Services Held at Worcester and Body
Taken to Concord For lnterment.
Worcester. Mass, Oct. 4.-Funeral
services for United States Senator
George f. Hoar were held here. in tho
presence of many persons representing
societies and associations, the city of
Worcester, the commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts and the congress OF the
United States, the favorite hymns of
the dead statesman were sung. the Goth
Psalm was read, and two clergymen
spoke words in eulogy of the man who
had been their friend for many years.
Public and private business In the
city was suspended. Buildings were
draped and pictures of Senator Hoar
were generally displayed with symbols
of mourning in the windows.
The services. which were held in the
little Church of the Unity, which Sena-
tor Hoar attended, in accordance with
the wishes of the senator, were of a
most unceremonious nature Three
hymns were sung. Rev. DIR. Rush r.
Shipper, of Brockton, formerly pastor
of the Church of the Unity, spoke brief
ly of his personal acquaintance with
Senator Hoar and DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, the venerable chaplain OF the
United States senate, schoolmate and
lifelong friend of the senator, spoke at
greater length, after having read a
psalm and offered brief prayer.
Less than an hour was taken up with
the simple exercises at the church, and
after those present had taken final
look 1T the face of the senator, the body
was removed to city hall, to lie in state
where the thousands whom the church
could not accommodate might have
opportunity to take final leave. Today
the body was taken to Concord, where
interment was made.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LEGAL
Patients Who Resort to Such Treat
ment Cannot Recover DAMAGES.


Concord, N. H, Oct. 5.-The legality
OF the practice of Christian Science in
New Hampshire was upheld by the
supreme court of the state In a de-
cision handed down in the suit Of Mrs.
Jennie Spead, of this city, to recover
damages for alleged injuries as the re-
suit OF treatment by Irving W. Tom
linson, Christian Science practi-
toner, also of Concord. Mrs. Spead
claimed that Tomlinson had failed to
cure her of the illness for which he
treated her, and that her cure was
greatly delayed by the time spent in
taking his treatment. The case was
decided in favor OF the defendant in
the lower court, Z but the plaintiff ap-
pealed. The supreme court now afirms
the decision and dismisses the bill. In
substance the court holds that the
practice OF Christian Science is legal
and that patients who have resorted
to such treatment cannot recover dam
ages in case the practitioner uses the
accepted Christian Science methods OF
treatment
The plaintiff claimed damages on
three grounds, negligence. deceit and

Rock Island Frisco Agreement
Starts Speculation.
Believed Rock Island Will Build
from Chandler to Okmulgee.
ONLY PART OF PLAN.
Will Pay Rental of 2 Per Cent
on 81, 2O4,75O.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railway Circles.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 19.-The filing
of the trackage agreement in the office
of the territorial secretary, whereby the
Rock Island secures use of the Frisco
tracks between Oklahoma City and
Chandler for a term of fifty years from
March "a, 1904, has been the cause of
considerable comment in railroad and
Industrial circles. Nothing of an Off
cial nature concerning the intentions
of the Rock Island could be learned,
but it in no way deferred speculation
on the subject. Several solutions were
offered but of course none were con-
elusive.
According to the trackage agreement,
the Rock Island has equal use of the
line with the Frisco, and may carry on
all business as carrier including ex-
press and telegraph, and the expenses
of the maintenance of the line, the
taxes, etc, are to be prorated, and the
Rock Island is to pay a sum equal to
2 per cent annually on $1,204, $50, the
estimated value of the line, for the
trackage privileges conferred by the
Frisco. The trackage agreement ap-
plies no farther than Chandler on the
Frisco, and at present the Rock Island
is operating no line into that city. Why
this road should desire to run trains,
over the fifty miles covered by the
agreement, when it will secure but lit
tie better connections than it now has,
no one seems in a position to say. The
general conclusion is that it is a part
of a plan for the building of new con-
nections or for the revision of the
manner of operating the present Rock
Island and Frisco lines.
The Rock Island owns the line from
Guthrie to Chandler, formerly known
as the Choctaw and Western, and OPP
Grated by the Frisco under the terms of
a 99-year lease. BY a trackage agree
ment with the Santa Fe covering the
part of the line from Cashion, the Rock
Island runs trains into Guthrie from its
main line at Kingfsher. 1t will then
be seen that the road owns the greater
part of the line extending from King
fisher through Guthrie to Chandler.
These lines it is said might be profit
ably operated by the Rock Island, but
the proportion of their earnings would
be greatly increased should the con-
nection with the Ozark and Cherokee
Central be made by the construction of
a line from Chandler to Okmulgee. This
might also be done by the construction
of the line from Chandler to the Choc-
taw over the survey originally made
by the Choctaw company. A part of
ter case the trackage agreement would
not be of so great value.
The general impression is that the
Rock Island intends to build the fifty
miles connection from Chandler to Ok
mulgee. This would Civ a line from
Ark, through. one of the
best parts of the Indian Territory,
through Chandler and Guthrie to Rock
Island main line at KingfiSher and at
the same time to Oklahoma City and
other Rock Island connections.
