PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 19.-The
destruction of cars, attacks upon non
union crews by mobs of several thous-
and strikers and sympathizers, tho
injury of number of women passen-
gers; frequent clashes with armed
policemen and the wounding of sew
eral Of the blue coats tonight, followed
the second strike of the Amalgamated
Carmens unions, employees of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company,
declared here this afternoon.
All the police and firemen of the
city have been drafted into service
and are armed for riot duty. 1t was
feared the outbreaks would become
more frequent later, when, aided by
darkness, the infuriated crowds can
descend upon the barns and power
houses of the company and attack
them without serious danger of be-
coming victims of the bullets of the
blue coats.
The walkout this afternoon was pre-
cipitated by the wholesale discharge
of union employees. Fl. o. Pratt, ma
tional organizer, and strike leader
declares that. since last night, more
than 600 union men have been dis.
missed without cause. other than that
\ they were union members.
4 Immediately after the order tc
strike had been issued by the ex
ecHtiFe committee Of the .Garmens
Il Union, the trolley men BEGAN desert
ing their cars. BY two O'Clock it was
stated by the union that 5000 out o.
the $500 employees of the company
! were on strike. Tonight the leaders
4 declare $500 are OFT. The officials
of the transit company declare bu'
800 men have deserted them. The,
| declare that tomorrow 1910 cars, ths
regular Sunday number, will be OF
the streets. The indications, how
ever, from the deserted tracks, ar.
that it will be difficult for the compan.
to live up to its statement.
The rioting, which exceeded ever
the worst which occurred during tn,
last strike began two hours after, th
strike was promulgated. In the mil
district where the sympathy for TIL
strikers is keen, more than 800
, men attacked the non-union men o
suburban trolley.
After bombarding the car wit
stones, the mob drove the crew fror
: the car, chasing them to police ste
, ton and then fired the car.
More than two hundred blue coat

A failing tiny nerve-no larger
than the finest silken thread-takes
from the Heart its impulse, its power,
its regularity. The Stomach also
has its hidden or inside nerve. 1t

was wrong to drug weak Stom-
ach, Heart or Kidneys. His pre-
scription-Dr. Shops Restorative
is directed straight for the cause
of these ailments-these weak and

Although the Great Teacher
healed all manner Of diseases, i is
a mistake TO suppose that this con-
stituted his mission as a whole or
one of it's important features. His
healings were performed with three
ends in view:
Cd To draw attention to his
message.
(2) To be illustrations of his
great work of the future when in
kingdom, power and glory he shall
heal all diseases, uplifting mankind
out of sin and death conditions
completely.
CD They were tests of the Mas
ter's own faithfulness to his Conse-
Grafton Vow. Throughout his heal
ing ministry he laid down his life,
so that after three and half years
of ministry, the Perfect One had so
exhausted his vitality that he could
not carry his own cross, as could
the thieves who accompanied him.
His great sacrifice was thus partial
ly laid down before he reached Cal
vary, where it was finished
Thus our Lords miracles were per-
formed, as the prophet declares, at
his own expense, his own sacrifice
Himself took orr infrmities and
bare our diseases" Every miracle
healing to a proportionate extent
decreased the Lords vitality. So
we read, Virtue VITALITY went out
of him and healed them all. Luke
GIG.
Leprosy, very prevalent in the
West, is used in the Scriptures SYM
bolically to represent sin, and the
cleansing of it to represent purlfi-
cation from sin. 1t was classed as
incurable and hence our Lords cur
ing it demonstrated his supernatural
power, In the case under consider
alton, as in others, Jesus directed
that the miracle be not specially
blazoned forth amongst the people;
for so doing would tend to make
him too popular, as in some cases
it led to demand that he should be
recognized as King. But he did dl-
rect that the miracle be duly report
ed to the High lest. This was
the demand of the Law. And fur
thermore Jesus wished that his mir
acles should be testimony unto
them''-unto those who sat in Mo-
ses' seat as the rulers of the people,
and who would ultimately pass
sentence upon him. They must at
least know of his miracles.
Not much religion might be ex-
pected from Roman soldiers, yet
our Lord testified of the one whose
servant he healed that his faith was
greater than any he had found
amongst the Israelites. He entreat-
ed favor for his servant, and when
our Lord promised to go to his
house to heal him, the centurion
manifested wonderful faith when he
answered the Lord that visit was
entirely unnecessary, that he would
be fully satisfied if he spoke the
word of healing. Jesus dismissed
the centurion saying, go thy way;
and as thou hast believed, SO be It
done unto thee" A1d his servant
was healed.
There is lesson for US in these
words-our Lords ability was un-
limited. And his blessings to us
