Faith Cure Follies.

About two weeks ago an officer of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children arrested Ole E.
LARSEN, aged 30, of No. % Woodruff
street, Brooklyn, for refusing to give
medicine to his child, aged years,
who was sick with diphtheria. DR..
Prendergast, one of the physicians of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, was called to at
tend the sick child and he prescribed
for it, but the father refused to adj
minister the remedy. He said that
he simply called in the doctor to com.
ply with the law and would do no
more. "If God Wishes" he
said, "to give my child diphtheria,
let Him do 80. He knows his
business best and won't interfere. l
won't give any medicine. have an
other child 2 years old, and if God
wishes to give it diphtheria it is His
will and I won't interfere" 1t was
found to be useless to reason with
LARSEN, who is an adherent of the
faith cure belief held by many Scan
dinavians, and appears to be a fatal
list. The matter was brought to the
attention of the charities department,
and it was decided to treat the case
as one of contagious disease, bringing
it under clause of the Penal Code.
LARSEN was locked up and the child
was cared for.

ton Of London there is q
majority of $50 females. Pre-
mature births in New York numbered
l ,l55; in London, 5000. To be equal,
the figures referring to New York
should only be third. New York
compares unfavorably with London in
the matter of suicides. There were
PAT in New York and 400 in London.
Between 800 and 900 persons take
their own lives in Paris every year.
In New York !, 13S were killed by ac-
cidents, and in London 2,516. There
were only 1892 deaths from bron-
chitis in New York, while in London
there were 10,0S5. But while some
hundreds die every year in London
as the result of idleness and obesity,
81 deaths were recorded last year
from starvation. A decreased death
rate is invariably followed by lower
birth rate. The deaths in London
last year were the lowest on record;
the births the lowest since 1841. In
the western districts, where the rich
reside, and where the degree of COM
fort is high, the deaths fell to 1874 and
the births to 25.5; but in the impov-
erished and overcrowded east where
the poor never get breath of fresh
air, and are huddled together in an
healthy alleys. the deaths rose TO 27.2
and the births to 1865. The people
least able to support children are the
most prolific, and the higher the de-
gree of social comfort and well being,
the less the increase of population.

pistrIctI Oourt.

Judge Key had before him yester-
day petition for miandamus to COM
pei L. L. Hogue, teaS her of the Govalle
school to admit a pupil, a young girl
named Chenerwith.
Some two years ago she applied for
admittance, but was refused on the
ground that she was not a white child.
The trustees of the chool were ap-
pealed to and they sustained the
teacher, Prof. Macarthur.
From the trustees the county
superintendent was appealed to and
he affirmed the decision of the trus-
tees. Now comes the mother of the
child, white woman, and wants man
damus to compel the teacher to admit
the child. The case is pending.

STANDING PAT.
AN INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT
INTERVIEW WITH THE
GOVERNOR.
Beyond His Jurisdiction to Refuse His Sig
nature to Railroad Land Pat
ents, and :.They win
Be Signed.

W
sentative of the press yesterday if he
had received notice that Commissioner
Hall had resumed the issuance of pat
ents to the Houston and Texas Gen.
trail Railway company and if so what
action he proposed to take in the mat
ter.
He replied that the matter was for
the first time before him for official
action. Mr.. Hall having previously
withheld patents.
Since they are now placed before
him in legal form he thought it would
be an act beyond his jurisdiction ITO
refuse his signature upon the mere
threat of suit.
He said these certificates have been
duly issued by his predecessors in
Office for railway donations, as the
files in the land Office show, and the
governors then in Office, upon COM
pletion OF certain sections of the rail-
road, were notified by the company of
such completion and thereupon APP
pointed a competent engineer as the
states agent to examine the work, and
upon the sworn report of the engineer
the governor was required, and did
certify to the commissioner of the
land Office that the railway company
had built in accordance with the law
certain number of miles of railway,
for which it was entitled to so many
sections OF land. Now, this action of
the governors was in effect an adjudi-
cation that the company had COM
pleted a certain number of miles and
was entitled to so much land therefor,
because the governor was created the
tribunal to decide that matter under
the law.
Under their decision a certain num-
Der OF certificates issued to the COM
pany capable of location and patents
under the law, no matter whether
switches were included or not.
Therefore for me to arbitrarily re-
fuse to sign patents now because it is
simply claimed that my predecessors
erred in their construction of the law
and certified for switches, would, /
think, hardly be justified on my part.
If the state has been wronged, the
Judiciary is the only authority capable
of canceling the transaction, and /,
as the governor should not be called
upon to sit in judgment on the rights
of these parties, reverse the action Of
my predecessors and determine q
purely judicial question; more especi-
ally when the issuance of patents
will not deprive the statesof remedy;
for these patents (Which will show,
on their face, for what they were
issued as notice to the world,) can be
Cancelled as well as the certificates.
The uniform course appears to have
been to grant certificates for all COM
pleted railways including switches,
presumably on the ground that the
law sustained such construction and
I do not think l should arbitrarily cut
off parties from all remedy by refusing
to sign patents at this late day for
there would be no appeal from my ac-
ton. shall therefore sign patents
until the jurisdiction of the courts has
been invoked.

High school-Pupils Honored.

The following pupils of the middle
class of the High school have done so
well in their studies that they have
been promoted to the senior class
Misses Helen Hornsby, Mary Ellis,
Mettie Crenshaw and Daisy Crawford.
Some of them will doubtless prefer
to remain where they are and take
another year in the High school SO as
to be more thorough and take higher
stand than they would by being pro-
NOTED at this time.
This honor of promotion in the ses-
sion is rarely conferred; in this case
the young ladies have done so well as
to in every way merit it.
