davenport, and then back to their work on
the Baltimore & Ohio road During the past
two years they have visited seventeen states
and made /, 800 converts,

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. .6-One cold night in
March last, Mr. James P. Harrison, a promi-
nent citizen, in answer to the ring OF his
door-bell, opened the door end found bas-
ket. in which newborn babe was nestled,
but no one else was in sight. As it was the
second case of the same kind in the same
neighborhood within two weeks, it created a
sensation. The babe was found to be drugged
in order to quiet its cries, but proper RENE
dies were applied, when it recovered, and
was next day taken to the hospital Here it
was christened Centraline Ivy: A week
later an old woman, bent with years and suf-
fering, with mortal malady, applied for
admission, which, being granted, she devel-
oped great liking for the founding. The
old woman was visitel one day by her daugh-
ter, a blooming young dress-maker, Miss
Tillie Pearson, who also went into costa
sizes over the child. The old woman, on her
death-bed, few days later, declared she
knew the history of the child, but died before
sue fully told all she knew. 1t has developed
that the old woman was its grandmother and
the young dressmaker was the mother.
Last week Oscar T. Waters, a well-known
cotton buyer, hunted up the fugitive girl and
married her at Union Point, and the couple
admitted the child to be theirs Previous to
the birth of the child he had taken the girl up
to Charlotte, N. c., and introduced her as his
