Mrs. Eddy's Message to the Christian
Scientists.

Scientists.
A religious gathering rarely seen any
where. in point OF numbers and sustained
interest throughout, reports the Boston
Herald, was the annual mmunio service
Sunday In Mechanics hall Of the members
Of the First Church Of Christ, Scientist, the
mother church Of Christian Science. Under
this somewhat modern title is included.
however, all the Christian Scientists Of the
world who are openly and professedly such.
In the message during the service Of Mrs.
Eddy, the pastor emeritus, II was announced
that these now numbered 24,415, of whom
lisa were admitted Sunday.
Not all OF these were at the communion
necessarily, but a great many were. The
large hall had been packed with all the
chairs and benches available, on which 5000
people could sit. Every one of these chairs
was taken long before the service began.
So far the count Is fairly exact. 1t was esti-
mated that all Of a thousand more stood
throughout the service. both In the morning
md afternoon. The storm had not delayed
many who had Intended TO come. evidently,
and 1t was therefore probable that all OF
one-third OF the members OF the church
were present, allowing even for a generous
attendance of the general public who we're
not OF the faith.
The service was congregational" in the
sense that all had q voice in the choTuses.

sisted by Mrs. Eldora o. Gragg. The sing

Prof. Albert r. Conant provided the plano
accompaniment. Prof. Richard Wood Cone
read the message from Mrs. Eddy, the cen
trail feature OF the meeting.
The service at 3 p. m. was an exact repe-

being obviously designed to AFFORD all Chris

AGUINALDo MEETS CHAFFEE
Filipino Has Interview with Amer.
lean eneraI for the First
Time.

MANILA, July 6.-As a result Of the proc
lamation Of amnesty OF July 4, the guard OF
American soldiers has been withdrawn from
the house where Aguinaldo lived In Manila
and Lieutenant Johnson, Aguinaldo's custo-
dian, brought the Filipino today to see Gen.
eral Chanee. 1t was the first meeting be-
tween the American general and the leader
Of the Filipino revolution. Lieutenant Will
liam e. Mckinley OF the Ninth acted as In
terpreter.
Aguinaldo vas told that he was free to &c
anywhere he pleased and General Chaffee
asked him II he had any complaint to make
Of American discourtesy or harshness.
Aguinaldo replied that he had no such
complaint to make. He told General Chat
fee that he was going to visit friends at his
home In Cavite Viejo, in Cavite province,
and inquired what protection the American
authorities would afford him. He seemed to
be afraid to venture out. General Chaffee
replied that Aguinaldo would get the same
protection as any other citizen.
The former Filipino leader then asked
General Chaffee to prevent the courts
from requiring him to testify In civil suits.
General Chafiee said he had no authority
to grant this request, and advised Aguin-
aldo to a a special call upon Acting
Civil Governor Wright. This, Aguinaldo said
he would do, but that he would go at night,
as he was timid about appearing on the
streets in daylight.
The release of the former Filipino leader
has renewed speculation as to possible
vengeance upon him by friends OF Luna and
his other enemies.
Luna was a Filipino leader. whom Aguin-
aldo caused to be killed in 1899.

MITCHELL LEAVES QUIETLY
Miners President slips Away to New
York ON secret Mis-
sion.


w1LKEsBARRE. Pa, July 6.-PresIdent
Mitchell OF the miners union left here at
noon today for New York. He slipped
out Of town 80 Unexpectedly and so quietly
that only two or three persons around
strike headquarters knew Of his departure.
As he did not announce he was going to
New York. there Is an element of mystery
about his journey, but the Associated
Press learns on good authority that he
went to the metropolis for the purpose
OF meeting leaders Of other labor organiza-
lions.
The purpose OF the meeting is not def
nitely known here, but II Is understood to
have a direct bearing on the question of
labor organizations afaliatsd with the
American Federation Of Labor assisting
the miners union financially. 1t is known
that some Of these organizations, through
their national officers. have expressed their
willingness to help the mine workers in
hhiB way.
Mr.. Mitchell. while in New York, may
meet the officials OF railroad unions or
other organizations that can assist hiA
people by other than financial means. The
miners president, II Is expected, will re-
ment for Tuesday to address the delegates
OF district No. 1. which will open its an
u convention at Nanticoke tomorrow
morning.
Tomorrow will begin the third month
of the great strike. There have been
many rumors and opinions published tina
certain coal companies would in a few
days attempt to start up one or more
collier.es. The ~ofheials OF the big com.
panies who are willing TO talk deny all
knowledge Of any attempt OF their re-
speetive companies to start work. They
say, however, that the number OF mel
applying for work is growing larger each
week. Many OF them are given employ
ment and the names Of the others arr
placed on the waiting list.
The number OF miners among the ap-
pliesnts who are applying for work is VERY
small. and SO long as the miners them
selves refrain from going to the c~ollierieI
no coal can be mined.
OF the lat 900 men and boys employed
about the mines, approximately $1,000 ar
miners. Under the laws of the state NJ
company can employ q man to cut Goa
unless he has a miners certificate, showing
that he has had two years experience h
the anthracite mines. These eertihcate
are awarded by examining boards composei
Of miners appointed by the county courts
Therefore, II 10e. 900 men and boys wer
willing to return. they could not lawful,

BLIND MAN RUNS A MILL.
His System of weighing Grain with
Little Sticks.

Hugh Lee, sealer OF weights and measures,
a few days ago, in his tour Of inspection,
tumbled onto one~of the most remarkable
business men in Connecticut, d. F. DECKER
man, who owns a grist mill on the West
field road, near Meriden, which he conducts
In a very successful manner. He Is blind
in both eyes, but has been at the mill so
long that he knows every plank in the
building, and, without assistance, is able to
grind the grist Of the farmers, as we'll as
sell grain and feed to others.
One Of the most interesting portions of
his work is the Weighing of the grain and
feed which he sells. He has devised a
system whereby he can weigh out any
quantity with accuracy. He has a number
OF little sticks, which are cut just the
length to mark of on the arm Of the scale
the different weights. BY selecting his
ifty-pound stick-which he can pick out by
feeling OF it's length-he places it against
the end Of the arm of the scale, and then
moves the pendant up until 1t reaches the
other end Of the stick.
He has sticks for weighing from FIVE to
fifty pounds, and II he wanted to weigh
eighty pounds he would take his twenty
pound stick and place it at the opposite
end Of the arm, which is graduated for 100
pounds. After getting the scale to weigh
what he wants, he puts the goods on the
platform, and, by putting his hand lightly
over the arm, is able to tell when the scales
balance, and thus he weighs accurately any
amount he desires.
All the different grains are kept in sep
arate bins. and he knows where to md
every article in his place. He handily
waits on the farmers who drive up to the
big front door to buy feed for their stock
In operating the machinery Of the mill he Il
just as methodical as clockwork. and any
one watching him would not dream that he
could not see. Only those who are per-
sonally acquainted with this blind miller
know that such a man exists.

UNIQUE DECISION.
Judge Turns n stream of Humor on
the Law of Contracts.

the Law of Contracts.
II is not often that judges Of supreme
courts permit their sense Of humor to take
form in opinions from the bench on weighty
questions, but in the case OF Judge Marina
luke II. Dent OF the West Virginia supreme
court it is different.
The Judge has handed down an opinion
in the case OF ELI Moore, from Randolph
county. Moore made an assignment for the
benefit Of creditors, but, hoping to reserve
something for himself, he got his father
in-law, Rev. Anthony Mustoe, to invest
The secret reservation in lands for his
daughter, Clara, wife Of the assignee. The
reverend parsonage bought the ground at a
ridiculously low figure and kept IL. His
daughter sued him in the circuit court for
the property, but lost. She appealed to the
supreme court and won. Judge Dent opens
thus:
This is a suit from the peaceful shades
Of Randolph county. instituted by Clara,
intermarried with Eli Moore OF Montrose,
against her pa, Rev. Anthony Mustoe of
Brietz, near the happy land of Canaan. the
neighborlng county Of Tucker"
Referring to the contract between Clara
and pa the court says: Her pa agreed
to purchase for her at such sale three tracts
of land, and did purchase them. On the
\ purchase price, the $500 note was to be
credited and the residue pa was to take In
timber, tanbark and rent. Bue he became
d~ilatory, for some reason, and she decided
that pa must toe the mark. . ELI,
like a faithful belpmate, seconded the mo-
tion to the extent Of his skill and ability.
He says he knew creditors always wanted
something to kick at, so he put In the $500
note to furnish them the necessary ex-
erclse."
Touching the part Pa" Mustoe played,
the court says: THE evidence tends to
show that, while Pa Mustoe does a little
preaching, trying to gather the lost sheep
into the fold, and has one eye on the peerly
gates, where the wicked cease from trou-
bling and the weary are at rest, he keep
the other to windward to make friends with
the mammon Of unrighteousness. While
trying to serve two masters he gives his
present allegiance to the one he can see,
taste. hear, fell and smell, and puts the
other of with a little preaching and the
promise Of a more convenient season. Pa
Mustoe Acknowledges that his son had him
arrested like poor old Bunyan and thrown
into Jail for burning down the Mustoe barn.
He makes a big effort to outswear the other
witnesses. His efforts in this direction will
hardly win him a crowd when he presents
I his credentials at the gates of the new
Jerusalem"
In conclusion the court says: "If pa is
to continue preaching-and 1t is to be hoped,
for, from the conduct Of this suit and the
testimony of the witnesses, Eli is not the
only one in need thereof-he should cultl-
vate a greater regard for the truth and try
to overcome his lust for the feshpots Of
Egypt"

OUR OwN
Many Extinct Cones in the Rocker
and n Dangerous One in Hawaii.


It will be comforting 10 a great many
people. says the New York Sun, to learn
that the United States is comparatively
free from volcanoes, extinct or otherwise.
With the Philippines we have acquired
fifteen or twenty, but they are a long way
of. Then there are volcanoes in Hawaii
and Alaska.
Our own volcanoes, according to an expert
opinion in a recent scientific paper, are
to be found almost entirely west OF the
Rocky mountains. In New Mexico there are
several old volcanic cones and miles OF
country is covered with lava which once. at
a period earlier than is reached by legend
or history, ran in a molten flood all over
the valley, devastating great tracts.
One OF the most beautiful OF our volcanic
mountains is Mount Shasta, which rears
magnificent twin cones in California. Then
there are the beautiful Mount Helena IN
Oregon, Mount Hood. Mount Jefferson
Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker
and Mount Lassen, all of volcanic origin.
The most dangerous volcanoes we possess
apparently, are In Hawaii. Mauna Loa
