RI0US POWER.
FREE TO ALL.

The wonderful cures by Drs. French
that are attracting such crowds to G..
A. r. Hall every morning from 10 to
/, have set people to thinking. The
stories told there also shed light upon
the tortures and indignities to which
the afflicted are subjected by certain
physicians called REGULARS" for the
treatment of diseases peculiar to fe-
male organism.
Mrs. Duke, 715 Fourteenth street,
came forward yesterday. She had
been treated some two weeks ago for
the headache saying: III have suffered
for nine years; have used all kinds of
medicines, tried doctors and doctors
and electricity, without any perceptl-
BILE benefit. Your treatment alono has
given relief" and her face gave evil
dence of the wonderful change that
had taken place. A very remarkable
case treated was that of lady 80
years old. She had rheumatism in the
arm and shoulder; she could not lift
tho arm or bend the wrist. In less than
FIVE minutes she was entirely cured,
and she raised her arm high above her
head. Again the people beheld Mrs.
Siggins of 80 H street struggle to get
up the steps with her crutches. Her
knees were stiff, painful and swollen.
The cords were drawn. For eight years
she had suffered and waited. Fourteen
doctors had dosed her. The moro she
dosed the more she suffered. She paid
their bills and wore her crutches. Ten
minutes yesterday-only ten minutes
and she shouldered her sticks and
walked down from the stage, out of
the hail. down the steps and across the
street, and her son followed her, over

Twelve TO twenty persons are treated
free every day at G. A. p. Hall, and
their office, 1925 F street. is crowded
with applicants for treatment. The
doctors say the present indications are
that their business here will exceed
Pittsburg, st. Louis, Philadelphia,
Buffalo or even Boston. They cure all
forms of disease, but will in no case
take an incurable person for treat
ment. Go to @. A. r. Hall and sac for
yourself. Don't be prejudiced By any
would-be adviser. Consultation at tho

At meeting of the members of the De-
troit bar the other day to take action on
the nomination of Judge Brown for the
Supreme Court, Don NJ. Dickinson made
very felicitous speech. Judge Brown"
he said, twill sit beside men great them
selves and as great rs those who have pre-
ceded them. The Supreme Court Is at
the head of one of the great branches of
the Government. 1t ranks equally with
the President and the collective Congress.
II is the highest tribunal on earth.
"The highest encomium that can be passed
upon Judge Henry b. Brown is to say that
he is well worthy of the honor that has
come to him." Mr.. Dickinson predicted
that Judge Brown would make such
record that men would point to him and
say, THAT Justice was appointed from
Michigan" "Judge Brown will take with
him to Washington" said he, zone of the
highest types Of American womanhood,
who will well represent the sweetness,
grace and accomplishments of the Michi-
gan womanhood and who will at the
National Capital, as here in Detroit,
brighten and gladden. the circle in which
she moves. The President is to be con
graduated ON this appointment, and par
tisanship sinks out of sight"

A Husband Shoots His Wife and Drives

lie school at II o'clock yesterday morning,
and in the presence of forty pupils fired
two balls at his wife Nellie, who is q
teacher in the higher department. Both
shots took effect, one going through her
part of her hip. Barker dropped the l3-
months-old child he carried in his left
arm and pursued his victim, who ran into
q hallway. She crouched under q stair
way and begged for her life, but the hus-
band emptied his revolver, three balls en-
tering his victims head.
Barker then ran into the street, jumped
into his cutter that stood in front of the
building and drove furiously away into
the country. lie had not been captured
up to a late hour last night, but had been
traced twenty miles to Vesper. The police
are only twenty minutes behind him.
Mrs. Barker was taken in an ambulance
to the House of the Good Shepherd, and
lies in an unconscious condition with but
little or no prospect of recovery. Barker
is handsome man, 80 years old, and has

He hes been married three times. He

about 80 years old, two years ago last
October. She was then school teacher.
lie soon became very jealous and, her
relatives say, entirely without cause. She
stood his illtreatment for little more
than q year, when she took the child and
left him. She has lived with her sister
ever since, taking her old place in the
school. Yesterday morning Barker left
! the home Of his sister, where he boarded,
before breakfast. After Mrs. Barker had
left for the school he went to the house
and forced the nurse to give him posses
sion of the child. His whereabouts up to
the time of the shooting are not known.
| When he entered the schoolroom he only
said: "This is the way you care for your
child, is it?" Then he began firing, hold
ing the baby in his arms.
The school children were very much
frightened and stampeded for the open
air, Barkers relatives say they believe

COINAGE QUESTION IN COURT.
A Mnndamus Asked to Compel IL,
Treasurx IN Cain Silyer Erae.

A MGndamus Asked to Compel the
Treasury to Coin Silver Free.
Yesterday George G, Merrick, George f.
Batchelder, Harley b. Morse and Robert
J. Coleman filed petition for writ Of
mandamus against Secretary of Treasury
Window to compel him to instruct the
Director of the Mint to receive and have
coined certain ingots of silver bullion. In
the petition the applicants set forth that
they are residents of Denver, Col, and
owners of q bar of silver bullion rendered
by George G. Merrick and Harley b.
Morse to the superintendent Of the United
States Mint at Philadelphia, such tender
having been made with the demand that
the bullion be received and coined for the
use and benefit of the depositors without
delay.
The request was refused by both the
Superintendent and the Director of the
Mint. On January 10 last the petitioners
brought the matter before the Secretary
Of the Treasury, with the request that he
instruct his subordinates to receive and
coin the silver. The Secretary refused to
do this and the petitioners now bring suit
for writ of mandamus, commanding
him to grant their application. The
value of the silver is about $500.
The petition was certified by Justice
Cox of the Circuit Court to be heard in
the General Term in the first instance.

OrERA IN NEW YORK.


II now appears that New York is to
have WNGNEE Opera after all, notwith-
standing the detection of the Metropolitan
Opera House. This is well. There is
large and respectable element in New
York, composed of people who honestly
believe that they enjoy WAGNER and
whose scheme cf musical entertainment is
answered by the twelve productions Of
that composer by all means let them
proceed 10 equip theatre which shall be
dedicated to WAGNER and to procure an
orchestra suitable to the OCCASION Let
there be one temple devoted to Magnetism
and another devoted TO the art Of singing,
and let civilization Judge between them.
Mr.. ABDrY, however, seems in danger
of repeating the error he committed some
years ago. When he managed the Metro
politan Opera House on former occasion,
instead of securing n company that was
thoroughly competent in every part, he
sQuaudcrcd his means on three or four
stars The result was that no opera
was perfectly given as whole. When
PATTI or SCNcu or some other high
priced star happened to be ON the stage
everything went well enough, but the
audience took no interest in the rest of
the performance, and they were right-it
was not interesting. The 'star" system is
fatal to operate performances. The works
of BEETHOVEN, MEYERBEER, AUBEn,
WEBER, THOMAS, HALEvY, GouNoD, BIzEr,
MAssEHET, RossINI, and the higher efforts
of VERDI and DONI2ETT1 cannot be adc-
quately interpreted except by large com
yanies made up of first-class artists. This
is the French theory and it is the correct
one. Every member should be finished
artist and every one should possess a
voice. Intelligent and cultivated audi
ences will not be satisfied with perform
ance where all the talent is concentrated
in three or four principals and the rest
left TO be "scamped' by mob of fourth
rate ircapablcs. The herald, who comes
in for only two minutes and has but n
single phrase to, deliver, should bear him
self as well as the highest-priced member
of the troupe, and should deliver his
phrases with as clear voice and as true n
musical method as does Elcd=dr himself
when, in that most splendid of all tenor
Passages. Qudad du @igHeur, he thrills and
sways his audience as with magician 5
wand.
If Mr.. ABBEY will collect n ilrst-class
stock company ON the French plan-a
company capable of giving thoroughly
and completely the whole repertoire of the
French and Italian schools-he will sue
cecd. His audiences will discover new
beauties in operas which they now mis-
takenly suppose they know all about
The taste for melody and for singing will
revive, People will learn to delight in
music which touches the heart and
moves The soul, and will care less and less
for the cold and vexatious distractions o.
WAGNER. But let Mr.. ABBEY beware o
stars" Though he squander untolt
thousands upon them and still other un
told thousands upon spectacular effects
his venture will end in shipwreck.

0Un CONGRATULATIONS to the Army and
Navy men on the now assured realization
Of their long-cherished plan of hand
some home for the United Service Club.
There are no better fellows on earth than
the officers in the military service of the
United States, and none who deserve more
comfortable quarters in the intervals of
their work on the frontier or at sea. The
fact that HARVEY PAGE is to be the arChi-
tect furnishes satisfactory guarantee that
the building will be model in all ma
terial respects, while the names of Gen
eral BREcKINRIDGE, Chief Engineer
FLETCHER and o. &. GREEN, Esq, on
the board of governors suggests large and
saudy visions of interior arrangement
and decoration. Nobody understands the
art Of luXuriating better than "Chief"
FLETCHER, and ii he should preside over the
details Of fitting and furnishing, the new
clubhouse will be converted into veri-
talle bower of ease. Ii is to be regretted,
in the interest of large number of good
and desirable club men, that the member
hip is limited to military men and to the
Order of the Cincinnati. We assume that
the Cincinnati have been included on the
theory that they are retired warriors, who
have been beaten their shields into plOw-
shares and their swords into pruning
hooks; which is all very proper and
Toetic. But'it seems hard to be crowde
out of such gracious and congenial
fellowship on any technicaliiy whatever,
and there will be many longing and re-
iretful glances cast at that graceful and
imposing ediice by men who are so I'M
lucky as to be neither soldiers nor Gin,
ciIHati. The organization, however, will
add another splendid ornament to this
city of magnificent structures, and no one
will begrudge the military fellows theii
good luck, no matter how much they
envy il.

TIM PROPOSITION TO increase the pay of

to which no rational objection can be
mace. Indeed, the thing should have
been done long ago. 1t ~ not possible to
maintain iirst-class organization unless
the members Of that organization are paid
at least approximately as much as they
can earn elsewhere OF course il Is some
thing to belong to the Marine Band, the
most conspicuous body Of its kind in the
country, but even that consideration does
not compensate the men for such very
serious shortcomings in the matter OF their
Iny. Mr.. Sousa has brought together q
number Of very fine musicians. Some of
them are artists of great distinction in
their specialties, and all are performers of
merit. If we are to have Marine Band
at all we should, in view of the services
they ere called upon to render, have the
best obtainable, To this end provision
should be made for their adequate remu-

u. G.. Adelsberger, 40 North Howard
street, Baltimore, Nd, who constructed
he water supply plant and did all the

has just completed water supply system

all directions through the adjoining
streets. Close at hand n well, II feet in

In sinking this immense hole a variety
of strata were encountered. The first cut
from the surface showed four feet of soil

the rock formation had assumed much
darker hue, and here it was that three
splendid streams and number of smaller
ones were met. So great is the flow that
the water rises to a height of so feet in the
well.
The work of sinking and lining the well
furnished employment to an average of 8
men for @ months. Caissons of pinch
white pine, with ix9-inch ribs and hoops
of 4-inch band iron at intervals of feet,
the hoops securely bolted to each stave
were sunk in sections of 10 feet and filed
in with bricks. The caissons were boltca
together through the ends.
| In the construction of the well there
were used G0,000 BRICKS 1880 feet white
pine lumber, 1900 iron bolts 700 feet 4
