veal their names or times or places Of
meeting-the only secrets in cur

Long before the G. a. R. encamp-

friends of the new movement that a
proper constitution shall be adopted.
and headquarters opened here for the
dissemination Of the principles of the
Soldiers National League among the
men gathered here from all over tie

rade and Qualification of the encamp-
ment, but Will add, to It's festivities
and songs, the one practical feature
for which the comradeship have 50
long and so vainly struggled.
It has gone out all over the country
It cannot be recalled at the beck CT
wish Of any man or any organization.
It will stand. and stand alone, because
it meets long-felt want among all
the soldiers Of the whole country. It
will not interfere with our relations TO
the G. A. R. or [. Y. T., for II is
as different from them as It Is from
the Masons or Odd Fellows. It IS
quite something else.

MANsLAUGHTER IN THE NAME OF RELIGION

No more shocking case Of the dead
y results of the practices Of what Is
euphemisticaIly designated as Chris
tian Science" has been brought 10
public notice than the death of an
infant at New Haven, Conn, which
was allowed 10 pass away without
medical aid while suffering from IN
attack of cholera infautmn. Its par
ents lad allied themselves with some
Of the advocates OF this so-called
"science," and when their baby was
taken Ill they called IL q healer"
who prayed at the bedside of the
stricken child for q whilo and then
applied absent treatment which
means that she prayed somewhere e s..
Nc physician was sought; not even
the ordinary domestic remedies were
applied. Of course, while the heal
e." prayed, the baby died, and the
coroner quite properly gave q esrtiti-
cate of death from neglect"
The moral aspect of this case, and
Of all cases like It. lies quite outside

Texas, way Of Doing Things.

Galveston News-It is the Georgia
Congressman who was Jared. That
Georgia Democratic platform set every
one OF them to guessing. The Texas Con-
gressmen will be more fortunate than
their Georgia brethren have been, as the
Texas Democrats viii have their State
convention after the return Of the Cen
gressmen. and the latter will have the
opportunity OF telling the convention
just what ought to be done.

CT Of one OF the other of the many

" a day passes but that in some Of
the larger cities Of the country some
poor wretch Is found dead, and the
verdict Is that he died without medi-
cal attendance. Wherever this i

no differentiation between such a case

It was developed that the former has been
assessed at ss4 900 on its personal and real

OF which the members OF the tax committee
Of the Real Estate exchange had not a clear
understanding. they say.
The forenoon session did not develop
much that the board considered helpful,
but In the afternoon John R. Webster. who
represented the Terminal company aud who
was extensively quiszed, also concerning the
Belt railway, gave what a member OF the
committee said he considered a very fair
statement.

He said. among other things. that the
actual value Of the company's property this
side the middle Of the Terminal bridge Is
335o.000; that It has out 81. e0o. 900 Of bonds
on which interest had defaulted eight years,
but on which the company Is now paying
interest by borrowing. as the earnings are
not sumcient to pay both this interest and
che running expenses. He was understood
