REMARKABLE EXHIBITION
Of a Marvellous POWer--Scenes That
Cannot Be Described.
METZER0TT MUSIC HALL THE
PLACE.
Drs. DAMON and MAYNARD the Attraction.

A large and enthusiastic audience greeted
these marvels of the nineteenth century at the
above hall yesterday afternoon. Many were
drawn there out of mere curiosity, but the
majority went hoping to find relief from suf-
fering. 1t is well said that ali the world is a
stage and we are all actors, but when we see
such men as Drs. Damon and MAYNARD we
fully realize that few excel. and that all great
actors. as well IS physicians, are born and
not made. The cures yesterday were, if any,
thing, more marvellous and astounding than
ever before. Seeming impossiblities we're
performed with all the ease and grace of these
genial men
1t is a fact that the wiset. best educated.
and most enlightened people OF Washington
are daily becoming converts to these new
principles and methods which are supported
by such grand and overwhelming evidences
anG proofs that no reasoning mind can dis
pute; realities that echo and re-echo in the
human mind as they witness the grandest
and most sublime panorama of living truths
as presented by these wonderful physicians.
DIR. Damon is to the medical world what
Booth was to the theatrical. Beecher to the
theological, and Ingersel TO the oratorical a
man towering above all others in the art of
healing by these newer methods. BY touch
without even removing the outer garments
OF the patient-all.in full view of the vast audi
ences, he heals the sick, causes the lame to

These free clinics. for the benefit of the poor.

DR.. Damon came 10 Washington. Thousands
have witnessed them; thus it is an assured
fact, beyond dispute, by even his most bitter
rivals.
Some twenty or more difficult cases were
treated yesterday; among them were cases Of
paralysis. rheumatism, deafness and inlamed
joints, all OF which were quickly relieved,

Sunday" under penalty of 200 pounds of
tobacco The barber who breaks the Sab
bath will doubtless have TO put up the to

lent, for each and every o1ense proved against
him.
John E. Lyon. owner of premises at the
corner of Eighteenth and d streets southeast,

DRINK-cRAZED BARBER.
Noah Brooks, Armed with a Razor. Runs
Amuck in South Washington

Amuck in South Washington
A reign OF terror prevailed in the vicinity
OF First street and Virginia avenue south
west yesterday afternoon until Policemen
Koppen and Schroeder, of the Fourth pre-
cinct, appeared on the scene and placed Noah
Brooks, burly colored barber, under arrest
1t appears that Brooks became temporarily
crazy from the effects of too much cheap
frewater. and .arming himself with cleaning
razor, ran amuck down Virginia avenue The
first man to crss his path was Robert Parker,
also colored, and it came near causing him
TO lose his life.
AS Brooks spied Parker he uttered wild
yell of defiance and, dashing at the latter,
razor. Brooks then seized Parker and in
throwing him to the ground cut his (Brooks)
hand with the keen-bladed weapon. by
stander gave the frantic Brooks several
whacks with a club, which caused him to turn
from the PROSTATE Parker and make for the
club-wielder like a wild bull in a Spanish
arena
He then charged against Richard Mat
thews, who, being better sprinter than the
desperate, made his escape into neighbor-
ing alley. After terrorizing the neighborhood
the frantic Brooks spied the police, and
rushed into George McGow's barber-shop,
corner of Eighteenth street and Virginia ave-
nue., where Policeman Koppen found him
erouching in a corner. The razor, covered
with his own blood was found on him, and
in the police court to-day Brooks will be
charged with two cases OF assault and one OF
carrying concealed weapons

From Political Point of View HawaiPs
First Election Was Failure.

HONOLULU, Nov. 3-(via Victoria, B. c.,
Nov 12).-The first election of the rev re-
public was failure from a political point of
view. On this, the principal island, there
was only one man who ran against the gov
ernment ticket and was defeated.
Every candidate was pledged to support
annexation TO the exclusion of everything
else. This was the platform of the American
Union party, and was applied to any senator
or representative who would not declare him
self as a true blue annexationist.
Now that the election is over the public
mind is wondering when the two houses will
meet !or their first session. No definite date
has been set yet, but it is hardly likely that
the legislature will be called together until

WHAT FORMER PATIENT OF DIR. RIEeEL
SAYS IN REGARD TO MODERN TREATMENT OF
CATARRH, BRONCHITIS, AND PULMONARY DIS
EASE IN GENERAL.
Oct. 8, 1894.
Dr. Riegel. 1884 18th st. NV:
My DEAR FRIEND: Acting upon your ad-
vice that walking in the open air is the very
best form of exercise have devoted the sum-
mef and early fall TO that form. On yester-
day L returned from a sixteen-mile
walk UiG Chain Bridge and Langley,
W., without fatigue or soreness. In
climbing the hills l was particular TO
notice the absence of asthmatic symptoms; in
fact my lungs seem capable OF any work
quired in ordinary labor. few months ago
these long walks would have been impossible;
sharp pains in the throat and lungs. Now all
fering from catarrh and bronchitis, went to
the pine forests of North Carolina, and while
ii effected a cure he lost several years time
from his business. By your new method and
invention you bring to the relief OF us poor
mortals the healing virtues of the aromatic
baisam, pine, spruce, and vegetable oils in
concentrated form. These soothing and heal
ing remedies being vaporized and inhaled,
bring magical relief and permanent cure. BY
your system no medicine goes into the
stomach. This secures regular and good
appetite, and with open air exercise makes
good blood with which the lungs are nour-
ished and kept strong. J. W. FARRAR,
Treasury Department.
