the macintosh purchased from the
Davenport merchant. When arrest
ed he gave his name as Charles
Clark, but his wife, who was seen
with reference TO the matter subse-
quent to his arrest, stated that his
true name was r. II. Parks. When
told of his forging operations she
was surprised, and stated that she
had known nothing about them. but
had been under the impression that
he was a railroad man, and that II
was by reason Of his duties pertain
ing to this work that he was absent
from home SO much.
Three checks were passed on the
First National bank of this city by
Parks. Two of them came from
Wallace and the other from Sprague.
Wash. The work OF Parks was
clever and was calculated to alIay
suspicion as to the genuineness of
the paper presented. His method
was to take a blank check on some
banking institution and I'LL II out in
favor of some fictitious person. Then
he would mark by the use of stamp
across the face OF the check the word
certified" the name OF the banking
institution, and in writing All I'm the
name Of the cashier. BY reason Of
the fact that II purported to bear the
stamp OF certihcation by a banking
institution, the paper was generally
accepted as good and genuine. and he
experienced no trouble in procuring
a cash payment upon 1t when pre-
sented in payment for goods ut
store.

OCEAN RATES
OUT OF REACH

water line there is an arrangement
for continuous carriages. then such
water line becomes subject to all the
provisions mandatory and prohibitory
of the act to regulate commerce.
"On foreign commerce to a nom
adjacent country the jurisdiction of
the commission over the carriers
therein engaged ends at the sea-
board"
In conclusion, the opinion says:
This ruling is the only one which
is consistent with what seems to be
the policy of the law, viz: That
while restrictions and control are es-
sential as to the inland carriers of
foreign commerce, the ocean carriers
of such commerce should remain un-
restricted and free. There is not to-
day and never has been such a thing
as stability of rates upon the water.
Perhaps it is not desirable that there
should be. The ocean is a highway
free to all. No franchise is needed
to sail the seas, nor is the establish
ment of line of ships founded,
either in law or economics, upon the
theory of public serving monopoly
which underlies the relation of the
railroad to the state. 1t may well be,
therefore, that without regulation,
and by reason of natural competitive
conditions, the public will be best
served, and in the end treated more
equitably, by leaving the water car
riers to foreign lands entirely unham-
pered by legal restrictions such as
the people of this and other lands
have found it necessary to impose
upon the railroads"

number of fraudulent checks, pur-
porting to be certified by the First

certified by the Bank of Montreal, and
was presented to the merchant in

check called for SEQ, and after the
purchase price of the goods, a mack
intosh, was deducted from 1t, the
balance was given by the merchant
in cash to Parks The check was

forgery. Detectives were called into
the case and. acting upon a descrip-
ton given OF the forger. he was iden-

one of the trains that had come into
the city from Medical Lake. He was
then followed to his lodgings at the

Protestant Ministers to Give New
Cult Test.
NEW YORK, Mar. 23.--"Christ-
ian psychology" the very latest de-
velopment of Boston intellect and
culture, has arrived in New York.
Beginning today, tests of the power
of the new cult to overcome nervous
ailments will be given daily for a
week by two learned doctors of d.
vinity from Boston, who have fol-
lowed in the footsteps of Bishop
Fallows, of Chicago, in taking up a
revised and orthodox Christian Sci
ence. Christ Episcopal church, one
of the most fashionable in the city,
of which the Rev. George Alexander
Strong is rector, is the place of dem
onstration. No payment of any kind
will be received from patients.
The meetings are to be held at
noon on weekdays, and there may be
an additional meeting IL the devel-
opments demand. The two speakers
or demonstrators" are the Rev.
DR.. Elwood Worcester and the Rev.
DR.. Samuel Malcomb, the last named
at one time a Presbyterian preacher
of this city.
A year ago the rector of Emman-
uel Episcopal church, Boston. began
the treatment of functional nervous
disorders. He got the suggestion
from DR.. s. Weir Mitchell. who want
ed a test of the application of the
best religious methods and the best
scientific methods made on one per-
son at the same time. The differ
ence between the Emmanuel plan
and Christian Science is that the
former plan does not reject medical
skill. nor does 1t deny the existence
OF disease. The Rev. DR.. Worcester
accepts all that medical skill has to
offer, and offers religious effort to
go with It.
II is held that the American cli-
mate and the American habits of life
are responsible for an increasing
number of cases such as can be sue
cessfully treated by this method.
Bishop Fallows, who recently an
nOunced conversion 20 the plan and
opened a practitioners room. is ov-
errun with patients. Emmanuel
demonstrators take no pay whatever
for treatment.
The Rev Mr.. Strong said: Christ
Church is not committing itself to
this new movement. Neither am /
condemning II by saying that Christ
church is not to take it up. II they
have anything that is good. we want
il. II 1t can increase the influence
and the teaching Of Jesus Christ. We

without friends, and they iourneyed
about among strangers. depending
upon charity to provide them with
meals and shelter through the enight.
The Catholic ladies attention was
called to the case and a petition cir
culated for the purpose OF securing
funds to convey the old couple to
their home. They succeeded in rails
ing $7S. 1t required $s2.5O to cover
all the expenses incident to the trip
and railroad fare. and the balance
necessary to make up this amount
was contributed by the board Of
county commissioners.

feeble, the husband being SO and
the wife 70 years old. They were
both deeply affected when they
learned Of the generous response Of
the citizens of the city to their APP
peal for assistance, and stated that
they felt grateful and desired to
thank each and all who contributed
to the fund.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-William
8. Rossiter, appointed as acting public
printer in place of Public Printer Still
ings, went to the treasury department
yesterday to have his bond approved.
The department refused to consider
the matter, on the ground that the
president had exceeded his authority
in appointing Rossiter; that under the
law the associate public printer, Capt.
H. T. Brain, succeeds to the vacancy.
Under this informal ruling Rossiter
later in the day stepped aside and his
place was taken by Capt. Brain, who
will administer the government print
ing office as acting public printer for
the time being.
Rossiter, however, does not relin-
Quish the work of inquiry laid out for
him by the president. His position In
the government printing office be-
comes that df the presidents personal
representative, and he is proceeding
with the investigation.

STATE GETS $4,000
FOR RIGHT OF WAY

Olympia, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway has
agreed to pay the state about $4,000
just because the state highway board
beat the railroad engineers in locat-
ing right-of-way lying between the
summit of the Cascades and Lake
Keechelus
At an expense of about $500 the
state made surveys and secured by
filing plats, etc., a right-of-way over
various vacant government land for a
portion of the Snoqualmie pass state
road.
Later, when the railroad engineers
appeared, they discovered the state
had the most available route, one the
road wanted for its line. Negotiations
between the railroad and the state
highway commission have been pend
ing for months and a settlement has
just been reached. The state surren-
ders part of the rightof-way and the
railroad has made new survey for
the state, will pay 1875 to help build
the new road and the salary of the
states supervising engineer who se-
lected the states new route, bringing
the total to approximately $4,000.
