ashamed to say that l trust In the Lord
and He will save my child. 1 believe in
Divine healing, and l know my child will
| get well. When earthly powers fail there
is a higher power, and my Della has been
committed to that power" Mrs. Dodd en-
couraged her to talk, advising her to leave
all to God, as the minds of prejudiced
men could not be shaken. John Harrison,
the husband and father, Endorsed what
his wife said. I'VE have simply obeyed
the divine injunction laid down in the BIZ
ble,' said he, land we nave called in the
elders of the church to pray for the recov-
cry of our child"
Both father and mother insisted so
strenuously that their daughter was con-
valescing that the court commissioned
Drs. Cunningham and Durham to visit
the Harrison residence and ami the
patient. They found the little home
crowded with neighbors, the ventilation
imperfect and guarding the room where
the daughter lay was an. old, unkempt,

come from the city to heal the child. The
girl lay Upon a little bed, her face flushed
with fever, the temperature 103 and the
pulse 125.
Her body was so sore that DR.. Cunning

stantly recognized that her condition was

feririg of the girl, however, had not pre-
vented the faith-curers from compelling
her to sit up the preceding day for one
hour and a half, during all Of which time
they labored with her to have faith and
believe herself cured. The girl protested
against transfer to the hospital. owing
to her mothers objections, and when she
was assured that it was the only chance
to live she cried bitterly, and still believ-
ed hat the Lord would save her.
After the physicians made their report
the court hesitated no longer, and impos-
ed a fine on both husband and wife,
Clasping hands and with the air of mar
tyrs both asserted that they were victims
of a conspiracy and they would go to Jail

officer was then given legal possession
of the patient, and through his recon-

that only heroic measures could save her.

BELIEVERS IN
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
ALLOW THEIR DAUGHTER TO SUE.
FER AWFUL AGONY-WILL BE
PROSECUTED.

Indianapolis, April 3.-The prosecution
of Mr.. ard Mrs. JOIN Harrison, Christian
Scientists, because Of alleged neglect of
their ffteen-year-old daughter, i'll of APP
pendicitis, developed that the defendants
have a faith in the power of divine heal
ing equaling the deep-seated superstitions
of the past. Nothing could shake their
belief that she could be healed by faith
alone, They had placed her In the hands
of the Lord, and there she should remain
unless torn from them by the power rep
resented in the law" said Mrs. Harrison,
and although it could be seen that the
child was in a deplorable condition, pain
tossed and With a fever rapidly sapping
her vitality, nothing was done to relieve
her intense agony or to keep her from the
disciples of faith cure, VINO thrOnged the
house night and day, praying and singing
and laying on of hands.
The neighbors eXpostulated and wept in
sympathy as they watched the child, with
an abscess already formed in her side,
and suffering untold agony, whenever
touched, and saw her, as she was compell-
ed TO rise by the so-called "healers," and
walk about the room, or else Sit up IN an
effort to assist the Lord in driving the
evil away. Inc numane Offlcer pleaded
with the parents and with David Dodd
and wife, two of the Scientists, without
avail, and when the humane officer
withdrew to evoke the interference of the
law, the praying and chanting We're re-
sumed.
A great crowd thronged the little court
room in the West Indianapolis suburbs
while DR.. Cunningham and other reputa-
BILE physicians, early called into the case,
told of the diagnosis made when the first
symptoms developed, and of their recon-
mendation that the girl be Immediately

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
OFFICIAL TALKS

San Francisco, April 4.-Gen. Thomas
Fl. Hubbard, vice president of the South
ern Pacific has arrived from
the east accompanied by Edward f..
Searles, who's interests he represents.
He stated tina the reorganization scheme
of the Central Pacific had been nearly
completed. The so-called Santa Fee con-
solidation bill passed by the Call1ornia
legislature. he said, would facllltate the
reorganization of the Central Pacl1lc,
but was not necessary to 1t. Nothing so
far aus he knew had been said by the direc-
tors in reference to consolidating the
other leased lines Of the Southern Pacific
He said that T. S. Stillman,
his former law partner, was no longer
interested in the affairs of the company,
but he could not confirm reports that
either PRINCE PoniatoWski or Horace q.
Platt would succeed Stillman in the dl-
~rectorate General Hubbard said that
no expense was incurred by the railroad
in the recent senatorial contest in the
state, and he regretted that no senator
had been chosen. He stated that the
company's purchase of large terminal
facilities at Galveston does not mean the
abandonment of New Orleans as the ter
minal Of it's Sunset line.

ficit in Reserves
WHEN RESERVE WAS LOW

New York, April AT the banquet Of
the Manhattan company last night Sec
rotary of the Treasury Gage referred to
the circumstances of his visit to this city
in 1896 and the assistance he obtained
from the banks.
1T was a time" he said, when the
government of the United States had re-
duced it's gold reserve to something over
$40, 900. 900. 1t had offered it's securities
to the public. 1t had invited a popular
loan, the credit of the government was
being attacked and it was facing a
mighty volume of liabilities for which it
had no assets to provide and no money
to pay. 1t appealed to the country to
give it's in exchange for the Sc
curlties. 1t was the second appeal within
a short period of time and the nation was
threatened with a change to new stand
ards of value and every interest was
threatened with bankruptcy and chaos.
Most of you had previously brought your
resources to the aid of the government.
Now declining value appeared to have
made a loss certain"
Mr.. Gage eulogized the patriotism Of
the New York banks at this critical time
and said hat to their action then was

been reported in the that the
treasury contemplated a further issue of
bonds
II do not see any need of such action
said Mr.. Gage. 1.-The treasury now has
1924, 600, 900 of net money and after Jay
ment of the Spanish claim there will be
1894, 600, 900. The condition of the financial
market is not such as to create anxiety
Notwithstanding the heavy wal eX-
penses, Secretary Gage declared that for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, the
deficit would not much exceed $50, 900, 900.

Guided, "of keeping the treasury Of the

says: During the past few months there
has been unprecedented increase iii the
volume of exports and imports at San
Francisco. The business of the custom
house has reached such magnitude that
the present, force of employees is wholly
inadequate, and Collector Jackson has
petitioned the treasury department to at
once appoint 20 additional customs m
spectors. During the last month many
vessels from foreign ports We're delayed
in discharging their cargoes because the
custom house had not sufficient men to
perform the work required by the United
States import laws.
