Harris is making converts very rapid
ly. The books that he issues are most
ly given up to subjects of very deli
cate nature. The sanctity of Christian
marriages is bitterly attacked, asis also
the Christian family relation. 1t is be-
lieved that the present Congress will
take some measures with view Of
suppressing the evil.

HELPi HELP! THE LADY FAINTS.
"'Tis the twink of an eye,
Ti5 the draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health,
To the paleness of DEATH"

When sudden fainting spells come
upon a lady, you may always suspect
some uterine disturbances or trouble, or
some great disorder in the circulation and
nerve centers. A remedy that has al
ways proved successful in warding off and
removing the tendency to recurrence of
fainting spells-that removes the cause
of them, corrects the circulation of blood,
and gives to the system that even run
ming nervous energy so essential, is DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The Prescription 4" is guaranteed to
give satisfaction in every case, or money
refunded. Nothing else does as much.
You only pay for the good you get.
Can you ask more?
As regulator and promoter of func-
tional action, at the critical period Of
change from girlhood to womanhood,
"Favorite Prescription is a perfectly
safe remedial agent and can produce
only good results. 1t is equally effica-
cious and valuable in its effects when
taken for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and most
critical period, known as "The change
of Life"

Internal powers. All the rest was ac
cording to the rule SO often manifested
in history.
1t now appears that only two or three
Americans have been killed, and that
by sort of accident. While the gov
eminent dallied with the mobs it was
suddenly confronted by great rebell-
ion in the province of Manchooria, and
Ii Hung Chang, who rules the adjacent
province and seems to be the greatest
General in China, has been kept very
busy. Reports are conflicting, but it is
certain that the rebel movement is
checked. Kwang Su, who has been
Emperor for three years, is only 20
years old, and is quite delicate in
health, and so the imperial council is
practically supreme, and LII Hung
Chang appears to be practical dictator
in his own province.
1t is well worth noting that diplomats
who have remained longest in China
speak most favorably of the governing
class, and the Hon. George F.. Seward,
formerly United States Minister at
Picking, is quite positive no Tartararmy
can be raised in Manchooria, as that
province is now thoroughly Chinese.
The Manchoo language has entirely
disappeared. In Mongolia there is still
a Tartar-like class, but the people are
utterly unframed in modern war; and
LII Hung Changes well armed and dis
ciplined force could carve them up
easily. But Mr. Seward does not be-
lieve there is any formidable rebellion.
He considers it only the uprising of
predatory bands due to local famine.

her memoirs of Lawrence Oliphant. 1t
was Harris who made the lives of Lady
Oliphant and her son so miserable by
taking away all their property and set
ting them to mental tasks that they
might attain to high spirituality. Soon
after writing letter in the Phillips
Brooks controversy which made stir
Miss Chevallier went to Fountain
Grove to get the ''heavenly breath"
from ''The Primate of the Brotherhood
of New Life as Harris calls himself.
She found Founnain Grove a beautiful
place and Harris beautiful man. The
estate includes 1000 acres, 400 in vine
yard. She lived with her mother
in a cabin on the mountain side
near the Primate's hermitage.
When she first met Harris there he
put his hand on her head and gave a
grunt, saying that the vampires of
preachers had nearly destroyed her
spirituality. He would, however, ac-
cept her as member of his community
and in time would make her his "Queen
of the East" Miss Chevallier found
dIuOup OOlcTS III Tic
Parting, a widow of an East Indian
coffee-planter, who had brought her
two daughters and her younger sister,
all formerly of high English society, to
the place to live under the spiritual
care of the Primate. Mrs. Parting
gave up large fortune to Harris. One
of the girls, an accomplished artist is
now washing clothes for Harris, an
other is maid in his household,
and another sets type for him.
Prince Kanaye Nagavasa, a Japanese,
and one of his countrymen named Ari,
are members of the community. Arr
has charge of the private printing house
from which Harris issues his many re-
ligious and spiritual books. Miss
Chevallier found Harris to be very
wealthy. Most of his money has been
brought to him by his converts, who
have numbered several hundred. The
Primate, who claims that he will never
die is an old man of marvellous hyp-
motto power, which he has eXerted for
years over his subjects. He eats oysters
and drinks champagne, while they are
given bacon and bread. He dresses in
long sillxen robes and wears white
chamois gloves. His followers wear
coarse clothing, till the soil and clean
out his stables. Miss Chevallier re-

pardon James Dunlap, the North
ampton bank robber, although
the council had voted to recon-
mend such action. 1t seems that the
council was divided in the matter,
and as Gov. Russell has received many
letters from prominent men protesting
against the pardon he has decided not
to release the noted prisoner.
The efforts of Mrs. Mary Scott-Row-
land of Boston to secure the release of
James Dunlap have extended over a
period of nearly ten years. 1t was in
April, 1882, that she received her
charge, when her husband, Robert c.
Scott, the Northampton bank robber,
lay dying within the State prison at
Charlestown, Mass. SCOT always re-
garded Dunlap as his creation-a
criminal for whom he was responsible
and besought his faithful wife to
rescue Dunlap from his living death.
Then Scott, weighed down by his
shame, died of broken heart.
From that day Mrs. Scott exerted
every effort to secure the prisoners
release, with the dying words of her
husband, MARY, never desert poor
jim, for am the cause of his being
where he is" constantly before her.
Though Scott and Dunlap were each
sentenced to twenty years, Mrs. Scott
declares that the real guilty ones were
allowed to go free. Twice was par
don almost within her grasp, when il
faded away, and now for the third
time she has failed again.
During all these years, despite the
fact that Mrs. Scott Rowland possesses
happy home IN New York, she has
devoted the greater part of her time to
visiting Dunlap, working for his re-
lease and writing him cheering letters.
The decision of the executive council
yesterday is sad disappointment to
the noble-hearted woman who has
labored so faithfully to carry out the
wishes of her dishonored, dying hus-
band.
Mrs. Scott-Rowland's first marriage
was runaway match. She met Robert
Scott while a pupil at the Moravian
seminary, Bethlehem, Pa. The young
couple loved, and failing to obtain
their parents consent, eloped to New

Chevallier Exposes Him.

The attention of the President of the
United States has lately been called to
community at Fountain Grove, Cal,
ana known as 1.-The Primate of the
Brotherhood of New Life"
The community numbers about 400
and was established some two years ago
by one Thomas Lake Harris, who for
merly followed literary pursuits in
Boston.
As the name might suggest it per-
tains to religious sect. Harris is
known as the Fountain Head of the
New Life. The others are his subjects.
He rules them after the manner of an
Eastern monarch of bygone ages.
Up to recently, Miss A. A. Chevallier
of Boston was a member of the COM
munity Miss Chevallier is Boston
sociologist, writes for the Arena,
Forum, Esoteric and other contem-
porary periodicals. 1t is she who was
to become ''Queen of the Celestial En-
pire in the Skies" over which Harris is
King in his spiritual form. The various
processes through which she was re-
quired to pass before she attained the
celestial throne were marred by one re-
pulsive obligation. And repulsed she
calls on the President of the United
States to extinguish the community
whose practices she says is as bad, if
not worse, than those practiced among
the Mormons.
Her story is stranger that the tale
told of Harris by Margaret Oliphant in

The Majority OF Them Are Small Ones

Inc hduoTuy 1Hem are Small One8

From the Century.
1t is safe to estimate that there is at least one
yacht to every 10000 people in the land. and
that an average yacht will carry at least ten
persons. This means that there are at least
5000 yacht owners in the country and that
GO 900 people may participate in pleasure sail
ing; large number, surely, to be devoted to q
sport which is necessarily confined to localities
near the water and which is an expensive pas
time. The public hears much Of vessels of the
Volunteer and Crawling types, champions Of
the "big boat classes, but the real yachters Of
the land are the owners of small boats in fact;
the big-boat owner generally keeps a small
yacht in which to enjoy himself when he feels
like being master Of his own craft. few
statistics will render this quite plain.
Figures that are somewhat incomplete show
that there are over 200 organized Yacht clubs in
the United States, which enroll nearly 1000
yachts. OF these less than one-thirteenth are
steam vessels, launches, &C., and not sailing
boats at all. One-eleventh are classed as large
yachts, including many steam and sail vessels,
big schooners and sloops, all Of more than forty
feet water line measurement. That is to eay,
of 1000 recorded yachts fve-sixths are sailing
vessels under forty feet.
This shows conclusively that the majority Of
American yachts are small boats that are man
aged by their owners. II IL safe to assert thst
there ore at least 2 900 more Hmnii yachts which
arc not entered in climbs and Of which no exact
record can be given.
