Upon being asked how much money
DR.. Warnon had taken from him, Mr..
Knox said that he gave him 81, which
the eminent faith man transferred to
his pocket with ease and dispatch. Mr..
Knox was evidently OF the opinion that
he had run against pious fraud, and
was not bit backward about express
ing his mind concerning him.
REV. wARNoN's RECEPTION.
A HERALD employee was visitor at
one OF Rev. Warnon's RECEPTIONS" as
he calls them, yesterday afternoon. He
heard of the wonderful power exerted
by the divine healer, and wanted to be
cured Of dyspepsia, which has caused
him many sleepless night and the loss
of much money in vain endeavor to
become cured. He tells of his viait to
Rev. Warnon as follows:
II was directed to room so OF this Hof-
H. Il -.
telling patients to go to room 40 and
wait, and not block the hallway. There
was also statement that the room WAS
Tor private consultation.
II went to the room indicated and
found it crowded with old and young.
There were old, grsy-haired men, de-
crepit old women, boys not over years
old, young womeu--in fact, all kinds
and conditions of humanity. A 10-year-
Did boy had broken arm, an old lady
bad one eye gone, an old gentleman had
kidney trouble, and poor young man
was dying OF consumption. They all had
gone there for the purpose that had-to
get cured by laying on of hands or some
process.

hour before my turn would come to be

Five times out of 10 the blanks were
