The so called faith cure" has been
given good many severe tests, but
few OF them have been heavier than
imposed upon it by a convert to the
belief in Jersey City. A stout woman,
relating her experience in the Mount
Zion Sanctuary in that city one Sun
day, confessed that she was once
troubled with too much voluptuous-
ness" To be more exact. she said:
II was so fat that ] couldn't walk
two blocks. | took 'anti-fat' and |
grew fatter. | came to the Mount
Zion Sanctuary few months ago,
and then l decided to pray to be less
voluptuous. When l began TO pray l
weighed 375 pounds. Now weigh
3OO."
Ii faith alone has done this, it is
truly of the sort that removes mount
aims" A scoffing and a sceptical
generation, however, will be inclined
to believe that the walks to thesanct-
uary or a less liberal indulgence in
starchy, sugary and fatty food abat-
ed the seventy-five pounds of super
fiuous tissue. Abstinence and exercise
have been known to cure obesity
which the victim in this case very fun
nily confounds with voluptuousness
but it would indeed be a miracle if
praying should counteract q constitu-
tional tendency towards adipose tissue
encouraged by sloth and gormandiz-
ing.
The female Falstaffian recruit in
the camp OF Mount Zion would do
well to combine fasting with her pray
ers, if she has not already done so.
Even three hundred pounds of volup.
tuousness is an overload for the ordi-
nary nineteenth century OF faith.-N.

He did so.
He was received with considerable
applause, and following the usage in
such cases, bowed. Then theapplause
grew more decided, and he bowed

Mass meetings in Arizona are eulo-
gizing General Miles and Captain Law
ton for Kidding that Territory of hos.
tile Apaches. The fervid Western in

strong enough in which to laud the
vigorous policy" of General Miles,
and the bravery and military skill''
of CAPTAIN Lawton and his soldiers.
Those officers are doubtless well pleas
ed to know that dangerous and dis
agreeable task has been we'll done, but
they are able, at the same time, to
measure the value of praises coming
from men who but a short month ago
gave them nothing but ridicule and
abuse. One thing the soldiers, officers
and privates of the army in Arizona
can truthfully say: None OF THEN sue
cess is due to aid from the people by
whom they were surrounded. The
thousands of cowboys, rustlers, gam
blers, hardy frontiersmen, who do SO
much to form public sentiment in the
Territory. did not take q scalp in the
whole Apache war. They are evident
ly not the stuff out OF which came the
early settlers of Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut, New York, Ohio, Virginia,
and Kentucky. Cooper would have
hunted in vain among them for q
hero, and the dime novelist must rely
entirely on his Imagination in relating
their exploits. The ecstacies of q
population of hundred thousand
people in getting rid of thirty Apache
bucks is a queer commentary upon
border courage and self-reliance.-

The Hegener Murder Case at st.

The jury at St. Paul acquitted Bertha
Hegener who killed Murphy in the

Irwin. her lawyer set up the usual plea OF
insanity, at the time OF the affair, and had

as naturally she would, acted rather
queer. This testimony, and Mr.. Irwin'e
eloquence, coupled with the facts that the
defendant was a woman and the murdered
man dirty reprobate, was too much for
the tender jury. Hegener, husband of the
W roman, and who invited her to the
act, was discharged, as he could not be
held after the verdict that no crime had
been committed. The verdict was not the
nature OF a surprise. Every ono seemed
to expect and anticipate it. And
the crowd in the court room seemed
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
no matter what might have been the inner
life of the accused and her husband. the
former was justified in taking the law
into her own hands and melting out to her
traducer his just deserts. But the opinion
OF the crowd is not that OF sensible people
