"a horse can prOpel a four wheeled We

MILK AS A NUTRITIVE.

A doctor expresses the belief that
a person could live for any length Of
time and take heavy exercise all the
while on no other food that sweet milk.
His conviction is the result of personal
experiment.
He wanted to establish the fact that
persons convaIescing from sickness
may grow stronger with no other nu-
triment than sweet milk, and that they
are not obliged to take something sol
Id" to eat, as so many people imagine.
He holds that many a convalescent has
gone into his grave as a result of over
taxing his weak stomach by putting
solid" food into it, and he maintains
that the old belief as to bread being
the first essential of human life is
shown by his experiments to be erro-
neous.
His test was to live 80 days with only
sweet milk as a nourishment. In the
whole time he lost five and half
pounds in weight, but no strength He
even attributes the loss of weight 10
the warmth of the weather and to ex-
cessive exercise on the bicycle, and the
daily manipulation of 16-pound dumb
bells and other heavy weights. He
took more exercise than usual in order
to test the thing fairly. On the seventh
day of the experiment he ran several
fast races with a skiIfuI manner, but
was beaten in each race.
On the thirteenth day he again pitted
himself against the same runner and
got the best of his opponent, which
certainly would tend to confirm during
the 80 days test. He drank four pints
of milk daily for the last week. He
thinks a healthy persons should take
about five pints of milk daily when no
other food is being taken. His prac-
tice was to drink milk at intervals for
two hours during the day, commencing
at Z o'clock in the morning and con-
tinuing until 10 at night. After that
he would take no more until the next
morning.

M'klNLEY's CALLERS.

Country tall at Canton.

CANTON. o., Nov. 80. Almost every
train seemed to bring visitor to Maj.
Mckinley, and the president-elect's
library was not without q visiting
statesman at any time during the
day. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster ar
rived early, and had consultation
with Maj. Mckinley on female suf-
frage and other kindred subjects.
She was followed by John X. Thomas,
Of Illinois, and Representative Charles
N. Fowler, of New Jersey, both of
whom had short interviews with tho
president-elect. The extremes Of the
continent met in the majors library at
noon when Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts, shook hands there with
NJ. H. De Young, Of San Francisco.
Mr.. De Young is candidate for u
cabinet position should the Pacific
slope at last gain recognition, which
seems to be at least probable. He had
long conference with Mckinley, and,
In company with Senator Lodge,
lunched at the Mckinley home. DR..
T. n. Jamison, national committee
man from Illinois, was among the ar
rivals and met Maj, Mckinley in the
afternoon.

Psraphernslia Carried OF As
Tangible Trophies.

BosroN, Nov. 800. l.. Concannon,
a materializing medium who halls
from Kansas City, was the cause of
precipitating a small-sized riot al the
spiritual temple on Exeter street Sun
day morning. Concannon aud his
wife, who goes by the name OF Rev.
Ella d. Concannon, gave seance
there last Sunday, which the
spiritualists hailed as remarkable,
and this caused n crowd to
attend Sundays services. Henry
Aver, the wealthy believer in
splritualism and the owner OF the
beautiful $4,000 temple, was master
of ceremonies, and he was assisted in
the preliminaries by Mrs. Hattie Aver,
who sung, and Mrs. Concannon, who
gave tests.
Soon after Mr.. Coneannon had taken
lis place IN the cabinet, the lights were
turned down, and muslin figure
stalked forth. The crowd applauded
literally, but at that moment dozen
rugged young men jumped upon the
platform, tore down the curtains ON
the cabinet and revealed the medium.
There arose shout from the believers
to attack the raiders. A lively fight
was already in progress on the plat
form, and from the audience several
scores of men rushed forward TO the
assistance OF those who had disturbed
the performance. Wigs, whiskers,
white silk robes and other para
phernalia were found in the cab
met ahd carried off by the
raiders, whose progress toward the
lobby was fought inch by inch.
Meantime Concannon was hustled
through rear door. The crowd
howled as the row progressed and
sides were taken in the fight One
man was kicked in the back, and
others of tho raiding party which, it
was later ascertained numbered %,
suffered blackened eyes and bruises.
Fifteen policemen, in response TO a
call, cleared the temple. At the even
ing service so policemen were on duty
inside the temple to preserve order.
