Barrett Serves Notices.

P. A Barrett, special agent of the city
legal department, was busy yesterday serv.
ing notices on business men to clean the
snow of their sidewalks. With the tenn
perature a little higher than 1t had beer
for several weeks, the notices were hardly
needed, as most merchants were glad of the
opportunity to get their walks cleared. Al
general thing the snow is being shoveled
of roofs so that when a genuine thaw set
in the snow will all be on the ground and
the weight on roofs will be relieved.

A SPIRIT DOCTOR
Dead Five Hundred Years, Returned
and Cured a Case of Cancer.

Are there medical schools in the
Great Beyond? Do the spirits of dead
and gone physicians keep up to date
and a little ahead, on the progress of
the science here below? Do they oc-
casionally volunteer to show their
mundane confreres a few tricks?
These questions are prompted bv the
extraordinary story of a partnership
between Scotch doctor. dead over
500 years and prominent New York
physicians still alive the result of
which was a permanent cure of a.
malignant disease, with honors easy
for the ancient Scot.
The subject of this remarkable cure,
Scott Rowland, we'll known to the
members of the 1900 She is a Spirit
ualist. and enthusiastic over the DEM
onstrations of that cult.
The fact of her cure is corroborated
by her physicians, DR.. R. E. Townsend
of No. Is Central Park west. But DR..
Townsend disavows any conscious or
Intentional cooperation with the
Scotch physician who passed over
in ages gone.
Nine. Rowland thus told the story
of her cure from cancer yesterday.
For many years have had a spirit
doctor whom know by the name of
Burns, a Scotchman, who says he
passed over more than 500 years ago.
DR.. Burns has frequently impressed
me when I needed some remedy for
Sickness. MY nrSC nuSDanQ was a
Scotchman, which may account for his
interest in me.
"In July. 1899, while at my country
home on Long Island, 1 fell from a
bicycle, and the handle-bar struck me
in the left breast. In the spring of
1901 L went to DR.. Townsend for
treatment. He sent me to Dr. William
Todd Helmuth, an authority on can
cerous diseases. Dr. He1muth said I
was suffering from cancer, and that
the only chance I had was to undergo
an Immediate operation. I feared this
might prove fatal, and consulted the
late Ira Moore Coarlis, a noted me-
dunn and pastor of the Aurora Grata
Cathedral in Brooklyn.
HE gave me a sitting and through
him the old Scotch doctor, Burns, told
me that an operation in my case was
not necessary. He told me that must
be treated with static electricity to
strengthen my nervous system, and
with the application of the hand cleo
trically charged. He said that I would
be cured in three months
81 went to DR.. Townsend and asked
to be treated as the spirit doctor had
prescribed, although I did not tell him
at first the source of my instructions.
After a very short time the cancer be- |
gan to go down. At the end of each
month I communicated with the spirit
doctor and received further ipstruc-
lions. At the last sitting he told me
that an additional 10 days of treat

Shall the United States become, in
ex-Secreta-v Fosters expressive phrase,
the most backward of the nations in
the cause OF international peace?"
This is the vital question arising out
of the unfortunate difference between
the senate and the president in the mat
ter of the arbitration treaties. It is the
question which the country and the
world wait to see answered-and an
swered right.
The World has favored the ratifica-
ton of the treaties as drafted by John
Hay That is now impossible. The at
titude of men like Senators Lodge and
Spooner, in most cases the president
warm supporters. emphasizes the i'm
possibility Nor does Mr.. Roosevelt's
reported plan of appealing to the coun-
try in public speeches against the SEN
ate's position seem so practicable as it
did before the vote, and before such
comments on that vote as the World to-
and friends of peace.
The president and the senate can de-
vote their most arduous labor and their
best thought to no nobler or more
patriotic work than that of saving the
Hay treaties, in substance and in bene-
hcent purpose. by honorable compro-
mise of their conflicting views.
A bad arbitration treaty is at least
as rare as a good war''-and that is
rare indeed. The Hay treaties, a SPLEEN
did service to humanity, should in some
form that may prove acceptable to both
president and senate be saved in the
high name of peace.-New York World.

TWO TRACK FAVORITES
KNOW NOT OWNERS

Fairlight and Trovator, two track
favorites stood in bleak boxstall out
at Ascot park last night, wondering
who their owner is and where the next
peck of oats is coming from.
In suit filed in the superior court
yesterday, wherein A. f. Sachse is the
plaintiff and j. J. Ellert is the de-
fendant, the court is asked to deter
mine who Is the owner of the thor
oughbreds. In the meantime the "oat
munchers" will be compelled to bite
a few pickets off the fence unless some
one is kind enough to present them
with a few sacks of feed.
The plaintiff says he is the holder
of a chattel mortgage on eleven horses,
the mortgage having been executed by
p. ]. German and Isaac Bauer to j. r.
Costen.
1t is alleged that German and Bauer
sold Fairlight presumably to the de-
fendant in this action. 1t is also as
serted that they attempted to dispose
of the horse named Trovator. Suchse
asks the court to aid him in the re-
covery of Fairlight and for damages
in the sum of $780,
