Christian Science and Spiritualism.

To the Editor of The Star:
The dispatch in Tuesdays Star. under

Stetson Has Her Empty Chair Ready"
might lead to the inference that Christian
Science is allied to Spiritualism. That
your readers may have no such miscon.
ception 1 wish to quote Mrs. Eddv's own
words on this subject from her book
Science and Health. One CHAPTER of This
DOCK Is entitled Christian Science versus
Splrltuallsm. From this chapter I make
the following excerpts: II entertain no
oouDt or the humanity and philanthropy
or many Spiritualists but cannot coincide
with their views. 1t Is mysticism which
gives Spiritualism it's force There
Is but one Spirit. The supposition that
corporeal beings are spirits or that there
are GOOD and evil spirits, is a mistake.
When the science OF mind is un-
derStOod. SpiritualiSm will he found main

nor origin, no proof nor power outside of
human testimony' l never could believe
Science Spirit. as proper noun. is the
taught but one God. one Spirit who
makes man in the image and likeness of
himself-of Spirit. not of matter.
Spirit is not made manifest through mat
ter. the ant1pOde or Spirit. The
belief that material bodies return to dust
hereafter to rise up as spiritual bodies
with material sensations and desires is
incorrect. To be on communities HE

from organic bodies. and their return TO a
material condition. after having once left
1t. would be as impossible would be the
restoration to its original condition of the

These quotations will. I think, show
conclusively that Mrs. Stetson's promul-

TO SAFEGUARD AVIATORS.
Aero Club Would Have ALI Machines
Thoroughly INSPECTED.

NEW YORK. January An view of the
long series of tragedies which marked
aviation in 1910 the Aero Club of Amer
lea will urge the International Aeronautic
Federation. at its meeting in Paris next
week. to establish a system of thorough
official inspection of all aeroplanes and
balloons flying in any exhibition or con-
test throughout the world.
An additional recommendation is for an
investigation of atmospheric conditions,
particularly in regard to the much dis
cussed and disputed ''holes'' in the air
The rules for inspection are to provide
also for investing in the proper authority
power to exclude from flying i'm any exhi-
bitiOn or contest such aeroplanes or bal
looms as the official inspection may de-
termine dangerous to the pilot or spec
tators.
Recent additions to the membership of
the Aero Club of America include Russell
Grace. a cousin of Cecil Grace, who was
lost in cross-channel flight; Cornelius
Vanderbilt William Travers Jerome,
Payne Whitney. George J. Gould, Finley

FOUR BEARS BACCED
BY ONE LONE HUNTER
Mountain Guide in CatskiIIs
Has Trophies for City
Hunters.

NEW YORK. January 4.-Four black
bears at killing, each weighing about
200 pounds. began the new year hunting
record yesterday at Big Indian in the
Catskills. They were bagged near the
bungalow Of the Winnsook Club, but
not by any of the city hunters. Their
captor was a mountain guide with whom
business is slack just now.
He dragged the carcasses over the
snow to Laments Hotel at the foot Of
Slide mountain. where bidders for tro-
phies will be welcome and will get a
chance to bag bear on their own account
if they want that kind of sport.
Followed Bear Tracks.
The guide saw the first bear tracks
early in the morning just above the set
Element Of Big Indian. and crossing the
road that leads over to the WinnisoOk
Club He followed them on snowshoes.
About half a mile beyond the settle
ment the tracks revealed the fact that
second bear had joined the first. A
little later three sets of tracks appeared,
and within two miles of Little Indian
four bears were trudging along together.
Survivors Run in Circles.
Inc guIQe overlook the game Jumper
ing down the sides Of a gulch. His gun
was double-barreled and he killed two
in emptying it. The survivors, not To-
eating the direction of the shots, lost
their heads and ran in circles while he
reloaded. He had no trouble in tumbling
both of them over.
Bears have been plentiful in that
neighborhood for several weeks. The
aYnlanatiOn the hunters give is that the
snowfall in the mountains is uncommonly
heavy this winter and has driven bears
from the heights toward the settlements
in search of food

AN INCREASED INCOME
DEMANDED BY RAILWAYS
Necessity Set Forth in Brief at
Hearing on Advance
in Rates.

The necessity for Increased income IN
order to meet the public demand for I'M
proved and extended operating facilities
and wage advances asgregatng over
$1,000, 900 are the principal arguments or
the attorneys Of the Pennsylvania railroad
lines east OF Pittsburg in support OF the
proposed increase in class freight rates.
George Stuart Patterson. Francis 1. Cow
EN- and George v. Massey made the Or
guments in a brief just submitted to the
interstate commerce commission.
Discussion Of Obstacles.
They state that il the view upon which
the companies have acted in the past as
to the necessity of substantial surplus
earnings as a basis Of credit for further
expansion of their capitalization is
adopted as reasonable. and the rates or
the future are consequently permitted to
be adjusted with this in view, then no ad-
ditional obstacles 10 the development or
the railroad facilities of the country will
have been interposed through the action
OF the commission.
H. however, the contrary course lis pur-
sued and the views adopted are those
which have been urged by the ship
pers' representatives. who are opposing
the advances now proposed then, they
say, an additional obstacle Will have been
interposed to the further development or
their facilities by the railroad companies.
"How serious this will be. in that event..
they say, 1.-The future can only clearly
show
Permanent Increase in Expense.
1t is pointed out that the increase in
the wage scale constitutes a permanent
increase in the operating expenses OF the
lines. and it is urged that it furnishes on
its face "a justification for an advance I'm
rates"
Unless il be submitted that the present
rates are excessive by at least S1.0O0.o00 q
year. they declare - the additional
amount in round figures paid in wages
1.-The proposed advances I'm rates must be
regarded as reasonable 1t is maintain
ed that the present rates are too low and
that.tilat claim is established by the evil
dence adduced at the hearings 1t is fur
Their argued that the rates. entirely ire
spective Of the advances i'm wages, should.
in justice, be allowed.
The claim is advanced that the long
distance class rates have not been yield
ing excessive earnings. and. in fact. that
they have not been contributing their
fair share of reasonable earnings"
President McCrea Quoted.
The testimony of President McCrea OF
the Pennsylvania lines is indicated to
show the importance to the roads and to
the public OF the earning OF a surplus
income for improvements and better
ments Of the railroad properties. In the
last five years, ii is cited. the aggregate
surplus earnings amounted to $55, 600 ,oG
Of which sum S44 100000 was expended
on account of improvements excluding
all expenditures on account OF the New
York terminal In the same period, IL the
existing wage scale had been in opera
ton. more than $3J0O0,OO0 would have
been absorbed from that surplus. thus re-
ducing the amount available for improve
ments to 50, 100000.

WOMAN CLAIMS HEALING
AS RESULT Of PRAYER
Hobbies to Altar During Re-
vivaI and Leaves It Cured
of Paralysis.

MILFORD, Del. January 4.-Hobbling
to the altar during a revival meeting con-
Quoted by the Rev. L. f. Bennett, Mrs.
Florence Still who was paralyzed In one
leg and unable to walk, was suddenly
healed through the power of prayer. She
can now walk about and is as well as she
ever was. Her sudden recovery is vouch-
ed for by hundreds who were at the meet
ing.
For several months revival meetings
have been going on here, and Mrs. Still
became interested in reports Of the meet
ings. She had been sick for some time,
and during her illness leg was para
lyzed. The limb became shorter than the
other, and an extension sole Of two ard
half inches was required Her physi-
clan told her that she would never be
able to walk again without clutches.
Induced to Attend Revival.
She became impressed with the idea
that she should go to the meetings and
seek religion. After hearing the sermon
of the evening she insisted on being
helped to the altar. and several men aided
her. She began praying in a loud voice
for salvation. Suddenly. as she was pray
ing, the congregation was astonished to
see the lame woman arise to her feet and
walk about without any assistance.
Her clutches have been thrown away,
and SO far as she Or her friends can see
Mrs. Still is suffering no result from her
former illness.
No Other Cures Recorded.
The curing of Mrs. Still has brought
many persons to the meetings, seeking
to be healed. but no other cures have
been reported.
Several ministers and prominent men,
bers of the Methodist Protestant confer
ence. in which church Mrs. Still was
cured, have come here and personally in
vestigated the matter. They obtained
satisfactory proofs of the unusual case
