here today that the names OF sixteen Of
the practitioners who were identified
with and supported Mrs Augusta Stet-

Science Church, IN New York city, were
erased from the roll Of membership Of
the mother church.
Archibald Mcclellan. q director. when
asked II the action removed the sixteen
from membership IN the New York
church. said
In point Of fact, these people were
dropped from the rolls OF the New York
church some time ago The matter has
been under consideration ever since Mrs
StetSon was dropped, but final action
was not taken until about a week age
The directors, who are supreme in the
affairs Of the mother church, are ArCli-

that they have been persistent ever
since Ms Stetson-s dismissal and mat

Accused Bank Embezzler Holds a
Reception in Police Station.

Iron Bars-HeId for Theft
of $1,000.

John Ward Sturgis, accused Of forgery
and embezzlement, has not been deserted

In his cell at the First precinct station.
yesterday. he held an impromptu recep-
ton. the guests being friends of old. who
wished to grasp the hand OF the prisoner
and tender their sympathy for him in
his present difficulties. First among the
callers was his father. Their meeting
was pathetic, for the elder Sturgis showed
signs Of much suffering. The face OF the
young man grew grave when he saw the
lines of worry in his fathers face.
The two stood for several minutes with
out word spoken, their hands clasped.
and the iron bars between them. The
conversation between father and son was
in a low tone, which was not heard by
the policemen on duty in the cell-room.
When the father left, Henry E. Davis.

fend the confessed embezzler. talked with
allowed to see Sturgis. Most of them
were young men whom the bank clerk
had known all his life. There was not
bank employee among the callers.

of my acts he said but I am very
sorry for what I did" He retold the
story of his escapade which he told in
New Orleans after his arrest, and added
with smile: 4 think the case has been
given little too much publicity
He arrived from New Orleans at $50
O'Clock in the morning, in custody OF
United States Marshal Victor Loisel, of
New Orleans. At police headquarters he
was photographed. measured by the Ber-
tillon system, and his finger prints taken.
The prisoner was interviewed by Inspec-
tor Robert H. Boardman. after which ne
was removed to the First precinct sta
ton under guard. He is accused of the
theft of more than sS,000 from a Washing
ton bank. The police of Chicago have a
similar charge against him.

patton. In my opinion constipation
is responsible for most ailments. There
are thirty-two feet Of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged. the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in
digestion and impure blood, which often
produces rheumatism and kidney all
ments. No woman who suffers with con-
stipation or any liver complaint can ex-
pect to have clear complexion, or enjoy
good health.
Munyon's Paw-paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weakening; they
enrich the blood instead Of impoverish-
ing It; they enable the stomach to get
ali the nourishment from food that is
put into it.
These pills contain no calomei, no dope,
they are soothing, healing and stimu-
lating. They school the bowels &c act
