HIS IDENTTTY DISCOVERED.
Translated
The Frpic Prose- j. informed by some
friends Iare,y f,ou Chicago that "ne OF

is the Great PhreneIOIjst from IeNaS.'
He has his booth in ''Fakrr Vow In Mid

In the first place, do not hold
ont myself as the @tireat Phrenolo-
gist from Texas, but only as
.spractical phrenologist." Secondly,
'Faker Row" is an unknown GUAR
ter on midway Plaisance," and
would not be allowed there by the
commissioners. The giant women,
living skeletons, fire-eaters, Vsen-
triloquists, ETC., are outside the
grounds, principally on Stoney
Island and Cottage Grove avenues.
Again. this "Great PhrenOlOglSt
from Texas" does not tell the pe0-
ple of their future destinies by the
formation of their skulls, but he
does sell chronological souvenir
charts. in which he gives accurate
ANALYSIS of minds, and indicates
the callings for which the subjects
are adapted.
So you see that the statements OF
"some friends" of the Freie Presse,
who they are | have good reasons
to surmise, are absolutely and ma
liciously false.
My personal friends know that l
studied phrenOlogy in Candles
book store from '6S to '73. That
during the winter of 1910 | at
tended a course of lectures in Eng
land, in which country | lectured
on the same subject in 1876.
They know also that | have pur-
sued my studies on that subject up
to date, and have held lectures and
examinations at my residence, on
Tobin hill.
Naturally | have no objection to
all the KS which the editor of the
Freie Presse atfiXes to my name,
only he might have been fair
enough to add few more. He
need have no fears about my COM
pany. AS | sit here writing, the
great Ferris Wheel is revolving
just in front of me; just beyond is
the "Vatican of Rome" to my right
is the Algerian Bazaar and to my
left is the city of Cairo, Egypt.
do not expect the editor of the
Freie Presse, let alone "some
friends" to appreciate sciences of
phrenology, physiOgnOmy and
physiology these are understood
only by intellectual and edu-
Gated men. 1t did astOnish me,
however, to find in his pa
Ner an article which is not
only malicious and false, but
which also attempts to hold up
man to public ridicule and con-
tempt for pursuing an honorable
and grand profession.
The editor of the Freie PreSse
ought to be more sympathetic and
cOnsiderate in view of what he
was before he left New Orleans. If
he had followed in the footsteps
of the lamented Siemering in de-
vOtiOn to principle he might still
be a poor man, and might even
now be calling "nickle a shine"
"SOme friends" the editor of the
Freie Presse and that ornate men,
Der of society, the "translatOr,"
may be pleased to learn that |
am in fair way to acquire fame
and fortune and that / shall ere
long pay them my compliments in
person. If Editor Hanschke's KS
should give out, I'll take pleasure
in giving him some more in the
future. If he would like to know
the difference between fOrtune-tell-
ing and the science of phrenology,
etc, he might apply for informa-
ton to Messrs. David and Jess Bell
and the many other San Antonians
who have given years to the study
/ have no booth, as said by "some
friends" but my parlor in the
Egyptian temple, Midway Plais-
ance, is wide open for all Texans,
who are not blank igndramuses.
Respectfully,
JNO. H. COPELAND,
Midway Plaisance.
