A lot of Parhamites are under
indictment in Chicago, charged
with murder. 1t seems according
to the confession of two or three
of them, that an old lady who
was suffering badly from rheum-
atism and paralysis, was prayed
over and twisted about in such
a manner that she died. One OF
the Parhamites confesses that he
twisted the old lady's arms until
he broke them; that when she
cried out in her agony that he
held his hand over her mouth to
smother the noise; that he choked
her, and that he twisted her neck.
1t would seem from the confess
sion that some of the horrors OF
the Spanish inquisition have been
improved on.

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. at. J.
Vest of Galena, Kas., one of the
Oldest prospectors and miners in
the Missouri-Kansas lead and
zinc district, announced at a
meeting of local committee of the
American Mining Congress, that
he had been prospecting in this
district for more than twenty
years and that he has never found
ore in paying quantities. Men
who know Vest well, say that he
ALWAYS looks upon the bright side
|of matters, and say that some
day he will make a strike and be
repaid for his time and money
spent during the past twenty
years. Vest has bought and sold
many mines and has produced
much ore in Galena, but in order
to get a mine it has always been
necessary for him to buy out some
other prospector.

New York, Dec. 25.-There was no spirit of depression in the city this Christmas day. From the Bronx to the Battery and over into Brooklyn, there was merry making that must have satisfied the jolliest soul. Those who have no cheer of their, own were bountifully supplied by those who had enough and to spare. Those in po- sition to know say that never before have good things been distributed with so lavish hand, or 50 many of the less fortunate made happy with gifts.
 Beginning at noon yesterday the Christmas festivities were in full swing. Even the stock exchange walls were hung with holly and mistletoe.

CONFLICTING FORCES
 IN NAVY DEPARTMENT
A Probable Explanation of the Retirement
 of Rear Admiral BrOwnsOn>
Surgeon General Rixey Says That the Admiral Was Ruled Against In the Selection of a Commander for Hospital Ship.

Washington, Dec. 2J.-Surgeon Cen eral Rixey of navy returned tonight, and in response to many inquiries in regard to the resignation of Admiral Brownson as chief Of the bureau of navigation gave out a statement as to the hospital ship Relief. which figured prominently in the episode.
 While disclaiming any knowledge as to the exact cause of BrOwnSOn's res ignation. the statement leaves scarcely a doubt that the friction between the bureau of navigation and the medical department of the navy was a potent factor. The controversy had its origin in the matter of sending the hospital ship with the battleship fleet over which there arose a conflict au- thority as to whether a medical officer or an officer of the line should be as signed to the command.
 That a serious breach exists between the bureau of navigation and the bu- reau of medicine. involving the ques- ton of the responsibility of the latter bureau was apparent tonight in the statement ~r VI RiXey. He touched upon the circumstances leading to the selection by the president of medical officer to command the hospital ship Relief over the protest of Brownson. While disclaimins exact knowledge as 10 the cause of Brownson's resigna- ton the surgeon generals statement leaves little room for doubt that that controversy was a potent factor.
 Dr. RIxey maintains that hospital ships as-a rule have always been commanded by medical officers. with sailing master and civilian crew for the purposes of navigation. This par ticular vessel he says. formerly be- longed to the army and was com manded by medical officer when used as a hospital ship. In attempt ing to unfit the medical service of the army and navy he says that a joint army and navy board of medical or ficers which was convened by execu- tive order more than year ago rec
