WENT WILD OVER HIM.
New York, he says, went wild over
him. A number of prominent Tam
many men offered him a large sum OF
money II he would cure the blindness
of Charles Broadway Rouse, a multi
millionaire politician. He spurned the
money, but went to see Mr.. Rouse.
After short conversation he learned
that Mr.. Rouse was a follower of In
gersoll and left him to his fate, as II Is
utterly impossible for him to cure a
person who does not believe in Christ.
This proves the claim often made that
Ingersoll, in his innermost heart, be-
lieved in God, for, as noted above, Dr.
Mclean cured Ingersoll.
This latter cure was effected in Bos-
ton. DR.. Mclean and the noted infidel
met in a public debate in the Academy
of Music. 1t gave Bob a severe head
ache. DIR. Mclean cured him. Incl
dentally the doctor disclosed to Bob
the date on which the world would
lose the great unbeliever, and at the
same time closed a deal with him for
another Joint debate at some big hail
in Atlantic City, the month after the
day set far Ingersolls death DR.. Nc
Lean says that Ingersoll died on the
day he named.
The doctor concluded his story to
The Tribune man by telling him how
six editors of six different Chicago
papers had died singly and in pairs
sudden and unprovided deaths for hav-
ing opposed less divine worker Chan
he, the famous DR.. Alexander Dowie,
whose new tangled Zion church and
land improvement company is doing
such heaps in Chicago and Throop.
II never saw 1t fail" quoth the doc
tor, speaking in awful tones and fast
ening his small bead-like eyes on the
reporter that any newspaper man
who ever opposed me or criticized me
met with an ill fate. Certain papers
in this city are going to attack me.
One paper in particular, the -,
will assail me. Your paper will not.
A reporter named Eagan, on the Pitts
burg Commercial-Des told the
truth about me and wrote me up nice
ly l told him that the next time l
came to Pittsburg he would be city
editor of his paper. When l vext Wis
tied Pittsburg he was city editor of
the Despatch
The doctor asked The Tribune man
to write his name in full on a slip of
paper. when 1 pray for a friend, it
is essential that l have his name"
The reporter declined the request. The
trials and trbulations of a city editor
on election night were too fresh in the
aforesaid reporters memory.
The doctors press clippings tell that
he is "a years of age, was born in New
York, educated and ordained to the
Presbyterian ministry in Scotland
graduated from a medical college there
and has possessed the power of divine
! healing since birth, his mother hav-
ing been informed by heavenly mes
sage while he was yet unborn that she
was about to bear a son who Would be
next to Christ the greatest healer the
earth ever knew, and who would emu
late all of His wonderful works.
The doctor is a very well-educated
man, converses fluently in elegant die
tion, has a face beaming with intelli-
gence and wears soiled cuffs.
Any person having a dead friend
whom they wish restored to life can
have that same accomplished by pro-
| ducng the corpse at Laurel Hill park
next Sunday. 1t is necessary that the
dead person should have lived a good
life and that the body has not decom-
posed.
