Atlanta Ga, May 2O.-Miller. the so
called Divine Healer" ran a foul of
Jumbo Hunter, Atlanta's famous Ii
cense inspector this morning, and may
have to pay CITY license or leave town.
In the midst of one of his alleged cures"
Miller was interrupted by Hunter, who
demanded to know If he had a business
license. Miller replied that he had not
and needed none, A sharp passage of
words followed, after which Hunter re-
tired rather discounted, but not defeated
by any means.
Miller was surrounded by several hun
dred admirers when Jumbo Hunter
poked his head over the shoulder of a fat
woman whose eyesight- Miller was trying
to improve. asking of the healer What

surlily replied Miller. i cure the people,

asked Hunter.
II take what the people give me; I

give me $4,000 1 take it, have to live. If
they give me nothing l get nothing. Why
do you bother me, when l am healing the

Poking his head away over the ladys

II need no license" was the reply. 81

of questions when l am trying to heal

Miller continued to rub the eyes of the
lady, pressing the lids down gently and
murmuring to himself again.
BY this time the crowd about Miller was
exceedingly wrathy against Hunter and
not few threats to throw him out were
heard, while the air was quickly filled
with offensive remarks directed to the Of
ticer, who paid no attention to them.
Hunter says Miller is an imposter and
faker and he proposes to run him out
of town.
Miller has created a big sensation i'm the
city, and the poorer classes look upon him
with almost worshipful admiration Many
claim to have been cured by him.

SHUT OUT or THE MAILS.
WelI-Known Georgia Drummer Has
Trouble with the Postal AuthOri-


Washington %. c.) Correspondence At
lanta Constitution.
All mail addressed 20 Warren p. Lovett,
Sandersville, Ga, is returned to the send
er by the postmaster at Sandersvllle,
Across The face of each letter or parcel
is stamped the word "Fraudulent."
Lovett Is one OF the best known men IN
his section of the state. He is an old
travelling man, one who has been connect
ed with several prominent houses, and Ia
especially well known as a teller OF good
stories. But just now he is I'm trouble
with the postal authorities, and the au>
thorities say II is serious trouble.
The refusal to accord Lovett the privi-
leges of the mails is based upon an order
issued from the office of the assistant at
torney general for the postoffice depart
ment. The order was what Is known as
fraud order. and was issued on April D.
For more than a year before that time
postofiice Inspectors have been investi-
eating Lovett's methods of doing busi-
ness. There had been an earlier report
and then one on March 80. 1t was on
this that the fraud order was issued. The
inspectors had come to the department al
leging that he had been using the mails
for the purpose of defraudine merchants
and business men in different parts of the
country. According 10 TIE inspectors re-
ports, Lovett ordered goods from many
merchants. When the articles came they
were converted into cash at the earliest
possible minute and the creditors were
left to whistle for their money.
The papers on file show that Lovett was
in the habit of studying the advertise
ments in the magazines. When he saw
an article advertised which he thought he
could sell, he would write:
ct noticp In Volf advert faaraaOf on nara
blank of blank magazine. II you will send
me three dozen l Will remit by first mail P"
He had exceedingly handsome and busi-
ness-like stationery, writes an excellent
hand, and in many instances his orders
met with prompt response. The failure to
make good his promise of early payment
and his failure to respond to continued
demands from his creditors led TO the
complaints. There Is a great batch or
them at the postoffioe department.

How Vast Numbers of Explosions
are Represented by Single Words.
From the Pan Mail Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Though Athens is in the travail of war,
her citizens have still gayety enough left
to play practical joke, especially a joke
at the expense of the German. Herr Paul
Lindau, the director of the Hof theater
at Meiningen, is taking a pleasure tour
through the east, and he lately alighted
at the Hotel de la Grande Bretagne at
Athens. Like other guests, he went 70
table dhote, and there he enjoyed some
curious experiences. People seemed to
shrink from him, the walters eyed him
earnestly, and then rushed off TO the tele-
phone, ana no man nor woman either
come to SIT on his right or his left. OF
all the soltudes in which man lives or
dies none Is more terrible than that Of
the outcast of the table d'hote, fenced in
by empty chairs and frozen by alien eyes
Herr Paul Lindau found the situation TOO
hot, or too cold He got up, and seeing
an acquaintance afar off who belonged to
the journal, the Kolnische Zeitung, he
bore down upon him and holsted signals
of distress. The correspondent of the Kol-
nische was already familiar with the cause
of this strange boycott and explained the
matter thus: He told me-" says Herr
Lindau,, that in several of the evening
papers the following notice was to he

communication with Turkish officers and
oficlals at Patras. At present he Is be-

was met at the station by a dark man in

pearance. They both took cab No. Is. and
drove TO the Hotel de Ia Grande Bretagne
where the German spy registered himself
under the pseudonym Of Paul Lindau.' q"
