SCHLATTER, FAMOUS
DIVINE HEALER" HERE
THE SO-CALLED WILL PREACH
IN WATERTOWN MONDAY.
Will Lecture and Heal the Sick Free
of Charge-lS Looked Upon by
Some as Fdkir. But Claims to
Bear Credentials Showing That
He's the Genuine Article.

The world is full of eccentric
characters and perhaps there is no
place in the world where they flourish
as we'll as in the United States. 1t
seems to be the natural home and
most profitable abiding place of
fakirs of every type, for of very
truth the American people love to be
humbugged.
But this Schlatter, they say he is
not a fakir. There are thousands of
people throughout this and other
countries who honestly believe that
this long haired wanderer is endowed
with miraculous power to heal the
sick, cause the lame to walk, make
the blind see and even to raise the
dead. But there are thousands also
who do ot.believe anything Of the sort
and the Leader, in a way, is in that
class, notwithstanding the fact that
the healer with all due solemnity
told us point blank that he had risen
seven persons from the dead.
That's neither here nor there, how
ever. The only point of interest in
this matter is that he is here and
that people will no doubt be curious to
hear and see him and to find out what
manner of man he is. According to
his own story he is Scotchman, his
name being Rev. DR.. Charles Mclean.

claims heoausa e is regularly or

If THE ANCIENT VIOLIN
COULD SPEAK OF PAST
WOULD TELL OF MEMORIES OF
THE DAYS OF LONG AGO
Thought OCCdSiOned BY Seeing d
Relic of By-GOne Days in Second
Hand Dept. of Central Trading
CO. StOre-WOuld Tell of the JOY
Gus. Sad and Pathetic Things.

There are many old things around
which cluster memories that are often
joyous, sad and sometimes extremely
pathetic. Things, if they could talk =,
would tell of joy and sorrow, of
pleasure and pain, of the gay and gal
liant, and of the poor and forsaken.
These thoughts We're occasioned by
seeing an old violin in the second hand
department at the store of the Central
Trading company, West Main street.
1t is an old instrument and had seen
many years of service and no doubt,
had furnished the music to which hund-
reds of happy souls had kept time
with their feet in the mazes Of the
dance, and danced the hours away
thoughtless of time as they were
happy.
AS we looked upon the old instru-
ment, we could almost hear in memory,
those old familiar tunes which are now
but memory: Monte Musk, Opera
Reel, French Four, Tempest, Virginia
Reel, Mrs. McCloud Reel, Fireman S
dance, Etc and thought of the great
number who found exquisite joy in the
sweet strains from the old instrument
who are now either in the "sere and
yellow of life or are sleeping in the
silent city of the dead. And then,
the writer thought of the dire neces-
sity that compelled the owner to part
with his violin, which no doubt was
dear to him-a friend to cheer when
the heart was sad Poor fellow. 1t
must have been a great sacrifice, one,
that only hunger could force, which
was the pathetic side of the probable
history of the old fiddle. With the
violin is case, the cover and body
of which is dug out of two solid
pieces of wood which must have re-
quired days of patient and loving toll
indicative of the love the owner enter
tanned for his instrument. The violin
is worth seeing because of its age and
the memories awakened.

Making Old Potatoes New.

This is the way new potatoes are
manufactured in Paris: Old potatoes,
the cheapest and smallest that can be
purchased, are bought by the rafisto-
leurs de pommes de terre, as they are
called, who carry their property to the
banks of the Seine. Il good supply of
water being necessary. The potatoes
are put into tubs half filled with water:
then they are vigorously stirred about
by the feet and legs Of the manufac-
turers, who roll up their trousers and
stamp on the raw potatoes until they
have not only completely rubbed off
their dark skins, but have also given
them that smooth and satin-like ap-
pearance which is 50 much appreciated
by gormands. They are then dried,
neatly wrapped in paper and arranged
in small baskets, which are sold at the
marchands des comestibles for francs
apiece. The oldest part Of the whole
business is that the rafistOleurs make
no secret of their trace.
