HEALER SCHRADER AGAIN.
He Suddenly Arrives in Los Angeles
to Heal the Sick.

Los Angeles, Oct. 1.-Schrader, the
so-called divine healer, arrived here
from Albuquerque yesterday Schra-
der is only IS years old He is a most
remarkable man in appearances. He
has d high, smooth forehead. a large
nose. somewhat fattened and BLUSH
grey eyes. Thich hair of a reddish
tinge falls to his shoulders. When ask
ed the nature of his power and how to
use it, Schrader said:
Il receive the power from God; that
is all know about it. 1t is neither
magnetism nor electricity; it is simply
a divine gift, born in me. and not ac-
quired. Yes, it requires faith in God
on the part Of the patient to be bene-
fitted
This healer charges nothing for his
services. In Texas it is said thousands
were treated by him The Santa Fe
and other railroads ran excursions to
accommodate the crowds.

CHIMES FOR TRINITY.
Notes the Chimes and Records Them
in q Phonograph.

New York, Oct. lin the steeple of
Trinity cathedral Sunday morning the
historic bells chimed for the benefit Of
pOsterity.
For a week two men under the direc-
ton of an expert electrician have been
preparing a photograph, which today
was used to record the notes Of the
bells The bell-ringer was so much in
terested in the experiment that he
made an incautious movement in the
first hymn, which resulted in an imper-
feet note. That ruined the first record.
The other tunes were taken correctly,
six selections IN all, closing with ''Lo,
He Comes, in Clouds Descending
Electrician Kaiser then tested the re-
suit and found that the chimes had
been clearly reproduced in every note.
The idea of recording the chimes has
long been under consideration, but
there was some delay, due to the fact
that the noises Of Broadway rendered it
impossible to conduct the work on any
other day than Sunday. Finally. how
ever, Rector Morgan Dix gave his con-
sent and the experiment. which began
last Sunday, viii be finished next

Great Suffering Wrought by the
Storms in China.

San Francisco. Oct. 1.-THE latest ad-
vices from the Orient, by the China,
report that further severe storms have
occurred in the southern and western
districts, in which part of Kobe suf-
fered and railway cOmmunicat ton be
tween Toxic and Yokohama was inter
rupted and is not yet completely re-
stored In Hi0go and Gifu procedures
enormous damage has been done to
property and a large number of lives
lost by floods which followed. ThoUs-
ands Of houses were demolished, bridges
washed away. roads destroyed and
growing crops devastated The full
amount of damage and loss of life have
yet to be reported, but it viii amount
to something enormous.
]. #. Connolly, the United States con-
sui at Kobe. was passenger on the
steamer. He gave a graphic account of
the havoc by the storm and flood.
The people are in sorry plight and
they are staring famine ia the face.
On Mr.. Connelly's trip up he saw myri-
ads of tiny rice tassels floating about
in great prOfusi0n. which indicate crops
destroyed. Decaying animal life is
scattered everywhere under the debris
of buildings and the people are threat
ened with pestilence.

HARD TIMES FOR BEES.
Make Plenty of Fine Honey CombBut
It Contains No Honey.

Beaver Falls. Oct. During this
summer when work was scarce a num-
Der of the mill men here spent some
time in the woods and fields watching
the fight OF the wild bees, and by that
means located a number Of what ap-
peared to be excellent bee trees, judg-
ing from the number of bees going in
and out
Last night the bee hunters, armed
with lanterns, axes and pals to carry
away the sweets. visited three OF the
trees and cut them down, after first
killing the bees with sulphur fumes.
The harvest was a poor one, for instead
Of getting several hundred pounds or
honey, as they confidently expected,
they did not get a gallon pail fun. The
insides of the trees were lined with
magnificent comb, but it contained no
honey.
The same report of no honey comes
from all those who keep bees. Bee
keepers say it was owing to the inces-
SAINT rains of this summer that washed
all the nectar and honey making quail
tiles out Of the flowers.

that the dispatch of such note d.

Difference to that expression the span

Minister Taylor that the memorandum
