His eyes are brown and clear. and his
manner has the simplicity of the ear
nest religious enthusiast. His cheek
bones are remarkably high, and the
temporal bones sunken. His forehead
is narrow and his head high and
strangely elongated. The effect pro-
duced by his appearance might be very
impressive TO one inclined to believe
in his supernatural powers.
He bears no great resemblance to the
pictures Of the real Francis Schlatter-
The latter was of the Teuton type, and
spoke English with a Germav accent,
having learned the language late in life.
The present SchIatter is. apparently an
Engiishman- He admitted that he has
lived twenty-five years in England,
spending some of the time in London
and some of it in Redhill Sussex, which
seems to destroy any possibility Of his
being the genuine Schlatter.
Il am the original Schlatter." he said,
however, 1.-The man who made the man
ifestations in Denver and who blessed
the handkerchIefs Of the sick. l have
raised thousands of invalids through
the Lord.
There have been several bogus
SchIatters- The one of them who, at
| Boston, said he was going to be buried
for forty days at depth of 100 feet,
was Charles Mclean.
