Reported to be Performing Wonders
in a Little Town in Indiana.
If the reports of the wonderful
i healing powers of Billy Mays, a for-
‘mer Clearfield county boy, are cor-
| rect, the days of miracles have not
passed away, or else the man is im-
bued with a supernatural power be-
yond the knowledge of man. Accord-
New Carlisle, Ind., he is now engag-
ed in healing the sick, the halt and
the lame of that place and the cures
he has already effected are simply
marvelous. But read the story of
this wonder-working man as sent
broadcast; it is at least interesting
and worth considering from a scien-
tific standpoint:
New Carlisle, Ind., Nov. 29.—A
“healer” has come to New Carlisle.
He has laid his hands on the halt and
lame and they have passed on “heal-
ed.” The evidence of what he has
done was found here today, but how
he did it baffles explanation by medic-
al science, and even the “healer” him-
self cannot explain. He is called the
“miracle man.”
On a hot summer day last June Joe
| Carr, the hardware man at New Car-
i lisle, stood in front of his store wher
! a. perspiring young fellow, of heavy
{ build, slouched up to him:
| “Know where I can find a_ garage
| right handy hereabouts?” asked the
| stranger. “I gotta a breakdown.”
“Up on the next square,” answered
Carr, biting off the end of a cigar and
feeling in his pocket for a match.
“Like to smoke?” asked the young
man as Carr struck a match and
broke the head off. ;
“Let’s see the cigar,” said the
young man. He took it, squinted at it
with cne eye, rolled it between his
palms and handed it back. :
Carr put the cigar in his mouth,
and immediately spat it out with an
expression of keen disgust.
“What in thunder did you do with
it?” demanded the hardware man. “It
tastes and smells terrible.”
The young man chuckled a hearty,
guileless laugh as he held up two
clean muscular palms to show he had
used no drug on the cigar. ©
That was the first cure’'in New Car-
lisle. Today hundreds come by train
and automobile for the magic touch
from those pudgy palms which the
devotees stoutly assert remove pain
and disease.
When Carr finally recovered from
his astonishment, he asked the young
man, who was again concerned about
his automobile, what else he could do.
“My name is Billy Mays, and I cure
folks with my hands,” explained the
stranger. “I’ve always been doing it
in a small way just for fun, but I'm
on my way from Pittsburgh to Long
Beach, California, where all the crip-
ples and sick folks go, and I'm going
to make a regular business of it. My
old jit busted down, and I expect If]
have to stay around here for a while
until I get it fixed. Know anybody
around here who wants to be cured ?”
Carr did know a friend who was
very ill, indeed. His friend was the
village doctor, Dr. James Burke Way-
nick, who had lived in the community
all his life, and had helped bring into
the world half the younger population
in town. ;
Doctor Waynick was almost help-
less with rheumatism and paralysis.
He had been an invalid for twenty-
eight months and it was said his days
were numbered. *
The doctor looked up from his in-
valid chair as the two men entered.
He was not greatly impressed with
Mays’ appearance, short, powerful,
pudgy hands, mild blue eyes, hair
thick and low on the forehead.
“Where do you feel the worst?”
‘Mays asked. The question is quite
habitual with him now.
.. Without removing any clothing
whatever, the young man applied his
hands, rubbing gently, but firmly. A
new spark of light came into the old
man’s tired eyes. A smile came over
‘his face.
“I can’t believe it. Never heard of
such a thing,” exclaimed the doctor.
But he felt like stirring himself. He
felt thrilled with the pulse of grow-
ing vigor. There was a tingling sen-
sation that permeated like oil from
the hands of the stranger.
“This is wonderful! I can be cured.
What’s happening I cannot explain,
but I am coming to life again,” he ex-
claimed over and over again.
After that Mays did not repair his
ing to a news story sent out from |
“Too well.”
| young man’s wife. It was she who
| had inspired him to drop his work in
‘the Toledo shipyards, where he had
been running a riveting machine at
$20 to $25 a week. He had often cur-
ed his friends, but never thought of
accepting pay. Now he treats as
many as 230 “cases” a day, and
' charges all the uniform price of $1 a
treatment.
Today, outside the sanitorium was
a line of people, some with crutches
and others being borne on chairs and
stretchers. The reception hall was
filled with people. On the left was a
parlor crowded to overflowing. All
, eyes were turned to the portieres that
hid the dining room from view.
By dint of edging and squirming it
i was possible to enter the dining room
through the hall door, six or eight
people sat about the room. Through-
| out there was an awe-stricken silence.
| In the center of the room stood Mays.
| Propped up on a box on a chair in
| front of him sat a little girl about 4
| years old. Her eyes were half closed,
| and it was evident that the reasoning
| power of the little brain had never
| fully developed. Mays caressed the
| head and moved his fingers over the
| eyelids. Beside him stood an anxious
i mother, her face animated and beam-
ing with hope. . .
“How does it feel, darling?” she
asked eagerly as a pleased smile
spread over the features. The child
did not answer until the question was
repeated several times. Then she
burst out with rapid ejaculations:
“Tickle, Tickle! Tickle!” she laugh-
ed. A stylishly dressed woman
crowded her way into the room and
whispered to Mays as he helped the
little girl to the floor.
“Please, you must come with me,”
.she pleaded.
But Mays calmly stepped over to
the next person in line and helped
him to a chair. He was very prosaic.
There was not the slightest evidence
of mysticism.
“But, lady, I couldn’t do that. You
will have to take your turn,” he said.
“These folks have been waiting for
hours, and they’d bawl me out for fair
if I left them to see your father.”
Members of some of the most
prominent families in Indiana have
come here for treatment. Among
these are members of the Studebak-
er family and the Olivers, of plow
fame, and one of the first to benefit
was Leo Cassaday, living three and
one-half miles outside of New Castle.
He was afflicted wth rheumatism.
Mays was interviewed while he sat
in a car massaging through heavy
clothing the body of Frederick Rosti-
ser, of South Bend.
He says he is 29 years old and was
born on a farm near Clearfield, Pa.
No other members of his family had
ever shown signs of this mysterious
power. He had worked as a common
laborer and was also a pugilist. He
said once he got a decision in a fight
with Gunboat Smith. ;
“And how does it work with you?”
Mr. Rostiser was asked.
“Two weeks ago I was so helpless
from paralysis that gangrene had set
in on my left foot,” said Mr. Rosti-
ser. “I have had fourteen treatments.
Not a sign of gangrene remains and
I am able to walk a little.”
Public Schools Prepare Most College
Students.
Public High schools of Pennsylva-
have prepared more than 92 per cent. |:
of the total number of Freshmen en-
rolled this year at The Pennsylvania
State College, according to figures re-
cently compiled by A. Howry Espen-
shad», registrar of the College. Of
the High schools that have sent stu-
dents to State College this year,
Scranton Central High leads the num-
erical list, having twenty-five of its |
graduates in the present Freshman
class. State College High usually
heads the yearly list, but Scranton
won out this fall by one more student.
Altoona, Harrisburg, and Philadel-
phia schools stand high in their per-
centages this year.
