Hundred Mile Race on the Great Lakes
Won by Forty-Five Seconds

Cleveland, o., June 4.-The hundred
mile race from Cleveland to Erie today
between the Cleveland passenger
steamer City of Erie, owned by the
Cleveland & Buffalo Transit Company.
and the Tashmoo. Detroit's crack pas
senger boat, owned by the White Star
Company, was in many respects the
most noteworthy race ever sailed on
fresh water.
The Erie covered the distance in
hours. 19 minutes and seconds, pass
ing the stake boat at Erie 45 seconds
ahead of the Tashmoo. beating the lat
ter by 45 seconds, elapsed time. 1t was
pronounced by old vessel men TO be
the prettiest race ever witnessed. Aside
from winning the speed championship
of the great lakes, the Erie won about
800, 900 for those who bet on her.
The conditions under which the race
was sailed were ideal. There was a
fair sky and sea as calm as a mill
pond. The course was lined from start
to finish with excursion boats of all
kinds and the shores were crowded at
points with people,. The noisy depar-
tuer of the racers at Cleveland was
duplicated at the finish. Whistles toot-
ed and people cheered both victor and
vanquished. Both boats were stripped
to fighting trim. The decks were clear
ed of everything that would catch the
wind: on board the Erie even the life
boat had been slowed away between
decks. The limited number of specta-
tors carried on each boat were confined
to the cabins. and none were allowed
on the decks. Both racers were made
as light as possible.
From the start the result was in
n nf q
finish. The race demonstrated that
both boats were evenly matched. The
boats approximately made 80 miles an
hour.

The Herron Church Trial

Grinnell, Iowa, June 4.-Professor
George D. Heron, charged with con-
duct unbecoming a minister, was call
ed for trial today in the Congregational
church here. Thirteen churches of the
district were represented by twenty
six jorors, eight Of whom are said to
favor expulsion, even before hearing
the testimony.
Evidence in the Heron divorce suit
was expected to form most of the testi-
mony. Considerable. surprise was ex-
pressed, therefore, when it was an
nounced that DR.. Heron had sent a
letter in his own defense, dealing with
his specific. individual case, and not
with marriage and divorce in general.
The writer states that he was called on
a divine mission as a sort of new pro-
phet and that his wife did not give him
her sympathy and appreciation, SO that
the home atmosphere was uncongenial.
He and his wife discussed the matter
many times, he alleges, and finally
agreed to separate, and he went away,
that the desertion plea might be accep-
table in court.

THE SUIT AGAINST MRS. EDDY
Mr.. Hanna on the Stand-The Plaintiff
Then TeStifieS

Boston, Mass, June 4.-The trial of
the s150,O00 libel suit of Mrs. Josephine
c. Woodbury. against Mrs. Mary Ba-
ker G. Eddy was resumed today with
Septimus j. Hanna, reader of the First
Church of Christ, scientist, of Boston,
editor of The Christian Science Jour-
nal and a close friend Of Mrs. Eddy on
the witness stand. Judge Hanna was
asked if he had in his possession the
original of the message sent by Mrs.
Eddy to the Christian Science Journal
in May 1897. The witness replied that
he had copy of The Journal contain
ing the message and this was offered
as evidence by counsel for Mrs Wood
bury who said that Mrs. Eddy's refer
ence to Mrs. Woodbury. as a person un-
friendly to Christian Science, showed
malice. The Journal was admitted
subject to exception, simply on question
of malice.
Mrs. Eddy's book Science and
Health was produced and the witness
was asked if it was not the Christian
Science text book. Witness said much
of the Christian Science belief was baS-
ed upon it. He did not know if there
was any formulated belief of his church
as to Mrs. Eddys relation to it, nor did
ne KNOW IL IL is the Dellef OF other
Christian Scientists that the communi-
cations of Mrs. Eddy are inspired by
God.
Mrs Woodbury., the plaintiff in the
case, followed Judge Hanna. Mrs.
Woodbury. said that she met Mrs.
Eddy in 1879 in Boston. At that time
she never had heard of Christian Sci
ence. Subsequently she became a be-
lever in Mrs. Eddy, studied Christian
Science with her and was admitted to
the Christian Science association re-
ceiving a certificate or degree from the
college where Christian Science is
taught, signed by Mrs. Eddy as a doc
tor of Christian Science. This certifi-
cate was offered in evidence.
At Mrs. Eddy's request witness made
application to her in 1895 for admission
to the First Church of Christ and was
then directed to send her application
direct to the church. In closing the
letter conveying the direction Mrs.
Eddy used this expression: "Remem-
ber that malicious hypnotism is not ex-:
cuSe for sim
Mrs. Woodbury. was asked to define
malicious hynotism" but she was not
allowed to answer.

Dismissed by the Judge for Want of
Cause OF Action

Boston. June TT have examined
this libel with great care. both while
the arguments were going on and dur
ing the trial. i think the plaintiff has
sustained her case, as / have already
intimated. upon the matter OF pubiica-
ton. As regards the publication In the
church, there is no evidence that any
one there understood the alleged libel
as applying to the plaintiff, so that she
could not recover damages upon this
count. because she had shown no in
jury from 1t.
Taking the libel itself, see nothing
which can In any way be said to fndi-
cate the plaintiff in the first part OF the
libel. The only thing in the libel. ft
seems to me, which can by any rea-
sonahle Interpretation be said to serve
as means OF Identification. are the
words widow and 'widowhood.' which
occur in the latter part Of the mes
sage.
II have come to the conclusion that
even that reference does not absolutely
identify the plaintiff. and IL seems to
me that the plaintiff has not made out
case here which can let go to the
jury. / shall therefore be obliged to
order a verdict for the defendant"
With these words. In the superior
court, Judge Charles q. Bell this after
noon brought to a sudden and unpect-
ed end the famous $150O0O libel suit
brought by Mrs. Josephine Curtis

Mary Baker Eddy OF Concord. n. H
