TALKING OF PASSES.
To the Editor of ..Tne Jersey city News":-

To the Editor of 'The Jersey City News':-
That disreputable old lady, the Trenton
s'True American took occasion the other
day to say things about one of her con-
temporaries for having, as she thought,
a Pennsylvania Railroad pass. This
caused a broad smile to srpead over the
faces of old Trent ,nians.
They remembered that the old lady was
once very friendly with General Sewell
and carried one of the potent pasteboards
herself But in course of time she and
the general had a bitter quarrel and by a
strange coincidence. the old lady's virtu-
Gus attitude against railroad passes
developed just at that particular time:
Even as 1t is, If someone should take
the old lady by the heels and shake her
well, pass on the Trenton street railway
would drop out of her clothes and also a
share or two of stock of the new gas
light company whose cause the old lady
has SO earnestly advocated lately.

PRISON PROBLEM.


The Result of a Visit of Mrs. Francis
Christian Scientist.
The state prison authorities at Tren-
ton, N. J., have to decide an interest
ing question that has arisen through
visit to the institution recently by Mrs
Francis of Washington, who is a dis
ciple of Christian Science. The problem
to be solved is where Christian Science
begins as a religious faith and ends as
form of medical practice. There are
in the prison many persons sentenced
in the District of Columbia. While
they were in Jail there some of them
were converted to Christian Science by
Mrs. Francis. The other day she ap-
piled at the prison for permission to
visit and talk to her converts in further
ance of her work. She was -eferred to
DR.. Brewer, the assistant physician OF
the institution, who told her that the
New Jersey laws were strirt against
the practicing of medicine or any form
of cure unless the practitioner had
diploma from u reputable school or col
lege of medicine. The state would in
no way interfere with her religious
work, but she must be careful not to
violate the law.
The doctor said he had no knowledge
of the new faith and that Mrs. Francis
must herself determine where medical
practice ended and religious teaching
began. Mrs. Francis promised to keep
within the law and was then permitted
to converse with the prisoners whom
she named Before leaving che had
long talk with DR.. Brewer and endeav
ored to convert him to the new faith,
but the doctor was too strongly inclined
in favor Of the allopathic system and
his own church to believe that "there
is nothing SO material about disease as
to prevent its cure by belief that it
does not exist. "Iart -
DR.. Brewer said that one of Mrs.
Francis converts was in the hospital
recently suffering from asthma. He sent
for DR.. Brewer. who, knowing Of the
mans belief, told him that, according
to Christian Science, there was nothing
the matter with him; that he had evi.
IDENTIFY forgotten the first principles of
his new religious belief and should be
back in his cell. The prisoner said he
agreed with the doctor and returned to
his cell. The next day, however. he
sent for the physician and told him that
there was something wrong with the
science, as it had failed to help him
He asked for medicine, which soon re-
lieved his trouble.-New York Sum
