face grew livid with suppressed rage as the
knave OF diamonds looked up into his face
from beside his deuce and trey. The cards
to decide who was winner were now TO be
drawn and excitementran high. Side bets
OF enormous amounts were made, and in
anticipation Of an easy victory Gooding
treated the crowd TO the best whisky in the
house. Trevt was wild. His broad
shoulders shook as he struggled to keep
his rage within bounds.
"llury up and settle it," he said husk-
lily.
'"All right, Trevit," replied Gooding.
"I'll either make a flush or pair and
beat yer. Hadn't yur better call in the
Rose and interduce her TO her future hus-

AN EXCITING MOMENT.
"Draw, d-n yer, or III put or hole

drawing his revolver. The gun was
snatched away from him, and with ban
tcrng air, Goodlng picked up the eight
spot OF diamonds, and Trevits face lit up.
There was hope. His arm shot out and
he snatched the next card from the pack.
II was the ace Of spades. Holding the

THE FICTION OVERRULED.

There Was an Element of Chance in
the Card Distribution scheme Car
ried ON by Captain Ford, the Adver-
Using Agent-Commissfone Wright
Holds Him for Trial.
There were many persons seated in the
United States court room yesterday noon
awaiting the decision of United States Com
missioner Wright on the motion made by
counsel for G. G. Ford, accused of Illegally
using the mails, to have the complaint dis
missed.
The evidence in the case was all put in Sat
urday last.
Commissioner Wright's opinion expressed
In giving the decision was as follows: The
object of the statute is to prevent the use OF
the United States mails for lotteries, so-called
gift concerts or similar enterprises, Offering
prizes concerning schemes devised and in
tended to deceive and defraud the public for
the purpose of obtaining money under false
pretenses. The government claimed the adj
vertisement of the West Haven Publishing
company was that of a lottery, and the mali
ing of package of cards in pursuance of
that advertisement was violation of the
statute. A careful reading of the ad-
vertisement might show that the purchase
of the CARDS was independent OF the chance
of sharing in the distribution of the prizes,
but the wording of the advertisement IL this
respect is ingenious and calculated to de-
eeive. The ordinary reader would doubtless
consider that the sending of the thirty cents
and postage was condition precedent to the
sharing in the distribution of the prize Of
fered. That such was the case is shown by
the fact that of the thousands of answers re-
ceived all contained the thirty cents in post
age required by the advertisement. The in
tention of the scheme was undoubtedly to
sell these cards for more than they would
ordinarily bring and this was brought about
by appealing to the universal pas
sion for playing at games OF
chance. 1t was scheme for the
distribution OF prizes by chance, the chance
being that if the sender was one of the first
six forwarding correct answers he would re-
ceive the prize. therefore consider that the
scheme was lottery and the sending of the
cards through the mails was violation Of
the statute, and L shall override the motion
to dismiss the complaint. No evidence was
offered as to the value of the package sent
through the mails and as to whether that is
material point. No opinion is expressed al
this point"
Captain Ford's counsel said they had made
no preparation to go on with the case, anG
after a consultation the case was adjourned
until ThursdaV at 10 o'clock

THE AGE OF MIRACLES.
Rev. DIR. Reed Does Not Think Fait
curna a ,.n RmnncInun

Rev. DIR. Reed Does Not Think Faith
Cures are Emcactous.
Rev. Dr. Reed of the Trinity Methodist
church addressed the ministers meeting at
the Center church chapel yesterday morning.
His subject was "Faith Cures; are they
Wrought and are they Miraculeus?" His pa
per was listened to by about thirty clergy
men.
A faith cure is a work of healing, wrought
specially, directly by Almighty God, wrought
without the aid of medicine or medical skill.
In some cases the elders of the church are
called to assist; in others they are not. In
some cases annointment of oil is used; in
others it is rest. The authority of St. James
is taken by the faith curers.
"But these cases are not miraculous. Since
the time when Jesus was upon this earth
there is no record of any miracles being per-
formed. The Bible contains no record of a
person born blind being given the power of
sight, nor has any person born deaf been
given the power of hearing, nor is there any
record of lost limb being restored. The
only cures that are performed by these faith
cure physicians are in cases of nervous dis
eases, such as rheumatism, paralysis and
nervous prostration."
He cited q number OF cases where cures
were effected.
"For every cure performed by the advo-
Gates of the faith cure theory" said DIR. Reed
in conclusion, 'tyou can find parallel case,
the cure in which was effected by the infu-
ence of the mind upon the body or by ex-
element. But as yet there is no record of
any organic disease being cured by either of
these agencies. They are chiefly valuable
in cases of nervous ailments"
Gases can be cited where the will has acted
upon the body to heal disease. Such cases
can be found to match all the cases of faith
cure. The bad effects of this doctrine were
alluded to by DR.. Reed, who concluded that
prayer and faith were no doabt efficacious
and to what extent we cannot tell, but that
the means of medical skill should be used in
conjunction with the other. lie interpreted
the use of the word oil in James as to be UNI
stood as referring to medicines. The paper
was very interesting contribution on
topic which is at present exciting much
popular interest.
The paper caused lengthy discussion of
the benefits of the faith cure theory. in which
the majority of theclergymen present partici-
pated Many believed it to be efficaeious,
while others thought it to be extremely harm
full, and many cases were cited in corrobora
ton of these beliefs. In one case in particu-

IMPURITIES
, -----r-K

The question naturally arises in the minds
of thoughtful consumers: Of what does this
iupu1ity consist? In the case Of the first
named powder there has boon recently given
the result of an analysis made by Prof. G. F.
Chandler, of Columbia College, late member
of the New York State Board of Health,
which partially supplies the missing infor
nation, and as the manufacturers of this par
tieular powder are continuously calling for
the publication of all the ingredients used in
baking powders, there can be no objection to
its statement here. Among the impurities
Prof. Chandler found Cleveland's powder to
contain large amount of Rochelle Salts, 8. 40
per cent. of lime, with alumina, starch and
water, in quantities not stated. Alum is a
substance declared by the highest authorities
to be hurtful. If the balance of this residuun
in all the powders named is made up largely
Of alum, as it is known to be in some, the

Once a year the great life insurance COM
panies amaze the public by a statement of
their worldwide operations and their i'm

Life Insurance company calls attention to a
premium income for 1887 of over eighteen
million dollars, payments to policy-holders
of over nine millions and an increase in net
assets of over eight millions. The assets of
the company now exceed eighty-three mil
lion dollars. If it be asked-why so much
money on hand? the answer is, SO many peo-
pie have share in it. The company is pure
ly mutual and the membership exceeds one
hundred thousand. This shows the COM
