Ity- We have been wanting to put Q

sion, and this good deed OF yours

1T is kindness to us to be al
lowed to help, I'm sure" murmured
the little lady. "You will let me
know when more is needed? Promise
| me that, DOCTOR"
Il shouldn't be good Methodist if
I didn't" laughed the doctor. Then
he remembered the housewarming,
and was moved to make amends for
| the regrets. sI'm sorry we couldn't
be neighborly the other evening. but
my sister is very frail, and Charlotte

But for some reason the doctors vi
carious promise was not kept. and
| the Farnhams held a1oof, notwith-
standing Margery's praiseworthy ac-
tivity in ST. Johns; and the Oswalds
| relinquished the public library
project when it became noised about
that Jasper Grierson and his daugh-
ter were moving in it. Margery pos
| sessed her soul in patience, and was
placably persistent; but when the
winter wore away and spring came
and found the conservative opposi-
ton increasing rather than diminish
| ing, she grew vindictive, as who
would not.
.'They think I'm a iayi" she said
to herself one day. when the Ray

parent1y taken pains to avoid her at
| the counters in Thornwalden's.
ssThey need a lesson, and they're in
| fair way to get it. I'm not going

The next afternoon she. met Ray
mer as he was coming out of the
| First national bank. They were
| fairly good friends by. this time. and
the young man stopped willingly
enough to exchange commonplaces
| with the presidents daughter. In
| the midst of them she astonished
| him.
'sMr::' Raymer, please tell me what
/ I have done to offend your mother
and sister," she said. abruptly; and
half of the deferred payment of tri-
| umph was discharged on the. spot by
Raymer's bfundering attempts at dis
| avowal.
"Why, Miss Margery! I don't
| know-that. is-er-you really must

| I'm not, and I'd like to know"
she persisted, looking him hardly
| in the eyes. 81 am sure it must be
something I have been doing. and
| if I can find out what it is I'll re-
form"
| Raymer got away as quickly as he
could: and when the opportunity of
fered was besotted enough to repeat
the question to his mother and Ger

0'FARRELl SAYS HE DID
.. NOT WRITE HEADLINES

llr. O'Farrell denied having had any
thing to do with the scandalous headlines
over these articles but admitted the au-
thorship of most OF the matter.
These articles were then all offered in
evidence.
The purpose OF this offer, as can be seen
readily, is the natural sequence of the
morning testimony when the fact that i.
Aug. lieinzc controls the Revcille was
established by Mr.. OFarrell's evidence.
O'Farrell has admitted that control and
practical ownership and has admitted also
his own efforts to bring about the disbar-
mcnt of Mr. Shores. The vicious attacks
on Mcssrs. Shores and Stivers in that pa
per are now in evidence. These things.
all taken together, are for the purpose
of Establishing the theory of the defense
that conspiracy exists among the llcinze
forces to disbar Mr.. Shores.
The articles are of a character 10 pre-
judice the public mind against the defend
ant in this case and thus are material evi-
dcnce towards establishing the alleged con
spiracy.
Continuing the discrimination OF MIR.
OFarrell Mr.. Vale asked the witness as
TO the circulation OF the Reveille. lie said
II was 10000 during campaign times, but
now IL about 5000 or 10000. lie said the
circulation was general in Montana and
generally over the country, including New
York, Boston, Washington and other East

The Butte inter mountain., 1903-01-21
UNUSUAL STYLE OF
HEADLINES USED

The headlines were in the usual Rcvcllc
style, making irresponsible statements re-
garding the Shores trial, to which the
WHOLE issue was devoted.
A copy of the issue of the Revelle of
January 10 was shown to the witness. lie
denied having written certain article on
the Shores case, saying IL was written Ivy
his assistant. lie denied having seen the
article before its publication and declared
that he had not yet read the article.
MIR. O'Farrell, however. admitted that
he had caused these two issues OF the
paper TO be printed and circulated. lie
admitted writing an article on the Shores
case in the issue of January o, but denied
responsibility for its publication or circu
lation, saying that Brousc was in charge
then.
Then came the presentati-n Of the issue
of December 10 last. hcadeu Significant
Disappearance but Mr.. O'Farrcll dc
clared he was in Ireland on December 10
and could not be responsible.
After this the issue OF the Revcillc of
October 20 was presented, with another
article headed "Pcnitcntiary the Place for
Criminals" OFarrell admitted this and
said IL was in paper printed under the
had told at the morning session.
Articles in several other issues OF the
Revcilc of campaign days were then
identified in ike manner.
All these articles refer to the llarncy.

ativc terms. They all bitterly assail

ONLY ONES ASSIGNED
TO THE SAME ROOM

lie said further that room u is on the
third floor of the hotel lie also said that
Johnson and Wilson were the only guests
on that day registered as coming before the
dinner hour and that they were the only
ones assigned to the same room.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Kelley the wit
ness could not remember having noticed
particularly other names on the register
that day besides the name of Mrs. Brack-
ett though he was confident he had seen
other names there.
The name of Ella Knowles Haskell ap-
pears on the sheet. The witness admitted
that he knew Ella Knowles Haskell. that
she undoubtedly was registered at the
hotel that day, but her name made no inn
preston on his mind. He could not re-
member If, when he first saw Mrs.
Brackets name on the register that morn
ing il was the last name on the sheet, or
il other names were written below it, The
witness could point out no alterations or
changes made in the sheet since it left his
possession.
Several attempts were made by the de-
Tense TO get the sheet introduced in evil
dnce, but the court ruled against its ad-
mission.

HAS CHARGE OF ALL
HEINZE'S BUSINESS

Because | had charge Of all such busi-
ness for Mr.. Heinze," was the decidedly
frank admission.
Recurring to the Reveille, Mr.. Vale asked
as TO the authority for the article, THE
True Story OF the Minnie Healy," which
Mr.. O'Farrell had written for that paper.
Mr.. O'Farrell said that he had gained his
information from Miles Finlen John Flan-
nigan, Tom Kinds, John Forbis. +. A..
Heinze: J. NJ Kennedy, John MacGinniss
and others.
Including Judge Harneyi" asked Mr..
Vale.
The witness said that he did not think
he had got an interview from Harney on
the subject at that time. He admitted in
accuracies on the subject and explained
them by saying that he had been away
from the country at the time OF the Thorn
ton hotel meeting and had got some wrong
ideas regarding it. He said that Charles
w. Clark was the indirect source of some
OF the information he received on the sub
ject. He admitted that he had started the
campaign for the disbarment OF Mr.. Shores
and had done so against the wishes of
some OF Mr.. Heinze's friends. Back the
cross examiner then came TO the subject of
the Revelle.
"Mr. O'Farrell," said he, who gets
the profits OF the Revelle!" Then
everybody roared The witness answered,
gravely, that my side partner, Mr..
Brouse," got the profits. He explained
that in times when no campaign was on
the profits of the job department and the
advertising ran the paper and gave Brouss
a profit. He declared that so long as he,
O'Farrell, was at the head of affairs in
person the paper showed a profit. This
statement was the occasion for another
smile.
The witness said that the arrangem mt
for the purchase of the papers ne made
with Mr.. Heinze personally. He said,
however, that the papers were distributed
By himself and not by Mr.. Heinzc.

IDENTIFIES LEAF FROM
REGISTER AT THE HOTEL

Resuming the direct examination, Mr..
Breen presented the leaf from the hotel
register as shown Monday. The witness
identified it, saying Il think it is a sheet
from my hotel register
The witness failed to recognize the
handwriting OF the names of T.. q. John
son and Frank Wilson, which appeared
under the name of Mrs. Bracket. Mr..
Newton said the sheet had been taken
from his register without his permission.
lie had missed it August &. 1901. He
said the hotel officials believed the sheet
had been taken by man he suspected Of
being detective who was staying in the
house. but the man denied the offense and
the authorities said there was no evidence
on which to act.
The cross-examinaton was then re-
sumed by Mr.. Kelley. Mr.. Newton said
his meeting with Judge Harney had taken
place before noon, August 7.
On the sheet the letter 3D." signifying
dinner appears after the names OF l.. q.
Johnson and Frank Wilson or Nelson. He
said dinner at that time was served in the
middle OF the day. Opposite the name of
William Springer of Spokane appears the
letteer ID" also, but these three are the
only names so marked on the sheet. No
address appears after the names of John
son and Wilson. Judge Harney. il will be
remembered, testified that he did not eat
the midday meal at the hotel
AS to the number ~ opposite the names
OF Johnson and Wilson, he said il dcsig-
mated the room to which these people were
assigned. He would not say whether or
not Wilson and Johnson had been assigned

MARY BAKER EDDY.

Concord, n. H., January I4th.-In view
OF the circulation of certain criticisms
from the pen of Mark Twain, | submit the
following statement
1t is fact, well understood, that I
begged the students who first gave ME
the endearing appellative mother" not
to name me thus. But without my consent
that word spread like wildfre. | still must
think the name is not applicable to me /
stand in relation TO this century, as a
Christian discoverer, founder, and leader.
! regard Standardization as glasphemous t;
! may be more loved, but | am les,
lauded,. pampered, provided for, and
cheered, than others before me-and
wherefore! Because Christian Science is
not yet popular, and refuse adulation.
My first visit to the Mother Church
after it 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 de-
clined, and went alone in my carriage to
the church, entered it, and knelt in thanks
upon the steps OF its altar. There the
foresplendor Of the beginnings OF truth fell
mysteriously upon my spirit | believe in
one Christ, teach one Christ, know OF but
one Christ. | believe in but one incarna-
tion, one Mother Mary, and know | am
not that one. and never claimed to be. II
suffices me to learn the Science of the
Scriptures relative to this subject.
Christian Scientists have no quarrel with
Protestants, Catholics or any other sect.
They need to be und srstood as following
the divine Principle-God, Love-and not
imagined TO be unscientifc worshipers of
human being
In the aforesaid article, Of which have
seen only extracts, Mark Twain's wit was
not wasted in certain directions. Chris.
tan Science eschews divine rights in hu-
man beings. If the individual governed
human consciousness, my statements of
Christian Science would be disproved but
to understand the spiritual idea is essen
tial to demonstrate 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 life-work subordnated the
material to the spiritual, and he left this
legacy of truth to mankind. His meta
physics is not the sport of philosophy, re-
ligon, or Science rather is it the pith
and finale of them all.
| have not the inspiration or aspiration
to be first or second Virgin Mother-her
duplicate, antecedcnt, or subsequent. What
am remains to be proved by the good l

love to perform the functions of foreshad-
owing and foretasting heaven within us.
This glory is molten in the furance of

NO MORE WITNESSES
WITHIN JURISDICTION

Mr.. Breen, the friend Of the court said
the prosecution at this time had no more
witnesses within the jurisdiction Of the
court but was looking for Mrs. Bracket
and hoped to get her He said there W.,
nothing else besides this except the cross
examination of J. M. Kennedy, and h,
would suggest that this go over until the
defense was ready to present its case. An
agreement TO that effect was made, and il
was also agreed that the testimony of
Mrs. Bracket for the state will be takei
when her attendance is secured
the court agreed on two weeks notice
before resumption at the request of Mr.
Vale That gentleman said he was
anxious to get back to Colorado, as
there are some very interesting things
going on there now" and that he wanted
ample notice before being required to re.
