JOHN MOORADIAN

Chicago, May 27.-John Mooradan, alias Maracian, one of the men suspected of complicity in the murder of Father Kas- per and whose arrest the New York po- lice requested by telegraph this morning, was arrested late this afternoon in an Armenian boarding house in South En- glewood, where he has been living for several days.

COOL WEATHER FAILS
 TO KEEP THEM BACK
still Another Large Audience Attends Lecture and Entertainment of
 Colonel Dillingham;.

Notwithstanding the coolness of the weather another large audience gathered on the vacant Third avenue lot, opposite the Majestic theatre last night in att tendance on the lecture and entertain ment given by Col. Frank A. Dillingham;, manufacturer of the Plant Juice remedies, and his able corps of assistants.
 MT. A. A. Mills, who again lectured last night, treated principally on rheu- matism. This, he said. was caused by the uric acid in the blood, which, per- meating the system brought on the ter rible affIiction. Plant Juice, he said, thor oughly cleansed the blood of uric acid and all other impurities and made pure blood quicker than any disease could att tack it.
 Treating on the subject of female weak nesses, he claimed that the woman was stronger than man. This was shown by the fact that the American Indian placed all the drudging upon his squaw, while he laid back in idleness. In many of the European countries, too, the women were made to do all the work. This, then, proved that there was no such thing as feminine weakness, but rather a lack of muscular strength, caused by inaction and impure blood.
 The lectures and entertainments given by Colonel Dillingham; are becoming mora and more interesting to the people of Bir- mingham as is evidenced by the splendid audiences that attend them and the rap idly increasing sales.
 All day long one of the representatives of Colopel Dillingham; may be found at the headquarters established on the va cant Third aevnue lot, where they will be glad to talk over health matters with them and give such advice and assistance as may be in their power.
