committee did not desire any official of
toe department to embark in new enter
prise* and therefore the appropriation
lined by tbe first assistant postmaster-gen
eral to employ inspectors had been segre
gated so that money could not be used by
him for that purpose.
But Mr. Loud said he agreed with the
first assistant postmaster-general fully as
to the principle of adequate supervision of
the postal service. He thought it would
benefit the whole service, but the commit
tee had decided that it was not desirable to
divide the regular force and had therefore
cut off the force under the first assistant
postmaster-general and increased the
regular force under the fourth assistant
poetmaeter-general by making provision
for thirty additional inspectors
In further explaining the bill Loud said:
"Tbe amount for railroad transportation
of mails had been reduced from $29,000.
--000 to $27,500,000 and the reduction had
been made in the hup* and expectation
that this bill to amend the postal laws re
lating to second-class mail matter, which
haa been extensively discussed, shall he
come a law."'
In answer to a question be stated he
would press that hill. If possible, to a vote.
Without completing the general debate,
the committee rosA, and at 5 ocloek a recess
was taken until s ocloek, the evening ses
sion to be devoted to the consideration of
private pension bills.
The night session was without incident.
About a dozen bills were favorably acted
upon.
IN COMMITTEE
Minority Report on Exterminating th* Seals,
ninor Datura
Washington, March o.—Senator Mor
gan, who led the opposition in the commit
tee on foreign relations to the Pingley bill
for the extermination of the fur seals of
Alaska in case of the refusal of England,
Japan and Russia to agree to arbitrate for
their better protection, ha* completed a
minority report. He take* strong ground
against the bill both on the score of hu
manity and International rights. He say*
the seal* And in the ocean their worat en
emy, the pelagic sealer.
Referring to the fact that even in case
ether countries concerned refuse to enter
into the proposed convention, the executive
department acting through it* agents can.
be argues, use its discretion in killing the
seals. The opinion is expressed that the
other governments will accept the bill as a
banter and insincere threat and will refuse
to negotiate with us. He thinks it improb
able tfiat Russia and Japan would unite
" in the cruel policy of destruction unless
they should do so for the mer
cenary purpose of enhancing the
value of their own herds, whicli
tie doe* not believe these government* are
capable of. No good results, Mr. Morgan
asserts, can come from the adoption of the
policy proposed. He says it is a hazardous
and unwise act for congress to anticipate
the executive in any matter that can be
settled by treaty, and states that it is un
derstood that this government is now en
gaged in diplomatic correspondence on
this subject with a prospect of success.
This undertaking would be most likely in
terrupted by tbe passage of tbe pending
bill. Mr. Morgan says the United States
are bound by the Pari* treaty a* it i* in
force, and that the treaty cannot be disre
garded while in force without responsibil
ity on our Dart to the government of Great
Britain. Tf the treaty is not satisfactory
to the United State* the remedy is in abro
gation and not by violation. Between two
such powers there is no judge which can
hold either to its duty. They are necessa
rily left to the arbitrament of the sword as
to the ultimate ratio regum.
"if that award did bind the two govern
ments to execute the regulations so as to
Srotect and preserve the seals," Senator
[organ concludes, "it had no possible ef
fect. If it left either free to inflict whole
sale and intended extermination upon the
seals, the treaty and the award were both
illusory. If the responsibility for the rapid
destruction is with Great Britain, as the
bill assume*, a complaint ahould be ad
dressed to that government, and if the
fault is with the Pari* tribunal, we ought
first to denounce it and free ourselves from
the obligations it enjoin*. Instead of that
the president ha* sent to the senate the con
vention, recently negotiated with Great
Britain, which affirms tbe award and the
treaty under which it was rendered and is
now before the senate for action. The pas
sage of this bill would virtually dispense
with that convention."
ARIZONA LANDS
The senate committee on public lands |
practically decided today to report back
the Arizona school land bill, recently
vetoed by the president, with a recommen
dation that it be passed over the veto.
Delegate Murphy of Arizona addressed tbe
committee in favor of the bill. The re
port would have lieen ordered today but
for the fact that the committee desired to
secure certain information from the in
terior department before finally passing
upon the bill.

CROP REPORT
The Driest February for Forty Years-lore
Rain la Needed
Sacramento, March ti.—The State Agri
sultural society, in co-operation with the
California climate and crop service, James
A. Barwick, director, issues the following
crop summary for the month of February:
The month was one of the driest Februarys
known during a period of over forty years.
The great excess of heat above the normal
ha* brought out the early fruit buds to a
greater degree than usual for the season,
whicli therefore are liable to damage from
March frosts. The state is needing rain
from one end of it the other, which has
been required on account of tiie drying i
northerly winds that prevailed in Febrtia- I
ry, although at this writing-the oth of i
March—there has been quite a cold wave, j
elving snow, sleet, hail and rain, which has
enefited the crops by the amount of moist
ure precipitated, but has done some slight i
injury to the early budding fruit trees by '
the frosts of the first three days of March.

TRUCK AND TRAFFIC NOTES
President Huntington Before tbe
Senate Committee
A GREAT MANY WORDS USED
But Very Little Information la Gained
From Them
The Magnate Objects to the Us* ol the Word
"Manipulation," Saying He Didn't
Do It
Associated press Special Wire
Washington, March o.—After a vaea
-1 tion of two weeks the senate committee on
Pacific railroads today resumed considera
tion of the Pacific railway debt question.
, Mr. Huntington was present, but Senator
Morgan was absent at tbe beginning of the
hearing-
John Rooney, a representative of Ihe
junior bondholders, was permitted to file a
brief in opposition to the plans heretofore
offered for the reorganization of the Pacific
roads. He adverted to the consolidation
of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
assessments on subordinate interests for a
cash payment of the first and second
mortgages, and for management by gov
ernment commissioners, of foreclosure and
reorganization of these properties.
When Morgan appeared a linguistic con
test between himself and Hnntington be
gan. The senator began immediately by
asking Huntington as to his objections to
the Pattieon report.
Huntington replied that he objected to
it as a whole. He admitted he had beon
before the commission, but contended the
commission had certain theories to work
out and did not pay much attention to hi*
statements. "I know," he said, "all about
the building of the Central Pacific."
"It is not in much about the building of
the road." replied Morgan. "We want
to know as to about what was made out
of it."
"We did not," responded Huntington,
"make any more than we were allowed to
make under the statutes." Continuing as
to the division of proceed*, be saitl he
could divide what two were interested ex
actly in the middle.
Senator Morgan—Can you do that when
you are on one side and the people on the
other?
Mr. Huntington—l can.
Senator Morgan—l am going to give you
a chance before we get through.
Referring to the construction of the
Southern Pacific to Yuma, Ariz., Hunting
ton said Colton was interested in that
transaction and he t Huntington) had
nothing to do with the disposal of his es
tate.
"Did you not." asked Mr. Morgan, "buy
Mrs. Colton'* house in San Francisco?''
"I did."
"And did you not find Colton'* papers in
the house?'"
"1 found wall paper there."'
"But did you not find private papers
there and burn them?'"
"If you charge me with that I wilt an
»wer?"'
"It is charged by men who have written
me. men as good as I am."
"Then they are good men."'
Huntington then asserted with much em
phasis that he neither found any of Col
ton's papers in his house nor destroyed
any of them. Huntington was examined
as to his partnership with Mark Hopkins
in the hardware bini; ießß i n San Francisco.
He declared ttie hardware business was in
noway connected as a partnership with
the railway business. The firm, he said,
loaned Motley to railroads, also bought
railroa'j securities, whicli were divided be
tween as individuals. He said Senator
Morgan was asking too much when he
usked him to give the details of business
transactions thirty-five years ago. There
had been no general settlement of Hop
kins' accounts upon the latter"* death, but
Mrs. Hopkins had gone on as the repre
sentative of her husbantl's intereeis in the
railroads.
Mr. Huntington said in reply to questions
that he had considerable means outside of
that invested in the hardware business,
which he put into the construction o.' the
Central Pacific. He could not, however,
remember how much actual money he had
put into that construction. Still, he was
confident the amount was considerable.
He had bought, lie thought, abou' 2000
snares of the stock at the rate of $100 per
share before tha road readied New Castle.
He had also put money into the Contract
and Finance company, by whicli tbe road
was constructed.
More lhan $0,000,000 had been put into
that company by himself and his associ
ate*, but much of the money bail been bor
rowed, some of it on government bonds.
He resented, with some snow of indigna
tion, a question tending to show Ihat it
was the government and not the company
who had conducted the construction, say
ing that the comDany, with resources le
gitimately placed at their command, had
constructed it. He added that the com
pany had built thirty-one miles of road
without any government assistance.
Mr. Morgan complained in this connec
tion that Mr. Huntington was too much in
clined to give opinions and not fact,, but
Mr. Huntingtoti contended that he was
giving all the facts he had. He said that
740 miles of the road had been built in
seven years; that $'-'5,000,000 in bonds
had been received from the government:
that first mortgage bonds were issued tor
$15,000,000 more and that there was
$00,000,000 wortli of stock. He said lie
would not do the work again for twice the
amount received. Taking up the report of
the l'attison commission. Mr. Huntington
said that part of the road west of < Igden
from Bonneville table to Promontory
mountain had cost, according to Ceneral
Hodge, $87,000 per mile, whereas the
commission had put the price at $10,000.
He gave this as an illustration of the inac
curacies of the commission's report. This
part of the road had been built by the
Union Pacific and afterwards been pur
chased by the Central Pacific for the pur
pose of getting into the Salt Lake valley.
Mr. Huntington said the road paid well
for the first ten years and until after the
Atchison and Northern Pacific, had come
in as competitor*.
Mr. Morgan asked why the dividends had
not been put into a sinking fund and used
in paying the government and first mort
gage debt, to which Mr. Huntington re
plied that it might have been done "exeppt
for the novelty of it."
"Such things are never done," he added,
"ihe stock was entitled to its dividend:
furthermore, the government had inter
fered with the purpose to do this through
the Thurman act."
Mr. Huntington said he could not re
member how much hu had received on ac
count of the dividends, but lie did not
think the amount was large. He thought
the dividend* had never exceeded 10 per
cent. It appeared upon examination that
Mr. Huntington obtained his dividends
principally through his interest in the
Finance and .Contract company. He added
that this company had used a part of it*
assets in building other roads, but these
were built in the beet interest of the Cen
tral Pacific company. The Contract and
Finance company had begun to sell it*
stock when it began to appreciate and
this was done in ore. jr to pay the debts,
whicli amounted to from $9,000,000 to
sllc-000-000. They had disposed of a great
deal of the stock for this purpose. The
price of the stock sold had ranged in price
from Ift to 31 cent*.
Senator Morgan referred to the fluctua
tions in the stock a* tbe result* of manipu
lation, but Mr. Huntington took exception
to the use of the word. He laid there had
been no manipulation, and "this is not a
proper word to use."
Mr. Uantlajt** «M to had mkt ninth

paying a dividend for ID cent* on the dol
lar, but declared in reply to a question that
this was not done to break the market. He
alao declared that this was not remarkable
and that he had made the sale because he
wanted money.
"Did you tell your broker to sell as low
down as he could set?"
"That is a question." replied Mr. Hunt
ington. *'that the senator should not ask
me. But I did not tell him that."
Mr. Hunt me ton said that so far as he
knew these low sales had no effect on the
I"nion Pacific stock. He had sold no Cen
tral Pacific stock to "bear" the I nion Pa
cific.
"Then what did you sell for?"' asked
Mr. rlogers.
"To pay my debts. - '
"To whom were yotl indebted?"
"To those from whom I had borrowed
money."
"Who were they?"
"Those who hail let me have money."
Mr. Huntington ihen declared that he
did not know who his creditors were.
The committee then adjourned until to
! morrow.

THE KILLING OF HENDEL
i Later Developments Throw a Dark
Light on the Affair
something of Barker's Unsavory Name—What
Led Up to the TrazeJv on Thurj
day-Thst Affidavit
Further developments in the killing of
William Hendel hy J. 11. Barker at the lat. j
ter's ranch, some miles above Pasadena, ;
on Thursday, seem to throw an even I
darker light on the alTray and the causes
leading up to it.
Hendel had, while in the county jail, '
told several of his intimates the story of
his escapades with Mrs. Barker. He stated
that on the eventful Saturday night when
the criminal intimacy between them was
renewed, he received a note from
Mrs. Barker asking him to com?
to the house as her husband would
be away working at his trade. 'hat
of a barber, in Los Angeie6. When Darker
came home and his wife heard him at the i
door, Hendel stated that she arotued him '
a d telling him that her husband had ccme,
asked him to take a shotgun in the house ,
and kill him as be came in the door.
This he refused to do, and made his es- •
cape through a window. The fact of ]
Hendet's presence and the criminal rela- 1
tions sustained with him on that night by :
i Mrs. Barker were embodied in the affidavit •
I which was sworn to by her and signed,
i and which Barker held over the heads of
i the guilty couple. Hendel had worked for
Dr. O. Shepard Barnum at the Las Casitas
sanitarium and to him was due some $70
for wages. This he claimed Barker en
deavored to extort from him by threats. '
One day he received a letter from his para
mour stating that her husband had said he
would shoot him on sight. Hendel pro- >
cured a pistol antl matt? the demonstration
on meeting Barker that resulted in his be- I
ing brought up and put under bonds to >
keep the peace and serving six months in
jail.
Ihe incident of the larceny of tbe furni
ture from tne bouse he was watching, he
claimed, was but another move of Barker 1
to fleece and injure him by means of the
bold he had acquired.
Mrs. Barker came originally from Illi
nois, and it is paid she was never married
to her alleged husband and that he has
auother wife and children living. Her
maiden name was Florence Millisjn.
Barker came originally from Hilisboro,
()., and bears an unsavory reputation in
general. He is known as a tin-horn
gambler and general sport, and has beon :
accused by hi« wife on several occasions of
maltreating and neglecting her. At one
time, it is said, he came to town with her
and deserted her on the streets late at '
night, leaving her to find her way home i
alone.
Altogether the case promises some un- !
savory development when brought to trial
and promises to drag the names of several
innocent parties into public notice through
their connection with the principals in the
affair.
MURDER AND SUICIDE
A Tragic Ending to an Unfortunate Love
Affair
Oakland, March 6.—Murder and suicide
ended the love affair today between Ed
ward Hack, a young barber, and Diana
Paeheeo, in a lodging house at 011 Sixth
street. An unrelenting father bad for
bidden bis son to wed the girl and the
death of the lovesick couple was the cul
mination of the refusal.
William Dannaker, proprietor of the
rooming house where the tragedy occurred,
discovered the bodies in a room this even
ing at 7 ocloek. His attention had been
called to the fact that the door had been
kept locked all day, and he at last forced
it to learn what was wrong. Unon a bed,
s'do by side, were the half
ctothed bodies of the man and
I woman. Further examination disclosed a
burnt bulle' hole in the left aide of each
body exactly over the heart. Their arms
were clasped behind them beneath their
beads, while near Hack's body lay a pistol.
Hits of paper and envelopes covered with
incoherent missives to the parents of each
told the story of (heir love.

! STOLE FROM A SICK MAN
j John Frant Got Drunk and Embezzled
Another's Money
' He Hesrs Ihe Sentence ol One Hundred Dsys
and Ac:epts It With a Volley of
Proline Thanks
i Detective Hawley arrested a man by tho
! name of John Frant on the street yester
i day morning, and before afternoon be was
i Berving a good long sentence in the city
jail. Frant has been in custody before, be
having been sent to tho county hospital
some three we3ks ago to b9 treated for in
sanity. Ho had been drinking heavily and
was In a condition bordering close on the
jim-jams, when booked at the jail, and
was sent over for medical treatment.
Only a few days ago lie applied at the
Sisters'hospital for treatment of a severe
cut in the scalp over the left eye. It is not
tho custom to receive charity patients at
the latter institution, bu» he was cared for
and in return did what little work was re
quired in cleaning up the wards.
Day before yesterday one of the patients
asked Frant to go down town for him and
buy a suit of underclothes and a shirt, and
gave the fellow $10 with which to make
the purchases. Frant went olf, but did not
come back. He bought the clothes anil
proceeded to get drunk with the balance of
the money. At a late hour he hired a room
for the night and on awakening yesterday
morning had hut 115 cents in his pockets.
This was not enough to buy many drinks,
i and the underclothing was taken to a
i second-hand store and disposed of for 30 ,
j cents, which also went for liquor.
Ono of the convalescent patients from ;
! the hospital saw Frant reeling along the;
streets and pointed him out to Officer j
Hawley. Brought up before Judge Rossiler
Frant had nothing to say in his own do- :
fence. He admitted the embezzloment of
the money antl offered as an excuse that he
would not have done it had he not been
drunk. The judge gave him a line of !
$100 or 100 days, which was accepted
amid a volley of profuse thanks and re
marks that the justice wao a good fellow
and on 9 long to be remembered. Frant
evidently expected to be sent to state's
prison and considered himself lucky to get
off so easily.
A SALT LAKE SENSATION
A Cue Somewhat Resembling That of Pearl
Bryan
Salt Lake, Utah, March 6.—A sensation
was created here tonight over develop
ments concerning the death of Evelyn 1
Bonnet, a beautiful girl of Provo, who died
in this city on Sunday night. Several sus
picious circumstances led to an investiga
tion and the body was exhumed. It showed
that death had resulted from a criminal
operation and today Dr. McCoy, one of the
attending physicians, and Mrs. Massey, at
whose bouse the girl died, were arrested.
In the evening Sim Duggins, a saloon
keeper of Provo, Dr. Noyee, a physician of
that place, and Frank Carter, to whom it
is said the girl was engaged, were arrested
on the charge of murder. Noyes and
Carter are not thought to be implicated
But the feeling was intense against Dug
gins. Large crowds gathered on the streets
of l'rovo and for a time there was talk of a
lynching. All of the prisoners were brought
to Salt Lake tonight for safe keeping.
Mrs. Lane was proprietress of the lying
in hospital in which Miss Hall died. Dr.
seaman, who attended her, was recently
sentenced to ten years in state prison for
manslaughter in this case. Mrs. Lane has
not yet been sentenced.

Cincinnati, 0., March 6.—The Com
mercial Gazette's special from Frankfort,
Ky., says:
The Kepublican members of the legisla
ture feel confident that St. John Boyle of
Louisville will tomorrow be elected United
States senator. They propose tbe first
thing tomorrow to force a vote in the
bouse on the Kauffinan-Dunlap con
test. After unseating Kauffman and
swearing in Dunlap the senate will not
have time to retaliate before the legal hour
arrives for tbe joint ballot. Boyle lacks
only one vote tonight, and his friends say
he will get it tomorrow before there is any
time allowed for any revolutionary meas
ures. The senate has a Democratic major
ity and the the house a Republican major
ity. The Blackburn managers threaten to
throw out two Kepublican senators for every
Democrat unseated in the house. No con
tests have been filed in tbe senate and a
senator cannot be expelled except on a
two-thirds vote. Tbe Blackburn men are
expected to make some sort of a forcible
resistance tomorrow to the election of
Boyle.

Strong I'arty Favora the Abandonment
of the Abyssinian Campaign
Associated Tress Special Wire.
RoMJS- March 0. —The rioting caused by |
the anger ot the people at the conduct of !
the Abyssinian campaign was continued
last night in nearly every large city in
Italy, although a rainstorm cleared the
streets of the capital.
At Milan a mob marched through tbe
principal streets, smashing windows right
and left, yelling execrations on Crispi and
the ministers, calling for the trial and
prompt execution of (ioneral Baratieri.
The soldiers and carabinieri were pelted
with stones, and bayonets and swords
wero used to drive back the crowds. Some
soldiers and policemen were injured antl
scores of rioters slightly wounded. The !
disturbances continued until 2 a. m.. when
the troops, at tho point of the bayonet, !
had cleared the railroad station anrl neigh- j
borhood of rioters antl established a cor
don of soldiers about it, while guarding
with strong pickets all approaches.
A group of members of tho Right party
passed a resolution demanding the com
plots abandonment of Erythera, as its re- i
tention would only involve a waste of
money and men.
The work of dispatching reinforcements
to Massowah is being pushed with praise- j
worthy vigor. On board the chartered
transports men relieve each other, so that
the work of fitting out these vessels is con
tinued day and night. The army reserve
men of the class of 1872, just called to the
colors, wilt, as soon as equipped, relieve
regiments now doing garrison duty, and j
tho soldiers thus rendered available for
active service will bB shipped to Africa as;
soon as possible, unless the incoming mm- ;
fstry makes a complete change in thecnlo- 1
nial policy of the country, as advocated by
many prominent men, and it is determined
to make peace at my price with the Abys- j
sinians,
Among the military men there is a
strong sentiment in favor of pushing the
campaign in Africa to the utmost, even if
it is necessary to call out all the army re
serve? and send 90,000 additional troops
to Abyssinia. But the sober-minded per
sons in the community advocate a policy
of pence, even if it is necessary for Italy's
pride to suffer in order to obtain these ;
ends. The masses, as a rule, are opposed
to any further sacrifice of the lives of
Italian soldiers and they are in sympathy
with those who favor a complete change in
the colonial policy of Italy.
In the meanwhile the financial situation
is alarming, to all wdio contemplate It. antl
this, it is hoped, may have the effect of
bringing about the adoption of a policy of
conciliation and economy .
The students of i'isa invaded the rail- '
road station here last evening ns a result
of a report having been circulated that the
artillery from the garrison of that place
was to be transferred to Naples for ship
ment to Africa. They marched to the
depoi. shouting "Down with Crispi," "Get
U3 back our soldiers,'' "Death to Bara
tieri," etc. A strong force of police was
sent to the station and the students were
dispersed, a projected demostration at the
capital tonight proved to be insignificant.
A few speeches were made by prominent
people. The police prevented anyone from
obtaining an entrance to the capitol.
Dispatches from Massowah to the Italian j
papers show that the Italians fought brave- '
ly at Adowa and obeyed orders wherever
they were well led. But they were badly ;
organized and there was no direct control
over tho distribution of the forces.
tieneral Arimondi and Colonel Galliano,
with 300 white soldiers, are now reported
to be prisoners in tho hands of the Shoans.
it is reported that Cassala is now sur
rounded by the dervishes. According to
the Italia Militairo the Italian losses
amounted t0.4000.0f wdiich 11000 belonged
to Gen. Albertone's column. It is positive
ly ascertained that Gen. Dabormida is
dead, The only thing known of Albertone
is that he fell wounded in the attack.
The Opinione states that General Bald
issera has telegraphed the government that
the situation is very serious and that he
can do nothing to relieve Adigret. He j
wants means to strengthen the position of
Asmara.
The government has replied leaving him I
liberty of action, but begging him not to
engage the enemy except in case of ex
treme necessity.
COMMUNICATION CUT
London, March 7.—A dispatch to the
Times from Cairo says:
The Abyssinians or the dervishes have
cut tbe wires between Cassala and Masso
wah, And it is feared that they have iso
lated Cassala by occupying the intervening !
country. The latest advices, which were ,
of Saturday, state that 2000 Italians bad
left Asmara to reinforce Cassala, whioh had I
already a garrison of 'JOOO Italians and
natives. It is feared the dervishes who are 1
within rille shot of Cassala have inter
cepted the Italian reinforcements.
The Times also lias a dispatch from
Borne which says:
The Tribuna's Massowah telegrams clear
General Baratieri of the charge of disloyal
ty and show that the retreat to Addicale I
was begun three days before the battle of
Adowa, but was delayed on account of the
reportd movement of the Shoans. The
troops were short of rations and went into
action fasting after a night's march. Gen
eral Baratieri telegraphed on Saturday
that the Shoan position was impregnable.
A LOAN ANTICIPATED
London, March ti.—The Pall Mall Ga
zette this evening says it has the best rea
son to believe that Italy, in a few days,
will raise a loan of many millions of
pounds sterling.
GLAD TO ESCAPE ALIVE
London, March O.—A special dispatch
from Rome says: Humbert has ordered
tiignor Franzoi to undertake a special mis
sion to the Abyssinian negus, Menelik.
Senor Franzoi believes it is best to con
clude an honorable p.-ace with the Abys
sinians and abandon the country.

Hoy Wizard"
Those who are suffering from acute or
chronic dyspepsia will do well to read the
story ot Mr. Edward Rogers of Bangor,
Me. as related by bhn in the following
graphic manner of his years of suffering,
anil how he found an immediate and per
manent cure in Los Angeles-
Said Mr. Rogers: "1 am a native of
Hangor, Me., where I have lived all my
Inc. I am engaged in commercial busi
ness and am fl I years of age I have been
1 airly successful as a business man and am
considered prosperous among my towns
people. 1 reared an interesting family of
boys and girls, some of whom have grown
to manhood and womanhood, and I am
happy iv the knowledge that they are a
blessing and honor to my declining years.
"More than twenty years ago I was at
tacked with a stomach trouble to which I
paid little attention, attributing it to some
trivial irregularity of the liver. My family
physician called it biliousness, and when
ever it took the form of act lioness, as it did
at intervals, he would prescribe a few liver
pills as a purgative, Which of course pro
duced temporary relief. For about five
years I suffered the periodical inconven
iences, with varying degrees of acuteness,
when the facts of my true condition began
to dawn upon me. 1 discovered that a
complication of diseases had taken root
antl fastened upon my system that threat
ened to entirely undermine my life, and I
bad the cheerless prospect of an early
gravo in view.
"My sufferings became more extreme
Willi the lapse of tiruo until toy existence
became a hideous nightmare. I consulted
the best medical skill to be found in tho
ciiies of tho east, and each physician in
formed me that I was a physical wreck.
My troubles were diagnosed as constipa
tion, kidney trouble, dyspepsia, chronic
gastritis, nervousness, insomnia and a host
of other diseases, and, indeed, it seemed
to me I had contracted every ailment in
the category. For the past fifteen years
my existence has been a living death. It
wculd be a waste of words to attempt to
describe the sleepless nights of torture I
endured, the days of agony, the months
antl y ears ol misery that racked my body,
until 1 was roduced to a mere skeleton. A
month ago I was advised to seek a leas rig
orous climate by my physician, for he
feared I could not survive the climatic
changes incident to the spring season. I
arrived here a week ago in a state of ex
haustion. I was carried to a hack and
driven to a hotel, where I had to be as
sisted to my room, antl a doctor was sum
moned. For four mortal hours my life
was in the balance, but with mild stimu
lant and a few days' rest I recovered suffi
ciently to come out into the beautiful sun
shine.
"It was then I learned of the presence of
the Hoy Wizard In Los Angeles. I had
hoard of his fame in the east and was de
termined, if ever I hud the good fortune to
be within reasonable distance of him, to
take a course of treatments. I lost no lime
in locating his olfice, nnd that afternoon
was driven thither. 1 ditl not stand on
ceremony, but purchased a consultation
ticket immediately, and, by special re
quest, was ushered into his operating
rooms. The moment his magnetic hands
were placed on my emaciated body I was
thrilled with new life, my suffering began
to dissipate, antl when, after a half-hour
treatment I was absolutely free from pain,
1 walketl unaided from the office, down
the stairs to the street, when I dismissed
the hackman and walked to the hotel. I
nte a hearty supper that night, the first in
fifteen years,antl sleptfornine solid hours,
the most peaceful slumber I ever enjoyed
in my whole life. 1 rose the follow
ing morning quite strong anil partook of a
substantial breakfast, after which I en
joyed beyond expression an hour's brisk
walk. In the afternoon, by appointment,
1 again visited the Magnetic Phenomenon
mid received another treatment, the good
results of which are beyond the power of
expression. It is simply, purely and nn
ques'ionably a miracle, a iransfonnation
of a dried-up. dilapidated parcel of bones,
skin nnd sinew s, to strong and buoyant
manhood. 1 have been in the habit here
tofore of growing older and feebler with
the lapse of months and years, but now I
find myself growing younger and stronger
every hour. I think I w ill soon be an
athletic youth again. I have telegraphed
and written my wile and family the glad
titlinga of tny sudden restoration to health
and strength, and I thank God that 1 ever

The Cycle Cost Twenty-five Cents
Fred Dobscn, a youth of 1 1 years, who
resides at Fishing Creek, Columbia county,
Pa., has constructed tho latest novelty in a
bicycle. This wheel was bought into the
market from the manufacturer for 25
cents, it is not an old curiosity from a
lumber room, but a genuine wheel. It is
built of strips of wood, is fitted with brake
and tool box, and has an adjustable leather
naddle. the latter having a stretching or
tension screw to take up tho sag of the
leather.
It was sold without driving gear, but
was afterwards fitted out at the office of
tho Scientific American with sprocket
wheels and cranks, and with a perforated
leather belt in place of a chain, lhus
equipped it proved rideablo. It is not ex
nctly equal In comfort, easy running and
speed to an eighteen or twenty pound
modern wheel, but its propelling power is
satisfactory. Its construction udaots it
more to a serpentine line of progress 'ban
to a straightaway course. New lork
