onsunday night three thousand persons
crowded into hall in Brooklyn to hear q
charlatan "preach" and see him heal sick
persons. He proposed to cure all ailments
Oithe flesh simply by the laying on Of his
lily white hands. 1t appears that many Of
the people present not have any faith in his
pretensions, as his marvellous cures were
tdiculed. He called on some of his "vic'
tins to testify. One man said that the
doctor" had cured his wife by the use oi
handkerchief which this great healer
Of ills had given her. Now 1t was
the doctors" turn and he improved the
opportunity by explaining the virtue and
powers OF the healing cambrics, which he
sold for $40 apiece. The audience only
laughed when he made this announcement.
No one bought bis miracle working hand
kerchieis. The people are easily fooled
sometimes, but there have been occasions
when they have drawn the line, and
charmed handkerchieis for $40 was right
on the line this time. 81. 4

As office brokers: tl'' II
An example OF the mysterious and un-
derhand way in which these frauds work
recently came to the knowledge OF Il re-
reporter OF this Journal through an ac'
quaintance, to whom the lady related the
tacts. Losing her place in the Census Office,
and unable 10 obtain another, she WAS led

advertisements, to insert the following in a
morning paper in the early part oil last
week: s{...ll-t -t,E.

With some misgivinss. the lady called
soon after the hour mentioned. The bell
was answered by q man, who Immediately
closed both front and inner doors, shutting
them in a dark vestibule and standing
silent until she timidly explained her err

1t was q gentleman who had advertised, and
led the way into an almost equally dark par

nndertone, as II afraid Of being overheard.
His statement was TO tho effect that he had
q friend from Colorado In the Interior De-
parlinent, who was about to resign Tor
the purpose OF prosecuting land claims,
and that the place was obtainabie for an
other. He then invited her down stairs to

she told him she could not answer the bell

He then excused himself on the ground OF
