we make haste to say that there are con-

some Of the monuments there are almost
as fine as any in Hollywood. Within
few years past some very costly mohu

sidering the great men and beloved wo-

well ask ourselves IL we. as people
have done our duty towards that sacred

We know of no way to effect this OBJ

will raise a fund, and see to It's appNca-

IFS part. and is furnishing guard TO
keen out trespassers, but something
more is needed, and it can only be sup

In our opinion the general appearance
of the cemetery is not what it should be.
There have been stories that the ceme-
terry is in utter neglect" &c. That Is
untrue. We are not basing our appeal
upon any such nonsense as that No;
our view is that. by proper effort upon
the part Of our people, the progress OF
decay should be arrested as far as pos
sible. and that each year something
should be done to beautify the place.
Thus. in time, It may be made a spot
which we may show with pride, as the
burying-ground of many who helped TO
iay the foundation of Richmond's pros
perity. and who were foremost in the
society which distinguished Richmond's
past.

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUIT.

The religious sect known as Christian
Scientists has begun to figure most con-
spicuously and unfavorably in the courts
tbroughout our land. The law journals
are bristhng with references 10 the
status of these persons, and show that
In nearly every case they have been
severely condemned by those who ad-
minister the law. Less and less leniency
IS being shown them every day.
The latest litigation engendered by the
doctrines and teachings of the Christian
Scientists is suit for libel, which now
ongrosses thu attention Of the Boston
public While il would, perhaps, be UNI
Just TO judge the case entirely by the
statements. set forth in the declaration,
enough may be CLEANED therefrom TO see
that a shameful state of affairs exists
In the Hub city" and that the Scien-
lists. to put it mildly. are allowing re-
ligious frenzy to overcome their reason
and judgment.
The plaintiff, Mrs. Josephine Curtis
Woodbury., In her statement, which, by
the way, contains upwards Of 1900
words, ayers that for some years prior
70 1886 she was herself a believer in the
teachings Of the sect, and in the almost
blasphemous representations Of the de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. The
latter 1t appears. is the head of the
Church IN Boston, and claims divine
inspiration. etc. She bases these astound-
In
language appearing in the twelfth chap
ter Of the Book OF Revelations, and
claims 70 be the realization of ScrlptuIal
prophecies
For some reason Mrs. Woodbury. appa-
rently incurred the dislike OF Mrs. Eddy,
the defendant, and as a consequence the
complainant was publicly "excommuni-
Gated" In the First Church OF Christ
gseienusO. This process OF excommuni-
cation, II the averments of the declara-
ton may be believed. consisted in the
reading of q paper which assailed Mrs.
Woodbury. in the most uncompromising
way and charged her with unmention-
able offences. The frightful and al
most unparalleled assault on the plain
tits character her attorney feel
ingly describes as false. scandalous,
vindictlve, revengeful. malicious. and de-
famatory."
The alleged libel was not only read in
the presence OF a large congregation,
but was published in a magazine Of the
sect.
Mrs. Woodbury.. in her declaration. as
serts that she has now recovered heI
mental equilibrium"-that II, eschewed
the doctrines OF the Scientists-and that
upon investigation she has found their
teachings wholly fraudulent. Shortly af-
ter her "excommunication" she published
an expose of the doctrines and beliefs
OF the Scientists. and this appears &C
have brought special wrath upon her.
Whatever may be the actual merits OF
this remarkable case, the most unpre
JUDGED reader cannot but lament the
controversy and shudder at the way the
Holy Scriptures have been injected into
charges involving offences OF the ugliest
possible nature.

uEwaRDING WAR HEROES.

There is an editorial in Saturdays issue
of the imperlalist Boston Herald which.
considering the source. is decidedly mys-
tifying. AS a rule. the Herald says what
It has 10 say very clearly and simply. 1t
leaves little TO be read between the lines.
IT generally starts out with a definite
proposition, keeps that proposition in
view. and reaches definite. though not
always sound. conclusion.
The article In question, however, begins
nowhere. meanders about in a vague and
apparently aimless sort Of way through
three-quarters OF q column Of space, and
ends where II begins. 1t Is headed, "Ad-

THE sHUBRICK LAUNCHING.

Now that a date for the launching Of
the Shubrick has been fixed upon, it be-
hooves our citizens of all classes TO turn
in and aid the Civic Carnival Committee
and the ship-yard authorities in every
way in their power to the end of max
ing the demonstration on the occasion a
memorable one.
And the occasion will be worthy Of
any demonstration Of the character pro-
posed that can be gotten up. 1t will
mark q great event in the industrial his
tory of Richmond-an event great, not
only as showing what has been accom-
plished within very short time in the
matter of establishing a new and i'm
portant enterprise, but great in its pro-
mise of industrial development in other
directions. 1t will silence the doubling
Thomases who were wont to wag their
heads at those who, in days gone by,
exploited Richmond's advantages as a
ship-building point, and will prove an
inspiration TO other ventures in the COM
munity, that have been discouraged by
skeptics, but are equally as feasible
as the construction and launching of
ships.
And in order that the possibilities of
the future may be the more quickly re-
allied, we should aim to bring as many
people TO the launching from far and
near as possible. We should make the
Shubrick a notable advertisement for the
community. This can be done by the
citizens generally standing shoulder TO
shoulder with the committee and the
ship-yard people IN ensuring such attrac-
tive features in the demonstration pro-
all over the country.

found evidences of elaborate prepare
tions for evacuation. On the railroad
the rails and ties for about mile had
been torn up and probably thrown
into the river.
Gen. Macarthur started for Malolos
at seven o'clock yesterday morning
with two rapid-fre guns thanking the
track, two guns of the Utah battery
ON the right and two guns of the Sixth
artillery on the left of the rapids,
firing continuously. The Kansas and
Montana regiments moved from Malo'
los and the Nebraska and Pennsylvania
regiments and the Third artillery kept
along the right of the railroad. The
only effective stand made by the rebels
was at bamboo and earthenwork
fortifcation half mile from Malolos
and on the right, where the Nebras'
ka regiment as was the case Thurs.
day, had the hardest work and suffered
the greatest loss. Col. Funston, al
ways at the 'front.' was the first man
in Malolos, followed by a group of
dashing Kansans The Filipino flag,
which was flying from the center of
the town, was hauled down by some
men of the Montana regiment, who
triumphantly raised their own above it.
From the columns of smo Ike arising
from the city it seemed as If the whole
place was ablaze. 1t turned out, how
ever, that only the presidential, or
government building, and few of the
smaller buildings, had been set fire to
by the rebels before they evacuated
the place.

Lincoln, Neb,, April by unani-
nous vote the lower house of the leg
islature expunged from the records
the resolution censuring Col. Stotsen-
berg, of the First Nebraska. The res
olution was the result of charges that
the colonel, who is a regular army Of
ficer, was unnecessarily harsh with
the men. Later reports indicate that
the men are more than satisfied with
their colonel and this, together with
the brilliant work of the regiment UNI
der his leadership, has caused change
of opinion in the state.
