T3W SERMON' ON THE MOUNT.
B. TV. Darling, a son of Dr. Darling,
of: Sunnyslde, has excited a great deal
of cemoe&t In California as the "Shirt
less Prophet."
Darling spent his early years In Ore
gon, and his peculiar religious beliefs
-were irell known to all those acquaint
ed Krtta his family. He had a hahlt
upon certain occasions of disappearing
from bis usual haunts for the purpose
of "going through the -wilderness," as
be termed it. "What he did during
these periods of hibernation, no one(
ever knew, but -when he would reappear
be -would be eo thin and emaciated as
t scarcely be recognizable. He would
ure so tobacco. Insisted upon dieting
MstFelf. and at times upon total abstl
sosce from food. The prophet was a
rtu4ent for a short time at Stanford
Cnlverrtty. where he was known
for bis eccentric views on diet
&a& tun baths. After be left
the educational Institution, he -was
eagagea In raining for a time, then
disappeared from this part of the state.
The etegatar nature of the doctrines he
professes aad practices is found In the
following from the Los Angeles Times.

"Blessed is he that practices "vital cos

hair and long life."
Sieesed is the man that feeds accord
ing to the rules of vital dietics,' for ver
I'v be shall be strengthened and the trees

Blessed arc they "who conform to the
principles of 'vital genetics, -whose in
crease Is in season. Their children shall
rise up and call them blessed and they
shall Inherit the oarth."
"Blesd are they tvho hear my words
and keep them, for thoir"s is life everlast
ing. These are the simple beatitudes tossed
to the breezes from the apex of "Look-
out Mountain" in this city yesterday af
ternoon by freak E. W. Darling, Hhe
shirtless prophet," who has of late been
haunting Los Angeles and the adjacent
hills and has started a nude colony.
According to announcement. Prophet
Darling was at his bill-top rendezvous at
the appoints hour. Nor was he without
an audience. Pully 200 men. women and
children climbed the steep incline, and
before the hour was over got their
money's worth. As a preacher. Darling
did not prove a hot number, but as a
demonstrator he "made good" to the sat
isfaction of every auditor.
Arrayed in a scrap of a sleeveless shirt,
a pair of trunks and a brown skin that's
all Darling, the apostle of nakedness,
mounted his hill-top pulpit, announcing
Health" as his general subject. "But,"
said the speaker. "I shall take Tor-my

IS POSTER COMPETENT?
JUDGE WEBSTER WILL DECIDE
THE QUESTION.
He Is Asked to Remove Guardian of
John R. Foster, If Latter Can
Manage His Own Affairs.
"Is John It. Foster competent to man
age Ms own affairs and dispose of his
property? This question is to be de
cided by Judge Webster. Last July Judge
Webster appointed B. G. "Whltehouse as
guardtaa of the person and estate of Fos
ter, sad yesterday the matter was before
the County Court on the hearing of'a peti
tion to remove Whltehouse and restore
Fester to his natural rights.
Yesterday was the time fixed in the
State Circuit Court for the trial of the
suit of Whltehouse as Foster's guardian
against Dora W. Savage and her husband.
Frank C Savage, to set aside a deed to
SSJJ?" SS". ""SK S !
invents sirecis vaiuca ai m'.wj. iac urai ,
The deed
-was executed by Foster in favor of Mrs.
vui ui. J". I
Savage, who is
relative. Foster has I
as much more property which ho can dls
pose of if the court decides that he has
mental capacity. His wife is dead and
he has no children, but has relatives in
the East with whom he has not been on
ir.tiau.te terms. If Mr. Foster is de
clared Qualified to handle his own affairs
St Is more than probable that the Savage
lanuly will get the remainder of his pos
ecsstoas at his death.
The hearing yesterday morning began
with a law argument. R. A. Lelter, rep
resenting the guardian, argued' that the
County Court had no jurisdiction to open
-up the ca&e. which had once been tried
out. Testimony was taken at the trial j
and the matter had been fully gone Into.
W. W. Cotton in response argued that
the petition set forth that Mr. Foster is
competent to manago his own affairs,
while it was not conceded that he was
ever unable to do so and the court must
grant a hearing.
Judge Webster decided to do so, and
overruled the demurrer to the petition,
Dr. H. W. Coe, a specialist in nervous
end mental diseases, was called as a wit- I J"l "l aans' J-nc report rurtner states
xiess, and testified that he -visited Mr. Fos- ' that, ose E. Hamilton has In her pos

twice alone and .once In company . ?rty.f the deceased, which she has re
with Dr. Harry Lane and Dr. William- V deliver, and the court is request
eon. The visits were long and he conversed I ed to Issue a citation for her to appear
with Foster a groat deal, going over his
business career and interrogating him
-upon other subjects. He also made a
physical examination.
Dr. Coo said Mr. Foster Is afflicted with
ataxia aphasia. He is able to think out
what he wants to say, but has difficulty
-with his speech and Is not able to ex
press himself wolL This had no effect
on his mental condition or his mind. His
thoughts are slow, as might be expected
of a man of his age, ovor 70 years.
The witness stated that -the difficulty
Mr. Foster had in speaking might have
led some of his friendsto think it was
right to have a guardian appointed for
him t attend to his affairs, and that his
mind was affected. Mr. Foster could think
cf a word sometimes and not speak it,
and did not talk well when hurried.
The doctor further testified that he
ppoke to Foster concerning his property
and asked him If ho knew what he was
doing when he deeded the property to the
Savages, and he answered that he did.
He said he had earned It and thought
he had a right to do what he pleased with
It, his wife was dead and he .had no chil
dren. He said ho had other relatives,
hut they had no Interest in his affairs
and he had nono in theirs. He appeared
very fixed on that point.
In answer to a question by W. A. Clc
land. attorney. Dr. Coe said: "I think
he has mental ability to conduct his own
affairs."
Dr Coe. was subjected to a long cross
examination by W. D. Fenton, one of 'the
counsel for the guardian. The experience
of the witness in this class of diseases
was Inquired Into fully. Ho was asked
concerning senile dementia, apoplectic at
tacks, relative to Mr. Foster's physical
condition and many o then things. He ad
mitted that Mr. Foster Is a very sick
man. so much so that he cannot walk,
hut maintained that his mental capacity
is still good.
The hearing will be continued at a fu
tturc date, when other witnesses will be
examined.
At ae time B. G. Whltehouse was ap-
and more of It That's what we want-
life and more of it. Do you grasp my
meaning I say more of It. But you
can't get It by chewing beefstaks and
mutton chops. You can't get it by dodg
ing the sunshine and by bundling up your
bodies In woolen clothes. ' That Isn't the
way God intended we should live. How I
pity you poor people who live down there
in the smoke and dust of so-called civ
ilization. Look at the way I live free as
heaven and as sound In mind and body
as my maker Intended t should be."
By way of Illustration Darling invited
his visitors to inspect his abiding place.
At the highest point of the hill he has
pitched his tent, and close by dug a "cy
clone cellar," where he sleeps with but
the skies above him. His larder is stocked
with fruit from evergreen trees and nuts
his sole diet.
Discoursing upon this manner of life
and Its merits, Darling amused his audl
tors for nearly an hour. In closing his
"Sermon on the Mount," he said:
"I will summarize by throwing out three
propositions. If we would live forever
and enjoy life we must observe:
"Vital costumics God intended that we
should llvein the sunshine. True, the
Bible says something about fig leaves; but
they were not necessary until man went
contrary to God's plan. We should get
these woolen rags from off our backs and
let the sun get a crack at our skin. If
we should live this way for a time we
would soon have a hair covering to keep
us warm.
"Vital dietics this Idea of eating flesh
food is all wrong. The stuff people put
Into their stomachs is enough to rulnj
health and shorten life. The fruit of the
evergreen tree Is man's natural food.
"When we get back to such a diet a race
will spring into existence that will live
forever.
"Vital genetics By vital genetics I
mean the science of sexual economy. The
curse of social life Is the early marriage
and giving rein to passion. Man should
never marry before his fortieth year, and .
the marriage relation should be indulged
in but for the purpose of propagation.
This rule adopted, our boys would not be
found In prisons or asylums.
"As for myself, I expect to live for
ever. In time I shall found a colony in
Guatemala, and there during certain
months of the year teach the science of
(shirtless) living to pilgrims who would
like to experiment under favorable con
ditions, away from the vulgar eyes of
civilization."
On a clear morning any one with a
pair of field glasses pointed toward the
top of Lookout Mountain will be able to
make out two nude men chasing about
playing ball, throwing hand springs and
rubbing each other down. This Is the reg
ular morning constitutional of the "Shirt
less Prophet" and his disciple. Then a
siesta in the sun is taken, giving "Old
Sol"- a chance at the entire body. A trip
to town, the gathering of a little fruit
and a little missionary work occupies the
day. Such is the life of these teachers
of nature.
Prophet Darling announces another hill
top sermon for next Sunday at 3 P. 1L
pointed guardian testimony was submitted
to Judge Webster of physicians and
friends of John R. Foster relative to his
condition.

T00 FOND OP'CREAM.
Youth Arrested for Drinking Dairy
Product Another Man Paid For.
Fondness .for cream Is responsible for
the presence In the City Jail of young J
Howard Walker. Not that the wholesome
"beverage had Intoxicating 'effects, but be
cause the youth appears to be dangerous
ly susceptible to the taste of Ue fluid.
He was caught smacking his lips over a
can of cream at Eleventh and Gllsan
streets at daylight yesterday. There
would have been nothing Irregular about
this proceeding had he not been standing
on another man's doorstep, drinking an
other man's cream.
It happened, however, that the other
man .was not asleep. His cream had been
disappearing nearly every morning o
late, and ie was lying in wait with mur
der in his heart, for what he supposed
to be some milk-hungry; thieving cat.
While It would have been entirely In good
taste to have murdered the suspected cat,
under such conditions, the master of the
house controlled his Inclinations in this
direction when he saw it was a big, over
grown lubber of a boy that was stealing
his cream. He summoned a policeman
and turned the youth over to the officer,
who locked him up.
Walker pleaded guilty when arraigned
before Judge Hogue, some hours later.
He said he was cream-hungry, but had
no other explanation. The court will pass
sentence today, and la the meantime the
youth's parents will be notified of hl3
arrest.
Apples GROWATmGHAiffiTUDE
Fine Specimens Raised on Farm 4800
I- Feet Above the Sea.
Some fine specimens of Oregon apples,
raised at an altitude of 4S0O feet, were
brought to The Oregohlan office yester
day and are a strong argument against
the old theory that good fruit cannot be
raised at an altitude of over 4000 feet.
The apples were raised by Moore & Good
speed, frultralsers and gardeners, In the
Cornucopia Mining District. Forty acres
are devoted to fruit on the Moore &
Goodspeed farm and the entire crop is
disposed of to the mining camps In that
vicinity. At the present time more than
seven tons of fruit have been housed In
the fruit houses on the ranch, but a sud
den storm a few days ago caught the
farmers unawares and nearly ten tons
of apples and pears on the ground are
covered by two feet of snow.
A. Tyler, better known as "Cap" Tyler,
brought the specimens to this city. There
are seven varieties of apples in the dis
play, all of them fine specimens of their
respective kinds. Mr. Tyler has been In
the Cornucopia District some time and
recently disposed of his mining Interests
in that district to Jonathan Bourne.

BIG DISCOUNT FOR CASH
OWNERS OF MORTGAGE MAKE
LIBERAL OFFER TO CHURCH.
Pastor of Centenary Methodist Con
gregation Asks That S1 1,500
Needed Be Raised at Once.
If the members and friends of the Cen
tenary Methodist Episcopal Church, East
Ninth and East Pine streets, raise $11,500
in money and pledges, payable in ten
months, the entire debt of $17,500 on the
property will be paid off. This statement
was made by Rev. W. B. Holllngshead,
the pastor, at the morning service Sun
day, when he had a heart-to-heart talk
with the congregation.
The obligation Is owned by the Methodist
Church Extension Society, which came to
the rescue on tne solicitation oi .Rev. j.
W. Gue, then presiding elder, at a very
critical moment, and the'society has made
this offer to discount the debt some $6000
to enable the church to pay It off. Mr.
Holllngshead Is very anxious that the
members shall take advantage of he of
fer, and ho believes they will. This debt
Is the legacy that has come down from the.
completion and dedication of the big stone
structure as a result of the litigation over
the James Abraham estate. Had Abra
ham, lived there Is no question but he
would have cleared the: debt off. Nearly
'1000 people heard him say when the church
was dedicated that he would pay all obli
gations that the members could not pay,
and, furthermore, if any member found
himself too poor to pay his subscription to
come to him and he would assume It. But
death'camo before he carried out his puti--He
promise, and his estate has been dis
sipated through litigation until even his
widow Is left penniless, or nearly so, and
the 'church must now pay the debt. Last
year the church spent $5000 on Improve
ments, and the pastor thinks that the
whole debt should now be lifted.
DEMAND TUITION MONEY.
Dispute Between VVIIIsburg and Mil
waukie School Districts.
There Is some chance of a row between
the directors of the Wlllsburg and Mll
wauklo school districts over the tuition
for about 15 pupils living in' the Wlllsburg
and attending in the 'Milwauklo district.
Through Clerk Mrs. Maggie Johnson de
mand has been made on Wlllsburg for the
money for these 15 pupils, but so far it
has not been complied with, and it Is un
derstood that the Wlllsburg directors will
refuse to turn over the amount, about $150.
They claim that the pupils have no busi
ness to attend the Mllwaukie school, when
they have a. good school at home.t
John Olsen and William Wills, who live
la the Wlllsburg district, send their chil
dren right by the Wlllsburg .Schoolhouse
to Mllwaukie, a proceeding that Is not re
garded with .favor by directors of the
former district A year ago the Wlllsburg
School,' which Is In a Joint district of
Multnomah and Clackamas counties, was
nearly broken up and tile pupils went to
Sellwood and Mllwaukie, but now good
teachers are employed, a first-class school
Is maintained, and the directors say fam
ilies in Wlllsburg Should patronize their
home school. Mandamus proceedings may
be resorted to by the directors of the
Mllwaukie district to collect the school
money from the neighboring district, but
there seems to he a question whether the
money can be collected by law or not.
FALLS TWENTY-FIVE FEET.
Horace G. Westbrook Severely In
jured Yesterday by a Fall.
Horace G. Westbrook, employed by the
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
Company, missed his footing yesterday

Veteran Policeman Suspended by
Chief Hunt Because of Uniform.
Patrolman Jacob Hoseley, one of the
veterans of tho police force, was sus
pended from the service by Chief Hunt
yesterday, because he failed to buy him
self one of the blue capes. In which po
licemen have been disporting themselves
of late. The Chief terms this Insubordin
ation, and Issues the mandate that Of
ficer Hoseley shall not draw any pay un
til tho police committee of the Executive
Board has probed Into the trouble. The
suspended officer turned his star over to
Captain Bailey when tho shifts changed
yesterday forenoon.
The Chief states that Hoseley has been
reminded a couple of times, but has ex
hibited a deplorable lack of inclination to
heed.
Officer Hoseley says he ordered the cape
as directed, hut It was not ready in time,
and that, therefore, he cannot be right
fully accused of Inattention to orders, or
whatever It Is that makes tho basis of the
charge.
It Is said that there Is no strong tie of
mutual affection between the officer and
the Chief, and has not Been for some
years.

VThose who have ever felt its keen, cutting pains, or witnessed the intense
suffering of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is right
ly called "The King of Pain. "
All do not suffer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia
ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn
asunder. Othersfeelonlyoccasionalslightpainsforweeksormonths, when
a sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night
air brings on a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps, and leaving the pa
tient with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time.
An acid, polluted condition of the blood is the caise of every form and
variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory
and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an
end to your aches andpains. External applications, theuseof linimentsand
plasters, domuch toward temporary relief, but such treatment does not reach
the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but S. S. S., the greatest of all
blood purifiers and tonics, does cure Rheumatism by antidoting and neutraliz
ing the poisonous acids and building up the weak and sluggish blood. It is

Pinkfaam's Vegetable Compound.
Of all the diseases known with which
the female organism, is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal. In fact, un
less prompt and correct treatment is ap
plied, the wearypatientseldomsurvives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave careful
study to the subject, and in producing
her peat remedy for woman's ills
Iiydia E. Pinfcham's Vegetable
Compound made sure that it con
tained the correct combination of
herbs which was certain to control
that dreaded disease, woman's kidney
troubles.
Read TThat Mrs. Weisslitz Says.
"Deab Mbs. Pejkhaii: For two
years my life was simply a burden, I
suffered so with female troubles, and
pains across my back and loins. The
doctor told me that I had kidney
troubles and prescribed for me. For
three months I took his medicine, but
grew steadily worse. Myhusband then
advised me to try Iiydia E. Pink
liam's Vegetable Compound, and
brought home a bottle. It is the great
est blessing ever brought to our home.
"Within three months I was a changed
woman. My pain had disappeared.my
complexion became clear, my eyes
bright, and my entire system in good
shape." Mrs. Paula. Weisslitz, 176
