The group consists of about nine spots In all, and now shows indications of condensing into two principal spots, or groups, somewhat separated. Yesterday. the total length of the disturb region was 172, 900 miles, with width of about 5000 miles, the aggregate length of the principal spots being l23.000 miles.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE NOT
 A CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
New York Court of Appeals Decides That Man Who Neglected His Child and Allowed It to Die for the Lack of Med-
 ica Attention Must Suffer the Penalty

invoked to heal the sick and that faith is all that Is required, but there are others who believe the Creator has supplied the earth, Natures storehouse with every thing that man may want for his sup port and maintenance, including the re- storation and preservation of health, and that he is left to work out his own sal vation under fixed natural laws There are still others who believe that christi anity and science go hand in hand, both proceeding from the Creator; that science is but the agent of the Almighty through which he accomplishes results and that both science and divine power may be invoked together to restore diseased and suffering humanity. But sitting as a court of law for the purpose of eonstruing and determining the meaning of statutes, we have no power to determine which is correct. We place no limitations upon the power of the mind over the body. the power of faith to dispel disease, or the power of the supreme being to heal the sick. We merely declare the law as given us by the legisulature. We find no error on the part of the trial court

 We began work last March only, but by the evidence gathered through investi- gations conducted so far, 1t has been prov ed beyond a doubt that the scalper brings no new business, but simply preys on old business already established and belonging to the railroads His operations have be- come so extensive that his illegal and ne- farious practices have made serious cuts into the passenger earnings of all the roads. Our work extends all over the states. We will confine our labors to no particular section, but wherever a fellow is caught up with, we will be on the ground represented and actively and un- remittingly prosecuting the culprit We have done some good already and hope to accomplish a great good in the end with the cooperation of the local division of this"

4 LBANY, N. Y. October 1s-Especial A interest attaches to the decision handed down today by the court of appeals in the case of the people versus Pierson, declaring dependence upon faith healing in the case of sickness to be criminal negligence.
