We were glad to grasp the band
of our old friend, District Attorney A.
J. Kearney, last Thursday, and to see
that he was Oh the mend after several
days tusseI with malignant type of
fever. The Judge looks quite enfee-
bled, but it does not take long for one
with his grit to soon recover good
health, so his many friends may rest
assured that he is all right, and will
be on deck when court meets next
month to prosecute all yiolators with
his usual vim and energy, at least
that is the wish of the EoHo.

We were shown by Mr.. Michel
Hirsch, last Thursday, o sample of
hops planted by him last May, in the
ward of David Reims, which will com
pare favorably with any that we have
everseen that were raised in Europe.
From one plant Mr.. Hirsch gathered
something like bushel, and when we
take into consideration that hops are
worth som forty to sixty cents per
pound, what o bonanza would an acre
be. One acre planted in hops would
be worth more than five acres planted
in cotton. So we say let some Of our
people try the hop industry.

Press And the Beauties.

Press Eldridge was in a state of mind
yesterday, but when the curtain went up on
his show last night he was himself again.
And it was all on account of beauty. When
he contracted with the prize beauties on
Saturday night to appear at his house, he
shook hands with himself and smiled at his
enterprise. But when the beauties returned
to the city yesterday morning from New
York, where they had spent Sunday, they
seemed disposed to forget that they were
under contract with the genial Press and
sighed for other fields than New Haven.
Press ''smelled rat" so to speak, and he
interviewed the beauties in person. When
Press brings his persuasive powers to bear
there is no use in resisting, and it soon be-
met their match. They held off until even
ing, and the genial comedian in state
of deep anxiety, for he had advertised these
beauties to appear at his house, and he was
bound not to disappoint his patrons. Earnest
solicitations were held out to them from rival
sources to leave the town, and only when the
shades of evening began to fall did they
finally surrender to the eloquence of Press
and agree to fulfill their contract. When
the house opened last evening seven of the
beauties were there-one of them, the winner
of the $50 prize, did disappoint him-and
Press was happy. These seven will Ssitive-
ly appear at the American Thea avery
evening and at the regular mat Nps
week and next, and if last nights
be forerunner of that to come
Eridge may feel satisfied with himself
trouble he experienced in securing

THE NEW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Instances OF Faith Cure Discussed
BY the Baptist Ministers.
Boston, April 27.-The serenity of the
regular meeting of the Baptist ministers to-
day was disturbed by the new Christian
science. Rev. o. P Clifford, the pastor
whose rabid attack on all popular forms of
amusement, roller skating in particular, has
been the talk of the city for several weeks,
scientists. A motion to listen to any adj
herent of the new faith present aroused Rev.
Mr. Hinckley, who declared that they could
read enough infidelity and atheism without
inviting people to talk to them in meeting.
A motion to adjourn was lost. Prof. Sherman
stated that his son, devoted Christian, had
been raised almost from death by the
new power He did not know all there was
to be known about it, but one thing he knew,
that his son was dying and is now well. Rev.
Mr.. Clifford called upon Brother Bailey"
who testified that he had been cured as well
as his daughter of serious diseases by the
power of Christian science He had not
changed his religious beliefs, but he believed
that the Lord Jesus Christ was able to save
from sickness as from sin. Rev. E. o. NAL
lory, of Lowell, said there was no need tn be
Mortified over this matter. God had ordained
the mind to be a medium of healing as well
as herbs and electricity. DR.. Bosworth
thought the theology of the matter was athe-
ism Rev Mr. Grant, of Wakefield, then
urged in a vigorous way the inviting of any
Christian scientists who were present to
speak A lady member of Mr.. Giffords
church then told of her Healing and subse-
quent belief in both the facts and theology of
Christian science. She stated that she had
lost nothing religiously, but had rather
gained. The discussion was continued for
some time, the anti-Christian scientists ut

THE COLORADO LAND SLIDE.
Eleven Bodies Taken From the Ruins
OF the Mine.


Of the Mine.
DENVER, Col, April 27.-The rescuing
party which left Leadville early yesterday
morning for the scene of the terrible cala1ni-
ty at the Homestake mine reached its desti-
nation at o'clock. Several excavations
were made before the cabins could be locat-
ed The first one found contained provisions,
etc. No bodies were found here. The bunk
house was next reached where eleven bodies
were found. One body stood erect with the
head thrown forward as if listening, the
whole position indicating apprehension. Near
him lay one of his companions in the bunk
face downward and arms crossed under the
head. Several logs lay on the body. Three
bodies were found in the upper bunk clasped
in each others arms, and SO strongly were
they interlocked as to require the efforts of
six men to separate them. One man
was found beside his bunk in an
attitude of prayer. In another part of the
cabin were two bodies crushed between fall
len timbers. The other bodies were found
lying about the cabin as if thrown from
the hunks by shock. Owing to the fact
that all of the faces were covered half an inch
with mould the features could not be recog-
nized. No doubt death was caused by suffo-
cation in nearly every case. A clock
and watch were found which had
stopped precisely at $3.50. From
letters and papers found it is believed
the slide occurred about the Goth of Febru-
airy. The report that some of the men had
been seen fortnight ago proved without
foundation. The bodies were brought to
Leadville. The victims are Martin B. Borden,
Sylvester Borden, Horace w. Mathews,
Charles Richards, Chris Harvey, Robert
Cam Dbell and John RuIneS

note asking an explanation of General Kom-
aroff's conduct at Penjdeh in view of Sir
Peter Lumsden's contradictions of the gene
RAILS statements.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Mr. Gladstone announced that Sir Peter
Lumsden had despatched Captain Stephens,
one of his staff, to London with a detailed
account of General Komaroff's doings prev
ious to and since the Afghan fight. "Until
this report comes to hand" said Mr.. Glad

Debate was had in the House of Commons
this evening upon the governments request
for vote of credit of $50, 100000 for the
army and navy. Mr.: Gladstone said that a
time had arrived when it was necessary to
have the entire resources of the empire we'll

parleyings which were passing between the
two governments. He challenged the world
to deny that there were sufficient grounds
for the preparations made by England. The
Ameer of Afgnanistan was absolutely entitled
to English protection and he would get 1t.
(Cheers} He did not feel confident of the
correctness of the view of the Penjdeh Incl
dent entertained by Sir Peter Lumsden,
though he had complete confidence in that
officer, who might have been misled. At
any rate a blow had been struck and Russia
had struck it, and England would defend the
rights of the Ameer. (Cheers.) The general
opinion indicated by comments in the lob
bies upon Mr.. Gladstone's speech is that war
is inevitable.
