Christian science in the West.

From the New York Tribune.
Christian Science. it seems has begun TO
agitate the minds bf physicians in the west.
DR.. W. P. Mills, who arrived in this city
yesterday from Missoula, Mont, town
of about 5000 inhabitants, told a Tribune
reporter Hast evening that one of the OBJ
jects of his 4isit'was to find out what
measures are,beinE taken here in the east
to suppress the sect. DR.. Mills is staying
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

tian Science in the west is gaining many
recruits. 1t Is neither Christianity nor sci

under which it received its cognomen must
have been the same as that applied to the

called guinea pig, first. because 1t isn't

from Guinea.
Something ought to be done to save ig-
norant and weak-minded people from the
frauds of these impostors. or course, l
realize that it is very difficult to legislate
against them, but there must be some way
to stop their shameful malpractice. 1t may
be that the people can be educated away

MORE SUGAR TESTIMONY.
Mr.. Jarvie Continued His Evidence
Before the Industrial COmmissiOn.

Mr. J. N Jarvie of the firm of Arbuckle
Bros. continued his testimony yesterday
afternoon before the industrial commission.
When asked how long the rival companies
could keep on selling sugar at a loss MI.
Jarvie replied cheerfully that he thought
a concern supplying 90 per cent Of the sugar
sold in this country would lose more under
those conditions than the firm supplying
the other 10 per cent, and that he had the
10 per cent end of the bargain now.
He explained the entrance of the Arbuc-
kles into the sugar field by saying that in
'93 they secured machine for weighing
and packing sugar and undertook to sell
package sugar to the wholesale trade. They
bought from the American Refining Com
pany, but found they could make no profit
in that way, and SO started their own re-
finery.
of the American Sugar Refining Company,
saying he really knew nothing about them.
Since the Arbuckle refinery had been run
ming they had had no conference with the
American company in regard to a CONSOLE
dalton or an agreement on prices. He said
he knew one way to stop the intense COM
petition now going on in the sugar refining
business and that was for the American
Sugar Refining Company to be satisfied to
sell less than 100 per cent of all the sugar
sold in this country.
He said that it would cost about 50 900 900
to build a sugar refinery with a capacity
of 100000 pounds of refined sugar day,
or 5000 barrels a day. The entire cost
would depend upon the cost of the neces-
sary ground, which he did not include in
his estimate.
He did not care to discuss the tariff ques-
ton, as he said he had not been in the
business long enough to learn the effect of
the tariff on the sugar business. 1t was
common belief among rein cries that a
quarter of a cent a pound was necessary to
protect the industry in this country from
foreign competition. The domestic competi-
ton IS now keeping the foreign competition
out.
When questioned in regard to the effect
of the sugar trust going in the coffee BUSH
ness the witness said:
The American Sugar Refining Company.
we believe, bought the Wilson Spice Com
pany in January, 1897. Roasted coffee was
then selling at 10 cents pound and green
coffee at about 10 cents. The price Of the
American today is S1a cents and the grade
of green coffee they using is worth
about cents. The price of Arbuckle's
coffee at that time was Is cents; now 1t is
cents for the roasted coffee.
1t is only fair to say that this reduction
in price was not caused by the American
Sugar Company. 1t was the result of an
increased production, which had increased
from II, 600 900 to 5000, 600 pounds year."

Model Lodging Houses In Glasgow.

From Municipal Affairs
1t is now about thirty years since the city
of Glasgow went into the lodging house

had been built up a densely populated sys-

His Idea of Luxury,

From the New York Tribune.
A story is told of an Arizona prospector
who, after thirty years of bad luck, hard
ship and privation, finally struck 1t rich a
few weeks ago In the vicinity of Flagstaff,
and sold half interest in his prospect hole:
for $4,000 cash. When the money was paid
over to him at the bank the cashier. who
had known him for a long time. remarked

Bill thought a minute In silence. and then,
as a pleased expression frightened up his
rugged face. he answered:

stun hereafter" . {
That was his idea of luxury. He had
lived so long on salt pork and heavy bis
cults of his own manufacture that canned
corn beef and tomatoes and salmon repre-
sented to him the highest Injuries that life
could AFFORD.
