pr. Damon at the Atheneum.

Yesterday at 2:3O the Atheneum was we'll filled with an excellent audience to see and hear Dr. Damon. Undoubtedly many went out of mere curiosity, but they went away with the knowledge that vital magnetism is a most wonderful power for the alleviation of human suffering when rightly applied. One invalid after another was taken upon the stage, and in full view of every one present were quickly relieved of all suffering. Several who had been lame for years were made to walk with perfect ease. Four persons who were quite deaf could hear whisper in a few moments.
 The most surprising case of all was that of an old man all drawn over with severe
 pains across his stomach, caused by a large bunch or tumor. He said he had suffered with this over six years and had tried many physicians, without relief. Dr. Damon treated him for perhaps five minutes, ther asked him to hunt about for the tumor He did so for some minutes, but could no
 find it. It had gone, together with tn, | agony.
 These free clinics will be continued fo

THE TARIFF BILL,

Explanation of a Troublesome Ques-
 i1on-Thc Assistant Secretary,s Com
 struction of Section Fifty.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. GA large number of letters and telegrsms have been re- eeived at the treasury department in re- gard to the new tariff law which went into effect to-day, and Assistant Secretary Spaulding and General Appraiser Tiche- nor devoted the entire day to their con sideration. One of the most troublesome questions was in regard to the construc- ton of section 30 of that law, reading as follows:
 Section 50-That on and after the day when this law shall go into effect all goods, wares and merchandise previously imported for which no merchandise previously entered without payment of duty and under bond for warehousing, trans
 o ET SF op upon the entry or the withdrawal thereof after merchandise deposited in bond in any public or posted prior to the first of October, 1890, may be withdrawn for consumption at any time prior to February l, 1891, upon p the Raymsns Of Of of this act. Provided further, That when duties are based upon the weight of merchandise de- shs be sna upon the weight of such merchandise at the time of it's withdrawal
 In one case the collector of customs at St. Louis said that a firm had 30,O00 bales of jute butts in bonded warehouse October 8 and inquired if they can be withdrawn free of duty October 6. The question was referred to the solicitor of the treasury who has given an opinion in which after quoting section 50, he says:
 It is assumed that the above named merchan- disc has been duly entered under bond for ware housing purposes and that permit of delivery and that xhe duties provided by the old law have not been paid. The provisos of the section are purpose of section 50 Is to subject certain mer chandise that at the moment of Importation is liable to duty under the act of 1853 to another act which takes effect october 6. By the terms of this section certain merchandise is subjected to this change in the rates of duty and the ques- to the 9th day of october, for which entry has entered previously to October 6, but on which the duties have not been paid and that is under other % purpose, U and for which no permit for de. | livery to the importer or his agent has been is- l sued. In order to secure the change in the rates l chandise 1t is obvious that there must have been
 an entry; that there must have been bond exc l cuted for some of the purposes for which bonds
 may be given, and that there must not have beer
 issued permit of delivery to the importer or hi. agent, and there must not have been payment of duties.
 The merchandise referred to in the dispatch o the collector does not belong to either of thest
 two classes. It does not belong to the first clas i because an entry has been made. It does not be
 long to the second class because Of permit Q | delivery to the owner or his agent has been is
 sued. Therefore conclude that the 5000 bale l of jute butts cannot be withdrawn free Of dut.
 on October or any other day.
 The collector at St. Louis has been in
 structed to act in accordance with thi
 opinion. s s

The amount of the first payment in these 66,673 original cases amounted to s32, ,47S, ,041, being S11, ,036,- 492 more than the first payments on the original claims allowed during the fiscal year 1889 and $i,179, 225 more than the first payments on the original claims allowed during the fiscal year 1888. The average value of the first pay ments on these original claims for 1890 was $4S5. The average annual of each pension at the close of the fiscal year was S134. At the close of the fiscal year there was in the hands of the pension agents the sum of $5S0, ,2S3.S7 of the pension funds which had not been disbursed for want of time and which has been returned to the treasury, and there were SEQ, ,63S pension CTS unpaid at the close of the fiscal year who were entitled to receive $4, 357 ,347, which has since been paid from the appro- priation for pensions for the fiscal year 1891.
 The commissioner says: It is believed that there are probably 100, 900 claims ir this office which can be properly allowed under the provisions of the regulations approved September 28, 1890. The act of June 27, 1890, is the first disability pen sion law in the history of the world which grants to soldiers and sailors pensions for disabilities which are not proved to have been incurred in the service and in line of duty. This law recognizes a higher obliga- ton of the people to their disabled vete- rams than was ever formulated into the law before. Nothing shall be left undone by this bureau to give effect to this latest ex- precision of the gratitude of the people to the soldiers who saved the republic.

Secretary Blaine Unable to Take an
 Active Part in the Ohio Campaign.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 6.-Secretary Blaine said this afternoon in answer to in- quiries that he could not at this time say positively whether he would be able to take an active part in the Ohio campaign or accept the invitation to attend the exposition at Atlanta He said that MT. Mckinley had sent him an invi
 tation and that he had promised to rem der him all the assistance in his power. He would like very much he said, to go to Ohio in MT. McKinley's interest just as it would give him pleasure to go to Atlanta, but the business of the department, he added, is just now so pressing that he did not see very well how. he could absent himself, especially as the president is away.

Much controversy still exists regard debtedness of the town in 1885 was about g. 000 and since that time over S6,0oo have been spent in tryiug to wrest from the hands of those who have given time and money towards the cultiya- ton or oyster the beds they have laid down This alone has been the means of largely increasing
 A tax of ten mills was levied for the ensuing year.
 An appropriation of not more than $50 was made to defray the expenses of the special con stable whose duty it is to see that no man take more than two bushels of oysters daily. It is claimed that he is not impartial in the admin. istration. Much dissatisfaction is felt among the more prominent taxpayers regarding the way money has been sunk in the question, and all to no purpose.

Entertainments.
THE cLxsENcEAu CASE.

THE CLE4ENCEAU CASE
 Notwithstanding the stormy night a large audience greeted the first production of "The Clemenceau Case" at the Hyperion last night. While the play itself lacks much in dramatic strength the produc- ton is an entertaining one As Iza, Miss Sibyl Johnstone may we'll feelfiattered over her success. Hers was the hit of the eve ming, and her clever presentation of the role was greeted with generous applause. The entire female support was good, but this cannot be said of the male support, with the exception of Pierre Clemenceau. of MT. Gustave Levick, and the Constan- tin Rity of Mir. John E. Kellerd. Mir. Fred Ashton, who was unexpectedly substituted for MT. Rowland as Count Serge Voinoff, was very bad. Nr. Rowland will assume the role again tonight Miss Harriet Ford as Madame Seaferon, Miss Elizabeth Post as Madame Clemenceau and Jennie Reif- forth as Countess Domloonouska are worthy of a word of praise. The scenic effects were most admirable. The piece will be repeated this and tomorrow even ings.
 ZEFFIE TILBuRY.
 large audience greeted Zeffie Tillbury in ''The Silver King" at the Grand last night. As Nellie Denver she presents a most interesting portrayal of the role. The Winfred Denver of MT. Lewis was strong and vigorous. The support is good and the entire production is of a high charac- ter. The company remains through the first half of the week.
 HERMANN
 The engagement of the great magician, Hermann, at the Hyperian Friday night promises to be most successful one in every respect. What constitutes the charm and insures the success of Her mann's work is his admirable faculty of entertaining his audience while perform ing his difficult feats of legerdemain, with little comedy interpolations and bits of by play.
 KATE PUTNAM.
 "Love Finds a Way" the new comedy in which Katie Putnam appears at Proc tors tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening has been highly rraised by the Boston critics. Miss Putnam has made such hit in this piece that she will ap- pear in 1t exclusively the coming season.
 ANNIE PIxLEy.
 Miss Annie Pixley and her company pre- sented ''Kate, Romance of the War; to small audience at Proctor's opera house last evening. The play secured the interest of the gallery gods, but that is about all that can be said of it. Miss Pixley is hardly the young and charming come dienne she was ten years ago, and during the interval she has not improved in her art. In "M'liss" and the ssDeacon's Daugh- ter" she was very successful, but the play given last evening can never be anything but a disappointment to her friends. The third act is the best, but there is a lack of originality to it as well as to the entire play. The best feature of the evening was Miss Pixley's song, '1'm just little tight" which received well merited applause.

 BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 6.-The first delega- tions to the national camp of the Patriotic Sons of America have arrived in Boston, and for the most part are bivouacked at the American house. The order is represented to-day in two-thirds of the states and ter ritories of this country, having 200 lodges and total membership of more than 250,- GOO. Delegations arrived this morning from Montana, California and Colorado. In all 175 delegates are expected. To-day various committees are at work on their work. Concerning the objects of the or der it is stated that it is not anti Catholic, but is non-sectarian and non-political, seeking only to guard the best interests of the country. It is essentially an Ameri- can order and it's cornerstone is the pro- lection of the public school system of com pulsory education and everything that is distinctly American. It demands some changes in the naturalization and emigra- ton laws.

The verdict of $3,00O against him for breach of promise to marry Anna Husaboe seems not to have turned his flock against him. Last evening the congregation voted unanimously not to accept his resignation ing, nor did he, in fact, take any part in the services. At the morning service the sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Hughes of the Jackson street Baptist church. He laid special stress on the Christian spirit which prompts people to stand by man when he is in trouble.
