NE GOT HIS WORK IN IN GOOD SHAPE

New York, Aug s.-The kissing of wo-
men to cure them OF the ills that mere
flesh is heir TO is the latest addition to
the ritual adopted by the masculine lead
ers OF the Christian Scientist church.
Some time ago Miss Clara McCulloch @;
that city went 20 Rev. George Tomkins.
leader of the Christian Science church in
Camden, N. j.. and asked him If he could
cure her of partial deafness. Miss Nc
Culloch is prepossessing. and had inher-
ited a small fortune invested in Camden
real estate.
The Rev. Tomkins was greatly inter-
ested. Deafness. he declared, was dull
delusien; IL existed only in her ear, and
he swore by the book of Mrs. Eddy that
II Miss McCulloch would trustingly swal-
low the contents OF that tome she would
be able to hear the tunes sung by the
choir invisible.
Miss McCulloch did not hear every
thing her reverend mentor said. but she
believed all she heard.
The Christian Scientist convinced her
that one of the nrst things she must alb
lure was her belief In the existence OF
matter. All was spirit. Her clinging to
the false substances of this earth had
impaired her finer vision and incident
ally beclogged her tympannum.
Her faith in the unrealities of Camden
real estate was doubtless casting a shad-
pw on her title to mansions In the skies.
That she might be entirely emancipated
from the deadening effect of earthly
things. he announced his willingness to
shift the burden of her holdings 10 his
kDwn shoulders.
He became her financial agent as well
bas spiritual guide. When not engaged
an reading to her from Mrs. Eddy's chap
steY on the "All Hearing Ear" he was
diligently collecting her rents and de-
posting them where the Jingle of her rev.
enues would not jar the serenity OF her
spiritual exaltation.

BUT SHE GREW WORSE.

BY discreet stages he advanced her In
christian Science to the point where he
felt Il safe to perform the rite of ascula-
tion. She had been led TO believe that
this act of compliance on her part would
betoken her passage into a world OF har-
smony, and that the deafness that af-
s1icted her would disappear as speedily
as had her encumbering rentals
Whether her ears at last protested
against the glorified rot dinned into them
imay not be known. But the fact that
ther hearing began TO grow worse now
disturbed her faith. II her hearing, how
bever, had not been improved by her ex-
-perience with Christian Science she felt
convinced that her eyes had been opened
tand in defiance Of her teachings she
aound her way to the Office of one w. T.
Boyle, attorney at law OF Camden.
MT. Boyle promptly investigated. He
discovered. he states. that the Rev. Nr.
Tomkins had collected $4,000. for which
NE had failed to account. and that when
commissioned 10 purchase for his spir-
1tual ward a house at 426 Linden street
Camden, had had the deed of convey
ance made out to himself.
The property, said to be a valuable one
In the choice residence section, was for

field Baker. with whom DR.. Tomkns
boards. IT is asserted by Attorney Boyle
that this pious man originated and engi-
neered the whole transaction, and had
: prepared to use the residence as a par
eonage.

fifth street, sustained serious injuries
by an accident on the B. & o. railroad
near Thirty-third street last evening
about half-past seven O'Clock.
1t is reported that the lad was play
ing with some of his young companions
near the track and attempted to board
a yard engine which was approaching
the crossing at the. ordinary rate of
speed. AS he did so he tripped and
fell across the track and the wheels OF
the engine passed over his body AS
result the unfortunate boy had his
head badly bruised and the lower part
of his right leg frightfully crushed.
He was at once cared for by the train
men and others in the vicinity and
later removed to the Haskins hospital,
where he was given medical aid as
quickly as possible. TWAS found nee
essary to amputate the injured leg at
a point between the knee and ankle
at late hour the attending physi-
clan stated that young Blattler was
resting as comfortably as could be ex-
pected and that while his injuries are
OF a serious and painful nature the
prospects are very encouraging that
he will recover.
