Religious TheraDeutics.

Bishop Fallows of the st. Paul's Re
formed Episcopal church at Chicago
writes of the movement started by the
rectors of Emmanuel church, Boston, over
year ago, and since taken up at ST.
PauPs, having for its object the healing
of the body through the soul. in the cur
rent number of the World To-day. He
points out how this attempt to combine
the work of the minister and physician
is only a return to the usage of more
primitive times. as the Greek, Latin and
Anglican churches recognized the healing
power of the ministry. Bishop Fallows
now declares that the overwhelming re-
Spouse from the people of his church
justifes the feeling that such work was
greatly needed. He believes that the sue
cess of Christian Science is due to the
neglect of the truth of Christian thera-
peutics on the part of the Protestant
churches. But unlike Christian Science,
this church movement recognizes the
value of medical science, only holding
that there is a difference between func-
tional and organic diseases. although
mind may have originated both classes of
diseases. They believe that the best sci
entific knowledge SIS as much God given
as any psychical or spiritual method of
relieving disease" The aim is to bring
health and happiness 20 the afflicted and
more efficiency to those who are well.

National Labor Leaders Meet.

About 200 men, representing III ma

sembled at the Washington headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor,
having been called to an extraordinary
session for the purpose of considering the
recent decisions of the courts against the

now conducted" During the first day s
proceedings it was decided to formulate
a bill of labor's grievances similar to the
one presented to the President and lead
ers in Congress in 1906. In his address
President Gompers said the time had
come for labor to do something more mill

ment for them to get the Sherman law
amended so as to exempt unions from its
provisions. The prospect of help from

by c. Bennett of Kentucky. who repre-
scented that organization. He said the
farmers had come to the conclusion that
the time had arrived for them to coop

Fond du Lac was visited by the most

to the stock and building will reach over
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance. The
origin of the fire is mystery, but it is
believed that it started in the cotton store
room in the basement, near the furnace.
1t spread rapidly and the entire building
was soon enveloped in flames. Thousands
of people crowded Main street to witness
the blaze and the narrow escapes from
death by women clerks and fremen. Miss
MESSY was penned in at the rear of the
second floor. Efforts to get her down the
stairway were futile. as the smoke was
pouring from the first floor. She finally
jumped from the window to the ground,
breaking her leg. Eight other clerks
stood on the window lodges until they
were brought down by iremen.

British Torpedo Boat Tiger Is Cut

CRASH COMES IN DARKNESS.

Thirty-six men, including Lieutenant

Thursday night between that vessel and
the British cruiser Berwick.
The vessels belong to the Portsmouth
division of the British home fleet. and
were engaged in night maneuvers in

wick was steaming slowly. When the
destroyer attempted to cross the cruis-

cut in two as with Il knife, sinking al

The deck crew, who were dressed IL
heavy oilskins and boots, went down
with the vessel, not having time to free
themselves from their heavy incuni

were rescued the majority are engl-
neers and Stokers, Who having light
clothing, were able to keep themselves

The smaller naval vessels were in the

and in the absolute darkness the Tiger
was suddenly struck squarely amid
ships by the Berwick. The sharp stem
of this vessel cut the destroyer in two
as if she had been made of paper The
forward half sank instantaneously and
the sea became dotted with struggling
men. Most of them sank before help
could reach them.
The war ships in the immediate vi
cinity soon had their boats overheard
and the scene of the tragedy was bril-
liantly Illuminated by a concentration
of searchlights. The after part of the
Tiger foated for minute or two, just
long enough to enable those on board
to seize life belts. They threw them
selves into the water and were able to
keep afloat until picked up
Lieutenant William E. Middleton was

AgOmans Hear of Great Resources
of Northern Section.
The rich and varied agricultural re-
sources of northern Wisconsin were
graphically portrayed in stereopticon
lecture in Algoma by d. w. Maloney, sec
rotary of the North Wisconsin Develop
ment Association. The object of the as
ISOLATION is TO convey to people in the
thickly populated sections information of
conditions in the northern part of the
State. The speaker emphasized the adj
vantage in location which north Wiscon-
sin enjoys over the prairie regions, the
only other large areas of cheap land. The
Canadian farmer must ship his grain
thousands of miles, bearing the burden
OF freight charges, while the prices of
goods he buys are enhanced by long dis
lance freight rates. Moreover he is at
the mercy of single railway system.
North Wisconsin, on the other hand, is at
the very doors OF the great markets, the
manufacturing and shipping centers, and
is gridironed with competing lines of rail-
roads
