before a number Of club women in New
York recently on the place of the Red
cross Society in the home and school.
THE idea of introducing the Red Cross
work into homes and schools is original
with Miss Lindley and she had large
class of children at Chautauqua last
summer where she showed that children
csnnot only learn to take charge of each
other in cases Of emergency, but that
the Youngsters enjoy doing It and go about
it in a much more PRACTICAL way than
their untaught elders

RAIL AND CROssTIE.

The Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road is putting out some large colored
Autographs over the country advertising
the fact that it holds the winning hand
on the short line, quick time, and ele-
giant accommodations for travel from the
north and east to and through Florida.
Inc picture looks very much like the rep
resentations of old Father Time, with q
smile on his face and wink in his
eye, over the general satisfaction he feels
IN holding up to view a royal straight
hush of diamonds, which he is convinced
nothing can beat. The Florida Central
ana Peninsular, in connection with the
southern railway, advertises the shortest
me from all points north and east to all
FLORIDA resorts.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Wall street Review. q.

New York, Jan. 3.-The railway and
miscellaneous share speculation was quiet
again today, the sales of stocks roofing
up only 1ail73 shares, while the transac-
tions in bonds amounted to little more
than $l.OO00O0. Tobacco, which was the
most active in the stock list, figured FOR
800 shares. and st. Paul. which was sec
ond, for 1890 shares. The market was
unsettled and irregular throughout the
session. At the opening a number OF
stocks including Metropolitan Traction.
Sugar, the Changers. General Electric and
Lake Shore were quite heavy and lostisa
q. per cent. Later on Tobacco jumped
3 per cent. to 81 on covering of short con-
tracts and buying for election purposes,
and this strengthened the whole market,
and Tobacco was in brisk demand In the
loan crowd and In some cases lie per
cent. per diem was paid for the use OF
the stock. The transfer books for the
annual election will close on Wednesday.
In the afternoon the tendency of prices
was downward, the market maving been
adversely Influenced by the engagement
Of $i.55OOOO gold for shipment to Europe
on Wednesday and the belief that the
shipments on the day named may reach
s. 500, 900. Western Union was particular
ly weak in the afternoon trading and sold
down to S2is. There was no special press
ure to sell. however, and the disposition Is
general to go slow until the new govern
ment bond loan is out Of the way. wash
ington Is also being closely watched for
financial and political legislation. The
changes show gains Of Has per cent. In
the railway list and asalA per cent. In
the Industrials. Western Union lost u per
cent.

SKELETONS IN A NINE.
The bones of Three Men Said to Have
Decn Eound Near Wilkes. barre.

Wilkes 4barre, Jan. 20.-A rumor was
started today to the effect that three
skeletons had been discovered in the
formerly operated by the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Ba Coal company, though
idle for the past ten years.
Superintendent Morgan was seen this
afternoon and said that he had heard
of the rumor, but was unable to con-
firm 1t. He will tomorrow send party
of miners into the old workings and an
earnest search will be made, and II
the skeletons are found they will be
brought to the surface.
The rumOr started from q statement
made by Peter Wassil, who Is now in
prison for shooting Krupsgave at
Georgetown last week, in which he
claims that he had killed man some
months before and hurled his dead
body down the deep shaft of the Dia-
mond mine. If the skeletons should
be found they are probably those of
foreigners who We're murdered for their
savings and their bodies hidden in the
dark recesses of the mine. The sensa-
tional story of the finding of the skele-
tons has caused no little excitement
in the neighborhood of the mine. For a
long time past men have been missing
after having accumulated sums of
money and it is now thought that an
organized band of thugs are at the
bottom of these mysterious disappear
ances and conceal their bloody work
in the inner workings of abandoned
mines.

SCHLATTER'S NEW RIVAL.
Wilbur Hammond. tho Belvidere FarmeI
Bov Trance Doctor.

Belvidere. ILL.,. Jan. 20.-Wilbur Ham,
mOnd. the Individual who is causing SO
much excitement at Sycamore. Rock
ford and other towns within easy reach
Of this city. is q well known young
man living on q farm near here. So
far as known he never evinced any
particular inclination for books or
study. much less for medical lore. and
yet some Of his reported cures can only
be explained in either one or two ways.
He must have some peculiar aptitude
for prescribing for the sick. or under
a mask Of so-called spiritualism, or OF
faith cure, he Is able to exercise some
beneficial hypnotic influence upon the
sick. Certain it is that he works for
good, so far as his patient Is concerned,
and instances of people who maintain
either a cure or beneficial treatment
at his hands are rapidly accommodating.
He makes no charge for such service
as he is able to give. and is gracious
enough to devote all the time he can to
the good work. 1t is his custom to de-
liver short discourses upon spiritual
ism, in which he proclaims profound
belief. and to speak tenderly and as
suringly to his patient. after which he
lapses into an alleged trance state.
His manner then becomes entirely
changed, and he rattles off a volume
Of German gutturals and prescribes for
the patient He emphatically denies
that he Is an imitator of Schlatter,
and claims to have been in the business
long before the Denver worker was
heard Of
People here are divided in their opin-
ions of young Hammond. A few whom
he has treated have firm belief in his
powers, and a number Of others are
willing to believe that he exercises
hypnotic or supernatural influence over
his patients. and Is thus enabled to
doctor them. But the unbelievers have
no faith in him, and are waiting to see
him develop into the old-time spirit
ualistic cabinet worker. or perhaps into
professor ready to manufacture
mediums at 800 or more per medium.
Hamomnd Is rather modest and un-
assuming, and seems wholly disinclined
to take any notice Of his critics. or to
attract too great attention to himself
or his methods He sometimes talks
Of abandoning the work he has been
doing for the past six months. He IL %
years old, Of rather slight build, dark
mustac and full dark eyes. with n
peculiar dreamy expression in them.
There is considerable interest here In
