Suicide Is the supreme act OF the

except in the taking OF OF superfluous
member OF society whose possibilities
have been exhausted by the dramatist
Or the novelist. All the world admires

hysteria which turns the hand OF

but spite and petulance. Even the man

LIFE FOR CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Prayed While Burned BIesh Fell
From Their Bones.

Omaha, Dec. 27.-The faith of Judge J.
W. Eller, of Omaha. in Christian Science
is being thoroughly tested. Mrs. Eller
gave up her life today for her faith. Her
husband is in precarious condition. and
two members OF the family are suffering
from frightful burns.
The whole family are Christian Scien-
lists. and when the gasoline stove ex-
ploded last night and burned its men,
bers terribly, no medical aid was secured,
but couple OF the most expert CHRIS
for, and prayed for the family.
While the treatment was being admin
istered and the suffering victims were told
that they were not in pain. the flesh was
dropping OFF their bodies. Mrs. Eiler
died today, but this did not cause the
other sufferers to change their physicians
The sufferers asserted with the healers
that II they could not be saved through
the efficiency OF prayer it was not worth
while to call for physicians. The mem
bers refused to give details of the manner
OF Mrs. Eller's death.
Judge Eller is a well known lawyer
having served a term on the county
bench. One of the healers who has been
industriously healing the El,er family
with prayer since their trouble, is J. r.
Clarkson, until recently one OF the most
prominent lawyers of the city.
He gave up law to become a Christian
Science healer, declaring that he had re-

THE DISTRICT BILL.

SENATE Appropriations Committee
Considering II by Sections.
The hearing on the District of Columbia
appropriation bill before the subcommittee
of the Senate Appropriation Committee was
continued yesterday. Senators Allison.
Culiom. German and Teller were present,
and before them appeared the District Com
missioners, Auditor Petty and Drs. Purvis
and Curtis.
The bill has now been gone over By sec
tions by the committee in the presence OF
the Commissioners. and their presence be-
fore the committee will probably not be
necessary in the future unless some spe-
cial question arises.
Judge Scott. OF the Police Court pre-
sented some Of the needs of his court be-
fore the committee.
Dr. Purvis urged before the committee
the need of making provision for the Home
for Colored Women and Children, saying
that if the bill became a law as il passed
the House it would result in throwing sew
eral aged women out into the world with
out any means Of support.
DIR. "A. Al. Curtis, OF Freedman's Hos
pital, secured an audience with the COM
mittee and argued against the charity pro-
vision of the bill, which makes 1t neces-
sary that the Commissioners shall first
give their consent before charity patients
can be cared for in that institution.
1t is the intention of the committee to
get the bill ready to report to the Senate
as soon after it convenes as possible.

NO WORD FROM GEN. OTIS.
Sensational Reports Discredited by
the wnr Department..

Up to late hour last night the War De-
partment had received no dispatch from
Gen. Otis, commanding at Manila. in re-
gard to the reported trouble with the ma
tives. The rumor that the Tagal insurgents
have been in possession of Kalbaon since
December IL is not credited by Secretary
Alger. He said that the department had
received no report from Gen. Otis regard
ing any trouble In that part of the Philip
pine group and that il such a serious con-
flict had taken place he would have been
informed of ii.
Another report. which is not credited by
the War Department, is that Aguinaldo has
refused to release the Spanish prisoners
and has fled TO the mountainous regions
back of Cavite in fear of assassination.
Gen. Otis has already instructed the War
Department that Aguinaldo has agreed TO
release the prisoners and no further
trouble is anticipated.
The only communication received from
Gen. Otis yesterday was n hundred word
cipher dispatch, which. Secretary Alger
says, was in reference 10 the situation at
Iloilo. the capital OF, the Island OF Panay
1t was stated yesterday by Gen. Corbin
that the dispatch contained only the an
nouncement OF the arrival of Gen. Miller
and the troops sent to that place by Gen.
Otis to suppress the insurgents and the
lawlessness existing there. The troops con-
sisted of the Eighteenth Infantry, the Iowa
Battalion. the Sixth Artillery and detach-
ment OF the Signal Corps. The expedition
was transported on the Arizona Newport
and Pennsylvania, conveyed by the cruiser
Baltimore and the Callao.

CUTTING DOWN THE ARMY.
\ List From Which to Select Troop.
for Nuster-Out.


for Musfer-Out.
4 list of volunteer regiments. from which
selections will be made of those to be mus
tered out under the decision of the Pres
dent to reduce the army by so, 600 men,
was laid on Secretary Alger's desk yester-
day. No selections have been made of vo,-
unteer organizations except those now in
the Philippines enlisted under the first
call for troops.
The War Department officials are unable
to tell just how many volunteers will be
mustered out. II has been arranged that
the men who enlisted in the regu ar army
for the war only shall have the privilege
OF being discharged on application, and
the department can make no accurate esti-
mate of how many men will avail them
selves of this. 1t is expected, however,
from what the department officials have
learned, that about 10000 of the $1,000
regulars in this class will apply for dis
charge.
If this prediction is fulfilled, 80, 900 vol
Unteers will be mustered out, but if
smaller number of war regulars stay in
the service the number of volunteers to be
mustered cut will be reduced proportion
ately. To secure as accurate figures as
possible of the number of regiments who
want to leave the army. instructions have
been sent TO regmental commanders 10
inform the department how many men
who enlisted for the war will take adyan-
tage of the muster -out orGer.
