A "Divine" Healer.
THE POLICE ORDER HIM TO MOVE ON

IHE POLICE ORDER HIM TO MOVE ON.
CINCINNATI, o., April 1. A man named
Schrader, calling himself the divine
healer, has been in Cincinnati since Satul-
day last freely ''healing the sick,' as he
styles his work. He wears a peculiar
robe, and on his head rests crown of
thorns, the inner thorns made harmless
by cutting off the points. He claims
that his power is transmitted from his
hand or even from his clothing.
To- day he was brought before the
mayor, chief of police and the health Off
GERS for examination. The health officers
told him pointedly that he not only caused
a nuisance by blocking the streets but
was menace to the health of the COM
munity by passing his unwashed hands
over the faces and hands of the people,
many of whom are diseased. The health
officer ordered him to leave the city at
once. Schrader promised to go.

Cancers.

We have numerous inquiries in re-
gard to S. S. S. in cases of internal
cancers, such as cancer Of the womb,
stomach and bowels. When the dis
ease attacks these organs, the doctors
generally admit that it is incurable.
We make no boast of what S. S. 5. will
do in such cases, as the following let
tiers we feel are worth more than vol
umes of claims that we might make.

SPIRITU AIIsM. The sooner the church

It appenrs that the outsiders are re-
sisting all efforts to induce them to en-
ter the combination II they stay out
It is conceded that the trust is doomed.
There arc In the United States about
1900 mil manufacturing machines. and
according to arguments advanced by
the trust, $500 OF them can turn out a
supply fully equal to home demand and
purposes OF export.
The annual output Is figured at from
5000, 900 to 100000 kegs. At the
conference the trust tried to explain
their export prices, which are 81 less
than their figures In the home market,
This was, so 1t was argued, first to
meet the low priced competition in the
foruign market and, secondly. to make
nm outlet for the production, so as
to keep the mills going and the opera
tlves employed.
The nail trust, now dangerously near
collapse as n result OF outside competl-
tlon, which 1t has affected to dGspiSc,
was organized In the spring Of 1886.
Prices were advanced by big Jumps
making consumers feel that they were
powcrlcss in the grip Of combine that
had the power to do with the nail mar

Said n railroad man yesterday: Had

have had no Saturday half-holiday this

The power Of the press Is no myth.
The employees will spend their hrst

the base ball game will attract the larB-

no employer will lose by granting the

to note that the Main street establish

TREND OF TRADE.
Features of the DnIIneSS WOrld-cOndi'
ton OF the Iron aud steel Market.

Features of tbp Business WoTId-Condi'
tIOn OF the Iron aud steel Market.
NEW YORK. June 5.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review OF trade, which is
sues tomorrow, will say:
1t is highly suggestive that, with as
little help Us there Is now from new
business markets are so nearly main
talned. Summer is close at hand
and with new crops promising well and
old stocks large It Is no wonder that
the farm products are cheap. The fac
tories and mills are still waiting for the
rush OF business seen last year, and
in spite OF narrow orders at present
are generally holding on with much
confidence. il IS so late that gold eX-
ports no longer alarm, for the date OF
expected returns draws near. The
opinion gains ground that more active
business is to be expected after the con-
vcnuons have been held and the safety
and sufIlciency OF crops hav been as
sured.
Decline in wheat and cotton has help
cd marketing the surplus. SO that ex-
ports have been more liberal.
Tne hardest problem OF the day IS
whether iron and steel prices can be
maintained, as they have bene during
the past week. The nail associations
have failed thus far to win over COM
petitors who undcrsell them, and are
able TO manufacture 5000 kegs against
every 100000 by concerns in the COM
blnatIon. The bar association asks for
Iron more than the selling price for steel
bars. Open hearth billets are more
freely sold at Pittsburgh below the
price asked for Bessemer, and middle
men are still selling Bessemer billets
about 81 below the price fixed by tho
pool. Naturally the doubt regarding
maintenance of prices greatly checks
the demand for the present, but belief
that q much larger demand Is certain
and will not long be delayed, Is the ona
thing which prevents considerable de-
cline.
The textile manufacturers are walt
Ing with some cotton goods reduced
still further in price and GinghamS to
the lowest point ever known, while M
Increase appears in the demand. Sales
OF wool still far below half the guam
tlty required for a full consumption,
and prices have further declined. The
average Of quotations by Coates Bros.
fell In below 13 cents for the first time,
making the fall AS per cent in i've
years. Clay worsteds and mixtures,
fancy caslmeres and fancy worsteds
are a shade lower, the average OF rep
resentatIve prices being 2S.4 per cent
lower than in the spring Of 1890, against
2737 a month ago.
Fixtures for the week were 234 in tho
United States, against 1876 last year. and
% in Canada, against % last year.
