Gently brought there from Mexico
Mrs. Mary Pounch of Bozrahville, Conn.

architecture, capable of seating between
1900 and 1000 people. Eight thousand
devotees of the faith attended the four
services held on the Sunday of its dedica-
ton, few weeks ago, there being elabor-
ate choral and musical performances ae-
companying each service. There are no
preachers or pastors in this faith, but ad-
dresses were given by the readers. A let
ter was read from Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy,
the founder of the denomination, in which
she set forth the doctrines which she
calls the science of Christianity. 1t is said
that there are now $40 regularly organized
churches of Christian science in the Unit
ed States, England and Canada, and that
the denomination is rapidly growing.

"Do Nothing" says senator Chandler.

ado Nothing" says senator Chandler.
1t has long been evident that Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire would be a
full nedged freesilyer man if he lived in
one of the "silyer'' states beyond the
Mississippi. His latest exploit, or deliver
ance is letter addressed 10 the Washing
ton Post, warning the Republicans of dire
results if Secretary Gage is supported in
his effort to commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard" The
substance of Mr.. Chambers argument is
that if Secretary Gage and his gold-stand-
ard associates will cease their demand for
impossible currency legislation" Con
gress will pass the necessary appropriation
bills; probably take care of Hawaii and
Cuba" avert serious party division and
adjourn in May following which business
will revive, the treasury receipts will equal
the expenditures, the favorable balance of
trade will continue, and the Republicans
will elect the next Congress. Should, how
ever, Secretary Gage press his curren-
cy bill, Senator Chandler asserts that
doubt will be thrown upon the SINGER
ity of President McKinley's declaration in
favor of continued efforts to secure bimet-
allism, the now united Republicans will be
split into fragments, business will be dis
turbed, and the Democrats will carry the
congressional elections in 1898 and 1900,
and elect a Bryanite as successor to Nc
Kinley.
Mr. Chandler may be a true prophet in
this matter, but one fundamental fact is to
be remembered; the times when the Re
publican party has been successful have
been the times when it showed its hand
and stood for principle, and not when it
tried the role of drifting with the tide as a
policy-hunter.

Berries in Alaska.

Nowhere else in my travels, North or
South, says John Muir, the California nat
uralist, have | seen so many berries. The
woods and meadows and open places along
the shores are full of observation-disclosures
of many species, salmon. berries, raspber-
ries, blackberries, currants and gooseber-
ries, with fragrant Strawberries aud ser
vice berries on the drier grounds and cram
berries in the boys, sufficient for every
worm, bird and human being il the terri
tory, and thousands of tons to spare. The
Indians at certain seasons, rowing in merry
bands, gather large quantities, beat them
into paste and then press the paste into
square cakes and dry them for winter use,
to be eaten as a kind of bread with their
oily salmon. Berries alone, with the Law
ish bloom that belongs to them, are enough
to show how fine and rich this northern
wilderness must be.

The Chestnut street National Bank
Closed Its Doors Yesterday---Had Cap
Ital OF SoOO,OOO.
The doors OF the Chestnut Street Ma
tional bank were closed at Philadelphia
yesterday by direction OF National Bank
Examiner Hardt. It's affairs are now in
the hands of the bank examiner. The
Chestnut Street Trust company, which op-
Grated in conjunction with the bank, also
suspended. The banks suspension was
great surprise in view of the high stand
ing of its officers. The bank was started
in 1887 on a capital of $500 600, with Rob
ert +. Pattison as president. When the
latter took his seat as governor of Penn
sylvania in 1891 Mr.. Singerly succeeded
him as president of the bank.
1t has been known for some time in
banking circles that Mr. Singerlys banks
were in trouble. Wednesday night num-
Der of the leading bank officials of Phila
delphia had conference considering the
matter of raising sufficient money to re-
lieve Mr.. Singerly's banks of their dis
tress. 1t is understood that a proposition
to float 81 100000 preferred stock of the
Philadelphia Record, newspaper owned
by Mr.. Singerly, had been practically
agreed to when the discovery was made
that because of the involved condition of
the trust company's finances this sum
would not be within several hnadred thou
sand dollars of the amount required.

A very important decision has been Civ
en- in Indiana, sustaining the constitution
ality of the laws against the waste of nat
ural gas. In the eleven years since gas
was discovered about $500, 000,0 has
been invested in enterprises more or less
dependent on the condition of cheap fuel
furnished by the gas. The waste which
legislation was intended TO check was due
to the petroleum companies, which, ac-
cording to the Indianapolis News, bore
holes until they strike gas, let the gas run
to waste, and then pump out the oil found
in pocket at the bottom. The laws for
bidding waste of gas were said to be prac-
tically void. but have now been fully sus-
tanned.

he said, will be that such communities will

Changes Mt the Fall Mountain Mill.

The large pulp grinding machine of the
Fall Mountain Paper company's No 3 pulp
mill was rendered useless nearly all last
week by the driving shaft becoming badly
bent, owing to a defective coupling. The
shaft was steel one over six inches in di-
ameter, weighing about a ton, but was
Strengthened at the shops of Osgood d Bar
ker. This week the largest paper machine
under the hill, No. >, is idle and is being
fitted with a number more dryer rolls in
order to still further increase the speed of
the paper over it. The addition to it will
occupy the new brick addition recently built
over the driveway connecting with the
office building at the second story. This
machine is able to make paper los inches
in width, and has run lately at a speed of
about 425 feet per minute. The additions
being made TO it will probably increase the
speed to about 800 feet per minute.
