Baptist Donations Decrease.

| The executive committee Of the Bap-
tist Missionary union has recently is
sued a circular showing that the dona-
| tons from the Baptist churches last
year were $4,000 short of the previous
year and only slightly in excess of
what they were ten years ago. The
Chicago Standard, one of the leading
Baptist papers, asks what is the mat
ter and answers that the situation Is
the result of failure on the part of
many Baptists to read their denom-
| national papers, but adds that the real
| reason lies in the lack of the 'life OF
Christ in the life of man"
Quimby, Mrs. Eddy's Teacher.
The relations of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, head Of the Christian Science
church, to Phineas P. Quimby, healer
of Belfast. Me, in 1868, are the theme
Of the February installment Of Nc
Clure's history of Christian Science.
The story is told how Mrs. Eddy, at
that time the wife of a Mr.. Patterson,
had become a confirmed invalid and
had heard of Quimbys wonderful cures
with great success, becoming his de-
voted adlrirer and disciple. Quimby's
theory was then known as the Science
of Health" and christian Science"
He held that in every individual there
were two persons, one being the truth,
goodness and wisdom into which he
had been born, and the other formed
Of matter, sense and the accumulated
errors of time. The first knew nothing
of sickness. but was held in bondage
by the second. the bonds consisting Of
false human beliefs and especially the
idea of disease. Quimby's mission was
to re-establish the natural harmony be-
tween the two beings Instead of harp
ing on the idea Of sickness he harped
on the idea of health, telling his pa
tents that their diseases were errors
Of the magma ton. Under this man
Mrs. Eddy pursued studies in 1864 and
thus came to regard herself as q spir-
ltual healer.

NaulpafS answers NuropatkIn.
The publication of General Kuropat-
kfn's history of the Russo Japanese
war, which was condscated by the gov
ernment and in which charges of cow
ardice, Incompetence and disobedience
were hurled st Russian officials of the
highest rank, has called forth an an
swer from General Kaulbars, governor
of Odessa. The book has placed upon
kaulbars the entire responsibility for
the great Russian defeat when Muk-
den was captured and for the defeats
at Sandepu and the Sha river. On the
contrary Kaulbars says that the de-
feat at the Sha river was chiefly due
to kurOpatkin'S removing his reserves.
Kaulbars says that the real causes of
Russia's defeat were lack of patriot
ism and the revolutionary ideas with
which the reserves We're imbued, to-
gether with the activity of the Chinese
bandits in obstructing the railroad.
Kuropatkin's history is In three bulky
Volumes and the whole story is one
of unpreparedness, disorganization and
cross purposes. In summing up the
causes of Russia's defeat Kuropatkin
mentions the preponderance of Japa-
nese forces, their better preparedness,
their youth, lighter equipment and
mountain artillery. their patriotism,
their capable officers and "the INSULT
cient warlike spirit of our own troops
in consequence of the total obscurity
surrounding the objects and causes of

Evelyn Thaw's Cross Examination.
When the trial of Harry Thaw for
the murder Of Stanford White was re-
newed. Doctors Evans and Wagner, the
alienists for the defense. repeated
Thaw's conversation with them. He
said he never intended to shoot White.
but that Providence had stepped in
and directed him. He said he merely
wanted to expose Whites infamy. His
great fear was that the lawyers were
in conspiracy to railroad him to an
asylum. After struggle between op-
posing counsel the will and codicil
made by Thaw on the night of his mar
riage were admitted in evidence The
testator had thus set apart $4,000, in
the hands of such men as Dr. Park
hurst. Comstock, and others to prose
cute Stanford White for having ruined
other girls besides Miss Nesbit; also a
sum was devoted to prosecute any one
suspected of killing Thaw. These pro-
visions were expected to show the I'M

FREE AFTER Is YEARS

NEW YORK. March 2S.-James Fla
herty has been recalled TO life. After
25oyears in a cell in Auburn prison he
has emerged into a world as strange
to him almost as it is to the newborn
babe. Until a few days ago he had
never expected to come into It again.
He had gone a youth and came out an
aged man. Therefore he was bewil-
dered and afraid.
Fortunately there were some to meet
him and. welcome him to the light;
doubly fortunate it was, in fact, seeing
that he has no living kith or kin except
very aged father in Ireland.
After a while he became easier and
more curious. and by nightfan he was
quite composed, but this was due en-
tirely to the kindly counsel and gentle
ministrations of the "little mother"
That is what he will call her to the end
of his days, although to the world at
large she is known as Mrs. Maud Bal
lington Booth, wife Of the chief Of the
Volunteers Of America. 1t was she
who obtained his liberty after seven
long years of effort. and it is she who
means to care for him in one of her
country colonies Of usefulness.
He had brought along a cage of his
pet canary birds and an old dog, blind
in one eye, and he was more solicitous
of them than of himself.
Mrs. Booth took him in an open car
riage to the West Twenty-third street
terry, so that he should see something
