among the ailing. who follow him and
patiently await their turn. In telling
his story Hammond said:

HEALS BY SPIRIT AID.
The Strange Claims Made by a
Young Illinois Farmer.
Says He Is Controlled" by a Dead Doctor
Goes About the Country on Foot
and Accepts No Pay, and Has
Many Followers.

Professional "healers" who claim
to effect miraculous cures of sick per-
sons are becoming as numerous as pres
idential candidates. The latest to as
sert that he is blessed with superhuman
powers is w. E. Hammond, a farmer
of Belvidere, Boone county, Ill. His
farm, however, is rapidly turning into
iburdock and Russian thistle fields, for
its owner, believing that he has been
called to alleviate the sufferings of hui
manity, neglects his land.
II have a family" he said to New
York World reporter, land how to pro-
vide for it is sore trial. 1 cannot
work the farm and do my healing at
the same time, SO have abandoned the
farm. I am praying for guidance"
Hammond's family consists of wife
and child. He is % years of age He
claims to heal by spiritualistic aid, but
differs materially from other claimants
of the sort in that he refuses pay for
bis services. He modestly disclaims
the title of doctor" which his friends
and patients insist upon giving him.
Hammond bears himself rather mod
estly, saying simply that he is the in
strument of one greater than himself.
His control" he says, is a German
physician, who is now in the spirit
world, but who refuses to give his full
name, because the shade says humans
would think more of that name than of
the mortal agent. This spirit answers
to the name of DIR. John. There are
other controls" too, Hammond says,
all nameless except Henry c. Wright, -
who acts as a guide" For a time the
latter dictated lectures on health and
morals. All of the spirits are, it ap-
pears, willing that the mediumistic
qualities of Mr.. Hammond shall be
monopolized by DR.. John. AS the lat
ter keeps him busy, the Illinois farmer
declares that this is fortunate.

Result of Their Business Improvement and

The total number of business failures
in the United States during the first
three months of 1896 was 4, 512, by CO.
incidence exactly 700 more than in the
like quarter last year, an increase of
almost one-ffth. The only preceding
quarter III which the total number Of
failures was as large as 1000 was in
1885, Immediately following the panic
Of 1884, when the total was 4, $50. In
no like quarter before or since has the
number of failures been as large as in
the past three months, although in the
first quarter Of 1894 there were nearly
1000 business failures reported-3, 900
compared with which the increase
during the past quarter is about one
ninth.
The most unfavorable feature of the
report concerning the quarters failures
is the relatively heavy increase of La
bilities compared with gain in number
of embarrassments. Thus, while the in
crease in the latter is IS per cent as
compared with the first quarter Of 1895
and about II per cent compared with
the first quarter Of 1894, total liabili-
ties, aggregating 500, 513, 900, are about
80 per cent larger than in the CORE.
