and Died In tha Hospital.
Few men have the same degree of
newspaper notice as J)r. X-eallo K.
Keeley, o( Dwight, 111. He is at the
head of a company running about 20
institutions in various parts of the coun
try efltablished for the treatment of ine
briates and persons similarly diseased.
The treatment followed remains a secret
with Dr. Keeley. It is known as the
bichloride of gold cure, and is applied
by Dieana of hypodermic injections and
drnughtH. Great public interest, one
need not Bay, is manifested in Dr.
Keeley and his operations, rendering an
excellent portrait and sketch of the man
moat welcome.
hit. KKBLEV.
The doctor is of Irish extraction. His
early years were spent in St. Lawrence
county, New York. He is a well
educated man and a graduate in medi
cine. In the war he was an army sur
geon, and was interested in the study of
inebriety, which he became convinced
was a physical disease and accordingly
to be treated as such. At the close of
his experience in the army he settled at
Dwight, III., where he continued experi
ments, resulting in the announcement
that, after 20 years of laborious appli
cation to the task, he had set himself to
accomplish, he had discovered a cure for
drunkenness.
Dr. Keeley is a well-built man, over
six feet high. He is a courteous and
affable person, hut his appearance and
manner nusireHt the strong decision and
endurance wli.ch one acquainted with
hi career woucd naturally expect to see
in him.
1 be relape into drunkenness of Col.
Julin t . Minns, the literary champion o.
the bi-elilorlle oi gold cure lor dip-Oman
a, and Ins deatu in the workhouse
hospnal cauxed a great deal of talk.
Many oi Dr. K eley'n patients have been
persons of some prominence and have
gone to him without iniorniing their
friends. Nearly every city in the coun
try has been represented at Dwight, and
none or those who have returned has
come forward to prove that the cure
does not always work. It has been no
ticed repeatedly that patients who have
not rolap-ed have no objection to saying
that they were at Dwight. In fact,
nearly all of them soem to have a desire
to tell all the world about their experi
ence. One of the "cured," when aHked
about this recently, replied:
"Why shouldn't 1 talk about it?
Thoso who believe in Dr. Keeley do not
look upon drunkonnoss as a vicious
habit, but as a disease, for which the
victim is no more responsible than is
the sulleror from smallpox. It Is no
more a reproach to a man to sudor from
tho one than the other. What wo do
Hire is to conviiu'e the world of this."
How far tho general belief in the
treatment will bo all'ectod by Minos' re
lapse it is hard to tell. A physician
who has been interested in the treat
ment said in regard to this:
"While Mines' case does not prove the
worthlessness of the Keeley treatment,
physicians will not have faith in allogod
euros until Keeley does what he should
have done before explains to the medi
cal fraternity the properties of his med
icine. It is not necessary that he should
abandon his rights to the prollts of hie
cure, but it is the belief of the best phy
sicians throughout the world that when
u nhvsician discovers a great roiuody for
human ills he should make it known, so
that its actual worth can be tested. Some
physicians go further and say that in
such an event tho cure ought to beeiven
free to tho world, and that the glory of
the discovery should be sulhciont for tho
physician. 1 do not go so far as that. In
this age everybody is hustling for tl'io
almighty dollar, and I do not see why the
physician who works hard all his hie is
not entitled to the benolits of his
brain work. Hut it would not have been
necessary for Dr. Keeley to abandon the
prolits when he took into his conlldeiue
physicians of repute. On the contrary,
their verdict in (avor of his cure would
have increased his nractice and yet es
tablished professional conlldonce in his
methods. I tlrmly bolieve that if
Keelev does not Bpeediiv make known
his secret all confidences in it will be
loBt. Many physicians believe that
drunkenness iB a disease and that there
will some day be a cure for it. Others
don't agree with this view."
It is unquestionably true that physi
cians generally have regarded Dr. Kee
ley's cure with suspicion. Many have
openly expressed their belief that it was
not genuine. Drs. W. A. Hammond,
T. 11. Outlier! and K. N. Carpenter
have wriiten articles combating the the
ory involved in the Keeley cure. It has
been suggested that some of the good
results ascrilied to Keoley'B cure are due
to hypnotism. All the patients unite
in saying tnat Dr. Keeley is a man of
great personal magnetism, and that he
has wonderful intlueiice over his pa
tterns. Some of the accountB of the
manner in which he receives patients
are likely to raise the impression, that
bis iiersoual force acting on the diseased
condition of mind found in the most
habitual drunkard makes the latter be
lieve whatever he wishes them to.
When proiesaional hypnotist! have
given public performances they have
chosen drunkards just recovered from
sprees as the best subjects.
Dr. Oeoige F. Shrady, editor of the
Medical Record, said yesterday: "The
case of Colonel Mines will, I belive, kill
popular contidence in the treatment,
l'hveiciani have always distrusted the
cure, not eo much because it was kept
secret as because it was irrational. 1 lie
public believed it because it was founded
"on specious argument and backed up
with persom 1 experiences that seemed
incontestable. I'eople teemed to have
- -r iavj .ar-(ri.
the notion that the doctor! who ex
pressed disbelief were jealous. But
when so serious a matter as this is to be
considered wise physician! are con
servative. No one will trust life and
health to a physician who ii always
running after every new nostrum and
who has a fondness for new
things. To return to the effect of
Colonel Mines' death upon the popular
belief in the Keeley cure, it
iB not safe to condemn a system because
of one failure or a score of failures. But
these failures I have seen a number
will set people to thinking of the irra
tional side of Dr. Keeley's treatment.
Then, I believe, it will be seen that the
whole treatment is founded on unphya
iological principles. It will draw atten
tion to the fact that there is . always
something suspicious about remedies
that are kept secret. They have not
proved their right to be."
COLONEL UII.EB' CANE.
Colonel Miles began a prolonged
spree during the last weok in October,
and on November 5th he died at the
workhouse hospital on Klackwell's
Island.
When he returned from the West in
May last he engaged rooms for himself
and hia 16-year-ol I son on East Kigh-
teentn street. During tus stay lie was
strictly temperate. He talked to the
women of the house of the evils of in
temperance and showed them a decanter
shaped like a bottle labeled "Gold Nerve
Cure" that stood on his mantel. He
said that that was the only drink he
cared for except soda water. The land
lady said last night that she was abso
lutely certain that during the seven
weeks he was with her he never tasted
liquor. He gave up his rooms in the
beginning of July and went to Ocean
Grove with his son. Wh in he returned
in September the rooms were occupied
and he went to live elsewhere.
He was not seen again at the
Eighteenth street address until Sunday
last, when shortly before mi Inight re
peated ringing at the bell and kicks at
the door brought the landlady to the
hall.
"I was shocked to see him," she said.
"He was dirty and ragged and unable to
stand. A man on eaeli side of him was
holding him up. When they let go of
him no loll down. 1 made them take
him away. If I had had a spare room I
would have let him have it in memory
of what he was only a few weeks before.
He was one of the quietest lodgers
I ever had, sr.tistied with everything and
always cheerful. He was devoted to his
son, and worked from early morning
until late at night at his writing. The
people in the house often spoke of his
industry. He was very proud of hia
work on the gold cure for drunkenness,
and made every one he met read it, Hia
friends took him away on Sunday after
I had persuaded him with much diffi
culty that he did not live here. On
election day he came again. He wub
intoxicated then, but went away when 1
told him to. Late that night he came
again, but went away when we did not
open the door."
Mines was taken to Black well's Island
with four other prisoners from the York
ville prison. They sent him to the
workhouse hospital, and there Dr.
Hutchings saw him at 3 o'clock.
"He came up to me," said the doctor,
"as soon as I entered the ward. He ap
peared dazed and staggered as if suffer
ing iroin vertigo. He smelt strongly of
alcohol and bad every appearance of
uaving been drinking continuously. He
was very ill and weak. I ordered him
to bed at once. He complained of no
pain, but said tnat he was weak and
giddy. 1 treated him lor alcoholism.
An hour later he had a convulsion. We
applied remedies, and he seemed more
com ortable. At 8 o'clock that night
(Wednesday) I was called to him again,
lie was in convulsions tonic convul
sions. He became rational alter we
checked the convulsions and said that
he had been on a big drunk for a week.
He told me not to be uneasy about the
convulsions, as he was always attacked
that way when recovering from the ef
fects of a spree. Then he went to alee).
"At four o'clock in the morning the
convulsions seized him again, followed
each other at about one-half minute in
tervals. He was quite calm and appar
ently suffered no pain. Ho died in the
seventh convulsion. His condition was
iindoubtly duo to alcoholism. He was
under observation for a short time that
it is impossible for me to give the exact
cause of death. The convulsion was not
necessarily the result of drink, but the
condition of his system made him liable
to the attack."

Minos was a remarkable character.
He was physically small and slight, and
very nervous in manner. Ho was born
in l'aris and was 5b' years old. His
father was an Episcopal minister in
l'aris. The family came to America
when he was about 7 years old and set

Ho was ordained and received a call to a
church in Bound Brook, Conn. Altera

At tho commencement of the war he
entered the army as chaplain of the
Second Maine regiment of volunteers.
Later he dolled his ministerial garb and
became colonel of the First Maine, lie

Sackamknto, Cal., Nov. Ill Assembly
man limner appeared before the su
preme court this morning to urge hie
petition for a writ to prohibit
Judge Wallace from proceeding in
trying the charges of perjury and
bribe taking. Ex-Senator Campbell
made argument on behalf of Bruner.
Campbell declared that Judge Wallace
had overturned the usual customs by
las proceedings in this case. That he
had transgressed the law by appointing
an elisor before It was shown that the
sheriff and coroner were disqualified.
He read Iront the codes to prove this
position. Another point was that the
rules ot the superior court require presid
ing judges to preside over the drawing of
grandjury. These rules, unles suspended
have all the effect of a statute according
to the decision of the Supreme court.
No order for the suspension of rules was
made, therefore they were in force and
binding on Judge Wallace. The law
distinctly directs that the names of
grand jurors be drawn from a box ac
cording to a Hit prepared bv the judges
of the Superior court. At least nine of
San Francisco1! grand jury were not so
drawn. This is, therefore, fatal to it!

Under Co itrol.
St. Louis, Nov. 18 Tho most disas
trous tire which has visited St. Louib in
many years, started in the furnace room
of the large dry goods house of Penny &
Gentles, southwest corner of Broadway
and Franklin avenue, about 4:30 this
morning. The watchman immediately
turned in an alarm and then
a second and third within ten
minutes. The flames spread so rapidly
that a general alarm was given which
brought out the entire department, but
before the engines arrived Penny and
Gentle's and the Sonnel'eldt Millinery
Company's mammoth establishment,
Famous Shoe and Clothing Company,
occupying the entire four-story build
ings on Broadway, between rranklln
avenue and Morgan street, were in
flames. Within two hours all the walls
had fallen, and nothing was left but
ashes and bent and twisted iron girders.
Opposite is the immense dry goods
store of D. C. Crawford CO., wnicn
waa badly damaged by heat, causing a
probable loss of $50,000.
On Franklin avenue, opposite Penny
and Gentles, the whole row, from
Broadway to the alley, was badly dam
aged. Adjoining Crawford 8, on Broad
way, the following business houses were
burned out: McDonald Bros., hats; "II.
G. Clements, shoes ; Charles Stix, gents'
furnishing and cloaks j Mrs. Tobin, mil
linery; F. Wendell & Co., New York
Millinery Company, Square Dealing
Company and the Weinman houses.
At 10 o'clock the fire was spreading in
a northward direction on croaaway 10
some dwelling houses. If the wind does
not abate soon the firemen who are al
ready exhausted by the terrible fight
they have had will be unable to
do very much towards checking the
spread of the flames. During this
Are the handsome residence of Captain
John A. Schudder, in the ariatocratic
portion of the city was destroyed by fire.
Loss here will exceed $75,000; fully in
sured.
The total loss will probably exceed
1,000,000, but reliable figures are not ob
tainable at present. Two firemen were
badly injured.

The fire has burned itself out. The
firemen deeerve great credit for their
noble work, considering the high wind.

at Bellinghaui Bay, Washington, has
arrived here, "there never Deiore was
such an outlook for cheap coal," said
Mr. Wardner. "There lias been much
more mined thia year than last on the
Pacific coast, and vessels coming here
for wheat are bringing a large amount
of coal. Last year there were many
strikes in Washington and British Co
lumbia minea. This year these mines
have been most of the time producing
steadily. This with other reasons has
caused coal to be cheap, and it will be
cheaper vet this winter. Dealers say
that coal which last winter sold for $14
and 16 per ton is now worth but 10.
This is for the best article; from that

which was destroyed bv a fire which
started at an early hour this morning.
Among tbose burned to death were Mrs.
Schnabel, her two children and Mrs.

LATER NEWS ADDS TO THE HORROR.
New York, Nov. 17 Half a dozen or
more lives were lost early this morning
by a fire in a row of frame buildings in
Brooklyn. The flames were discovered
at 2:20 o'clock on the third floor, four
story building, No. 120 S'oatrand avenue.
The buildings were occupied chiefly by
iamiues oi mechanics. The names
spread with great rapidity and in half
an hour the four or Ave buildings were
blazing at once.
Harry and Edward Ashworth were
rescued by firemen from the top floor
of No 120, both badly burned. A
butcher named Schnabel, who lived on
the second floor of No 120, rushed into
the street with a child in his arms. He
said his wife, one of his children, his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Shellenberger, and
her two children, Minnie and Willie,
14 and 17 years old respectively, were
unable to escape and were burning to
death. He ran up and down the street
in an excited way, calling on the firemen
to save them.
The wildest excitement existed among
the people in the neighborhood, and the
streets were filled with half-dressed cry
ing women and frantic men. At 3
o'clock the whole row, consisting of 20
frame houses, were in flameB, and every
available engine in Broyklyn was fight
ing the fire. At this hour it is impossi
ble to tell how many lives were lost, but
one entire family is missing, and no
trace can be found of five members of
the Schnabel family.
A 1'a ent that Will Likely Ore illy
Communication.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 17 Today
the United States patent office issued a
patent to Emile Borliner, assignor to the
Bell Telephone company, for a combined
telegraph and telephone which has been
pending in that office since June, 1877.
It is understood that the Bell company
believes thia patent covers the features
necessary to a practical use of telephones.
Inventors do not take that view of the
patent. They think that when Bell
patent expires in March, 1893, they will
be able to produce practical telephones
that do not infringe on the Berliner
patent. The issue of this patent is the
second step taken by Commissioner Si
monda and possibly the last which it
will be oecessary to take to dispose of
the long existing tangle of telephone lit
igation in the patent office.

Butte, Mont., Nov. 17 A well organ

here to rid the town of the Chinese ele
ment. The subject was taken up about
a week ago by the Workingmen's Union,
which haa a large membership. The
mutter was called to the attention of the
Miners' Union and other labor organiza
tion, which sent delegates to the meet
ing held last night, at which it was de
cided to begin the elfort three weeks
from date.
It is a question whether or not the
movement will succeed. No violence is
to be resorted to, but every effort will
be put forth to discourage the employ
ment of Chinese in any capacity, and a
aystematic boycott against Chinese
laundries and restaurants will be started.
From the census of the Chinese taken
by the labor organizations it is ascer
tained that they have a population of
1000 in Butte.

A Detective's Story.
New York, Nov. 17 A sensation that
threatens to be far more than a nine
days' wonder occurred at the barge office
yesterday. It came as the culmination
of a detective trip of Special Imuiigraj
tion Commissioner H. J. Schulters, and
in the shape of the broadest charge of
grossest immorality that ever was lev
elled at immigrants to this country. It
attacked IB of them and implicated some
of the crew of the ateamship Servia.
Schulters, it appears, disguised him
self as an immigrant and took passage
on the Servia to this country in the
Bteerage. When the vessel arrived yes
terday he made known his identity to
Superintendent Weber and demanded
that 10 of the immigrants be dotained,
charging them with immorality and
Lwitn Deing aasisteu pauperu.
rVrinUnol Wnlwr asked the commis
sioner to make a note or specific charge
of immorality against any one of the
immigrants and he would investigate
the case. Mr. Schulters then made a
formal charge of immorality against
Inzoberg Peterson, a 17-year-old Swed
ish girl. He mentioned some ot the
crew of the Servia as having been her
accomplices in vice. The girl denied
the charge with venemence, maue am
dnvits as to her innocence and requested
an examination by a physician.
Colonel Weber promptly reieaaeu ner,
as well aa the other immigrants on Mr.
Schulters' failure to prove any of his
charges. The Peterson girl has been ad
vised to bring an action for criminal
slander against the commissioner. Mr.
Schulters says he will press the matter
at the meeting of the commissioners to
day. A Hard Character Who Shot Two Men
Hanged Quickly by an Angry Mob.
Neiiiaht, Out., Nov. 17 Jake Harris,
the Great Falls gambler, who shot and
probably fatally wounded Marshal Treat
and Joseph LeaBard, of that city, on the
depot platform at Neihart, was taken
iroin jail yesterday oy a crowu oi niuig
nant citizens and hanged. The shooting
waa entirely unjustifiable, and when the
surgeons announced that both men were
nearly dead a crowd of tietermined men
gathered quietly and quickly.
At five o'clock the crowd went to the
jail and seized Harris and a rope was
adjusted to his neck. There was no
time wasted. The murderer was asked
if he had anything to say and answer
ing in the negative, the rope was thrown
over a limb of a tree and in a second the
body was dangling in mid-air. After
the lynching the crowd quietly dispers
ed. Jake Harris was conspicuous in
many bloody fights and it is no surprise
to see him go by the lynch route,
althouge his friends maintain that he
was crazy.

distance of 87 miles, their treatment in
Mexico making them anxious to leave it
promptly. Their coining was a great
surprise, as two hours before a telegram
was received here giving an account of
their arrest and request for aid.
Wednesday, November 11, they crossed
into Mexico from Carrizo on a govern
ment buckboard with four mules, driven
by Arnold, a noted old army man with a
permit from the deputy collector at
Carrizo, Texas, and the Mexican custom
house otiicials paasing them at Guerrero
without objection, at which point they
were unmolested and treated with much
consideration by officials and citizens.
At Pasos, 30 miles from Guerrero, a
drunken militiamen, a State ranger,
arrested them on suspicion and would
listen to no explanation. In thia place
they were under guaid three hours.
Thence they were taken under guard to
Agua Lequas. and on the 12th they were
disarmed and taken before the judge,
who treated them considerately. While
prisoners there a cavalry battalion and
infantry company arrived from Mon
terey. At 8 o'clock in the morning they were
started to Cerralvo, reaching it at noon.
There it became evident they were held
as revolutionary suspects on informa
tion given by the ranger, who constantly
followed them during the time they were
under arrest, but no information was
given them for the reason of their de
tention, although often asked for. At
Coralzo the guards' major paaaed them
with much anxiety and at 5 p. m. Cap
tain Bourke wired their arrest to Consul
General Sutton at London, from whom,
at 8 p. m., came the answer that he had
taken prompt meaaures'for their re
lease. They were told by the judge that they
would be released in the morning, but
the prisoners insisted on immediate re
lease on the telegram, which was grant
ed at 8:30 p. m. without any apologiea
from the officials. They reached Mier
at 7 a. m. yesterday, where they sought
General Lorenzo Garcia who expressed
great regret for the arrest, stating that
all the parties engaged in it Hon Id be
punished, the ranger especially.
Argument Begun in the United State.
Supreme Court.
Washington, Nov. 16 Argument was
begun in the United States supreme
court today in the anti-lottery cases, in
which the constitutionality of the
recent anti-lottery law is involved. The
suits on those brought by the United
States against John N. Rapier, publisher
of the Mobile Register and George
W. Duprey, the publisher of the
New Orieana States for violation of the
law prohibiting the sending through
the mail of newspapers contain
ing lottery advertisements, coun
sel haa already submitted briefs giving
the line -of argument, and these have
been published in the press. The
first question came up when J.
C. Carter, the well known New York
lawyers asked the pleasure of the court
as ' to the time to be allowed
for argument, the court suggested
three hours for the lottery
people and two for the government.
This was not satisfactory to Carter, who
wanted five hours.
