BOSTON, Oct BY means of seven
libel suits, the papers in which were fled
at the clerks office of the Superior Court
in this city yesterday, Mrs. Josephine Cur
tis Woodbury. seeks to recover heavy dam
ages from the leaders of the Christian
Science cult, to establish her innocence OF
certain charges which she AYERS Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy made against her public
ly, and to expose what she alleges are the
''nefarious practices of the Christian
Scientists. The declaration in her suit
against Mrs. Eddy for $4,000 damages
consists of something like 5000 words.
The ground of all the complaint is the
same. but there are differences Of time
and places of publication.
Mrs. Woodbury. was formerly Chris
tian Scientist herself, but in 1896, she
claims, Mrs. Eddy communicated her.
She says she was notified Of no charges
against her, but Mrs. Eddy's excommuni-
cation carried with it social ostracism
and caused the defendant TO be abandoned.
Stunned, and avoided by all so-called
Christian Scientists, many of whom are
estimable and mcst exemplary people,
Furthermore, she says that Mrs. Eddy's
persecution, slander, and defamation OF the
plaintiff became so persistent, aggressive.
and damaging" that her husband. e. Frank
Woodbury., since dead, had to notify Mrs.
Eddy that she would be held accountable
at law if the annoyance did not cease.
The alleged libels complained of were
uttered in Mrs. Eddy's address at the
nual communication service OF the Sci
entists in the First or Mother Church in
Boston, on June 4. Mrs. Woodbury. gives
several quotations from Mrs. Eddy's adj
dress, which she claims libels the plaintiff.
The complaint says that divers good and
worthy citizens believing the ISLANDERS so
promulgated refuse to have transactions or
acquaintance with her and that her repu-
tation has been damaged TO the extent of

General Harri.on,a Arguments,

(From the st. Louis Globe -Democrat.)
1t is said that former President Harrison's argu-
ment before the Paris Arbitration Commission in
favor of Venezuela in the dispute with England
is making very favorable impression. This is
likely TO be the fact. The former President is e
very pointed and intelligent taker. On this par
ticular question it is said that he made elaborate
preparation. and he is a painstaking student,

telling about them in pleasing way, his address
will probably be a valuable contribution TO the

interest in the question, and IL is said that the

Corn Crop Guesses.
tFrom the Atehison Globe.) }

'.My corn will average fifty bushels per acre.
a farmer said to ''Globe'' reporter today. We
asked him how he knew, and he said he walked
through the field and guessed at it. A discussion
of the subject developed that this particular
farmer had never seen corn measured, to determine
the yield per acre. You often hear farmers say
that their corn averages so much per acre, but
it seems they guess at it. Presumably their
guesses are accurate, but nobody knows certainly
anything about it, 1t is said that Kansas will
have 500, 900, 900 bushels of this year. An
other guess. 1t is positively known that Kansas
has more corn than any other State, and that no
other State ever before raised an equally large
crop. but whether the yield is three or four hun
dred million bushels, nobody knows, and nobody
ever win know.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 3.-Some of the

"You half-share in what I've risked

But just then thought struck him
which checked his anger, and brought
a mischievous twinkle into his bright
eyes.
''You drive hard bargain" said he;
"but l suppose there's no help for it.

take this fellow inside. ard carry the
fish to his highness."
In speaking thus the worthy porter
was counting upon Antonio's being
paid and sent away without more ado
But the prince was so delighted at get
ting his turbot after all, that he called
the young fisherman up into the bal
cony, where he was sitting with his
guests, and babe him name his own
price.
"My price," said Antonio, is a hun

Are you mad?" cried the prince,

humor the supposed joke, so be it. Tie
him up, grooms; but strike gently"
He was obeyed; but at the fiftieth
stroke, Antonio called out:
Hold l have partner"
"And who is the partner in this hope
full venture?" laughed :he prince.
Your own porter, who made me
promise him half share of whatsoever
I got"
And he shall have it," declared the
prince. Drag him hither, grooms, and
lay on as IT, you were threshing corn"
But the grooms needed no urging to
pay the porter for all his insolence, and
the courtyard echoed with his yels.
Meanwhile the prince awarded Antonio
with hundred gold crowns, and prom
ised that the knavish porter should be
dismissed forthwith; but Antonio who
was not the man to be hard on a fallen
enemy, interceded for him and begged
him off.
"rll spare you this time, rascal "said
the prince TO this rolling and roaring
porter; but beware how you offend
again. You think yourself very clever
no doubt; but this time you've been too
cler by half"
And the porter himself was of much
the same opinion.-Golden Days.
