tween Different Firms-Had Forged
Indorsements-His Case the Subject
of Much Correspondence.

New York, May S.--Tired Of being
fugitive, a wanderer over the earth,
Thomas IL. Stout, forger, after six
years Of exile, has surrendered himself

mated at 500 900, and the theft was the
cause of civil suits between the trust
company and the firm in which the

the trust company had cashed.
His case has been before the state de-
partment at Washington. Hundreds Of
letters have passed between authorities
in this country and others all over the
world, where Stout had located at vari-
Gus times during the past six years.
Stout reached New York from Boston
over the Fall River line. He had come
from England via ST. Johns. and by
rail from there to Boston. He was met
at the station by his own lawyer and
his son, the Rev. James A. Stout, who
has pastorate in a city on the Hud-
son.

NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-The stock market
made remarkable show of strength through
the short session today, practically the whole
list tending steadily upward with scarcely
halt. There was profit taking at intervals
during the morning, but the sales to realize
were absorbed at gulp with scarcely any
impression and the buying resumed and kept
up steadily until the close. Sharp advances
in the prices of American securities in Lon
don gave the impetus to prices at the open
ing. Arbitrage brokers also bought some of
the internationais. This buying was not of
large proportions, but at least one banking
house, not regularly engaged in arbitrage
dealings, is said to have been buyer for
account of foreign investors. The see-saw
effect of the decline in wheat was again strik-
ingly manifest today and the crop damage
scare of last week was displaced by renewed
confidence in the yield of wheat and the sefety
or corn: The grangers were largely dealt
in on the strength Of this factor, but they
moved over somewhat restricted range on
account of realizing sales, which affected no
very marked reactions.
Omaha was the center of interest in the
whole ole, market. rising by leaps and bounds
net gain of 3 points. The buying was in
execution of large orders. Buying of the
same character continued in Chesapeake &
Ohio and carried it up nearly point. The
o-called Gould roads, in the Southwest
showed advances in the prices of their shares
on account of the good showing in earnings
gained point and Missouri Pacific and Kan
sas Texas pfd "a each. Illinois steel
jumped points and other iron and steel
stocks were firmly held on the favorable out
look in that industry. The industrials other
wise were somewhat neglected. The coalers
also were not conspicuous and lacked
strength. Local gas stocks were in good
demand and higher the prospects of con-
soldation of interests. The buying move
ment was in full progress at the closing and
prices were at or very near the best of the
day.

NO! SO SAYS SCHLATTER.
The Healer and Mrs. Ferris Did Not

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Francis Schlat-

who has been the wonder of Denver,

and of Canton, besides some other
places where he has given demonstra-
lions, has come to Chicago He has
established himself here for the pur-
pose of healing the ailing, the deaf the

months, and will hold daily receptions.
to which all will be free to come AS
to the identity Of the man, none but
those who have seen both Schlatters
may speak. There was report of the
death in q desert cave of the original
man of the name. This man says that
he is the original Schlatter, and that
he left Denver in disguise to obtain
rest. He relates q long story of wan
dering about the country, and is able
tic tell CT the achievements of the orig-
inal in Denver. The thing lacking is
his beard, and this, he says, he shaved
off to prevent being recognized He
closely resembles the pictures of the
original, but he has no photographs
taken during MS Denver career with
him. From 1885 to the spring of this
year. he says, he passed amon@ men
unknown, and, save by a few, unrecog-
nized.
Schlattcr was asked about Mrs. Fer
ris, widow Of the inventor of the great
worlds fair wheel, with whom it had
been reported that he had eloped from
Canton. He said: There is nothing
in the stories connecting me with Mrs
Ferris. I have not eloped with nor
married her. I am not to marry her.
She came to me for treatment, as she
suffered from anaemia, and I cured
her. L took a liking to her, and we
were seen together a great deal. We
met in the Victoria hotel in Pittsburg
and the newspapers made it out a very
mysterious affair, but it was an acct
