CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LAWFUL.
No Crime to Practice on Sick in State
of Missouri.

WARRENSBURG,- Mo, December ID
There is no law in Missouri proh1Dltlng
the practice of healing by members OF the
Christian Science Church.
This decision was handed down here to-
day by Judge Berry Thurmond III the
circuit court. The case was brought to
test the law.
Mrs Lena A. Jaccard and Theresa NJ.
Haywood, prominent Christian Science
practitioners of Kansas City, were the de-
PENDANTS Information had been filed
against them by Ewing COckrell prose-
cutting attorney of this county, son OF
Francis NJ. Cockrell OF the interstate COM
merce commission.
The defendants were charged with V1o-
lating the laws that make it an offenSe
to practice medicine or surgery, or in any
other way to treat the sick for pay UNI
less the practitioner has medicine
license. The defendants treated Mrs.
Surelda Wyrick of Knobnoster through
the medium of Christian Science. and for
their services they received S54.
In an argument lasting fifteen hours the
scientists attorneys attacked the cOnStl-
tutionality of the law.
Judge Thurmond held that the Mis-
souri, statutes for the regulation of prac-
tice of medicine did not apply to healing
as performed by Christian Scientists. and
that the laws of the state do not either
prohibit or regulate in any way the Chris
tan Science practice of healing.

Passing Of the Claque.

FROM lne flCtSDuS GdZeIle.
Announcement that the new managers
Of the Paris opera have decided to sup
press the claque. or company OF paid
applauders. will evoke little surprise.
The wonder is that this ridiculous insti-
tuition was permitted to flourish so long.
It is true that in our own country. as
we'll as in England, the theater-goinE,
public has had its suspicious occasion
ally aroused concerning manufactured
applause, especially at first perfofus
ances. For this. no doubt, the over
enthusiastic personal friends of the &C
tors have been to blame I'm great meas
ure. and it Is possible that ushers and
other employees Of the theater some
times '1end a hand" toward the encour-
agenent Of those on the stage. But
this is very different from the unblush
ing effrOntery Of the professional ap-
plauders, who sit in the gallery OF the
Paris theater and earn their pay IN plain
view Of the audience.
It is odd that this institution should
ever have gained such a hold on de-
monstrative people like the French ana
Italians, who are never wanting in ex
pressions Of appreciation for public per-
formers that take their fancy. If the
claque is needed anywhere to show an
audience how to applaud. 1T Is in this
country. Until recently Pittsburg audi
enceS nave mad the reputation OF DelnE
undemonstrative. chilly and even friGid
to performers who, elsewhere. have been
greeted with enthusiasm. and 1t cannot
be said that such repression of feeling
is mark of superior culture. Applause,
to mean anything, must be spontaneous.
but there is virtue i'm Withholding it
for the purpose of preserving an APP
pearance of dignitied reserve. The actor
has a right to these expressions OF APP
prevail. and just to the extent that they
are sincere are they of practical service
to him as he advances in his profession.
The abolition OF the claque is a good
thing The less made-to order applause
the better. but little more of the gen.
uine, discriminating variety would do
no harm in our places of amusement.

Acetylene Shells for German Navy.


Experiments are now being carried out
on German warships with acetylene shells.
which ii is believed will take the place
of the electric searchlight used hitherto
by warships. These shells contain cal
cium-carbide. and the water can reach IL
through a tube. The shells are fired by
a gun built specially for the purpose.
On being fired the shell goes under water
and then rises to the surface. and the
action of the water upon the calcium
carbide produces the acetylene light.
Each shell is said to have 5000 candle
power and will burn for three hours.
The great drawback of the ordinary
searchlight is that. although II affords
some protection from the unobserved APP
proach of torpedo boats, it yet makes the
warshp using it an excellent target.
The new acetylene shell referred 10 will
have the great advantage of lighting up
a given space, while the vessel that fires
il will be left in darkness.

Recent Distribution Of Funds.

Washington-Senator Stone of Mis-

show that the distribution OF money
during the recent currency stringency
was not equitable" as contemplated
by the law governing the treasury de-
partment. He declared that the west
and south were Disseminated against,
while New York and Boston were IA
vored. His speech was on his reso'
luton pending in the senate directing
a committee to investigate and re-
port the facts in these transactions.
Senator Teller followed with brief
comment upon the action of the secre-
tary of the treasury, declaring that
the placing of money in New York
City during the panic vas fully justi-
fed. He paid high tribute to the
rich men who, he said, had promptly
offered practically their entire capital
in order to stem the tide OF disaster
in that city, which threatened the en-
