The Pastor and the Faith Healer. The Rev. Dr. 8. P. Penson, pastor of the First Baptist church of Chicago, recently told a representative of the Herald of that city his experiences with one of the disciples of the faith healing belief. “There is » man named Norton in my church,” he said, ‘who isa sort of evangelist anda h healer. One day to my dismay I received a call from Norton and his wife to ask my, consent to his giving a series of special Bible readings inmy church on faith healing. I told him flatly that I didn’t helicve in his faith heuling doctrine, and that I couldn't think of giving my consent to his Bible readings. But instead of being dis- couraged, he became more persistent and at last get to be personal. “ ‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘has it never occurred to you that you are a standing reproach to Chris- tianity? ‘Look at that blind eye of yours, It might just as well be restored as not, and would be but for your lack of faith.’ “I told ‘him that I wasn't verf anxious to have it restored; that I saw more out of one eye than I wanted to see, and that, as to ap- pearances, I was s good deal handsomer, as things are, than is good for a minister. More- over, I told him that my eye was atrophied and could never be restored. But that made him worse and he declared that God would, in answer to prayer, restore it instantly. I told him ‘that one of my sons had lost a foot andasked him if God would grow another foot for him in answer to prayer. But nothing abashed, he shouted, ‘Yes, yes, certainly he would,’ bd “By that time I was losing my patience, you know, aud determined to close up the inter- view. SoI said: ‘See here, Brother Norton, how many teeth have you and your wife got between you?” “He looked confused « moment, and glanced at his wife and she at him. Then fie smiled and said: ‘Well, not one. We haven't got any teeth at all, except our false teeth,’ iow, Brother Norton,’ Isaid, ‘whatashame it is, and what a reproach to Christianity both of you are! Why don't you prey. to God to make you another set of teeth grow in your mouths? See here, you and Pipe wife go your way and pray for new teeth, and when your new teeth have begun to sprout come back, and we will together for my eye.’ “You pea, be hit me in the Ff snd Thit him in the mouth, He and his wife then took their departure, and I haven't heard anythin; faith healing since. Now, tea tell oT ne’ T have been shut up so long that I don't know what is going on at all.”. Don’t Touch a Grounded Wire. From Electric Power. It is always best to avoid danger if possible, therefore there is one rule which ought to be taught in every school in the United States, and that is never. lift a wire off the ground, Dr. Elmon A. Adams, the well-known physi- cian of East Washington, died at his home, 422 8th street southeast,a few minutes before 9 o'clock this morning. The fatal malady was pneumonia, which followed an attack of the grip. Dr. Adams was a victim to'the prevail- ing malady in more than one sense. Up toa week ago last Saturday he gave himself up to most exhausting professional labors incidental to the large amount of sickness in the city and continued to devote himself to his patients for some days after he was ill himself. Then he was compelled to remain at home and pneumo- nia rapidly developed. His popularity was at- tested by the scores of inquiries made at his house daily during his illness, He was in his fifty-first year and was a son of the late Josiah Adams, for many years intendent of the Washington asylum. After attending the schools of the old sixth ward he worked for atime asa carpenter. In the early days of the war he was a member of the Washington Light Guard, Capt. 8. A. H. Marks, jr..and served in the three months’ service. Then studying medicine he graduated and settled among the friends of his youth in East Washington, where he bag up a large practice. He was prominent in politics and for several years had been the president of the Republican Invincibles, He was a mem- ber of Washington Naval lodge, the Naval chapter of Royal Arch Masons and De Molay commandery of Knights Templar. He was active in many enterprises in East Washington, was president of a building asso- ciation, president of the East Washington in- vestment Nea va d and president of the Wash- ington steam dredging company. He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter. His sons are Dr. C. B. 8. Adams of Spokane Falls, Wash- 7 Rong who is now on his way to this city, and Allen Adams, a youth of sixteen, His daughter is Mrs. Leon D. Geneste, Dr. Adams was one of the oldest members of the Metropolitan Presbyterian church, and it is probable the funeral will take place from that church at 2 o'clock Sunday, if the ton, whois now on his way here from Spokane Falls, arrives in time. ee eae Harry Butler and His Pistol. Harry Butler, colored, was in the Police Court this morning charged with carrying a Pistol and also with being loud and boisterous. Harry's wife lives in Atlantic City and yester- day he purchased a ticket for that place and was going away ona late train, As he was going off on a pleasure trip he went out and took several drinks, Between 10and 11 o'clock he reached the house of his parents on B street northeast, as his counsel said, to bid them an “affectionate good bye.” He did so, says his sister, by drawing a revolver and saying “By — Tl have satisfaction tonight.” After making threats to kill somebody word was sent to the police and officers Fiyan and Gordon. re- sponded, “I'll kill any -- — who tries to take me out of this house,” he shouted at the top of his voice, but the officers took him out and they are still living. Judge Mills denounced the practice of carrying deadly weapons. It is a practice, the judge said, that should be se- verely punished. He referred to the recent killing of a policeman by a negro and the case of the small boy who was tried yesterday for attempting to take the life of a man. The maximum penalty—$50 or ninety da} i posed and the prisoner was fined $5 for dis- orderly conduct. Mr. Dumont remarked that he supposed the weapon would be confiscated, but the judge told him that there was no law under which that could be done, ees Fined for Profanity. This morning in the Police Court there was a charge of profanity against George Seaman alias Seymour. The complainant was Nathan Horn, a tailor on F street. The defendant is a retired soldier. Some months ago Horn figured as the intermediator in a love affair between Seaman and a young lady. The match was broken off and a law suit followed. Horn and Seaman became 1 ‘ies, and the latter, it is alleged, recently vialted Horn’s place of ‘busi- ness and called him some hard names, “But I pela no attention to that,” said Horn, although e swore out the warrant all the same. When the case was called to Judge Mills’ attention the question arose as to how Horn should be sworn. He finally put on his hat and was sworn on the Five Books of Moses, He then told his story and was corroborated by another witness, “Are you a Hebrew?" was asked of Seaman as he was about to be sworn. “Yes,” he replied, ‘but I'm a white Jew.” “From your complexion,” said the judge, “you are no whiter than any one else, Be sworn and maké your statement.” Seaman put on his hat, kissed the Five Books of Moses and made a little speeoh, He wanted to tell more than the court wanted to hear, and it was with some trouble that the judge checked him. He was fined $5 or fifteen days. The fine Was paid. —_.__ Amusements. Sale of seats for Fanny Daven; in “La Tosca” at Albaugh’s next week begins tomor- row morning.

President Parker intends to call the attention of the railroad committee of the board to this communication, with the view of their taking action relative to a conference with Gen. Sewell. It is the desire of members of the board to consider the entire question of the location of railroad tracks in this city, and it is hoped that some plan can be agreed upon for presentation to at the present session. One of the rail officials, in talking about this matter recently, said that if the company incurred the expense of lowering the tracks below the grade of the streets that Congress ought to assume the cost of building the neces- sary bridges, —.—__ The Alleged Hod Carriers’ Conspiracy In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, in the case of the United States against Henry Green et al, indicted for conspiracy, Henry Green, Robert Throckmorton and Den- nis Brown plead guilty. These were indicted (with William Tolliver and Benjamin Warren) for having on the 24th of October conspired together as hod carriers and forced Messrs. Howarth & Gates to discharge one of their em- ployee—Frank Cook. Mr. Mullowney, assist- ant district attorney, said that he understood that some one had ted that if they plead guilty sentence would be suspended. He had sent to Judge Hoge and he stated that the facts are somewhat different from @ former case and he desired to try the case, The defendants were again called u court explained that they could wi —— take the advice of counsel if they so lesired, This they did and having 2 brought in om bench warrants they were ordered into commitment, the court fixing bonds at $200, and the ‘aw their —-—=+ ‘Woman Citizenship. To the Editor of Tae Evewixe Stan: Will you allow me to make a correction and ask a question? In your issue of yesterday ap- pears under Capitol Topics the information that “seven ladies of politico-social eminence, styling themselves citizens,” have petitioned the Senate and House of Representatives for representation on the board of managers of the world’s fair. The facts are that 110 names of the most prominent women in Washington have been signed to such a petition. The seven names came in too late to attached to the first petition, Hundreds of names could have been secured had there been time. The ques- tion we would like answered by somebody is: If women are not citizens what are they? Per- haps, in view of the fact that the names of the wives of five of the justices of the Supreme Court are on that petition, the answer might come from the Supreme Court itself. Very respectfully, oO Reported for Tut Evexine Stan, License Questioy 1x @ount.—The corpora- tion court opened its session again this morn- ing after a day's interval. The principal busi- nese of the day is the motion for a transfer of the license of Brown & Laws from their old location on King street, opposite the opera house, to the new building on Fayette near Duke street, The matter attracts considerable attention, The change was made with the misapprehension that there would be no oppo- sition to the location of his restaurant on the new site, but some of the property holders near Fayette and Duke streets object, and the mat- ter is the subject of vigorous contest. Mone Money ror ALEXANDRIANS.—THE STAR chronicled many months ago that the Washing- ton and Obigqrailroad of this city had been sold for over ‘$380,000; that the purchasers had failed to comply with their contract and that on a resale a much smaller sum was obtained than at the first offering. Since then suits have been in progress in New York to recover of the first purchasers the difference between the amounts of the first and of the second sale. These suits have recently been decided in favor of the railroad, but a compromise has been ef- fected and 280.000 will be paid to the trustees of the bond holders. This will give an addi- tional dividend to many Alexandrians and to the representatives of the late Farmers and Mechanics savii bank of this city. Nores,—Hon. Lawrence W.

From the Chicago Mail. I heard a charming young married woman make a singular remark the other day. “If I were aman,” she said, “I think I would be a bachelor. Not because I would admire the life or because I would prefer it to the joys of a hearth stone, but because in the whole list of my acquaintances I don’t know a girl whom I would marry, Whatare my reasors? I can't tell you exactly. There are some girls who are faulty one way and some another, but they ail fall so far below what I would desire in a wife, were I a man, that unless I were blinded to much that I now know, or unless I could tind somebody different from all the girls I had ever known, I would not » You think that a remarkable utterance?

The moment she was sighted outside the Golden Gate they put of and met her at the quarantine grounds. Miss Bly boarded the tug at once, showed her tongue to the health officer, had her baggage tumbled over after her, including the moukey “Solaris” alias “Bly,” which she brought along from Si: , and with a hearty three cheers for the plucky little woman given by all on board the Oceanic, the tug, under a full head of steam. darted y from the side of the great China steamer and shot across San Fran- cisco bay, Alcatraz and Goat Islands to the Oakland mole. The ferryboat was just about to start for San Francisco with its crowd of business men. Nellie Bly was discovered standing in the bow of the as it came alongside the pier. There was arush to see the traveler land, and when she set her footon the wharf there went up rousing cheers for the plucky little woman, Without an instant'’s delay Miss Bly was escorted to the handsome car the San Lo- renzo, drawn by the Queen, one of the fastest engines on the road and driven by Hank Lightner, an engineer of long experience and acool head.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, this morning, Littleton B. Jones, a young man, plead guilty, after the jury had been sworn,to an indictment charging him with false pretenses in obtaining a suit of clothes from M. Hamburger by means of a fraudulent check for #20 on the National bank of Norfolk, Va., and a pair of shoes of Jacob Strasburger on check for 35 on September 17 last. Mr. George K. French appeared for him and stated that he had been confined in jail four months; that a few days before comimitting this offence be came from Richmond with several men, all ona spree, and at the time he expected to write to his father to meet the checks, He asked that the court suspend sentence that the young man might return to his father’s store. The court declined to suspend the sentence, stating that he had some doubts as to whether he had the right in such acase to do so. They might use the mitigating circumstauces in an application for pardon. He imposed a sen- tence of one year in the penitentiary, the mini- mum prescril Chinese Going to New York. Twelve more Chinese laborers, the second batch within a week, passed through Pittsburg yesterday for New York. They came direct from San Francisco, and will be followed by about fifty more, who will reach the metropolis over the Newark Central early next week. The party yesterday was rather a forlorn-looking lot, as dirty and ignorant in appearance as Hungarians fresh over the sea, Lien Chein, who conducted eight of his countrymen to New York last Friday, was on hand to meet the second batch. He said those who went through on Friday have not been put to work, but are waiting for the arrival of their com- rades, when they will be started to labor in a contractor's by themselves. Lien Chein says that, although the nien are good laborers and have done weil in the west, he thinks they will be @ failure in New York. The Irish and Italian elements are so strong there that he does not think the Chinamen will be given a fair show. He says the politicians will put a stop to their introduction because the Irish and Italians are useful to them, while they cannot do anything with the Chinese laborers. These latter, Lien Chein says, belong to the very lowest class of their people, and at home do nothing but the very meanest kind of work. oo New Jersey Courtesy.
