 against Him. Every one Nho ever brought 10 the world any innovation that should mark one distinct march in the line of progress in any d.rec- ton, has been greeted by the same old objection, You 80 too far.
 Strangely, inevitably has it ever been the case that one who has brought to his generation heaven born truth that would lift it to higher levels of thinking and living, has always been met, not only by the worlds seorn and derision. but by it's malice and persecution; and even his brethren have greeted him with the biting gibes. Behold this dreamer com eth, and then have sold him into Egypt But the one who, with the conviction Of a divine ideal is Egypt's bcndman to-day, stands next to the throne to-morrow; and his brethren come to his feet to buy the bread that will save their lives The worlds light bringers and ltght-bearers have all been the dreamers. the idealsts whose i only transgression was that they went ! too far.
 "The Christian Scientist has adopted l the ideal of Jesus. an ideal that in- ! cludes all the possibilities of good and excludes all the elements of the flesh l and Of evil; and he finds the, practical application and demonstration of this ideal in affirming the constant healing. guiding, sustaining presence of divine love and in denying any principle, pow CT or reality to evil This affirmation of good and denial of evil gain bene- f1ccnt results, just to the degree of the Cloarness of the understanding and the faithfulness of the application of the ideal. and herein is found the only reeded means and mode by which tc prove Gods love and power to be suf- fcient for every need. A multitude stand forth to-day and bear glad wit ness that they have proven the idea
 true. that when it bids us trust Goo entirely, as the one Who forgveth all thine iniquities and who healeth al
 thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mer- cies; who satisfieth thy mouth witF good things; so that thy youth is re- newed like the eagles; in all this 1t is not bidding us go too far,
 Tn following this line of light, the Christian Scientist has acknowledged that; 'As adherents of truth, we take the inspired word of the Bible as oul sufficient guide to eternal life (Scienct and Health, page 497) Hand in hand with the Bible-not as supplementing its message, not as adding to or talk ing aught therefrom, but as interpret l ing it's meaning-is the textbook oi l Christian Science, science and health, with key to the Scriptures, whose au- } thor is the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy.

COMPLAINT AGAINST
OLD DOMINION LINE
Travellers Dissatisfied Because Steam.
ers Do Not Touch at Old
Point.

Many complaints against the Old
Dominion Steamship Company are to
be heard because the steamers of that
line do not touch at Old Point when
they enter Hampton Roads from New
York. Recently the company adopted
the policy of having its liners go d.
rectly to Norfolk and come from Nor
folk over here. 4
Passengers who board the vessels
in New York after purchasing tickets
To Newport News or Old Point are
forced to go on to Norfolk. arriving
there too late to catch the Old Do
minion Richmond boats or the Ches.
apeake G. Ohio steamer Virginia, anu
having to reach this city by way of
Ivy avenue.
This policy will do Newport News
and Old Point great injury If cont.n.
ued during the jamestown Exposition
period. and It is probable that the
matter will be taken up by the Cham
her of Commerce at its next meet
ing with the view of protesting to
the company.

A boy whose identity could not be
learned, called the Central fire com

7:iS O'Clock last night. At that hour
n telephone message was received ut
the Central fire station, stating that
building on Twenty.third street be-

was ablaze.
Headed by Fire Chief w. X. Stow.
the Central company FASTENED to the
scene OF the supposed fire, but resi-.
dents there told the chief that there
had been no blaze in that neighbor-
hood. Thinking that possibly the
boy who telephoned the fire into the
department had meant Thirty-third
street instead of Twenty-third street,
Chief Stow ordered the company to
that street.
Followed by hundreds of excited
people the chiefs buggy, combination
wagon and fire engine raced UP
Washington avenue at break neck
speed, but when the company reached
Thirty-third street 1T was found that
there had been no fire there.
The company then returned to the

have a rate of about 1 1.2 cents; for
the poorer man. who will go down to

WEST SIOERS INDIGNANT
In a Red Hot Letter Citizens Declare
They Have Been Cheated Out of
Their Rights by City Council.

Residents of the west side whose
property and health have been dam
aged or affected by the filthy condi-
tons that prevail in the sections of
the city in which City creek has over
flowed are becoming more and more
angry as the days go by and condi-
tions do not improve.
Yesterday a citizen who subscribes
himself zone of the Sufferers sent a
letter to The Herald, in which he de-
clares money appropriated for !he i'm
provementS on the west side of the
city has gone astray and takes a num-
Der of the city fathers to task for
their alleged neglect of the west side.
The letter is as follows:
4. the undersigned, would be pleased
if the people on the east side of Main
street would go for a drive or a street
car ride to the west side of the city
to see the destruction, filth and condi-
ton of not only City creek by its over
flow of water and its seepage, but the
sufferings of the people and the neon
veniences they are placed under in the
second and third precincts. This is
caused first, by incompetent city en-
gineers: second. lack of experience, and
third, the niggard way in which appro-
priations are made for improvements
which are necessary for the west and
northwestern parts of our city. At
present 1 wish TO write more particu-
larly on the overflow of City creek. In
the first place, We have had no high
water this year; in fact, we have not
had anything above the usual amount
that we have any other year, but the
conditions are different
"City creek fiume was built sixteen
years ago and ii has answered its pur-
pose fairly well up to the present time
The cause of the overflow of water
results from the laterais or irrigation
bitches running out from City creek
I'm the canyon being closed Cp. AS the
timbers rotted away the fiume has been
patched up at different times, but al
ways on the inside and not on the
outside. In many places there have
been timbers nailed on the inside of
the flume to hold the planks in line
as well as across the top and bottom to
hold IL in place. In other places there
has been tfmbers nailed on each side
of the fiume as wei as timbers placed
on the bottom to keep it from caving
in, thus making it a foot narrower, a
foot shallOwer, and I understand that
