Emmanuel movement on the fortunes
Of clergymen who have taken up the
new cure as an annex TO their conven- |
tionally defined spiritual responsible
tiles. It will be generally admitted
that the movement has made strong
appeal 10 general public judgment
largely as the result OF moderation in
stating its claims Unlike Christian
Science, whose devotees claim every
thing. Drs. McComb and Worcester
and their disciples explicitly limit
their field of action, by requiring med
ical diagnosis and by declining to I'M
dertake treatment of certain kinds of
cases.
The latter limitation was sharply
defined by Dr.. Worcester in an address
at ST. Georges Church. New York, on
Friday morning. outlined at some
length in the Buffalo Sunday News.
4 The address was largely devoted to
nervous disorders and an exposition
Of what is sought for people who are
born tired" and those with nervous
! systems disabled by the wear OF high
pitched American life The cure by
suggestion was explained on entirely
rational grounds and DR.. Worcester
especially expressed disbelief in sen
sational cures. THE invalid who

AN OLD STORY
OF FALSE TALE
TWO MEN FIGHT PISTOL DUEL
ONE DEAD AND OTHER NOR
TALLY WOUNDED.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. "a des-
yesterday afternoon in the rear room
d a Sansome street saloon between
Frank Cochran, an old gambler. and
Frank Bell, a young capitalist. When
six shots were exchanged. Cochran
stumbled out of the room and fell dead
in the bartenders arms. while Bell was
found probably mortally wounded ly-
ing under the table The men are sup
posed TO have fought because of Bells
alleged attention to the beautiful wife
of Cochran. Jesse Duryea, Belts chauf-
feur states that the two men met out
side of the saloon and decided to enter
the place and talk over their differ
ences. When they entered the room
Bell was heard to say: You put your
hands on the table and I'll do the
same" A second later the firing began.
Bell and Cochran are from Seattle.
Cochran ran a faro table in Juneau
and there Bell met the woman who
said she WdS~ Ella CocnFdH Later
Cochrane went to Goldfield and Mrs.
Cochrane came here. WheL he re-
turned TO Seattle and there heard the
story connecting Bells name with his
wife. Cochran came to San Francisco
to kill Bell AMI the effort resulted in
the death of himself. 1t is said that
Bells auto. was the attraction he nad
for the woman.
