ONTARIO HAVING
OPTION CONTESTS
Skirmishing in Great Tenn
perance Campaign Now
Coming to a Close.
(American News Service)

Ottawa, Ont, Dec 30.-Throughout
the whole extent of Ontario. from
Glengarry county in the East to Es-
sex county in the west, the final
skirmishing is now on in what is re-
garded as the most important local
option campaign ever waged in the
province. On Monday next more than
four-score municipalities including
many of the leading cities, will vote
upon the question of local prohibi-
ton.
The temperance forces are thor
oughly organized and have conducted
an aggressive campaign. The anti
prohibition element processes to feel
no fear over the outcome of the con-
test, but unprejudiced opinion in
clines to the belief that the elections
will result in a considerable addition
to the dry area of the province.
There are SIG municipalities in On
tario at the present time with total
of 1850 licenses. Four hundred and
ten of these municipalities are now
dry and 406 went wet, or in other
words the strength of the opposing
elements is almost equally divided.
A striking feature of the campaign
is the comparatively few attempts be
ing made to repeal local option. Last
year there were Ill municipalities in
which repeal contests were possible
but in only IL was the matter brought
to vote. and only bylaws were re-
pealed. This year there are 12S mu
inequalities in which local option by.
laws have been in force for :: years OF
more. and where repeal contests might
be made in accordance with the law
But of the entire 12S places only hall
dozen have taken advantage of the
privilege and will vote on the question
Of repeal. This fact is cited by the ad
vocates of prohibition as affordins
conclusive evidence of the success OF
the anti-saloon laws and as All indica
ton of still further weakening OF
the liquor traffic as a result of next
weeks elections.

WAR FOR SUPREMACY.

New York, Dec. 30.-The campaign
for supremacy in the Christian Science
church is on. 1t is between Mrs. Aug
usta e. Stetson. the communicated
leader of this city and the directors
of the mother church in Boston. The
opponents of Mrs. Stetson admitted
today that the church is now confront.
ed by a grave crisis.
Mrs. Stetson's declaration that she
expects the resurrection of Mrs. Ed.
dy in the flesh is expected to win
over to her many of those who have
been wavering since the death of the
sect's founder.
Mrs. Stetson has the complete sup
port of her whole following in New
York City and they are unanimous in
their claim that she is the logical sue
cesson of Mrs. Eddy.
They have accepted the declaration
of Mrs. Stetson that Mrs. Eddy will
like Jesus Christ, arise from her grave
and assume the corporeal habilaments
of every day life and again become the
guiding control of the church. The ma
terial heads of the mother church in
Boston-the board of directors and
comptrollers of the affairs of the first
church. deny Mrs. Stetson's interpre
tation of the principles of the new
faith.
May Mean New Church.
What will be the outcome of the
controversy which is now fairly un
der way cannot be seen but one re-
suit may be the founding of new
Christian Science church by Mrs
Stetson and her believers, moulded
after many of the teachings of Mrs
Eddy supplemented by further teach
ings of Mrs. Stetson.
Here are the main points in Mrs
Stetson's official pronounciamento
which is the first big gun fired by
her in her campaign:
THE millennium is at hand. This
rs the end of the gospel age. Mrs
bddy, who was the female Christ. will
return to earth. | am watching and

Eddy in the semblance of a human

FeNt week. it may not come for ten
years, but it will surely come and its
coming will be fastened if an attemp,
IL made to alter the rule of Christian
Science as 1t appears in the manual
q the church
This open declaration of belief in the
of Mrs. Eddy has caused
the greatest religious sensation of 3
decade. Her opponents are already
rallying to dispute and claim to lead
ership repudiating the doctrine OF
resurrection as she has set it forth
Tc do this they present the writings
of Mrs. Eddy herself. In an inter
view given out by Alfred Farlow. head
of the publication committee of the
Christian Science church. he says:
I'm her own writings Mrs. Eddy. ex

at the suggestion Of any comparison

AUGUST GOES HIGHEB
In Spite of the BuIlish News From Texas the Market Is Not Moved
 By Great Demand md Ad- vance Is Very Small

New York, August 23.-Bulllsh crop news failed to stimulate any general de- mand of consequence following an early alvance in the cotton market today and subsequently fluctuations were more or less irregular with the close barely steady at a net advance of 6913 points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to IS points with near months lead ing on the higher cables. covering by August shorts and bulhsh crop accounts from Texas indicating yield less than three per cent larger than last year. Realizing checked the advance around the initial figures and during the morn Ing there were reactions of to points from the top but the market later firmed up again, following the detailed Texas weather report showing vSry high tenn peratures and report from local au- thority indicating that present prospects pointed to a crop of only 1O.34o,oo bales.
 August made new high record for the season on this second advance, touching 1e.60c or 21 points above the closing fig ures of last night, and the new crop sold into new high ground for the day also. or to a net gain of 12 to 16 points. But, as had been the case on the initial bulge. there was no material broadening of speculative demand on the advance, and while there was some support from the bull leaders as well as covering by early sellers the market eased off from the top under renewed realizing and selling by local bears who probably are looking forward to the new crop movement as likely to prove a depressing factor in the advance of general demand. Last prices were to points net higher on new crop months.
 The weekly weather report read bullish- ly but attracted comparatively little at- tention as 1t presented no fresh features. while failure of the bullsh private crop figures to bring in more active buying from outside sources.
