good. Stories of men reclaimed from

VIC have been converted are acknowl-
edged to lead upright lives. OF the
total enrolment in the country. all
are recent converts except Eastman
and Miss Chase, who came from the
southern part Of the state. The hold
which the Holy Roller faith has taken
OF. the people Of Ontario county is
scarcely conceivable. They came from
Tar and near to the services, and All
fairly worship Eastman. One en-
thusiast brought his COWS and pas-
tured them in a field near the tent.
This was so he would have no neces-
sity of withdrawing until that series
OF services was at an end. Many Of
the people sleep in their wagons OF
on blankets on the ground, impatient

Strange stories OF the doings of these
zea!ots circulate about the region. A
meeting Of especial fervor was held
the night before the writer arrived.

bent over the PROSTATE figure. So
she was left in Inconsistencies, with
eyes staring %yacantly n limbs rigid
as in death.
Some time after midnight the wo-
man recovered. She did not appear t.

height. He gazed for a moment to-
ward the sky. He shouted and called
on God to save him. Then his arm
grew rigid. A s~acrilegious spectator
tried to pull it down. 1t might have
been broken, but the muscles would
net yield. This seemed nothing more
than a case of mesmerism, although
those who saw it attributed it to di-
vine power.
On this same night there was a
baptism in Canandaigua Lake. The

camp. Save for occasional %brooding,
he led a life such as most boys lead out
IN the open air. free and careless. Then
there came into the neighborhood two
persons who were destined to exert
upon him an influence stronger han
These persons were N. l.. A. Eastman
and Emma Chase, leaders of a religious
sect known as the Holy Rollers.
They spoke to Bradley of their be-
lief and urged him to be saved. In a
few days a camp-meeting was organ
lzed and the exercises begun system
atically. Bradley attended. The IN
t1uence of the meetings was great upon
hlm. He learned to abhor the acts of
his past life and to live in a frightful
fear of damnation and the fortunes of
a burning hell. Some two weeks ago
he Joined tb>s Holy Rollers, convinced
that God had called him to preach to
his fellow-men.
Then Eastman and the woman NOV
ed their camp to Bristol Springs, two
miles from Seneca Point on Canaan

up his abode, living for a few days with
Eastman at Mill Village. a mile or so
away. 1t cost him nothing for board.
He had a few dollars with him when
he left South Evansville, but money
was nothing to him in his spiritual ex-
ultation, and he gladly put it in the
Holy Roller collections.
Then he preached. 1t seemed as if
the boy were outside n above him
self when he harangued the awestruck
audiences which crowded the tent. The
people heard him in wonder. They lis
tened to his denunciation of the wick
edness and selfishness of the life they
were leading, and trembled of his pic
ture of the hell to which they drifted.
Many who had entered the tent doubt
ing on the night the boy preached were
converted by his words. Yet all agreed
that it was not so much what he said
as a mysterious something which was
in his and his gestures and
the tones of his voice. All the Holy
Rollers believed that the boy was d.
vinely called and inspired. Prayers
of thankfulness were continually Of
fered that he had been reclaimed from
the evil of the world to be the shining
light and exponent of the Holy Rollers
faith.

to the Press.
They Will Sail From San Fran
cisco on Australia Of
November I'd.

NEW YORK, N. ", Oct. 16.-Hawai-
ian Princess Kaiulani, niece of ex-
Queen Liliuokalani, arrived on the
American line steamship Paris today.
She figured on the passenger list under
her English name of Cleghorn and was
accompanied by her father, A. S. Cleg-
horn. The Princess is tall, willowy
and very fair, with big, wistfuI eyes,
She wears simple gown of black with
collar and revers in broad stripes in
black and white and inside cuffs to
match. The Hawaiians will be at the
Hotel Albemarle until next Thursday,
when they go direct to San Francisco
and thence to Honolulu by the steam
ship Australia.
Mr.. Cleghorn said: eve are not
meddling with Hawaiian politics. We
are not in politics. We are not going
to Washington as reported to protest
against the annexation of Hawaii, but
if the question were put to a vote of
the islands, not one in ten would be
found to favor it. What they want is
not annexation, but the moral support
of an American protectorate."
He also said that the Princess was
not going to Hawaii to claim a throne.
He said they would leave San Francis
co on November on the Australia for
Hawaii
