Boston, August l.-Nrs. Josephine
Woodbury., for some time an Grdent disci-
piine Of Christian Science. and who has
recently figured In the public prints In a
manner aiming TO expose its chief flgu re
as well as its doctrines. has entered suit
against Mrs. Eddy and her chief advisers
for alleged libel
In NIL seven separaps suits are brought.

In the course Of statement given out
by Frederick W. Peabody. Mrs. Wood
bury's attorney, he says the suit IL based
upon the utteranoes OF Mrs. Eddy at tae
recent annual meeting of the Christian
Scientists. He claims that Mrs. Eddy
had Mrs. Woodbury. In mind when she
said In her annual address,
"The doom OF the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS re-
ferred to In Revelations Is being fulfilled.
This woman, drunken with the blood
OF the saints and with the blood Of the

WORK OF THE HEALTH COM MIS-
SIONERS.

One OF the duties of the health commits
sioners is to take all boo ks, belonging to
the public library, which they find in
houses infected with contagious diseases.
These books are burned. and in the
course of a year, many good books are
given up to the flames by the health au-
thorities.
During the month of July nineteen
contagious cases were reported to the
board of health, thirteen diphtheria and
six scarlet fever, and over fifteen books
were secured at the last four houses. One
OF the books was fine edition of Suder-
mans romance, "Es War;" In the ger
man, but this book had to go to. the fire
like all of the others.
The librarians are willing and anxious
that these books be destroyed, even..whsn
they are part Of valuable set. for 1t Is
possible [albhough not always probable,
that the other books In proximity to the
injected one may also become injected
and thus scatter disease professionally
among patrons of libraries. There lie.
too the possibility of larger financial
loss IL the book Is replaced on the shelves
of a library than would happen If the
one book is lost as. II the books become
generally infected. all Of them would nec-
essarily have to be destroyed.
At present scarlet fever predominates
over diphtheriAsin Portland. but there are
few cases of either. and the excellent
sanitary methods pursued by the health
commissioners. make 10 scarcely probable
that the disease will spread to any extent.

duly exhibited nj the house he went back

Women on the Farm.
Rrom the Corvallis Gazette. }


Not all the women on farms are siaves.
but there are more of them than the world
knows anything about. VINO is there that
has not seen the poor, tired face the eye
from which the spirit has fled, the stopped
shoulders and heightened arms, the thin,
grey hair, and other evidences that hope
has been left behind? And, then, who
cares? And there is the pity of it, for the
case is hopeless. Twenty years ago she
went to the farm a bride. with the bloom
of health on her cheek, and the elastic step
of youth. Since that time she has likely
borne a child every year and buried half
OF them: her daily life, when she was able
to be around, has never varied from its
dull round OF. labor. First, she is cook.
washerwoman, and seamstress for the
whole family, including her husband, who.
instead of being a help, is as useless as
an elephant. and perhaps as tyrannical as
the devil. Then she has the cows and the
dairy; the chickens and the pigs, and she
is not so badly off as some if she does not
have to get her own f1rewood. The vegeta-
bic garden usually falls to her share, and
the fruit, with a thousand and one other
things that it would be tedious to enumer-
ate, and which have utterly disheartened
her, until now when she ought to be in
the prime of life, she is ready TO welcome

DEATH that she may find the rest which the
world denies her. The country grayeyards
tombstones say they were less than fifty
when they died. The insane asylum has
many of them. and many are alive who
have lost faith in everything. including
God. Where you find one illustration OF
the man with the hoe, you will find fifty of
the women on the ranch, and while you
have to strain your metaphysical education
TO find any sympathy for the spiritless chap
OF Markham's creation, in the woman'5
case sympathy and help are due her from

SIGNS OF THE TIME.
Sympathy for Dreyfus an Omen of
Chrfst's Presence.


At the Sunday morning services of the
Church of the Covenant the Rev. DR.. Teunis
S. Hamlin preached very interesting ser
mon on THE signs of the time" taking
his text from Luke vii:56 He said: You
are expert in reading weather signs; in what
concerns your comfort, your sowing and
reaping, you have made the subject of care
full study, but in moral questions you are
inexcusably dull But saddest of all you
do not know how TO interpret the signs of
the Messiahs presence. You are wholly
absorbed in your temporal business. Now,
evidently one of our Christian duties is to
interpret THE signs of the time.
What now are some of the Signs of this
timer" Signs that have been manifested
even during the summer that is passing
and that challenge us to enquire. How do
they bear upon the Kingdom of Christi"
DR.. Hamlin then reviewed the political
situation resulting from the war with Spain
and the conference at The Hague.
In speaking to the Dreyfus case he said:
"Our foremost sentiment is profound
sympathy for the wretched victim of race
hatred and military conspiracy. Side by side
with our sympathy burns indignation to-
ward the conspirators and bigots who pirate
about saving honor by perjury, subterfuge,
and the utter betrayal of justice. We are
even In danger of despising and hating a
whole nation before we are sure that the
nation endorses this hideous iniquity. But
assuming that it shall, that France is
actually to make the threatened plunge TO
barbarism IS there no light on so dark a
cloud? If both Dreyfus and the nation must
be victims of the nations madness still the
world has shown an unexpected capacity
for sympathy and righteous Indignation
Who could have believed that Chrfst's spirit
OF brotherhood and love had taken such
hold of mankind, had we not seen it in this

The United States Treasurer will today

at last week by Secretary Gage to relieve
the money stringency in New York, pay
the October interest on four per cent
coupon bonds Of 1907 upon presentation of
the coupons by bondholders. The clerks

checks for payment of interest on register

be sent at the same time to bondholders

Secretary Gage has heard no further
