and the evangelist, after powerful SER

called upon all the members of the con-
gregstion who paid their debts to stand
up. The congregation rose almost to

ing individual rose to his feet and ex-
planned that while he found himselfi in

not help himself, as he was the editor
and proprietor of the local paper and
could not pay up, as all the congrega-

it, but take Them Now that brings me to
the secret of the cure. DR.. Keely said to
me the other day In this room that If
the medical Paternity would acknowledge
the efficacy of his treatment he would
publish every fact In connection with it.
Forgie's case was not test case by any
means. He was a brandy drunkard, and
one of the worst I ever saw. He could
hardly walk when he came here. He
was not discharged as cured, but went
away against my advice. His case was
not failure. He took the bit between
his teeth and went awsv before he should
have gone.
"Now, here is letter from q doctor
in Troy. 1t came three days ago. he
drank liquor for ten years, and is only 81
years old. He has been at Fort Hamil-
ton and in the Christian Home. Before
be come to White Plains, on July % of
this year, he was drinking daily anything
over and above q quart of whiskey he
could get. He left here August IL, and,
as you see, he says In his letter he has
not tasted a drop or had any desire to
do So"
After the talk with the doctor the re-
porter walked into the main hall OF the
Institute. 1t was 8 o'clock in the after
noon. Thirty or forty men, young and
old, all we'll dressed, all bright looking,
were lounging around, good many had
their coats off with the shirt sleeve of
one arm rolled up. They talked freely,
and not a man expressed disbelief in
the cure. Pretty soon the doctor came
in and went to table, and, taking by
podermic syringe, filled it with red fluid
taken from shell.sbsped saucer in front
of him. The first man stepped forward,
held up bis arm, the doctor inserted the
point of q syringe, and withdrew 1t In Q
second. The whole operation did not take
ten seconds.
On the way to the station groups Of
men we're going to be speared, as they
call It, and in the hotel there were card
parties and men playing billiards and
pool. There was temptation enough, but
no one seemed to heed It. The hoiel sa-
loon keepers are unanimous in saying
that they had seen but one or two back.

She did not know She was Free.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, November 9.-The
Kansas City Court Of Appeals to-day de.
James Hickam, administrator Of the es-
tate Of Joseph Hickam, appealed from
Cooper County. It was reversed and re-
manded.
It was the case of q former slave who
was kept in ignorance Of the fact that she
was free for twenty-four years after the
emancipation proclamation. EdR HEX
am, prior to the war, was tho property of
Joseph Hickam, now dead. He lived In
Moniteau County. At tho time Of the
abolition Of slavery In Missouri the plain
tiff was % years old. She had no educa-
ton and had been in the Hickam family
from childhood, and had very little &C
quaintance outside Of the family. She
says that during the war and until the
death Of her "old MASTER she was not
allowed to leave the premises except In
the company of member Of the family,
that she was not allowed to visit any OF
the members Of her own race, and no
colored person, not even her stepfather,
was permitted to see her alone; that she
was never permitted to 60 to Church or
public gatherings Of any kind, and lived
In absolute ignorance Of the fact that the
negroes had been set free or that she was
free woman until the death OF her mas
ter.
During the whole of the time, from the
abolition of slavery until the death Of her
master, twenty-four years and five days,
she lived and served as his slave, In igno-
rance of her rights and without remune-
ration, except what she received as slave
food and clothes.
In December, 1889, the plaintiff present.
ed to the Probate Court of Cooper Coun-
ty, for allowance against the estate Of Jo-
seph Hickam, bill Of 81 ,440, being $5 q
month for her term of service. The case
was tried before jury, and the plaintiff
received an award Of $7S5.
The defendant appealed TO the Circuit
Court and q verdict was rendered for the
defendant. The plaintiff appealed, and
this morning the Court Of Appeals hand
ed down an opinion reversing the case
and remanding 1t for new trial.

Fact against Fiction.

There is no figment of the imagination
If it is at all within the limit Of pOssi-
bilities-more curious or strange than
some things that actually happen. The
following is an instance In proof Of this:
A few years ago Frank Millet, the
well-known artist, war correspondents and
story writer, published short story in a
leading magazine which had as its princi-
pal features the mysterious killing of
Partisan artist in his own studio. A web
of circumstancial evidence led to the ar
of posing for him, But through some
chain Of circumstances, which the writer
Of this has now forgotten, the murder-if
murder 1t can be called-was found to
have been caused by the discharge Of
irearm through the force Of capillary at
traction. The firearm was used by the
artist as studio accessory, and was hung
in such manner that he was directly In
line with it. Its discharge occurred
when he was alone in his studio. The
story was vivid and ingenious fight Of
the Imagination. Now for Its parallel In
fact:
A recent number of the Albany Law
Journal tells OF the arrest of q man upon
the charge Of killing his cousin. The dead
man was found lying upon lounge about
o CLOCK In tn6 aIt6rUOON, WIN oA-Cdll'
bre ball in his brain. The cousin, who
had an interest Of $10O, 900 in his death.
was alone with him In the house at the
time. The discovery Of the real cause Of
his death was due to the lawyer Of the ac-
cused, who took the rifle from which the
ball had been fred, loaded and hung 1t
upon the wall, and then marked the form
Of man upon q white sheet and placed 1t
upon lounge where the man had been
found. Then heavy cut-glass pitcher
of water was placed upon shelf above.
The temperature was 900 In the shade.
The pitcher Of water acted as a sun
glass, and the hot rays of the sun shining
through. the water were refracted directly
upon the cartridge chamber Of the rife.
Eight witnesses were in the room, and
few minutes after o'clock there was
puff and report, and the ball struck the
outlined form back Of the ear, and the
theory of circumstantial evidence was
exploded. )
This Is interesting, not only because the
real occurrence is quite as strange as the
imagined one, but because the fact came
after the fiction and parallelled 1t so close
ly.-Detr0it Free Press.

it as slur on their religion, and commit

Mormon Converts.

A never failing source of income to
the Western railroads are the Mormon
immigrants. I estimated that two roads
have earned $780, 900 from this class Of
traffic alone within the past year. These
roads are the Union Pacific and the
Kansas City. Fort Scott and Memphis.
The Memphis route brings the foreigners
from the southeastern Atlantic .seaports
and the Union Pacific takes them from
Kansas City to the Mormon settlements
in the great West.
Enough proselytes pass through Kan.
sss City In year to keep the Mormon
colonies In the West ever thriving. A
party of $50 of them reached here Mon.
day night on the Memphis road. They
occupied three special cars. Regularly
every two weeks the converts from foreign
lands pass through this city in bands Of
from rs to 100. They are in charge
always of q proselyting elder, who is sent
by the Mormons of Utah to work in Eu.
rope. The emigrants who arrived here
Monday night were mostly Swedes.
They were under the spiritual and mate.
rial guidance of Elder Ole Olescu.
About oncs every six months these
proselyting elders return to the old coun.
try after new aocks. They leave America
in bands. About eight weeks ago one of
these parties passed through Kansas
City, going eastward.
1t was composed of about seventy five
old men and women. The members were
a crafty-looking lot. They studiously

ted the railroad passenger agents to
attend to all their traffic business.
As fruit of the labor on the other eide,
over 5000 converts have reached Kansas
City in about fifteen months. A large
number of them have women. A long
steerage and q railroad ride half across q
big continent are not beauti6ers; but,
taking the unfavorable circumstances
into consideration, the women who have
reached Kansas City have, technically
speaking, been homely enough to throw,
switch. They come mostly from the
European peasant classes. The men look
lazy, and the women are almost beasts of
burden. The elders in charge Of the
focks will not permit Gentiles to talk to
their charges more than is absolutely
necessary. Last fall an entire train load
of converts arrived here from New York
city. There were English, Irish, Scotch,
French and Germans in the party
Kansas City Times.
