the silvi:riti: docs not aipiiovu EX-SPCAKEIl IlECD'S FLAN. lrofoetl Change in the InterwlateCommrrcf Act State Dank 11111 ' Discussed In the House. WASHINGTON. June 1. Representative Thomas B. Heed's interview in the FortSlightly lieview, of London, advocating a freer use of 'silver, has attracted much attention In congressional circles. The plan suggested by him for an agreement among nations to use silver and fix discriminating tariff rates against countries not using silver, has been specially open to comment. "What! Reed for free silver?" said Representative Bland, of Missouri, the silver leader, .when told of Mr. Reed's Fort-' nightly article. Then Mr. Bland laughed heartily and read the article. "Mr. Reed concedes our arguments," said Mr. Bland, "but he offers us a remedy which we will not have. The great agricultural classes who are behind silver will never consent to a war tariff which will close the markets of Euro;e to our agricultural products. That would be the effect of Mr. Reed's proposition. There Is no need of uniting the tariff and silver questions. They are wholly. independent. If the United States will coin silver It will force England and other foreign countries to recognize silver without threatening them with discriminating tariff duties. They must sell us their goods and If we insin on offering them silver it will soon become their. Interest to make silver valuable. We must accomplish the end at home and not adopt Mr. Reed's plan of olnc abroad and securing free silver by threats of high tariff. It is probable that his main desire Is not so much to aid silver but to establish higher protective duties against European countries." Mr. Bland was asked if the silver element of the West and Northwest would accent Mr. Reed's views as a gain to thesilver cause. "They will not." said Mr. Bland. "We are not asking Mr. Reed to admit arguments but to admit our solution. Instead of that he admits all we have claimed as to a larje use of silver and yet he manufactures a silver tariff solution we will never accept." Representative Burrows said: "Mr. Reed's article Is " very timely. There has been much misrepresentation as to the attitude Df the Republicans on silver. They are not for gold alone, nor for silver alone, but for both gold and silver. The only question Is how to secure that free use of both metals. If It can be accomplished by mutual co-operation among nations, with a defensive tariff alliance against nonsilveruslng nations, that may be the best solution." . Mr. Burrows was asked if such tariff reciprocity among silver-using countries would be a. surrender of -ue protective doctrine. "By no means," S3ld he. "A fair measure "of protection to American industries wculd be maintained even with those countries using silver, and there would be added protection against nonsilver-uslng countries." Representative Tracey, of New York, the Democratic anti-silver leader, voiced the views of that element. "Mr. Reed's plan Is wholly Impracticable," said he. "There is no economic connection between tariff and silver. If England does not want silver she cannot be made to want it by threatening her with discriminating tariff rates. Mr. Reed might as well have proposed to force England to use silver by sending rioters among her people. Ills plan amounts to a threat of giving England trouble if she does not accept silver. The proposition is a novelty, but nothing more." Representative C. W. Stone, of Pennsylvania, a leading Republican of the coinage committee, voiced the caution prevailing Rmon; many Republicans as to accepting the new departure suggested by Mr. Reed. Mr. Stone said there would be little division on his side as to Mr. Reed's first proposition of uniting the nations for a freer use of silver. But he was not ready to admit that such a union was worth having If it cost a surrender to reciprocity or other steps destructive to the protection of American Industry. TO PERMIT POOLING. Propoaetl Chnnsea In the InterstateCommerce Act. WASHINGTON. June 1. After an Investigation of the subject of railroad pooling extending through all of this Congress, the House committee on commerce ha3 reported the bill, of which Representative Patterson, of Tennessee, is the author, to radically modify the anti-pooling section of. the interstate-commerce act. The proposed system, which permits pooling under certain restrictions ;jid under the supervision of the Interstate-commerce Commission has the support of a majority of the commissioners as well . as Of prominent railroad men who know of its provisions. An amended law on the lines laid down by Representative Patterson was favored by resolutions at the recent convention of State railroad commissioners held In Washington. The report from, the committee has been submitted to the House by Mr. Patterson, It states there has been shown a consensus of opinion on the part of the commissioners and interstate commission to . permit competing roads to enter into contracts for a division of their gross earnings under safeguards and restrictions. While many railroads are in the hands or receivers and others threatened with insolvency, it is held that if the companies were receiving the published rate approved by the Interstate-commerce Commission, they would be comparatively prosperous. By rebate, drawbacks and other devices . the large shippers are reimbursed, while the small shippers are required to pay th published rates. Thus, it is held, the railroads are Impoverished, the pubii? Injured, and destruction of small enterprises and discouragement of individual efforts brought about. A system by which competing railroads may divide their earnings, says the report, would remove the motive for discrimination so that large or small shippers would fare alike. Passenger and freight rates are shown to be lower in the United States than In any other country; 33 per cent, below those of Great Britain, with even greater disparity between this country and continental European nations. Extortion by pooling contracts is held to be a danger to be avoided, and Mr. Pattereon argues that natural causes exert a powerful influence to make rates reasonable by competition between localities, between systems of railroads not party to the contracts and with rivers, lakes, canals and coastwise currents of commerce. The report shows that the bill Materially enlarges the Jurisdiction anrt powers of the Interstate-commerce Com mission, ir tna commission determines that a contract results in discrimination or violation of the law It Is clothed with jover to disapprove, whereupon the con- ' true ceases to be lawful or enforrmr.i and vhe parties are relegate! to the law 3 it is now and required to observe It. Fron en order disapproving a contract an riprraJ lies to a. United States cm mitt Or.rt and to the Supreme Court, but the practical effect of the bill was to rrtar. tba contracts under the control of the commission with the aprroval of the Su preme. Court. While appeals are pending cvniraciw are uniawrui and unenrorceible. This bill makes shippers also punishable for frauds against the companies by means of false bills or otherwise, while corporations Instead of their officers or . agents are to be punished for infractions of the law by means of drawback! or otherwise made by their agents whether authorized by the companies or not. Violations of the law are made punishable by fines not exceeding $3,000 for each offense. Contracts or ajirreementa between the railroads mut be fid with the commission and rmde Awarded Highest

public records, to be competent evidence in Judicial proceedings. Procedure under the bill is materially changed. Circuit Courts are required to give cases from the commission precedence over all others and the Supreme Court to advance them as it does caes in which the government is u party. All evidence taken before the commission Is to be filed as evidence for the court, and if more evidence Is needed It Is to bo taken by the commission. In this way the court decides on the exact case certified. ' STATE BAXIv HILL.
Repeal of the Tax Advocated by Sonlhrrn Representatives. WASHINGTON, June 1. The House passed to-day the Senate resolution directing the Secretary of War to transmit to the Senate reports of any surveys or estimates for the construction of locks or dams In the Mississippi river between the C, St. P. & M. bridge and the falls of St. Anthony which he might have in his possession. The Senate bill providing for the carrying out of the award of the Paris tribunal of arbitration for the protection of seate in Bering sea was passed. Mr. Gear secured the passage of a bill for the relief of A. P. II. Stewart. A resolution directing the President to give six months' notice to the Russian gov ernment of the abrogation of the last treaty between the two countries was un der the rules sent to the committee on foreign affairs. " - - The House then went into committee of the whole to consider the Brawley State bank-bill. -Mr. Broslus first addressed the House. He defended the present national banking system and deprecated a return to the obnoxious and unstable State bank system, which had proved so detrimental to certain sections or the country, notaDiy the South and West. Mr. Swanson advocated the issue of State bank notes. Mr. Henderson, of Illinois, defended the existing national banking system, and recalled the events of the panics of past years under the State bank regimes. The next advocate of the repeal of the existing laws against State banks was Mr. Tucker, who took the ground that any tax laid not for the purpose of raising revenue, but to "kill" off an Industry, was an improper law. Mr. Izlar, the successor in the House of Mr. Brawley. the author of the bill, argued In favor. of State bank Issues. At 5 o'clock the committee rose, and a recess was taken until 8 p. m., the evening session to be for private pension bills. JUDGE WAUGIPS WORK. Some of the Meusures He Has. Introduced In the Ilouae. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. June 1. Judge Waugh has Introduced in the House a number of blll3 and petitions,1 among which are the following- most Important: A bill to repeal the act by which Col. Fred Alnsworth, the present chief of the Bureau of Records and Pensions of the War Department, is given the rank of a colonel in the regular army. It Is understood that there Is now a proposition, on foot to make Colonel Alnsworth a brigadier-general, and Judge Waugh will contest any such scheme. A bill granting a pension to Jacob Cruse, Company H., One-hundred-and-flfty-fourth Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, an Insane person, of Carmel. Ind.; also, a petition signed by twenty-four citizens of Hamilton county, Indiana, for the passage of that bill. A bill granting a pension to Ella Buchanan, a helpless epileptic child of John R. Buchanan, deceased, a soldier of Company C, Thirteenth Iowa Volunteers, of Neosho, Kan. A petition signed by forty-eight citizens of Lafayette, ind., for the passage of the bill for the recognition of the service of those engaged in the military telegraph service during the war. These appear to be meritorious measures, and will doubtless receive an early ooi sideration. Judge Waugh has devoted the most of his time recently to his committee work and In the consideration of contested election cases pending before the committee on elections, of which he is a member. He Is one of the active new members of the House, and has made many friends during his brief servioe. ,111s retirement will be a cause of regret to his party associates. He will vote against the . revival of the old wild-cat banking system. ' . .TREASURY STATEMENT. Slight Increase in the Public Debt ) The Gold Ileaerve. WASHINGTON, June 1.

G0THAMITES PROTEST XEW YORK BUSINESS ME.V ARE OPPOSED TO THE IXC03IE TAX. Meeting; at Which a Letter from Senator Hill Wan Read Ills WellKnown View Reiterated. NEW YORK, June 1. The business men's meeting in Carnegie Music Hall this evening, to protest against the income-tax feature of the proposed new tariff bill, was notable for the character of the audience and enthusiasm of those who attended. The call was signed by nearly five hundred representatives of the largest business Interests of the city. The platform was crowded with gentlemen influential in the business walks of life. Preparations had been made to accommodate the crowds that had been exiected, sj?akers having been selected to address an overflowing meeting, should . the hall prove of . insutFlcient capacity, but the expected crowd did not appear. The speaking, which was to begin at 8 o'clock, was delayed for half an hour. At that time the auditorium contained about one thousand people. Col. William L. Strong, president of the Central National Bank, called the meeting to order and nominated the chairman of the evening. President Evan Thomas, of the Produce Exchange, and for secretary Edward O. Dwyer, of the Democratic club. These were chosen. Senator Hill wrote from Washington: "I regret that official engagements here will prevent my acceptance of your courteous invitation to be present at the meeting of the business men of New York on Friday evening to protest against the Incorporation of an Income tax In the pending tariff bill. I need hardly assure you that I am heartily In sympathy with the purpose of your meeting. An income 'tax feature has no proper legitimate place in a tariff reform bill. It engenders and embarrasses an honest and equitable revision of our tariff laws, which was expected, if not deslred.by fhe citl7ens of all parties. The unfortunate effect to incorporate It In the pending measure has delayed speedy disposition of the tariff subject and Induced a surrender of nearly every correct and consistent principle upon which a tariff reform measure should be based. It is clear that it would not be adopted by Congress If Senators would vote according to their conscientious convictions, rather than in pursuance of a dicker and a contemptible compromise founded upon no principle, and tolerated only as a miserable makeshift or excused only as a temporary expedient. I am opposed to compromises where questions of essential principles are Involved. It Is immaterial whether this scheme Is popular or unpopular; or whether it taxes the many for the benefit of a few, or" a few for the benefit of the many, it Is equally Indefensible, vicious and unreasonable. As a representative, a citizen and partisan, I have opposed this Income tax fully from the start. I am opposing it now, and I shall continue my opposition to the end." Speeches were also made by President Waldo Smith, of the Wholesale Grocers' Association; Prof. T. Lewis in behalf of the insurance companies; Louis Windmuller, of the Reform Club; Frederick Taylor in behalf of the bankers and brokers of Wall street; lawyer Simon Stern, John P. Townsend,- of the Bowery Savings Bank; Chairman Evan Thomas and others, all in a vein of earnest opposition to the Income tax. Irt addition to the resolution drawn up several days ago memorallzlng Congress against the Income tax provision of the pending tariff bill, the following was adooted : "Resolved. That we call upon all the business associations and organizations of the several cities of the Union to organize without delay by mass meetings similar to our own to voice the protest of the great commercial interests affected, so Injuriously, by the proposed Income tax law." Secretary O. Dwyer said he had letters and telegrams from business men and corporations all over the country. aSBSMSBBBBSSsaSBBaBBBSSaBBBBSSBBBBBSBSJBBMHSasaSBSBBaSt UNUSUAL DAMAGE SUITS.

ill AX HjIMJ XJJLlJ OXXlliViJ PLAN FOR SPEEDY SETTLEMENT OP TIID COAL MINCIIS TIIOUDLES. Operators and Employes In Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania May Iteneh an Agreement. Special to the Indianapolis Journal." TERRB HAUTE, Ind., June L There Is a good prospect of a settlement of the strike in the three States Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania In the next ten days, leaving- Illinois to be worked upon at a later time. The plan Is the sensible and expedient one for the leaders of the United Mine Workers to pursue, because If It Is not there Is danger of the organization wrecking: itself In a prolonged strike. It may be expected that In a few days there will be a call for a meeting of .representatives of both sides. The Indiana people are vexed wit'i the Illinois operators for not entering Into an agreement regardless of the action, of the Consolidated Coal Company, holding that they could do so and with profit In their business. All the'inlluence of the railroad companies was thrown in behalf of a settlement, and it is understood that New York holdings in the Wabash railway, along which most of the Consolidated company's mines are located, was brought to bear on that company to Influence It to take part in the Springfield conference. To-night President McUride issued a call for a meeting of the district presidents of the United Mine Workers at Columbus, for next Tuesday. Strike Leaders Will Confer. COLUMBUS, O., June L Officers of the United Mine Workers of America will hold a consultation here next Tuesday on the coal situation. John McBride returned today from Springfield, I1L The Norfolk & Western road, having complained that the miners at Wellston and Coalton, O., threatened to stop moving coal trains from Virginia, Mr. McBride telegraphed to his lleuinnint Tnahna- Thimas! "Tt rnrt prl here your men Intend to stop coal shipments over Norfolk & Western railroad ana wm destroy property If other means fail. Do not allow such work." Mr. McBride says the whole situation hinges on one company in Illinois, the Consolidated Coal Company, alias the Wabasti railroad, which controls eighty-one mines, or one-fourth of 'the output of Illinois. AT CRIPPLE CHEEK. Strikers Still Guarding Their Moun tain Stronghold. CRIPPLE CREEK, Col., June I. Abso lute quiet reigns throughout the mines and the camp to-night. Not a deputy has put in an appearance. The strikers, however, have redoubled their vigilance In guarding their stronghold on Bull hill. At Altman the strictest military rule Is enforced. The opinion Is held generally that the strikers have lost slht of any effect Governor Waite s visit may have had and intend to fight. Considerable excitement was created to-day by the appearance of six armed strikers, the first to come armed into the city, and the subsequent shooting of ld. Smith, a drunken railroad employe, by a policeman. Smith will ale. Mimt Rely on Slate Milltln. WASHINGTON. June 1. If the Colorado people rely upon the national government to use its military .foroes against the Cripple Creek strikers without application In due form from the Governor or Legisla ture, they will be sorely disappointed. Al though, no applications for federal intervention have yet come to the War Depart ment. the7 will be absolutely without re sult if they do come. The reason, as ex plained by the War Department, is that there is no authority to be found in law for federal action. The issues involved are regarded as purely State and not na tional in their preant aspect. The suggestion that the .national govern ment might Intervene, beiween Walte and the sheriff's forces under cover of Section Revised Statutes, was soon disposed of. That statute was framed in re construction days to permit the national srovernment to go into a State and protect any of Its citizens when they were denied protection by their own State officers. It was embodied in the army regulations, but in the first case that arose the courts held that the act was unconstitutional, and so it is of no avail at present. The opinion nrcvajis in the War Department that if Goven.or waite violates the law he can and will be restrained by the State judiciary, and they are looking for some such termination of the present difficulties. This may be done bv a restraining ordr. or. pa has rx?n intimated In private advices from Colorado received here by a very high official, by proceedings in court, that if successful would result In the Lelutenant Governor succeeding s to ; the chief office in the State. Of course, in case of threatened disturbance at Denver the people would be amply protected by the presence of 'the military, regardless of any action of the Governor, for thereMs sufficient war rant for the use of troops to protect United States property, and this would involve the maintenance of good order. ILLINOIS OPERATORS. Why Consolidated Company Officials Ilefaaetl to Attend the Conference. ST. LOUIS, June 1. The charge made at the Springfield coal conference, yesterday. that President Ridgely, of the Consolidated company, by refusing to attend the con ference himself or allow his company to be represented, and by inducing other central and southern Illinois mine operators to remain away, had made any settlement im possible, principally because the Consollnatea is owned by the itusseil Sage and Gould interests, who. It was alleged, have determined to take ndvantage of the present situation to force their mine em ployes down to the lowest possible scale or wages, Is denied here by the officers of the company, who state positively that the enly reason for the action of the Coisoildated company's officials is a determination to settle with their own men, and not with outsiders, now managing the strike. It is also denied that Gould and Sage own the company or that any members induced other operators to not attend the conference. Seven Carloads of XonunlontstM. SCOTTDALE. Pa., June 1. Seven car loads of nonunion men were brought into the region by special train to-day. There were 63 men in all, and principally colored men from West Virginia.

LOUIS IS ITS FLATBOATS. ' ' Speed Followers Not Yet. Ready to Start for WashingtonSeveral Drownings Reported. ST. LOUIS, June 1. "General" Kelly and his navy have left St. Louis, but only after a lively scrimmage with Colonel Speed's seceders. Kelly stole a mc.-ch before daylight on Speed by secretly putting all the rations on board the commissary boat un der guard. When the army left Iowa it had 140 boats. Kelly had the advantage cf numbers this morning,; and as the" Speed men refused to vacate their boats about one hundred were carried off. They acted peaceably enough until they reached midstream, when .they cut loose with sixteen boats and made for the Illinois shore, carrying about fifty Kellyites with them. -They landed somewhere near East St. Louis and told the Kellyites to clear out. They did, but succeeded in getting across to Missouri to Join their commander. Colonel -Speed succeeded in holding twelve other boats, and, as Kelly's forces have been recruited about two hundred men since he landed here, he was not able to get all bis force on board. So he remained behind and marched down Broadway to Carondelet, where he rejoined the naval forces. The navy dropped slowly down the river to Nagle avenue, where .they landed to -cook breakfast. Colonel Speed remained at tae camp with part of his men, and will depart later, going overland and selling his .boats on the east side, if possible. Just alter Kelly's departure Marshal McCambrldge, of Madison,, appeared with a warrant for his arrest, sworn out by Patrick P. Holdeman, who alleges that Kelly attempted to shoot him near Alton a week ago. Kelly has not since touched Illinois territory, but Holdeman will puwue him as long as his tleet is on waters touching Illinois shores. As Kelly's boats were putting out Into the river a skiff capsized, and John Becker, of Omaha, was drowned. A message received this evening from Jefferson barracks, about ten miles down the river, stated that while off that place one of the boats turned over, throwing thirty-eight men into the water. Two are known to have been drowned, and it is said two others are missing. The fleet passed Sulphur Springs this evening. .... Arts's Army Must Walk. TOPEKA, Kan., June L Ex-Adjutant-general Artz and his army of fifty commonwealers attempted to get out of : Topeka last night by boarding an east-bound freight train on the Santa Fe. The railroad employes refused to move the train, and finally drove them off. Artz said his men would be compelled to walk as far as Lawrence at least. THE PULLMAN STRIKE. Unsuccessful Attempt to Settle It by Arbitration The Next Move. CHICAGO, June l.The attempts to effect a settlement of the Pullman , strike have been unsuccessful, Mr. Pullman It is announced tb-.ay, having made no sign of meeting the attempt at arbitration. 'The strikers say they expected no result, but wished to put the company on record as refusing to arbitrate. The American Railway Union now claims to be ready to put screws on Mr. Pullman. The much-talked-of order to railway men to stop handling hla cars, from present indications, may be Issued by the union in a day or so. This is chosen as the starting point merely, the strikers claim. The condition of the men at Pullman is serious. Four hundred families applied for relief yesterday. . The chief officers of the American Railway Union met informs lly to-day to discuss the status of the Pullman strike. The meeting resulted in nothing looking to the American Railway Union taking at once an active part In the strike. It developed the fact, however, that the American Railway Union proposes to. stand by the Pullman strikers to the end. But it is probable that no action will be taken until the meeting of the union which will be held In Chicago June 12. President Debs said that the union would take no steps against the Pullman Company until every other resource had been exhausted. Tlie Appeal from Jenkins Order. CHICAGO, June l.The United States Court of Appeals decided to-day that the appeal of the labor organization from Judge Jenkins's order forbidding them to quit work on the Northern Pacific railroad will not go direct to the United States Supreme Court, as was suggested by counsel for the company's receivers to the United States Court of AppeaU yesterday. After think-' lng It over. Judges Harlan, Woods and Bunn decided they would not certify the record In the case to the Supreme Court, but would hear oral arguments on the appeal themselves, and also concluded to set the case peremptorily for argument next Monday. The decision was announced this afternoon by Justice Harlan. It Is probable that ex-Senator J. C. Spooner and the other counsel for the railroad company will refuse to make argumenis before the Court of Appeals, and will Insist on the motion made by Mr. Miller yesterday that the cases be stricken from the dockets beexuse of noncompliance with the rules of the court regarding the time of filing the record In the appeal. Counsel for the men will consent to argue the case, and will b" ref.dy to proceed with their speeches Monday. Imported Material Boycotted. NEW YORK. June L The building tradesconference, comprising two-thirds of the building trades unions in this city, notified architects and contractors, to-day, that a boycott had been placed on all imported building materials made by foreign workmen employed by Americans. Prison-made wood carving work, ornamental mosaic and tilea are also boycotted. Should architects and contractors persist in using the classes of material declared to be boycotted, an appeal is to be made to organized labor throughout the State to vote nxt fall only for legislators who will urge the passage of laws to prohibit the Importation cf such obnoxious materials. An arrangement committee has been appointed wlta
power to order a general strike If it seems advisable. A TRUE SOUTHERNER
GOV. TILLMAX AGAIX SAYS HE WOULD LEAD A MOB OP LYXCIIEIIS. Under Certnln Conditions the Sonth Carolina Executive Thinks White or Dlaclc Should De Straus Vp COLUMBIA. & C June L In reply to Rev. J. J. Hall, of Norfolk, who writes of the slanders against the people of the South being circulated In England by Ida Wells, Governor Tillman wrote a letter today, in which he seys: "I beg to say that I am correctly reported to this extent: I said in my canvass two years ago, and I say now, that. Governor, as I am. l would lead a mob to lynch any man, white or black, who had ravished any woman, white or black. I am on record as having asked the Legislature to give me power to remove any sheriff who allowed any prisoner to be lynched within his custody. I have ordered out the mllltla to protect prisoners whenever called on by . sheriffs. I am opposed to lynch law for anything but rape. That is a crime which, in my opinion, places any man beyond pale of the law. and puts him below the brutts. The Southern people are not blameless In dealing with the lynching question, but all our lynchings are not of negroes, and but for the fact that every outbreak of the kind is used as a text by Republican newspapers to slander and misrepresent our people, they would excite no more comment than elsewhere in the United States. I think statistics will show that lynchings occur as often In Western and Northern States as they do In the South." HIS MILLION'S DIVIDED. Cornell's Wealth Will Now Do Several People Some Good.

CROWDED HOUSES INTENSE EXCITEMENT Cures Made Which Stagger tho Intelligence of Man. Prof. Fritz Cures the Deaf, Blind, Sick,- Lamaf and Crippled, at Washington Hall, Every Afternoon, at 2:30 O'clock. Thit Sunday Afternoon Extra Lector on "Miatakes," and a Reame of Hi MarTelons Work In This City. But a few days more remain to witnesa; tho most remarkable cures ever performed on this continent, and many, through procrastination, will miss this opportunity oi a lifetime to see these most miraculous cures made by a mere touch from the hand of a stnuiffely-gifted mar. We read about the miracles of the pasl arrd wonder at the strange events of pre historic apes, little dreoralns that the sama mysterious cures would be done In this, ouf own city cf Indianapolis, and yet incredulity arid unbelief Is stamped so Indelibly ujn our minds that we are loath to believe our ovn eyes. For three long- "weeks have these wonderful cures been going on at Washington Hall, and yet we doubt an! wonder If it can be true. To-day people can be seen walking our streets like young men who, but a few days ago, wera crippled and upon crutches, never expecting any relief this side of the grave, but by the mysterious power of this man they: have been made to walk, while the slcte have been healed, the deaf mado to hear and blind to see. These things are truly strange, and seemingly more strance from the very fact that we can se them with our own eyes If we will but take the trouble to visit the hall where these cures are made In the mort pubMc manner, without money and without nrice. Professor Fritz has parlors at the Grand Hotel, where those pople who wlsn anl are able and willing to pay for consultation and treatment may see him from 10 a. m. to & p. m. dally.
