BANK OF GERMANY.
General Condition of Imperial lnstitu
 tion Is Good.

Berlin, November S-The German Im- perial bank return. while some worse this week than that of the corresponding week in 1908. is considerably better than the market expected. rumors having been cir eulated indicating an unusual weakening in the status of the return. It enabled the bank to continue without changing it's discount rate. The rumors circulated In London and New York on Saturday foreshadowing an advance In the Imperial banks discount rate today did not ema- nate from Berlin. The feeling among bankers here is that the Imperial bank will retain its present rate until Lon don adopts higher one, or the German situation grows much worse than at the present time. It is known that the man agers of the bank intend not to change the rate unless absolutely compelled to. Ser lin flnanciers are more concerned regard ing the Lombard street developments than by the home situation.

MENTAL MALPRACTICE
-is Being Fought Out In Christian
 Science Circles.

New York. November s.-Eugene R. in this city, issued statement tonight in which he declared it was not Virgil o. Strioller, first reader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in New York. who inaugurated the charges of mental mal- practice. which resulted in the deposing of Mrs. Augusta H Stetson as head of that church. It was group of Mrs. Stetson's own students. he says, who cir- culated the reports against her and later a few of them came forward with specific charges to the board of directors and the mother church in Boston. Later the board of directors called Mrs. Strickler as witness in the case.
 While the mental practice described by Mrs. Stetson in this mornings paper is now the practice of Christian Science" continued MT. Cox, lit is to be observed that there is wide difference between her practice as described by herself and as described by her students. Even her most partisan students admitted at the recent inquiry in Boston that she was in the habit of making mental and audible attacks on persons in the nature of im- precautions and curses.
 'The distinction which she attempts to mako in favor of mental practice, which she claims is legitimate, as self-defense, is unknown to Christian Science. A Chris tian Scientist defends himself from all forms of evil by keeping his own con- science free from 1t and not by hurling thoughts at a supposed enemy

in opera or continue in concert work" I asked
 That is a puzzling question:" laughing ly replied MT. Stults "As a matter of fact I rather prefer oratorio work, and there is such wonderful opening for good basso in that line since the two, Mir. Frederick Martin and MT. Herbert Witherspoon. practically have the field to themselves"
 And now that Mir. Witherspoon Is with the Metropolitan this season, really 1t leaves only MT. Martin" I suggested.
 Tt is very probable that MT. Wither- spoons engagement will cover only a couple of years, since he Is so popular as an oratorio singer" said MT. Stults. Do you know that there are the fewest opera roles written for bassos? In the Magio Flute and Parsifal, both of which when I heard these operas in Chicago, were sung by MT. Allen Hinckley, there Is oppor- tunity but scarcely any others give any scope whatever. That is, for the basso cantate. You know there are several va- rieties of base voices-the basso profundo, the basso chantrali, in fact there are few voices which really measure up to the requirements of the real basso. For in- stance, have heard MT. Marion Greene, basso, sing the Elijah and the Messiah music. yet it is baritone part, so that frequently the impression is made of a baritone voice when in reality 1t Is a basso who is doing the work, or vice versa
 T suppose Plancon, Edouard deReszke and Marcel Journet are the greatest among modern opera basso." ventured.
 '"They with Pasquale Amato, and some of our own American singers-Blass, Glenn Hall, Henri Scott, who, by the way. is from Glencoe. H., are the best opponents of basso cantante that can be found" said MT. Stults.
 Musical Birmingham is awaiting your debut this evening with a great deal of interest" remarked, as I made ready to say my adieux.
 And I am delighted to appear under such pleasant auspices.' said MT StuIts, "and with two such charming artists as Mrs. Aldrich and Mrs. Beecher. I regard Mrs. Aldrich as one of the most superb pianstes I have ever heard, and Mrs. Beecher is easily the best reader in this country. In fact in their respective lines, none better can be found"
