EDITOR News HERALD:
There appears in the Arizona
Republican Of March 27 an article
headed "a Victim of Spiritualisrn"
that is remarkable only for it false
hood. It states that Bertha L.
Wood Of Wickenburg had gone
crazy on the subject OF spiritualism.
Mr.. Wood has several times, in
company with other ladies, visited
us at my house and every tt me the
subject Of spiritualism was broached
Mrs. Wood said she did not believe
in it but she had at times got much
fun out of it and that all spiritual
lists would at death, go to fiddler's
green, besides that, she could get
everything in the bible that sho
wanted. Mrs. Wood has been q
regular attendantat the Farnsworth
Sunday School. Further it states
that the promoters of that cult at
that place are said to have lost
nothing financially in their doctrine
in that part OF the world and that
no one knows how much money
they have obtained from the de-
votees. BY promoters, the author
of this remarkable article probably
meant Mr.. and NJ. 2 Arnold
Of Los Angeles, Cal, who were here
few months ago to look after
their mining interests and visited
their friends and stopped at my
house and were the guests Of Mr..
and Mrs. Holland and held spiritual
ist meetings only at our urgent re-
quest for our benefit only. The
house was always crowded and
several had to be sent away for
want of room and no charges were
made. Further it states that
Wickenburg is about the last place
in the world that one would select
as a field for the growth of that
particular doctrine and the few
men that died there were not OF the
kind that were likely to come back
to earth. Now / think it ia hald
to conjecture what difference it
makes where a person dies to be
able to come back to earth again if
such thing is possible. Such
production as the above mentioned
article can, according to my opini-
on, only originate in the native
brain of a monumental liar.

Our suggestions in the matter Of
creating fund for the aged and in
firm prospector do not seem to
meet with the reception anticipated
from those who have made millions
out OF the mining industry.
Those rich men do not seem to feel
any responsibility for the unfortun-
ate condition of many of the brave
fellows who blazed the trails and
made it possible for the man with
little ready money to step III and
make their millions. This feeling
of Indifference may be all right. to
certain extent, yet neverth eless,
something should be done to make
the last days of the prospector and
miner easier and happier, and to
whom can this aid come than from
those who have made their millions
in mining?-Ex.

Wanted! as Miners.

Apply at the NEWs-HERALD Office
today or Monday. Only strong,
intelligent men wanted. The work
is light and will do you good. We
haven't job of mining to offer
you, but we do want you to come
in and subscribe for the News
HERALD, So a year, in advance.
Help us to advertise the resources
of this district and later on we can
get work for all of you. Don't be a
dead one. Wake up and take your
home paper. 1t will help us and
it will help you. Certainly.
Owners of mining stock, and es
pecially that purchased from the
treasury fund, can in a great mea-
sure assist the company by holding
such stock and not offer it for sale.
Every shareholder should in every
way possible aid the company in
securing purchasers for the trea-
sury fund with which development
work is carried on. By SO doing
they really increase the value of
their own holdings, for unless the
company can secure the necessary
funds to carry on the work, it
must fail. There are almost as
many failures due to the fact that
sufficient funds could not be raised
to do the requisite amount Of de-
velopment as there are due to poor
property.

There once was man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in bucket:
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man. -
While as for the bucket Nantucket
But he followed the pair to Pawtucket-
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man
He was welcome to Nan;
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.
Then the couple to Wickenburg came
And together they purchased claim;
With windlass and bucket %

And now they have money and fame.

MASSACHUSETTS, IN DOCK.
Three Holes Found IN Her at Brook
lam NaUy Yard.

The battleship Massachusetts, placed in dry
dock the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday, pre-
paratory to examination of her hull to determine
the extent of the injury sustained by her when
she ran on Egg Rock, Bar HaTbor, about a
week ago.
From an inspection of her hull by diver, made
Monday, it was said that the battleship had apt
parently struck the rock several times, and that
the damaged spaces extended practically from the
forward compartment to the stern. OF the plates
which have suffered some are the longest ones. and
they will probably be taken out and rerolled. 1t
also reported that several of the ships frames
were twisted and that it might be necessary to re-
move them.
The operation Of decking yesterday was a deli
cate one requiring the greatest care in the placing
of the keel blocks on account of the damaged con-
dition of the ships bottom. The largest dock in
the yard No s. was used. The Massachusetts lay

TREATMENT OF HAY FEVER.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS the author Of the latest work on Hay
FeVer published but a few weeks ago. I would
IKE 10 ofer a few corrections regarding the article
on this disease in your Sunday Supplement of
August 3, from the tenor of which one would be
led TO infer that the discovery of vegetable pollen
as an irritant cause of this trouble is of recent
date. On the contrary, the credit for this must be
attributed to BackIey. In 1865 who. between this
PERIOD and 1873, by means of various experiments.
demonstrated this fact. Also, in 1877, Marsh
nounced 10 the medical profession that the most
actVe lrritant cause of this disease consisted of
the pollen of the ragweed or Ambrosia artenisias-
iona. AS to the treatment of hay fever by means
OF preparations of this plant as we'll also of gold
enrol TO which you allude as Of recent date, the
writer would say they were used by him in the
treatment of this disease over twenty years ago.
and even at that time they were not considered
new remedies, by any means. IF they have been
allowed 70 fall into dsuse by some. it does not
follow that this has been a general rule with all,
as their use in hay fever has been of too much
value to allow such thing to happen. True, there
has been in the last few years a more extended
Ie 20 T eiipioSthent OF these agents when
covery."
The present new "antitoxin' treatment for hay
fever is also but a modification Of the immunizng
method used by the writer as early as over twertY
in some simple cases Of pollen catarrh. but in the
more severe forms Invariably requiring other meas
ures OF treatment to effect cure. Inasmuch as
this disease consists of far more than a simple
not appreciated By the large majority WV Who employ
these measures-hence in many cases neglect of
"anttoxin is claimed to be by its advocates little
more than palliative, it does not seem to the
writer to be superior to the supraTenaI capsule

lit was not The Tribune's intention. in the
article referred TO, to deny credit to the earlier
workers in this field, - merely to detail the
newer developments. DR.. Dicl1ie's extended ia
nIliarity with this line of treatment gives value
to his estimate of its efficacy though that esti-
mate be conservative.

AN ORGANISE OF ST. JOHNS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In Mr.. Krehbel's very interesting sketch Of
the music of Trinity Church and its chapeIs he
omitted mention of Charles Edward Horsley the
predecessor of Mr.. LIE Jeune as organist of ST
Johns Chapel. I knew Mr.. Horsley well, and was
a member of his choir there. For the sake of the
record therefore, I beg that you will give space
TO the following brief sketch of him, which have
written chiefly from my personal recolections of
him. and from what he told Several of the
works mentioned he gave TO me, including long
anthem, which he wrote for the annual festival of
the combined Trinity choirs. 1t used to be
tom that at least Of the Trinity organists
should furnish an original composition for each Of
these festivals
Charles Edward Horsley was the youngest
of DR.. William Horsley. the famous composer of
glees, and his wife daughter of the equally well
known composer, DIR. Callcott He was born in
kensington, London, December Is. 1921, and stud
led successfully under his father, Ignaz Moschees
Hauptmann and Mendelssohn. In middle life he
went TO Australia, and while there composed
cantata. "Euterpe," for the opening of the
Town Hall in Melbourne. He came TO New ork
and was organist of ST, Johns Chapel. in Varick-
St. in 1875, and until his death, February g.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
HOW REALLY TO TEST THE YACHTS.
Let Them Exchange Crews and Try Con-
clusions
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: To at least of your readers who is
keenly interested in the international yacht race
Judging from the newspaper reports of the races
already sailed the success of the Reliance on the
next sailing day (Thursday) while winning the
series Of and thereby retaining the precious
Cup viii, nevertheless. leave unsettled the Ques-
ton as to which is really the superior boat.
If these international yacht races have any pur-
pose whatever 1t must be to decide which boat
has the superior construction and is built along
the lines producing the greatest speed. Faulty
seamanshp or bad handling of Shamrock III.
which has been repeatedly charged, If true, does
not decide as to which is the superior or faster
boat even though the Reliance should cross the
hnshing line ahead of the Shamrock three times
successfully. Indeed, it would be the same kind
Oh decision as it would be if Cresceus should come
in under the wire ahead of Lou Dillon when it
was apparent to everybody that the latter horse
had been badly handled or perhaps "doped"
1t seems great pity that after hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been spent in preparing
for these magnificent racers a decisive result
should not be attained.
In order to determine which Is, after all. the
superior boat would make the suggestion through
your paper to the owners of the two yachts that
another race, series of two or three races, with
the crews OF the yachts changed-Captain Barr
Wnge and his crew S to be IN Command Of the

whether the important factor in the cup races
was superiority of yacht superiority of sea
interest botlin this Country and in England CAP

superior seamanship, while, on the other hand.
Captain Wringe and his men would do all in their
thereby showing that the Reliance the, Cup

There seems TO be no effort whatever made to en-
