SHE CANNOT APPROVE,
Mrs. Eddy Stops Book Which Censures
Others for Attacking Her.

Concord. N. H., Aug. IAN emf
nent lawyer of Baltimore, Nd, John Hen
~ keene, has recently written and pub
lished a booklet entitled christian
Science and Its Enemies" in which he
condemns the pulpit's unjust attacks upon
Rev. Mary Baker G.. Eddy and Christian
Science.
a representative of the press called
upon Mrs. Eddy to inquire as to her en-
dorsement of this book. In reply she
said: Upon reading the grand preface
of Mr.. keene's book, l laid it aside from
lack of time just then, and sent my conf
pliments to the author with an order for
said hooks. After perusing his book thor
oughly 1 changed my opinion, not of the
authors talents, scholarship and high in
tent although | have never seen HIM,
but of the ACCESSIBILITY of publishing the
book, and Immediately requested the par
ties to discontinue publishing it in It's
present form of treating the subject.
did this solely because the authors vehc-
mence in denouncing the pulpit's furious
attacks upon me was not conSonant with
my Christian sentiment. 1t is written of
our great Master whose life and teach
ings furnish my model, that when he
was reviled he reviled not again.

tom to cable the casualties, but on the
withdrawal of that army the practice

French government to the United
States. President Roosevelt promised
to attend these ceremonies and further
stated that he would have our repre-
sentatives abroad instructed to use
their best endeavors to induce foreign
governments to have exhibits at the
Exposition.
MIR. Mercer discussed the political sit
uation in the Northwest and informed

fined to one party, but would be par

tive of political affiliations.

TROOPS CHECKED TROUBLE.
What Promised to Be Big Row Started
at Shenandoah.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 17.-There
was an outbreak, Friday night,
right under the nose of the troops
in camp and for time it
looked as though serious trouble
would occur. The disorder was
the result of a mob chasing an alleged
unfair workman. There were so or 60
men in the mob. AS they chased the
man up the railroad throwing stones
At him the night Waterman was
nromptlv thrown into the creek. The
crowd kept after the workman and he
ran TO the Reading Railroad station
where a company of infantry was on
provost duty. The company was i'm
mediately called in formation and held
the crowd back. The captain of the
company prevented any serious trouble.
Word was sent to camp for reinforce
ments and in nine minutes the entire
18th Regiment and a battalion of the
Sth were on the scene. The crowd
quickly scattered and three men who
are alleged to have been participants
in the assault on the Waterman and the
workman were arrested and held for
trial

A PECULIAR QUESTION.
What Are the Real Powers of Guam's
Only Court?

Washington, Aug. E.-An anomalous
situation obtains in the island of Guam
in reference to the administration of JUS
tice and Commander Schroeder, the gov
ernor of the island, has been driven to
appeal to the navy department here for
instructions as to the limit of his powers.
Congress has not legislated for the is
land and the will of the naval governor
has been practically supreme. When the
island was turned over to the navy de-
partment and Capt. Leary was appointed
governor, he decided to continue in oper-
alton the old Spanish laws except such
as were modified by his directions or that
of the navy department. Under the old
system of laws thus put in force, there
existed practically but single court on
the island, which corresponds to the low
est judicial tribunal in this country.
Under the Spanish law an appeal was
allowed from the decisions of this court
to the court of cessation in the Philip
pines with provisions for final appeal
ment at Madrid But with the advent OF
power Of appeal was cut off and the de-
tically stands as the decision of the court
of last resort.
Some time ago n native was convicted
in this court of murder and was sentenced
to be executed. The evidence seemed to
leave some question of his guilt and Gov.
Schroeder was appealed to. Being at A
loss as to what action he could take, he
advised the secretary of the navy of the
situation and asked for instructions. The
whole subject is being carefully consid-
cred by the navy department.

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One-How It Is
Done in Augusta.

The backaches, at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless; shooting pain shoots
across the region of the kidneys, and
again the loins are so lame to stoop is
agony. No use to rub or apply a plas-
ter to the back in this condition. You
cannot reach the cause Exchange the
bad back for new and stronger one.
Follow the example of this Augusta cit
izen.
Mrs. H. S. Moody of AZ Gage street,
says:- Some II years ago Mr..
Moody began to suffer from his kidneys
and the complaint finally grew very
serious. He doctored and took many
remedies, but none which he tried prov
ed of as great benefit to him as Deans

THE SHAH OF PERSIA
Arrives at Dover, Eng- on Way to
Visit King Edward.

London. Aug. 1T.-Muzaffar-E d-Din,
Shah of Persia. arrived at Dover at
noon, today, on board the steamer EN-
press from Calais. At the Shah's re-
quest, the Empress made the trip over
at slow speed. The steamer was es-
corted by the British cruisers Galatea
and Immortalite ard was greeted by
salutes from the batteries at Dover and
and imposing military display. The
Shah is said TO have exhibited great
nervousness upon embarking on the
Empress for his first sea trip. But he
bore the journey well and when Prince
Arthur Of Connaught boarded the EN-
press and greeted him, the Shah smiled
and conversed with animation through
an Interpreter.
The Shah and Prince Arthur walked
together through the cheering crowds
at Dover to the Lord Warden Hotel,
where the Shah will spend the night,
coming to London, tomorrow.

GOVERNOR TAFT
Continued from page ~

up further capital in this form of Sc
curities. A new bank is, therefore in
process of forma ton, to engage exclu-
sively in small mortgage and agricul-
tural loans. The government is to
guarantee dividends of per cent on
the capital and is to employ the public
tax gatherers, if necessary, to collect
the interest on loans. Mr.. Conant said
today:
Il have sent some informa ton on this
subject to the Philippine commission in
the belief that they might find it useful
If they wish to prepare a similar pre-
ject for the Philippines. If such plan
succeeds in developing the agricultural
resources of Turkey and Egypt, and
there is sufficient sense Of financial re-
sponsi5ility among these people to pre-
vent serious losses, it is possible that
similar benefits could be obtained in the
Philippines. l know that some means
of aiding the farmers is subject very
close TO the hearts of Gov. Taft and
Judge lde. There is already Spanish
law in the Philippines permitting the
creat ton of initiative OF the government
to put plan of relief for the small
farmers in practical operation.
Coy. Taft and his associates have so
many problems before them that it will
probably be some time before they will
be able to take this up, but it will be
greatly for the benefit of the F'ilipinos
when they are able to borrow enough
to equip themselves with the best seed
and modern TOOLS

HELD UP WITH A CIGAR,
Insane Man Takes Charge of an EIec
trio Car at Boston.

Boston, Aug. 17.-Having been seized
by a fit of insanity, Samuel Phillips, n
Cambridge street cigarmaker, held up
an electric car here, Friday, and forced
the motorman to leave his position at
the point OF a weapon which was at
first mistaken for a pistol, but which
subsequently proved to be nothing
more than big cigar. The man made
a sharp resistance when a policeman
tried to arrest him, but he was subdued
and locked up. When the man pointed
the weapon at the motorman's head n
number of lady passengers jumped
screaming from the car.
Phillips then began to take off his
clothes. He was down to his trousers
when policeman reached the scene.
1t was only with the assistance of four
brother officers that the policeman who
first came up finally overcame the of
fender. Screaming and shouting he
was taken to a station where doctor
declared he was insane from alcohol
ism.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.
Money Market Tighter-GeneraI Bust.
ness Is Good.

New York, Aug. 17.-R. G. Dun z,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, Satur-
| day, says:
Money market conditions are of espe-
cial Importance just now. Heavy crops
will call for much currency and there
is evidence of anxiety regarding the
ability of banks to meet the demand
without producing severe stringency.
| Earnings of the railways during the
first week Of August exceeded last
years returns by 2.s per cent. and
those of 1900 by 17.8 per cent. Specu-
lation has been no heavier than it was
year ago. so that the expansion in
| bank exchanges represents legitimate
trade
Statistics of pig iron production, Aug.
1. according to the Iron Age, are more
satisfactory than might have been ex-
pected in view of the great scarcity of
fuel.
Shoe manufacturers at the East have
| received practically all the fall orders
that will be placed, and new business
| is now restricted to sample orders in
| spring lines. On the whole it has been
a good season for New England pro-
ducers in respect to the amount of
business placed, but the question of
prices is becoming serious owing to the
tendency of materials. Buyers are still
| numerous in the Boston market and
reports from the West are favorable
A heavy spring trade is anticipated.
Leather has again risen in price and
sales were heavy during the past week,
not only in sole but also in upper stock
and betting butts. Recent violent ad-
vances in hides have been fully main
tanned and large transactions occurred,
while heavy Texas steers reached a
new record price. Foreign hides nomi-
nally advanced without actual trading.
Despite the very favorable reports
from dry goods jobbers regarding the
volume of business transacted and the
bright outlook for fall trade, conditions
in the primary market and at the mills
| are now devoid of incident.
Considering the official report of
cereal crop conditions, the firmness of
quotations during the past week has
| been somewhat surprising. With even
less than average favorable weather
during the remainder Of the season,
there is prospects of much the heaviest
yield on record for the aggregate grain
production.
Liabilities of commercial failures thus
far reported for August aggregated ST.
6S3,77S, against $4S2S,27S a year ago.
Manufacturing losses were 1882, $50,
and trading $1,206,32
Failures for the week numbered 1876
in the United States, against 16S, last
year, and II in Canada, compared
with 10.
