Osteopathy and Christian Science.
Osteopathy Is one of the newer pathies,
and this was sampled by Mr.. Lent with
out chloroform. Loosen up the vertebrate
and remove the pressure on nerves and
things, and the subject should become
gracefully eelly. "Osteopathc literature
carries the conviction that the skeleton
of the mastodon could be covered with
flesh by few months treatment, and
enabled to roam again Given a back
bone to rattle, and the osteopath can res
tore anything, except money. One takes
three weeks of osteopathy and spends
two weeks in bed to recover from It. The
osteopath has failed to soothe. He has
increased the irihamations at every point
and started up some new ones" Nor did
the stomach specialist bring the expected
relief, nor the animal magnetizer, nor
the orthopedic surgeon. Nor the man
with a penetratlve unguent.
Mr.. Lent is less humorous and more ar
gumentative when treating upon Chris
ttan Science and homeopathy. He does
not scornfully ridicule these systems, but
he asks many pertinent questions about
them that Mrs Eddy and the disciples of
Iahnemann will have trouble to answer,
al least to his satisfaction. Especially
is he unable to discover the medical val
ue of those dlutions, made after the
Hahnemann formulas. which alternate
each medicine until it represents a sin
gle drop of drug In a body of water
larger than any of the planets. There
is something selfish about this rheumatic
but his attitude toward those who are
doing him good will find admirers.

dered drinks for everybody. and they
were served.
At Guys hotel there was a different
scene. Mrs. Bauer was hanging on her
husbands neck and consoling him for
the loss Of the match, which included
the heavyweight championship.
Professor William Miller was in
those days invincible. He beat Dun
can Ross in an endurance match at
walking at the Academy of Music. He
defeated all corners in wrestling, was
an adept at boxing and withal held the
respect and admiration of all who saw
him perform.
When the late Captain Cassell sup
erintendent of Druid Hill park, was in
his prime he had a gang Of stalwart
workmen grubbing small trees. Will
liam Miller was in the park training
for wrestling match. He saw the
men with picks and shovels, and in his
easy sort of way asked Captain Cassell
why he did not have the men pull the
trees up root and branch Captain
Cassell said they could not and asked
him II he could. He said het bought he
could, and went down the line, grasp
ing small tree in each hand, and
pulling them up, roots and all.
Miller. as a boxer. beat Flood in
Australia. Flood was the man who
gave John L. Sullivan his great fight
on barge outside of New York.
After Miller had taught William
Muldoon to wrestle and the latter had
gained the championship title Muldoon
belittled Miller, and the result was a
glove fight held at Kernan's Monu-
mental theater. Miller made Muldoon
quit in seven rounds. Miller held the
championship as Graeco- Roman wrest-
Ter until he had an ankle broken. After
this he was defeated by Joe Acton Of
Philadelphia, and later he went to Mel
bourne, Australia.

Mr. Miller lived for a few years in

Professor Miller is big fellow. He

On the proposition Of how much

numbers of coins were placed in bags

Is $1,000, which weighs 1872 pounds.
