A STRANGE MALADY.
Charles Weeks Case Battles All the Medi-
cal Experts.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Lying on cot at
the county hospital imploring the physi-
clans to help him is patient whose maiady
has batfled the skill of the entire medical
staff OF the institution and many physi-
clans, surgeons and specialists in nervous
diseases who have been called in TO dag
nose it.
The patient is Charles Weeks, an expert
accountant, who was admitted to the hos
pital for treatment three months ago. He
had fallen from the top of car and hurt
his head which, however, had healed.
When admitted he was apparently in fair
ly good health, but for peculiar Attic
ton His who e system seemed to have a
peculiar aversion to the touch of human
being. A persons hand laid upon any
portion OF his anatomy sent a thrill
through him like that produced by an
-lectric shock. He could not perform his
laily work because OF the unavoidable
contact wi h people, particularly in street
cars. Since Weeks has been in the hospi-
tai scores OF experts in nervous diseases
nave been attracted to the hospital by rea-
son of the strange malady, but they have
all come away nonplussed.

The Foreigners Are Only Tools in the
Hands of Others.
PITTsBURG, April Al. c. Frick made
statement today in reply to an interview
with miners ex-Secretary Watchorn, in
which the latter charged Frick with hav-
ing imported thousands of foreigners,
promising them a sort OF Utopia. Mr..
Frick says: II am ready to state that
neither myself nor our company nor any
one on its behalf, directly or indirectly
assisted, procured or requested any man
to emigrate to this country, and if Mr..
Watchorn or any OF his associates chal-
lenges this statement in any particular, we
are prepared for the fullest exam nation.
although the violence committed in
the vicinity of our works has been mainly
by foreigners. the public knows that these
people are simply the tools working out
tie p ans of others. Thepi now ATOP ed
OF using these men TO accomplish their
works of violence is but repetition of
former acts. Ia every strike in the coke
region these are the men that have been
used, and found to be plant tools when
ever violence is to be done. The public
should not allow itself to be blinded to
the al authors OF the present trouble.
The controversy is now not one between
our company and its employees, but is be-
tween the lawful authority of our com
monwealth and a mob of irresponsible
men in the hands OF cunning demagogues
This breach of the peace and violation of
the Jaw of our land is not the result OF a
sudden rush of uncontrol able passion, bat
is the result of deep laid scheme and
well planned attempt to override the au-
thority OF our state
Not the for igners, who are advised
that their living depends upon their resort
to violence, are to blame for this, but
those who give that advice are culpable.
They have called meetings of these
foreigners and have melted them by in
cendiary speech, well knowing hat when
excited they will resort to violence and
then try to exonerate themselves by say
ing that this foreign element has gotten
beyond their control. 1t needs no argu-
nent to show that this violence is the re-
suit OF such acts and the public press and
the lawful authority of our state should
fix on them the responsibility, rather than
upon the deluded foreigners"

would be useless for the strikers
to march about after the men mad

men had no intention of committing an
overt act. Mrs. Mary Rusko, who lives
about fifty feet from the scene of the riot
told me this: AS the men came down
the road and got nearly opposite the store
one of the strikers fired a revolver in
the air. The strikers went on down the
road to the bridge. A guard shouted to
the men: Stop and without giving the
men time to come TO a stand some one in
charge gave the order to fire. The order
was obeyed, and one of the guards
shouted: Johnny, what are you doing?'

that no more OF his plants had been

that he was awaiting developments. OF

The principal Georgia lumber dealers
have formed pool and capitalized their
mills, railroad and timber lands at
$4,000 with a view of keeping up
prices. Hundreds of thousands of acres
are controlled by the trust, which hopes
to combine the entire lumber output of
the gulf states. The combine is aided in
this by the one dollar import duty left
on lumber. This seems like a small
amount, but it means millions of dollars
to the combines which the consumers Of
lumber have to pay. But the worst
feature of it is that instead Of protecting
our forests, it serves as just SO much of a
premium upon their destruction. And
these things are not peculiar to the
Georgia lumber dealers and southern
forests; it obtains throughout the coun-

The report of the United States con-
sulate in Berlin shows a decrease in the
exports from Northern Germany to the
United States for the first quarter of
1891 of s., 439, 800, as compared with the
exports during the corresponding period
in 1890. This is explained very largely
if not entirely by the rigid embargo en-
forced against our meat products by the
German government; but that is to be
removed in the immediate future when
it is certain that our trade relations will
be resumed, and on a larger scale no
doubt in view of the opening of our
market to their sugar products, which
is the chief article of export to this
country

DIR. MILLER,S VISIT.

Dr. E. P. Miller, of New York, an ola
correspondent of the EAGLE, was in the
city yesterday and called. He has been
down to Carthage, No., where he holds
an interest in some lead and zinc mines,
and he was an his way down to Barber
county, where he owns some farms. The
doctor is a great believer in Kansas. His
faith in the state about equals his faith
in President Harrison and the Republic
can party. The doctor thinks the Nc
Kinley bill failure in number of
respects, believing that free sugar no
less than free hides mistake, and SO on.
He is for such protective duties all
around as will force the balance of in
ternational trade in our favor at all
times. He believes in paying off the
national debt with legal tender green
backs, which shall be demand notes, and
also in compulsory coinage Of both
metals. In the possible event of the
treasury at any time running short of
redeem such notes he would en-
power the treasurer to issue p per cent
bonds in sufficient quantity to relieve
the immediate demand. He would have
no national bank notes except such as
should be issued on a legal tender basis.
His idea is that should the United States
adopt the permanent policy of issuing
silver and gold certificates for all bullion
Of either kind deposited, that it would be
but short time before the whole civil
lied world would be compelled through
the example of our prosperity to adopt
like policy. He is thoroughly convinced
that the free coinage Of silver would
drive all gold out of circulation. No
money is of any account that does not
have back of it coin or bullion equiva-
lent on demand, but he is as hard on
the dominant spirit of Wall street in the
legislation of the country as the most
pronounced granger. The doctor Is a
man well advanced in years, yet hale
and robust. His whole life has been
largely devoted to the study Of finance
and trade, and on these questions he is a
walking encyclopedia.

dChLE. hdus, "A pm 80 1SVi'
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
In the EAGLE of the Goth, page 4, H. E.
Bidwell asks a pertinent question; he
says: Does not our religion need re-
formation:' To which we say, it GER
tainly does. Though the simple religion
of the New Testament, as set forth in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and as
taught by the apostles in the twenty
eight chapters of The Acts, needs no
reformation.
To his question touching a conference
OF religious denominations, we think
the question one well calcu-
lated to cause all candid
minds to answer in the affirmative.
Truly there may be, and we think there
is, enough difference in the 100 creeds
of the United States to cause the loss of
countless millions directly and indirectly
through the evident false religions these
creeds teach. Tt may be claimed that
what they teach is Bible doctrine and
taken from the Bible. Very well. if this
be SO SO, why not allow this teaching to
remain in Gods book?
All candid minds that have not been
tempered with in youth, and that know
anything of the Savior's teaching as the
great law-giver and perfection Of
human redemption, know well
that God was never the author of
the hundreds of schemes of salvation
as taught by shortsighted men. IL it
were possible for me TO believe that these
religions are true in principle, l would at
once like r. q. 1ngersol repudiate the
whole scheme of mans redemption, and
say that the God of the Bible Is a God of
confusion rather than one of order. How
Is Christ's prayer ever to be answered
for oneness of His people, when these
written articles of faith are keeping men
from becoming one in faith and uni
versal brotherhood in Christ the Re
deemer?
The religions of the world today are
more antagonistic to each other than the
political parties are. and unfortunately
this strife has its origin. not in what the
Bible teaches, but what it does not teach.
Is it any wonder that the churches are
being deserted by the unprofessional ele-
ment, when these doctors of divinity are
crying ''Lo, here is Christ and there is
Christ" Why should men honestly seek
ing the way to heaven not be confused.
Imagine in the city of Wichita fifteen
persons inquiring the way to heaven, and
fifteen reverend doctors of divinity Civ
ing these fifteen persons fifteen different
answers from their fifteen creeds. No
wonder our God blessed land is being
filed with skepticism and open infidelity.
Until men can relegate their private
opinions to the rear, and cease innova-
tions and perverting the teaching of
Christ and his apostles, we need never
expect to see a reformation of religion.
