MORE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

The Marion News tells of serious
state of affairs at Elhanan Institute,
where Miss Perry, a Christian Science
preacher, has been teaching that ty
phoid fever and the like can be cured
by faith. We quote:
Edward Bright is lying at the point
of death at the old Foster house. He
has typhoid fever. When taken sick
he was engaged in teaching telegraphy
and typewriting in the Elhanan In
stitute. His relations not having
heard from him in weeks, William
went to the institute Friday and found
his brother in a critical condition. The
sick man said he had repeatedly asked
for physician, but no doctor had been
sent for. Prayer and faith, in the
opinion of his custodians, is the cure for
all diseases incident to humanity. DrS.
G. s. Kirby and George p. Reid were
called in and they had their patient re-
moved to the Foster house. He is low,
but getting along reasonably well.
REV. Mr.. Perry got sick, fingered
and died at the institute several months
ago without a physician-without medi-
cine. God moves in a mysterious way.
He took away His useful instrument,
despite heartfelt prayer and implicit
faith.
Mr. J. c. Pool tells us that one of
Miss Perrys disciples preached at
Round Hill Sunday night During his
discourse his attention was attracted
to some rude boys. He announced that
he would pray God to strike them dead
in inn foe nd
Tossing sanctification to the altar to as
sist him in accomplishing the feat.
while the series of tent meetings
were being held in rear of the court
house there was a maniac in Jail. Every
now and then he would disturb the ex-
ercises. Miss Perry assumed that he
was afflicted with devils and the inn
precautions that fell upon the unfortun-
ate and unconscious wretch were dread
full Miss Perry's sincerity and devout-
ness in unquestioned That she has ac-
complshed good is evident. Far be 1T
from us to impair, in the least, her OPP
portunities for usefulness. Religion.
when tempered with common sense, is
the best thing in the world; fanaticism
run wild is dangerous and should be
bridled and curbed by law !. The treat
ment of Mr.. Bright was a grievous
wrong, nay a moral and criminal
offense."
Christian Science, as the Mrs. Eddy
treatment is called, is the best thing
in the world for people who have no
real trouble, but think they are
sick. When they come to accept the
theory that there is no such thing as
sickness, they have obtained release
from their nervousness and their sup
posed sickness. But it is a crime to-
deny a patient sick with typhoid fever
or like ailment the treatment which
the wisdom of the medical profession
has found to be essential to save the
lives of those who have such diseases.
1t is not necessary to doubt the ''sin-
certify and devoutness' of the apostles
of Christian Science to demand medical
attention. 1t is only to doubt their ca

The great work done already by Mr.

of the Seaboard Air Line railroad is be-

1t is stated that the passenger earnings

Pennsylvania are interested II it is ever

along the bank of the French Broad river
from this city to Horse Shoe on the
Pennsylvania (Hendersonville and Bre-
vard) railroad, then to continue the
Pennsylvania road from its present termi-
nus at Toxaway, which is ten miles be-
yond Brevard, to Anderson, S. c. This
would give Asheville south outlet indie

along it will be built

Carnegie's Predictions onAmer-

Inability to Stem the Tide is
Much Lamented.

New York, May III. Pierpont Nor
gan remains an ogre for the sensational
British press, says the Tribune's Lon
don correspondent, and Mr.. Carnegie
forecasts Of the development of Ameri-
can industrial resources are printed in
the largest type. The consolidation of
railways and shipping interests of the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards with the
possibility that one capitalist can fix
through rates and ocean transportation,
is now a stock theme with financial
writers in England, who display remark
able credulity in accepting elastic state
ments of the Interior purposes of Amer
lean multi-m illionaires. At the same
time they deplore English inability TO
form counter combinations. Brooks
Adams views on a trade war between
continent and continent are also quoted
in many journals. There has never
been a time when American resources
for organization and competition haVe
been equally dreaded in England, but
the bulk of the press writing at the
present is i'll considered and the import
ance of Mr. MOrgan'S operations is
grossly exaggerated.
1t is reported that Mr.. Morgan is hav-
ing two steamers built, exclusively for
hrSt-class passengers between New
York and England and on a. scale of
magnificence never hitherto attempted.
AFTER MORE STEAMER LINES.
London, May simultaneously with
tOday's meeting of the Leyland line
shareholders to vote upon the agreement
with .Pierpont Morgan comes a reiter-
alton of the statement that the MorganS
are about to acquire the Red Star line,
as well as the Atlantic Transport line.
The Leyland line shareholders unani-
mously confirmed the Morgan-E llenman
agreement.
The American line officials here, how
ever, deny the report that Mr.. Morgan
has acquired the Red Star line.
After Mr.. Mattinson. who presided at
the Leyland line meeting, had ex
planned the terms of the contract, Mr..
Ellernan chairman of the line, set
forth his views on the transatlantic
trade. He said the outlook was not
promising for British ship owners, in
view of the large American tonnage
building, the prospects of the return to
that trade of vessels now diverted to
South Africa and the probability of an
American subsidy. He did not believe
parliament would inf1ict cOuntervailing
duties on subsidized An erican vessels.

Mr. Ellerman severely criticised the
antiQuated British navigation laws,
which put British vessels at an increas-
ing disadvantage in competition with
foreigners.
Mr.. Mattinson said the Americans
were evidently in the transatlantic
trade to stay. Trade does not follow
the flag; it follows capital The condi-
tons favor their success. The fact that
this particular case has been possible
should be a grave warning to Great
Britain to revise the navigation regu-
lationS, which threaten her supremacy.

ENGLAND is WARNED
Against Provoking the Coal Miners to
q Strike.

New York, May THE action of the
British miners parliament today will be
of more Importance than the perfume
tory debate on the coal tax in Westmin-
ster last night says the Tribune'S Lon
don correspondent. Like that debate, it
win be a demonstration against the gov
eminent. but the result can not be deter
mined in advance. Tt is probable that
there win not be a general suspension
OF work in the collieries. and that the
delegates will content themselves with
a political demonstration, against the
coal tax. If the conference orders a
strike the country viii be confronted
with a grave industrial situation.
Sir Edward Gray made a strong
speech in the house of commons last
night against the tax. In his reference
to the threatened strike he was intensely
serious He warned the government not
to regard the miners threat as a mere
bluff A strike would be tantamOunt to
an ultimatum from one section of the
community to the rest, and he then de-
clared in a tone which left a deep inn
preston on the house that such an event
would be the nearest approach to civil
war Great Britain had known in many
generations. Sir Edward Gray IS still a
young man but he is one of the sOundest
thinkers in parliament. and generally is
regarded as the future leader of the
Liberal party.

TEACHERS REBEL.
Object to Colored Man Being Placed
Over Them.

New York, May THE Herald says:
Because Richard M Robinson, a coIored
teacher of music, has been assigned to
supervise the musical instruction given
in the schools under their control, eigh-
teen principals have protested more or
less strongly. They have the active
sympathy of 200 subordinate teachers,
and as a result Supt John Jasper has
decided to change his schedule and send
Mr. Robinson to other schools. Pro
tests, however, are expected no matter
what action is taken.
Until recently Mr.. Robinson taught
music in public school No 80, which is

Supt. Jasper picked out eighteen
schools and the principals met Mr..
Damrosch last week in the hall of the
board of education. They were in
formed that Mr.. Robinson would be as

schools.
Supt. Jasper told the teachers who
were angered if they had valid objec-
tions to put them in writing. Mr. Rob
inson that day made the rounds of the
schools in which he had been assigned,
but he was received with marked cold
ness.
The principals consulted their subord-
mates and Supt Jasper received other
protests. Supt Jasper has represented
to all that he will deal vigorously if
