Boston, Dec 4-"Rev." o. Z. Con-
cannon, a Kansas Undertaking. medium
who has held forth for two Sundays at
the First Spiritual Temple, was ruth
lessly exposed by rs young men this
morning. and a scene bordering on a
riot ensued-
When the naturalization show began
a form appeared enveIOped in a white
robe and with lace film about its head
and there was a hiss and a sudden hand
clap.
This was the signal for a simulta-
neOus rush of some half dozen mem bers
of the audience. Five muscular men
jumped upon the stage, two Of them en-
gaging Mr.. Aver who had turned to
meet them and who We're instantly
seized by him. One partially got away
from Mr.. Aver and pulled the right

Mr.. Concannon was found in state
of absolute nudity having Invested
himself of his 'spirituaP' tOggery. The
audience seemed spellb0und by the
spectacle, and Mr.. Aver was white with
fury and rushed about the platform in
frantic efforts to prevent the onslaught
from the raiders.
The raiders in a compact body left

Whiskers, robes and other parapherna-

JUDGE Field WON'T STIR.
The Aged Justice Says Cleveland
Shan't Appoint His Successor.

Washington, Dec. 4-Some interest
ing Information concerning the rela-
lions between President Cleveland and
Associate Justice Field of the supreme
court came out today. President Cleve-
land for more than a year has been
anxious to appoint a member of his
cabinet to the bench. 1t is admitted
that Justice Field has been incapacita-
ted and unable to do much work for
three or four years; he has been unable
to write an opinion on any case for
more than year; he has PASSED the
years
But Justice Field certainly does not
mean to permit President Cleveland to
appoint his successor.
a mutual friend of President Cleve-
land and Justice Field recently called
on the latter and in a most delicate
manner suggested his retirement. He
mentioned, among other things, that a
mutual friend of theirs could probably
get the position, if he would retire be-
fore Mr.. Cleveland's term expired
Associate Justice Field in reply to
this said in the most emphatic manner
that Mr. Cleveland would never appoint
his successor. The judge manifested q
good deal of feeling, and among other
things remarked that he had been
treated by the president with great dis
respect: that Mr. Cleveland had repeat
edly taken occasion to manifest it in
various ways. On two OccaS iOnS, when
there was a vacancy in the chief jus
ticeship and when all the members of
the court recommended him (F'ield) for
this exalted position, the president ut
terly ignored him. Why he pursued
this course he was never able to learn.
Under the circumstances, therefore, he
had determined. if he could help it,
never to allow President Cleveland to
name his successor
These facts were communicated to
President Cleveland by the mutual
friend, and the president. it is said, eX-
pressed much surprise at the feeling
which Justice Field entertained toward
him.
The cabinet official whom the presi-
dent desired to appoint is Secretary Of
the Treasury Carlisle.

Young Woman's Complaint Which

Of physicians have been invoked in one
of the most peculiar cases. Tt is that of
Miss Hon of Shell City. daughter of
Rev. Mr. Hoff
She is perfectly healthy and strong
and vigorous in every way, but is trOub-
led with a singular complaint which
seems to be getting more pronounced as
time passes.
The trouble with Miss Hoff is that she
has hard work to keep awake. If she
sits down for a few minutes during the
day she falls at once into sound sleep
and several times as she was about the
house she has been known to fall
asleep standing up.
She is easily awakened by those
around her. but if left alone she falls
off again into another nap. The trouble.
has been gradually coming ON for some
months. and the young woman now
sleeps most of the time

REHAN As LADY GAY.
Her Success in London Assurance
is Great.

New York. Dec. Ada Rehan add
ed another wreath last night to her
already abundant laureis. She created
a new character in an old play, and
brought to fresh and ebullient life a
comedy which for some years has been
as dead as Marley. London Assur-
ance'' was revived at Days TO afford
an opportunity for some proof Of the
genius of this distinguished eOmedi-
enne and before that crucial test Of
the play-its hunting speech-was ar
rived at Lady Cay SpanSer was as
modern in interest and as admirable in
technique as any character in the Re
han repertoire
Originality of conception and treat
ment has still instanced this gifted
players studies. and her Lady Gay is
as novel in design as her ROsalind and
Peggy Thrift. She has refined the
part beyond the plane on which Bou-
cicault placed it, made Lady Cay more
of a gentlewonan than she has hith-
erto been, and necessarily has abated
something Of the audaciOus masculine
quality lent to the role by Rose Cogh-
Ian. But the change is agreeable and
the performance is SO Womanly and
attractive that. even were it untrue to
art, it would still be true to nature.

air for the propulsion of carriers through
tubes is not patentable.
The part of the service which is pat
ented is the air cushion at the end 50
that there will be no shock when the
carrier is stopped. though it has been go
ing at rate of from 80 to 80 miles an
hour. The quick stoppage is effected by
a cut-off, which drops behind the carrier
just before it reaches the end Of the tube.
All pressure of air is thus instantly re-
moved from behind At the same time
the door at the end of the tube is opened.
and there is force enough remaining in
the chamber behind the carrier to push
it gently out upon the table at the end.

is PROMENADE ALL RIGHT
Contractors Find q Fault in the Con
tractor Who is Laying 1t.

Topeka contractors are finding fault
with the manner in which the new ce-
ment promenade on the south side Of
the state house grounds is being put
down.
They say that the specifications were
complete and required that four inches
of concrete should be put upon the bed
of cinders with which the excavation
for the walk is filed The walk put
down on the east side of the grounds
was placed upon a foundation of con-
crete like that used in the asphalt
pavements.
The walk now being put down is
treated ia a different manner. The
bed of cinders is covered with mix
ture of sand and cement about four
inches thick The sand and cement
is not made into a mortar. but the con
tractors claim it viii harden just the
same.
The executive council insisted when
the contract for the walk was award
ed that the walk should be put down
in the best possible manner and should
carefully follow the specifications.

MOODY HAS A PLAN.
Wants All Christians to Set Aside
january to Save Souls.

New York, Dec. 4.-Dwight L. Moody
has unfolded his plan for Christianiz-
ing the United States. At his after
noon meeting he caused to be read an
address to the Christians Of the coun-
try. suggesting that they set aside all
religious and social engagements and
devote themselves wholly to the saving
of others during the entire month OF
January.
After the address had been read the
evangelist stepped to the front of the
platform in Cooper Union. All In ia
for of adopting this address," said he,
will say Amen!
From all parts Of the hall rose great
chorus of -Amens."
Mr.. Moody felt that his scheme to
Christianize the country would be
given successful start if thessNe- sious
enthusiasm Of his Cooper Union au-
dience could give it. He said he had
never known a time when the pros
pect for the accomplishment of great
things for God was SO promising

WILL CURE RHEUMATISM.
Method of Hot Air Successfully Test
ed in New York.

New York, Dec 4.-EXperiments are
being made in the Hospital for the
Ruptured and Crippled at Lexington
avenue and FOrty-secOnd street with a
new treatment for chronic rheuma-
tism, govt, arthritis and other joint
diseases, which, it has been demonstra-
ted, win cure cases on which old meth
DDS have been tried in vain.
The new method is known as the
Tallerman- Shinold hot air treatment
and is the discovery of Louis A. Taller
man, a retired merchant of London.
1t is the result of three years ex-
pertinent in the London hospitals. where
it has proved amazingly successful, and
the experiments here are being con-
Quoted by Mr.. Tallerman under the
direction of DR.. Gibney, house physi-
clan of the Hospital for the Ruptured
and Crippled.
The results obtained here in the short
time during which the treatment has
been tried have been such as to cause
the prediction that it viii make a rev
olution in the treatment of rheumatic
diseases.
Mr. Tanerman's apparatus consists of
q copper cylinder, in which the affected
part is placed. The cylinder rests on
a furnace by Which the air is heated to
a temperature of from $50 to 800 de-
grees, and an arrangement of valves
and taps keeps the air perfectly dry
and carries off al traces of moisture
and perspiratiOn.
BY this means all danger of burn
ing or scalding the patient by the in
tense heat is avoided and no incOn-
venience is felt. In fact, the sensa-
ton is rather pleasant. and patients
often fail asleep while undergoing the

to relax the stiffened joints render
the supple and restore them to
their normal conditions by setting
up profuse perspiration and increas-
ing the circulation, without any heart

cause there has been distrust and the

they are done with biuboards- This
Will leave a big space on dead walls

viii use none other in the future
This is good start in the east and
there is a good example of the work
ing of the plan in Chicago. The Chi
cago Opera House has not put out a
piece of paper for a year 1t has taken
more space in the newspapers and the
business has never been eQualed. Mr.
Rial. the acting manager, says he is
convinced that paper is money lost.
and that the sooner the theateTs get
away from the custom the better the
business viii fare
"KlaW & Esrlanger have long been
advocates of the change, said Mr.. Rial.
1T cost them money to put out the
posters they have been displaying.
They VIII save a small fortune If they
carry out the resolution to leave the
dead walls to the patent medicine
makers and the other hosts of adver-
tisers who have of late made billboard
work ineffective for theatrical attrac-
lions.
This house has not used a sheet of
paper for a year and there is no dispO-
sition to return to the old custom. Our
business for the year is one of the best
arguments for united action among all
managers. It has been greater than
ever before Then there is a second
advantage in the absence of the vast
free ticket list which goes with bill
posting. Tt does away with the loss
of the first night of the week. which
grew to be known as the paper house.
