Explanation of An Alleged
Wonderful Miracle. ;:
SANDFORDTOHISCRITICS
Miss Olive A- Mills Asserts That Af
ter Having Died She Was Brought
to Life by the Chief of the Holy
Ghost and Us 8oclety.
If the testimony of all the one hun
dred and fifty inmates of the templo
Is to be believed, tho Rov. Dr. Frnnk
Sandford, Chief of the Holy Ghost
and Us School, and leader of the
world's evangelization movement, with
Its headquarters at Shlloh, Me., has
raised from tho dead Miss Olive A.
Mills, who has been for some tlmo a
dweller of the temple.
People In his section who have been
watching the progress of affairs on
the Durham sand hill are at a loss to
understand how this latest manifesta
tion at Shlloh shall be charact.erl7.ed.
The ocattu.'cd population about Is
composed of hard-headed Yankee
farmers. The events of tho last four
or five years on the 1.111 are almost loo
much for their credimllty and yet In
the next breath after expressing
doubts as to some things they will tell
the listener that they have found Mr.
Sandford and his disciples the best
cltlzana the town has had. They pay
their bills promptly; they feed tho
hungry. All are welcome nt the tem
ple. The persons who dwell thorn
devote themselves to a life based up
on all the precepts of the Diblo to tho
letter.
In seven years Sandford has built
the great templo without passing tho
contribution box, has erected a chil
dren's building near by a structuro
of stone and has completed and
quite fully equipped a $2,r 000
brick building that la called "liethes
da," and which In used as a hospital
for the healing of persons by tho pow
er of God.
In this building of Bether.ila was
wrought the alleged miracle that has
attracted such wide attention. Winn
a bare outline of the story had I), i n
publis hed In the local papers, and had
made tho rounds of the press, tho mull
lor Shlloh (the temple baa a postofilca
of Its own) Increased to hundred:! of
letters dully. People all over the Unit
ed States have been asking for addi
tional facts and aeeki v: sorroho ration.
Miss Mills has made tho following
Written statement:
"I had been 111 for several days ut
Shlloh, but I was not very much wor
ried at first. Then I c;rew woi-ho. The
elders nt Shlloh prayed for ino, but. 11
r.plte of their appeals. I know 1 paused
out of this life. 1 knew when my j;'.v
dropped. It was death. Then foi- a
time I was In darkness. It Roemcd Vi
mo na though I was groping nbfrit
somewhere and somehow, tryln;: tn
find exit from some place in wh'ci
1 was imprisoned. Then It soem'td
that. I rose rradunliy out of nnd ni-ovo
my body. Tha '1' In mc roso. I don't
havo any Idea what this second B if
looked like. I never thought of tint
part . I simply understood that I rose
above what I realised was the body In
which I bad dwelt. I could look down
upon it. . I eoeld see the people gath
cied around it as it lay on tho bed.
"Then Mr. Sandford come in and
looked at me nnd knelt. Oh! I was so
afraid that ho would pray loudly.
Voices were something awful to mo. I
felt I knew Just what all werg thinking
about. I didn't need words. Ho
prayed In a whisper. That brought
quiet. Then it seemed to me that I
was content to drift away. Soma
force Impelled me away from the room
and those friends. It seemed that I
went through a valley of darkness, or,
passing through a dark tunnel. I felt
rather than saw that there was lif;ht
a great radiance at the other end.
Slowly I drew forward into that light.
And as the light gleamed brighter and
brighter my joy grew more and mora
profound. I knew that I was approach
ing the Kingdom of God Almighty. I
was afraid Just a moment there In
the dark; then I got out of tho fear
Into the great, wonderful peace of God
that I shall never forget. I know t
went almost to heaven. I know I
know that, for the joy touched my
spirit. As you approach a vineyard
you scent the fragrance of the grapes
before you get where they are. Well,
I was near enough to heaven for the
fragrance of it to touch my spirit. It
was beautiful!
"Then, from away back somewhere,
came thinly and faintly the words, 'In
the name of Jesus of Nazareth, Olive
Mills, come back.'
"And again I was over the body from
which I had departed. The people
were gathered about. It seemed to mo
that this poor, Biinken casket of flesh
was some old, soiled, discarded gar
ment. I rebelled at putting It on
again. But I knew that there was
good reason for this command that
had been laid upon me. After what
I had experienced I was in no mood
to withstand tho commands of God.
So I went back into my body.
In the section round about Shlloh
there are all sorts of expressions. Tha
cloiTymen of Lewlston and Auburn
preached sermons on the matter, for
It has excited much religious Interest
In these two cities. These clergymen
have been interviewed. All of them
Btate their conviction that Mr. Sand
ford Is sincere, but misguided. When
the expression of these, opinions was
laid liefore Mr. Sandford he said:
"These men, though honest in their
intent, do not believe that God cap
do this. They practically say so.
Therefore. It wil never fall within
their experience to witness such manl
testation of the power of the Holy
Ghost. For If God should answe:
doubt with success He would be put
ting a premium on unbelief, and prac
tically dethroning faith. They who did
not see this thing stand counter to
many other worthy Christiana who did
seo it. I never enter into contro
versies with the churchmen. I have
no patience with huir Bplitters. I don't
preach. I practice. Arid, therefore.
the Holy Ghost does by me us He i
agrees In His Hook to do by evory
niun who will follow out His com
mands, not in their own roundabout
wuy, but in His direct path. Let us
be cuuUotis how we strive to muliu
God out r ipir."
The Tralr Uappy.
'Of Course the onlv triilv linnnv tnnn
Is the niaa who devotes bis llfo to do- j
ing good for others," said tho corn fed
philosopher. "That Is the ouly occupa
tion a man can engage In in which poo

FACT8 ABOUT BANANAS.
Why the Red Banana Has Disap
peared Phases of the Trade.
Red bananas are so scarce nowa
days as to bo practlcnlly a rarity;
the prevailing banana ls yellow. Twen
ty years nnd more ago the red was
tho prevailing banana and tho yellow
the raro one. Tho change from red
to yellow was duo to commercial rea
sons; tho yellow banana is more prof
itable. The yellow banana requires less
care and time In cultivation, and so
costs less In that stage. It sticks to
the stem better than the riM banana,
and so stands handling better. There
lire one-third more yellow bnnanas to
the bunch than red. With all these
marked advantages In its favor the
yellow banana has practically driven
the red banana out.
With this great scarcity red ban
anna now bring fancy prices; It may
be ten times as much as yellow ba
nanas. With yellow bananas at $1
or $l.fiO a bunch red would be worth
from $6 to $11, and there would be
fewer in a bunch. Red bananas sell
nowadays In tho fruit stores as high
as twenty cents apiece. The compara
tively few bunches Imported nro takert
by dealers in fine nnd fancy fruits
as novelties, the rarity In largo meas
ure determining the price. It inlisht
be asked why, with red bananas at
such a price, num are not. cultivated;
to which the answer Is that If more
were raised the price would go down
again, Hiid there would be no profit
In raising them for the general de
mand. In competition with tho more
economically produced, more prollflo
nnd better shipping yellow bnnanas.
The red banana uppearn to bo now in
Its scarcity like some other kinds of
comparatively rare trulls, or, Bay like
game. Some people prefer the llavor
of the red banana, sonic prefer that
of the yellow; It Is probable that the
great majority would have no choice;
and the far lower price nt which tho
yellow banana can be offered to tho
individual consumer settles the ques
tion. Uananas were never before so
cheap as they have been In very re
cent years. Formerly a luxury that
was rather costly than otherwise, t It o
banana Is now a cheap luxury; very
good bananas can now he bought com
monly in the streets lu the season at
a cent apiece, or ten cents a dozen,
such as formerly cost two or tinea
tiint'8 as much, l-'oi im ily bananrs
were 1 rought to this country In sail
ing vctsels, In slick fast sfiioonon,
which, with any sort of favoring con
ditions, made quick trips; with ad
verse weather, if long continued, tho
cargoes rotted. Now banana;; are
brought by steam, lu fast steamers
built especially for the fruit trade.
These steamers may, of course, be
held up by storms, but they are not
likely to bo; commonly they land car
goes In a specllled timo, and tn the
best and most suitable condition for
handling and marketing to tho best
advantage and with the least possi
ble waste, and with advantage as to
evenness of supply. The great built
of the banana trade In this country is
now controlled by a company which
banana importers have organized.
The bananas eaten In tills country
come from Costa Uiea, llrltlsh and
Spanish Honduras, Columbia, Jamaica
and Cuba; that is, from countries
around tho southern part of the Gulf
of Mexico and uround the Caribbcia
Sea. Tho bulk of tho fruit from iNrt
Gulf countries goes to New Oilaci.s
for distribution, that from tho other
countries goes to Atlantic ports. For
many yenni bananas have had a more
or less wide distribution from tiio
ports of receipts; but tiiy woro never
before so widely distributed, nor s i! ',
so cheaply at interior points, as now.
llananas are now sold, not as rarltlos.
but more or less commonly, in all
parts of the country; practically
everywhere; the eastern part of the
country being Biippllod from Atlantic
ports, and the Mississippi valley and
the western half from New Orleins
Costa Rica bananas are now shipped
from New Orleans over pretty much
all the western country to tho Pacific
coast. N. Y. Sun.

point there cuu be no doubt."
"Whut are likely to bo tho terms of

"I can say nothing on that subject.
I am cut olt from all means of com
munication from my government. I
have absolutely no notion how they
are Inclined to regard tha rumored In
tention of tho llrilluh government to
surrender Ladysmith. The Boers will
look upon tho result with equanimity.
It will make little or no difference in

Wonderful Discovery of a
Washington Inventor.
A NEW POWER FOUND
If What He Claims lo True, Vc GH.ill
Soon Need No 8tc.im, Eloutrio
l!y, Wood, Coal Nor Oil The Sjn'j
Heat.
A Washington Inventor claims to
have solved a problem upon w'.itc'.i
(-.dentists have expended years of
thought and toil. As is well known
to every school boy, the source of nil
power ls the beat and light of the sua.
To collect thiB heat and make it servo
mankind at night and by day; to
; pi ,j
(Dr. William Culver.)
make It do man's drudgery at practi
cally no cost; to make It hew his wood
and draw his water, run his railroad-;,
furnish light and heat 'o cities, propel
vessels across tho ocean in short,
to Kiibstltuto it everywhere Tor tlu
present use of coal and wood and oi'.i
er finds has been the dream of Vn
Cons. Herschel and of Ericsson. Pro
lessor I.angley, of the Smithsonian
Institution, has written powerful
words calling attention to the neces
sity for such an Invention. lie has
declared that the human race must
depend In the future- upon the sun for
heat and power. It Is a method for
tho utilization of this heat of the s, n
in u practical way that Dr. William
Calver claims to have discovered. In
substantiation of his claim, lie attains
results which would seemingly con
vince tho most skeptical. Dr. Calver
seems thoroughly wrapped up In thn
work that he lies accomplished and
the work that ho has in view.
"I believo, In fact, I know," said he,
In answer to a question, "that I hava
solved the problem of the direct con
version of the sun's rays Into heat,
which can bo used on u far cheaper
commercial basis than coal. I have
hlso devised a method for the Btorago
of this heat, so that It can be used at
any desired time and place. I feel
that beyond a doubt I have settled for
ever the question of tho actual com
mercial harnessing of tho direct rays
of tho sun nnd of their adaptation to
tho needs of man.
"There is no limit to tho Intensity
of the heat which I enn generate.
With the concentrated rays of tho
sun collected against the mountain
Bide I could melt the rocks and causa
the earth to burn llko a living volcano.
I can produce In one spot a heat vast
er and more fierce than that on tho
face of the sun Itself, and a greater
heat than any now attainable through
the combustion of known substances
or through tho agency of tho eloctrlo
arc, which now furnishes tho fiercest
heat known to man..
"Tho cost of this heat for commer
cial purposes Is not a tithe of the
cost of digging and raising coal and
cutting down timbor. With heat thus
generated I shnll bo able to smelt easi
ly the hurdest and most rebellious of
the ores. With It I shall make a qual
ity of glass which cannot exist at pres
ent. With it an innocuous gas can bo
made at a far less cost than that of
our present coal gas.
"This motor consists of the simplest
arrangement possible. Each of the
Buiull Hut mirrors ls itttuched to a
gearing device by which It can be
moved at pleasure. Each or all of
these little surfaces can bo concen
trated on a very small surface at any
desired distance. In pructico they are
concentrated on tho reservoir in the
centre of the yard. Each glass re
flects from twelvo to fifteen degrees
of bent from the sun."
"How ubout tho point of concentra
tion when tho sun moves around?"
was asked.
"That ls simple enough," s;ild Dr.
Calver. "The frame moves, too. It
Is geared and adjusted In such a sim
ple manner that It can be moved along
the circular track by even tho nio.it
ignorant of attendants. One man could
Ueop a great number of these ma
chines focused on. a single point. All
that ls required is tho occasional ad
justment of some pulleys.
"But how about tho cloudy and
rainy days?" was asked.
"Erom the 1,000 mirrors In the lab
oratory bore I have generated on the
coldest days sufficient heat to wold
copper and Russian Iron. I have
burned a brick half-way through In
less thau an hour. I have concentrat
ed the combined .boat from tho mir
rors on an unburned brick, and have
burned It so hard that It scratched
Bteel."
Dr. Calver picked up a stick from
the frozen soil. He mounted the res
ervoir und focubsed the heat of the
mlriois upon a portion of the frozen
wood. In a moment It cracked,
Binul'.ed und burst Into a fiorco flame.

The Life of it llij; (inn.
Tlio bigger the gun the sho; ti.r
Us life. These nionster;., the 110
ton guus, cannot be ree'eoued up
on to tire more than SO full-charge ;
rounds without becoming use-1
li ss. Tho (i7-t )ii gun can liro ltd i
rounds, while thn (i-inch breech- J
loader is good lor -100 or -l.'ii full-1
charge rounds. The reason of
this is that tin ten-Hie heal and
corroding eil'ect of tho powder
wear away the bore at the chum
ber end, and then th'i shell does
n i! catch the rilling. There is
nothing for it tln u but to send
the gun to tho factory and havo
the barrel bored and lined with a
ut.'.v" tube.
Moving 'Day dimes on Sunday.
1 'ersoiis who contemplate mov
ing in tho spring,:- hou!d remem
ber that April 1st will conn.' on
Sunday this year. As there is a
superstitious idea that, moving
on Friday or Saturday is surb to
be attended with bad luck, the
probability is that Ihe popular
moving day this, year will be on
Monday, April I'd. !ut as all
people arc not superstitious, con
sider. ible moving will be done o,,
J'Yidiiy and Saturday precnling
th" first of April.
i" Torts men are under sentence
o:'r."athiu Pennsylvania than ut
a:i.y prior period in tlio State's
hi '.Lory, and tlu robability is
that 1!KK) will bo a notable year
for exocutious iu .this common
wealth. So far Governor Stouo
has iu his. possession papers in
dicating tho conviction and sen-
once of fourteen murderers.

W hen il K;iins Death.
The inhabitants of ladysmith
dug holes iu tho earth to be used
as shell-proof habitants. But,
say Answers, some of tlio devices
that have been adopted in tho
sieges of the past could scarcely
be bettered.
During tho siege of Paris cer
tain employes of a safo deposit
company advertised that in re
turn for food iu a due proportion
they would be happy to accom
modate lodgers iu tho iron under
ground safes, and tho clerks of a,
deserted bank clubbed together
and lived in something Uf;o peace
and security in th.j big iron
strong-rooui of their establish,
nient. And one war correspond
ent of llm timo related how lie,
in Paris, accepted tlio hospitality
of a small tradesman iu tho habit
usually of selling sand aud saw
dust to private houses and to
wineshops. When tho big gun.s
began to throw shells, this man
put all the sand and sawdust into
bags, and lived iu tho center
thereof.
During the American Gii!
War huge bales of cotton were
employed everywhere, not alone
to protect human beings.but pub
lie buildings also. This is really
only what tho people of 1 Jradford,
in lorks, did years ago with
their wool bags when Croiiuve.ll
threw cannon balls among them.
"When, iu tho American war,
Richmond was besieged, ladies
of the South wore iu tho habit of
crawling into theceuler of a huge
heap of sool at a certain point,
and, black though it made them,
it saved their lives, for several
shells exploded harmlessly after
penetrating the mass.
I'l'-TO-DATi: Sl'I'I U VISION.
A couuly in Ohio' lias a lady
road supervisor, and she has or
dered all the hills in her district
to to bo "cut low necked" and
"f.ealloped" at tho foot, the val
