of bachelor farewell blowout, as 1t were

A man named Schrader Sounds much
like Schlatter, the Denver healer) has
been arrested in Cincinnati and brought
before the mayor, chief of police and
health inspector for examination. He,
unlike Schlatter, calls himself divine
healer. His robe is a peculiar one and on
his head he wears crown OF thorns, but
the points of the thorns are cut off 50
that they are quite harmless. lie says
the power is transmitted from his hand
as we'll as from his clothing. The health
officer declared him a nuisance, not Only
by blocking the streets but by engender-
ing disease in passing his unclean hands
over the faces of persons afflicted with
various ailments. He was ordered to
leave the city at once and promised TO do

and while Mckinley is overwhelmingly

It is Reeds determination to give up
politics upon the conclusion of his present

Manitoba will not grant RELIEF to tho
Catholics of that province in the matter
