Court Upholds Christian Science.

A dispatch from Concord N. H., last
night says: The legality of the practice of
Christian Science in New Hampshire was
upheld by the supreme court OF the state
today in a decision handed down in the
suit of Mrs. Jennie Spead of this city to re-
cover damages for alleged injuries as the
result of a treatment by Irving w. Tomlin-
son, Christian Science practitioner, also
of Concord Mrs. Spead claimed that Tom
linson had failed to cure her of the illness
for which he treated her, and that her cure
greatly delayed by the time spent in
taking his treatment. The case was decided
in favor of the defendant in the lower
court. but the plaintiff appealed. The su-
preme court now affirms the decision and
dismisses the suit In substance the court
holds that the practice of Christian Science
is legal. and that patients who have re-
sorted to such treatment cannot recover
any damages in case the practitioner uses
the accepted Christian Science methods of
treatment. The plaintiff claimed damages
on three grounds-negligence, deceit and
breach of warranty.

NOT GOING ON THE STAGE.
Mrs. Maybrick's Attorneys Authorized
to DENY Rumors.

Messrs Hayden & Yarrell of this city, at
torneys for Mrs. Florence Maybrick stated
today that Mrs. Maybrick, in a letter to
them, has positively denied the oft-repeated
statements that she is to appear on the
stage. Ever since her release from the
English prison, in which she was serving
sentence for the alleged murder of her hus-
band. rumors of her intention to appear on
the stage have been current. The rumors
have been published with such persistency
throughout the country that editorials have
Deen printed in some papers condemning
the unfortunate woman for having such in
tentions. One of the latest denunc tory
editorials appeared but few days ago, in
which Mrs. Maybrick was severely con-
demned because of the report recently
printed, that she intended to appear in a
drama which would depict the tragedy of
her life, and that she would sing THE Holy
City, during the course of the play.
Mrs. Maybrick wrote to her attorneys in
this city and authorized them to state posi-
lively that she has no intention of exhibit
ing herself or of appearing on the stage in
any play. 1t is stated further that Mrs.
Maybrick has had no intention of going on
the stage at any time since her release. She
Is working hard in her efforts to secure her
vindicatiOn and full pardon for the offense
with which she was charged, tried and con-
victed, and would not have time to under
take dramatic work if she had the least in
clination to do so.

The Cattle Business.

An exchange says: Cattle feeders
over the country are still displaying
extreme caution buying thin cattle
Whatever they may do, paving high
prices is not part of their policy this
season. Many of them admit their
intention to feed but as stOckers and
as values have been seeking lower
level right along contend logically that
they have made money while waiting.
Kansas and Nebraska are the only
States that have been heavy buyers of
thin cattle SO far. The deficiency in
this movement to feed lots has been
the cause of considerable speculation.
One Chicago live stock concern has
flooded the country with inquiry by
maitland concludes from the responses
elected that the number of cattle
now on feed is but 70 per cent Of that
at the corresponding time. in 1908
This concern has also made the dis
covery that there is a tendency among
feeders to buv cattle late and begin
feeding early in January for late
Spring and summer markets. II true
this suggests that the winter market
will be lightly supplied while the ex-
cess will show up after May. These
eStimatea are after all mere cOnjec-
lures, but there can be no doubt that
the number of cattle now on feed is
considerably less than at this time
