Madame and Jean-Marie were sum-

In hasty toilets; they found the Doctor,
raving, calling the heavens to witness
and avenge his injury, pacing the room
barefooted, with the tails of his night

"Gone!" he said: 'the things are

know of this? Speak up, sir, speak up!
Do you know of it? Where are they?"
He had him by the arm, shaking him
like a bag, and the boys words, if he
had any, were jolted forth in inarticu-
late murmurs. The Doctor, with a re-
vulsion from his own violence, set him
down again. He observed Anastasie

And he dosed the family all round,
leading the way himself with a double

unnecessary cruelty to Captain Carter to
keep him in suspense, and to make it i'm
possible for him to take any active share
in the business operations in which he i:
supposed to be interested. One of his ole
alleged partners. Gaynor, is again at worl
for the Government, and, as soon as th'
court martial case is closed, and out Of tn

litical and financial influences welded b.

New Scientific Methods.

There is a new variety OF Christian Sci
ence on the market, and if the public can
be treated to thorough explanation of its
methods there may be a salutary movement
against the whole business. The latest
healer operated in Chicago and his sue
cess for a time was phenomenal He cured
people right and left and effected results
which somewhat puzzled the regular physi-
clans. who did not quite see how physical
changes could follow purely mental causes
in just the way that they seemed TO do in
his cases. The doubters were silenced and
the faithful crowed in glee.
But there was a revelation to come, and
il was not exactly religious, being one of
those secular things which cause defeetions
from the church and bad language among
the prophets. Somebody watched this sci
enlist and found that he was dosing his
/ patients with medicine, administered sur
reptitiously in their food and drink. Thus
he was able to produce all the effects of
quinine, killer, paregoric, or other
remedies. apparently by the influence of his
mighty brain. 1t was not so miraculous as

rascal to be found in the American con-
stitution, but even the Chicago constitution
cannot stand a clumsy scamp. Perhaps
this innovation in the methods of Christian
Science will prove good, and perhaps not.
On the whole, it seems as if a person who
is being dosed with drugs of any sort would
be more comfortable if he knew what he

At any rate the reported views OF Mr.,

the silver plank, and these leaders, It is
said, were assured that aside from gen
eral reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
in its entirety which would probably be
done in a single paragraph, there would
be no mention of silver in the new plat

ly excited over the reported programme OF
their leader, and declare that such move
would stir up pronounced opposition

to the omission of silver from the plat

of the Bryan campaigners, according to Mr..
Abbots reported utterances, is TO make

the antitrust issue will be subordinated
to it. In line with this policy it has been
decided to send an emissaTy 10 the Philip

Territory Of the Union. He says that his
romsnces are didactic, and that in this
popular way be teaches the people some
thing. True, he has never been in the
