hauibars answers kuropatkin.
The publication of General Kuropat-
kin'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 at 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 were 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.

Evelyn Thaw's Cross Examination.
When the trial of Harry Thaw for
the murder Of Stanford Whi4e 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
Rage were admitted in evidence. The
testator had thus set apart $4,000, in
the hands of such men as Dr. Park
hurst. Comstoek, 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 un-
sound condition OF the defendants
mind.
A searching and relentless cross ex-
animation of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was
begun by District Attorney jerome
Feb. %. It soon became apparent
that the district attorneys intimate
knowledge of the young woman's past
was drawn in part from statement
from her own mother, Mrs. Holman.
His purpose was to undermine the
credibility of Mrs. Thaw's previous
story on the stand, and in pursuit of
this his questions brought the admis-
sion that she had continued her init
mate relations with White after her
first downfall that she had received
money from him regularly and had cor
responded with him after Thaw's pro
posal She admitted that she came to
believe Whites statement that all wo-
men were secretly unchaste. As the
examination proceeded and she was
compelled to tell of her meetings with
White she broke down and wept con-
vulsively.

Baptist Donations Decrsase.
The executive committee Of the Bap-
list Missionary union has recently is
sued circular showing that the dona-
tions 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, a healer
Of Belfast Me-. in 1868. are the theme
of the February installment Of Me-
Clure's history of Christian Science.
The story is told how Mrs. Eddy, at
that time the wife of Mr.. Patterson,
had become confirmed invalid and
had heard Of Quimby's wonderful cures
and how she was treated by Quimby
with great success, becoming his de-
voted adn;rer 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-establsh 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
tients that their diseases were errors
of the imagination. Under this man
Mrs. Eddy pursued studies in 1864 and
thus came to regard herself as spir-
ttual healer.
