not receive anything like their just
share of the wealth in the country.
There is no winlling this out of sight. You

And the thinking poor of this country
are slowly wading up out of the mre in

OF the Wonderful Cures Effected on Drinkers

HOW SHATTERED NERVES ARE RESTORED

'In all ages the most wonderful discover
les in medical science have been stubbornly
combated by men whose lives were devoted
to the healing art. And why were these
wonderful discoveries combated? Because
they were wonderful The tracer of nerve
must needs be careful man, and careful
man is slow, even in his acceptance of a
truth.
''Of the nature with which my memory is

truth" Thus wrote Opie P. Read, of the
Arkansaao T-auela', in Dr. Keeley's inebriate
hospital, at Dwight, Ill, a few days ago.

DR.. Jennings was in my room the other
day, sound in body and mind. When !
asked him how he felt he replied: 81 don't

But what is the use of attempting to cite
remarkable cures when hundreds OF them,
almost equally astonishing, are in my mind!
To appreciate truly the treatment one must

DR.. Kelley as a Man.
Many people have asked me, "What sort
OF a man is Kelley? Give me some idea OF
him.
Instantly, upon meeting DR.. Kelley, a
student of character feels that he is in the
presence of a great man, nor does this I'M
preston grow less with acquaintance. On
the contrary, the first conception is strength

interviewed statesmen, and have come away

but the more contemplate Dr. Kelley the

doing more good than any man living to-

philanthropist. He is the restorer of hap
piness to homes that have long been the
abode of misery; he is healing the broken
hearts of wretched mothers and wives, and
is giving back to man his forfeited claim
upon happiness. He firmly takes in despair
and gently turns it out hope.

THE LAKE IN THE DESERT.
ANOTHER PHENOMENON IN THE
VICINITY OF SALTON,

The Water Recedes in the Morning, but
Rises Again Later in the Day-Reports
From the Supposed Break in the
Colorado River
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 3.-The desert
lake at Salton caused surprise yesterday
by the fact that the water receded in the
morning but commenced to rise again,
showing that the limit has not been reached
A dispatch received from Salton yester-
day afternoon said: IF the water comes from
the Colorado river there must now be
enough between here and the river to nearly
fill this basin, and most likely reach the
main line of the Southern Pacific. All the
Hat part of the basin is now covered with
water, and the depth will increase much
faster. Section men are making efforts to
save the railroad spur, but the water is
very hot and 1T is feared the men cannot
endure it. The water is warmest at the
bottom.

tendent Muir, of the Southern Pacific. yes-

aims
The operator at Salton telegraphed last
night that the water was rising very slowly,
but there was no danger of it reaching the
main track, as at the present rate it would
take six months to do so, and long before
that time it is believed the desert will be
dry from evaporation.
A dispatch from Yuma, Ariz., saws: A
reliable report from Salton states that the
boat sent out by the railroad company
was forced to return after having tray-
eled 25 miles on the desert lake. The
force of the current made further head
way impossible. The theory advanced
that the water now running into Salton
basin is caused by the barrier washed
out on the Colorado river last year, near
Pilot Knob is exploded by the fact that the
flood of February, this year, carried twice
the amount of water of that of month ago,
and would have run into the desert if an
inlet had existed. Careful investigation
proves that the barrier between the Colo
RADIO and rim of the desert was only ridge
of four feet This was ascertained in sur
vey made several years ago.
The Colorado river has been falling for
over a week past, and is lower to-day
than the same day last year. If the water
is running from the Gulf, the amount must
increase daily, as the difference in the level
is great. A late dispatch from Salton says
a strong wind last night forced the water
about 200 feet back from the north shore,

two hours parley we secured the arrest of
all the medicine men. We afterward
marched through the street and saw every
evidence of great preparations for defense.
They were only persuaded to surrender
peacefully by the presence of the large COM

BROKER YARD MUST TESTIFY,
But He Need Not Answer Certain Very Per.
tinent Questions.

xltstiOns.
PHILADELPHIA, July 8. - President
Judge Allison, of the Court of Common
Pleas, this morning handed down decision
of the court upholding the authority of City
Councils to appoint a committee vested
with powers to subpoena witnesses and
place them under oath before receiving their
testimony.
The decision of the court arose through a
suit in equity brought against Henry HI.
Yard, who refused to be sworn or to testify
before the Keystone Bank Investigating
Committee.
The refusal of Yard to be sworn, and the
subsequent entering of a suit by the CITY
Solicitor to compel him to submit to being
sworn, raised very delicate question of
constitutional law. Yard has been oin-
dicted by the grand jury for criminal con-
spiracy with ex-City Treasurer Bardsley to
unlawfully use the public funds.
The contention of Yards counsel. in
their arguments before the Court
of Common Pleas, was that city
Councils had no authority to appoint a
committee vested with powers to compel
citizens to appear before them and testify
under oath, and.that, in addition, under the
Constitution Of the United States, every
man is guaranteed the right to answer no
questions before tribunal of justice that
viii tend TO incriminate himself.
The opinion of the Court on the right of
Councils to appoint the committee was that
Yard must appear before that committee
and submit himself to being sworn, but un-
der the bill of rights he could refuse to
answer any question that he thought would
incriminate himself The remedy of the
committee then is to appeal to the courts to
submit to them the questions asked Yard,
and the Court will decide whether they are
of nature to incriminate him.

A FAREWELL DINNER IN THE EVENING

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.J
NEW YORK, July 3.-The sightseeing of
Prince George in this country was brought
to an end by a visit to Thomas A Edison's
laboratory at Llewellyn Park to-day. The
Prince found time before his departure to
send two cable messages-one to the Prince
and Princess Of Wales, whom he is about
to visit, the other to his father, the King of
Greece notifying them that he is to sail to-
day on the Seryia.
AT Llewell yn Park the party was first con-
Quoted to the library, in the center of
which is graceful marble statue of the
genius of electricity. The Prince glanced
at the crowded book shelves but gave more
attention to Mr.. Edison's collection of min
erals, which is remarkably fine. They
were then conducted up stairs to the phon-
ograph room, where large Edison phon-
ograph, arranged with as many tubes as
there were visitors, had been set up.
Liked the Southern Melody.
/ A cylinder which rendered negro laugh
ing song was put into the instrument, and
the Prince seemed to enjoy this more than
the cylinders that presented the sound of an
orchestra and cornet solo by Levy. A
phonograph was then placed so as to be
spoken into, and Consul Gregor stepped up
to the mouthpiece. He spoke in French.
and said, addressing Prince George:
"My Lord, we are very happy to be in this
country. l am the first representative of
Russia who has been able to express on the
part of a grateful nation the great admira-
tion which we have for your act of courage
and self-saerifce. You presented your
breast to the murderous weapon of an assas-
sin to preserve the life Of our beloved
Prince. Grateful Russia, in the person of
her representative, salutes you.o Prince
George next spoke into the phonograph in
Greek. The party then returned to the city.
rendered a Farewell Dinner.
A farewell dinner was given to Prince
George at the house of Consul General
Olarovsky this morning. After the coffee
a large punch bowl was placed upon the
table and Russian punch, the Djorika,
was brewed. 1t consists of countless ingre-
dients the principal ones being champagne
and cognae. The lights were then turned
low, the cognae fired, and the standing
"Bon voyage" was drank to the young
traveller.
At midnight the Prince drove to the
Cunard wharf Lined up in front of the
gangway were more than 300 New York
Greeks bearing the Greek ensign and the
Stars and Stripes. They cheered the Prince
loudly. Prince George bowed his aeknowl-
edgements to the crowd, and went on board
the Servia, whereupon the crowd quietly
dispersed and the Greeks of America saw
the last of their young hero in their adopted
land
