more loyal to the latter than those in
power In the cult. She recently de-
clared that she believed Mrs. Eddy to
have been dead for about year, and
she charged that the body Of the
founder of Christian Science had been

Mrs. Gilbert was one of the most
prominent of the Christian Science
leaders in New York for some years

with the failure Of this project that
the allegations were made which be-

A Gladstone Bull.

Mr.. Gladstone was once guilty Of an
amusing bull in a debate on the ques-
ton of disestablishment Dilating on
the hold held on the affection of the
people by the Church of England, he
said: When an Englishman wants
to get married, to whom does he go?
To the parish priest. When he wants
his child baptized, to whom does he
so? To the parish priest. When he
wants to get buried, to whom does he
go?' The house answered with roar
OF laughter, in which Mr.. Gladstone
himself joined, adding: "As l was
contrasting the English church with
the Irish, bull is perhaps excusable. /"

RAILROAD news.
Santa Fe Freight Receipts in
Ottawa Show Big Increase.
Business Larger by Ten to
Twenty Thousand a Month.
THE GAIN is UNIFORM.
Larger Volume Is Handled by a
Smaller Force of Men.
Other Items OF Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Ottawa, Kan, Feb. 2O.-The Santa
Fe Railroad company is doing more
business at its freight office here than
it did the preceding year by an in
crease which runs from $4,000 to
$40, 900 a month. This increase is not
spasmodic, but has been the usual
thing for six months and more past.
It should not be thought from this
that the business of the preceding z
year was lighter than usual On the
contrary, this community suffered less
than any other part of the state by
the financial depression, and the in
crease of business this year is a nor
NAL increase, and does not come from
abnormal conditions.
What is more to the railroad COM
pany's good is the fact that this in
creased business is being handled by
a smaller force than was working
when the panic came, so that the
profits are larger even than the in
crease in the volume of business.
The increase comes principally
from the new industries which began
operation within the past six months.

Mr. Foster Of Vermont, speaking on

Mr. Davis made this suggestion and
the speaker, standing in front of the

Blaine had refrained from naming a
member who was out of order because
such action would be resented by the
member himself and others.
The only case Mr. Cannon recalled
was in Speaker Crisp's time when the
