Tt is true, now and then. some wonderful
discovery has been stumbled upon by acci-
dent, but almost every discovery OF gent
inc benefit to the world has been the result
of long and patient study and unwearying
toll The great blessings showered upon
humanity by such men as Weltmer, Edizon,
Ericsson, Fulton, Lister. Pasteur, Whit
ney, Morse, and Franklin are not acci-
dents but come about after many years OF
scientific labor, and were only perfected on
account of the great master minds that had
them in charge. Prof s. A. Weltmer, the
subject of this sketch, has undoubtedly
done more for humanity than any other in
ventor or investigator known to mankind
BY this statement we do not wish to be-
little other great discoveries, but simply
take the stand that no being IS happier
than he or she who has been relieved OF
disease which was thought hopeless. and
as it is a fact that $4,000 living beings owe
their good health, and in many instances
their very life, to the wonderful method OF
Magnetic Healing of which Prof. Weltmer
is the founder and which is known as Welt
merism we can logically say that he is hu-
manitys greatest benefactor.
Words cannot express the honor due TO

has been perfected which makes itse.f mas

A POLICEMAN ACCUSED.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
before Judge Taylor. Policeman E. F. Nc
Cort, of No. precinct, appeared as the
complaining witness against Charles Black
stone and his wife, colored, residents of
what is known as THE Camp The police
man informed the court that he had arrest
ed the man and woman on the street Thurs
day because they were swearing, and en-
gaging in disorderly conduct. He had
heard them while he was in the neighbor-
hood in some bushes McCort was the only
witness for the prosecution. The charge
against the colored people was dismissed.
During the testimony of witnesses for
the defense an entirely different phase OF
the matter than that presented by the Of
fcer who was responsible for the arrest was
brought out. The testimony seemed to in
dicate that MeCort had been guilty Of i'm
proper conduct, and it was said that he had
made the arrests in an effort TO cover up
his alleged actions. The misconduct of
which McCort was accused by the witnesses
for the defence involves Betty Jackson, the
thirteen -year-old sister of the Blackstone
woman. The girl, ii is said, did not under
stand the meaning of McCort's remarks.
and acquainted the Biackstones with them.
The Blackstones gave their version of the
affair in a straightforward manner which
impressed the judge. 1t is probable that
the matter will be brought to the attention
of Major Sylvester. and, in the event that
ne considers an investigation necessary,
McCort will be brought before Trial Officer

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.

QuiFy Into james aeDSters DeaTh.
Detectives, Hartigan and McNamee yes
terday arrested and locked up Charles
Brooks colored resident Of Sumner Ave-
nue.. Anacostia, on a charge of suspicion.
There is nothing specific in the charge al
though the detectives are trying to gather
sufficient evidence against the man to
show that he had some knowledge OF the
death of James Webster, a eolored man
who was run over and killed by an Ana
costa car on the Navy Yard Bridge cn the
night of April 1. The death was inve5ti-
gated by the police and Coroner Carr and
a certificate Of accidental death was issued.
Subsequently Daniel Webster, a brother
of the dead man, not being satisfied with
the action of the police, addressed a letter
to District Attorney Davis setting forth
that in his belief his brother was pushed
under the car which killed him. As mat
ter of fact, it was learned at the time of
the killing that Webster was being pur-
sued or was pursuing colGred man when
he fell under the car. All efforts at that
time failed to reveal the identity OF the
ether man. After Webster's letter to the
District Attorney had been turned over to
the police with a request that the matter
be looked into, Detectives Hartigan and
McNamee were detailed on the case. They
learned that Brooks was with Webster on
the night of April l and his arrest fol-
lowed.
Brooks admits that he was with Webster
on the night in question, but claims that
he left him before the accident occurred.
So far the detectives have not been able TO
learn anything which would indicate that
the death of Webster was due to anything
hut an accident.

He has. therefore. decided to teach his pro-

them for assistance. The great number OF
students who are now praeticing bis meth
