Swing 70 the state.

The reports Of the state institutions for
the semi-HnnuaI period commencing. De
cember l, 1901, and ending May 81. 1907.
continue to show a large saving to the
taxpayers az compared with the cost Of
maintaining these institutions under the
last fusion administration q
The reports for the first year Of the
present administration show that q saving
Of over $50 900 was made and the reports
for the last semi-Rnnual period that are
now coming in show even q larger saving
and promise to run the net saving for the
two years above 5000, 600. Several Of the
institutions have made their reports thus
far for the six months ending May 81, ana
in nearly every instance these Reports show
d large reduction in the cost OF mRinte
nance.

saving OF S2l.42 on each OF the 615 inmates
in six months means q total saving during
the last six months Al this one institution

There were great ladies and great gen. tlemen in the past Some two hundred years ago the London theaters opened at six o'clock, and 1t was, therefore, difficult for playgoers to arrive punctually, and obtain seats, many of them sent footmen, or hired men from the streets, to secure

contains the ghastly sentence: "Infants that died on the march were thrown into the bushes by the roadside" The per- sons who were guilty of these acts were terribly sincere. They believed that in allowing their children to die before their very eyes they were following the will of God as revealed to them by one of their own prophets. Yet, none the less their acts were not distinguished from the acts of murderers. They killed their children as deliberately and as wanton- ly as though they had done 1t with the pistol or the knife.
 The case of the child who was al- lowed to die the other day because the Christian Scientists refused to give 1t medical assistance. would seem to be in principle essentially the same as this. Their supporters point to the fact that of the three children who were i'll with diphtheria, only one actually died ant they try to see in this a vindication of their faith. But the Doukhobors could say that out of all their infants who were exposed to freezing and starvation, quite a number have survived. One fact is about as pertinent as the other. Both Doulxhobors and Christian Scientists de- spised and utterly rejected the simplest and most obvious aid: and they both fan under the condemnation of humanity, of right reason and of Christianity itself
 If there is any difference between these two instances, it is In favor of the Douk- hobors and against the Christian Scien-

The sentence of the high balin of Douglas upon a young girl named Rebeeca Der ridge has excited a good deal of indig- nation in the Isle of Man. The case was briefly mentioned in my legal pillory last week. The girl was charged from steal ing money from a house where she had
 worked as a servant in return for her board and lodging. It was clear that she had succumbed to the temptation that she found in her way, but she was young and a first offender and evidently peni- tent. The girl had no relatives or friends in the island no lawyer appeared in her defense, and she was too much overcome to be able to say a word on her own be- half, It was eminently a case Tn which the accused should have been cautioned and bound over to come up for judg- ment if called upon, but although the Manx legislature has passed an Act pro- yidine for this merciful treatment of first offenders, the high baliff of Douglas treats 1t as a dead letter, and he sen- fenced the girl to three weeks hard labor. Last week an appeal was made to the acting governor for the remission of the sentence, though with what result have not heard. The high baliff is an octo- genarian official whose eccentric and Draconic administration of the law has long evoked adverse criticism and the time has arrieved when he should be call ed upon to retire.

A PARALLEL CASE.
The Mothereddyites and the Russian
 Fanatics at Winnipeg.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 We commend to the consideration of Christian Scientists the dispatch which was published In the newspapers yes terday morning from Winnipeg. It told how 20O0 Doukhobors, sometimes spoken of as Russian Quakers," had camped in the outskirts of Korkton, In the Northwestern Territory. These intensely. religious devotees, deieving implicitly in the peculiar tenets of their faith, re- mained in the ope nair all night with the thermometer at IA degrees below the freezing point. Many of the Doukhobors were women and children and there were infants in arms among them. In the freezing cold. the women stood with the very scantiest covering; and when the little children showed signs of perishing from hunger and from the biting frost, their mothers were quite indifferent; nor would they even allow others to saxe these infant lives.
 When food was offered to the famished children the mothers threw 1t away. The milk that was given to the babies was spilled upon the ground The dispatch

The former. though they suffered thelre own children to perish, did not endanger the safety of thousands of oth- CTS The Christian Scientists, on the other hand, in their blind ignorance and folly, invited pestilence, not only into their own households, but into every household of an entire community. It is to be hoped that the sentiment and the sense of the community in question will deal so sternly with this gross offense as to make it's repetition in the future a source of danger to the fanatics who might be tempted by their past immunity again to hazard human life and to en- danger the public safety.

Regatta On The Severr.

Manager Me'zgar, of the University OF
Pennsylvania crew, received letter from
Cadet Emory F. Land, manager of the
Naval Cadet eight. in which il was stated
that the suggestion for an early regatta
on the Severn made by Pennsylvania was
heartily received by the Academy rowing
authorities, and that in all probability
such an event would be held either on
May 10Th or 18th. Already three crews
have signihed their intention of entering
this regatta. They are Pennsylvania.
Naval Academy and Georgetown. These
three would make an interesting race,
but every effort will be made to bring
Harvard and Yale. both of whom have
dates with the Naval Cadets. into this
regatta. Manager Land said that invita-
tions had been sent to both of these
crews, and he thought Harvard would
enter. A race of this kind wauld be
second in importance only to the Inter.
collegiate Regatta at Poug ghkeepsie, and
the Quaker authorizes are highly pleased
at the prospect of meeting so many of
the strong crews.

The young ladies of the younger smart
set gave their gentlemen friends de-
ligtttul hop last night at ST. Johns Col
lege gymnasium. Having been given
by the fair ones, who bore all expenses,
the occasion partook of the nature OF a
'leap-year" dance, although it is not a
leaP-year, they asked the young men TO
dance, and reversed the usual order of
things. There were twenty numb rs on
the program and music was furnished by
a Quintet OF the Naval Academy orches
ira. directed by MIR. Schreyer. During
the intervals Of dancing a light lurch OF
sandwiches, fancy cake and delicious
lemonade was served The hop was
one of the most delightful given this sea-
son, ard its perfect success is due to the
