Mrs. Eddv,s PARALYSIS.

It is said that Mrs Eddy. the mother
OF Christian Science" is at present af-
fiicted with yshat might be fondly referred
to by her followers as "a belief in paraIy-
sis" which makes It necessary for her to
keep her room. This is truly a curious de-
velopment.
&Es. Eddy occupies position unique in
the history of religious leaders. None OF
them ever challenged fate quite as di-
parently expected an out-and-out miracle
TO sustain their claims to power Some
have assumed ability TO work miracles
themselves, if the conditions were right:
others have asserted that wonders would
be brought to pass in their tehalf. to save
them or their followers from persecution.
But never before in the history Of the
world has anybody deliberately asserted
that common, ordinary people can sue
cessfully oppose the forces of nature and
that miracles are as common among be-
levers in certain doctrines as the leaves
in the woods OF VaIlombrosa.
There is. OF course. a loophole for the
Christian Scientist to use as an exit in
the case of the ordinary person who fails

MINING IN SPAIN.
Consular Agent Harris Says the
Country Is Rich in Ores.

In a report recently made 70 the State

Harris at BibenstOck. enclosed a clipping
i-on the "Allgemeine Zeitung." published
at Munich, in regard TO the mining and
smelling industries CT Spain. Il reads g
i0;iows-
1t has been known for a long time that
Spain is rich in mineral ore. Want OF en-
terprise and capital have hindered the de-
yelOpment of these hidden treasures; but
there are signs which indicate that this
stagnation will be thrown of Spain ex-
ports each year a great deal OF iron ore
In 1876 the Kingdom exported 359 tons Of
copper; in 1899, IL had increased to 40
600 tons; and in 1899. TO / OO0 900 tons
From 1890 TO 1899, Spain's exports OF lead
increased from 40. 600 tons to 172.l3 tons.
During this time. the exports Of ores o.

and a lack Of faith in the powers OF Chris
tian Science has not yet been explained.
But in the case of the mother and origi-
nator OF the whole cult it can hardly be al
legged that she has not faith enough TO do
what any ordinary person can. If it is
possible, as she in her book declares it is.
for the average human being to become
proof against disease and death, she sure
ly ought to set the example. But she does
not appear to have power enough over her
own organism to do anything OF the kind
Mrs. Eddy. together with certain of her
followers, appears to be singularly imper-
vious to such practical ideas. They all
preach that # a woman who believes in
Christian Science has a baby three years
Old. and that baby has diphtheria, il is that
woman's duty to call in "healers" to pray
over the little thing and thus get rid of
the membrane which. under ordinary cir
cumstances. might choke it TO death. If
there IS scarlet fever in the family Of a
believer, it is not his duty TO let the
Health Department know. or isolate his
children OF account OF a foolish belief IN
the disease. Scarlet fever and diphtheria
are imaginary ailments. But though the
suffering of others is not real, greenbacks
are. and so are costly temples, and other
material aids 10 the happiness OF the
healer; and it remains to be seen whether
or not Mrs Eddy's paralysis is fact.

Military events in South Africa again
appear to be greatly in favor OF the Britt: h.
The surrender of Klerksdorp to Hunter
places another railway in the hands of Lord
Roberts. The Beers in Orange River
Colony, south of the Senekal- -Ficksburg
line are apparently cut off by the forces
c. Rupdle and Brabant, while Kitchener is
driving the commandos near the Vaal,
northeast. Botha is retreating in the direc-
tion of Lydenburg, upon which point IL Is
likely that Roberts, with the main British
Army, and Butler will concentrate It
would then be possible, perhaps, to rag his
forces, as it is suspected that the column
under Darlington, which has been march,
ing through Swaziland. will turn up BE-
hind Lydenburg by the time the Beers fall
back that far. The general outlook seems
10 be that the next three or four weeks
may cover the period of further organized
Boer resistance, although there may Re
guerrilla fighting afterward.

MRS. SPENCER ON SUFFRAGE.
Wife Of the Alabama Senator Talks
of Woman's Rights.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Mrs. George f.
Spencer. widow of United States Senator
Spencer of Alabama. Ieetured last night
at the Manhattan Liberal Club on the sub
ject OF woman suffrage In an address
which strongly advocated the extension Of
the franchise to women Mrs. Spencer re-
viewed at the outset the condition in law
OF married women at the beginning OF the
century. when they had practically no
rights in property or even in their own
children, and then went on to describe the
gradual progress which had been made
since that period in lettering the legal
status of women
The time had now come. Mrs. Spencer
urged. when the propriety OF giving the
privilege q voting TO her sex should be
recognized. She dwelt upon the beneficial
influences which women had exerted in
those states which had granted the suf-
frage to their female population. Taking
Wyoming as an example. Mrs. Spencer de-
clared that more drunkenness and more
crime ex ted IN that State than in any
other in the Union prior to the institution
OF the suffrage for women. And in con-
tending that women we're not actuated by
selfish motives in asking for the franchise
Mrs Spencer drew another example from
wyoming. When in consequence of the
bestOwal CT the suffrage It was questioned
whether Wyoming would be admitted to
Statehood. the women met In convention
and decided that rather than this should
happen they would abandon their preten-
sions 10 voice in the affairs Of their
State But the men Of Wyoming refused
to accept this abnesation and determined
that they would not have Statehood at
the expense Of the exclusion from the polls
OF their wives and daughters
That" Mrs. Spencer declared. was the
union OF man and woman in its truest
sense" The arguments against female
suffrage, she asserted, were feeble. II had
been said that women did not desire the
responsibilities which the suffrage would
bring. The falsity of/such a contention
she maintained, was obvious when il was
recalled that there never was and never
would be an election where woman's in
fuence had not been felt. ard where her
efforts had lot been devoted to the solici-
tation of votes.
Although political parties" Mrs. Spen-
Ger observed. use her influence 70 get
votes. that influence without the dignity
Of the suffrage is but a poor position"
Proceeding to discuss her subject from a
sociological point Of view, Mrs Spencer
said that the exercise OF the franchise
would work for q higher condition aad
broader mental development for women

The Chinese Reign of Terror.

We are in receipt Of a special despatch
from Tientsin today which conveys the ap-
palling statement that all the foreign le-
cations in Pekin have been destroyed, and
that Baron Ketteler the German Minister
to China, has been killed. We would be
glad to accept this report with some re-
serve but fear that it is true, since al
though the wires are down between Taku
and the capital, the Russo Chinese tele-
graph line via Kiaktia. is again working
to within a short distance Of Pekin, and
the news probably comes by that way.
1t is fearfully probable that. admitting
the story to be true. it does not cover the
full facts. II all the legations have been
attacked and destroyed. there is little
room for hope that any Of the foreign
diplomats or other foreigners in the lega-
tion quarter have escaped massacre. On
the theory that it is possible to receive
confirmatory news by way of Kiaktia, the
world should not be kept long in suspense
in regard to the alleged horror. But it is
possible, assuming that the information
already at hand came to a Russian force ap-
preaching Pekin. that its commander may
not have been able to secure full particu-
lars, as the city is reported as being 1eld
by one hundred thousand Chinese troops,
many Of them armed with Mausers, and
having a powerful equipment Of modern
artillery.
In view of the startling nature OF the
news. and OF what it implies. there is ap
parent danger that we may next hear Of
the overpowering and butchery Of the re-
lief column Of fifteen hundred marines
and sailors under Vice Admiral Seymour
and Captain McCalla. at last reports it
was immobile at Lang Fang. opposed in
front. and threatened with attack in re-
verse, and, to make the situation worse,
in dire distress for want Of water. Re
endorsements have been sent, the second
detachment. consisting Of two thousand
I
this morning. They may have moved. in
which case they will have to fight through
the Chinese forces now between Tientsin
and Lang Fang; or they may have been
compelled to halt and fight at Tientsin.
The wires south Of that place were cut
today, and that may mean that the
Chinese are in possession of the town
after defeating its garrison. A report
from Shanghai last night stated that the
native quarter had been taken and the
local officials burned at the stake.
On an occasion like the present we have
not a word to say in criticism OF what
may or may not appear to be a criminal
delay on the part of our national authori-
ties in landing 4 respectable American
force at Taku to protect the lives and prop
erty of our citizens. 1t is said that Il will
take a week to transport a brigade OF
troops from Manila to the scene OF dis
turbance. At least that minimum force
should have gone to China with Rear Ad-
miral Kempr. We have no doubt that
now the Administration will wake up and
do something. even if the situation appears
SO serious that to accomplish anything ef-
fective il should be necessary to call an
extraordinary session Of Congress.

Politics and Crops.-The whisper in
inner financial circles is that the present
sharp advance in the price Of wheat is not
due, except nominally, TO the recent
drought in the Northwest. AS a matter of
fact. the Government crop report indicates
very large wheat crop. an increase Of TO-
Oo0.00O bushels. at least. from that of last
year If, as dispatches indicate. the re-
cent Fains in the Northwest have saved
tie threatened crop in that sect on. the in
crease over last year throughout the coua-
try Will be even much greater. Notwith-
stauling these facts, wheat is now selling
for "a cents busheI, an advance OF several
cLJ-s in the last month. The actual reason
for this. say the knowing ones, is politics.
The price must be advanced during the
campaign TO save the farmer vote. Sixty
cent wheat will lose many thousands Of
votes 10 the Republicans, il is said. AMI
S0-cent wheat would hold all that were
held in 1896. and perhaps more. One Of
the chief arguments Of the Republicans Ia
the campaign OF 1896 was that wheat prices
would not decrease with the advent Of the
gold standard Then came a large crop
and at the same time an immense demand
from Europe and the remainder OF the
Orld. bringing with it money for the
farmers Now. however. the price has been
decreasing naturally until within the few
past weeks, while the prices Of al manu-
factured goods, the products Of the trusts,
have been advancing steadily.
