money for the same service, which seems
reasonable enough. Mr.. FRANKIE says that only
five persons to the thousand, the world over,
possess the proper personal magnetism, or what
ever one IMMERSED in science cares to call IT, to
obtain results with the divining rod. ts
II you want water, why not give him trial!
There is nothing about the divining rod to hurt
you your property, and if Mr. FRANKIE doesn't
locate the fluid with it he won't stay for tea. q

This OUTPOST was entered, and woman, who

If the street on which she lived. She did not
know. and an argument was therefore at once
started among the customers, some maintaining
there was no such number, that it couldn't be
done and one man, particularly under the inhu-
ence of LIQUOR maintaining vehemently that 1880
was three and a half blocks away-no more.
Everybody laughed at this, but it was proved
bv the writer that this man, entirely through
accident. and because he gave no thought to
the matter, had, indeed, solved the problem. For
some reason unknown, the numbers jump from
Az TO 1885 without warning or advertisement,
and Frederick FRANKIE and his divining rods were
discovered little before dusk on the first day
out.
Mr.. FRANKIE is twenty-eight years old. He has
been in this country two years only, but speaks
the language spendidly He was born in flens-
burg near Kiel, Germany, and for six years be-
fore leaving his native land he spent most Of
his time in the study of the divining rod by max
ing hundreds of experiments.

A TREASURE.

Representative Henry, at Fourth of July pic
mic in Waco, said of an international marriage:
"The count, ugly and vicious, married the old
maid for her millions. What would George WASH
ington have said to such a match?
"A patriotic American remarked at the we'd
ding breakfast, as he shook the counts thin
hand:
az congratulate you, count congratulate
you
"And here he smiled significantly.

He was ready to offer as much as $4,000, but
he was afraid lest even this sum might not bring
results, as, if the street was absolutely unknown,
the offer of reward would merely act as a
stimulus to lot of Takers as was the case
when Charlie Ross reported found IN all
quarters Of the globe.
II was highly important that Woodbine ST.
should ultimately be located in Brooklyn, as that
was where it was last reported, and there was no
known reason for its seeking other parts Also'
in the newspaper business, things are wanted IN
a hurry and it was essential that the street
should be found, if possible, within twenty-four
hours, even if a considerably longer time had to
be consumed in finding ones way back.
When policeman, a streetcar conductor,
barkeeper and citizen who has lived on the
Brooklyn plains for thirty-fve years, have SIX
different opinions as TO the direction in which
the hunt should be further pursued 1t is small
comfort to the hunter to suggest, by his coun-
tenance and gestures, disappointment and cha
grin. The Brooklyn people seldom see any other
expression on the haggard faces Of explorers.
And the fact that when stranger speaks he does
so with feeling of pain leaves the populace of
Brooklyn unmoved
THE WOODBINE ST. DISCUSSION WITH PO-
LICEMEN.
During the early morning and afternoon Of
day last week the subject of the location OF
Woodbne ST., and how best to reach No. 1885
thereon was discussed in all its bearings. The
policeman at the Manhattan end of the Brookly1
Bridge was more than half inclined to consent to
the proposal of the writer that there was no 1885
Woodbne ST., while several other volunteers were
enthusiastic in proving its existence.
The writer at length gave his consent-the ex-
petition was agreed upon. He felt secretly
pleased at the bold and enterprisng character
thus exhibited in himself. His forebears had
been preachers with large families and salaries
of few hundred dollars year. But the kind OF
courage required to hunt for street in Brook
lyn-to subsist, if need be, upon the simplest food
plants and trees, roots and fruits-to find re-
sources where ignorant might starve, had
not been shown by any other member of the tribe.
Nearly two hours before sunset the writer
had halted in order TO give time to prepare the
night camp. Woodbine st. had been located and
No. ait reached. The required numeral was it
will be recalled, No. 19S5-sxty miles, approx
mately, to the north northeast. About half an
hour after the halt the little glade presented a
picture somewhat as follows: Near its edge
stood the most prominent thing in the land

Next, he placed sugar bowl the watch,

The experiment grasping the divining rod, another
trip over the watch made, with the same
resultant is, the rod jumped down. The writer
had no consciousness of having helped the rod
to act that way. Mr.. FRANKIE was so sincere that
he was white in the face from excitement, super
induced by the success of the experiments He
said he could not keep the rod from doing as it
did on such occasions, and the writer's opinion is
that Mr.. FRANKIE was telling the truth, so far as
he knew.
His object is to work up a business among prop
erty owners, who, for any reason whatever, wish
to locate water underground. He will charge

THE OWNING ROD AN INFALLIBLE INDI-
GATOR OF WATER.
Mr. FRANKIE insists that he could have done as
well if he had been bndfolded He says it is
utterly impossible for him to keep the divining
rod from rising and falling in his hands when he
is in the vicinity of subterranean streams Of
water
He uses an aluminium rod-most experiment
ers heretofore have used wood for the purpose
TO ascertain the depth of the water. In proper
ton to the degree to which the rod rises in his
hands will the depth of the water be. This he
has found by repeated experiments, under the
closest kind of scrutiny of persons who
not, at first, in sympathy with his claims but
who, he says, must agree later that he can per-
form everything he guarantees.
A meeting place for two rivers underground,
he says, is always place where the lightning
prefers to go down. If fire insurance companies
and farmers could but know these things, it
would save them lot of money.
With his iron divining rod Mr.. FRANKIE says
he can find out the width of such streams of
water merely by walking over the property,
carrying the rod in mis- two hands. AS soon as
the iron rod droops downward, it is ali indica-
ton to Mr.. FRANKIE that -water is beneath AS

COMPARATIVE MERITS OF BOOKKEEPING
AND OWNING ROD.

Within the last six weeks Mr.. FRANKIE has given
up a position as bookkeeper with an importing
house to devote all his time to his dvining rod
business, which he believes will, if the public can
be informed of his ability to locate water under
ground, develop into a much better proposition in
every way than be expected from lifetime
of keeping books
Mr.. FRANKIE is tremendously sincere. He gives
names and dates of his experiments. He solieits
the most extended sort of investigation by any
person who is genuinely interested in the divin-
ing rod as a means of finding water or minerals,
as he says is being done by himself and Ger.
man scientific society.

MARYSV|LLE YARDS
NOT To Be CLOSED,
DECLARE OFFICIALS
Rumors That Preference Business
Is to Be Handled Here,
Declared False

Widely circulated reports that the
Marysville preference freight yards of
the Pennsylvania Railroad on April i
were vigorously denied at the Phila-
delphia division headquarters to-day.
1t was admitted however that re-
trenchments are being considered
which may eventually effect the yards
at Marysville.
In the opinion of one official, speak
ing for Superintendent w. B. Nc
Caleb. who did not reach Harrisburg
from Philadelphia until late this after
noon, the closing of the Marysville
yards is almost an impossibility and
would not only necessitate a revision
of business now handled in the Har-
risburg and Enola yards. but would
require the running of trains through
the Pennsylvania Railroad Station
here, which is out of the question, be-
cause of the congestion now expert
enced. Abolition of the Marysville
yards would also require freight for
the South to be moved over the Cum
berland Valley Railroad bridge, and
would interfere with the work on the
proposed new. bridge which Is to be
started during the coming summer
plan is now under consideration
for the abandonment of the engine
house at Marysville, so that all en-
gines may be handled at Harrisburg
and Enola. This retrenchment. it is
believed, will save considerable eX-
pense each month. Nothing definitely
has been decided as to how the en-
gines will be looked after, but in view
of the fact that many engineers and
firemen running out of Marysville, re-
side in Harrisburg, motive power Off
cials are of the opinion that engines
can be cared for just as we'll In Har-
risburg as at Marysville. Under such
IA scheme instead of engineers going
to Marysville for their engines, they
will get them here and run to Marys-
vile.
