CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
REFUSE MEDICAL AID

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 29.-Judge j. NJ. Ell
Ter, who saw his wife die after hours of
intense suffering while being treated by
Christian Science heaters, declares his
faith in the art was not shaken. and that
If il had not been Gods will Mrs. ElIer

The death was due to a gasoline expIo-
sion in the Eller home by which the par
ents and two children were badly burned.
No medical aid was secured. though the
aesh was dropping from the limbs Of the
victims. Judge Eller said that he and his
children want only Christian Science treat
ment. He added that he was suffering no
pain, though his pinched face and set teeth
might have indicated 10 the contrary. His
two children declared they, too were not
In pain, though they were groaning and
writhing in agony.

vaine Cassidy has made application 10 the
supreme court for counsel fee and alimony
pending the action for a limited divorce
which she brought against Ensign Robert
Rochefort Cassidy, of the United States
navy, on the ground of cruelty.
Mrs. Cassidy w:s formerly Marie Helen
Melaine Sylvaine Dornay de Casteu She
is the daughter Of a Belgian nobleman OF
an old family, Sieur Charles CASTOR Syl-
vaiDe Dornay de Casteu, and lived on the
family estate at Casteu, in the province OF
Heinalt, in Belgium.
Edward Rochefort Cassidy is the sen 1
the late William H. Cassidy, of the Albany
Argus.
Mrs Cassidy met her husband in 1892
They fell in love and were married in Jan
uary, 1893. AT the time cf the marriage
Mr.. Cassidy's mother, by an ante-nuptial
agreement, settled upon her son an annuity

IMPORTANT CHANGES
In SENATE COMMITTEES
New Chairmanships to he Made Be-
cause of the Death OF Se4a-
tor NOrrfI1

tor AOFr1H.
The death of Senator Morrill, will bring
about one or two very important COM
mittee changes in the Senate. The Re-
publicans will have no easy tax in determ-
lining who shall get these places. Mr.. AL
lison. in addition to being chairman of the
Appropriations Committee is the second
member of the Finance, and should he
care TO take the craftsmanship of the lat
ter 1t would undoubtedly be rendered him.
But then the question arises who Will sue
ceed the Iowa statesman as the head Of
Appropriations? Mr. Hale comes next to
him on Appropriations and Mr.. Hale is
also chairman of Naval Affairs. 1t is not
thought that he cares TO relinquish that
position. as he has always taken the great
est interest in matters affecting the navy.
Mr.. Aldrich is known to be exceedingly
ambitious to be chairman Of Finance.
In reality he has for a number OF Yeas
been the most active Republican on the
floor of the Senate in tariff adjustments
and discussions. and 10 him is conceded a
more expert and practical knowledge of
the tarif than to any OF his legislative
associates. Not only has he been identi-
fed with manufacturing concerns. but he
worked in the factories when young
man TO gain valuable knowledge that
could in no other way be acquired.
Mr. Aldrich is now Chairman of the
Rules Committee, one Of the highest hon
ors in the body of which he is member.
If he is TO be chairman of Finance the
ranking Senator on the Rules Committee
viii be Mr.. Hoar, and Mr.. Hoar is al
ready chairman of Judiciary. That is the
honor a lawyer in Congress aspires to.
Mr.. Hoar would not give up the judiciary
Craftsmanship. Next 10 him on Rules Is
Mr.. Spooner. Should Mr.. Aldrich go to
the head of Finance the chances are that
Mr.. Spooner will-be chairman OF Rules.
Really that seems TO be the simplest way
of settling the problem when the commit
tees are rearranged.

MEXiCANS FAVOR
AMERICAN GOODS
REPORT OF coNstL kE>DRIck
The Demand for Agricultural Ma
cHinery increases RaPidIy-The
Mormon Colony.

The State Department has received a re-
port from Consul Charles ". Kendrick at
Ciudad Juarez, regarding the market for
American agricultural machinery il. MeA-
leo. He says:
American agricultural implements are
imported into Mexico. al least along the
border. without competition from abroad
Our manufacturers have a clear field and
a market to themselves. In addition TO
this advantage the demand for United
States agricultural machinery is steadily
increasing. In the first place. implements
for tilling the soil are better in the United
States than those made in any other coun-
Try. Our manufacturers have the advan-
tage of quick transportation and moderate
freight rates, and all agricultural imple-
ments shipped into Mexico are entered free
of duty at the custom houses.
President Diaz has long considered the
development of agriculture the most i'm
portant OF the national industries. Al
ready capital is invested in various states
OF Mexico in the cultivation Of large tracts
OF land, and syndicates are being organ
fzed 20 scientifically cultivate products in
digenous to the country. This means the
employment Of modern methods and mod
ern agricultural machinery.
The American plow and cultivator
came with the railroads. and the use of
these implements is being gradually eX-
tended among the small farmers and away
from the lines OF communication. AS the
agricultural implements of the United
States are substituted for the antiquated
instruments heretofore employed, their use
and value is appreciated, and every Amer
lean plOw is an object lesson Indicating
the possibilities of larger returns for a
given amount of toll on given number Of
acres.
Agricultural devalsImeh means much
TO Mexico as il DAT meant so much to the
United States. This fact is realized in
Mexico, and the result is a liberal treat
ment CT American agricultural machinery
indeed, its free admission to the Repub-
lie
The American manufacturers should
not conclude that because the implements
are purchased in the United States il is
unnecessary TO canvass Mexico with the
hope Of increasing the demand. The sales
of our manufacturers might be extensively
increased by dispatching to the agricul-
tural districts intelligent representatives,
who understand the habits and customs OF
their prospective patrons and the Spanish
language. In the northern section of Mex
ico, and especially in my consular district
agriculture is limited TO the valleys where
irrigation is possible. But here the returns
are excellent, experience proving that irri-
cation brings better results than are real
lied in the zones where the supply of mois-
ture is left TO the vagaries of the season.
The Mormons, who are colonizing the
northern and western sections of the State
OF Chihuahua, follow agriculture almost
exclusively. They use American plows
binders and reapers, and other necessary
implements.
For the fiscal year ended June 80, 1896
$4,000 worth OF agricultural machinery
was imported at the custom house in this

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CALLED A HUMBUG
a WOMAN EXPRESSES HER VIEWS
Mrs. Reach. Speaking inuNew York,

New York, Dec. 29.-There was not a
Christian Scientist within hailing distance
last night when, In the rooms of the So
cial Science Club, at No. 81 East Fourth
Street Mrs. A. l.. Beach declared that
Mrs Mary Baker G.. Eddy. author of Sci
ence and Health" and one of the most
noted of Christian Science publicists, was
1.-The queen of humbugs."
Mrs. Beach is one OF the best known Of
the many men and women orators who
solve social problems on the lower east
side. Mrs. Eddy, besides writing de-
fense of Christian Science in her book.
makes as her latest claim that she cured a
i Western man of a terrible cancer.
Christian Scientists were asked to attend
last nights meeting. They were told to
come armed. but not one came from cover
even when Mrs Beach reached the height
| of activity.
First she told how the late Snowman,
| Fhineas T. Barnum, had deliberately plan
ned 10 be a humbug, and make a fortune.
| Then she said: al i,sf af,rt
Mrs. Eddy is the queen of hum bugs. She
claims that she has corner on God Al

don't know how many other dupes there
| have been, but the movement seems to be

| Christian Scientists used to charge $500
