carr" said the conductor, who had list
ened attentively. Gould you point him
out?"
YES"
II am glad of it. 1 have received
warning by telegraph that one Of the New
York swell-mob is on the train, probably
intent on mischief, but no description
came with 1t, and had no clew to the
person. have no doubt that the man
you speak of is the party. If so, he is
1amiliarly known as Slippery Dick''
DO you think you can get back my
money" asked Walter, anxiously.
Il think there is a chance of it. Come
with me and point out your man."
Walter gladly accompanied the conduc-
tor to the smoking car. His old acouaint-
ance was busily engaged as before in A
game, and laughing heartily at some IA
vorable turn.
There he is" said Walter, indicating
him with his finger.
The conductor walked up to him and
tapped him on the shoulder.
What's wantedT' he asked looking up.
You've looked at my ticket"
1 wish to speak to you a moment"
He rose without making any opposi.
ton, and walked to the other end of the
ear.
"Well,' he said, and there wcs a slight
nervousness in his tone, whats the mat
ter? Wasn't my ticket all right?"
No trouble about that. The thing is,
will you restore this boys pocketbook 7"
Sir" said the pickpocket, clustering.
do you mean to insult me? What nave
/ to do with his pocketbook?"
You sat beside him, and he missed 1t
directly after you left him."
What is that to me? You may search
me if you life. You will find only one
pocketbook upon me, and that is my
own"
Il am aware of that" saidtthe conduc-
tor, coolly. II saw you take the money
out and throw it from the car platform"
The pickpocket turned pale.
You are mistaken in the person." he
said.
mo, l am not. l advise you to re-
store the money forthwith"
u llltl,
self cornered, took from his pocket a roll
of bills, which he handed to Walter.
us that right?" asked the conductor.
"Yes," said our hero, after counting
his money.
$50 far, so good. And now, Slippery
Dick" he continued, turning to the thief.
Il advise you to leave the cars at the next
station or will have you arrested. Take
your choice"
The detected rogue was not long in
making his choice. Already the cars had
slackened their speed, and a short dis
tance ahead appeared a small station. The
place seemed to be of very little impor-
tance. One man, however, appeared to
have business there. Walter saw hiS
quondam acquaintance jump on the plat
form, and congratulated himself that his
only loss was a pocketbook whose value
did not exceed one dollar.
The conductor on seeing the pocketbook
thrown away had thought nothing of il,
supposing it to be an old one, but as soon
as he heard of the robb@y suspected at
once the thief and his motive.

NEW CURATIVE AGENCIES.
FROM REV SAMUEL MCCOMB'S CHRISTIANITY AND HEALTH IN THE MARCH CENTURY.

The present dislike of drugs and med icines has, of course, grown fanatic al nevertheless, there is truth behind it which can no longer be ignored. And if medical science is to regain the es- teem of the world, it must fairly and sduarely take the ground that for the great majority of the ailments that afflict American humanity the contents of the pharmacopoeia are of very limit ed efficacy that for these the directly curative agencies must be moral and psychical. Indeed, it is to this position that the most advanced medico-psycbol- ogical experts are now coming.

THE REAL MRS EDDY.Z

Stranded on desert island without
 any knowledge of the Christian Science
 cult, one could still hardly fail to be
 interested in the Life of Mrs Eddy,
 running through McClure's. It is the
 unveiling of an extraordinary person.
 ality. The March number describes
 '"rhe Adoption of Son and the Found
 ing of the Mother Church." Mrs
 Eddy's only son, George Glover, visited
 his mother, but says Miss Milmine,
 "Mr Gover's prolonged stay in Chelsea
 seems not to have brought him and his
 mother any closer together, for, almost immediately after his return to the West, Mrs Eddy adopted a son who was presumably more to her liking. Eben-
 ezer Johnson Foster was a man of
 forty -one when Mrs Eddy adopted him,
 and she herself was then in her sixty
 eight year. Dr Foster was a homeo-
 pathic physician who had been practis-
 ing his profession at Waterbury Center,
 a little mountain town in Vermont"
 The new son served his adopted mother
 with unquestioning obedience, and she bestowed on him a fur coat and a dia- mond finger ring, and sent him to the Boston School of Oratory that he might creditably represent her in public. The course of maternal love, however, was at times far from smooth, and, like other members of Mrs Eddy's house. hold, Dr Foster Eddy had occasional bad days. The founding of the Mother Church, the peculiar juggling by which Mrs Eddy acquired the property and the methods by which she established her autocratic sway are absorbingly 1 interesting. In this interesting life of the founder of Christian Science, the people who so quickly come and go seem to contribute little but a effect of Mrs Eddy's char acter. "Mrs Eddy took great comfort in Dr Fosters presence in the house and began to feel that from him she might hope for the unquestioning obedi- ence and perpetual adoration she was always seeking. She loved to amaze and astonish; when her students ceased to wonder" she was usually through with them. Each of her favorites gave her, as it were, a new lease of life; with each one her interest in every thing quickened. The great outside audience meant very little as compared with the pliant neophyte beside her ,halr or across the table from her. It vas when Mrs Eddy was weaving her pell about new favorite that she was 1t her best, and it was then that she most believed in herself. But she ould never stop with enchanting, merely. She must altogether absorb he new candidate; he must have lothing left in him which was not from Ter. If she came upon one lnsoluble tom hidden away anywhere in the narrow of his bones, she experienced
 revulsion and flung him contempt ously aside. {"

NEW YORK, April 27.-Persons who
scanned the heavens from points about
the Atlantic Highlands Saturday night
saw an American flag apparently sus-
tanned by miraculous means, upon
which the great white ray from the
Atlantic Highlands lighthouse flashed
at every swing. This was a concession
to the picturesque made by D. G..
Braine and A. C. Triaca of this city,
who were making the first tests in this
country of the Paragraph, a new IN
strument to measure the attitudes at

With string of fourteen box and
Eddy kites the investigators sent their
Paragraph alOft in the afternoon. A
fair breeze was blowing, and held by a
strong windlass, the steel wire was
played out freely. The kites were
brought down by rain late in the even
ing and were shown by the Paragraph
to have attained an altitude of two
miles. Another trial was made yester-
day afternoon, and although a light
wind was blowing, 2500 feet was reacn-
ed. On this occasion a large box kite,
an Eddy kite and French kite made Oy
Mr.. Braine were flown.

.STORMED At WITH
FLORAL MISSILES
Pretty Girls of Santa Barbara Act
AS Powder Monkeys" In
Battle of Flowers.
GAILY DECORATED EQUIPAGEs.
Floral Parade One of Finest Things
the Naval Men Had Met
Anywhere.

SANTA BARBARA, April 27.-SanJa
Barbaras flower festival in honor of
the Atlantic fleet of battleships began
today with a floral parade and battle
of flowers on the ocean boulevard and
Plaza del Mar. The pretty spectacle
was in full view of the sixteen ships
anchored in the roadstead.
Gaily decorated equipages, laden
with thousands of blossoms, magnifi-
cent floats, artistically designed, auto
mobiles hidden in mass of rare
blooms, costumed hOrsemen and
marching bodies and a reduced brigade
of sailors, landed from the war vessels
in immaculate white uniforms, passed
in review at the plaza before the ad-
mirals and commanding officers of the
fleet grouped in tribunes near the
judges stand.
The ocean side of the boulevard was
left open, but on the land side long
tribunes, or grandstands, were erected
for the accommodation of thousands OF
visitors in the city. The floral parade
was without doubt one of the prettiest
features of the various entertainments
for the officers and men of the fleet
since their departure from the east
coast of the United States.
After all of the equipages had passed
in review and encircled the boulevard
the signal to countermarch was given
and then the battle of flowers began.
g h.
riages were bombarded with a perfect
hail of bouquets from the grandstands
and gave the enemy in the forts a
lively fusillade in return.
The officers, gathered in spectacular
array in one of the largest of the tri-
Dunes, delivered the heaviest fire from
the shore batteries. Great quantities
of ammunition were placed at their dis
posal and a score of pretty girls served
in the capacity of powder monkeys"
bringing new supplies of bouquets
whenever required. The battle took
place amidst continual cheering and
applause.
Twelve hundred bluejackets were
landed from the sixteen ships in the
harbor and marched at the head of the
floral parade. They were met by a
committee upon landing, and bouquets
were placed in the muzzles OF their
small calibre rifles. The sailormen re-
ceived as much applause along the line
| of march as did the SNOWY flower
vehicles that followed.
Rear-Admirals Thomas, Sperry and
Emory were driven from the landing
wharf at the foot of State street to the
reviewing tribune in a coach decorated
with thousands of white roses and
drawn by four white horses. Six out
riders in Spanish costume and mounted
on white horses preceded the coach
which, after depositing the officers OF
honor at the plaza, returned to the city
and became the equipage of the Queen
of the Festival, Miss Ynez Dibblee, and
members of her court.
There will be a ball in honor of the
officers tonight and outdoor dancing
for the enlisted men with gay illumin-
atoms throughout the city.

JUSTIFYING STOESSEL.
Kondratchenko Urged Peace Before
Fall of Fortress.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 2e.-The taking Of testi-
mony by the court martial which is trying
Lieutenant General Stoessel for the surrender OF
Port Arthur came to end to-day and the
court adjourned until February 4, when the
closing arguments Of the judge advocate and
counsel for General Stoessel and the other de-
PENDANTS will be heard.
General Stoessel introduced to-day letter
from General Kondratchenbo, dated October l.
1904. in wllicE the writer said he recognized the
necessity Of surrender and asked General Stoes-
sci to prepare the Emperor for this and advise
him to make peace with Japan while the fortress
was still in Russian hands. General Stoessei
made address to the court. in which he said
he could not follow the advice given by Cen
eral Kondratchenho because the communications
passed through too many hands, and therefore
he defended the fortress long as it existed
After saying he regarded the war as lost Gen
eral Kondratchenko said in his letter to General
Stoessel:
The only honorable exit to the situation is to
open Immediately before the fall OF the fortress,
negotiations for peace. Peace then Will be OBJ
taina BILE under conditions not humiliating to the
national dignity II is highly possible that the
full truth is being withheld from the Emperor.
A report giving the exact situation might avert
great misfortunes to the country, and there
fore appeal to you. in virtue of the confidence
which the Emperor places in you to report to
his majesty the real situation in the Far East
