ENTERING WEDGE
Christian Science Admitted to a
Legal Footing in Switzerland.

Word has just been received from
Switzerland by the Christian Scientists
assembled here which has been the source
OF much qualification. The supreme court
OF canton Zurich has rendered a decision
which virtually places Christian Science
practice upon legal and authorized
footing there.
A short time ago two practicing Chris
tian Scientists in Zurich were fined under
a mistaken application OF the medical
laws OF existence there. They refused 10
pay the fine. and asked 10 have the case
tried in court The trial was held before
the district court. and upon sworn tes-
tlmony, taken OF cases OF healing. the
fine was reaffirmed with costs: medical
expert opinion having been given that
Christian Science healing was mere sug-
gestive therapeutics.
Upon appeal 10 the supreme court of
the state. before which the case was re-
tried recently, the decision OF the lower
court was only reversed but unanimous
decision given which places Christian
Science practice upon q firm legal footing
The Christian Scientists OF America
will very much appreciate the Justice OF
the Swiss courts.

finest offerings, from every standpoint
that the ente1prising management OF
Keith's has yet offered 10 Keithites. The
play was especially we'll mounted. all

Johnson In duplication of that OF the
original company being employed. All
OF the original incidental music, which is
unusually pretty. was also used. and
proved no small feature OF the play.
Not even Mr.. Williams most ardent
admirer could have anticipated a better
performance than this clever. and ex-
tremely versatile leading man gave last
evening as "the little minister" GAVIN

succeeded In giving just the right touch

fine art. and the intelligent and sympa-

Evesson's portrayal OF the beautiful, Inn
pulse. lovable Babbie was fiawless. IL Is "a
long time since such a graceful, ana al
together charming piece OF acting has
been seen IN this city.
This is the role fitting Miss Evesson's
trong individuality perfectly, and her
enactment OF the role was simply de-
licious In spite OF the fact that the per-
formance In It's entirety was splendidly
balanced one, there was one individual

others. This was the fine characteriza-

NEW PARK THEATRE.

Lady of Lyons" was produced by the
Louis Leon Hall Stock company at the
Park theatre last evening and was ac-
corded an enthusiastic reception by a
large audience.
The play is one well known to Provi-
dence theatregoers and gives most Of the
principals OF the company an oppor-
tunity TO display their talents 10 the best
advantage.
Mr.. Louis Leon Hall portrays the part
of Claude Melnotte. a poor peasant. In
love with a lady OF rank and fortune.
The character calls for an artist with
ability 10 handle its difficult phases. Mr.
Hall met the requirements most salts
factorily
The part OF Pauline, the cruelty de-
ceived woman, is excellently rendered by
Eugene That's Lawton, who shows great
versatility In attempting with such sue
cess an entirely opposite part TO those
she has previously presented.
Miss Lawton portrays the character OF
the deceived wife with great feeling and
force. She is impressive. without once
'oversteppng artistic bounds.
The work OF other members of the COM
pany displayed careful study and thor
ough training. The same play will be
given every afternoon and evening during
the present week.
The management announces the comedy
drama, "Fogg's Ferry" with little Iols

Manager Huntington selected for the

that he was Overwhelmingly defeated at

artist. William Humphrey. The great
strength OF character, the frey temper,
and the loyal faith of this ex-drunkard
was admirably shown by Mr.. Humphrey
and served to add a new lustre 20 the
name he has already won here. His dia-
lect was perfect
The Snecky Hobart OF the play was Mr.

TO all OF Mr.. Winters work. One. OF the
treats Of the performance was Miss An

thetic picture in her childish loyalty, and
her acting struck just the right cord Of

Andrews TO be living the part rather than

which has so often been commended in
his work and which always characteriZes

an effective bit OF work. and won hearty
approval Miss Reimer's Mamie Webster

success. Mr.. Cheney had a good oppvr-

execution which showed an Intelligent

One Of the brightest. cleverist features
Of the entire performance was the per-
