and The LsasOn II Teaches Every Man and

A well-known lady who lives in Harlem, was
shopping on Broadway one day recently when
a small insect few in her mouth. She instantly
coughed and so expelled it, but not until the
poisonous creature had stung the surface Of
her throat. The poor ladys throat began to
swell and it required the skill of several pbysi-
clans to save her life. The same thing that
occurred to this lady is occurring every minute
to most people. Hundreds of poisonous insects
called germs are being drawn into the body
with every breath These small creatures at
once begin to live upon the body aud cause
what is known as disease. They must be driven
out How much better it is though to kill these
poisonous germs as soon as they come. And
yet there is only one thing will do this and
that is pure whiskey. Prof AusIin Flint OF
Bellevue College says: 1.-THE judicious use Of
alcoholic stimulants is one of the strikin !.
characteristics of progress in the practice of
medicine during the last half century" Prof.
Henry Mott Ph. D., F. G. s.. saws: "By most

GREAT EXCITEMENT
At. 500 Penn avenue. Crowds Of
People Visit DR.. Smith. People
Made to Throw Their
Clutches Away.
Marvellous Cures Made Without
Medicine.

1t is seldom necessary to comment upon facts
or upon that which is truly wonderful. yet one
cannot refrain from expressing profound ad-
miration for the skill which is raising so many
sufferers from beds of pain and distress and
restores them to health and vigor. It scarcely
seems credible that such marvellous results
can be obtained by the laying on Of hands, and
we should have been 10th to believe these
wonderful reports of DR.. Smiths re-
markable cures only for the fact that
we have BEEN an eye witness and see
ing, you know, is believing. What we see
with our own eyes we are bound to believe.
The following cases treated by the Drs Smith
at the GraSd Opera House and in their parlors,
at No. 502 lNaSln avenue, speak for themselves.
Mr.. John Foley, who resides at Millvale was
taken with a terrible pain in his right shoulder
upward of five months ago. The attack came
on suddenly. like shock of paralysis. The
arm became useless in few moments time.
He could not use the hand or move finger.
A short time after the attack he began to ex-
perience pain in the shoulder. The pain in
creased in severity for a number Of
days, when it was discovered that there
was an accumulation of pus in the
shoulder joint. Mr.. Foley applied to doctor,
who opened the shoulder with the knife.
Large quantities of pus was discharged at the
time and fistula formed, which continued to
discharge a thin. acrid pus. In this helpless
and hopeless condition he applied to the Drs.
Smith, the magnetic physicians, at 5O2 Penn
avenue, ana was cured perfectly. He has re-
gained the use of his hand and arm. and is now
well and happy. John Mcdonald suffered ten
years from sciatica. Mr.. Mcdonald is an old
gentleman, and was helpless for several years.
He was cured on the public stage by one mag
netic treatment Scores of cases of loss Of
voice have been cured on the public
stage by one treatment, as well as
cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis, and, in fact, all kinds Of
disease. All that the doctor does is to apply
his hands to the affected parts for few mo-
ments. when the cure is completed.
DR.. Smith cures all forms of female COM
plants without the use of instruments or ex-
posure of the person. He also cures piles and
rupture without the use of the knife, OF pain
to the patient nor detention from business.
He treats and cures cancers in less time and
with less pain than by any other known
method.
DIR. Smith is permanently located at 502 Penn
avenue, where everybody can go from A. NJ.
till P. NJ. The doctor eonsults free and cures
after all other means fail. He treats every
form of disease known to humanity. Go to
5O2 Penn avenue and consult him if you wish
to get well. APPS

A WONDERFUL LAKE.

A Picturesque Body of Water, Surrounde d
by Snow Capped Mountains.
San Francisco Post.I
One of the most picturesque and remark
able bodies of water in the world is Henry's
Lake in Idaho. 1t is situated on the dome
Of the continent in depression in the
Rocky Mountains called Targee's Pass. 1t
has an area of 40 square miles, and all
around it rise snow-capped peaks, some of
them being the highest of the continents s
backbone. In the lake is a floating island
about 300 feet in diameter. 1t has for its
basis mat of roots so dense that it sup
ports large trees and heavy growth of un-
derbrush.
These roots are covered with several feet
of rich soil. The surface is solid enough to
support the weight of horse anywhere.
and,there are places where house could be
built. The wind blows the island about the
lake. and it seldom remains "a hours In the
same place.

A Kansas Man Has a Unique Device for

There is man in Kansas who expects to
rise very high in the world and whose am
bitlon is to reach the very upper circles in
deed. The machine consists of horizontal
frame resembling folding campbell with an
awning over it, and having in front, wheel
barrow wise, a concern looking like screw
propeller. 1t is called an aero-plane air.
ship for navigating space. The aeronaut
lies, face downward, between the canvas
covered side-rails so that his hands may
conveniently reach two transverse cranked
shafts, thus rotating a propeller-wheel
journaled at the front of the machine.
The wind currents are expected to assist
the lifting and propelling power of the fly
ing-machine. During its passage through
the air over the camp of an enemy the oc-
cupant can do his painful duty to his coun-
try by dropping hand grenades, fre-bombs,
and things into their camps, fortified places,
cities, shipping, etc.

A GAME OF FREEZE OUT.

Subject of Grade Crossings.

Subject of Grade Crossings.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, April 23.-There was con-
siderable debate on the grade crossings bill
when 1t came up in the Senate on second read
ing to-day. There is feeling among the oppo-
sition that the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
has its tracks elevated to Broad street in Phil
adelphia, is pushing the measure to keep the
Reading and Baltimore and Ohio roads out.
The bill was amended in some few particulars,
and the following new section added on motion
of Senator Reyburn.
Section 4-Where railroad, hereafter con-
structed and operated by steam, desires to
cross street at grade, or where a city of the
grade across such railroad, either the railroad
Court of Equity for authority to make such
crossing, and it shall be the duty of such court
to examine and inquire into and ascertain the
facts in reference thereto and if it shall ap-
pear that it is not reasonably practicable to
avoid grade crossing, or that the avoidance
of such grade crossing is not necessary to the
public safety, such court may authorize such
grade crossing, and define by their decree the
mode of such crossing and impose such condi-
tons thereon as, in its judgment, the public
safety may require"
Senator Ross offered an amendment to per-
init terminal railroads to put down grade cross
ings where they were absolutely necessary to
connect with other lines. 1t was voted down
by the close vote of l9 to Is. The Allegheny
Senators voted for it.

PALMER FOR PUBLIC PRINTER.
IntimatiOns That the President Has Made
Up His Mind at Last.

Up His Mind at Last.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
WASHINGTON, April 23.--It comes very
straight from the White House this evening
that the President has decided to appoint
General Frank Palmer, late Postmaster of
Chicago, to the position of Public Printer.
If this be true, some other place Will doubt
less be found for Meredith, also of Chicago,
who had been promised the place of Chief
of the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing,
as two Chicago men would hardly be ap-
pointed to two such desirable places so
nearly similar in character.
General Palmer is very highly spoken of
by all who know him as eminently we'll
fitted for the place. If he be appointed he
will be known as the favorite of Private
Secretary Halford, as the latter has been
urging Palmer for the place on account of
their old associations on the staff of the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Editor Wallace, of the Chester Times,
partner of August Donath, who Is backed
for public printer by nearly the whole State
of Pennsylvania, called on the President
to-day and made strong presentation of
the business and technical abilities of
Donath. The President listened well, but
said nothing, as usual.

judgment. Ex-Postmaster Palmer, of Chi

HARRISBURG, April 23.-The manual
training bill, on which commission of five
learned gentlemen labored at various inter-
walls since the last session of the Legislature,
was indefinitely postponed tonight by vote
of 81 to 79, after the author of the bill. Colonel
Bean, of Montgomery and others had spoken
in favor of it Its opponents in debate were
Mr.. Lytle, of Huntington, Mr.. Thomas, of
Warren, and Mr.. Cole of Adams, who opposed
it because, as framed, it would benefit the GEN.
tiers of population at the expense of the rural
districts. Mr.. Fow, of Philadelphia, opposedit
because there is authority under the act of 1854
to establish manual training schools. Phila-
delphia has one now under the authority of that
law
Mr.. Marland, of Allegheny, Dr. Reed, of In
diana. Mr. Roper, of Lehigh. and Mr.. Billings

Their talk might be summed up in the words of
