DIR. Hammond at his residence in this
city few days ago and there incident

This may be an exaggeration, but it
is no joke. The substance really exists,
and the writer had the privilege of see
ing an experimental use of it few
days ago. Let me first say few words
about the history of it's development.
Everybody remembers the wild burst
of enthusiasm with which DIR. Brown
Sequard's elixir of life" was received
some years ago. 1t was the secret hope
of many an old roue, the open delight
of jadcd humorists, an inspiration to
quacks, and. after all, an object of
some interest to the true man of sci
ence. For it really wasn't so absurd as
it was painted. The truth about it was
never printed in the newspapers, and
indeed, couldn't be printed 1t was
founded on principle as old as the
hills and an article of faith 20 most Of
those who ridiculed the elixir.
But what has become of it? Had it
drifted into total obscurity? Probably
most of thc'readers of this article will
be surprised to learn that it formed the
subject of an address before n meeting
of learned and conservative physicians
in New York a few weeks ago, and that
practical results of the development of
the idea were set forth by high med
ical authority. Since the wear and
tear of time have taken away the rags
of imposture from this substance-or

whitman Dunbar, the alleged fraudulent
publisher and compiler, was arraigned yes
terday before Judge Butler in the United
States court at Philadelphia. and remanded
to jail In default of bail With his attor-
neys. he came before Judge Butler to have
his bail reduced. Post Office Inspectors
King and Arlington. who have worked UP
the case against Dunbar. took the stand
and sought to have the bail increased. 1t
was accordingly raised from 81. 800 to 8. 900.
1t is understood that he is making vigorous
efforts to secure bail. II the bond Is not
furnished he will be brought to Washing

were committed here.

This morning Postmaster General Bissefl
received letter from II. A. Jackson, vice
president and general manager Of the Photo
Engraving Company of New York. stating
that in 1889 w. Dunbar and Company of
Washington had secured sl44 worth Of cuts
from that company, and had made a de-
posit of $50. The balance had never been
paid. The letter stated that Dunbar had
sold these cuts at increased rates. Mr..
Jackson said that he had positive knOwl-
edge that several other engraving concerns
had been swindled by Dunbar in the same
way. The letter was referred to Inspector
King.
Dunbar began operations in Washington
in February. 1889. About nine years ago he
operated In Buffalo. N. Y. and remained
there about two years, at the corner Of
Seneca and Main streets He was then ell
gagged in publishing hotel directories After
leaving Buffalo he went to Chicago. and did
business in the Rookery building. corner
La Sale and Adams streets. He also did
business at No. 16l La Sale street. He fall
ed there and came to Washington. While
here his corresponding clerk was H. A.
Kearney who had been in Dunbar's en-
ploy since April, 1880. Miss Fallen and Miss
Aitimus were also employed with him.
From November, 1882 to March. 1890, he was
absent. He secured the services OF Mr..
Kearney at San Francisco while he Oun-
BARI was visiting Communicates.
1t Is likely that some other OF his schemes
will be unearthed.
