TWAIN SEES "LINCOLN''
Noted Humorist Pleased With Cha
pins Presentation of Beloved and
Martyred President.
(By One of the Party.)

, August Belmont, Samuel L. Glen
ems Mark Twain, Clarence H
Mackay, Robert Collier and other
members of the executive committee
of the Lincoln Farm association
were holding a session when the pro
posal was made that they attend
Benjamin Chapin's four act charac-
ter play, "Lincoln," then running
for the first time in New York at the
Liberty Theatre.
This group of men dined together
before the play. When it came time
to attend the performance, Mark
Twain refused to 60 His friends
urged, but he was obdurate. General
Horace Porter, formerly ambassador
to France, and a friend of Mr.. Lin
coin s, and Mr. William Dean How
ellis, the novelist joined the party,
and Mark Twain finally went with
the others, but went reluctantly, de-
claring that he did not want some
young buck in stage costume and
makeup to muss up his own mental
picture and memory of Lincoln.
When the curtain went up on the
first act he sat far back in the box
but in a few minutes he came for
ward and was soon lost in the play.
After the third act he asked to be
taken back upon the stage that he
might meet Mr.. Chaplin and, behind
the scenes, as if he could not shake
off the illusion that it was the real
living Lincoln, he addressed Mr.. Cha
pain as Lincoln: ~ am very glad
to meet you again, Mr.. President.
You haven't changed much in all
these years"
On leaving the theatre that even
ing he walked slowly down the aisle
with the writer of this account, who
had dined with the party and heard
Mark Twain's opposition to going),
and he made this comment: ~

thought Of Lincoln unmarried by any

to introduce His Methods.

Diseases of the Intestinal Tract
& depend mainly upon three causes
; Germ-lnfection, Loss of Muscular
Z Power in the Intestines, and Impair
5 ed Nervous Force regulating the Sc
cretions.
In germ infections we usually have
dlarrhOea, often even alterations in
5 the bowels.
The electric current of very high
voltage and alienation generates so
much ozone in the intestinal tract
that the disease germs are quickly
killed. In cases where these germs
have already infested the blood. DR..
Toel often uses inhalations of ozone
} generated by these currents and pass
ed through certain chemicals so as
, to make it possible to inhale them
into the lungs without irritation. The
modified ozone is quickly taken up bv
the blood in the lungs and passing
entirely through the body kills dis
ease germs wherever the blood or its
serum has access to.
In cases of loss of power of the
muscles of the intestines the secre-
ton OF the large glands are not prop
erly expelled, the food in the stom-
ach is not properly mixed with the
juices and in the intestines the re-
mains of the food are not properly
expelled.
In cases of inactivity of the liver
where the gall is not properly ey-
PEELED into the bowel. electric eur-
rents of different kinds are of the
greatest Importance. By bringing
about a contraction Of the muscular
substance of the liver they accelerate
the flow of gall and will even some
times expell small gall stones.

proper electric currents brings about
