100000 DOCTOR FAILS TO
 WIN LOVE FOR HIS PATIENT

Judge Mccoy out of money. These two negroes were the prosecuting witnesses, and the case will be decided today on what they said
 The doctor has worked his charms OF John Dorsey in order that he could win back the love of Margaret Reese. his dusky fiancee, and the price paid for the three pills of magic was a $35 watch which stood as security for $l2 in cash.
 Some days ago Dr. Johnson went to the rolling mills and there discovered that John was losing the love of his sweet heart. He placed in the palm of John S hand loadstone and clinched his fin- gers around it closely for several min utes. The fingers were released and the doctor declared that there was something wrong, that an evil spirit had gotten pos session of Johns swethearts heart and she was loving another.
 He made some mystic passes about the loadstone with something supposed to be a compass and the maneuvers were some. thing worth seeing. For the price of $12 he offered to donate three small pills. which, if taken by John, would draw his sweetheart to him and bring him happi- ness. In haste the watch was given as security for the money and the pills were delivered. They were intellectual and thrice did John call at Margaret Reese s house to win her back. It was impos- sible.
 Judge Mccoy, another negro, had a similar experience
 Judge Feagin will render a decision to- day.

BALFOUR BLAMES
 LORD ROSEBERY WaxeS Sarcastic Over English Army Administration DEFENDS THE SECRETARY Says Army Performed Feat In South Africa That No Nation Has Ever
 Attempted or Ever Car
 ried Out.
DEFENDS THE SECRETARY

London, November 27.-Premier Balfour, presiding at the annual banquet of the United Service club tonight, delivered an address on the fiscal question before the people. Mir Balfour defended the secre- tary of state for war, who he said, had to face a more complex problem than that now before the war minister of any other nation on account of the vast scope of British territory. He blamed the liberal predecessors of the present government for their deliberate policy of starving the army which policy had resulted in the difficulties experienced in the South Af- rican war, notwithstanding the efforts of the present government, which did it's utmost to bring the army up to an effi- cient standard. He contended that the army as framed by the unionist govern ment, operating through Lord Lansdowne and Lord Wolsely. had performed feat in South Africa that no nation had ever attempted or had ever carried out, but he said no enthusiastic gratitude had been displayed to those who were respon- sibe for this result
 If the army in it's condition as left by Lord Rosebery's administration, said the premier. had to go through the South African campaign it would have met with illimitable disasters.
 MT. Balfour said it was not his intention to apologize, because he did not consider that an apology was necessary but when he found Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and Lord Rosebery denouncing the pres ent governments military policy and thought of their own conduct of military affairs, he felt his gorge rise. He thought that for very shame the members of the Rosebery government would have pre- served silence.
 He did not wish to minimize the mag ntude of the miscalculation which had been made in South Africa, but it was a mscalculation of which the whole British military profession was alike guilty, If guilty is the word and it was not due to the mal-administration of the war off, flee.
 In regard to the future, Premier Bal four asserted that he did not believe a large army was required for home de- fence In the ultimate end. Great Brit ain must depend upon the free will of a free people.

the Austrian embassy, and the Austrian consulate, where they wers received by troops who charged them with drawn bayonets Struggles between the stu dents and troops ensued and several ar rests were made while the crowd con- tinued to cry down with Francis Joseph 'let us break up the triple al- liance," and to sing the Garibaldi hymn.
 There was great enthusiasm in the law courts today when a student who was arrested yesterday for striking a police man and smashing his helmet, was &C., quilted.
 There were similar demonstrations today in the principal towns of Italy, and es- pecially in Florence and Turin, where the university has been closed. During the demonstration in Florence two Aus trian flags were burned in the public square.

 OF ]. ". JOHNSON
SEVERAL OF THE ROOMS WERE DAMAGED, BUT THE LOSS IS FULLY COVERED BY lNSUR- ANcE-PARRoT sUFFocATED.

The residence of Captain Jack w. John- son, at 2177 Highland avenue was badly damaged by a fire which originated last night about 10:30 o'clock Owins 10 the lateness of the hour it was impossible 10 obtain correct estimate of 'he damage, but it is fully covered by insurance.
 The fire originated from defective Hue to the heater in the basement, and seemed to run up the east side of the house. damaging more or less every room on that side. It got into the roof and did much damage under the rafters before it could be extinguished
 The firemen used comparatively little water and the water damage to the fur niture and house will be small Large insurance is carried on both the house and furniture.
 The fire spread very rapidly, and With in a minute or two after it was discov- cred the entire house was filled with smoke so that 1t was impossible for any one to enter. Several occupants of the house had narrow escape from being overcome with the smoke.
 Captain Johnson's parrot, which was very intelligent, was -suffocated in the fire The bird is known all over the Highlands and many will miss it. Cap tain Johnson is out of the city

The Wills Musical company played Sweet Sixteen" which consists of many vaudevilel acts put together with run hing story which does not amount to a plot. As the management states. the company does not pretend to be a big musical combination, and merely plays at popular prices. It is worth all that is paid for admission. Richards" an i'm personator, carries off the laurels, as he is very fine on the toe dancing Miss Louise Mink, one of the members of the company, is as pretty a woman as has been seen here this season. She is also clever. There is a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight by the same company In Two Old Cronies."

The court of Judge Feagin was trans formed yesterday for an hour into an al- chemists office and Dr. Henry Johnson, a famous negro sorcerer, had some of his magic arts brought to light.
 Frequently on the stage of today the hero is given a power by the fairy queen and with this he wins the love of his lady. Tn actual life this has not happened In many years, and not since mediaeval days has thls been much believed in and prac- ticed But in fhe court yesterday it was shown that Dr. Johnson had this power, descended from A long line of ancestors who were negro "hoodoo" doctors and had strange influence with the good and bad spirits.
 The 'hoodoo' doctor was arrested by Policeman Patton Thursday afternoon on a charge of swindling John Dorsey and
