.ytcT1M OF THE FAITH CURE.
How Miss Matte Gordon is Responsible Tor
= Child's Death.
rSpecial to the Register

Especial to the Register
T1N,toxsv1LLE, May 2S.-On Tues
dov Annette Names Of Darlington, a
Girl Of y. was buried in a country celh-
etery not far from this place. The CIR
cumstances connected with her death
deserve to be mentioned as furnishing
evidence If the criminal presumption
exercised by the disciples OF the 1altn
cure.
Annette was taken sick on the
seventh day ofthis month with measles
The parents, as soon as her Illness
became serious, employed aphyslclah
toatte,d her. The doctor found Sc
we're case OF dysentery III complication
with the measles, but, by prompt pre-
scription of the proper remedies soon
obtained a fair control Of his patient
condition, and was anticipating her
early recovery.
The case was by no means OUT Oh
danger, however, when, on the sun
dav morning following, Miss Gordon.
of "Holy Alliance fame, called on
Annette and selected her for victim
Of faith fanaticism. Miss Gordon talked
and prayed with Annette for about an
hour, and by dint of persistent persua-
sion and appeals, made the poor little
oirI promise that she would not touch
anv more doctors medicine, hnally
also obtaining the parents consent TO
the fatal arrangement. This was MISS
Gordon's only visit. During the secono
week of Annette's sickness the opera
tion offaith was allowed eNcluslE G way
over the system of the child, but her
state at the expiration OF this time
COMPARED so unfavorably with that she
had received from the more material
treatment received at first, the father
and mother were driven again to seek
medical aid of nature more tangible
than the faith which, if strong enough,
NAV indeed remove mountains, but II
TOO much diluted, will not bulge the
most infnitessinlal bacteria. But 1t was
too late. They ravages of disease, un-
checked by suitable medicines, had
carried the little sufferer beyond human
redemption.
Miss Gordon is now at work in Char
lesion, and it is devoutly to be hoped
that this account may lind readers
among those who are likely to fall
under her influence, there or elsewhere,
and place credulous humanity some
what on its guard.

MRS. MARY f. BRYAN.
The Remarkable Career Of a Southern Lit"
erary Woman.
fFro1n the New York Graphic

-. TFron the New York Graphic
A little woman with shining black
ewes and face framed in short black
curls passed me on Broadway yester-
dav. That, said one Of those men vino
know everybody, is Mrs. Mary +.
Bryan. You rarely hear her name, yet
she is q veteran in journalism, and not
a woman in town is better placed. She
is at the head Of Munro's periodicals,
and has the confidence and respect Of
the house in its most substantial form.
Listen to this: She is a Georgian, and
ran away from boarding school at four
teen and married. She was a mother
at fifteen and all editor of an Atlanta
newspaper at seventeen. Then she
moved with her husband. to a planta-
ton on the Red river. The river took
the plantation at one bite and ruined
them. Those We're the turbulent days
of reconstruction. At NatchItOches no
white man dared to edit a newspaper,
so Mrs. Bryan undertook it, an old
Frenchman supplying themoney. Mrs.
Bryan stuck a pistol in her belt and
- endeavored to rally the paralyzed
French population Of the parish and
rescue their estates by inviting white
emigration. She was pursued by stones
through broken windows, but she kept
up until malaria and overwork pros
trated her.
She was then urged to 60 on the
stage, ana tile daughters of the promi-
nent citizens offered to join a company
she would form. She wrote. the play
herself, put her money in scenery and
costumes, the rehearsals were all he'd.
the play was to be produced the next
day. On going home she found her
child seized with spinal meningitis.
With her Calvinistlc training, she
thought it was punishment brought
upon her for going on the stage. The

her arms while she was correcting proof
with her left hand. Then came an offer
to go to Atlanta and start the Sunny
South. This was the turning point.
She not only edited the paper, but
literally wrote it under pseudonyms Of
every sort. Then appeared as a serial
her first novel, "Manche," which was
published afterwards in book form by
Appleton, and brought this plucky
woman reputation and money. After
several offers from Munro & Co. she
came to New York. She has earned
and deserves her success. ! suppose she
is the only woman living who writes
who can say she never has had 4 manu-
script rejected. She has never even
had the chance to offer one.

RUsSIA'S GREAT RAILWAY.
The Transcaspian Line Into Central Asia
Great Importance of the Latest fussian
Work of Encroachment.

LONDON, May 2S.-The great Russian
railway into the heart Of Asia IS at last
fact, and you can now go from Lon
don almost to the boundary OF the CHI
nese Empire III twelve days. The I'M
menSe strategic and commercial I'M
portance Of this event is not Indicated
at all by anything visible III the great
London dailicS. Each contained 4
small press dispatch this morning an
nounclng the opening of the road, but
no special article or editorial comment
appeared in Of them.
When one remembers the great eX-
citement that once clustered around
Nerv, through which the road passes,
and now over Hcr;lt, and the fact that
the new road places the whole OF the
Russian army only five days distant
from Northern India and much nearer
70 Afrhanistan, one is inclined to be-
lieve that Englaud's fits Of fear OF Rus
sia's encroachments are ofan intcrnlt-
tent and epileptic character. From st.
Petersburg the new line runs through
Moscow, Wormnesh, Rostov and Eladl-
kaykas. Here the route is barred by
the Caucasus range, over which the
line is not vet completed, and you have
to travel eighteen hours over a pass OF
5000 feet high, 1000 feet higher than
the St. Gothard and Simplon. With
scenery twice as wild as that of Switzer'
land, the Caucasus will be the great
summer resort Of the future. On the
other side you take steamer at Baku
cross the Caspian Sea to Ossoum Ada,
where the new line begins, and 60 a
thousand miles further through kezll'
Arvat, Geok-Tepe, Askabad, Merv and
Bokhara, to Samarcand.
The road is we'll built and thoroughly
equipped, and Cooks tourists Will be
eating hard-boiled eggs at the tomb OF
Tamerlane from now onward, providing
the present necessity for special govern
ment permits can be got over. The cost
is less than $50.
The commercial Importance of the
new route is very great. The rich val
lev of the Oxus, which is the Mlssls
sippi of Central Asia, now opened up
had no European outlet before saw
by caravan. The resources ofthis terri
tory are of all kinds, mineral and agri
cultural; and are undeveloped. The
effect On civilization Of the new line
! can be better imagined than described
considering the fact that all the great
mechanical advances and the higheS1
civilization of the nineteenth century
will now be carried into barbaric Asia
The effect on on school Biographies il
not to be even surmised.
Russia has steadily been pursuing
policy of encroachmcnt in the East
and this explains her action in protect
inc hcr Western frontier. Evidently
her object is to gain in the East, anc
she proposes to be let alone in the
West. One thing that is very Ger
tain is that the new road is {
pretty good guaranty of peace fol

toward Russia, on account Of the mill
tary advantages it gives the latter
China, however, has the most reason K

troops can be massed at Samarcand a
short notice.
