Her Kind of Faith.

There, for instance, is that story Of the
German old maid who had petitiored The
authorities to remove great hill from
in front Of her house, in order that she
might get an uno5structed view of the
river Rhine. The authorities were DISC

move the hill. The old maid pleaded,
but quite in vain. But ehc was a nious,

and she resolved to try it on the great,
troublesome hill that cut off her view of
tho beautiful Rhine. She decided upon
night of prayer that the mounta;s
might be removed, with implicit conf
dence that her prayer would be an
swered. All night long she wrestle,l

4 Test Medium. .

Dr. Louis SchIesinger, the oldest test
medium in the world, and publisher o.
the Carrier Dove, arrived in the city
yesterday. \ reporter for the ARGUS
met Drs. ConOver and Glennan on theiI
way to the Model House to call on the
medium, and accepted an invitation from
those gentlemen to accompany them.
The medium explained that there were
times when he could not have commune
cation with those in the spirit world, and
when such was the case his fee, three
dollars, was not asked. Upon the re-
quest Cf the medium, DIR. Glennan wrote
the names OF five persons, two of whom
are in the land beyond" on slips OF
paper, which he folded up and placed in
q hat. Theso he handed singly to the
medium, who, without opening them,
ing or dead. He did practically the
same thing with Or. Canaver, going so
far as to tell him his mothers maiden
name. The test was most wonderful and
certainly mysterious. To Mr.. Miller,
the attorney, he handed the names OF
his brothers living and dead. This case
was remarkable from the fact Of his hav-
ing brother living who bears the same
name as one who died years ago. The
doctor also cures various diseases il one

taste for tobacco instantly. He isa won

ever It may pc called. He treats the

House for a few days, and to those who
are skeptical, we would say call on

ANOTHER SEIZURE.
The Schooner ,rt""ts ,hc Victim.


Among the passengers to arrive on
the North Pacific from Victoria, yester-
I,y morning was Mr.. Chas. Swanson, =
seaman attached 10 the revenue cutter
Rush. Being informed that Mr.. Swan
son was the seaman who had been plaC-
81 ON board the scaler Minnie, 4 repre-
sentative oi the ARGUS sought that gen
tlemau out and cleaned from him the
following facts:
On July I5yh the revenue cutter hush
sai,ed the British schooner Minnie, OF
Victoria. for violating section 1906 OF the
United States revised statutes. The yes
sal WAS seized in latitude 5j.ll, north
longitude l65. - west. After the capture,
= the Minnie WAS examined and 4l6 seal
skins were found on board which We're
transferred 10 the Rush.
Mr.. Swanson was then placed in
charge OF the schooner as a special officer.
His instrustions were that he was to pro-
? ceed on board Oi the schooner and as
Eume charge OF the vessel, officers and
crew, twenty one in all. The navigation
of the vessel was reserved to Captain
Jacobson and Mr.. Swanson was not to
interfere with him unless he became
convinced that he was proceeding to
some other port OF destination than Sitka,
in which event he was authorized to as
sumo full charge.
When everything was in readiness
Captain Jacobson was directed to make
the best OF his way to Sitka and upon
arrival at that port Mr.. Swanson was di-
reCted TO report in person to the L. s.
district attorney. To that officer he was
10 deliver The schooner, her outfit and
the person OF Captain jacobson and Mate
TO-
liberty.
Upon being informed OF the nature OF
the instructions, Captain Jacobson said,
Every well, we will proceed to Sltka. ="
Upon the morning of the 10th, on COM
ing on deck 81 noticed the crew lowering
eight canoes and one boat for the pur-
pose catching seal. ! protested against
ihis, but Captain jacobson SAID that as
the Rush had taken all of the seal skins
that he had on board, he must catch
more" Mr.. Swanson SAYS that the in
dams composing the crew were disposed
to object ts catching any mare seal that
thew were under arrest and that the
catch would do them no good. The cap
tain secretly informed the indians that if
they would catch seals, he would take
them all to Victoria, but if they refused
lac would 60 TO Sitka, whare they wuuld
ali be put in jail and eventually have to
work their passage home to Victoria in
their canoes.
From July 10th to August 18th the
crew caught AS seals, and on August Il
the captain shaped his course for Nic-
toria. Mr.. Swanson objcrted to this, but
il was of no avail The captain inform
