SCHLATTER in ST. PAUL
'DIVINE' HEALER OF BURIAL
FAME TO WORK MIRACLES.

Charles Mclean, better known as
Schlatter, the divine healer. is in st.
Paul.
On his own admission he Is the greatest
of alldivine healers and, in fact, he does
not hesitate to say that his record in
this respect is second only to that of
Jesus Christ.
To listen to the healer descant on his
exploits, one would think he has done
even more than the Savior in the healing
line, for he modestly lays claim to having
raised from the dead no fewer than seven
persons; three in wicked Chicago, and
four in equally wicked Old London. This
number is equal to the total raised from
the dead by the different performers of
miracles mentioned in holy writ and
Schlatter admits to holding the world 8
record as raiser from the dead.
Somewhere in the wilds of the noun
tains in Colorado, this peripatetic worker
of miracles claims to have been buried
under ground for a period of forty days,
terpreted from the German, signifies
sleeper" Just under what conditions,
and just where orewhen he worked this
When questioned about it, he reyerently
lowers his head and mysterious.y says
that God will not permit me to talk
OUT any more than he let Moses talk OF
his sojourn in the mountains" -
Divine healing by an expert is most
lucrative profession. In one collection
he says he raised half million dollars In
the state of Maine.
Richard Croker he says, once gave him
S., 900 for curing him of heart disease, con-
tracted while watching close finishes by
his horses on the English turf. Over
joyed at the complete recovery of their
chief, the push" at Tammany hall raised
and presented him with $4,000 purse, at
least Mr.. Mclean will pledge hiS>word of
honor as healer that they did.
In personal appearance the poSSeSSor of
divine power is lean, lank and cadaverous.
His whiskers and hair float to the breeze,
secure from tonsoriaI aggression, and his
general expression is that of an elderly,
keen witted mountebank. Yet, if he is to
be believed, his charms are so completely
irresistible to the feminine heart that
Hetty Green, that hard-headed dealer in
millions of dollars, once offered him s., 00),-
600 if he would consent to lead her blush
ing self to the altar This offer he re-
fused, and the love-sick Hetty was forced
to go back to her financial worries un-
cCnSoled.
Though enjoying an income of many
millions of dollars annually, he says he
gives it AL away, and If this is the case,
he will, during his soiourn in st. Paul. be
troubled with more applications for finan-
cial than healing balm. for here dollars
speak louder than miracles, It's said.
Schlatter, now that the summer is over,
would not object to a burial. and he pro-
fesses to he willing to be buried alive
for forty days or eighty. if the health
rection is guaranteed Or money refunded.
Next Sunday the healer will commence
series of services in Mozart hall, and
will perform miracles twice every day
without money and without price The
halt and the lame and the deaf and
the blind are invited and the professor
will do the rest.

The story is most revolving one, and
is to the effect that on last Sunday night
Rom broke the leg of a horse belonging
to Morris Swartz, 14S Kentucky street;
also that he did the same thing to two
other horses some time ago, in each in
stance using an ak.
Such was the story that emanated from
the county attorneys Office yesterday,
but, as far as known. no eye-witnesses
to the cruel deeds have been found.
The horse injured Sunday night was
killed Tuesday by Officer Moak and DR..
White.
F. Biacker, $50 Kentucky street, and
Sam Sandwich, 14S State street, are the
men who lost horses in the same man
ner. 1t it understood that Blacker, Sam
ovitch, Rom and Swartz are all peddlers,
and that a sort of petty feud has been
existing in their neighborhood for some
time How true these statements are
will be developed when the case comes
up for consideration.
