HAVE MIRACLES CEASED9
Read What Prominent Persons Say
of Dr. Evans.

Colonel J. r. Bowler, proprietor of the
Painters Hotel, Pasadena, says: Two years
ago while in Cleveland, o., DIR. Evans
cured me of paralysis of twenty-three
years standing, also of neuralgia of the
brain and spine, from which l had been
unable to sleep for six weeks. DIR. Ev-
ans relieved me of all pain by a single
magnetic treatment, and by few subse-
quent eatments u ed my paralysis, and
l am still we'll man.
Mr.. D. w. Mcintosh, residing at No.
81 Wilmington street, says: For over
three years l suffered from chronic con-
jestion of the liver, producing such OBJ
stinate constipation as to necessitate tho
daily use of the strongest medicine. DR..
Evans cured me by few magnetic
treatments without single dose of medi-
cine. Mr.. Mcintosh is foreman of the
Brode Block on Spring street near the
Hollenbeck Hotel, where he can also be
seen each day.
DR.. II. d. Seger, an eminent physician
residing at lis Hope street, was almost
totally deaf. DR.. Evans restored his
hearing by these magnetic treatments.
Mrs. K. Weeden, residing at the Vic
toria Hotel, San Pedro street, had suf-
fered for sixteen years from neuralgia
and paralysis of the left arm, could not
even shut her hand. DR.. Evans cured
her by two treatments. May be referred
to. Hundreds of similar cases can be
referred to by calling on DR.. Evans, at
his parlors at the Hollenbeck Hotel or
by attending his lectures at Masonic
Hall, 291a South Spring street, where he

morning from 10 to II o'clock. Consult

Commencing with tomorrow night

The Geneva Cross was written by

men that the attention of the proprietor's
daughter. Gabrielle, was drawn to him.
By reason of this the overseer began to
hate him, for he himself had been prom
ised Gabrielle's hand. A foster sister to
Gabrielle is also in love with the young
Prussian. The overseer gets the
Prussian discharged, but is forced
by Gabrielle to reinstate him.
The Franco-Prussian war breaks out,
and an emissary arrives to remind Riel,
the young Prussian, of his allegiance,
and demands information respecting the
manufacture and sale of arms. Riel re-
fused. He finally discloses his name
and rank to the proprietor of the estab-
lishment, and is accepted both as a SON.
in-law and as partner, greatly to the
disgust of the overseer. The next seen
of Riel and Gabrielle is in Paris, where
she wears the Geneva cross, and gives
her time and attention to her wounded
countrymen. The ex-overseer plots to
bring Riel under the suspicion of Prus-
sian spy. Riel is asked to join in sor-
tie against the Prussians. He avoids
this by escaping with the aid of Gabrielle,
who is arrested and condemned. Their
troubles are finally adjusted.

Waited for a Spiritual Message.

New YORK, July 81 Courtlandt
Palmer and Stephen Pearl Andrews had
an agreement that the one who died first
was, if possible, to communicate from the
spirit land with the survivor. A year
was to be allowed for the phenomenon to
take place, and in case it did not the con-
clusion was to be that the theory of spirit
ualistic intercourse was false. Andrews
was a spiritualist. Palmer was an unbe-
lieving Investigator. He and Andrews,
who was commonly called the Pantarch.
together formed the colloquium, a society
of philosophers of diverse views, to meet
for discussions.
That was the original of the Nineteenth
Century club. of which Palmer was presi-
dent and chief financial sustainer. The
two men were anxious to settle the ques-
ton, while at least one lived, whether the
spirits of the dead communicated with
the living. So they made the agreement
described. Each memorialized a SEN.
tence, and this was, if feasible, to be sent
by the one who died to the one who yet
lived, through some medium hundreds of
miles away. Nobody else was to know
the words.
Andrews died last autumn, and Palm
er, although without faith, waited for the
promised message. 1t did not come.
The Pantarch was frequently represented
as speaking through various mediums
here and there, but he did not mention
Palmer or the compact.
Not long before Courtlandt Palmer's
death he talked with several friends about
the unkept promise by Stephen Pearl
Andrews, and declared that if the expira-
ton of the year did not bring the proof to
the contrary, he should set down spirltu-
alism as a sure delusion. As he died be-
fore the end of the year, and without, 80
far as known, disclosing the test sentence
to anybody, this attempt by two of the
Nineteenth Century club men to ascertain
the truth as to s%piritualism comes to moth
ing satisfactory.
