Value Received

they thought of it all. Condensed that
opinion was: A great Fair and a
small crowd.
The crowd is really large. but it is
undoubtedly lost because of the big

all the time and the exposition that is
just about finished is getting ready to
TAX care of it.

The Filipino chief is a gentleman of
a dirty tic who drinks deep, sleeps

You may watch his sleep, but you may
not converse with the chief-who is a

Prince has a small foo and a high
instep that would grace a lady of

does not necessarily detract from dig

Prince lives in the awful isolation of
royalty. He will conduct no CONVERSE

In the patients ear. He heard and
promptly raised his hand. Then
the operator whispered In the other
ear. Again he heard and as promptly
raised the other hand. Mr. Hawley
had come upon the stage with a
cane. He could MT walk without
this support, neither could he get
his arms over hib head. He promptly
did so with ease. Then he walked
bach and forth on the stage and to
his seat in tile audience, leaving his
cane behind.
The next man treated said he also
was a great sufferer from rheuma-
tism in his back, hip and legs for
years. Said he had taken barrels of
medicine, but could get no relief. In
three minutes, he stated the pains
were gone and he felt like new man.
Mrs. lawson was so deaf she could
not hear when asked her name. She
also had terrible noises in the head :.
In a few minutes she was able to hear

Robert Witking was a deaf subject
who had ringing noises in the head
for years. In two minutes the
noises had ceased and he could hear

left their seats and spoke to Mr..
Wilkins in whisper, TO see IL he
really had been cured, and he
answered them readily.

age entered the military service OF the
mikado, and rose grade by grade from
the lower ranks, attaining in 1894 the
rank of lieutenant general. That was
the year of Japan's war with China,
and in that conflict Kuroki commend
ed the Sixth division of the invading
army. 1t is related that his divis-
ion had been scheduled TO be the last
one to be embarked for the invasion
of China, and that Kuroki chafed so
much over the inaCtlon that he fretted
himself Into a state of Illness. But inn

ished and he ioyously exclaimed:
"Ah, this makes mo well again"
From the very beginning of the war
with Russia, Kurogi halted the world s
attention by the display of his mill
tary skill. Then It was that people be-
gan to inquire more closely about this
warrior whose military genius shone
so resplendent Efforts were made to
trace his origin, and although the in.
quirers found little assistance from
the silent soldier, 1t was finally ascer-
tanned that he was of Polish origin A
nephew of the general, who was then
pursuing his studies in Europe, wrote
a letter in which he said that Kurokl's
father was a polish nobleman who had
fed from Russia after the revolution
of 1881. This nobleman, whose name
was Kourowski, first went to Paris,
afterward to Turkey later joining the
Holland troops in Borpeo. From Bor-
neo he went to Japan and there mar
ried a Japanese. From the union was
born Kuroki, who, because of the ma
tionallty of his father, was nicknamed
THE Pole"
1t is said that the general is very
proud of his Polish origin, and that he
has always cherished the dying wish
of his father that his son would some
day be able to take vengeance on the
Russians for their cruel treatment of
unhappy Poland,
Kuroki's genius for war was never
more conspicuous than In the great
turning movement dL Lldo-ydng' Wnen
Iiuropatkin threw the whole weight of
his army upon the angle held by Ku,

tary precedent, have destroyed his foe,
But Kuroh not onL held the enemy
at bay, but held then, long enough for

gAnk.
Kuroki's part in the last great bat,
lie, that of Mukden, was that OF a
fierce and vigorous attack upon the
very strong position that was held by
the Russian center, not with any hope
of carrying it, but in order to force
Kuropatkin to carry out the move
ment which ultimately led TO his de
suuction.

llsh Nobleman.

New York.--In was in 1884 that a
prince of Sweden, whose name history
does not reveal, visited japan as
guest of the nation. A graduate of the
military schools of Europe, the visitor
was reputed 20 be one of the leading
princes of his time in skill as a mill
tary strategist and tactician. There
was detailed as his escort quiet
spoken staff officer of the mikados
army a man with the teciturnity OF a
Grant and the face of a Sheridan AS
he was completing his visit the prince
turned 10 his escort and said:
81 thought | had learned all that
there was to know of tactics and
strategy, but you have shown me that
there was much more knowledge to be
obtained on military matters than can
be had in the schools of Europe. TAX
ing your schooling from us you have
greatly improved on everything that
we taught"
The staff officer to whom the prince
paid this high compliment was Gen.
Itel Kuroki, the now celebrated war
rior who commanded the First army
corps in the war with Russia and who
rendered such conspicuous service
that Field Marshal Oyama referred to
him as his "'strong right arm" Gen.
Kuroki is now in this country on a
mission to the jamestown exposition.

shoulders, elbows and hands were

troubles. In a short time she stamped
her feet ana declared she felt no
pain whatever and could see better
than she had in years.

give up business two years ago be-
cause OF his various Affections, and
that he had not been able to do a

itism and heart trouble were only a

vanished after a short treatment.
Several other cases were treated,

tions or testified by word the great

manifestations of healing afflicted
