SIZE WALKS AGAIN.
A Costumes Girl Cured by Her Faith
in God.
Pronounced Tncurabie by the Doctors
She Casts Her Clutches Aside,
and Walks With Ease.

! Residing about twelve miles from Elk
| Grove, near the Cosumnes River, in this
county. lives a widow named Bernhard
with several daughters, one of whom had
for four months past been unable to walk
an attack of measles from which she had
suffered having affected her feet. They
were terribly swollen and heavy and life
less. She managed to move around tC
some extent by the aid of crutches, as the
weight OF her body was too great for hel
| feet.
Being an ardent believer of cure by
faith she prayed long and earnestly for
relief, according to the instruction of a
book, entitled, 1.-THE Prayer of Faith,'
written by Carrie e Judd of Laundry
Farm. She also received encouragement
from her companion, Miss Grace Scott,
who is also an ardent Free Methodist.
Recently Miss Bernhard went to Ala
| media and was assisted to the residence OF
Rev. d. G.. Shepard, pastor of the Free
Methodist Church Of that city.
According TO statement published in
| yesterdays EC0ntlfter, the two young
ladies were, on last Tuesday evening,
more than usually overcome with conyic-
| ton OF the power OF faith TO cure all all
ments, and after supper they retired to
their bedroom to pray.
| Miss Scott was already convinced, and
when the cripple9dd, girl exclaimed: My
Father, L take Thee at Thy word" her
companion said: I'VE walk by faith not
sight. Walk by faithi''
And instantly the praying subject
bounded from her recumbent position.
She rushed into the sitting-room and ran
up and down the house shouting: 80

ankles and feet. She was as sound and
well as ever. The swelling had left the
limbs and she was as happy as child,
| jumping and shouting. She did not care
to sit down and joyfully told her story to
all.
On Wednesday she walked more than a
mile through the streets, without assist
ance, and felt no fatigue.
She continues to walk without diff
Guilty, and tells the story of her cure to
the large numbers of people who call al
the unpretentious cottage each day.
The doctors Of Sacramento, she said
had concluded that there was no cure for
her. They thought that she would always
be a cripple. Sending her to Alameda
was the result of their thinking the
change of climate might at least prove
beneficial.
But she seemed to grow worse until the
day Of her sudden and miraculous cure.
Miss Bernhard has been devout Chris
tian since she was Is years of age, and is
a member of the Cosumnes Church, near
| Sacramento.
Miss Scott has also been an invalid for
some time. She was patient in the Cali
fornia Women's Hospital for long time,
through chronic disease. She came here
about two weeks ago, and has also be-
come almost entirely cured. She is conf
dent that her cure will shortly be COM
| plete, through faith alone.
| Several witnesses, considered reliable,
testify to the above conditions, and also
that the two girls have not been taking
medicines.

Evans and Hoey are among the funni-
est comedians in their line on the stage
to-day, and have always given one of the
brightest of farce comedy performances.
They have surrounded themselves this
season with a strong company, each and
every member of which is claimed to be
an artist III his or her line. They have
made special endeavors to put before the
theater-going public only the best talent
obtainable, and to give the cleanest and
brightest performance possible. How
well they have succeeded is shown by
the vast audiences which, at ali times,
have welcomed them. and the long and
continuous applause with which each in
dividual speciality has been greeted.
They aim to make people laugh, and
laugh they do. One sight of Hoey as
sold Hoss'' is enough to set an audience
in convulsions, while Evans portrayal of
the long and narrow "Book Agent' is a
comedy performance III itself

FbATTENED OUT.
A Small Stand at the Race Track
Goes Down.
Quite Number of Persons Injured
Some Seriously, Others Painfully,
But None Fatally.

Considerable excitement was caused at
Agricultural Park on Saturday by the
collapse of an old stand that stood north
of the G-street entrance and inside the
stall inclosure. 1t was perhaps ten feet
III hight and was made of rough boards.
There were couple of hundred persons
on the stand when it suddenly fattened
out.
A great crowd gathered about the place,
and it was with difficulty that those who
were really bent on rescuing the injured
could get them out where they could re-
ceive attention. It was found that the fol-
lowing-named persons were injured:
e. w. Melvin was injured in the back
and otherwise bruised.
NJ H. Sheehan has shis shoulder in
iured.
A boy named Tully DeI.ong who re-
sides at 1918 \ street, was found to have
suffered double fracture of one Of his
legs.
Another boy, named John Kinney, got
away with a sprained ankle.
Michael Deutzer of Davisville, quite an
old man, had his right thigh fractured.
A boy named Ed. Wright was also re-
ported to have had leg broken, but it
Abraham Smith had his back some
what injured.
l. n. Brock of Sutter County claimed
to have been considerably bruised.
j. K. Vanzant of Red Bluff was badly
shaken up.
Thomas Mace of San Francisco com
planned OF pain in the side.
A Mr.. McGrath, who lives at Twenty
ninth and q streets, sustained an injury
to one Of his legs.
1t was thought at the time of the acci-
dent that Mr.. Melvin was fatally injured,
but he was reported yesterday as consid-
erably improved.
Mr.. DeutZer, the aged man from Davis
vile, will be confined to his bed for sew
eral months, as fracture of the hip is
very slow in healing.
The little boy DeLong, one of whose
legs was fractured in two places, will
also be confined to his bed for some time,
but his youth is in his favor
The stand had stood for several years,
and looked as if it were substantial
enough to hold all that could climb upon
it. But it was unpainted and without
protection from the winters wet and the
summers heat; hence the nails had be-
come loose or rust-eaten, and the under
pinning more or less decayed.
Fortunately the structure was not a
high one, or some of its occupants would
have been crushed to death.

She Wept When Her Husband Was
Nominated for Governor.
The proudest woman in the country is
Mrs. j. Sloat Fassett, daughter of Mrs. E.
B. Crocker of this city. Her husband
was nominated the other day by the Re-
publicans Of New York as their candidate
for the Governorship. A correspondent
writes that it was a memorable scene in
the convention at Rochester when the
guns doomed and the building was sound
ing with cheers after Mr.. Fassett was
nominated. Henchmen thronged around
10 congratulate the candidate. He pushed
them all aside and made his way TO his
wife, who was sitting in the front row on
the platform. There, before thousands of
the leading Republicans of the Empire
State, he stopped down and kissed her.
She smiled, and then hundreds of voices
cheered again. 1t was too much for Mrs.
Fassett and she burst into tears.
1t is said that Mrs. Fassett will be a
rival in New York to Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land in personal popularity. She sat
during the proceedings of this most en-
thusiastic convention in the front row on
the high platform on the right side
Twenty women were on both sides of
her, but none of them felt such an inter-
est in every detail.

THE NEW RANGES.
Work on the construction of the new
shooting ranges of the First Artillery
Regiment, which are located lust this
side of the Alnerican-Rive wagon
bridge, is nearly completed, and the regi-
mont can now boast of having some of
the finest rife ranges in the State. There
are in all ten ranges, each range having
two targets. There are seven two-hun-
dred-yard ranges and three three-hun-
dred-yards They are built after the
latest pattern, the targets sliding up and
down, and the marking being done in a
pit below, six feet in depth In order to
avoid confusion bell is attached to each
range, and from it wire extends to the
shed from where the men shoot. As
each man fires a shot he simply pulls n
lever and the marker knows on which
target to look.
An endeavor was made to rent enough
land to ppt up 5O0-yard range, but
without success. Colonel Guthrie says,
however, he may yet be able to do so.

VETO OF THE s 1HooL BILL.

Defect in It's Construction.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct 21.-Gov. Northen
TO- day vetoed the school bill, after an ex-
haustIve conference with Attorney General
Little. the state school commissioner. state
treasurer aud state board of education. The
bull was the result of conference commit
tee of the two houses and provided for the
collection and disbursement of the common
school fund, its principal feature being
quarterly payments to teachers and holding
the fuad in the state treasury subject only
to the draft of the state school commissioner,
instead of the distribution being effected
through the county boards direct. Gov.
Northen was in full accord with the
Intentions of the bill, but a
gIaring defect in its construction
which would have tied up in the state
treasury for year the school fund for 1892
compelled him to sftix bis Veto The fault
= as with the technical draft Of the bill
alone, and this fault was doubtless due to
the fact that the bill was drawn in hurry
at the close of the SESSION. Now that the
proposed new school law is dead letter the
schools will continue to run under the law
governing them last year.

ing it unlawful for prescription clerks aud

He also vetoed the bill prohibiting the
