y curious-lookiug little colored woman
was among the visitors to the White House
today She wore a blue cap, on the front
of which was a brass tag bearing the
words The Worlds Healer" She wanted
to see the President. as she had message
from on high for him, she said. She could
not communicate the message to any one
else. As the President was not handy she
finally stated that the message she had for
him was that the white race is doomed and
that there will be no President of this
country after January /. She declared that
the white man is to be relegated to a sec
ond position in the worlds history, and
that he will become the slave of the col
ored race. Every white person will be
slave. she declared Several of those who
wanted to buy themselves off, as excep-
tons, were Indignantly refused.
The worlds healer declared that she had
come to Washington few days ago from
New York. She found that city too hard
and sinful a locality to attempt work in.
She went there in 1895 to try to save the
white race, for whom she had fought all
her life but they were unthankful, and she
intended to let them go. Before she went
to New York she lived in Waco, Texas,
and her name was Matilda Johnson. That
name was too common. however, for a
worlds healer, and the nearest approach to
common name was when she was called
Sister Healer" The wags at the White
House solemnly introduced her to their
friends by this name

was not interesting enough to show her to
be a dangerous fakir and was not keen

iunauc She says that the white people
Will not believe her. but that they may con-
slider themselves lost. She points to the
twenty-second and succeeding verses of the
twenty-tith chapter of Genesis to show that
two races were born and that one would
master the other. The story in that chap
ter Is Of the birth of Esau and Jacob. She
claims to be inspired and to talk by the
card.
