FISK EXTENDS
OMORI APOLOGY
Summarily Dismisses S
Bow Who Struck Savant
With a Stone.

Postmaster Fisk receives a letter last
Monday from the secretary of the Jap
anese Association of America calling
his attention to the fact that DIR. F.
Omori distinguished authority on
earthquakes, had been assaulted with
stones by boys last Sunday near the
postofhce building while engaged in
taking photographs of that portion of
the building and sidewalks injured by
earthquake and dynamite. He said
that the boys wore the uniform OF the
special delivery messengers employed
in the postofFioe. Immediately on re-
ceipt of the letter Postmaster Fisk dis
patched Hull McClaughry, his personal
representative, to the headquarters of
the association with written apology
for abe conduct of the boys and in
structed Mr.. McClaughry to detect the
Offenders and dismiss them from the
Government service.
The boys who were known to have
been outside of the building at 10
o'clock last Sunday morning were sum-
moned by Mr.. McC1aughry to his office
and were informed that If they did not
reveal the names of the guilty party or
parties they would all be dismissed.
They stout1y refused to inform in that
way and Mr.. MeClaughry proposed
that each deposit secret ballot in a
hat with the name of the guilty ones
written upon it. This was done and it
was found that one boy had received
a unanimous vote, evidently casting his
own ballot against himself. He was at
once dismissed from the service.
1t appears that the boys, whose ages
range from 13 to 15, were building a
cabin of old tins on a vacant lot near
where DR.. Omori was taking views, and
this boy, whose name the postal au-
thorities refused to divulge, threw a
stone at the professor, striking him on
the head.

STRIKING STORIES
TOLD Of CURES BY
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Sufferers Pronounced Incurable
by Physicians AreRestored
to Health.
Blind Are Made to See and the
Lame Regain the Use Of
Their Limbs.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


BOSTON. June 14.-An Boston is
talking today of the sensational testi-
mony regarding cures of diseases by
Christian Science healing which was
given at the ten Ihass-meetings held
in the Back Bay district last night.
The meetings were devoted to the tell
ing of Experiences" and many per-
sons not members of the faith were
impressed by the straightforward man
ner in which the stories Of marvellous
help were told.
Perhaps the most striking story
was that told by man from Man
chester, England. who said that his
daughter, about six years of age. was
suffering from disease of the hip joint
and consumption of the lungs and
though six years old had wasted away
until she weighed only twenty pounds.
She had to be bound in an iron splint
from shoulder to ankle. She kept
wasting from day to day and was on
the verge of the grave and nothing
that surgery could do could save her.
1t was at this time treatment by
Christian Science saved her from the
grave. She was put under treatment.
the iron splint was removed, the
emaciated tissues were renewed and
day by day she regained her health
and strength and now at 13 years of
age she is as strong, healthy, happy
and as well as any girl in the world.
A woman from Springfield, Mass,
testified that she had been healed after
having been pronounced incurable by a
number of physicians, who said she
would be an invalid as long as she
lived, which would be but short time
She was healed by Christian Science
in four weeks after beginning treat
ment She was also blind in one eye
and can now see perfectly with both
eyes.
A man from Los Angeles, Cal, said
his mother had been suffering with
dyspepsia for eighteen years, and went
to California in search of health. There
she heard of Christian Science, and
after reading Mrs. Eddys book, ''Sei-
ence and Health" only half way
through was healed entirely of dys-
pepsia, and is now well and healthy
woman.
Frank w Gale of San Francisco re-
ported that the past year had been
most prosperous. He had been com
missioned, he said, to express the sin
cere thanks of the Christian Scientists
of San Francisco for the generous help
given by their brother Scientists all
over the field in their recent severe
experience.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist,
Pasadena, Cal, reported membership
of 500 and that they had been enabled
to send to the mother church building
fund Sill, 500; also that wonderful heal
ing had been done, including every
known disease.
The Californians in an excursion way
had a trip to Lynn, where Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy lived so many years. They
spent hours about her former home.
Lynn is replete with stories of Mrs
Eddy. and the delegation felt that each
moment of the trip was blessed.

ward, for a Government loan OF s10.-

the San Francisco Clearing house As
ISOLATION, had met with the strongest
kind of opposition as establishing a
bad precedent which Congress could
not afford TO undertake. The relief
committees latest proposition. how
ever. which Judge Morrow presented
today. appeared to impress some meTn-
bers of the appropriations committee as
having much merit. Several OF the
prominent members of the House have
expressed the opinion that if the in
dorsement of that committee could be
obtained the necessary legislation could
be enacted at this session.
OPPOSITION TOO STRONG.
There is a strong sentiment. however,
among members generally against any
proposition that contemplates national
aid for the city through action by Con-
gress. and it seems extremely doubtful
whether this opposition can be over
come. The relief committee viii nave
another hearing at the Capitol tomor-
row. Meanwhile. it will have a further
conference with the members or the
California Congressional delegation,
who are giving the committee every as
sistance and support possible In ths
effort to secure the desired legislation.
The Californians are confident that
both the President and Secretary shaw
will soon take steps for the deposit or
Government funds to the amount or
10000, 900 or more in the nauonaA
banks of San Francisco, on the security
OF the city's bonds. the money to re-
main on deposit there for a hxed PEI

nainistration- This may be accomplished

Tho faithful Beasts Are OF Great Use to

DO blind men keep dogs because
they are useful. or merely to excite
the compassion of the passerhy? That
was the question addressed to several
blind troubadours on the curbstone in
different parts of London by repre-
sentative Of the Daily Mail
The first was an exceptionally intelli-
gent and respectable man, who stood
in the fading light OF mid-afternoon in
Kingsway. At his feet squatted large
grave, woolly dog. with an empty tin
mug strapped round its neck.
An amused expression crept over
his face at the query.
"WelI, sir, think the gentleman who
says it's cruel TO keep dogs with blind
men don't know the whole story by a
bit. It's a queer story hasn't more

attention to me; they're in too much
OF q hurry. You see, the strap helps
me to reach her tin quick and get the
pennies. Yes, she's got comfortable
place at home. She steers me about

did the dog cost you much?'
"Half a crown. sir; but ordinary

The breast of the blind mans coat
was quickly unbottomed; his right
hand slid far down somewhere into
the depths. He was using his marvel
ously-sensitive finger tips, while his
questioner held his own chronometei

Don. nllnk Your Ess,.

If you ever find yourself getting into
the habit Of blinking your eyes rapidly
without cause, stamp the inclination
out at once. An authority says this
habit win make your eyesight fail long
before 1t ought.
Natural blinking Is essential TO clear
and moisten the eyes. and the average
number OF natural blinks per minute
is about twenty. These are necessary,
and you do them unconsciously. But
a nervous "blinker" win get in some
thing like a couple OF hundred in a
minute In bad cases, and the result OF
this is big development of the eyelid
muscles and counter irritation that
acts on the optic nerve. and renders
the sight daily more weak and irrlta'
bic.
The cure consists in keeping the eyes
shut for at least ten minutes in every
hour. thus resting them, and bathing
the lids in warm water.
