SO-CALLFD DIVINE HEALER
REACHES WASHINGTON.

The divine healer has come to town,
the same man, 1t Is said, who caused con-
siderable commotion in Denver and other
western cities a few years ago. Many have
seen him on the streets since his arrival
wearing a robe Of purple blue, and
a cap or inter Of the same color,
with cross dangling from his chain and
wearing another on the cap. Otherwise his
dress is humble enough.
His face is olive-colored, the expression
seemingly frank, his eyes clear and his
hair and beard a profuse shower Of a color
made familiar in certain holy pictures.
This is the divine healer Schrader as
he has revealed himself in Washington. He
wears his rchly-colored, but otherwise I'M
pretentious garb on all public occasions-in
fact. all the time, he says. This is the Gus
tom of all the high officers of his church,
he adds.
The divine healer" does not say that he
is healing now, nor does he make any
comment upon his reported past or possible
future 'healings' of the Denver variety.
eI am here to see about the erection of a
church building in Washington" he said,
quietly enough, at his rooms, 343 Penn
sylvania avenue, this afternoon. I'VE have
about 200 communicates here and we hope
for gains. They now meet from house to

"Oh, | am pope, the head of It,"
who are the leaders of your denomina-

ENGINEER THOMPSON SAYS AL.
DER STREET LINE SHOULD
BE BUILT.

At meeting yesterday afternoon
between Engineer Thompson of Seat
tie and the water committee of the
CITY council to close the contract be-
tween the city and the National Wood
Pipe company, recommendation was
made by Mr.. Thompson that the water
main on Alder, which now extends only
to- the old reservoir, be extended to
the main line, intersecting with the
main running down Isaacs avenue.
This would take 5000 feet of 16 inch
kalamine pipe and would cost between
$4,000 and $4,000. No action was
taken on the recommendation. The
CUES ton of expense will enter largely
into. this matter and it is doubtful, in
the minds of many of the council,
whether it is best to incur this heavy
expense at present.

scured only on the average of one dav

hundredths of an inch of rain is al
that may be expected if the year IS
