MRS. HELEN POST SENTENCED.
Mental Science Healer Ordered 20 the
Penitentisry for One Year and
One Day-Appeal Taken.

One year ana uay IN the penl-
Tertiary at Nashville, Tenn, was the
sentence imposed by Judge Locke,
of the United States Court, at Jack
sonville, Monday upon Mrs Helen
Wilmans-Post, the mental scientist,
who was convicted of using the mails
for fraudulent purposes.
Mrs. Post" said Judge Locke,
have you anything to say why the
court should not pass sentence upon
you?"
Yes, your honor" said Mrs. Posi-,
arising and addressing the court
What | have to say is that you can
not pronounce sentence Of guilt
against me The sentence YOU are
gong to pronounce will be against
the ignorance of the age, and this
sentence will not only fail to condemn
me, buf it will exonerate me from
all participation in such ignorance.
As soon as Mrs. Post had con
cluded, Judge Locke pronounced
sentence in the following words:
Whereas, Helen Post, alias Helen
Wilmans-post, alias Helen Wilmans.
has been duly convicted of viola
tion f section 5lSO of the Revised
Statutes of the United States. as
amended bv the act Of March >. 1899.
by dcvisiug a scheme to dcfraud, and
using the mails Of the United States
for such fraudulent purposes, it Is
ordered that said Helen Post. alias
Helen Wilmans-Post, alias Helen
Wilmans. 50 convicted, be impris-
oncd for one wear and one day in the
penItcntiary At Nashville. Tenn. or
any other penitcntiary hereafter To
be designated by the Attorncy-Gen-
oral Of the United States, in acror-
dance with the law"
rs soon as sentence had been
passed, the attorneys for the dcfcn-
dlnt fled their assignment of error
and appeal bond in the sum Of 81
600 This was approved by the
court. and 80 days WAS allowed for
the filing of n bill of exceptions.
Whcrcupon writ of error and eta
ton, returnabie before the Circuit
Court of appeals at New Orleans on
March %, 1904, was granted and
issued. and service of action was
accepted
The assignment of error is vo-
luminous document and contains a
vast number OF grounds upon which
the court Is alleged to have erred
during the progress of the case and
in charging the jury. The first
ground is that the court erred in
overriding the demurrer to thc in
dictmcut No III. on the ground
that the facts therein alleged do not
constitute an offense against any
law of the United States. The de
Tense alleges that the only essential
constituent of the alleged scheme
to dcfraud consists Of the alleged
Intention to render no treatment.
and the letter alleged to have been
in the postotlice in the cN-
ccuiun Of the scheme Is not set
out, and the avcrmcnt that the let

PROFESSION AND BELIEF.

The action of the Nassau Presbytery in the
case OF the Rev DIR. Samuel L Carter can hard
~ fail to convey instruction to many persons
by whom it will not be approved. DR.. Carter
boldly declared last fall his disbelief In certain
parts Of the Westminster Confession and asked
his presbytery 10 determine whether or not
their relations should be severed. The commit
tee appointed TO confer with DR.. Carter unani-
mously advised that he should be requested to
remain in the communion, aud on Monday the
presbytery unanimously accepted the commit
tees report without waiting to hear the state
ment which he was ready to make in his own
| behalf. That was a circumstance peculiarly
gratifying TO Dr. Carter, but fortunately it
did not deter him from addressing the presby
terry, and indirectly much larger audience for
what be had to say was exceedingly well said
There is q possibility that he will he put on
trial for heresy before higher tribunal of the
Church in which case the preSbvterv which
has practically approved his conduct, must
seemingly be tried also; but have seen no
prediction that such a course will be taken
1t is more probable that other Presbyterian
clergymen will be emboldened to follow DR.
Carriers example and that former efforts to
secure the abandonment of the Westminster
Confession as the creed OF the Presbyterian
Church vii be renewed with greater vigor
Ii will hardly be denied in any quarter that
a great many of DIR. Carriers brethren share his
views. and we fail 10 see how those who do
not can conscientiously hope that they will
refrain from declaring the fact. In explain
ing his motives for making a plain ayowa
Of his position to the Nassau Presbytery Dr.
Carter said that he had been deeply impressed

THE NOBEL PRIZES.

IN the fourth annual award of prizes under
the provisions Of Alfred Nobel's will the one
for valuable service 10 physics goes to a Briton.
a little surprise may be felt that the honor was
not bestowed upon Lord Kelvin who has long
been pre-eminent as physicist, but the prefer
ence given to Lord Rayleigh is not hard 10 in
1errret Lord Rayleigh is a much younger
man. and his work is scarcely comparable with
that Of the Nest0r of science in the United King
dom. The Investigations for which be is known,
however. are more recent than those which
have distinction for Lord Kelvin. He
shared with Sir William Ramsay the credit of
discovering argon, one of the inert gases of the
atmosphere, less than ten years ago. and his
writings discuss a wide variety of physical phe
nomena. conspicuous among which are those of
sound,
The prize in chemistry also goes to Great
Britain, and is thoroughly deserved. Sir Will

claim 10 recognition by finding half dozen
previously unknown elements. He is probably
the first man to predict discovery of this kind
and then to make il himself. basing the forecast
On the mathematical relation existing between
the atomic weights Of elements in the same
group-a principle enunciated by and named
after Mendelief. In some respects the most
brilliant achievement Of Sir William was re-
corded early in the current year. Although the
exact significance Of his demonstration that
belium is in some manner evolved from radium
is not fully grasped. the event has produced a
profound impression on scientific minds
The propTiety of the other awards is too OBJ
vious TO provoke question. Professor Pavloff
of the Military Academy Of Medicine in St.
Petersburg, receives the prize in medicine So

war, the alienation OF the suffering Of wounded
soldiers is certainly a work of mercy Mistral
