nirine Healing

A writer in the New York Herald
the other day gave it as her opinion that
the three recent Developments in faith
cure, mind cure and christian science,
were aptly represented by tweedle-dum
tweedle-dee and tweedle-dollar, Christian
Science of course being tweedle-dollar
The difference in the three doctrines ac-
cording to this statement. is chiefly a
difference in the amount of re-
muneraton accepted The Faith Cure
apostles dispense their doctrines free of
charge and the remedy is in the patient
whose healing is in the measure Of his
faith. The Mind Cure healer does not
hesitate 10 put out his or her hand for 4
dollar after sitting with his or her back
against yours till the influence has
had time TO run up your spinal column.
The Christian Science teacher instructs
YOU how to cure Yourself and fits YOU
10 set up a metaphysical college of your
own in twenty lessons, and charges one
hundred dollars, payable in advance.
As this new school of philosophy, relig-
ion and medicine seems chiefly to at
tract women. some liberal minded
instructors allow the woman who has a
husband to take him along and he is
thrown in for lagniappc. II is said to
be such an easy and sure way Of making
money that women, young and old,
deserving the former paths Of livelihood
invest their scanty savings in a course
Of instruction and Immediately begin
themselves to enGghten their age and
generation, at a hundred dollars per
CAPITA. which means a good fat income
for the wear. It's deal easier than
school teaching or sewing or type-writ-
inc. to sit before credulous audience
Of a dozen or so and talk Of the 'spher-
zeal oneness" and it pays vastly better
too. The Christian Scientists are
tweedle-dollansts, if they are anything.
The differences however. between the
three methods Of healing by faith, mind,
and christian science, are more than
may nj first Be supposed. The first
cures BY prayer and faith. the second
III The influence Of mind on mind, the
third BY the supremacy Of . mind which
recognizes that there Is no matter.
Those who accept the faith cure doc
trines would seem to have the best of
il. for there are no fees attached and
there are certainly well authenticated
instance Of cures by prayer. though
there arc sceptics of a sinister turp of

cations are that it will never get through

Good suggearion.

The Real Estate Record makes the follow- ing suggestions regarding the need of an off, cial inspection of buildings in our sister city of Bridgeport: A glance at the building laws of the cities of the State shows that while all city except Bridgeport places some restric- tions on the promiscuous erection of build ings besides that defined by the fire limits. In New Haven permit is necessary before any building or addition is erected. An ap- plication is filed with the fire marshal, and this is acted. upon by the board of fire com missioners, unless the fire marshal is satisfied
 that permit should be issued. There is 8
 fine for erecting building without Q permit,
 and in recent case where 8 man built 8
 wooden barn without the necessary permis- sion he was compelled to take it down, be- sides being heavily fined. The fee for a building permit is $1.
 In Hartford, MiddIetown, New London and South Norwalk, building permits are granted by the common council, and in Hartford 8 fine of $50 is imposed for erecting building without the consent of the council, and 6 further sum of $50 @ week as long as the building remains without such permission. In Waterbury permits are issued by the fire marshal for all building operations within certain prescribed limits, and in Meriden ths l fire marshal also acts as building inspector | and grants permits for buildings within the ! city limits.
 l In New Britain the building permits ars I issued by the city clerk and committee o
 the common council, and about the sam' | fines are imposed as in Hartford for disre l garding the law. A building inspector is alss l appointed annually to see that buildings ar' properly constructed.
 It is the opinion of the leading architect ! and builders of Bridgeport that some form o
 thorough building inspection should b
 adopted by that city.

 GENEVA, H., Dec. 6-In the trial of John H. Baureisen, chief of the alleged Burlington dynamiters, the jury was completed to-day. John Alexander Bowles, who it is said was a conspirator and one of the squealers, was put on the stand as first and most important witness. Bow1es testified that he went to work as an engineer for the Burlington on March 22, 1888, and was persuaded to quit by his brother on April 4. He joined the brotherhood and was employed by Baureisen to buy dynamite and place it on the tracks and also to buy vitron and ammonia to put in the water tanks of the engines.
 Witness went on to tell how two weeks af- ter his initiation as a brotherhood man he met Baureisen at Aurora and how the latter told him that dynamite could be used with good effect, giving him $7.50 to buy the stuff. Bowles said he could not purchase it in Chi cago in small quantities, but succeeded in doing so at Noblesville, Ind. Returning to Chicago he met Baureisen, Hoge, Kelley and other leading strikers at the grievance com~ mittee rooms at Grand Pacific Baureisen SaIu Wl6uobS gave u1u S1U aQu bO1O nm to go to Galesburg with the goods" Bowles re- lated how cordially he was received by Geo. A. Clarke.
 They drove to the tracks, but did not use the 'goods." He buried the dynamite near the waterworks and Bow1es returned to Aurora to have another talk with Bauressen. Bauressen furnished more money and trip was taken by Witness to Noblesville and Westfeld, Indiana, when more dynamite be- sides illuminating caps and fuse were pur- chased. 'May 16," continued Bowles, "Bau- reisen gave me two silver dollars to hire rig and visit the ''Q" tracks. took Alexander Smith with me and drove to the railroad crossing near the fair grounds where placed a stick of dynamite with cap on the track We drove back Aurora and heard the explo- sion 8 mile away. The next morning Bau- reisen said it was good job and that the fsnge had been blown of the leading truck wheel"

FAIR HAVEN.

 Attorney Julius 0. Cable of the Twelfth l ward is 8 candidate for tue position of Cor poration counsel and his friends think he should have the position. MT. Cable is g lawyer of well known ability and will no doubt make strong run for the place. He was city attorney for several years and filled that office acceptably to the people and with credit to himself. Mir. Cable has host of friends who will do all that they can to see that he is not left in the race Attorney W. H. Ely, who is a we'll known resident of the Fourteenth ward, is also in the race for the office of corporation counsel and once more does Fair Haven become prominent in local politics. It is urged, however, that as MT. Ely is not resident of the city he is not eligible to take care of the city's legal inter- ests.
 Now that the Republicans have carried both the city and the town practically as well as securing control of both branches of the city government, the idea of making the Fourteenth ward 8 part of the city as well as of the town has again been broaehed. There are number of North Quinnipiac street residents who have favored the idea for some time, and it is not at all improbable that they will shortly circulate petition asking the city fathers to admit the ward into the munictple fold. They allege that the advantages that would be derived there- from are manifold and obvious, and claim that the taxes would be slightly increased. On the other hand there are many who would vigorously oppose the scheme on ths ground that there would be no benefit ob tained corresponding to the increased taxa ton. These gentlemen assert that while the Fourteenth ward will no doubt have to be- come part of the city sometime, there is no necessity for hurrying the matter.
 Thomas Hempstock, the engineer who had such a narrow escape at the time the boiler in H. A. Stevens yard exploded, saved him self by jumping headlone through 8 half open window. His friends were congratulating him yesterday on his good fortune.
