The HEALER-A dispatch from
Bridgeport Conn.,, says Schrader, "the
Divine healer" has been doing thirty
ing business since he reached this
city yesterday afternoon. More than
500 people, suffering from ailments OF
every description, called upon him
that morning. He prayed over them,
blessed their handkerchiefs, and told
them they would get well. They ell
said they felt better even while he
spoke, and feel certain of permanent
cure. Nothing has been seen to guar
antee this. The healer charges nothing
for his work, but contribution box is
handy where those who feel disposed to
help him may do so. The street in front
of his room was thronged all day, many
of the sufferers being brought to him in
carriages. He has made good i'm
preston already.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, January 2l.-
Schrader, the "divine healer" has
again disappeared. Another large
crowd hocked to his room this morning
TO see the healer, but he had gone. No
remarkable cures are reported here.
Whether his financial returns were uD
satisfactory, or he believed the Lord
had called him away, is not definitely
known.

A PIPE OF PRESIDENT JEFFERSON
DAvIs.-Mr. w. p. Johnson, engineer
of the p, F. & p. r R., of this city, has
in his possession pipe which belonged
to the late Jefferson Davis, President of
the Southern Confederacy. At the
evacuation of Richmond, Mr.. Anderson,
who was one of his clerks, was the last
to leave the office of the late president.
Among the things left there was MIR.
Davis's pipe which he smoked regu-
larly. Anderson put it in his
pocket and carried it with him,
intending to give it back to Mr..
Davis. They were separated aud he
had no chance to do so. A few years
ago Anderson died and his wife is now
living at Orange c. H. Some week or
more she presented this pipe to friend
as testimonial of her appreciation for
kindness done her. 1t is very valu-
able relic.-Fredericksburg Lance.

ACCORDING TO Southern gushers, the
Northern republicans are DESTROYS that
the war shall be over" now that
thirty.two years have elapsed since il
closed. But to show that they done
know what they are talking about, is
made plain by the fact that at meet
ing of G. A. r. post in Washington
last night, Congressman Hicks OF Penn
sylvania said 81 tell you we cannot
encourage the idea of celebrating the

Lee. 1 tell you, comrades, we have

A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR
BATHROOM.

A dispatch from Trenton, N. j., says
If Mrs. Thomas Watson becomes rec.
onciled to her father, Claus Spreckels
she will have the most luxurious bath.
room ever constructed in America. The
thing and decorations for this room,
which we're made here, were viewed yes
terday by delegation of architects,
decorators and sanitary plumbers from
New York aud other places.
The bathroom will cost $4,000 and
will be part of suite of rooms which
Emma Spreckles, daughter of the
sugar king, designed for her own
use after inspecting famous houses in
all parts of Europe, where she travelled
for the sole purpose of getting ideas for
the Sc 900, 600 home her father is erect
ing in San Francisco. Her apartments
were designed TO cost more than a
quarter of million dollars.
The entire room will be only q! feet
wide by 81 feet long. The floor is to
be covered with encaustic tiles of small
dimensions, in neutral tints. The
sides and ceiling are to be of tiles
four by five inches. Each side of the
wall will be panelled. The dadoes will be in
solid colors, but each main panel will repre-
sent bathing scenes from the classics One
panel will show brook, in which two women
are wading, one leading child, while Cupid
will sport on the frieze. The ceiling is of
delicately tinted tile.
Metal swinging doors will lead from the
room. The bath tub is of porcelain, the
faucets are of solid gold, and so is the piping
for the shower and the needle streams.
Since the heiress drew her plans she has
been married. Although only 81 years old,
she was married to Thomas Watson, who is
ffty.nine years old. It was secret wedding
the day before Christmas, in San Jose. Bride
and bridegroom are now living at the Cali
fornia Hotel, in San Francisco.

of the democrats of his own district and

assaulted the mentally weak and un'

SHooTING SHEEP FOR RABIES.

SHOOTING SHEEP FOR RABIES
Farmers in the lower portion of Prince
Georges county, Nd, are anxiously
watching their sheep for signs OF rabies.
Two prominent farmers have recently
been obliged to destroy a number of
fine sheep which had undoubtedly gone
mad. One day last fall VIM. Berry
discovered large dog in his flock. He
shot the animal and examined his
sheep, finding blood on the head of q
ram. Some time later the ram exhib
tied symptoms of madness, trying fire.
ouently to butt its brains out. It was
finally destroyed. Last week another
sheep owned by Berry was attacked in
the same manner and had to be sho;.
Lee Bell, farmer, living near Berry,
had to shoot six or seven of his sheep
after they showed signs of madness.
There is no doubt that all the animals
killed had been bitten by the dog.
Other farmers fear that the dog may
have been among their focks.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 81.

General Ruger, US. A., says some
provision should be made for small arm
practice at Fort Myer, Virginia, and
Washington Barracks, D. G. The use
of the ground at Marshall Hall, Mary
land, has not been sanctioned by the
War Department.; the reservation at
Fort Washington, Maryland, has been
examined, but does not afford a snlta-
BILE rifle range; the cost of constructing
butts at Washington Barracks for short
range practice would be very great and
would not insure entire safety.
G. B. Lynn was appointed postmas
ter at Cedargrove, Frederick county,

Several more prominent Virginia re-
publicans are at the Capitol to-day,

on which will be taken late this even

the federal patronage in Virginia
and fix up their slate therefor. They
are bothered no little about the U. 5.
district attorneyship of their State, the
office to which Mr.. White of Norfolk
has recently been appointed, and who,
they fear, may hold it under the civil
service rules for four years.
Several U. S. Senators, and not all OF

ion, though they wouldn't like being
quoted to that effect. The opinion re-
