"MENTAL HEALER" TO ANSWER.
Grand Jury Of United States Court at
jacksonville, Fla, Find True Blu
Against Helen Wllmans.

The grand jury in the United States
court at Jacksonville, Fla, has return
ed true bill against Helen Post alias
Helen Wilmans, Of Sea Breeze. me
Indictment charges that the defendant
violated section 54SJ Of the revised
statutes by devisng schemes and arti'
fees to defraud persons under false
and fraudulent pretenses on her part, by
representing that she possessed the
power OF mental science or mind cure
to cure all forms Of disease and weak
ness, for which she received money that
was converted to her own use. The
case primises to become celebrated, as
the mental scientists at their recent
national conventions at Seabreeze voted
to participate in the defense of the ac'
cused woman and her associates.
Mrs. Post was arrested in August
last and has been under $4,000 bail
Her husband, Colonel G. c. Post, and
her son In law, s. F. Burgman, were
indicted in Macon, Ca, last month.
Mrs. Posts operations have been ex-
tensive and she is alleged to have
made large sums Of money by the prac'
tice Of mental science"
Her instructions to patients are very
interesting. They read in part as fol-
lows:
81 wish you to go alone fifteen min
utes each day and hold yourself recep'
tive to my thought, as IL you were
quietly expecting something pleasant
to come to you.
do not make any great effort to fix
your thoughts on me, but trust me to
draw your thoughts to me; can do it
for you better than you can do it for
yourself. If your mind wanders do not
try to force 1t back; Ieaye it free, If
you become drowsy, give way to the
feeling; do not antagonize it, will
take care of your condition, whatever
it is.
"The first requirement during the
time you sit for treatment is that you
relax yourself; take the nerve tension
off your muscles and your mind, and
let yourself down into an attitude Of
perfect ease and carelessness, as IL you
did not care how things went; did not
even care whether you are sick or not.
This attitude releases your thoughts
from your disease, and gives my
thoughts a chance to come in and cure
you"

reports on the coal supply were mis-

own person his subordinate officers

Admiral Dewey, president of the
court of inquiry, in his report sustains
Admiral Schley at all points and COM

that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch; that in view
of his coal supply, the blockade Of
Cienfuegos was effective; that he al
lowed the Adula to enter Cienfuegos to
get information; that his passage to

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE ENDS.
Electric Clock Proves an Enigma In
Observance Of old-Tlme Custom.
Songs Were In Order.

The general assembly Of Georgia Of
19OO.19O1 finally ceased to do business
at the state capitol in Atlanta Friday
night at 1880 O'Clock.
The usual closing scenes were en-.
acted, and, when both branches of the
legislature adjourned sine die, men
who had opposed each other upon the
floor in spirited debates during the
past two years clasped hands, at the
same time expressing regret that the
hour of parting had arrived.
In many respects the general assem-.
bly, which thus passed into history was
somewhat a remarkable body Of men.
During the past session some of the
most important measures ever consid.
ered by any legislature were acted
upon.
While the clock licked off the min.
utes of the closing hours of the session
a general love feast was held. The
president Of the senate, speaker of the
house ano other prominent members
Of both houses were remembered by
their appreciative colleagues in man.
ner well calculated to warm the
cookies Of their hearts" Handsome
gifts were presented and words of
highest praise were bestowed upon
those who had worked hard during the
past two years as representatives of
the people in the legislative halls.
The time-honored custom of turning
back the hands Of the clocks was out.
lawed this year because of the fact
that electric timepieces were installed
in both branches of the legislature and
there was no way of throttling them.
True, the faces of these clocks were
covered with papers, just for safety's
sake, but the precaution came to
naught, as adjournment was taken
fully half an hour before midnight.
After adjournment had been declar.
ed in the house many of the members
appeared reluctant to leave, Some of
the representatives who were known to
possess good voices were called upon
for songs, and for half an hour the hall
rang with the melody of God Be With
You TIL We Meet Again." my Old
Kentucky Home" Home, Sweet
Home" and other tuneful airs. Mr..
Park, Of Troup, who possessed a splen.
did tenor voice, was prevailed upon to
lead the singing, while all the others

Charlotte, N. C., fnally adjourned Sat

Among other indictments returned by
the grand jury was one against the

Under the indictment the defend.

The grand jury discovered the fact
that the cherry tree company has been

many persons have been caught by
the tempting offers held out by this

rotary Long at p, m, Friday received
the findings Of the court Of inquiry

The result was complete surprise,
and it is probable that no prophesy

Of the court and by Sam c. Lemly, the
Judge advocate. This is a form said
to be recognized in all courts Of in.

A representative of the Association
Pres conveyed the first information Of
the findings Of the court to Admiral
Schley. He was seated in the public
reception room Of a hotel, chatting
with friends and several newspaper
men, and showed no signs Of nervous.
ness over the outcome.
When the conclusions Of Admiral
Dewey were read to him, Admiral
Schley showed his pleasure, and it was
evident from his manner that he re.
garded the statement from Admiral
Dewey as a vindication of his cause,
He declined to make any statement
concerning the courts findings, and
excusing himself from the little com.
pany which had gathered about him,
he went to his apartments, where Mrs
Schley had been anxiously awaiting to
hear the courts decision.
Admiral Dewey declined to make
any statement concerning the courts
findings. He said the court was not
dissolved and that he was still bound
by bis oath Of secrecy.
