EFFICACY OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Lecturer Claims 2,ooo.oo Cases Of Dis.
ease Have Been Healed.

Washington, May 26.-Carol Norton,
in a lecture delivered before a large
audience in the Columbia Theatre yes
terday, asserted that 10000 cases of
disease have been healed by Christian
Science during the 35 years of its his
tory and that in that time about 200
Christian Science churches have been
established and are now flourishing.
He said that Christian Science was
not faith cure, mind cure, nor mesmer-
ism, but that it heals the sick only
through a scientific understanding Of
mans relation to God. In his conten-
tion for right thinking and proper
models of thought, he declared that
it should be made criminal to publish
the details of crime or of contagious
diseases, because of the effect of such
publication on health and the morals.

NEW YORK. November =2S.-Messrs. r.
G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of trade
tomorrow will say:
Weather conditions have provided the
only important developments of the past
week in the business world. Excessive
rains in some sections. notably the South
west facilitated the distribution Of heavy
footwear, overshoes, and kindred lines,
while seasonably low temperature at
other points increased The movement
of winter wearing apparel. These in
t1uences. together with large Thanks
giving trade in food products. stimulated
retail dealings very materially. Jobbing
and wholesale trade is fully maintained,
and manufacturing plants have orders far
ahead. but in many cases the coke short
age retards operations. Railway officials
are making every effort to relieve the
freight congestion, especially in the vicin-
ity' of Pittsburg, but thus far there is
little evidence of Improvement. Gross
earnings are fully maintained. for No
vember thus far exceeding last years by
G.3 per cent, and those of 1900 by 1874
per cent. while 1t is anticipated that
higher freight rates will offset the adj
vance in wages sustaining earnings
INQUIRIES FOR PIG MORE URGENT.
Inquiries for pig iron become more
urgent as the scarcity grows more acute
Furnaces are added to the idle list when
there is full occupation for every plant in
the country, but the fuel shortage is not
perceptbly improved. Coke commands
high premiums, according to the needs
OF consumers, and iron is similarly held
at abnormal position by the INSULT
cient supply. Even foreign pig iron has
not arrived at specified dates. while new
orders have been placed abroad, covering
distant deliveries. 1t is fully apparent
that domestic needs will continue to ex-
coed available supplies for many months
to come. There is still no inclination to
place large orders for distant delivery
Of cotton goods, but a steady current
demand fully absorbs the limited stocks.
and buyers are often compelled to hunt
for desired lines of staple cloths. Printed
and woven pattern goods for spring are
selling freely on forward business.

An amusing story is told of the editor
of a go-ahead London evening newspaper,
who in the eternal rushing to press 10

stantly impressing upon his reporters the
necessity for condensing all news.
A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place on board big ship lying at Ports

The high protectionis;s and trust de-
tenders in this country are very fond of
finging into the face of the tariff revision
lists the assertion that trusts exist in
free trade England" The Philadelphia
Record admits that this is the case. bu.
says that the English trusts are either
comparatively harmless or else fail for
want of government favoritism, and
therein, 1t points out, is the substantial
differences between the trusts in the two
countries The soundness of our contem-
porarys contention is illustrated by the
failure Of the English wool combers' trust
for which a receiver has been appointed.
This combination was subject to compe-
tition from the whole world. Woolen
manufacturers in the United States are
almost completely sheltered from outside
rivalry by average duties Of nearly 100
per cent. on wooden fabrics.
The smaller wool interests at home as
well as those of the outside world had a
fair chance to fight the English trust.

The Shenandoah Herald thinks that
there is much truth in Grover Cleveland's
recent interview in which he expresses

The last congressional campaign pretty

The Staunton News thinks that Rich

a good institution and wants one for that

that it would prove great attraction for

The gist of President Roosevelt's letter

Says the Roanoke Times: To say the

That is very defensible conclusion.
It is proposed in West Virginia to levy
