OYSTERS BY THE BILLION,

"The time is surely coming when we
will rely mere on artificial production
and culture of oysters than iD obtaining
them from natural sources" said Prof.
L. K. Howren, Of New Orleans, at the
Eutsw House in Baltimore recently.
"Oysters can be produced By the mil
lions more easily than sDy other sort OF
food product known to mankind, and,
thanks to late scientific work, the process
is simple and readily available. 1t is
only a question of assisting nsture BY
manipulation of the spswu. The tiny
eggs Of the female are put in sea water
Of the right temperature, mixed with the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
FRANK BtCKNELL YOUNG LEC-
 TUREs TO GOOD AUDIENCE.
One of the Best Known Speakers an Christian Seience-He Was Introduced by L.. l..
 Gilbert.

l A notable event to the Christian Sci- entists and to many others. was the lecture on Christian Science last even ing by Frank Ricknell Young, well known lecturer of that faith. The discourse was delivered at The Grand, and was well attended.
 Mir. Young was presented by l.. L.. Gilbert Mfr. Gilbert spoke briefly on the subject of the evening. and de- clared that. though not an adherent of Christian Science, yet he had great sympathy and admiration for Christian Scientists. Tn concluding he said: And now I have the pleasure, priv iIege and honor of introducing one of fifteen chosen messengers of Christian Science--one whose reputation as an orator Is matched only by his charac- ter as a man."
 Mir. Young began by analyzlng the prejudice existing against Christian Science, emphasizing the point that 1t is not the teachings of his faith but the popular erroneous conception of these teachings that gives rise to this prejudice.
 Passing then to the main points of the lecture, he proclaimed that Chris tian Science teaches that sciepce Is truth and that truth is science. He laid stress on the fact that the truth of the Gospel proves indisputably the scientific value of the Gospel.
 Christ" he declared. twas the most practical man who ever lived. and the most truthful Christian Science does not conflict with the teachings of Christ, 1t even explains and simplifes them."
 Proceeding a step further he pro- claimed that God is mind, and con- yersely that mind is God. God Is in an good and thus all good exempIifies God. Inasmuch as God is mind and mind God, mind is a Divine principle, not a material object. Evil is not a God ordained institution, he said, and is not Implanted in the mind, coexist- ent with God Evil can be overcome through prayer. which changes. not God, but mankind. There is no other power than God.
 Belief in the power of drugs consti tutes idolatry, and cannot be conceived as q part of religion, Mfr. Young arr gued. In sickness as in sinfulness. God is the medium through which the re- habitation of mankind should come. Deliverance can be secured by clinging unswervingly to the Divine and scien. tific fact in relation to God and His laws in the face of sin, sickness and death.
 The mission of Christian Science. Mir. Young said. is to restore normal con ditions of mind and body. Christian Science exerts It's power through the influence of high and noble thoughts, which reflect the purity of the mind in the health of the human body.
 The speaker paid an eloquent tribute to Mrs Eddy whom he denominated "one of the greatest benefactors of the human race."
 "Mrs. Eddy" he said, "is. among the women of the world. figure unique in history.
 The entire lecture was entertaining, and the forceful and magnificent de- livery of MT. Young engrossed the att tention of his audience from beginning to end.
 A good sized audience heard the lecture.

REINSTATE PLAYERS
BASEBALL MAGNATEs SETTLE
 "BLACK LIST. QUESTION.
Presideaf PulIiam stood Up For The Rights of Players And won
 Oat in Executive Commit- tee Meeting.

New York, Feb, 25--Baseball men. club owners, managers and players, as we'll as the followers Of the game throughout the United States and Canada, are interest in the several meetings of the representatives of the American and National Leagues, which began here today and will continue until the end of the week.
 For some weeks. there have been various reports as to the action of the national association. which comprises all the minor league clubs In adopting whal was called ''black list" debarring certain players who failed to live up to their contracts from playing with any club which Is party to the na- tional agreement.
 President Felliam said few weeks ago that he would resign hls office as president of the National League and quit baseball altogether, if such a reso- lution was allowed to stand and inter fere' with the rights of players. The matter was amicably arranged so far as the members of the National Com mission are concerned. at special meeting held today.
 This session, the only one held today. was executive and confined to the members of the National Commission which is composed of Augustus Herr mann of Cineinnati; President Ban Johnson. of the American League and President Pulliam of the National League.
 The "black list" was the sole topic discussed. and President Johnson clear ed away the threatening storm by pro- posing a resolution which was adopted. showing that the National Commission under the provisions of the National Agreement, still has the right to rein state q player who has or may be de- clared ineligible by any league or club operating under the national agreo- ment.
 Following is President Johnson's resolution:
 Whereas. tho attention of the Ma tional Commission has been called to a certain resolution passed at the .lasf meeting of the National Association pertaining to Ineligible players, and.
 Whereas, there seems to be a mis- understanding as to the meaning ana effect of said resolution; therefore be it
 Resolved. that 1t is the sense of the National Commission that said reso- luton cannot at any time be construed by anyone operating under the pre- visions of the national agreement as in any. manner to infringe upon or interfere with the rights vested tn the National Commission under article VIII, section 5. to reinstate any na- tional agreement player who has here tofore or may hereafter be declared an ineligible player"
 As soon as this was adopted. the ses- sion was adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morning
