STRANGE DOINGS.
Moving of Inanimate Objects Attrib-
uted to Child's Power

Elkhart, Ind, Jan. 3.-According to
Mr. and Mrs. James Mccarthy, of 100
Pratt street Elkhart, several boarders
and ten or twelve neighbors some very
peculiar and mysterious things hap
pened there between 8 o'clock Tuesday
morning and o'clock in the afternoon
and for want of a better explanation
they ascribe the manifestations to some
unnatural power possessed by 13-year-
old Bessie Currier. The manifestations
occurred only in the presence of the
girl, and ceased when, at 4 o'clock, the
girl was sent away, going to her sister
in-law's home. Chairs turned over on
way to the. center of the room twice; a
joint of stovepipe came up the cellar

TREES IN BAD HEALTH.
An Experts Report on Those of
Boston Common.

Boston, Jan. 3.-An of the trees in
Boston common, old and young, are in
bad health. Samuel Parsons, superin-
tendent of parks in New York city, says
so. He was brought here as an expert
to examine the condition of the trees on
the famous common. He began work in
August last and has just made his re-
port. 1t was noted that the wealth of
elms, was dropping, and the whole city
was aroused. The authorities were COM
PEELED to do something, and Mr.. Par
sons was called. He asserts that the
soil has been neglected and that the
pruning has been poorly done. The re-
cent planting on the common was, in his
opinion, done under wrong principles.
The tree expert gives Boston hope,
nevertheless, declaring that there may
be feW-a very few-trees on Boston
common that are beyond the hope of
restoration. but many of them may be
kept in beauty for wears

HUNTS MESSAGE.
Governor of Porto Rico Addresses the
Irsular Legislature.

San Juan, P. r. Jan. 3.-Gov. Hunts
message to the legislature of Porto Rico
was read before joint session of that
body held in the theater of San Juan.
The building was crowded. The message
says:
Tranquility and contentment prevail in
Porto Rico; schools have multiplied; rail-
ways are being constructed; the COM
merce of the island has been developed
and exports have increased; agriculture
has become more profitable, roads are be-
ing built and debts are being paid. Toler-
former antagonism being forgotten.
Gov Hunts report said further that 8S5

As 900 pupils attended them. Thirty-two

Gated in the United States. The insular

900, 600 Gov Hunt recommended the re-
vision of the municipal laws and the
did not recommend an increase in the in
sular tax, but he advised an increase of
palities.
The governor recommended an increase
perfumes and road tax of a dollar a

San Juan harbor and the early considera-
ton of the new code being prepared by
las (the representative Of the American
Federation of Labor, who was sentenced

Of conspiracy. the governor referred to
said that the remedy therefore was in the
hands of the legislature.
There is no room for lawlessness in
Porto Rico" said Gov. Hunt, but it is
perfectly lawful to organize to secure bet
ter wages by peaceable measures. The
ambition to better ones condition is in
tensely American, and where the purpose
of organization is merely to increase the
profits of labor or to dignity its worth,
through peaceful means, a law suscepti-
BILE to a construction forbidding the exc

American government and should be
wiped out, no matter how unworthy the
particular individual may be who initiates

tinction between Individuals

mortal to the congress. inviting con-
greSSiOnal committee to come to Porto
Rico to consider the matter of realty til

TO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Syracuse University Chancellor
Charges Death Is Due.

Syracuse, Jan 3.-Chancellor James
r. Day, of Syracuse university aroused
a storm among the many Christian Sci
entists here by publishing a statement
today in which he charges the death of
Miss Unni Lund to Christian Science
Miss Unni Lund, professor of vocal
music at the university, died from amaze
mia on November 10. She was a Nor
wegian musician well known in Europe.
Chancellor Days article says in part:
Il met Miss Lund soon after college
opened and expressed anxiety because
of her appearance, urging attention 90
her health. She replied that she had
. no doctor and did not believe in medi-
cine. A month afterward learned that
she had been three weeks in Boston
taking Christian Science treatment but
had returned, was confined to her bed
and taking absent treatment
She refused to see a physician or to
yield to the advice of the dean, the ex-
chancellor and myself. We agreed that
should write her a letter pointing out
the position in which the university
would be placed If she persisted. She
then consented to see DR.. Heffrons but
1T was too late.
Il have given the case circumstantial-
1y because these deceivers, to whom are
the country, will claim all those who
recover from any cause, and deny that
those who die held their faith or re-
ceived their treatment.
"A few days before her death Chris
fian Scientist sat at her bedside and
declared Miss Lund was cured. At that
very moment she was dying. We charge
the death of Unni Lund upon Christian
Science
What more dreadful scourge has
come upon the Christian church than
Christian Science2 1t destroys both

WHERE ARE CHILDREN?
Kansas School Population Shows q
Decrease.

The persons who took the census of
school children in Kansas the past year
did not find as many of them as they
did the year before. According to the
reports of the county superintendent,
the figures from which have just been
compiled by the clerical force in Sup
erintendent Nelson's office, the school
population in 1901 was 500, 1888, as against
50S,S54 for the previous year.
There are 9,406 school houses in the
state, estimated to represent a valua-
ton of seven and one-haf million dol
lars.
The total amount paid teachers for
wages last year was SO, ,45170. This
was an average of $43 month for men
teachers and $36 a month for women
teachers.
The number of teachers employed in
the state the past year was IL $780, an in
crease of % over the previous year. The
number of pupils enrolled was $3.50, IT'S,
about the same number as the year be-
fore. The average length of school
term the state over is 26 weeks.

WON BY SILVER ELEMENT.
New Members of Indiana Democratic
Committee Elected.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3.-The district
conventions for the election of new
members of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee were held throughout
dictate that the free silver advocates
won by a majority on the committee,
seven and possibly eight districts nav
ing elected men who are recognized as
being opposed to making concessions
to the gold wing of the party by rele-
eating free silver to the rear. In a few
districts, however, the conservatives
won special victories by electing men
who were opposed to Bryan both in 1896
and in 1900, and who are believed not
to have supported him at the polls In
two other cases men who were opposed
to the party platforms but supported
Bryan rather than bolt the ticket were
chosen
In this district the conservatives car
ried the convention by reclamation by
electing Joseph T. Tanning district
chairman, and it is understood that ne
will be put forward for chairman of the
state central committee when the mem
bers meet here on Wednesday next for
organization.
s. B. Fleming, of Fort Wayne, and
u. S. Jackson, of Greenfield, are candi-
dates for the craftsmanship and repre-
sent the two extremes in the party,
Fleming being an incorporating gold
man and jackson a radical free silver
advocate.
flaming was not in sympathy with
the radical declarations of the Chicago
platform, but supported the ticket and
was twice nominated for state auditor,
and it is believed that he would make
a conservative chairman and be instru-
mental in uniting the party.
Former Mayor Taggart, of Indian
apoliS, now a member of the national
Democratic committee, retired from his
position on the Indiana state committee
this afternoon. Taggart is still a can
didate for national Democratic chair
