Sorosis and the Mind-Cure.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. Nov 7-Sorosis has new hobby,
and is distracted by it in more ways than one.
The controlling members are enthusiastic con-
verts to the belief that the mnd-cure is a scen-
tifc verify, by means of which nearly all
diseases can be cured through the operations of
the mind, unaided by medicine or other than
mental treatment, This doctrine had come no
nearer to New York than Boston, where it orig
mated, until Mrs. Anna Randall Diehll began a
sort of evangelism in advocacy of it. She was
known and esteemed by the women of Sorosis,
and on her arrival in this city they gave dinner
and reception in her honor. On that occasion
she described, in careful speech, the theory
and practice of the mnd-cure the substance of
it being that the ills of mankind will usually
disappear as soon as the sufferers are convinced
that nothing is the matter with them 1t is dis
tinct from the faith-cure, and is not religious at
all. In subsequent interviews, Mrs DehH fully
explained the subject and several of the most
distinguished Woman's Rights women cured
themselves of real or imagined sickness. Now
Mrs. Dehll has opened an Office for the regular
working of the mndcure She charges fees,
and is in the thing as a matter of business.
Sorosis is consequently torn by the knowledge
that their organization has been used to boom q
selfish undertaking. Their faith in the mind cure
is not disturbed however and the craze seems
to be we'll started on a run in New York

A NOVEL CASE.
A Woman, Disguised as a Man, Operates a
SalOOn-How Her Sex Was Discovered.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Nov. Some two years
ago a small-faced individual came to this city
and started a saloon, which was conducted sue
'cessfully, and returned the owner handsome
profit Later the same individual, who was
known to the business men of Kansas City by
the name of Frank Gray, opened grocery
store at Seventh and Wyandotte streets, and
soon secured paying patronage During the
time Frank Gray dealt largely in real estate,
and the investments he made showed him to be
possessed of great business ability. Recently,
however, he became involved in a
lawsuit. and the sensational discovery
was made that Frank Gray was a
woman named Mrs Mary B. Walcott. This
revelation brought forth still others, and it is
now learned that Mrs. Walcott has been en-
gagged in thus masquerading man for fifteen
years. and has married daughter living in this
city. During her dual existence, Mrs. Walcott
has smiled upon the ladies and transacted bust
ness like man, but when she visited Columbus,
o., the home of Mrs. Walcott, she went dressed
in clothes becoming her sex. While she was in
this city, however, her disguise was complete
and her voice so masculine that no one suspected
that she woman. No reason is assigned
ror her peculiar action in thus Disgusting herself
The discovery was made through the medium of
"a divorce suit, brought by man named Green,

Duke is a brother-n-law of the late General
Skobeleff, and he would undoubtedly work out
the Russian interest in the Balkans If he had
the chance.
Mystry Lascelles, the British agent at Sofia,
at present accompanies Prince Alexander every
where he goes 1t is reported that he does this
under special instructions from her Majesty's
government, and that his conduct is accepted By
the Bulgarians and Roumeians as a mark of
Englands support of the union. The Prince of
Wales, who has In recent years become very
prudent, holds entirely aloof from any
participation in the Bulgarian affair, and does
not permit himself to be swayed by family in
fiuences on either the German or Russian
side of the house He apparently takes the
ground that the position of his relative, Prince
Alexander, depends entirely on political consid
eratlons, and by them alone it will be finally ad-
justed.
1t is difficult to ascertain Just what
Germany's position is towards Prince
Alexander. 1t is reported, though that Prince
Bismarck and Count Kanoky the Austro- Hun
garlan Minister of Foreign Affairs, have agreed
to maintain him in power If he will submit TO
the decisions of the Balkan conference. Austria
will strongly oppose the candidacy of the Duke
of Leutchenberg for the Bulgarian throne if
Russla succeeds in accomplishing the deposition
of Prince Alexander.
Dispatches from Constantinople, tonight,
state that Prime Minister Salisbury has sent
final instructions to Mr.. White, the British rep
resentatve at the Balkan conference, ordering
him to cooperate with the other delegates in
securing an invitation to Prince Alex
ander to restore the status QUO as
a preliminary basis for definite
settlement Of the Bulgarian Roumelian matter,
and afterwards to advocate the necessity OF Civ
ing formal sanction to the demonstrated wishes
of the Roumelians by confirming the union of
Roumelia with Bulgaria under the rule of Prince
Alexander, with separate administrations for
each state as they desire them.
The Balkan conference resumed its sitting to-
day. 1t is reported that NJ Neldoff the Rus
sian ambassador, intimated that Russia will
withdraw her demand for the deposition of
Prince Alexander. After the sitting Baron
Calico. the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, ex-
pressed the conviction that war would be avoided
if the Bulgarians would accept the decisions of
the conference.
The Journal de st. Petersburg says the Bull
garian movement is undeservng of sympathy.
because it is violation of protocols, and not
revolution. A union of Bulgaria and Eastern
Roumelia is impossible without re-opening the
whole Eastern question. Bulgaria must return
to the status quo ante. The Journal admits
that European commission might revise the
Roumelian status. 1t says that most of the
Powers disposed to restore the status quo,
and hopes that the Balkan conference will be
unanimous.

GOV. HILL TALKS.
The Recent Election Was Triumph of Demo-
Gratis, and Outsiders Are Not Wanted.

New YORK, Nov. THE World publishes this
morning an interview with Governor Hill, from
which the following is taken:
Governor don't you think the recent victory
in the State is purely Democr attic one"
Eyes, do most emphatically. There can be
no doubt about that. l hear of many have
been Republicans and independents who voted
for me, but they did so with the perfect under
standing that l was a Democrat and without
asking to dictate my policy to control all the
Offices at Albany in the event of my success.
The victory in New York means that the Demo
Gratis are In the majority in this State and the
people will not be dissatisfied with thorough
Democratic administration in all that it implies
4 do not think it is necessary for the
Democratic party to ask the advice and
consent of the Republicans in making removals
from Office, appointments, or in shaping its pol
ley. AS l said. the Democratic party owes its
elevation to power to Democrats, and / do not
think 1t is necessary or essential to our success
to try and win the approval OF Republicans or
socalled independents and mugwumps. The
Democrats are the ones to be pleased, it seems
to me- l do not wish to place myself in the atti-
tude of criticising President Cleveland. The
Democrats have been out of power for long
time, and perhaps have become little rusty in
managing the affairs of the government All
that will be changed soon-is changing now, I
believe. The Republicans are anxious to give
ADVICE, and to run our party for US. They have
always appeared willing to do that, but think we
snail get along just as well without their advice
or interference. The people have elected u.s.
Why should we apologize to the Republicans, or
to any one, for taking hold and performing
our duty9 | confess 1 see no reason
for it. l notice in the recent appointment of the
Clvll-service Commissioners some ono hastens
to remark that the man appointed chair
man of the Commission was recommend
ed by Chief-justice Waite. Undoubtedly the
appointee is good capable man, but where
was the necessity of getting him Endorsed by a

Democrats in some way accountable to the
Republicans for everything they do. l don't
think the people expect it. and don't think
Democrats are pleased with it, But probably
when the Democrats have been in power longer,
we will learn to go on managing our affairs on
our own responsibility 1 think the election in
this State guarantee from the people that they
will sustain us in such course"

Effect of the Proclamation.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 7.-Since the Presi-

there will be end to the anti Chinese riots on
Puget's Sound. There are still in Tacoma about
fifty Chinese, most of them employed as serv-
ants. They remain indoors day and night
afraid to venture in the streets
because of threats of assassination.
Nearly all the Chinese have been driven out
and their houses burned. A feature of the ex-
pulsion of the Chinese from Tacoma was that
the mayor took prominent part in the move
ment, and the Ledger, which is a leading news
paper there Endorsed strongly the rioters action
and counseled the steps which were subsequently
taken. The Ledger is said to have refused to
publish protests against lawnessless over the sig
natures of the writer's and used all its energy to
intimidate those who were not in sympathy with
