DR.. Mclean, whatever may be his
powers. is certainly remarkable cha-
racter. His personality is striking. he
is tall, straight, and with long beard
and long flowing hair hanging down
his shoulders. His voice is modulateo'
soft and pleading in tone, and there IS
a certain directness and sincerity that
at once attracts attention. There is no
trickery or sham about his work ana
he strives for no theatrical effect. lie

Sets consisting Of household furniture,
valued at $3.50.
claims to the amount of $194, 837 are
secured by collateral, mostly in the
shape Of bonds of the Somerset &,
Johnsonburg Manufacturing Company
with face value of $43,7IO, but of
doubtful real value. The largest credi-
tors Of this class are principally Boston
New Bedford and Fail River banks
The Citizens National Bank of New
Bedford holds the largest claim, it be-
ing for S305I5, with collateral valued

wouldn't take it; he is too sensible,
and neither would Miles be willing to
become a candidate. AS regards Vice
President Hobart. he is going to die
soon"
Asked as to the predictions for next
year, Schlatter gave an oTninous warn
ing Of the universal war, declaring thus
wise:
Russia and England will have a
great war, and in addition Great Brit
ain, United States, Italy and Japan
will be united against the world IN a
bloody conflict in which the quartet of
nations will come out victorious
France will join Germany, its tradi-
tional enemy, and Turkey will be dl-
vided, parcelled out among the powers
England will lose one-half of her col
onies, the United States win double her
territory, taking, in addition to the
present lands, Canada, Mexico and the
Central American states and British
India In the final summing up, Russia
and United States will come out best,
This is truly a woeful picture and
hardly credible to the most pessimi3-
tic of people. Yet the divine healer
makes the prophecy with the assur-
ance of knowledge.
DR.. Mclean declares his whole doe
trine to be faith in the Lord and he
insists that it is not he who cures, but
the Lord through him.
"All things that Christ did was in
accordance with divine law and nat
ural law. Therefore l claim that I do
what Christ did through the same
power"
The healer declares that he wants
to be buried here in Worcester, and if
the authorities will permit he intends
to be placed beneath the sod for forty
days as deep as they wish.
Why do you wish to do this?" was
asked.
II wish to convince the sceptical
world that there is a literal resurrec-
ton. The object is for the glory of
God and the good of humanity. There
is no such thing as death in the literal
sense. The body is the real soul. The
flesh is but the clothing, as it's the coat
and vest. The body is less gross than
ether after resurrection. l can lay
buried, dead as it is called, for six
months easily and be resurrected aye,
and come to earth as living again.
While buried will 80 to heaven and

HEROIC WOODEN INDIAN.
stopped Runaway Horse and Saved
Lives of Passengers.
From the New York World.

FROM the new 1OTk WO
Some one once said that the only good
Indian was a dead Indian. The saying
was accepted as an epigrammatic truth
at the time, and is stin so accepted by
many.
Now This wise saw should be amended
to read. 1.-The only good Indian is a
dead Indian, with the exception of the
wooden Indian in front of the cigar
store on Twenty-fourth street, east of
Eighth avenue, who is very good In
dian, indeed"
For years he has stood there holding
his bunch of cigars and nobody to look
at him would ever suppose that there
was in him the stuff of which heroes are
made. But there comes a time in the
life of even a wooden Indian when OPP
portunity offers one great chance to win
fame The Indian had his chance last
night. 1t happened this way:
John Sheridan of No. $50 West Twenty
fifth street had been standing in Fifth aV-
enue with his hanson cab when he re-
ceived two fares, a man and a woman.
In driving them to their destination ne
went through Twenty-fourth street. Just
after crossing Seventh avenue his horse
took fright and bolted west. The man
and woman within tried frantically to open
the doors and jump, but fortunately for
them Sheridan kept the doors closed.
About 100 feet east of Eighth avenue
the horse took to the sidewalk AS he did
so the cab almost capsized and Sheridan
left his seat as if fired from a catapuIt
He landed on his feet, however and es-
capped with slight bruises.
The horse in some way loosened the
bride check-rein so it formed a loop. As
the frightened animal ran straight for the
window of the cigar shop ii grazed the In
dian and the latter's outstretched arm
caught the flying loop of the bride check
No horse was ever stopped so quickly or
as effectively.
The Indian was chained securely to the
iron grating in the walk. The horse was
drawn up so quickly and withal so well
that it reared and fell on it's Launches and
was quickly seized by some citizens.
The rein was taken from the Indian wh0
resumed his place as modestly as If moth
ing unusual had happened. He was mona
the worse save for a few slight scratches
and the loss of a small portion of his
Christmas coat of paint
AS soon as the man and woman in the
cab were released they boarded an Eighth
avenue car and went uptown. They declin-
ed to give their names. Both were young
and well dressed.
