4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, SANTA BARBARA EXCITED OVER A PECULIAR PAvV- ING PROPOSITION, s ) PROTESTS OF CITIZENS. WORKINGMEN, HOWEVER, FAVOR THE PLAN, AS IT WILL AID LABOR. OBJECTIONS MADE BY WOMEN THEY REPRESENT MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE ASSESSED VALUATION OF THE CITY. SANTA BARBARA, Car,, Oct. 27.—On Monday next the peonle of Santa Barbara will be called upon to vote whether they wish to issue bonds to the amount of $60,000 for the purpose of paving twelve miles of graded streets in the city with asphalt, after a peculiar and original plan. The streets are hfty feet wide, and it iz proposed to lay upon the present dirt road- beds three strips of crude asphalt or bitu- minous sandstone two inches thick, one | strip twenty feet in width running down the middle of the streets, with asphalt gutters, five feet in width, adjacent to the sidewalks and at a distance of ten feet from the center strip. To say that t to over this proposition isto fall somewhat short of the truth. When the proposition was first brought forward in the Council, and before the bond election was deter- mined upon, a protest signed by one-third of the voters of the city was laid before that body. It was claimed that this protest was merely representative of public sentiment on the subject, and that if there had been time double the number of names could have been secured. On the other hand it is asserted that the workingmen of the city are united in favor of the proposition, foreseeing em ployment for a number of laborers. Of the local press, one daily paper from the first has been vigorously opposed to the scheme; another daily. hose publication dates back to within a week or two of the announcement of the project, eloguently esponses it, advancing excellent and per- suasive arguments in its favor, while the third daily sits elegantly astride of a hypo- thetical fence. To-day’s issue of the Daily Independent comes out under the auspices of ths Woman's Club, a large and infiuential or- ganization of ladies probably representing the best intelligence and culture of Santa Barbara, as well as a very large amount of Santa Barbara property. There are a number of forcible editorials and communications opposing the paving proposition. Certain points are made very prominent, chief among these are the pres- ent high tax rate of the city, which amounts to 3 and 5-10 per cent. Incidentally the ladies score an excel- lent point and justiiy their own action in entering this campaign by showing that of the 1500 registered voters of Santa Barbara but 600 appear on the assessment roll, while there are 535 women on the assess- ment roll, representing $1,400,000 out of a total assessed valuation of $4,000,500, Santa Barbara women are very consery- ative, and only their own strong convic- tion could thus draw them into a public contest. It is rumored. that they will be more or less active on the day of the elec- tion, and the alt is awaited with con- cern by both sides. —— UNDERGROUND is mildly excited TER SOURCE. Five Streams Tapped on the Crocker Ranch at Montecito. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Oct. 27.—At the great Crocker lemon ranch at Monte- cito an imporiant and very unexpected discovery has been made. Like almost all other orchard properties in this vicinity this beautiful property has been in need of a larger water supply. Duke Baxter, the superintendent, under- took to meet this want by sinkidg snallow wells. His success with the first well was so great that he proceeded to sink half a dozen more. He found that he was tapping the waters of what appeared to be a subterranean stream of magnitude. He then began a series of small lateral tunnels to tap the flow, with the result that he now has run- ning in his underground trench a stream of the purest water, tour feet wide and a foot deep, estimated to carry about eigh- teen miners’ inches. This flow is more than double that flow- ipg in Mission Creek, and which consti- tutes the entire water supply of Santa Barbara during the summer season. Two hundred and fifty thousand gallons are being pumped for daily use on the ranch, where 200 acres of lemon trees are under irrigation. This pumping is easily accomplished, as the stream is a shallow one, being not a dozen feet beneath the surface of the ground, and evidently comes down from the vast reservoirs of the Santa Ynez, which begin to rise not a mile away. William Gould, a wealthy resident of Montecito, is sinking an artesian well on his pretty fruit ranch about_a mile distant from the Crocker ranch. Mr. Gould has began boring with the intention of sink- ing 2000 feet to find flowing water, if it should be necessary. As this is the first deep artesian well ever sunk in this vicinity, and the enter- prise is backed by ample capital to carry 1t to a successful conclusion, its progress is being watched with the greatest interest by Santa Barbara people. e FRED COLTON RRADLEY DFEAD, Prominent Citizen and Official Passed Away at Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., Oct. 27.—The citizens of this community were shocked to-day by the intelligence of the death of Fred Colton Bradley, which occurred early this morning. Mr. Bradley was the first official of the county, having been elected to the responsible office of County Clerk at the last fall election. Although never a man of robust consti- tution he was in fairly good health, and as late as Thursday morning last was in his office attending to business. His disease was inflammation of the bowels, probably superinduced by a cold, and progressed rapidly to a fatal termination. r. Bradley was the son of a farmer who for many years resided in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, but who removed to Lom- poc a few weeks ago, and who, with the sorrowing mother, was unable to gain the beld.lda' the dying son in time to see him alive, The deceased was a native of California and but 30 years of age. He was a success- ful teacher in the public schools, and pre- vious to his election was in the employ of & local business house. He was a Democrat, and was elected to office by a coalition of the Populists and Democrats. In character he was estimuble and industrious, and of a peculiarly gentle disposition. - He was married some five years ago to Miss Anita Freeman, the daughter of a Santa Barbara physician. He left a widow and two children. Deceased was a member of the Native Souns, of the Inaependent Order of For- esters and the Ancient Order of Foresters. The funeral, which will probably take place on Tuesday, will be conducted by these organization bl G Santa Barbara’s Wiser Man, SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Oct. 27— Harry Rundell, who attempted to examine the contents of a gasoline tank car side- tracked at Summerland is doing nicely and will probably recover, although he was terribly burned about the face and neck and hands. When Rundell lowered his lantern into the gasoline tank a shaft of flame was sent into the air to a height of 150 feet. —_———— Fire at Montecito. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Oct. 27.—A barn belonging to Mr. Snell, the Monte- cito storekeeper and postmaster, was burned this afternoon together with 200 tons of fodder. —— BERING SEA SEALERS. Reports Submitted by the Puget Sound Fleet for the Season Are Not Encouraging. PORT TOWNBEND, Wasn., Oct. 27.— The sealing season for1895 is over, and while but a few large catches were made by any of the schooners, those of Puget Sound, with but few exceptions, fell con- siderably short of the estimate made when the season began. The Sound had but small representation in the fleet, and | hardly a one of the fen vessels which went | out made anything like good money. As | was the case last year, the smallest catch was that made by the George W. Prescott, éhf schooner built by W. H. Lee at Iron- ale. The certified report of the catch given by the incoming vessels to the United States Sealing Inspector, E. S. Fowler of this port: Bering Sea catch—Deeahks 592, Columbia 544, Bering Sea 663, Stella oil and 676, James G. Swan 1084, Prescott 329, Allie I. Alger 193, M. M. Morrell 393, Wil- lard Ainsworth 440. Japan coast catch— Willard Ainsworth 1241, Allie I. Alger 1003, Morrell 857. The total catch of the fleet was 8015, which shows a marked increase over the success which attended its efforts in the spring, when the total was only I Of honers enumerated the fi 1by natives at Neah Bay manned by Indians, with the exception of | a sailing-master in each. AR ROAD RACE AT SAN JOSE. F. L. Seybolt Won, 14:22, With a Handicap of 1:10, Rene Brassy Second and W. K. Jamison Third. SAN JOSE, CawL., Oct. 27.—The five-mile | handicap race of the Garden Oity Cyclers | over the East S8an Jose road course proved to be an interesting event, and about 1000 spectators witnessed the start and finish, The handicapping was good, and the men were well bunched at the finish. Of the thirty entries twenty-two started and all finished but eight. F. L. Seybolt, with a handicap of 1:10, came in first in 14:22; Rene Brassy second and W. K. Jamison third.

Nevada fielded bowled their best to the very last and over, and took tneir long outing like true cricketers. MILITARY POST ABANDONED. Regular Troops Are No Longer Necessary at Fort Stanton. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27.—Orders have been issued atthe War Department providing for the abandonment of Fort Stanton, N. M., and the turning over of the reservation to the Interior Department aws. Before deciding to abandon the post Secretary Lamont communicated with the Secretary of the Interior, and as the latter had no objection and did not think the maintenance of the post was necessary as far as Indians were concerned, it was de- cided to abandon it, The post is now occupied by one com- pany of cavalry, which will be sent to some pos: designated by the general com* manding the Department of the Cclorado /fir disposition under the general land PACIFIC COAST NEWS, ELEMENTS OF A BooM IN FAIR SANTA ROSA'S GROWTH. NO SIGNS OF ABATEMENT. MERCHANTS TUMBLING OVER ONE ANOTHER IN THE EFFORT TO BEAUTIFY. CHURCHES AND SCHOOLHOUSES. New BUILDINGS AND IMPROVE- MENTS OF OLD ONEs—MANY PRETTY DWELLINGS. SANTA ROSA, Car., Oct. 27.—In the march of progress, business advancement and building improvements, the past year will in the future be looked back upon as the most important period in the history of Santa Rosa. Particularly in the build- ing line will this be true. The city’s recent advancement has been marked by none of the feverish fluctua- tions that usually characterize a municipal boom. On the contrary, the effects of a steady and lasting growth in all lines are apparent on the business streets and along the shady avenues of the residence dis- tricts. And still no signs of abatement are noticeable. On Fourth street the mer- | chants are tumbling over each other in and enlarging their bnsiness houses confidence in the commercial future of the city, There is now scarcely a shabby store front to be seen on the main business portion of Fourth street. It is estimated that upward of a hundred | residences have been completed inside the | city limits since last winter. As an indi- cation that contractors have had their hands full during the building rush, one firm alone is said to have erected ahout thirty houses. The demand for residences is continued and each one finds an occu- pant as soon as finished. The recent completion and dedication of the modern high school on Humboldt street, the addition of the beautiful chapel to the Ursuline Academy, and the renova- tion of the Pacific Methodist College build- ing, all go to show that the educational authorities are alive to the weighty re- sponsibility which is theirs in the turning out of young men and women who will sustain Santa Rosa’s reputation as a city of superior educational facilities. And the spires of still another church edifice will be thrust heavenward ere the next year ends, which will make two new churches built within two years. Perhaps the greatest benefit the city has achieved lately has come from the work expended on the several streets whick have long been in sore need of repair. Fourth street will scon be solidly paved the entire length of the business blocks, and cement has been laid in many places where unsightly board sidewalks had long been eyesores to the city. Many residents are rejoicing over the completion of ce- ment sidewalks on three of the principal streets, and improvements along this line are to be extended still further. NINE HUNDRED SLAIN. Long List of Victims of the Late Turkish Riots—Many Women Murdered or Kidnaped. LONDON, Exc., Oct. 27.—The Daily News will to-morrow publish letters from Trebizond, Turkish Armenia, stating that the number of victims in the recent riot- ing is estimated at 700 in the town and 200 in the surrounding villages. Many Ar- menian women have vanished and there is scarcely a doubt that they have been either murdered or kidnaped. Most of the houses occupied by Armenians were burned. There is great distress among the purveyors, who in large numbers are living in sheds or in the woods. Telegrams from Marash report that the situation there is serious and that the English and American missionaries are in peril. The situation around Iscid continues gravely alarmin, e Stole Hearts and Livers. BERLIN, GerMaAN?, Oct. 27.—A man named Dalldorf, an attendant in the Municipal Asylum for the Insane, has been arrested for having in his possesion a box belonging to the Pathological Insti- tute of the Griefswald University, which was found to contain a number of human hearts and livers.

Chief Kieckhoefor of the Bureau of Accounts Cta~ged With Carelessness in Office. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27,—As a result of the investigation into the methods of the disbursing division of the State De- partment known as the Bureau of Ac- counts, Francis J. Kieckhoefer, chief of the bureau, and Edward Haywood, chief book- keeper, have resigned at the request of Secretary Olney. No criminality is al- leged, but Mr. Olney decided that the affairs of the bureau had been carelessly conducted and deemed a change neces- sary. When he reached this decision is unknown, but he selected Mr. Kieckhoe- fer's successor several days ago, and the announcement of his appointment may be made to-morrow, The name of the person to whom the position will be given cannot be ascertained. The investigation began last July in conformity with the provisions of the Dockery reorganization law. It is under- stood that shortages were discovered in two accounts—the sale of volumes of the laws of Congress or Revised Statutes and money recelyed from South American and Central American Governments for the | support of the Bureau of American Re- publics. The experts found that $9000 redited to the latter fund could not be | satisfactorily accounted for, but Mr. Kieck- | | hoefer states that this amount and $4000 | more—$13,000 in all—is in a private bank | | in Washington to_the credit of the Secre- | | tary of State. This bank does not pay in- | terest, and the rumor that State D(-mrt-‘ | ment employes had benefited by itsde- | posiv appears to be groundless. | Copies of the statutes are for sale by the | Bureau of Accounts for $2 50 a volume. Many of them, however, have been dis- tributed free, some on orders from various Secretaries of State. and in each instance $2 50 has been charged against the bureau. A failure to keep an exact record of the free distribution has somewhat compli- cated the matter, but the explanation | given is said to be satisfactory. It is be- lieved that the Government has lost noth- | ing except the value of the volumes of the | Revised Statutes distributed free, and Mr. Kieckhoefer and Mr. Haywood are ab- solved from blame for any intention to de- fraud. P HILDRETH NOT TO BLAME. Santa Anita Horses Raced When He Ad- vised Differently. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—The Tri- bune to-morrow will say: E. J. Baldwin’s departure for the West may mean the absence of a unique figure from the Eastern racetracks for several years. Samuel Hildreth, who trained the Baldwin stable so suwcsstullf', leaves here for California to-morrow, Hildreth traine under difficulties, as his employer ham- pered him greatly. Mr. Baldwin is pe- culiar in many ways, especially in his selection of trainers. Although a millionaire the Californian has not bet heavily in recent years. It may be a pleasure to some owners to refer to the trainers when their horses are sent to the post unfit to race. Hildreth has ac- complished a geat deal with the Santa Anita horses. e won many races with them and loved the horses dearly; but he refused to train them for Mr. Baldwin be- cause he has been severely criticized owing to the running of horses which Mr. Bald- win insisted upon racing contrary to the advice of Hildreth. Bitten by a Rabid Dog. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 27.—A rabid water spaniel created a panic among pedestrians on several North Side streets and in houses this morning and bit three persons and a horse before being shot by a policeman while descending from a roof.

This society celebrates Washington's birthday annually, but this year they have decided to give their friends a literary treat on®Thanksgiving eve in Metropolitan Hall, and the board of directors is busily engaged making all the necessary prepara- tions. James D, Phelan will deliver the oration, and a splendid musical pro- %ramma is promised by the committee. of he entertainments given by the Knights St. Patrick, are always complimentary, but tickets must be procured in order to obtain admission, THE WOE OF WILDERMAN, His WORLD'S CHRISTIAN CO-OPER- ATIVE SOCIETY-IS SORE ON HIM. EVERY DIRECTOR AN ENEMY. No Farte 1IN His MUNIFICENT OF- FER OF LAND IN LOoWER CALIFORNIA. G. W. Wilderman is in hot water. He has started a **‘World's Christian Co-opera- tive Bociety” that does not co-operate; that is, it does not co-operate with him. Out of aboard of eleven directors he has only one friend. This friend is himself. ‘Wilderman, who is old enough to know better, started out last spring to get to- gether a flour-manufacturing colony which was to establish itself in Lower California, near Ensenada. He said he had avout 50,000 acres of land there and William Mec- Crindle of Oakland had a few thousand more. The “World's Christian Society” was formed and for a while had its head- quarters at the Golden Rule Hall, 948 Mis- sion street. He and McCrindle deeded 20,000 acres to the soeiety and was wont to exhibit an improvised flour-milling ma- chine, which was a centrifugal gold-quartz mill, and to elaborate upon the glowing possibilities of the colony supplying the markets of the world with thonsands and thousands of barrels and sacks of whole wheat meal. Wilderman was a believer in the Graham diet, and might have made an apt pupil in the Ralston school of ‘‘glame’ eaters. Here is a copy of the deed, a very modest document : We, George W, Wilderman and William Me- Crindle, herein give our written agreement to donate and deed to the “World's Christian Co- operation Seciety” twenty thousand (20.000) acres of land. Provided, that after the society comes into full possession of eaid land by deed and con- veyance it shail not sell or otherwise dispose of the same. We stipulate that the entire lands shall remain the property of this society for all time, and shall not be sold by the soclety. This land is to be taken from a tractof fifty thousand two hundred and sixteen (50,216) acres, as described in answer fo question 9 of this cireular No. 1, and from lands owned by William McCrindle in same grant. Witness our hands and seal this the eleventh day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five. GEORGE W. WILDERMAN, ‘WILLIAM MCCRINDLE. \\'I(yess(‘d by JonxN A R. B. ROSEBERRY, OWEN JONEs. The land, Wilderman told his eager auditors, lay in a fertile valley about six miles from Ensenada. He has not yet ex- \vlnincd how he gotit, considering that the Mexican Land and Colonization Company, an English enterprise, owns the Hueller concession cf the Mexican Government to nearly the whole of the peninsula of Lower California, with the exception of the 80,000 acres General Andrade claims. There is quite_an- interesting story in connection with Wilderman’s title to the land, which Mrs. Cashman of 942 Valencia street tells. Mr. Cashman is the author of **The Keys to the Kingdom, or Heaven on Earth.” She was identified with Dr. Bowen’s “Order of the New Life,”” an Ala- meda association of idealists. Dr. Bowen’s aim was to have a colony of ‘“‘spirituelle” people like that of Thomas kfl e Harris at Fountaingrove, near Santa osa. The story Mrs. Cashman tells is that Wilderman and McCrindle got this land through a spiritualist medinm, who went into a trance, rolled her eyes, had a vision, awoke and told Wilderman of the splendid opportunity near Ensenada, Wilderman was governed accordingly. There were only two conditions of mem- bership in the mel:tg. One was that each applicant had to be a believer in the divinity of Christ; the other, that this tenet would be accompanied by a cash sub- scription of $100. All that joined believed in the divinity of Christ, but only a few put up the $100. Over a hundred members had their names put on the roll, the society was in- corporated and then trouble came. Rev. Jonas Bushell, a Baptist minister and temperance-worker o Port Angeles, ‘Wash., became interested, and came down to San Francisco and visited Mr. Wilder- man on the Fourth of July .just as Mrs. Anna F. Bmith was criticlllf viewing the holiday parade. Kev. Bushell had already become a member, and was a director. He talked with Mr. Wilderman, and could not agree with him—there was not the true nity between them which would war- rant Rev. Bushell risking cold, hard coin in Mr. Wilderman’s venture. Soon after- ward Rev. Bushell resigned his director- ship, and withdrew from the society. A little later the whole board of direct- ors resigned. They could not agree with Mr. Wilderman. ~ Neither could the so- ciety, 8o a reorganization entirely was ef- fected and a new board of directors was chosen. Mr. Wilderman was the only member of the old board that was in- cluded in the new, and that was as a matter of letting him down easy. From this time on the other ten of the board of eleven directors set themselves in deter- mined opposition to Mr. Wilderman, and the nght 1s still on. The society is in the throes of constant battle, all because Mr. Wilderman is trying to oust the other eleven directors. Another element of discord was due to the mission which Wilderman started with the help of ‘‘Major”” Robinson formerly of the Bal-vation Army. Robinson had been accustomed to hola forth in the basement of the Nucleus build- ing on Market and Third streets. He had achieved prominence as a laborer with souls in Oakland and Santa Rosa. Wilder- man installed him in “Christ’s Mission” at 34 Fourth street, and the mission lasted a month. The directors refused to indorse it, and as they would not allow any money for its support it had to be given up. There was also a wrangle between Wild- erman and the new board of directors after the reincorporation of the society as to whether his offer of land should be ac- cepted in lieu of the regular cash subscrip- tion of $100. B Secretary Donald McRea opposed it ver: strongly, but finally the land was accepted. Secretary McRea said yesterday afternoon that he “wouldn’t give 5 cents for the land,” and others say it would cost $5,000,- 000 to get water on it for irrigation. The people who did put up the $100 each were: Jacob Knudsen, Donald McRea, L. W. Spencer, Thomas J. Weaver, Henry G. Derbaum, Mrs. M. F. Tunnell and J. K, Ahern. All of these except the itwo last named are in the present board of directors. Mr. Ahern has had his certificate canceled. | The other directors are President Wilder- man, Mrs, R. Kincaid, who has paid $68 15 | over to Treasurer Weaver, Mrs. A. Ander- son, N. C. Anderson, L. T. Price and Louis C. Rasmussen. Quite a number of the 119 certificate holders hnedp-id from $5 to_$18. ! Two of the old board of directors, John | D. Moreland and C. K. Welch, had paid | $17 and $5 15, respectively.

LATTER-DAY REVELATIONS.: Elder Whitesides Upon the Divine M #ages to His Church. Last night Elder E. M. Whitesides of the Church of the Latter-day Saints preached at 909 Market street upon the subject of “Latter-day Revelations,”” He said: Looking over the Christian world to-day we view a condition that to the unbeliever must appear amusing, if not ridiculous; but to t.hu_‘ believer who realizes the gravity of the situa- tion 1t is a condition that engages his serious thoughts. Modern Christianity is as a house divided against itself. It is broken into hun- dreds of factions that are almost diametricall: o) Youd to each other. Is this as it should be This question can be forever settled by re- ferring to the prayer of our Lord recorded in John xvii, in which he prays that perfect union may exist among his people. A unity like unto that which characterizes him and the Father. This happy condition for which our Savior prayed is far from being realized to-day. The gulf between what he would have had and the opposite has been growing wider and wider for seventeen centuries. The inquisitive mind wants to know the reason for this. Every religionist no doubt has his peculiar ideas in regard to this matter; but if you ask a Lal- ter-day Saint he will tell you that it is because reputed Christianity has apostalized from the primitive church of Christ in that it denies that continued revelation is a necessity. It has aiccarded the guiding principle as some- thing superfluous and is now driven about by every wind of doctrine justas a ship without the direrting factor would be tossed abont on the waters. Seventy-five years ago scholarly divines recoiled at the ides of any one com- | municating with God or receiving visitations | from angels in that age. In the face of all this | Joseph Smith, the unschooled farmer lad, who | descended from that hardy religious Puritan stock of New England, declared 1o the world that he had received heavenly messages, and we as followers ot that modern prophet bear testimony that God haa revealed his mind and will to man in this century. FRANK VERNON JR. BURIED. The Popular Young Stenographer Laid to Rest at Cypress Lawn, Frank Vernon Jr., son of Frank Vernon, | the well-known court reporter and sten- | ographer, was buried yesterday at Cypress Lawn Cemetery. His funeral was private, | only members of the deceased’s family | and some dear personal friends being present. Young Vernon was the private secretary | - Frank Vernon Jr. of Superintendent Frank Jaynes of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and but 25 years of age. He died last Thursday from pneumonia, which carried him off suddenly, as he had | been already run_down by chest troubles. | A cold contracted a day or two before de- | veloped in the fatal disease. He was a genial young fellow of exemplary habits, and of a sympathetic temperament which made him many friends. With all with whom he came in contact Frank Vernen | U was a genuine favorite, and his death was regretted sincerely by a great many young men and others in his own circles. Not quite 2000 dpcrsons are living who possess British orders of knighthood; or. roughly speaking, only about one in 28,000 of the population.

OUT OF HIS SKIN. An Oregonian Who Says That He Might Be in That Pre- dicament, He Proposes to Help in a Very Good work, and Has Good Reason to Do So. Some people in this world who are brim- ful of happiness have the faculty of keep- ing that fact to themselves, as though they were afraid that some of it might escape, and they would be a little the poorer on that account. But there are seusible folks, though, enough to make up for these poor misers, and one of these bright, whole- souled men is Mr. E. W. Fowler of Kamele, Or. Some time ago Mr. Fowler, who, as has been noted above, was celebrated on account of his good nature and his vivac- ity, began to droop a little. His smile had not that sunniness, nor his laugh that hearty ring as of yore. Those who knew him began to sympathize with him, to teil him how sorry they were to see him “‘go- ing dewn the hill,”’ and a hundred other equally dispiriting thinzs. And then they had Mr. Fowler as good as under ground, But they were reckoning without their host. They forgot that he wasa man of zood sense and knew where to look for ielp, and they had neglected to remember that the grand old Hudson Medical Insti- tute was still in existence, and that its corps of great specialists were daily, nay working wonderful cures.” The following letter will show how wrong these prophets were: Kaxe HUDSON MEDICA s T Aug. 8, 1895.
