Will Stay in This City and ‘Will Operate in Sugar. The dawn of another life is bre over the earthy horizon of Denis Kearney The man who once held the political de: tiny of San Francisco in the palm of his | hand is now a wealthy operator on the | floor of the local stock exchange, with a | bank roll at his back amounting to some- | thing like two hundred thousand dollars, all of which he made during the last year. Kearney has been so successful during the last few months that he contemplated moving his family across the continent to New York, where he intended to carry on his marvelously successful deals on Wall street. In fact, Mr. Kearney had his mind made up to leave with his family for New York and Wall street within a few days but something unexpected happened which called for a radical change in his plans. Dame Fortune is indeed smiling her brightest on Denis Kearney. He started Lihis carcer as a speculator in stocks with a capital consisting chiefly of brains, ac- tivity and shrewdness, and in one short year he has amassed a fortune that will keep him and his kith and kin on the soft | side of E: rect the rest of their lives. The man against whose political career, manipulations and memory many a brick has been shied is now interested In a sugar and wheat deal that promises to add a princely sum to his vast accumu- lations. “The story of Denis Kearney's career on the stock exchange and his sudden rise to wealth is one of dramatic recital. 1t was in the recent Leiter wheat deal, which wrought ruin and disaster to the plucky voung ~ Chicagoan — and innumerable wealthy individuals and concerns who were in on the deal, that Denis Kearney B o S S R O R O O R O e O R R a a =01 made his first real start on the gilded path to fortune. | ‘When the influence of Joe Leiter's manipulations in wheat became apparent in the local market Kearney’s shrewdness asserted itself. While wildly excited and mystified operators in the local wheat pit were standing aghast af the results of the Napoleonic manipulations of the wheat pit, Denis Kearney was coolly fig- uring out the situation. The price of May wheat steadily ad- vanced to a point over and beyond that of any of the previous years. There were few who disputed the power of Leiter to force the price of wheat up to whatever point would best suit his fancy. Denis Kearney was the exception. He watched the steady rise in the wheat market like a cat ready to spring upon its vietim. When it reached its topmost price Dens | Kearney felt the impending crisis in his bones. He risked all he possessed in the world on his judgment. The daring ten- dencles and aemte shrewdness of his po- litical days were handy allies in this mo- ment of uncertainty.

The ends of justice have been sub- served, however, and the banking world lawles: beside from h gunny been taken nd now weaves the of his ilk The matter of the court vesterday was of short duration. Judg Dunne had disposed of a few minor cases and then called that of James Creegan, forgery. Creegan rose from his seat be- side Captain Seymour and, addressing the court, sald that he pleaded guilty to the charge against him, walved time and | asked that sentence be imposed. | "At this juncture District Attorney Mur- phy walked to the bar and made a plea for the prisoner. The District Attorney first gave a brief history of the crime for which the prisoner was about to suffer sentence; how Dean had drawn a draft | for $12 in a Woodland bank upon th Crocker-Woolworth Bank of this how Becker had raised it to $2: | it successfully through the | with_the assistance of Creegan and Dean, ’nnd how the banking world had stamped- | | | proceedings od when the forgery was discovered in the Clearing house. He then told of the arrest of the principals; how Dean had turned | State's evidence; about the trial of Becker | and Creegan, their conviction and sen- | | tence to life imprisonment. | Next he referred to the reversal of the | judgment against the prisoners by the Su- preme Court for lack of evidence corrobo- | | Tating that given by Dean against his | “pals,” and concluded by asking the court | to deal leniently with the prisoner, as he | had, upon the opening of the last trial, | | agréed to turn State’s evidence with Dean, | thereby furnishing the prosecution with the necessary corroborative eviflence and | assuring the conviction of Becker, the man, as_District Murphy said, Who had ‘“for vears shaken the very foundation of the banking world.” . At the conclusion of District Attorney Murphy's _addr: the ‘court asked if such lenfency would be agreeable to spe- eial counsel for the prosecution and the Bankers' Assoclation. Upon the state- ment that the request of the District At- forney for leniency for the prisoner was made with the approval of the Bankers’ Association and special counsel the court | then passed sentence and Creegan was | taken ay to start upon his trip to the convict’s horror, Folsom Prison. | _Dean overjoyed when mnotified that | his long term of confinement in the City like Prison was at an end, and felt a | | new man as he breathed the pure air once again. It has come upon me so utterly unex- pected,” he sald as he stood outside the prison, “that I can hardly realize that 1 am a free mard vet. Captain Seymour ‘(nld me a few days ago that I might look forward to being discharged to-day, but I _have had so many disappointments that ! did not place much reliance in the ne “I have been over three years in the | prison and I must say that I have noth- ing but feelings of kindness for the offi- cials for the manner in which I have been treated, and I hope that I will be kindly remembered by them. “I have no definite plans for the future. 1 like San Francisco and think that it is the place for a man to live in with a moderate income, but I want to get back to New York just as soon as arrange- ments_can be made for my transporia- tion. I don’t suppose that I will ever be | a good man, but I will never be so ‘cuss- ed’ bad as I have been.” Dean has made many friends during his incarceration in the prison and he was warmly congratulated by many of them who met him on Market street after his release. He was always courteous and affable to visitors, and being a connois- seur on tea he was always ready to in- vite them to partake of his brew. He helped in a good many ways also to make the work of the prison officials lighter and they say they will miss him. He and Joseph McClosker were brought from Minnesota on March 12, 1896, by Cap- tain Seymour, and since then Dean has been confined in the prison. TELEGRAPHERS’' SOCIETY. | An Election of Officers Followed by an Interesting Programme of Varied Numbers. At the sixth annual meeting of the Tele- graphers’ Ald Soclety of this city the fol- lowing officers were elected for the cur- rent term: President, Frank P. Medina; vice president, D. R. Davies; treasurer, T. H. Reynolds, and secretary, Miss M. C. Sanquist. Following the election the members of | the society and a large number of their | friends in Washington Hall were enter- tained with an interesting programme, presented under the direction of a com- mittee consisting of J. M. Fairchild, M. C. Hunt, E. B. Harrington, Miss M. Bur- roughs, Mrs. M. E. Fleming and Miss F. B. Slattery. There was an address on “Business and Commerce With Relation to Soclal Science,” by W. J. Kirkwood; piano duet, Mjsses Grace Thornhill and Louise Coliins; a paper on “Expansion,” read by D. E. Bohannon, which was a { most excellent treatment of the subject, and was overy well received. Then fol- lowed sefctions on the gramophone, a tralto solo by Miss Etta O'Brien, guitar solo by H. Herrick, “Some War Experi- ences’” by Sergeant Ernest Dozier, who | was in the United States Volunteer Signal Corps and recently, returned from Mas nila; barytone solo by John Kavanaugh “Anette” a recitation, Miss Anna M. | Egenhoft; “I guess I'll Have to Telegraph My Baby,” coon song, by “the janitor, and selections by the orchestra. Dancing followed and the very pleasant reunion of the telegraphers and their friends contin- ued until a late hour. for Becker, the prince of for- | piano recital by Miss Clara Nolan, con- | | Life is full of startling surprises and | every day events are occurring which [awaken the thoughtless to reflection | and afford the romantic opportunities | for indulging in their pastime of study- ing the cause and effect of mund happenings. A few days ago the strange reu | of a couple who had bee:: separated for twenty years occurred in the parlors of Francis Truth, the remarkable heal- | er, at 440 Geary street. Suffering from | ills of long standing and attracted to Healer Truth by the newspaper ac- counts of his marvelous victories over disease, this couple chanced to cross his threshold almost at the same moment. The husband, afflicted with sciatica, sustained himself by crutch: the wife, suffering from organic troubles and an affection of the knee join was obliged to use a4 cane. Both made prog- ress with difficulty. Seated side by side and awaiting their | turn to Healey Truth, the strangely | reunited couple began a conversation, which resulted in the discovery of their | relationship.” The extravagant joy dis- played by them as they fell into each other's arms affected the onlookers with surprise, and, when they learned | all, with tears of mpathy and joy. The couple declined to give their names, and they are known to none but | Healer Truth, who is pledged to crecy. “It was a happy reunion,” he said to a reporter yesterday; “'but for a time at least I must remain silent con- cerning it. Both are patients of mine, | and both will in a few days be cured |-and able to return to their home in the | East.” From other sources it was learned that the couple lived in New Hamp- shire twenty years ago, when the hus- band came V t to make his fortune. Ashanted to acknowledge his disap- pointments, the husband did not write to his wife for nearly two years. Then she heard a report of his death. By a coincidence the husband was informed that his wife also had died suddenly. The husband then came to California and spent many years on the Comstock lode. Subsequently the supposed widow came to this city, and for several years conducted dressmaking parlors on Geary street. lliness crept upon both, and by a combination of circumstances they were simultaneously led to Healer Truth’'s parlors, where their reunion occurred as narrated. This is not the only strange event that is connected with the career of Healer Truth In this city. His achieve- ments have been and are now the won- der of the medical men everywhere. His cures, effected in the mildest manner, are in many respects marvelous. Pa- tients who were for years hopeless crip- ples have thrown away their crutches after their first treatment at his hands. Persons who were totally blind have rejoiced in a complete restoration of their sight. Opium fiends, men with lost vitality, women who for years suf- fered from debilitating weakness have cause to rejoice at the fate that brought them in contact with Healer Truth. Many persons who have been cured recently, and not a few who have been mentioned in the press, have objected to the use of their names, for the rea- son that they have been annoyed by numberless visitors who called upon them for a verificagjon of Healer Truth’s cures. For this cause many have requested that their names be withheld from publication. Among these last week was one woman cured of female weakness of eighteen years standing, another of goitre, severa cases of nasal catarrh, one of catarrh of the stomach, several of lost vitality and one of a terrible skin disease given up by other physicians. Mrs. M. J. De- boise of 2127 Mission street, who was a victim of hip disease, was, after a few treatments, radically cured, and she has discarded her crutches. Miss Dora Gardmeyer, formerly of 216 O’Farrell street, but now residing in Livermore, Cal.,, could not hear herself talk f years, and was losing her power of speech when she met Healer Truth. In less than six treatments she was, to her great joy, permanently cured. The absent cures of Healer Truth continue to increase in number. With every mail come the assurances of his victories over disease of long standing which had become chronic. Hundreds of letters are received daily from all parts of the country asking for terms, methods of treatment, etc. These com- munications are treated with the strict- est confidence, and not a single com- plaint has thus far been heard. Mean- while Healer Truth's offices are the Mecca of unfortunates of every walk of life, and the results to all have been highly gratifying. Not a single failure thus far has been scored by Healer Truth—a record unequaled by any medical practitioner in the State. Hun- dreds of unfortunate poor have been treated free of charge with astonishing result: ® functions =2 wo- THE HOME REMEDY _ it i for FEMALE COMPLAINTS " if trey 6o wroag.
