Mental Healing.

A poor woman named Mrs. Ricky
who lives five or six miles west OF
Monroe. came into the courtroom
about month ago and asked Judge
Potts to interdict her little boy, 8
years old. Two doctors pronounced
the boy crazy and insane. He
could not walk, would notice nobody
and instead Of walking erect, he
jumped along like a frog Mr.. E.
I. Lamkin was in the court room at
the time and together with Judge
Potts proceeded to examine the lit
tie fellow. From the moment MIR.
Lamkin spoke to him, he frightened
up and seemed to take confidence.
Mr.. Lamkin did not interr0gate
him, but spoke kindly yet firmly
about him, saying lie was not crazy
but was little man, and asserting
that he would walk and talk all
right. Immediately it was apparent
that Mr.. Lamkin had gained con-
troll Of the boy, WHO still could not
walk. He told the boy togo nome
with his mother and that on next
Saturday lie would be able to talk
and walk ike mau. In couple Of
weeks, Mrs. Ricky returned with
the boy who ran all over the town
hunting for Mr. LamkiD, who had
told the boy il lie came back all
right, hc would give him a little
wagon. His mother said that lie
recovered his senses and the use and
control Of his limbs on the Saturday
that Mr.. Lamkin told him he would.
The child seemed to bave absolute
faith in whatever MIR. Lamkin said
ana watched him and listened 10 bllu
with rapture. The result is that
the boy is saved from the asylum
and will no doubt grow up into u
useful citizen.
In ancient times, this would la, e
been called miracle, but Mr.. Lam
kin is the last man IN Monroe .wbO
would set up as q worker OF
miracles. The power he exercised
is well known to mentl-curisls. It is
the secret of notwithstanding which
operates by securing the faith of
the patient. II can make the lame
walk, the dumb speak and the blind
see. Mr.. Lamkin evidently pos
sesses this wonderful power to .
marked degree. Monroe Bulletin.

Similar instances to the following,

Similar instances to the following,
related by West Virginia CORE
spondent Of the Baltimore Sun, are
Of record, though they are q severe
strain upon credulitY:
"Recen,ly James Pickering was
struck by train in the yards OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad CO,o-
pany here, and it was necessary to
amputate one Of his arms. Ever
since the accident the portion Of
chickering's arm which remained
has caused him intense pain. Rail-
readers who have lost limbs in SINH
lar accidents informed the unfortu-
nate man that il hls arm, which was
amputated, was buried in q
cramped position the pain would
never cease As long As it remained
cramped. Pickering caused the dis
membered portion to be disinterred.
and it was found to be in cramped
position, the elbow being bent until
both OF the joints Of the arm met.
The arm was Strengthened out and
again buried, and Pickering has
felt no pain SINCE

WORK OF TRUSTS.

1t appears thai at Paramount, a
small town near Cincinnati, there
has been in operation factory for
the manufacture Of wire fencing,
employing 500 workmen with, an
average pay roll Of $4,000 q week,
which meant the distribution OF
$3.50, 900 year among the business
men ard residents Of the town. The
factory was prospecting and the
employees were contented, but The
works have been closed by trust
aud 500 men are now out Of employ
nent. The worst part OF tue BUSH
ness is that number Of the work.
men had purchased homes, expect
ing permanent employment, and as
they will be unable to pay the bal-
ance due, will lusc all they have ID
the world. Thus another trust les
son is presented for tue considera-
ton of those who think the question
of trusts will not be an issue in the
campaign OF 1900. The Chicago
Democrat has this to say of the Un-
fortunate plight OF the woTkmen OF
Paramount:
The means by which they earned
living have been taken away from
them. They have 10 other resources
of existence. They must leave their
homes and seek work elsewhere,
aud in the meantime the mortgage
sharks will seize their property and
the labor Of years will be mace
valueless.
This is the lesson which the
wire fencing trust has taught the
laboring people of Paramount. Is
there any lesson IN it for the labor
ing people in general! Will the men
who work for a living vote as Mark
Hanna dictates and thus aid in per-
peluating the trusts, or will they
vote The democratic ticket and aid
the party which desires to make
such object lessons as that at Fair
mount an impOssibilitY?"
The following is another example
OF how the trusts get in their work:
At Oskalooss, Iowa. the super
yisurs Of the county have reduced
the assessment on all oatmeal plant
from So, 800 to $1,000, under the
pretext that the mill is idle. The
property is ssid to be worth $780,
600, and is not in use because Of an
agreement with the oatmeal trust,
from which it receives an annual
dividend OF from So, 900 10 $4,000
for keeping the doors closed. Men
are thus deprived Of employment,
not as an economy Of production.
but for the purpose of limiting the
output and robbing consumers of
oatmeal. This "trust" conspiracy.
whereby profits are made from idle
ness. is growing familiar to Ameri
cans.

SLIDELL.

Surrounded by walls Of pine,
Which purify the air
With aromatic fragrance,
Unequaled anywhere;
Watered by living springs
That have a noble birth,
Deep in the cool, soft bosom
OF dear old Mother Earth;
Wood dove and whip-poor-will
Fling their magic spell,
Among the leds anil lassies
In the village of Slidell.
Hove its quiet streets,
The dear old bayou's brink,
Where lazy cows at n0on-tide
Come tagging down to drink.
The church. wherein I've seen
Brides and infants blest,
And beard the solemn pean

These scenes, and such as these.

New General Manager OF
East Louisiana II. Il.

Mr.. Nathan G. Pearsall is the name
of the new General Manager Of the East
Louisiana Railroad.
As an Official OF this road this gen
tleman is not SO well known, but Mr..
Pearsall has long been connected with
railroads in this State, and it is in the
great wheel fraternity that he is known
by everybody, and most favorably known
He has just been appointed General
Manager of the East Louisiana Road,
and his headquarters will be in Coving-
ton.
Since the death of Captain John
Poitevent, the President and principal
owner OF the East Louisiana, which &C.
Cured some weeks ago, the new man
agement, with President Hayne at its
head, decided to pursue more aggres-
sive policy in connection with the East
Louisiana than that carried out by the
former President, whose first purpose
in building the road at all was to pene-
trate his vast timber lands. The appoint
ment of General Manager is the first
step. Mr.. Pearsall, so railroad people
say, will take hold OF the Affairs of the
East Louisiana and push the road far
forward In developing the wonderful
country through which it passes.
There is not q more healthful portion
of the globe than the pine lands of St.
Tammany parish, and Mr.. Pearsall,
putting to use his abilities as mana
ger and a road constructor, will no
doubt succeed in carrying out the pro-
gressive plans of the new management.
Personally Mr.. Pearsall is an elegant
gentleman, as q railroad man, he takes
first rank.
ar. Pearsall began his railroad career
with the Memphis and Charleston Road,
Feb. 8, 1879, as brakeman, from which
he worked up to . freight conductor.
IN January, 1882, he left that road and
went to Mexico, where he worked as q
freight conductor. Two years later he
came with the Texas and Pacific as q
freight conductor, and afterward he
was put in charge of . passenger
train. This was in May, 1887. InJune
of that year his faithful service was
and his ability was recognized
by his company appointing him division
which position he held
with the Texas and Pacific from May
q, 1887, up TO year or so ago, when he
retired on account of ill health. He
was for some months out of the railroad
business altogether, but finally was
made general manager of the Avoyelles
and Southwestern, which position he
leaves to come with the East Louisiana.
For ten or twelve years while superin-
tendent Of the Texas and Pacific, Mr..
Pearsan did a great work for that road,
and easily gained for himself the
reputation of being one OF the best
in the city.
Mr.. Pearsall owns home in this city.
and his family has lived here all the
while, SO that he is naturally glad At
being again so close to his adopted
home. His headquarters, however, for
the time being. will be in CovingtOn.-
Picayune.
