a large number of remarkable cures
Rut what is the secret Of his power,
wlether due to the unique personal
MAGNETISM Of the man or some abb
normal Gift, it is impossible to say.
The whole subject is involved in OBJ
souritv. which has been, if anything,
increased by the widespread vogue
that has come to him.
The facts as to the man himseli'so
far as they appear to be established,
are substantially as follows: He is
an Alsacian peasant, fairly well edu'
Gated and intelligent, who came to
This country few years ago and set
tied in Jamesport, Long Island, as a
shoemaker. His record in James
mort was good. He was addicted to
no bad habits, made excellent shoes,
paid his way and saved money. he
was in love with a young woman,
who, however, refused to marry him.
In the society Of the village he was
sized up as a good fellow,wit queer
views who could stalk like a book.
He had "visions, also and had much
to say about the great questions OF
! life and destiny But at this time
he made no preteusions to the pos
session Of any unusual powers,
Last year he went to New Mexico
and was next heard of as a wonder
/ full "New Messiah, with an extraor-
binary power of curing diseases. he
at once became locally famous, but
we believe that he was finally impris
oned in that Territory for falsely
claiming divine powers. However
that may be, he went TO Denver a
few months ago, and since then his
career has been closely followed by
the public. II is easy TO say that
he is a oharlatan, who is deceiving
the public, or that he is hall-crazy
enthusiast, who is deCeiving himself;
but either OF these theories involves
dlAicslties that are almost insupera-
ble. For,as we have observed. there
/ is satisfactory evidence that he has

these cures been wrought under the
Auspices of the Roman Church, which
claims still to exercise the power OF
miracle conferred on the Apostles by
Jesus, we should be able to classify
them with such phenomena as
Lourdes and other shrines. Or had
Schlatter gained a following OF ig'
norant and superstitiOus people, the
whole matter might be dismissed as
unworthy of notice. But the healer
appears to be working independently
Of any religious denomination, and
if the accounts of him are trustwor
thy, he claims some mysterious mis-
sion from "the Father" presumably
God by virtue Of which he says,he is
able to do what he does. Moreover
he has been exercising his vocation
in a CITY whose citizens are perhaps
| less given to creduility and supersti
tious illusions than any other com
munity in the world.

In my county, for example, we have a
number Of wooden mills Until very re-
Gently they hove been run upon a rough
and cheap class of goods. In the last two
or three years, however, they have under
taken a higher grade of work, and in order
to do it they have been obliged to import a
large number Of skilled laborers from
Massachusetts, and other New England
States. Msst of these men are Republi-
cans. A like condition exists in other
counties There has baen a change, too.
among Democrats who are naturally in

that Republican supremacy will more GER

There is no question that the protection
sentiment among all classes is now very
strong, and many who believe in the doc
trlne have been disguised by the business
depression of the last two years NatuE
ally they turn to the party which is not in
power for relief, especially In view of the
fact that that party has a consistent pro

Indications of another bond issue in the
very near future are daily becaming more

What use is there in eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does you
more harm than good, for such is the case il
it is not digested.
II you have a loathing for food there is no
use Of forcing it down, for it win not be d.
Rested. You must restore the digestive or

food to be digested when an appetite will
come, aud with it relish for food.

The improvements (Oat the mouth
of the Mispillion are at a standstill.
Those in charge of the work are at
a loss, so it seems, what to do next.
The work proposed has been com
pleted as far as the bikes are con-
cerned but within twenty-four hours
of their completion a miniature storm
came and tore the bikes from their
position and left the rivers mouth
in much worse condition than it was
before work was begun. Where
there was ten feet of water before
the work was begun there is scarcely
four feet now and it is impossible for
vessels to get in or out of the river,
except during a very heavy tide
OF the many vessels trading regularly
in and out of the MispIlliOn, some
are now lying outside unable to get
in and others are lying inside unable
to get out. The work as it now
stands is a complete and total fail
ure. Where there was all the depth
of water needed there is now not
enough to float the smallest of our
river craft. The engineers in charge
can make all the explanation they
please and say what they like in
apology or justification any man with
any Judgment at all knows the Mis-
billions mouth is ruined to all in
tents and purposes. The work done
up to the present moment had much
better never been done at all. There
is indeed something under the sur
face. This is the second appropria-
ton that has been exhausted here
without any practical benefit being
derived. Milford receives and ships
more freight over the Pennsylvania
railroad than any town on this Pen
insula with the single exception OF
the city of Wilmington Why is it
that all the other rivers are perma-
nently benefited while the Mispil-
lion is to all purposes ruined2 There
is something radically wrong some
where. Experienced engineers have
no right to err in what should be
such an easy thing for them, They
are experienced and supposed to
know their business, but here they
have simply made total and per-
feet failure. The storm may be re
sponsible for it all as those in charge
will probably claim, but the storm
that did the damage was only little
affair compared to what we have a
half dozen times each year The
concensus of opinion is that the work
will be a failure as long as continued
as now proposed and as now being
done. Some one is to blame, either
for not wanting a permanent and per
feet outlet or for incompetency-
Who is to blameY This Is the ques-
ton vessel owners and captains
would like to have answered.

While fully concurring in the result
arrived at in the foregoing OPT Mon,
which L feel compelled to do under
our statute and the authorities cited,
yet 1 feel strongly that our statute
should be so amended as to specifically
limit the liability of owners of build
ings under liens filed by mechanics
and material men, this having been
done in many of the United States
and being a matter which should be
controlled by local statute.

He Deceived the People and Is In the
Penitentlary for q Year.

At Atlantic, Iowa, on May 4, @. M.
Ailor, alias Grip" Ailcr, was convict
ed of deceiving the people by selling
worthless compound, which he repre-.
sented to be Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
was sentenced by Judge Macy to one
year at bard labor in the Iowa State
Penitentiary. Ailor's methods were
those of a travelling fakir. He has
been travelling through Missouri, Ne.
braska and Iowa, making stands of a
day or more in each town, and repre-
senting himself as an agent.under sal
airy from G. Hood and Company, and
selling his %concoction at one dollar or
fifty cents per bottle, giving with each
sale various other worthless articles.
Citizens Of Griswold, Iowa. became
suspicious and ascertaining from q
druggist that Ailor's compound was
not Hoods Sarsaparilla, but merely
colored water, had him arrested. Three
indictments were found against him,
the jury convicted him after only thir-
ty minutes elaboration, and he was
sentenced as above. This incident sug-
gests the wisdom of purchasing medi-
cines only of reputable dealers whom
you know. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
never sold by peddlers, and such offer
ing IL should be at once reported to the
authorities, or to G. 1. Hood & Co.,
Lowell, Mass.
