LIKE DAYS OF CHRIST
LAME PEOPLE RISE FROM THEIR
CHAIRS AND WALK.
A r markAbio Demonstration of the
Power of Animal Magn stism at San
jose by the Boy Phenomenon.
Many People Healed.

There were fully a dozen pairs o
crutches at the Macdonough theater las
night at about 10 o. clock. for which theil
owners had no further use. Two hours
before the time mentioned these same
crutches had supported dozen twisted
and afflicted human beings. How they
came to be discarded 10 the burden o.
this story.
In response TO the invitation OF Dr.
Temple, a moderately large audience
gathered at the theater to see the mar
velous effects OF the treatment given by
"the boy phenomenon. There were
many prominent people in the audience
including leading physicians, lawyers,
judges and business mon. AS usual
many would no doubt be very skeptical
when they went in, but all were OF one
mind when they went out.
That thu day OF miracles are past is
generally conceded, but hundreds ol
people in this city now think they have
been revived. Last night cripples that
were carried upon the stage left it with
cut their clutches. Paralyzed folks that
had not moved a limb for years won't
through aymnsstic performances like
youngsters; young lady who has been
dumb for a long period was started on
the road TO make first-class gossiper.
And all this and great deal more was
the result of simply laying on OF hands
by the boy phenomenon.
There we're probable 80 cripplea in
the theater, and when the marvellous
results were seen it was with difficulty
they could be restrained from crowding
onto the stage. New Testament stories
we're revived, and the scenes in which
the lonely Nazarene figured were vividly
recalled.
After very clear introductory lecture
on animal magnetism by Prof. w.
Fletcher Hall, DR.. Temple was intro
duced. He did not make speech, but
introduced himself to his audience by
etarting Maria White ON her way re-
joicing. She went on the platform with
the help of three ushers and pair of
crutches and said she had not walked
for three years. In five minutes she
was walking about laughing and seemed
unable to realize that the work was
really done. DR.. Temple shook hands
with her, smiled and escorted her off
the stage. when she astonished the
audience by walking down the steps.
How the audience did cheer and stamp.
Skepticism was allayed, and everybody
appreciated the fact that the lame could
be made to walk. Mrs. White lives at
1865 Third street.
Laurence Orr, q resident at S1l Twen-
ty-frst street, has been unable to turn
his head for two years as the result Of
an accident. He was also paralyz zed in
both legs. After few minatss' treat
ment Mr. Orr was able to spin his head
around like top and walked off the
stage flourishing his crutches in the air.
Catherine Burnett of 758 Sixth street,
who has been unable to move or atir for
ak years, was next carried on the etage.
Her hands were distorted and all her
limbs were paralyzed After working
for coma minutes che was able to use her
arms and fingers perfectly. 1t was
something wonderful to see her stand,
but she wes too nervous to walk far,
but what was done was marvellous.
DR.. Temple had dOle all that he
claimed, the audience throughout, thor
oughly satisfied. gave him an ovation,
and one of the most wonderful enter.
tainmerts ever given at the Macdonough
came to q ose.-[Oakland Morning
Times, July 23d.
The above indorsement of the Boy
Phenomenon and hiH marvellous power
over disease appeared as an editorial in
vestigation, set on foot by the manage
ment of the Oakland Morning Times of
July 23d. Such an unqualified indorse-
ment, coming as it does from one of the
leading and most influential metropoli-
tan dailies in the state, carries more
conviction than 100 pages of paid Rdver-
tisements. Therefore the public are left
to form their own conclusions, from the
above.
The boy phenomenon will give forr
demonstrations in this city at the Los
Angeles theater commencing Sunday
night. The deaf blind and lame, those
on crutches, the paraly tic and rheumatic
will be treated free upon the stage. 30
that all may witness with their own
eyes the healing of the sick by hands.
The box Office for sale OF reserved
seats will be open from 10 a. m. Saturday.
