USE OWN JUDGMENT
Mrs. Eddy Issues Statement to
Christian Scientists on Con.
tagioUS Diseases.

In explanation of the recent edi-
torlal in the Christian Science Sentf-
mel advising that Scientists cease the
practice of treating contagious dis
eases, Mary Baker G.. Eddy has is
sued statement over her own sigma
lure 1t does not deviate materially
from the SentinePs first announcement
but explains at some length.
Local Scientists maintain that they
never have broken the law requiring
them to report all contagious diseases.
Mrs Eddy's article, in part, is as fol-
lows:
When, under the protection of state
or United States laws, good citizens

New York, Dec Hearing in the
federal suit against the Northern Sc
curitieS company as the alleged holder
of a controlling interest in both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads was resumed in this city TO-
day. seas
1t developed at the hearing that the
testimony of z. H, Hartman in the
case of Minnesota against the North
ern Securities company had been taken
in private last week, and ex-Judge
Day, special assistant attorney general
for the United States, SAID that Mr.
Hartman could not give any details
of the organization or object of the
Northern Securities company. Mr.
Hartman had no information of any
value to Minnesota, he added.
"A conference of counsel for both
sides in the federal case today was held
behind closed doors, and ex-Judge Day
said that no more hearings would be
held IN New York.
The hearing today was before the
official stenOgrapher, r. s. Taylor. who
acted, by consent of all the counsel
interested, in the place OF Special Elk
afliner Ingersoll, who telegra pied from
St Paul that he would not be able TO
get there.
There was nothing of Importance
scheduled, and the hearing consisted
in giving the counsel of both sides
chance to agree on certain documen-
tary evidence and upon a date when
the matter may be presented to the
trial judge in the United States cir
cult court of Minnesota. 1t was agreed
TO admit to the record of the federal
case the evidence given by Colonel
Ciough and Mr.. Hartman in the states

WILL TRY IT AGAIN
RehearsaIs For New Production
of "Corianton'' TO Begin at
Logan Shortly.

r. X. Thomas. who has just returned
from New York, where he went in the
interest of the revival of "Corianton,"
states that within a couple of weeks
rehearsalS of the play will begin anew
at Logan. The new production Will be
under the stage direction and manage
ment of Louis Imhaus, formerly of the
Pacific coast, and for the past four
years a Broadway manager Mr.. I'm
haus Will have full swing, engaging all
the people and arranging all the details
of the forthcoming tour.
So far only two or three players have
been engaged. One of these is Miss
Vigereaux, an emotional actress, for
the part Of Zoan. Manager Blair en-
deavored TO secure her in the first
place but the salary she demanded was
considered too high. 1t is possible that
Joseph Haworth wiz again play The
title role, but this is not settled. The
management will not pay him the
salary he formerly received, $780, which
is considered exorbitantly high. II is
possible. too, that Miss Nellie Boyer a
Utah girl, will play Relia. Besides
these, the Deseret Dramatic syndicate
does not know whom Mr.. Imhaus has in
view. He viii bring a few players on
with him from New York and will fill
up the company with local people.
According to the present plans,
"Corianton" VIII be reproduced in LO-
gan. then in ogden. then Provo and in
Salt Lake, if dates can be secured. A
tour of the Pacific northwest will then
begin and viii continue through Cali
f0rnia, the company returning here for
the April conference. closing the sea-
son. Next year, if the tour has been a
success, Mr.. Imhaus promises to put
the play into New York
Mr.. Thomas declares that the syndi-
cate and Mr.. Bean are working in per-
feet harmony, and the author is well
satisfied with the prospects.

UNITED STATES NOT
AN INTERESTED PARTY

Washington, Dec. 1.-The state de-
partment is perfectly satisfied with
Mr.. Bowen's neutral attitude respect
ing the blockade of the Orinoco river
by the Venezuelan government Ac-
cording to the departments informa-
ton, the minister has not committed
his government to a recognition of the
effectiveness of the blockade, nor has
he made an issue with the Venezuelan
government by refusing the blockade.
The state depa rtment has seen no oc-
casion yet to make that issue, for its
reports do not indicate that American
commerce has yet suffered from the
blockade. 1t is believed that what are
supposed to be American vessels ply
ing on the Orinoco are vessels sailing
under the Venezuelan flag. and are,
therefore, subject to the laws of the
country.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Much Satisfaction Is Felt in Admin
istration Circles.


Washington, Dec. Isaac NJ. Selig-
man of New York called at the state
department today to breach his project
for floating a Venezuelan loan, hav-
ing been referred to the department by
the president, whom he saw IN connec-
ton with the matter last Saturday.
Secretary Hay not having returned to
Washington, Mr.. Seligman stated his
proposition to DR.. Hill, who is acting
as secretary. Neither of the parties
to the conference cared to make any
statement as to what took place, but
it is known that the state department
has not changed his attitude as to the
undesirable of embarking upon a pol
icy that might involve il in the inan-
cial troubles of the South American re-
DubIics
1t is regarded at this time as espe-
cially desirable TO avoid endangering
the relations which this government
now enjoys with President Castro, who,
it has every reason TO believe, is about
to do full justice TO ali American inter
ests in Venezuela. For this reason
the news from Berlin that Germany
has adjusted her claims with Vene-
zuela and England is about to do the
same, has given great satisfaction here,
as it removes from the situation the
danger of involving the United States
IL controversy.

that the combina ton of brewers that
exists in this city is a trust, and as
such it is expressly forbidden by the

these brewers in the combine need
not pay his bill, and the brewer can
not collect the debt, even by going into
the courts.
