"HEALER" SCHRADER'S 5 EXIT
Hastily Takes His Departure to
Parts Unknown.
Manager Berriman Follows a Dav
Later With Handbags and
Placards.

schrader. the divine healer has left
Washington. Maybe he has gone up into
the mountains to fast and pray, more
likely ne has gone to some locality where
his alleged supernatural attainments Will
be more appreciated.
The healer arrived in Washington abont
week ago. He, or his mana ger, Mr.. Berrt-
man, engaged rooms atJhe Anderson, corner
of Four and-a-ha and c streets northwest-
Two large placards were hung outside the
door announcing that the divine healer
could be found within Anotherhtt white
cardboard on the door bore the invitation,
Walk in
But the people did not walk, at least they
did hot cross the threshold as the spiritual
physician and his material manager ex-
pected them TO do, il is said Throngs
passed back and forth before the d0Or and
the little green steps leading up to il, but
comparatively few assembled the latter.
Upon his arrival Schrader announced
through his manager tina. ne would remain
ill the city at least three weeks, and that
he wouldprobably make his permanent home
here, barring, of course, the intervals that
would be required for excursions into the
mountains for fasting and prayer.
There has always been an impression
since the divine healer sprang into
nOtOriety that he had an aversion TO money
and that il was his habit 70 throw the
seductive stuff to the four winds when
any generous person made him a gift.
Upon his last visit. however, he was
credited with the announcement that in
view OF the high pressure OF the existing
times he could be prevailed upon 70 accept
small remuneration for hhmself-to cover
the expenses Of the time before and after
the forty days fast. AT this period his
expenses were supposed, OF course, TO be
reduced To a minimum.
While the announcement that money was
acceptable was made. Schrader added that
none who felt the need OF his treatment
need remain away because they were with
out the price. But in one manner or an
other, said the coIored janitor of the
quarters, the people failed to respond te
the inviting placards, and Schrader had
long periods during the day that be might
call all his own.
He suddenly disappeared last Monday.
Mr.. BerriIuan told the janitor that he
had gone 10 Cumberland, Md, and would
be back the following day. But he did
not return. and Tuesday evening the man
ager packed the two handbags and one
hat box that served as baggage for the
pair and took his departure Since then
nothing has been heard OF Schrader.

going on. The cargo was shipped by H.
z. Fritot of this city and was consigned
to s. Cisneros, president OF the Cuban

and the vessel was allowed to depart, as

that she has been ordered to stop the

cargo of arms. If the men are found on
either steamer the vessel will be seized
