ADMITS JUS SHAME
Professor and So-Called Wife
Unmasked.
A Couple Who Hava Imposed Upon Asheville
Exposed in a Communication to The
Ci'.izm.
(Special to the Nows and Observer.)
Asheville, N. C., Nov. 22. —A few weeks
ago there came to this city a man and
woman who registered as Prof, and Mrs.
11. H. Bridgewater, and advertised as
magnetic healers. Thereby hangs a tale.
Tho Asheville Citizen this mornlntr re
eelvqd, through the m£il, a communica
tion from the manager of the Canadian
School of Magnetic Healing and Sug
gestive Mental Therapeutics, saying in
effect that the late principal of that
institution, Prof. H. H. Bridgewater,
recently, unknown to his wife and fam
ily. left the institution in that city in
company with a woman known as
Pearl McGinnis, of Signal. Ohio, that he
stole text books of the institution and
other valuables of the association and
came to Asheville to build up a sani
tarium. Today, when asked of the mat
ters, Prof. Bridgewater acknowledged
the truth of the charge in regard to his
relations with the woman, but denied
that he had appropriated any "courses
of the institution” from the Toronto
school. He declared that on the con
trary he had founded the school at
Torontto and that those now making
charges against him were former em
ployes. He said he and Mrs. McGinnis
are not married, but expect to be as
soon as he can get a divorce from his
wife. Pending proceedings for the
divorce from his wife this woman has
assumed his name. He says there has
been no attempt to disguise movements
of relations from any one who has a
right to know. The principal person
formulating these charges, he says, is a
woman who was a former patient he
took intc his employment anil who de
veloped a feeling of jealousy toward
Miss McGinnis. He adds, “If I can’t
live in Asheville I rill simply have to
leave, that’s all." «
The case of Reedy Hcrdon, alias Gus
Jerskins, went to the jury today.

SALESMEN’S TRIALS.
Bad Food is One of Them.
Road travelling is rather hard on sales
men. Irregular hours, indifferent hotels
and badly cooked food play smash with
their digestion.
An old Philadelphia traveller tells how
he got the start of his troubles by using
Grape-Nuts. ‘Tor years I was troubled
with a bad stomach, which gave me con
stant headaches and pains all through
my body, caused by eating improper food.
T spent considerable money on doctors,
who said T had indigestion, and after
taking medicine for a year and it doing
me no good, I decided to go on a diet
but tho different cereals I ate did not
help me. If it hadn’t been for the ad
vice of a friend to try Grape-Nuts, 1
might be ailing yet.
I commenced to fool better in a short
time after using the food; my indigestion
left me; stomach regained its tone so
that I could eat anything, and headaches
stopp d. I have gained in weight, and
have a better <’omploxio:i than I had for
At many hotels, the salesmen
will have nothing in the line of cereals
but Grape-Nuts, as they consider it not
only delicious, but also beneficial for
their health in the life they lead." Name

GOMPERS IS CHOSEN
The Federation of Labor Re
elects the Old Officers.

(By the Associated Press.)
Now Orleans, Nov. 22. —The American
Federation of Labor today re-elected the
following officers:
President, Samuel Gompers.
Fist Vice-President, James Duncan.
Second Vice-President, John Mitchell.
Third Vice-President, James* O’Connell.
Fourth Vice-President, Max Morris.
Fifth Vice-President, Thomas 1. Kidd.
Sixth Vice-President, Dennis 1. Ilayes.
Treasurer, John B. Lennon.
Secretary, Frank Morrison.
Fraternal delegates to the next labor
convention of Great Britain, Max S.
Hayes and Martin Lawler.
Fraternal Delegate to Canada, John
Coleman.
Place of next convention, Boston.
The above officers were elected by the
American Federation of Labor today.
Without exception they are hold-overs
from last year, the fraternal delegates,
however, not being classed as officers.
There were but two contests for posi
tion. Frank Duffy, of tho Carpenters,
ran for Fifth Vice-President against
Thomas I. Kidd, of tho Wood-Workers,
and was beaten nearly out of sight. John
Coleman was given a good race for the
distincion of fraternal delegate to Can
ada by Mack Taylor, but won on the
second ballot.
The cities presented As candidates for
the next convention were Boston. Phila
delphia. San Francisco/ Milwaukee, Law
rence, and Lowell, Mass.; Austin and
Galveston, Texas; Cripple Creek, Colo.,
and Asheville, N. C. All but the first
four were afterwards withdrawn, the first,
ballot resulting as follows:
Boston. 5,312; Philadelphia. 1,1188; San
Francisco, 2,386; Milwaukee, 260.
The committee on the executive coun
cil’s report declared against "govern
ment by injunction,” but contained the
following sentence:
"We recognize the authority of the
courts to issue injunctions to prevent the
destruction of property and violations of
laws.”
This created a decided stir in the con
venion. Delegates Fureseth, Agard and
Duncan declared that the committee had
declared in favor of the very thing against
which in th* earlier portion of its report
it had protested.
The debate closed by the committee an
nouncing that it would withdraw the ob
jectionable sentence from the report.
The report was then adopted.
The convention was in almost contin
uous session from 9 o’clock in the morn
ing until a late hour at night, and many
matters of routine, but of no general in
terest were disposed of.
SHOT IN COLD BLOOD
A Report Says Fitzgerald was
Fired Upon From
Behind.
By the Associated Press )
Guatemala City. Friday, Nov. 21.
William A. Fitzgerald, of Grand Rapids,
Mich., was shat and killed today by W.
Godfrey Hunter, Jr., son of the Unitea
States Minister. Hunter tired tho shots
from behind Fitzgerald. With James O.
Baiely, of Kentucky, secretary of the
United States legation here, standing by
with a drawn revolver. Both then ran
away with their revolvers in hand. They
were arrested, but now are at liberty,
through Minister Hunter claiming im
munity for them. It is asserted that
Fitzgerald had no chance to defend him
self and that he was an inoffensive man.
The lives of the Hunters and that of
Bailey are threatened by indignant
Americans.
““ - \
Minister Hunter’s Denial.
By the Associated Tress.)
Washington, Nov. 23- —The State De
partment today received reports from
Dr. Hunter, Minister at Guatemala City,
and Consul-General McNally, at tin
same place, regarding the case of God
frey Hunter, Jr., and Secretary Bailey,
of the American legation there, who were
parties to the shooting affray resulting
in the death of William Fitzgerald yes
teiday. Mr. McNally’s latest advice
gives tnc affair the aspect of a shocking
and cold-blooded murder, making it ap
pear that Secretary Bailey was a part}
to the crime, holding up Fitzgerald with
a revolver in front, while Hunter shot
the man from behind.
Minister Hunter’s statement is a flat
contradiction of this report. . He says
that his son, Godfrey, and Secretary
Bailey, while sitting on a bench in a
public park, were attacked by Fitzger
ald. who struck Hunter and snapped a
pictol which failed to explode. Hunter
thereupon shot and killed him. The ex
istence of a conspiracy between members
of the American colony, including Con
sul-General McNally, is charged by Dr.
Hunter. It is known here that a bitter
personal feud has existed for several
y-ars between Dr. Hunter and Mr. Mc-
Nally. The State Department will wait
to from the Guametalan govern
ment before taking action in the matter.
OUR GREAT BENEFATOR. #
X. C. Christian Advocate.
It is not generally known that the
late Mr. J. R. Wcddington, of Mecklen
burg county, is the greatest benefactor
of the Western North Carolina Confer
ence, in that he bequeathed to the Confer
ence the bulk of his estate, amounting
possibly to some $23,000 or $30,000. In
addition to this he had already given
the school plant at Wardlaw, a cut of
which is herewith published in order
to give our readers an approximate con
ception of the magnitude of his gifts.
This plant has cost something near $lO,-
000, ani includes about 80 acres of valu
able land. A good school is in operation
under the direction of Prof, rhillips, a
local preacher of our church. The
school is hold and operated by a local
board of trustees. This is a good ex
ample to he followed by other men of
means. Our Conference Fund should be
increased every year by such benefac
tions.

“My ambition in life is not money,”
says Prof. Adkin, the great healer, who
is daily curing men an<i women of the
very worst diseases after learned doc
tors have pronounced their cases hope
less. His method of treatment is some
what mysterious, but the fact that he
cures the sick when all else fails, when
the doctors lose hope and science des
pairs is demonstrated beyond contro
versy. No matter whether you liavo

said that Prof.Adkin is the most interest
ing, remarkable and wonderful physician
healer of the ago. His only talk, his
only thought is How to cure Incurables,
to bring hope to the hopeless, joy, sun
shine and happiness to the miserable
and suffering. He is truly carrying on
a grand work. He is President of one
of the largest healing institutioos in

Mrs. Dauhert. of 2i>22 North Tenth
St., Philadelphia, Pa., writes: “Your
treatment has restored my mother to

cle, as the very best physicians gave
me very little hope. They said her
trouble was incurable. It seems as if
she had almost risen from the dead.”
Mrs. C. A. Brownell, of Dane, Okla
homa, writes: “I was tortured for
months by terrible pains in my head,
and this, together with loss of sleep,
began to affect my mind. Your treat
ment has done w’ondcrs for me. I
sleep well nights and those terrible
pains in my head are gone. Thank
God, hope has taken the place of de
spondency and I have a new lease of
life.”

Rochester, N. Y., writes: “When I ap
plied to you for treatment I was as I
might say a physical wreck, suffering
from pains in the chest and stomach, also
poor digestion and on the verge of ner
vous Arostration. I had tried most ev
erything and had about given up when
I tried your treatment. My pains have
gone, my nerves are strong and I feel
like a new man. I wish you success In
your noble work.”
Mr. J. N. Purdy, Purdy’s, N. Y., writes:
“I have been suffering from severe stric
ture and bladder trouble for over three
years. I was given up by my physician
as incurable. My urine had to be drawn
from me and the scalding and burning
was intense. My sutfering was almost
unbearable. I took advantage of your
offer, and to my great astonishment I
was relieved the second day. Your cures
are certainly wonderful.”
If sick be sure to write Prof. Adkin
at once for free help. Be sure to state
the leading symptoms of your disease,
how long you have been sick. etc. Your
letter will be treated with the strictest
confidence and receive immediate atten
tion. Address Prof. Thomas F. Adkin,

They toll a story of John F. Carroll, of,
Tammany Hall, to prove that much of i ]
his success is due to his sublime self-;,
confidence, says the New York Times, j
When he was a clerk in the Court of I'
Sessions, all the court attendants ex- j
cept Carroll stood very much in awe;
of Recorder Smyth, and nothing would!
induce them to cross him in any way. j
Carroll had one failing. Often when im
portant work was on hand Carroll would
be missing and could not be found any i
where. This state of affairs continued
for some time, but one day the recorder
could stand it no longer. His oft-repeat
eil cry: “Where’s Carroll?” was heard,
and the attendants knew the court was .
angry.
“Confound that fellow!” shouted Re
corder Smith, "he is never here when he
is wanted. I tell you, this thing cannot
he kept up. This court isn’t big enough
to hold both Carroll and myself. One of
us will have to get out.”
When Carroll showed up the next day
one of the court attendants told him
of the big rumpus that had occurred
over his absence. Whereupon Carroll
said in all seriousness:
"I'm mighty sorry Judge Smyith is
going to resign!”
Prof. William Phelps, commonly j
known as Billy, who has repeatedly been,
declared by the students as the most
popular instructor at Yale, recently
adopted a system of marking examina
tion papers in which he used letters in- j
stead of numerals, says the New York
Times.
"What does this ‘A’ on my paper sig
nify?” asked a puzzled student.
"Admirable,” smiled the professor.
"Mine has a ‘B’ on it,” said another.
"Stands for ‘bully.’ ”
"You’ve put a ‘C’ on mine. What’s ;
that for?”
••Well, ‘C’ is rather commonplace.”
"And mine has a ‘D.* ’V
"Because it’s damnable,” chuckled the i
professor.
A student with an “E” on his paper
started a question, but thought better
of it and didn't care to have his curiosity
satisfied as to whether it was excellent
or execrable.
