Startling Revelations in Occult Sei-

A large and enthusiastic audience greeted
the marvel OF the nineteenth century at
Metzrott Hall yesterday. Many were drawn
there out OF mere curiosity. but the majority
went hoping TO find relief from suffering. 1t
is we'll said thar all he world is stage and
we are all actors, but when we see such men
as DIR. Damon We fully realize that but few
excel, and that all great actors, as we'll rs
physicians, are born and not made.
The cures yesterday were. If anything. moro
marvellous and astounding. Seeming impos-
sibilities were performed. An old man eighty
four years of age, partially paralyzed and
suffering agonies with rheumatism for eight
years, was made to run and jump like boy.
Several eases OF deafhess-one of fifty years
standing cured in a few minutes. One
or two cases of blindness we're made TO soc
after a short time with this gentleman. Cases
too numerous to mention of tumors, goiires,
and rheumatism; liver and heart difficulties
were cured almost instantaneouslY.
These free lectures and clinics will be con-
tinued every dav during the week at 2:30
Friday ano,her special lecture to ladies will
be given, after which as many rs possible will
be cured in full view OF every one present.

Remarkable Hunting Adventure of Prince

Remarkable Hunting Adventure of Prince
Hohenlohe'S Son and Baron Yietinghoff.
1t would be difficult to find on record a
stranger hunting adventure than that exper-
fenced by Prince Hohenlohe, son OF the Ger
man chancellor, and Baron yietinghof the
other day.
They went out together to shoot stags, and
agreed to decoy the animals by initiating
their call on special horn. The hunters sep
and went in different directions. During tho
course of the day they approached each other,
and each heard the others decoy call and be-
lieyed stately stag was before him. Initial
ing the heavy steps OF the animal they noisily
drew still nearer The imitation of the steps
and call was so we'll done that they finally
arrived within ten PAGES of each other with
out perceiving their mistake.
The thicket was 80 dense that they could
not see through it. Both stood STILL repeat
ing the challenge from time to time. Each
still firmly believed that he was within few
PAGES of a real stag. At last the Prince tired
of waiting, fred thrice rapidly in the direc-
ton of the supposed game. The first bullet
glanced Of the cartridge belt of Baron Wet
inghoff. the second struck his watch and
sprang off, the third fell dead from his pocket
book well i1lled with papers.
The young baron, though hit three times.
stood unwounded. He was so convinced
that not his fellow hunter, but stag was be-
fore him. that he attributed the shots to the
explosion OF cartridges in his belt and busted
himself unfastening his belt for the purpose
of throwing it away. The astonishment OF
both when they at last found OUT what had
happened was great.

Is the Assessment Correct.

Albert NJ. Raymond in a recent letter to the
Commissioners gives the following addi-
tional reasons why they should reconsi Ter
the assessment for water mains against the
side OF lot 90, block So Rosedale:
~. The law, by its proviso for the assess
ment OF corner lots upon their front, conyevs
an equitable intent, and it is your sworn duty
as officers OF this District to apply the law
not to the side OF lot, but in case of TWO
fronts. to that front that will bring about its
most equitable intent
SO. The law does not discriminate between
a corner LOT formed by street and an alley
and one formed by two streets. The proviso
applies alike to each, therefore, the assess
ment against the side OF the alley and of this
lot for nearly five times the amount assessed
against the other end where thirty feet more
man is used is the vcry abuse of the law in
tended to be prevented by the proviso.
"3. That portion of the law relating to the
other front in excess of 100 feet in depth
means the side OF corner lots in excess Of 100
feet not having front upon which they NAV
be more equitably assessed with other lots in
the samo block. Furthermore, l am in
formed that this is the construction put upon
the law by District Attorney Thomas
II. As forty eight other lots in this block
have rear frontage upon the alley this lot
has also legal frontage there, hence. again
request that the assessment upon the side
OF this LOT be recalled as not being in accord
ance with the letter and intent of the law
