THRILLING EXHIBITION BY DRS.
HEHI0N AND EVANS
IN WILLARD HALL.
MARVELLOUS MAGNETIC POKER

Yesterday morning Willard Hall, on f
street. was filed with people 10 witness the
remarkable cures performed by Drs. Henion
and Evans. Many and various were the dis
eases treated by them. To one they gave
sight to another hearing: straighten a limb
for this one, cure q pain for that one; and.
as if by magic, they cure diseases of years
standing that have baified the skill OF the best
physicians; and they fill the patient with new
life and strength.
It was DIR. Henon that cured the late
Justice Lamar of catarrh os the head and
throat, after the best specialists OF this coun-
try had failed 10 benefit him. This Justice
said over his own signature (Which Dr. Hen
ion has IN his posSesSion) that latter two
| days magnetic treatment and medical appli-
cations by DR.. Henion, 1 passed the first day
in four years without paroxysms of sneezing;
that would cause me to leave the bench; the
doctor has cured me OF a head and throat
trouble that has been the torment of my
life 1t was DIR. Henion that cured Belya
Lockwood of q bronchial trouble and a deaf
ness as well. 1t was DR.. Henion who cured
Chief Paris of q terrible catarrh and nasal
polypus 1t was DR.. Henion-who cured Mrs
), ". Marshall wife of the Pennsylvania
station-master. of consumption. 1t WAS DR..
Henion who cured Mrs. III. S. Greenleaf. the
wife OF Hon. Fl. S. Greenleaf. of spinal irri-
tation and gastralgia of eleven years stand
Z -
ate, is q highly-educated physician, and like
DR.. Henion, has been treating magneii-
cally from boyhood. He was a surgeon
in the late war. and has long list of
names of prominent people as patients, as the
following will show: Rev. Dr. Ide, cure OF
neuralgia, deafness, and partial blindness.
1t was DIR. Evans who cured the Hon. NJ. Fl.
Stilwell Of rheumatic gout and deafness. 1t
was DIR. Evans who cured the late Gen.
| Longstreet Of paralysis. DR.. Evans cured
Lord Lonsdon'' of congestion OF the kidneys
of a chronic character. Many more equally
| noted cases could be referred to. but we have
neither time nor space. You will only have
to go to Willard Hall and listen to Drs.
Henion and Evans lecture to be convinced
that they are masters of their business. Their
| magnetic power is unequaled, and cures made
| by them are as permanent as your body. The
gift to heal the sick is possessed by but few;
II is as rare as the gift of song, music, or the
higher arts; 1t cannot be acquired, people
| have to be born with it.
| No one should miss going to Willard Hail
! from 10 to IL o'clock every morning; it will
| astonish the skeptical, amuse the mirthful,
and set the serious to thinking Drs Henion
| and Evans have also taken parlors at Will
/ lard's Hotel. where those who are able to pay
me, go from 8 a. m. till p. m. If you are
curabie they can cure you. Admission to
Willard Hall is free, and consultation at the
| doctors parlors is also free. The entrance
! to the doctors rooms 10 on T street.

gas. They Yesterday returned to Congress
the bill providing for reduction in the price

The Commissioners say that such a reduc-
tion as that contemplated would not only en-
barrass the company, but woula, impair the
efficiency..of the service. In lieu of the re-
ductions proposed in the original bill, they
recommend in their substitute measure that
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co II
pany shall be required to furnish to the Dis
trict free OF cost such telephone and ex-
change service rs may be required. aud such
telephone wires and the use of ducts in all

that it pay annually to the collector of taxes

the hands OF the county until last
December when, no claimants appearing,
1t was transferred 10 the public ad-
ministrator, who advertised for heirs In
the Boston papers, Clark having been
born in Charlestown, Mass.
Mayor Curtis of Boston became in
terested in the case, and found two
Bostonians who knew Clarke intimately.
One is Gordon Price, who mace trip
from San Francisco TO ALASKA with
the cak'ain nearly 20 years ago.
The otheS Is James II. Osmoud, with whom
Clark, when a lad OF 10, served in the war.
Osmond brought Clark, who WAS sick and
wounded, TO his mothers bouse in Bos-
ton. The wounded man recovered and
after living with Osmond year Clarke
left for the West. telling his friends when
they heard from him again he would
have something. Ten years later Mrs.
Osmond received q telegram from Clarke
telling her he would be back for Christ
mas dinner with her. lie came and re-
mained several months. In the spring no
left but in the meantime was betrothed TO
Nellie Osmond, sister of the youth who
brought him back from the war. In less
than month Clarke was drowned. Nellie
Osmond still lives unmarried in Boston,
and Louis Slass, president of the Alaska
Company, says that beyond n doubt
Clark would desire Miss Osmond to have
his money. In the absence of a will, how
ever, and unless relatives can be found,
the captains fortune will 60 to the city.
