but changed my mind and came to
Buffalo to the Invalids' Hotel and
Worlds Dispensary. / came via
Omaha, Council Bluffs, Chicago and
Detroit, then on the Canada side to
London and Hamilton, in Ontario,
and from the Canada side on to Buff
falo. We could see the falls from
the car window. The lake and whlrl-
pool looked nice in the evening sun
set.
The Invalids' Hotel is famous in
strtution, and | am not sorry went
there. | became favorably impress
ed with its good qualities through Mr..
John Easley and Mr.. p. Murphy, Of
your county. The physicians of the
place are Drs. V. r. Pierce, Smith,
Wade and Callahan, whom l am ac-
quainted with professionally. The
treatment room is fitted up with all
modern improvements, such as rub
bing and kneading administered by
machinery driven by steam power.
Electricity is used on those who are
nervous. On the day of my arrival
there could not walk without help.
My nurse said she never saw any one
improve as l have. After three
weeks treatment | went out to see
the sights-all places of interest; saw
the cyclorama of Jerusalem, circular
picture of the Holy Land. The Star
of the East stood over the place where
Jesus was born. There was Mary,
his mother, the wise men of the East
with frankincense and myrrh, then
Jesus teaching on the mount, the last
supper and his betrayal, the crucitix-
ion with the thieves on each side, the
darkness of the heavens, the terrible
look of despair on Judas Iscariot's
face, then another scene where he
threw himself over precipice. The
resurrection was fine. The heavens
opened, and angels descending to roll
away the stone, the weeping women
at the tomb, the ascension and the
camp fires of the wandering tribes
were very natural, as were also the
camels, women carrying water on
their heads, sc. This work is done
on cloth, in circular form, and exhib-
tied at the top of large building ar
tiicially lighted.
| came to Chautauqua on the 29th
Like the place; had my first walk on
soil in six months, and it was reaI
pleasure. Walking on the pavements
in Buffalo is very tiresome. The first
evening l attended a lecture given
by Bishop Vincent. 1t was grand
. He is a good orator, and is one of the
founders of the literary society known
as the Chautauqua Scientific Circle
Mr.. Miller is another divine and foun
der. The Sunday lesson leaves are
written by Bishop Vincent, HI
chains the audience until the end
His subject was, "Why was Chautau
qua Organized?" He SAID that we
want place where every one cat
pursue a course of studies and have ;
summer picnic at the same time. Ev
: cry attraction thought could inven
f in the way of advancement is hert
for all. No class distinctions. w,
all meet on equal terms. Last weel
