problem Of moving centres Of population,
the tendency being toward the suburbs.
Lastly he spoke Of what preacher has

congregation.

Faith Cure Man. Who Neglected His Child,
Has Been Working in Lumber Camp.

New GLOUCESTER, Me, Oct 1s-J. Lu-
Their Pierson, the White Plains, N. Y,
man whose conviction and fine for neglect
ing to provide medical aid fer his dying
child has been sustained by the New York
Court OF Appeals has returned to Prophet
Sandford's flock at Shiloh, which he left
last spring.
Pierson has been working in a sawmill
here. When he came he said he had left
Shiloh because he could not stand the hard
work and because he did not get enough
to eat. He brought his family here.
Last summer his wife was taken ser-
ously III. He kept the information from
his fellow workmen for two weeks. When
they learned Of her illness they wanted a
physician called, but Person refused.
The proprietor Of the mill was notified.
and he invest gated the matter and found
Pierson praying over his sick wife. Despite
Persons protests, physician was sum-
moned, but the sick woman got up and
dressed and met him at the door, inform
ing him that she had fully recovered.
Pierson often spoke in praise of Dowie,
but refrained from letting them know that
he was the respondent in the New York
faith cure test case then pending in the
courts. He started in TO cook for the
camp, but his mind was so occupied with
religious thoughts that his cooking was not
success, and he was transferred to the

Systems improvements Will Go On.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. lo.--President A. J..
Cassatt Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to-day made statement regarding
the retrenchment policy OF the company
covering the reduction Of force and ex-
penditures. He said:
I'VE have stopped part Of the construc-
ton work but it is a comparatively small
part and not general reduction. 1t in
cludes the heavy work on the low grade i'm
provements between Columbia and Parkers-
burg. and between Thorndale and Paola
on the Philadelphia Division. This work
could not, in any event, have been COM
pleted in less than year or eighteen months,
and the expectation is that we shall go on
with it in tho spring.
This is the only work Of importance
which is stopped. All the rest of the con-
struction work on the line is going On ac-
lively, We have also made considerable
reductions Of force in the operation depart
ment. During the congested period of
last fall and winter considerations of econ
omy had to be put to one side 1t was neces-
sary to move the traffic at any cost, and,
as consequence, the number of men in
the service was largely increased. BY the
reductions now heing made we are simply
returning to normal conditions Our lines
are now working freely. and we anticipate
no trouble in moving the traffic during the
coming winter"
Questioned as to the outlook Of business,
Mr.. Cassatt said that he saw no indications
yet of any fallrg off in the tonnage, the
freight and passenger receipts both on the
lines east and west of Pittsburg continue
ing to show about the same increases over
last year as during the summer.

from the Pittsburg Stock Exchange. The

free selling during the last few days by

no buyers, and it declined to 80.

PARIS, Oct. 19.-The Revue Diplomdtique

Russian Ambassador to the United States,

Pessimists, he added, say that the con-

but it is to be hoped that their evil prophe-
c.es will not be realized. In any case the
initiative OF war will never came from

"The secret of their agitation is tina they

to be done in Formosa they do not find it
sufficient.
"Our rights in Manchuria are unques-

We have spent enormous sums of money
and enormous energy. We have great
interests, which we are bent on securing.

THAT benefit will not be for ourselves
