HEALER" SCHRADER IN TOWN
Brings His Wife and Brother with
Him-The Anderson Tests.

Healer Schrader arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon, and is now on North
New Jersey street He moved in there yes
terday with his wife and his brother The
latter is his manager and the former is his
counselor. He married her but recently in
New Castle. She is a young woman, who
came from Sioux City to marry him. The
manager of the combination was seen last
night, but he would not consent 10 allow
his brother. who had retired to be dis
turbed. Asked what their plans We're for
the week, the manager said: 1--WE intend
to heal the afflicted and cure the SICK
What diseases can you cure?' he was
asked.
MY brother can cure anything, provided
the patient has faith in him..
In response to other questions, the man.
ager of the combination said: MY brother
gets his power from God. He first discov-
cred that he possessed the power when he
was thirteen years old. He is now thirty
one years old, and has been engaged in di-
vine healing ever sHlce he first discovered
his power He may not be any better than
other men. He can, as l said, cure any
thing if the patient has faith in my broth
ers power. If a. man is blind, and still has
the eye and the optic nerve and shall also
have faith, he can and will be cured. Let
and made happy
The man was asked about certain news
paper reports of tests which We're offered
the divine healer at Kokomo and which in
effect declared that the divine healer was
a fake. One dispatch told of number Of
patients on whom Schrader had failed, and
of his statement that he could drink poison
and not be affected. A minister took bot
tie out of his pocket and offered it to
Schrader, and the latter refused to drink.
The bottle contained EPSON salts, but the
"divine healer was afraid to meet the
test. This story was telegraphed to the In
dianapols papers only few days ago.
THAT is all a mistake" said Schrader'S
brother. THAT is pure newspaper fake,
and it is without foundation. There are al
ways persons who are disappointed in my
brother, because they expect too much. My
brother cannot create new organs in peo-
pie. He cannot give a man new leg or
new ear drum, but he can cure ailments by
the laying on of hands. There never was
any test, such as the papers spoke of as
the poison test. My brother would not
enter into any such controversy. 1t is be-
Eeath his dignity"
What income have you?"
1--WE get no money except voluntary con-
tributions from those who are benefited"

long ago great iron master said that
when iron would not bring SIS a ton he
would pile ii up like gold. To-day he would
have TO take So or keep on piling.
Now this saving of cost of production we
carry into the next period of prosperity
with all that that implies. With the next
run of good prices, lower though they Will
be than for former years. we shall have
similar margin of profit and wealth viii re-

We have also been saving money. We
have been accommodating capital, capital
which is free from incumbrance. which Is

Whether the time has come for another
period like that between the years 1879 and
1892 we cannot liz utterly sure for While
we can discover the looming Of the great

non of a perfect ruby causes the value of
these gems to increase in a far greater
proportion than in the case of diamonds
Rubies weighing more than four carats are
so exceptional that when perfect one of
five carats is brought to the market it Will
command ten times as high a sum as a
diamond of the same weight, while rubies
of six carats, without crack or flaw, and
of the proper color would in all probabili-
ty bring as high a price as $4,000 a carat,
or fifteen times as much as a diamond of
like size and faultlessness.

with the greatest possible favor. and so 1t

value than any which have up to now been
seen either in Europe or this country"

One of the metropolitan journals-much
esteemed and ever ready to do the right
thing-in it's issue of yesterday contained
on one page no less than four denials as
follows: A denial from Lieutenant Com
mander Sobral, of the Spanish legation,
that he had been playing spy upon our forts
in Charleston harbor; a denial from the
John Hopkins Hospital of the story of death
from toxine tests on patients; a denial from
Nice that Mascagni, the composer, had at
tempted suicide, and denial from Mary
Anderson that she was about to appear
upon concert stage. Cynics may say that
it would be better for the progressive jour-
much than to know so many things that
are not true; but the denial feature of the
metropolitan newspaper press is not to be
put down by derision, and its is rapidly
coming to pass that every well-regulated
