Michigan Man Who Has Healed 400
Cases by Laying on of Hands.

Michigan Man Who Has Healed 400
Cases by Laying on of Hands.
John Griffit. young laborer of
Niles, Mich. is attracting a great deal
OF attention by his marvellous power
of faith healing. 1t is said that up to
date Grifft has treated over 400 cases,
embracing nearly every variety OF dis
ease, and that he has effected a cuse In
each instance. He cannot explain his
power, but attributes it to a divine gift
which he believes that he received
when child. He has visions and be-
lieves in everything he dreams. He
will undertake to cure only at certain
times, at night time and in the new
and full moon. Young GrifIit is q
bright-looking fellow, apparently quite
intelligent. He invariably bestows his
services free. No less wonderful than
his curative feats is the fact that he
can stop the circulation of the blood
instantaneously. when the body will
become cold as ice. With no apparent
EFFORT he can as speedily cause the
blood to resume its natural course. He
is not member OF any church and
was never baptized in any faith. In
case a vein is severed he can, without
bandages of any form, stop the flow of
blood instantly. The young fellow is
not familiar with the extent of his
wonderful abilities. as he has never yet
met with failure in his attempts to
cure. Altogether he is an extraordi-
nary character, and is attracting wide
spread attention, especially in medical
circles Grifiit is "a years old and was
born in Miami county. Ind. At the age
of IA instinc. told him that he pos
sessed marvellous powers of healing,
and his first case was that of horse
which was so badly afflicted with tu-
NOR of the neck that his father was
about to kill the animal, when the boy
interceded ana commenced operations,
and in few days the animal was en-
.tirely we'll His next case was that of
a young woman suffering with goiter
which the boy cured in one week. His
method is to lay hands on a patient
and pray.

WOMEN STEAL A FIRE TRUCK.
Episode In the Hook and Ladder and
Literary Society Warfare.

Literary Society Warfare.
In the warfare that is being waged
in East Marion, L. l., over the custody
of a hook and ladder truck purchased
by the women of the Literary society
of that place for the use of the local
fire department the women have met
with their first defeat. The fight has
grown out of the recent action of the
officers of the fire companies in having
the village fire department incorporat-
ed. The women of the Literary So
ciety considered that this would de-
bar them from having any say con-
cerning the hook and ladder truck,
and they Immediately put in claim
for the apparatus. They wanted their
gift returned, but what they intended
doing with it is not known. The fire.
men refused to surrender the truck, so
the other night it was stolen from the
truck house. From that time until to-
day the members of the truck company
secured the country side for traces OF
their machine. Today it was discov-
cred secreted in a barn. 1t was i'm
mediately taken back to the truck
house. The women assert they drag
ged the truck away themselves, but it
Is understood that number of male
sympathizers aided in the capture. A
guard will now be placed in the truck
house until the fight is settled.-New

There is more Catarrh IN this section of the
country than all other diseases put together

incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment pronounced IL incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man

A CnmtIous Prophet.

Weather bureaus are seldom safe
from public criticism, for mistakes are
sure to occur; but we must give these
modern prophets credit for an out
spokenness which their forbears were
too shrewd to risk. Mr.. Samuel
Clough. who edited the New England
Almanac at the very beginning OF the
last century. was good example Of n
prophet who intends TO make no mis-
takes. Perhaps" says he, predicting
the weather from January 18th To shc

THE EVIL OF FRIED FOOD.
What Can Be Done to Lessen This
Nuisance:

Nuisance:
No one who has taken the trouble to
scan the average American bill of fare
can fail to recognize the Importance of
the frying pan with us; fried ham or
bacon and eggs, fried oysters. fried po-
tatoes, fried steaks, and so on, ad
nauseum, seem to be staple articles OF
food, says the Philadelphia Medical
Journal. What can be done to lessen
the fried-food nuisance? Perhaps moth
ing so long as present conditions exist;
so long as the highest ideal of the peo-
pie is to accumulate dollars rather than
to develop and preserve healthy bodies
which shall be the servants of healthy
minds. Yet if those who teach physi
ology in our public and other schools
understand their subject and its prac-
tical application as they should; If
there were more schools in which
wholesome, economical cookery were
taught as it should be; if physicians
took every opportunity to impress such
facts of practical hygienic Importance
as they should. there can be no doubt
that by some sensible and well-inform-
ed people, the fried abomin1tons
would be avoided.

The German reichstag commission has
finished the second reading of the meat
inspection bill and the measure in its
new shape has been adopted by all the
members OF the commission. Generally
speaking, the amended form IS quite as
severe in its application to American
meats as was the original form, but the
bundesrath is allowed a certain discretion
which is considered favorable. The main
provisions touching American interests
are the following: Importation of canned,
corned and picked meats, as well as sau
sages, is prohibited. The importation of
hams and bacon is permitted. Fresh
meats will only be admitted in whole car
cases. Preserved and prepared meats
will only be allowed when concededly
harmless. These provisions are to remain
be greater restriction. All foreign meats
must pass a few prescribed frontier sta
tions, where they will be subjected to
inspection. The penalties of a violation
of the law are more severe than ever be-
fore. The Agrarian press declares itself
substantially satisfied with these amend
ments.
T. F. Carver, as attorney for the Kan
sas Live Stock association, brought suit
in the state supreme court last week to
compel the Court Of Visitation to order
a reduction of live stock rates. ]. w.
Robson, the president Of the associa-
ton, is made the complaining witness.
The case will be advanced as rapidly as
possible and will determine the status
Of the Court OF Visitation.

WOOL MARKET,

Boston, Feb 2L-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
1.-The wool market is very dull; manufac-
turers are too busy in attending to the
details Connected with the orders which
they have received and some of them in
getting started on their light weight sam
pies, to pay much attention to wool. They
are generally well stocked with wool
They are, therefore, practically out of the
market What demand there Is contin-
ues to be mostly for quarter blood stock,
both washed and unwashed with a slight
" better inquiry for three-eighths blood.
Fine woods are in very limited demand.
Prices of wool, except on stock grading
quarter and three-eighths blood and be-
low, are easy and 1t is possible to say on
terms are more favorable to purcha sers
than formerly. The sales of the week IN
Boston amounted to 2,1H,0o pounds do
nestle and 10000 pounds foreign, making
a total of 3,271,OOO pounds, against a to-
tai of 4,443000 pounds for the previous
week, and a total of 3,59S,O00 pounds for
the corresponding week a year ago. The
sales since January l, amount 20 IS %. 900
pounds, against 90.075.000 pounds fer the
corresponding time last year"

and Dizziness.
LONDON A LIBERAL BUYER
Domestic Outsiders Still Fight

LONDON A LIBERAL BUYER

New York, Feb. 21-Interest in the stock
market continued very restricted today
and operations were largely in the hands
of professional traders, as on the earlier
days OF the week. The dullness was in
part due to tomorrow's holiday, the trad
ers hesitating to put out new contracts
on account Of doubt existing over the
speculative outlook. Even the closing CUP
of contracts. incident to the eve of a hol-
iday, was on a small scale, indicating
that outstanding commitments on either
side are small But in spite of all de-
pressing factors the uQdertone in the gen.
erai list was rather notable for firmness
and in the railroad department net losses
are the exception rather than BE rule.
London was liberal buyer. A disregard
by the speculative public of the dimin-
ishing bank reserves through absorption
by the United States treasury is account
ed for to some extent by the fact that
gold is being received by Canada and
from California 70 partly offset the drain
to the treasury. There was a sharp re-
coyery in New York exchange at several
interior centers today, indicating a ces-
sation of pressure from that source.
Spectators argue that with the passage
OF the financial bill, now in conference
between the two houses of congress, the
banks will take out all the circulation to
which they are entitled, which would in
volve an expansion of. the currency Of
about 100 per cent OF the present national
bank note circulation. Today's buying
of stocks by London, the hardening ten
dency Of the local money market and en-
increase in the supply of grain and cot
ton bills resulted in q considerable relax
alton of sterling exchange rates, demand
sterling dropping ssc and cables no less
than y per cent on the pound. Closing

sales, from 1Oa121zc down for May ribs to
15G171sc lower for May pork.
May wheat. influenced by easier cables,
opened a shade lower at 67B@6Sc. The
strength of corn caused some buying
which lifted the price to 6S1sc. There
was a good deal of foreign selling up TO
the last 80 minutes, but as there was also
a fair commission house demand around
CSC, the market ranged till near the end
between 673sc and 6SAc. The break in
corn during the last half-hour further de-
pressed the market. May touched STAG
and closed steady, 1sd14c under yesterday
at 67%4 q573sc. Primary receipts were $4,000
bushels. Local receipts were IS cars. At
lantic port ciearances in wheat and -four

strong local interests, however, caused a
reaction which was helped along by
lesser people. May sold off TO 351sG35Ac,
where it ruled steady for some time, but
renewed pressure during the closing min
utes of the session caused a further de-
preston which sent May to 347sc. The
close was easy, May 1sc under yesterday

The business in the oats pit was very
small. Elevators were reported full and
the country districts long on the cereal.
May closed 1sq14c lower, at 23Aq2ssc.
Cash people reported sales Of 100000 BUSH
els.
Provisions were weak, depressed by the
exceptionally heavy hog receipts. The
price was gradually forced down by Ii
quotation and the close was weak. The
market was not a big one. May pork
closed 150171a cents under yesterday at
$l0.S5; May lard 15c down, at s.. 921a. and
May ribs 10Q1212c down, at $59212Q5.95.
