jgrECIAL TEttGBAM TO THIDISP1TCH.1
Youngstovx, May 19. Jeter J. Van
Etten. an alleged minister, who under the
clerical guise has been defrauding gulli
ble people, was arrested at Toledo last night,
and Marshal Williams left for that city to
day, and will bring him here to answer a
charge of defrauding a widow, Mrs. Julia
A. Homer, out of 4,000 worth of property.
Van Etten came here last fall ana repre
sented that he had been sent out from New
York to distribute tracts among the heathen
of Ohio, and secured boarding with Mrs.
Homer.
He was apparently a devout man, offering
a blessing at each meal, and alwavs carried
a Bible. Mrs. Homer had some trouble In
dispossessing a tenant and Van Etten sug
gested that she should transfer the property
to him, and he would oust the party. This
she did, deeding him the premises, valued
at 51,000. Van Etten at once mortgaged
the property for 52,000, secured the money
and left the city, and Ire. Homer has been
engaged since in an effort to have the deed
set aside and mortgage cancelled.
The officers claim that Van Etten has
been defrauding parties at Bavenna and
other places in the State by working the
clerical racket.

cluded to try to swim to the shore. All
were successful except one who, after en
during the horrible suffering of two nights
and three days on the open ocean, lost his
life.
During the time they were out, all they
had to eat was six cans of peaches. Fonr of

Buttaxo, May 19. William L. Pfeiffer

from him five years ago under peculiar cir

control over her that she readily agreed
to elope with him. Ada left her husband a
letter telling him that she would never
bother him; that sne lived unhappily with
him, and wanted to be as free to follow
her inclinations as the little birdies in the

Detectives searched for her but failed to
find her. Fire Superintendent Hornung
accidentally discovered the missing wife in
a concert saloon in New Orleans, where he

Newbueo, N. Y., May 19. George W.
Coon, a former policeman, and now cm
ployed in the Erie Bailway yard here, had
a miraculous escape from death last night
He was knocked down by 11 loaded cars
running down grade, and all passed over
him. He weighs 250 pounds, and is only 5
feet 6 inches high. Being rotund, it is mar
velous that the 11 cars should pass over
him without killing him. He fell face up
ward and one brake-beam tore a furrow
through his nose and forehead. Then an
other beam caught him and whirled him
over on his back. Another beam slashed
his back and tore his clothes in shreds. His
shoulders were also bruised, and when
found he was 50 feet from where he fell.
During it all he kept his head, knowing,
as he said to-day, that if a low beam or rod
struck him lie must be ground to pieces by
the" wheels. No bones are broken, and to
night he is in a fair way of recovery.

well into the fall will be on.

A TEAR ON THE SEA.
Mrs. Slocum Tells of Her long
Voyage From Brazil.
NO HONEY TO PAY. THEIR WAY,
But, nothing Daunted, They Constructed a
Tiny Sail Boat.
KOT EAGER FOR ANOTHER SUCH TRIP
New Yoke. Mav 19. Tales of Captain
Slocum and his wonderful small boat, La
Iiibertad, have been told far and wide, and
dv.nrAn( in mnrft or 1pm fican&inted with the
fact of his having been shipwrecked off the
coast of Brazil when sailing his own orig.
There he snbseauentlv constructed the tiny
craft in which he has sailed with his family
7,000 miles to these shores. A reporter went
down to the small boat, bobbing and rolling
with every ripple of the tide that flowed
around the gray stone walls ot tne .Barge
Office, close to which La Libertad was
anchored.
"Can you get in?"
This onestion was Mrs. Slocum's greeting
when her husband introduced the reporter,
whom he had just handed on board, ana
who stood at the entrance to the low canvas
covered deckhouse, the only shelter afforded
by the limited accommodations of the boat.
The hostess sat in the wee cabin on a plank
running the length and raised about three
inches from the deck. A sitting posture
was the only attitude possible unless one
chose to lie down. Mrs. Slocum is a young,
strong, finely developed woman of perhaps
five or six and twenty. Her brown hair is
brushed smoothly back from a broad, full
brow; bright hazel eyes, a frank smiling
mouth, and a chin expressing both firmness
and tenderness, are the features of an oval
face which has acquired a rich bronze tint
from months of exposure to tropical suns
and ocean breezes.
HAS HAD HEE SHARE.
"It is an experience which I shonld not
care to repeat, although now that it is
mine I feel a certain satisfaction in having
gone through it. As you know, Captain
Slocum's brig, the Aquidneck, was wrecked
a year ago last January at Paranagua.
That is a small town inhabited by natives.
Most of our luggage and some of the furni
ture were saved, but the vessel went to
pieces, and we had no insurance. My hus
band tell ill with jungle fever and we had
much trouble." Mrs. Slocum sighed and
was silent a moment.
"The reason the small boat happened to
be adopted as an expedient was because we
hadn't enough money to pay our passage
home. There were four of us the Captain's
two sons, Victor, who helped his father
bnild and navigate the boat, and little Gar
field, who is eight years old. It is a mis
take about the boat Saving been constructed
of the ship's timbers. She is built of en
tirely new wood of a very fine quality. We
were in a great lumber country and it was
easy to get the best, only it had all to be
sawed by hand, so getting it ready con
sumed much time. The only native labor
employed was in sawing planks; all the
rest of the work, every hammer stroke, was
done by Victor and Captain Slocum; only I
made the sails.
LAUNCHING OF THE BOAT.
"The boat was ready to launch on the
13th of May, and that being the day when
the slaves in Brazil were liberated we called
her La Libertad, which means liberty, in
commemoration of the occasion. It was the
21th of June before we sailed. Just there"
pointing outside the entrance "stood two
big water casks. Behind them provisions
were stowed. There's the stove over which
we did our cooking." It was a small iron
pot on three legs, in which a handful of
charcoal could be kindled. "When we
reached colder latitudes, in November, we
sometimes used it to heat the cabin, letting
the gas burn off and then placing it at the
entrance."
"Didn't yon grow weary and lonely dur
ing the long voyage?"
"The loneliness came and went early in
the voyage. The weariness grew because it
was impossible to get any exercise. There
was no chance to walk on the narrow deck,
and much of the time it was not possible
even to stand outside."
"Were you more oppressed by a sense of
loneliness when yon first embarked?"
"Yes. When we left Bio they gave us a
great send-off. Captain Slocum had ob
tained a permit to all ports, duty free, from
the marine office, and also had been granted
permission to sail under the flag of Brazil.
They thought it a great honor to allow so
small a craft to carry their colors. Crowds
of people assembled on the quays to see us
off and they cheered us wildly. It was very
exciting. Then, as the land grew dim in
the distance and finally faded from sight, it
seemed very desolate on the sea.
"In a few days, however, I had learned to
like the life on board I became accustomed
to my surroundings, and was not only con
tented but happy. Wherever we touched
the most lively interest was manifested, and
when we went ashore we were delightfully
entertained. At Porto Rico we lay two
days. The United States Consul there in
vited us to dine and drove us out to his
father's plantation, where we had a charm
ing time."
A 'WEDDING JOUBNEY.
"Are vou going on another voyage, Mrs.
Slocum?""
"Oh, I hope not I haven't been home in
over three years, and this was my wedding
journey." The young woman twisted round
and round a heavy golden ring which shone
on her slender finger and looked a good
deal more embarrassed at the statement
than she could possibly have done it she'd
been on shore all that time. Perhaps honey
moons shine longer when lovers are on the
broad sea in little boats.
Young Garfield Slocum .here put in an
appearance. He is a tanned, freckled, jolly
little chap, who says he'd like to go on an
other voyage "most any time." He dis
played some trophies a whale's tooth, a
curious bivalve with a hinge big and strong
enough for a five-barred gate, and the jaw
bones of a shark bristling with a most for
midable set of "upper and under teeth"
Sneezing Catarrh.

LACK OF LIFE.
When the pulse beats feebly: when the ener
gy is cone; when the appetite is weak and
sleep uncertain, then the body Is In a condition
of actual "low life." No matter what the causes
may have been Nature has given way. and un
less her strength is restored, disease is certain
to take possession of the body. The first thing
any doctor does in such a case is to assist Na
ture. Here are some instances:
Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue (New York)
College, savs: '"The judicious use of alcoholic
stimuiants'is ono of the striking character
istics of progress in the practice of medicine
during the last half century."
The celebrated Dr. J. w. Camwall says: "I
am most happy to say, after a very thorough
test, that for persons suffering with nervous
and general debility or any wasting disease, or
lor delicate persons or invalids, Duffy's Pure
malt Whiskey is the best tonic and purest stim
ulant with which I am acquainted."
There are no higher scientific authorities
tban these, and they speak volumes. Beware
of all bottled whiskies which may be offered
you, except Duffy's. It has stood the test of
time and is absolutely pure.

ON TE VERGE OF DESPAIR.
MR GEO. T. HARTBEYS EXPS- ;
EIBNOE.
Another Patient Whom tha PhyaWd
clans Failed to Help
Cured by Dr. Smith, tho 3fegnetJ1
Physician, at 502 Penn
Avenue.
Dr. Smith is performing some of the most
wonderful enres ever witnessed In Pittsburg.
Scores and hundreds ot invalids wno navo
hitherto been unable to find relief from tbeir
sufferings are being restored to health la large
n umbers through Dr. Smith's nrange magnetic
'power. It is exceedingly Interesting to tea
and talk with the vast number of invalids suf
fering from all manner of complaints -who ara
brought to the doctor for bis favorable or nn
favorable opinion of their diseases. It is also
Gratifying to observe the change that takes
place in many of these seemingly helpless cues.
Scores of invalids who are so weak and feeble
that they have to be carried to the doctor la
chairs and on beds are restored to health in 2
short time. Some are enred by one, some by
two macnetic treatments, while others requlra
more. The following very interesting cases
were cured by our magnetic treatment:
Mr. Geo. T. Hartley, who resides at Spring
dale. Pa., has been a great sufferer from con
stipation hemorrhoid ipiles) and from fistula
for a number of years. Pile tumors as large a
a black walnut made their appearance several
years ago, and were the cause of much suffer
ing. These tumors were often prolapsed, and
would bleed so profusely as to cause extreme
prostration. As the disease advanced four As
tola) made their appearance, and were so pain
ful that be was obliged to Eire np his business,
and was unable to perform any manual labor.
Mr. Hartrey had tried the skill of a number of
physicians but had been unable to find relief
until he applied to Or. Smith, the magnetic
physician, at No. 502 Penn avenne,. who cured
him permanently without the use of tbe knife
or ligature. Dr. Smith agreed to cure him for
a certain sum of money, which Mr. H. paid
him at the beginning of the treatment. Mr.
Hartrey was permanently cured in a short
time and may be referred to.
Mr. Feet, owner and manager of Imperial
Hall was a great sufferer from vericocele for
many years. He applied to Dr. Smith and was
Srmanently cored. He may be referred to.
r. John Foley, who resides at Millvale, was
taken with a terrible pain in his right shoulder
upward of five months ago. The attack cams
on suddenly, like a shock of paralysis. Tha
arm became useless in a few moments' time.
He could not use the hand nor move a finger.
A short time after the attack he began to ex
perience pain in the shoulder. The pain in
creased in severity for a number of days, when
it was discovered that there was an accumula
tion of pus in the shoulder joint. Mr. Foley
applied to a doctor, who opened tha shoulder
with the knife. Large quantities of pus was
discharged at the time and a fistula formed,
which continued to discharge a thin acrid pus.
In this helpless and hopeless condition he ap
plied to Dr. Smith, the magnetic physician,
at 02 Penn avenne, and was cored per
fectly. He has regained the use of bis arm.
J. C. Henderson had been tortured with piles
for ten years. He was cured by Dr. Smith la
one week.
Dr. Smith cures all forms of female com
plaints without the use of Instruments or' ex
posure of the person. He also cures piles and
rnptnra without the nse of tbe knife, or pain
to the patient, nor detention from business.
He treats and cures cancers in less time and
with less pain than by any otter known
method. .
Dr. Smith is permanently located at 502 Penn
avenne. where everybody can go from Ba."X ,
till 7 r. St. The doctor consults free and cures
after all other means fall. Ha treats every
form of disease known to humanity. Goto
02 Penn avenne and consult him if you wish to
get well. Letters of inquiry must contain two
stamps. myl9
