JUDGE EwrNos LECTURES.
AT BOISE. IDAHO.

At the Columbia yesterday after
noon Judge William G. Ewing OF
Chicago delivered a lecture on
Christian Science. He had an aud
ience that completely filed the
lower part of the house and part
of the gallery. He was listened
to with close attention and all were
much interested in his exposition
of the subject. The lecturer was
introduced by Justice Quarles OF
the supreme court, who said
Ladies and Gentlemen-We have
met here this beautiful afternoon
to hear something Of the principles
of Christian Science, as it will be
expounded by a distinguished gen.
tleman who will tell US some of the
reasons for the faith of the Chris
tian Scientist. The eminent gen.
tleman who will address US was
for many years a distinguished
member of the bench and bar OF
the great state of Illinois, and also
prominent in politics and social
circles. In early life he was a
friend, associate and ardent ad-
mirer of the immortal Abraham
Lincoln. But, Notwithstanding
the pleasure and qualification that
naturally comes to one who achieves
success in social andDIprofessIonal
life-a realization 0of the distin-
guished gentleman with US today
he has forsaken a successful pro-
fessional career, quit travelling a
road that would undoubtedly have
led him to political eminence, and
taken up the work of a missionary
for Christ and humanity, as he
sees 1t.
In introducing the speaker dc
not indorse the views that he may
express; yets like many Others
who differ from him, doubtless like
many of you. l am not thoroughly
conversant with the doctrines ht
teaches. - Hence it is a pleasure, as
we'll as a duty, to listen to him,
and to learn of the principles be
advocates. My friends. have tht
honor and pleasure of introducing
to you the Hon. William G Ewins
of the city of Chicago.-IdahC
Daily Statesman.

PUPILS Offerings

Today was the day set apart for
THANKSGIVING offerings by the pu-
pills of the public schools, and it
seems that every one OF the numer-
Gus pupils Of the various buildings
had something to offer.
The cash contributions amount
ed to $14.25, while the donations
of provisions made a good load for
a wagon.
These ranged from canned corn
to baked turkey, the wagon being
literally loaded with sacks, packa-
ges, boxes and every other form of
receptacle which could accomo-
date the donations of the children.
Live chickens craned their necks
from a box, while the "quack,
quack" of ducks could be heard.
1t is estimated that $50 would
not purchase the provisions donated
by the school children of Ard
lnore's public schools.
All of these donations, with the
$14.35 in cash, were turned over
to the Benevolent society for intel
ligent distribution, and it is safe
to say that many homes will be
brighter tomorrow by reason OF
the generosity of the public school
pupils of Ardmore.
Other donations are flowing in
and the ladies of the Benevolent
society will be kept busy until
tomorrow seeking and ministering
to the wants of the needy.
| But these ladies are not the kind
to shirk duty or even an oppor-
tunity to do good and it is safe to
assume that all the donations will
be distributed with a distinguish.
ing discrimination which always
fits fair womanhood for acts OF
charity and benevolence.
| The ARDMoREITE feels that it is
in a measure responsible for the
good which will be accomplished,
for it pointed out both the oppor.
tunity and the necessity in Sun
days issue as follows:
This is the kind of weather, too,
which suggests activity in the be-
nevolent societies and opens the
purse of the philanthropist. For
with cold comes suffering to the
needy-clothes and fuel and some
times food are needed. The present
cold spell offers opportunities to
the benevolently Inclined in Ard
more, and perhaps some activity
along this line during the early
days of the week will make Thurs
days dinner even more enjoyable
by the thoughts of good deeds per
formed.

In 1899 (when the monsoon broke that regulated the harvests of 1900. the deficiency was Il inches or 27 per cent. Such a deficit Is unparal- leled in Indian records. In the middle of May. 1897. an area of 205000 square miles, with population of 4O,0OO 00o per sons. was affected Tn the middle of Nav. 1900 the figures were 417000 square miles Cor nearly q quarter of the entire extent of the Indian empire) and 54. 900 900 persons.

MT. Lemuel Ely Quigg feels better, and he has right to. When Chicago paper made the curious charge that a member of the Platform committee at the Philadelphia convention had receiv- ed s50O0 for insinuating the word "Isthmlan" into the canal plank ot the platform he, as a member of the com mittee, felt that he couldn't afford to let the charge go unnoticed. So he promptly put libel suit in motion against the paper that made the charge The paper has apologized to MT. Quigg' It has also discovered that the change from "Nicaraguan'' to "Isthmian' was made by MT Martin B. Madden, of Chi- cago, and that it was wise and proper change to make
 Of course. Why anybody should be willing to pay $5,000 for the change was never apparent, and as nobody did it IS now apparent that the canal plank or the platform is all right.
