Camden, n. J.. says: Christian Science
failed to restore the hearing of Miss Kate
McCulloch, but she says ii got $1,000. and
yesterday she sought the aid of the court
of chancery to recover the cash.
Miss McCuloch, whose home is at Voor-

DR.. George Tomkins c. S. She says she
gave DIR. Tomkins power of attorney to
look after her affairs while she proceeded
to resort to prayer. Still her ears remained

BY and by she thought DIR. Tomkns

business, particularly as he had collected
5000 for her. He had given her 81 per
week to pay her board but that was not
wholly satisfactory. So she asked him
about it.
'Oh. that's all right, my dear sister" the
doctor is alleged to have said. I'm taking
care of your money"
Miss McCulloch thought it time to do
something. she sought Lawyer Harry

Her father was Matthew St. Clair Clarke,
who was clerk of the National House of
Representatives from 1872 to 1893 and
sixth auditor of the treasury in 1913. The
mother of Mrs. Franklin was Hannah
Rhea Smith of New York city. She was
married at West Point July Z, 1852. at
the home of r. S. Smith of the United

The only remaining near relative of the

it was not expected at the time that
answer could be received at the
earliest until week or ten DAYS. The
answer being received today, in nine
days, is, therefore, within the origi-
nal range of expectation.
Until the receipt of the answer
from Minister Conger the most cir
cumstantial details as to conditions
in Pekin represented the legations to
have been massacred July g or !,
probably the latter date.
Immediately following the publica-
ton of these details, however, came
a dispatch, through Minister WI,
from Chinese OFFICIALS, asserting that
the legations were safe July 9.
The dispatch to Mr. Conger was
sent, it will thus be seen, two DAYS
later than the latest date on which
word of any kind was received con-

During his removal today Mar.

of the nearness of death, and ad-
yised him to employ his time in
making peace with his Maker, and
implore of him forgiveness.
Tears moistened the eyes of the
doomed man during the brief and
quiet recital, and was the only
evidence of feeling which he has
displayed.
He partakes heartily of his food,
and when informed that.he could
get anything he desired to order
in the way of food, replied that he
was getting all he wanted and had
no desire for anything else.

him continuously are E. NJ. Berry

old Jail guards.
In his cell Bias seems perfectly
contented, has nothing to say, and
seems wholly indifferent to the fate
which awaits him, on next Friday
when he will hang by the neck
until he is dead, unless perchance
the presidents clemency inter
venes.
