~ INC ohCAs
BALTIMORE, Oct, 27.-Judge Wright decided
to-day that faith cure doctors render no appar.
ent service to the sick, and for that reason arc
not entitled tn remuneration. The case was
that OF H.. Archer Doty and Pearl Battle Doty

monia; He was sent to n hospital, and with
the aid OF three doctors and three or four nurses.

was ms version of the case. His wife was
alarmed and having some belief in faith cure
band. "us
Mrs. Doty told on the stand to-day what they
had dohc Tor Winters. She said Winters had
got unhealthy notions in his head, and it was
necessary Tor them 10 remove these notions and
put healthy, ones in their places. Ihe DneII.
mona, was just in his mind and they slmpiy re-
moved ~, The work OF the doctors md the

might have done all that they said thcv hss5
done ~ the way of removing unhcaithy notinns

MILLS HOTEL NO. T..
a Place where single MEN May Get Hetter
Thar the Usual Service for Little money.

Tho new t~on.story brick hotel for working.
men erected by d. o. Mills at Blocker and
Thomson streets was opened formally ycstcr-
day afternoon. Its purpose is TO furnish homes
for respectable men with small incomes where
they may live with dccCncy, comfort, and self.
respect. II Is not II charity, for those who
live there will pay for what they get, but they
will gct far moro than they can obtain else.
whore in this city for the same money.
In the hotel. which is called Mills Hotel No. |,
there are LOGO bedrooms, furnished with iron
bcdstcads and excellent hair mattresses, feather
pillows, and bedding. These bedrooms will be
rented for 30 cents n night. There are sitting,
reading, and smoking rooms, baths, elevators to
all floors, steam heat, and electric lights, to all
of which convcnionces the occupants of the
rooms are entitled without extra charge. A res
taurant is also attached, at which meals may
be obtained for 10 cents ana upward.
Yesterdays opening exercises were largely
attended. Bishop Potter delivered u prayer,
which was followed BY n short address by Mr..
Mills, in which he outlined his purpose in the
erection Of this building and his plans for
other work along the same line. He said:
'"rhis is The first attempt on so large a scale
to make as good provision for single men az the
so.callod model dwellings have sought to fur
at the outset that II is in no sense n charitable
concern. Mills Hotel No. l will differ from

very fullest possible equivalent for his money.
But 1t is the intention from the very beginning
TO conduct the enterprise upon n business basis,
and this implies that it shall be sclf-supporting.
No patron OF the Mills Hotel will receive moro
than he pays for, unless it he my hearty good
will and good wishes. 1t is true that | have dc.
voted thought, labor, and, capital to II very

can. without scrup!c, permit me to offer him
this advantage, but he will think better OF him

and n better citizen, IL he knows that he is hon
cstly paying for what he gets.
Mills Hotel No. 90 Is now in process Of cree
ton m the corner of Eiivington and Chrystie
streets, just n block east of the Bowcrv. My
plans also contemplate the erection of forty
model apartments adjoining, this hotel, where,
| trust, small families may have the blessings
of ample light and air, baths and laundries,
privacy and perfect sanitation, AT n rental that
will not be out of reach Of those who most need

The House convened for its winter term to-day.

lett A. Hall Of Cowetn, law partner Of Gov.
Atkinson, c%ondemning those who had part in
the attempted assassination OF |. II. Loftin, the
negro Postmaster at Hogansville. and passing
sharp structures on the President for appointing
a Federal officer where $50 per cent. OF the pop.
ulation of a city was opposed to him." The reso-
luton further says:
"ReSoircd, That we doplorc this and similar
appointments as exhibitions of petty spite and
narrow sectional hate. unworthy the high Office
Of Chief Magistrate of this great nation"
The resolution ended with an appeal to the
public to enter tits powerful protest - against
such appointments. which it declares arc simply
made to huiniliatc "A community OF American
party affiliations"
The resolution was so amended as to cast no
reflection on the citizens Of liogansville. and

HONOLULU, Oct. 20, via San Francisco, Oct.
27.-From inside sources it Is learned that
Japanese Minister Hoshi will be removed from
his position when no reaches Toxic, and that q
new man will DO in Washington by Doc. 10.
Japan has been greatly humiliated by the out
come OF the immigration trouble, and the entire
blame is laid upon Minister Hoshi.
The story goes hero that Hoshi depended last
winter on John d. sprcckels, son of tho sugar
millionaire, for his information from tho isl.
ands. and Spreckels, who spent several months
In Washington. assured Hoshi that the Amori-
can Government would never annex tho ISL
ands. Hoshi was convinced that Spreckcls's
alleged facts were correct and sent them TO his
Government, making out so strong n case
against annexation that 1t was regarded as
safe to attempt to bulldozc Hawaii.
Tho prompt action Of tho Hawaiian Govern
ment in putting n check upon tho influence Of
the Japanese, and the determined attitude of
tho United States in backing up President Dole,
wcrc n great surprise TO the Japanese Minister.
The people Of Japan were wild over the certain
prospect that they would have to take water.
To appoase the popular clamor the Min
lster sent inc cruiser Nnnlwa nero. inc
United States met this bluff by sending
the cruiser Philadelphia, which reached Homo
lulu before the Naniwa.
The attitude Of Japan has, therefore, changed
materially within a few weeks. All the old ag-
gressive tone has been dropped. and the Minis
ter to Hawaii, who was formerly curt and
naughty, has become excessively polite. Ad-
vices from Toxic show that tho Japanese lead
ers are convinced that they made a grave mis-
take in attempting to override the small
republic. They discovered too late that back
OF her was the United States. their greatest
commercial ally and frmest friend among the
nations. The Japanese Ministry is now exert
ing every energy to get out of tuc difficult posi-
ton without loss of prestige. Meanwhile tho
Hawaiian Cabinet is engaged on its reply to
Japan's last note. Japan is vague on the Ques-
ton of damages.
