HERRIcK's TOUR TRTUMPHAL.
Wherever He Appears Great Crowds Come From Nearly q Hundred
 Miles Away to Hear Him.


 Utica Special to N. Y. World.
 Judge D. Cady Herrick's tour through Northern New York came to an end to- day. He returned to Albany confident that his election Is assured. He said today:
 T must confess that I have been amazed by the great crowds; the lead CTS tell me they never saw anything to surpass 1t. There Is big break in the Republican line, as l found from talking with Republicans. I had not known before that the break extended to this part of the State. There is no doubt of the way New York is going.
 Not since Theodore Roosevelt, with a Rough Rider bugler on the end of his train went through the State in 1898, has curiosity to see a candidate been so keen. Everywhere Judge Herrick spoke special trains brought crowds from as far away as seventy-flve miles. Nowhere were the halls big enough to hold the crowds that came. At Platts- burg two theatres wouldn't hold the people At least half of those who came were Republicans.
 Came Miles to Hear Him.

Here they are all excited over the candidacy or Vlcsor sor Boire, a Frenchman in his twenties, TOT District Attorney. The Irish end of the ticket is held up by Hugh Behan, who is running for Sheriff.

sented among the pupils, China among them. Ten Chinese are taking lessons. Factory girls contemplating matrilnony are learning how to cook and being are learning to cook that they may know how to economize without caus- ing the family table to suffer.
 The aim of. the teacher is to train the students to manage simple homes in a capable manner. And while this array of working women and housewives Is working, another army Is sewing. The course in sewing includes dressmaking, and millinery, hand sewing, the use and care of the sewing machine, and exer- cises in pattern making, fitting and de- signing.
 In our judgment, the cooking school of public education. It has been test ed, and has proved its efficiency in the Fort Worth high schools.
 It would appear that the art of cook ing has fallen into bad ways in Texas, and common experience proves that other States are little If any better off than we are. Throughout the South, which used to be famous for it's culin- coming quite rare. In bellum times the daughters of the aristocracy were taught all branches of household economy, because 1t was deemed essen tial to train the girl to become the mls- tress of a household. She in turn taught her house slaves to capably per form domestic duties.
 But the Southern ante -bellum cook has long since disappeared. Wealthy people no longer regard it necessary to teach their daughters household econ only The art of cooking has been Cis- placed by the more polite arts. A good negro cook is rare indeed. and the ser wants we get from Europe are far short of our desires.
 What has become of the old-fashion- cd Southern beat biscuit?" What has become of the dear old corn pone, the hoe cake. egg bread, and numerous deli cacies which were the delight of all who tasted them in the good old days?
 No girl is too rich to know how to cook and sew. Such Accomplishments ought to be highly regarded rather than viewed with contemptuous indlf- ference. A household without a we'll conducted kitchen is in a bad way to begin with. As between a luxuriou drawing room and an efficient cooking department, the latter has the more substantial worth. There is no reason why home should not contain both. but the queen of the household should be able to reign in both. A man with a good kitchen behind him will be gooI- natured. faithful and patriotic--a good all around citizen. A soggy biscuit or poorly cooked steak breeds anarchy, despair and insanity.

The New Hampshire Discussion
Boston, Mass. oct. 17. 1904.


 Editor The Advertiser; ...
 In your issue of the 18th, you review ed recent decision of the New Hamp- shire Supreme Court relating to the practice of Christian Science. ,~
 You say you have seen the statement made that the courts of that State have formally decided that the Scientists have the same right to practice heal ing that regular physicians have' but
 statement of the facts concerning this decision will answer this question. The plaintiff in this case brought charges of damage against the Chris tian Science practitioner based upon the fact that he failed to cure her, the argument being that In assuming the responsibility Oi a case Of appendicitis damage was done to the patient because she depended upon the Scientist. and, according to the plaintiff's charge. sui fered in consequence. The judge held that she knew in a general way that icine and perfofm no surgical opera tions, but rely exclusively upon the divine power; therefore, she was not deceived. and could not claim that she if Christian Science practitioner prac- ticed consistently with his teaching in other words, if, while posing as Christian Scientist. he really practiced granted him that privilege. This de- cisiOn virtually means that q man may practice Christian Science in the State of New Hampshire, provided he con- fines himself strictly to such practice and does not practice outside the do- main of Christian Science; therefore, 1t is proper to say that this decision le- galizes the practice of Christian Scienc in the State of New Hampshire.
 In justice to the subject under dis cussiOn. desire to say that Christian Sclenctists have healed many cases of appendicitis One case during the past summer came under my observation where a woman was healed of appendi- citis after having been given up by the physician. Moreover in the New Hampshire case the testimony showed that the patient fared reasonably well under Christian Science treatment and was in better condition upon the sec ond attack than when she had the first attack. when. according to the ordinary cases of appendicitis, she might be eX- pected to be worse.
 The Lynn (Mass) News declares on this subject; We fancy that the doc tors of the regular schools of medicine would be kept pretty poor if they had to settle for every case they lose"
 Yours sincerely.
