Schlatter the Divine Healer.

New York, March 9.-Morc than
400 persons, a sprinkling of them
cripples with clutches, one man in
an invalid's chair and about half
dozen who were carried in by
friends, were there TO test the heal
ing powers of the man who calls
himself Schlatter, the healer, and
whose name is Rev Charles Il. Nc.
Lean.
The slender, gaunt and awkward
man with the long hair and attenu-
ated beard brought down to a point
who says he is the successor Of
Christ, did not lay his hands upon
any of the cripples at all, and an
old blind man, who was vouched
for by "Silver Dollar Smith, who
put his head down in his hands in
despair, was ordered off the plat
form with considerable aspcrity by
the healer. Twenty-Five were oper-
atcd upon.

CANINE REMOaSE.


Disappears nnd Never Returns.
A gentleman from Indiana county, who
is absolutely reliable, related dog story
which would seem to indicate that dog
can suffer keen renorse "A few years
ago." he said, II owned a fine, big mas
tiff, which l had reared from puppyhood
and who was intelligent and faithful. He
was extremely good natured and seemed
to exercise tho most considerable care in
playing with children or smaller dogs not
to hurt them
"Whcn had kept the mastif1 for sever.
al years, l became the posscssor of deli.
cate little Italian greyhound. The mastiR
treated him as one Of the family and new
er abused him, but the little greyhound
considered himself dog of superior breed
and too arstocratic to associate with tho
mastitf. He would snap and snurl at tho
mastiff when he came near, and when the
dogs were fed tho little greyhound would
attempt to drive tho mastiff away. This
continued for some time, until one day
after the greyhound had eaten the guam
tum Of food thrown to it it ran up to tho
mastilf, snapped it on the leg and attempt
cd to take Its food. The mastil1 looked ut
it for u second, and then, as if it had con
cluded that 1t was time to teach the impu-
dent little greyhound lesson, grabbed it
by the neck and gave 1t a little shake
When he dropped it, tho greyhound lay
limp and l!folcss. Ills neck had been bro
ken Brag-that was the mastiff's name
looked at tho dead dog as if sincerely
sorry for what he had done. He tried to
make him get up, and when the little
greyhound WAS taken off and buried he
went along and took great interest in the
proceedings.
":Sccing that tho mastiff was much dis
turbcd over what he had done, spoke to
him kindly, ratted him on the head ard
tried to cheer him up, supposing that he
would forget all about 1t in few minutes
But was mistaken. The dog skunk away
and never returned. That was nearly
three years ago and have never heard of
tho mastiff SINCE lean account for his &C.
lions in no other way than that he was
overwhelmed with rcmorse and shame for
what he had done. "-Punxsutawney Spir.

abandoned Her Baby.

Philadelphia, March Before
Judge Arnold yesterday, Bessie
Webb, aged 10 years, was charged
with abandoning her S-months-old
infant. She came to this city from
Milford, Del, about Christmas and
engaged board with Mrs. Mary
Whalen, 2244 Stewart street. One
day recently she suddenly left the
house, leaving behind the child with
barely enough clothing to cover its
body. Bessie claimed that she did
not abandon the child, but that Mrs.
Whalcn refused to give the child to
her, as she claimed board for its
keeping. This she refused to give,
as she claimed she had done work
for the woman which was equal to
the amount asked for the board.
Mrs. Whalcn yesterday declared
the girl could not have the infant,
saving she was positive the little
one would not be properly treated.
Judge Arnold suggested that the
baby be placed in IA home and
meanwhile the child was allowed to
remain with Mrs. Whalen. Bessie
was released, her own recognizance
being taken 10 appear when wanted.

The Prisoners Conversed In Hebrew, but
the Judge Understood That Tongue.
PLANS FOR ESCAPE FRUSTRATED.
Surprise for The Suspects Found Tha
Their Scheme Of Deception Did Not Work.
Tho Recorder VIII Make no Statement

New York. June 1.-Recorder La
zarus of Bayonne. N. j.. combines with
judicial wisdom a shrewdness which
bids fair TO rival that OF Monsieur Le-
cog, of famous memory. Disguised as
prisoner last Saturday, he learned the
secrets of four suspicious characters in
the cell room of the City Hall. The
culprits, when arraigned before him
yesterday, were struck with consterna-
tion, and their little plot to evade pun
ishment vanished into thin air.
Two of the men were caught by the
Bayonne police during the early morn
ingh hours one day last week. They
were driving truck, and their curious
actions aroused the suspicious OF the
police. The men could give no salts
factory account of themselves. When
the truck was searched IL was found to-
contain a set of burglars tools and two
pairs OF felt slippers.
In another part of Bayonne, at about
the same hour, two other men were ar
rested while they were prowling about,
apparently on the lookout for the ar
rival of the truck. Ii is thought by the
police that the men were bent on some
dark scheme OF robbery, and that the
truck was to cart away the proceeds OF
their crime.
SO shrewd and impenetrable were the
four mysterious men, however, that
nothing could be extracted from them.
They were locked up in the City Hall
prison as suspicious characters.
When the facts were laid before Re-
corder Lazarus, a bright idea struck
his judicial mind. He donned ragged
suit of clothes and ordered the prison
keeper TO conduct him TO the cell room.
Slouching into the prison, the record
er seated himself sullenly In corner.
The four men eyed the newcomer sus-
-pieiausly for a while -hut-as he appar-
emily paid no attention to them they be-
gan to converse among themselves In
Hebrew, tongue with which the re-
corder is familiar.
Deeming themselves safe. the four
men freely aired their plans. The lis
tener had great difficulty in restraining
his laughter as he realized that the
prisoners were concocting a scheme to
outwit Recorder Lazarus. before whom
they were to be taken on the following
Monday.
Wen spring the same game on him
that we worked In Brooklyn" said one
of the men.
"They say he's an easy mark. any
way" chuckled one of his companions.
The prisoners spoke of various af-
fairs i'm which they had been engaged
together and mentioned many dates
and localities, or all OF which tneir IFS
tener took careful note.
When the men were arraigned before
the recorder yesterday each pair de-
MED knowing anything about the other.
The two who were caught with the
truck were held for the grand jur,e
however, and their two companions
were remanded to permit of further
examination into their records by the
police.
The recorder refuses to divulge the
nature of the scheme to deceive him
agreed upon by the men. He is in ac-
tive communication with the police OF
and important developments are ex-
Brooklyn and other cities. however,
pected.
