Concord. n. H. Jar. lin view Of
the circulation OF certain criticisms
from the pen Of Mark Twain, I submit
the following statement:
It is a fact, we'll understood, that I
begged the students who first gave me
the endearing appeilative mother" not
to name me thus. But without my con-

pered. provided for and cheered than
others before me-and wherefore? Be-
cause Christian Science is not yet pop
ular, and I refuse adulation.
Hy first visit to the Mother Church
after 1t was built and dedicated pleased
me, and the situation was satisfactory.
The dear members wanted to greet me
with escort and the ringing Of bells, but
declined and went alone in my car
riage to the church. entered 1t and
knelt in thanks upon the steps Of its
altar. There the foresplendor of the
beginnings of truth fell mysteriously
upon my spirit I believe in one Christ,
teach one Christ, know Of but one
Christ. l believe in but one incarna-
ton, one Mother Mary, and know I am
not that one, and never claimed to be.
1t sufices me to learn the Science of
the Scriptures relative to this subject.
Christian Scientists have no quarrel
with Protestants, Catholics or any 9TH
er sect. They need to be understood as
following the divine principle-God,
Love-and not imagined to be unscien-
tiftc worshippers Of a human being.
In the aforesaid article, Of which I
have seen only extracts. Mark Twain
Wit was not wasted in certain direc-
tons. Christian Science eschews divine
rights in human beings. If the indi-
vidual governed human consciousness,
my statement of Christian Science
would be disproved, but to understand
the spiritual idea is essential to demon
strate Science and its pure monotheism
one God, one Christ, no idolatry, no
human propaganda. Jesus taught and
proved that what feeds few feeds all.
His Nfe-work subordinated the materi-
al to the spiritual, and He left this leg
acy of truth to mankind. His meta
physics is not the sport of philosophy,
religion or Science; rather is it the pith
and finale Of them all.
I have not the inspiration or aspira-

Mother-her duplicate, antecedent or
subsequent. What I am remains to be
proved by the good do. We need

WILL NOT TOUCH
MILL CONTRACTS

Denver, March PA Republican
special from Cripple Creek last night
says:
J. Hannah, representing the American
Smelling and Refining Company to-
day served notice, in reply to requests
for treatment of ore. upon the mines
that have contracts with the United
States Reduction and Refining Com.
pany. that the smelling company will
refuse to handle their product. This
closes the last available market for the
ore that has been diverted by the
strike from the boycotted mills. as tho
order is positive that tic smelter COM
pany will not interfere with the ore
under contract to the mills. The Pert
land and Economic mills are gorged
with ore from their own mines. and
the capacity of the Dorcas at Florence,
the only remaining Independent plant.
Is as drop in the bucket compared
with the supply of ore.
This order was anticipated n week
ago by Manager French of the Rio
Grande sampler. which receives ore for
the American Smelling and Refining
company. He then notified the mines
that had diverted their ore from tho
United States company's mills that
they would better make other arrange
ments. as he expected to receive in
structions to refuse to handle their
product.
The action OF the smelling intoreats,
which is now supposed to have been
the emergency that received tho cor
sideration of the Mine Owners Asso-
ciation last Saturday night. has ealab-
lished the belief that the mines OF the
district are preparing to close unless
the embargo on the United States mills
Is raised by the Western Federation OF
Miners.

WILL STRAIGHTEN
THE RIO GRANDE

Salt Lake, Utah, March 22.-The
Tribune this morning prints the fol-
lowing:
Chairman Gould of the Rio Grande
system had in view one of the great
est cutoff projects yet planned In
shortening the lines of transcontinent-
al railroads. This is not only plan
to shorten the Denver & Rio Grande.
but the Rio Grande Western. and cre-
ating a through line from Denver to
the Pacific coast, as well as from Salt
Leke.
The line from Denver to Leadville
will be shortened so as to secure a
straight line between the two cities.
Between Leadville and Grand juno
tion many smaller cutoff lines will be
constructed to secure line, grade and
curve reductions.
In Utah the Green River-Salina cut
of will complete the straight line from
Denver and from Marysvale. Utah. the
extension to Los Angeles will complete
a short line from Denver to that city.
Another line will be built from some
point in Utah on the Rio Grande West
ern to connect with the Western Pa
.cific.
BY these cut-offs considerably over
300 miles would be eliminated between
Denver and Salina, as compared with
the present route via Pueblo and Sa-
lima, as compared with the present
route via Pueblo and Thistle. saving
which would mean days run prac-
tically. and therefore OF the utmost
Importance in relation to q through
line.

MILL STRIKE COMMISSION
HOLDS SESSION IN DENVER

Chairman Hayt was the first to ar
rive yesterday morning. After brief
period Father Carrigan. and ''Parson"
Uzzell also came. Judge Hayt called
for order about IL o'clock and the first
announcement was regarding the loss
of one member of the board. This was
explained by the chairman.
Since our last meeting DIR. Slocum
has visited the city," said Mr. Hayt.
He came up yesterday and told ME
last night that he would be busy three
or four weeks. He had previously said
he might serve. thinking the sessions
would continue only four days. 1t
seems that they will last longer, and
DIR. Slocum cannot give up his work
long enough to serve on the commits
sion with satisfaction to himself.
'The governor has been informed
that DIR. Slocumfcannot serve. 1t is
likely that a successor will be named
to-day. Mr.. Frewen is interested in a
bill that is up this morning. and can
not be here for some time He will
be here as soon as possible. however.
We will proceed IL there Is no objec-
tion."
Governor Peabody will not name a
member OF the commission to succeed
DR.. Slocum. II the representatives of
the two sides desire a fifth man and
SO inform the commission the four
present members will choose their as
sociate. This was the announcement
made by the governor yesterday after
noon.

on the same basis as was included in

SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE
IN STRATTON WILL CONTEST

made a general denial. He SAID: Il
was never approached by anyone in
connection with the matter set forth
in the affidavit, and as for the allega-
tions therein contained, charging me
with any completely in. the matter,
they are wholly and entirely false.
know Mr.. Leftwich and Mr.. Berry but
slightly, and neither of them has ever
talked with me about the Stratton case
in any manner, either before my trip
to Cuba or since. repeat again, all
the allegations in connection with the
matter are entirely false"
Other affidavits to be filed by r. Har-
ry Stratton's counsel denying the
charges made by the other side have
been prepared by T. M. Pullman, one
of the prospective jurors; r. p. Ady.
one of the attorneys for Mr.. Stratton,
and Judge A. T. Gunnell, leading coun-
sci for the contestant.
Senator Wolcott gave out the follow
ing statement tonight: There is new
er an important case. especially case
of such importance as this. where the
panel is not looked into to ascertain
those men notoriously unfit to- serve.
The Stratton property is in the hands
of the executors. Mr.. Stratton had
large interests. notably the street car
system, and he was not only known by
but he was associated in business with
many persons in Ell Paso county. 1t is
essential for us to ascertain that the
possible jurors are not Influenced or
prejudiced. Berry stood in the rela-
tion of an attorney to us and the rea-
son for the affidavit is that he was un-
faithful and broke the contract.
"The estate has bought him with
young StrattOn's money, and his work
is as corrupt piece of business as
ever heard Of 1t seems to me that
the procedure is an attempt to obtain
settlement or compromise before
trial."
