and instructive illustrated lecture given
by the great aurist.
All sorts of electrical instruments and
machines, from the largest to the small
.st, were operated with great skill, not
alone in the treatment of deafness, but
also in the wonderfully beautiful eleetri-
cal fireworks produced by the almost
magical juggling of millions of volts of
electricity. OF special interest was the
ex l'Dltion by the great May machine,
the largest and orly one of its kind ever
used for exhibition purposes in Washing
ton.
DIR. Wilson fully demonstrated his poly
pathic treatment for deafness. which is
bloodless, painless. and harmless, and in
cludes many improvements on the meth
DDS of the best aurists or ear specialists of
the world, together with his own most
wonderful and original treatment, per-
fected several years since This treatment
embraces electricity in many forms and
other means almost too numerous to men,
ton. This combination has enabled the doc
tor to cure deafness for many years, but
now that his latest and greatest invention.
the BiOchymic generator, has been brought
into use, he finds that he cannot only cure
many cases of deafness and blindness that
were heretofore iucurable. but many per-
sons have their sight and hearing restored
in less than half the time previously re-
quired.
The doctor was at his best, and handled
his subject in such mastery manner as
to convince all that he is not only familiar
with every portion of that intricate and
complicated organ, the ear but also with
every kind of treatment that has ever been
employed for diseases of that important or
gan.
Many applications for free treatment
were made upon small cards, which were
all placed in a hat and thoroughly mixed
and then a person selected by the audi
ence was blindfolded. and drew a half doz-

In pursuing her alleged swindiing opera
tons, and in order TO interest men Of high
standing, Mrs. Mickey conceived plan for
the publication of Hands That Have Built
Empires which, she explained 10 her pa
irons, was TO be a volume on the charac-
teristics of famous men as shown by their
palms. Mrs. Mickey, suave. refined, and at
tractiye OF manner found. little difficulty
in interesting a number OF well known per-
SONS in her scheme. The President was
approached and from him an order for a
copy of the proposed volume was received
Others Of high standing who were inter
viewed by Mrs Mickey, and who are said
to have given their support to the plan for
the publication, are William Jennings
Bryan, Senator Davis Of Minnesota, Speaker
Henderson, and Representatives Champ
Clark and Sulzer DR.. Mackay- Smith, Ellen
Terry. and Olga Nethersole.

various hands could be secured to have a

These were arranged for by the patrons of
the woman. and several persons are said
TO have advanced the price before a final
order was given for the casts. In a room
al the Hotel Gordon, where Mrs. Mickey
had been guest for several months, there
are number OF these casts, including
those of the hands of ". J. Bryan. Repre-
sentatiyes Sulzer, Champ Clark. and 9th rs.
These casts alone serve as a gentle re-

supposed to have left the city.
The warrant for the arrest OF Mrs. Nc
Key was sworn out late Friday afternoon,
and charges the passing of WORTH

learned that several hotels and business

police are true. The Gordon Hotel is owed

there about week, and. ii is said, claimed
heavy damages from the management as
the result of being slightly injured by the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intiamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have rum

THE AUTOGRAPH MESSAGE

Washington, July 29.-The receipt ar Tien Tsin of an apparently genuine message In autograph from Minister COnger has done nothing to dispal the doubt as to the situation at Pekin. The message, which was first forwarded by the naval officers at Tien Tsin. .Taku and Che Foo, has served only to GeeptD the darkest and saddest mystery of the century,. The official conclusion re- mains unchanged, of course, but it is admitted that a careful scrutiny Of thP autograph message, in comparison with the famous cipher message from Min ist5r Conger, admits of the belief that the two messages Were written by MT. Conger al about the same time. ThS situation at the British legation is rep r6Aented to be the same in each case, and as MT. Conger declares that relief must come quickly. if at all, there is ground for suspicion that the crisis is over. The assumption that tns req soning is correct involves the further conclusion that MT. Conger's ciphel message. if genuine, was related, and of course if related at all. that was done by Chinese officials. On the other hand and in support of the state departments position, came today a message from another of the great Chinese viueroys. Tax, at Canton, who took charge after Ii Hung Chang's departure. This also affirmed solemnly the safety of the legationers, and, con- ing from so many different sources and from such an important Chinese official. these dispatches claim attention. The pessimistic view of them. however, at- tributes them all to a common origin, namely. to some high Chinese person. age at Pekin.
