Minister Phelps Arrived.

New York, April 14.-United States
Minister Phelps,at theIOourt of st. James,
arrived on the Allen line steamer yester-
day.
The Tribune, in an iterview with Minis.
ter Phelps, has the following:
English people are beginning to
think" he said, shat free trade would be
bad for them, on account of the almost
certainty of Industrious and enterprising
Americans driving them out of the mar
ket altogether. The English undoubtedly
admire Mr.. Cleveland, but not because he
is in favor of free trade-for, as rule,
people over there know little and care
little, whether a man is democrat or
republican"
He spoke of Mr.. Blaine, who was re-
ceived in London with the most marked
attention. Of Chamberlain, he (Phelps),
said he was destined to play great part
In English politics, and man whom he
much admired, and of Parnell, as clear
tactician and able speaker, and man
whom he never met in society, because
there are so many people in society in
London, you know, one may go long
time without meeting one. AT all events,
Mr.. Parnell is not much in London, when
parliament is not sitting.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-04-19

Flower and his claims, because he oc-
oasionally visits Texas professionally; be-
cause he is now building an enormous
sanltarium in Boston, said to be the most
magnificent in the world, where he will
gather, through his practice, the sick from
all parts of the earth. If the claims made
for him were true, we feel that the sick of
the world should know it; if false, they
should be exposed. This publication may
cause many of the doctors patients to get
letters of inquiry, and we trust that for
the interest of the sick they will answer
them as cheerfully as we publish these
statements, for life and health are sweet
to the dying everywhere.
We might give the testimony of nearly
two hundred Others, but space forbids.
The statements of a thousand others could
not strengthen this array of the highest
testimony attainable in our common
wealth.
To sum up the whole matter in few
words, the following are the facts:
THAT Doctor Flowers patients in the
state of Texas are more numerous than
perhaps those of any physician living in
the state, though he lives 1900 miles
away, on the eastern seaboard.
2-That he treats and cures diseases 10
a short aud seemingly miraculous way,
and that his greatest cures are those given
up as hopelessly incurabls and at deaths
door.
3.-That his method of examination is
different from that of any other physi-
clan; that he possesses strong and clear
perceptions, and can discover a PERSONS
disease and the primary cause of the dis
ease as he would read an open book, and
being thus able to detect disease, there
can be but little or no speculation in his
treatment of it.
At would seem that, at the hands of
this great physician of the east, nearly
every disease is durable; that the most
malignant diseases are durable, and that,
in his case, though at deaths gates, they
are safe.
3 5.-That while Doctor Flowers charges
are high, running into hundreds and
thousands of dollars, aud, in some in
stances, into tens of thousands, he is,
nevertheless, the cheapest physician the
sick and dying ever consulted.
One gentleman said to the writer: 81
paid Doctor Flower $4,000 to doctor me
"a plB price, ula you say! yes, but 1t
was cheap; he cured me of hopeless case
of paralysis, and now my time is worth to
me many times that every year; and, be-
sides,I am restored to my family in health.
Doctor Flower has made two or three
visits to Texas the last two years; and we
have learned from some of his patients
that he will visit few points in Texas in
May. This will be the only opportunity
of consulting the doctor, short of his own
home, and an opportunity which will
likely decide the life or death of hundreds.

The New Town Of Archer.

ST. Louis, April 14,-General George I.

PARIS, April 14.-Meetings of the elec.
tors we're held last night at Lecatsau and
Bazbeouck, department of LIE Nord. The
meeting at Lecateau rejected the resolu-
ton favoring the candidacy of General
Boulanger. Both meetings vera stormy.
NJ Paul Deroulde, in letter to the papers,
invites the school teachers to support
General Boulanger, whose name, he says,
means neither a dictatorship nor
war, but Independent and self respecting.
The peace of France, he declares,
cannot exist under an absurd regime of
the pseudo monarchial constitution of
1875. 1t is an unworthy argument to say
that Germany would declare war if Gene
raj Boulanger were elected president. He
believes that Russia could not do other
wise than favor Frances will.
The Gaulois says that General Boulanger
will visit the department of the Nord,
after the election, which takes place to-
morrow.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS,

CITY or MEXICO, Jan. 20.-Public indig-
nation has been aroused in the state of
Puebla over the assassination, within a
few months, in a remote part of the state,
of several Free Masons. whose politics and
religious ideas We're repugnant to the ia
natical clericals. Free Masons throughout
the republic support the reelection of Gen
eral DiaZ, and this fact partly explains
such acts as those which have shocked the
respectable and law abiding citizens of
Puebla The clericals in the district men
toned have declared that they would kill
every Free Mason. 1t is probable that the
criminals will be severely punished.
1t is reported that a monster petition
against allowing bull fights in the federal
district will shortly be presented to the
government.
There is a strong sentiment here against
these spectacles, and most of the daily
papers attack them as barbarous. In spite
of this the fights are attended by people
from the first ranks of society as we'll as
by the masses.
1t is reported that rich find of gold has
been made at Euanaiuato.
The points of divergence which may
arise during the negotiations for the loan
of SIC, 800, 900 have not yet been arranged,
and it is reported that the Berlin bankers
and the government are even further apart
than they were n few days ago.
Next month the mails from points in
the United States east of the Mississippi
will come to this capital via the Inter
national railway. From twenty-four to
thirty-siX hours can be saved by this route.
Very cold weather is being experienced
in the table land cities, and heavy norther
is blowing at various places.

THE FEMALE SWINDlER.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 20-The sheriff will,
tomorrow, sell ont tia handsome dwelling
and contents belonging to Mrs. Celia
Hendricks, at 1921 Girrard avenue, under
an execution for debts. The creditors are
several tradesmen and retail firms. Mrs.
Hendricks is the woman whom Miss Mary
A. Brown of Norristown, loaned at vari-
Gus time $4,000 upon representations that
Mrs Hendricks had n fortune of 500 900
locked up in the hands of an agent in
New York As the inveStiga
ton of the transactions which Mrs. Hem
bricks had with other cOnfiding acquaint-
ances progresses new victims develop. and
it is stated up to tonight creditors whose
claims aggregate over Sl00,eO have been
located. The amounts which those people
entrusted TO the woman range from 5000
to 81 600 and in each case the money was
given willingly upon the representation
made by Mrs. Hendricks that she had a
large fortune which was for the time
out of her reach. In one or two
instances she exhibited a paper, which
purported to be, and which she declared
was, a bond of the United States govern
ment of the amount of $50 900 for he pay
ment of the mythical legacy, and in this
manner reassured her victims. Mrs. Hen
bricks has disappeared and her husband
and son profess not to know her where
aboutS. They also say they did not know
she was engaged in any such practices as
are charged against her. Some of her vic
tins still maintain confidence In her.
