Prof. E. R. Woodward Does

Prof. F. R. Woodward, of Minneapo-

/ cure philosophy, which has become
I something of a craze among all classes
/ of people.
I Prof Woodward has been for years a
victim of diabetes and he has tried
every sort Of treatment known to med
iclne without receiving perceptible
benefit, until the fast cure idea &C.
Cured to him. After consulting sew
eral of his friends who had tasted from
ten to sixty days for all sorts of all
ments, Prof. Woodward determined to
try the process, and he began fasting
on Feb. 16. He ate nothing from that
time to March 10, when, believing him
self cured, he opened up with light
breakfast and has since been gradually
resuming his normal diet.
There is no trace Of the disease re-
naming, said Prof. Woodward in
speaking Of his recovery. Il was not
satisfied with my own convictions on
the matter, but since I began eating
again l have been to the doctors who
were treating me before I began fast
ing, and they have made the tests
which show to their SATISFACTION that

These doctors told me I fad Bright
disease and there WAS no chance of re-
covery. I took their word for it. but
was determined to uses.every possible
opportunity that presented of improv-
ing my condition. When i began fast
ing / really had little faith in the eff
cacy Of the repIedysespecfalf in such
a case as. mine, but after a week of

improving rapidly After that the i'm

There are now fifteen people in the
city who have not eaten a mouthful for

TELLS HOW INSURANCE
FRAUDS WERE WORKED
Aged Italian Under Arrest and in Dy-
ing Condition.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 23.-Cassi-
mir CicciOne, the aged Italian who was
arrested yesterday as one of the prin-
Cipals in the New York city insurance
frauds, is in a dying condition and
may expire before the New York at
tOrneys repres enting the insurance
companies can reach here to take his
prefer Ciccione blames his son for
getting him into trouble and told how
the fraud scheme was worked.
He said he was the keeper of fruit
stand in New York several years ago
when he was approached by an Italian
named Joe Ross, who wanted him to
have his life insured, promising to
meet all expenses. CicciOne signed the
application and says he thought no
more of the matter until the detec
tiVes came and told me my son had
said was dead and buried. The
money l received for signing the paper
would not pay for a bunch of bananas.
/ am told my son collected the money
on my policy.
The manner in which the insurance
frauds are worked in New York, I am
told, is for a policy to be taken out on
the life Of an old man and then a body
is obtained from the morgue, which is
buried in the name of the live man.
The applicant in many cases is an old
man very near death, and man who
is hale and hearty goes to the COM
panyS office and after examination
certificate is issued. A small sum is
paid the man when he signs the ap-
plication and he is cautioned to keep
quiet. My son got me into the bust
ness and l want to die before the thing
goes any further"

LINCOLN AND DAVIS
CABIN TIMBERS MIXED
Astonishing Discovery in Connection
With Beecher Memorial Fund.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The cabin
in which Abraham Lincoln was born
and another cabin of logs which was
associated with the life of Jefferson
Davis have become mixed up and the
timbers of both structures now make
up single building. The revelation of
this fact came about through the eff
forts of the Rev. DR.. Hills, pastor of
Plymouth church, to add to the Beech
Ell memorial fund.
DR.. Hills and those associated with
him in the Beecher memorial move
ment made arrangements for a Lin
coin evening" in Plymouth church to-
morrow night, and Benjamin Chaplin,
the student and imperSonator of Lin
coin, was engaged to tell the story of
Lincolns life from the platform. 1t
was decided to obtain for the evening
the little log cabin in which Lincoln
was born and have it set up in the
church parlor. The cabin is the one
which was on exhibition at the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo.
The owners of the cabin declared
they would be glad to lend it if it were
all the Lincoln cabin. but they then
said that, as a matter of fact, the
structure, which is at present at Coney
Island, is only a representation of the
hut in which the great emancipation
was born and the Davis cabin. The
oi4S4Idl Lincoln cdpIn, SAID one Oh the
owners, had been purchased by a
restaurant man from colored preach
er named Bingham, at Nolin Creek,
Larue county, Ky. He loaned it for ex-
hlb1uon purposes to the managers of
the Nashville exhibition and afterward
stored it in the cellar of a small res
taurant on the Bowery. In the same
cellar he stored a log cabin connected
with some historical incident in the
life of Jefferson Davis, the president
OF the Confederacy. When they were
brought out the movers mixed the tim

Secretary of War Says No Action Will
Be Taken On Them.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March %
Secretary Root today took official ac-
ton on the charges made by Estes G..
Rathbone against Gen. Leonard Wood.
He made an Endorsement on the paper
saying that no answer to the charges
was required from Gen. Wood and no
action will be taken thereon, and that
it was known to the secretary of war
that the charges in every respect were
without just foundation.
The secretary refers to the part talk
en- by the military governor in the
postoffices cases in which Rathbone
was a defendant, saying that Gen.
Wood at every step had the approval
of the secretary Of war and exercised
only such control as was necessary as
military governor. He refers to the
game of jai ALLAH and declares that the
gift accepted by Gen. Wood had no re-
lation whatever to any official action
of his, but was part of the expression
of gratitude of the Cuban people to-
ward the repres entative of the United
States. To have refused the gift would
have been discourteous and unjustifi-
able. The action of the customs Off
Gals in reference to the gift, the sec
rotary says, was strictly In accordance
with the law and official propriety.

the one he had on Friday morning. The
girl admitted that she pressed Pen

remember which he wore on either
occasion. She had not noticed Wheth-
er any of his trousers We're missing;
whether Pencil went to the furnace
Friday morning, or whether or not Mr.

Miss Romance did not notice any

probably will be called upon to tell

many of our people enter the spring
season with systems charged with
deadly impurities. The blood is foul

neuralgia and dyspepsia are daily tor

monkey was in a desperately bad tenn

snarled V1cfously when approached,

succeeded in looSening one of the Stats
which kept it imprisoned. and before
anyone was aware of the situation had
seized bunch of orders belonging to
the conductor, tearing them into mi
mute pieces and scattering them in ali
directions. The alarm was given and
the train crew made every effort to
coax the monk back into his craInped
quarters, but it was quite impossible
ito get him near the cage. He would
wait until his pursuers were close upon
him and then with a tremendous bound
go round or over them, taking up a
new position in another part of the car
and chattering vehemently.

seize the creature, which promptly bit

Arrested in Chicago.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, March Exchanged with
deserving his wife after his marriage,
George Allen, alias Edward Brandon,
was arrested today at 302 West Madi-
son street. 1t is alleged that Allen, as
he was known in Minneapolis, mar
rled Theresa Rhinehart on May IA,
1902, and deserted her the next day,
taking $500 belonging to her. Miss
Rhinehart ran a laundry in Minneapo-
lis and became acquainted with Allen
In that city. A few months ago she
learned that Allen was in Chicago and
she came here to look for him. The
search was fruitless. A week ago she
returned to Chicago and with the aid
of a detective bureau located him in
Madison street, where he is engaged in
the secondha furniture business.
On being arrested he gave the name
OF Brandon and denied ever having
seen the Minneapolis woman who
claims him as her husband. The DO
lice say they have information that
Allen married Miss Minnie Evans, of
Kenosha, after his alleged marriage to
Miss Rhinehart. In Kenosha he was
known as Edward Priestly He got
$500 from Miss Evans a few days after
the wedding, it is alleged, and then
