WHAT OTHERS THINK.

The talk of the town now is that
leading men of Ardmore intend
petitioning the powers that be to
withdraw incorporation from our
midst.
From the above it appears that
the town corporation of Ardmore is
not very popular. This is no sur
prise where there are so many who
favor raising up their children in
gross ignorance. The public
school question in that town carried
by only small majority, and those
persons who are seeking to do
away with the corporation are pre-
sumably the same parties who vvt-
ed against having free schools

The Era of Faith Healing.

A very remarkable parsonage has
suddenly appeared in Brooklyn who
calls himself the revived Schlatter. the
healer who some months ago made such
a sensation in Denver and who was re-
ported to have died somewhere in the
western desert. The new faith healer
calls himself DIR. Mclean and began
his operations in Brooklyn recently.
with the usual results in such cases.
This man openly claims to use the
same curative power that Christ dis
played. and has gone so far as to make
a proposal to restore the dead to life.
The tolerance with which he has been
received so far speaks well for the
moderation of the public. The case is
beset with all the old phenomena of
credulity. apparent cures. public curl
osity and medical derision.

The wearing of gowns by the judges
has started an official craze for insignia
of Office. The New York aldermen the
other day adopted a resolution provid-
ing each member with badge not to
cost more than $50. Why they did not
come out in full uniform is a puzzle.
But just after the bill had passed. some
kind of panic struck them. Probably
they had seen one of their members
wearing the badge At all events the
bill was rescinded. and the aldermen
now go about with their coat collars
turned up.
