way home from Mollinger's chap
and residence on Troy hill. I'll
majority of these unfortunates are
perfectly disappointed lot. The
came here firmly believing that th
noted priest possessed supernatura
healing power, though he has neve
made such claims himself. Most Z

the trip to Troy hill. Some wer
carried to their train on stretchers
while others came to the depot OF
crutches and wheeled chairs. Fathe
MOllinger was a very busy mai
yesterday. About 1000 Of bis patients
were escorted into his presence
before their departure, for his final
blessing. While great majority OF
the patients have been but little
benefited, others report what seem
to be almost miraculous cures.

been discovered that medical diplo
mas are being issued from this city
much under the plan exposed il
Philadelphia few years ago. Al
alleged doctor named Smith wa
arrested in London, England, re
Gently, and fined for sailing unde
false colors. In his defense Smitl
exhibited to the court a documen
purporting to confer upon him tn
degree of doctor of medicine. H
showed that he obtained his ALLEGED
diploma by sending a fee of $50 to al
Indianapolis medical college. Rep
utable Indianapolis physicians will
investigate this matter. It II
charged that the courses of severa
smaller colleges are too short; that
they lack thor0ughness, and that
they are granting diplomas on a
year or two course, and that some of
those who secured diplomas are
lIiterate.
