X. II.. Dec. IT. (Special.) The legal status of Christian Science and the queatlon whether It la or ta not contrary to public policy are to be ar gued and decided In the l.'nlted States Circuit Court here early next year. The proceeding In an unusual one and coun sel for both sides are hard at work pre paring for trial. The ault waa atarted when a bill In equity waa filed In the United State Court by Ir. K. J. Foater Eddy. Mrs. Eddy's adopted ion. In which he aet up the un clalma against the disposition of the residue of the eatate to the di rectors of the Boton Church for re ligious purposes aa were aet up by Corn W. Glover. Ura Eddy a aon. In Ine atate court here. Couniel for General Baker, executor of the will, aet up a general demurrer In the Federal Court, and also intro duced an Interlocutory motlun to atop Foater Eddy from going- on with the raae. by reason of a family settlement, to which be waa a party and In which be agreed not to conteat any will which Mr. Eddy might make. The motion to remove the caae from the court on thla ground was dented by Judge Aldrlrh because the plaintiff al leges that the family settlement waa procured through "deception." The Judge aays that there are ques tions of fact to be determined and that rr. Foster Eddy has a right to show these facts If he ran. Judge Aldrlch says further that the pleadings of the plaintiff raise the queatlon whether Christian Science, to the furtherance of which the bulk of the estate is willed. Is or Is not against public pol Icy. In reviewing this phase of the ease the Judge aaya: "While not reciting all allegations In respect to teachings and practice pre sented by the bill. It la sufficient, for the purpose of showing that the ques tlon of public policy involved cannot be determined aa one of the law. to Bay that the plaintiff allegea that the prac tice and teachings of Christian Science are pernicious and hoattle to organised society, and constitute a business whlc.i U forbidden and made void by public policy, by i he lawa of the land. "II la. therefore, sufficient to eee that there are allegations presentlr; questions which cannot be ruled fa rorably to the defendanta as a matter of law upon demurrer. Thla results be cause the question of public policy In respect to Christian Science as pre sected on the face of the bill cannot be determined aa a pure question of la sr. "There Js now pending In the state rourta of New liampahlre a proceeding bv another heir which puta In Issue the construction of the New Hampshire statute limiting; church Incomes, and the question whether the religion of Christian Science contravenea the pol icy of the state, and such questions be ing question of local law. the decision of the State Supreme Court would con clude the questiona presented here. It U further suggested that thla court may well consider before entering upon the main question whether It should not wait the decision on the demurrers In the Glover suit. "We d- not feel free to accept that vtew. The effect of the decision will. It Is believed, open up for trial many facts which those who are attacking the will and religion of Mrs. Eddy have been long fighting for an opportunity ' -: : . v.. . ,-. . .H -. -v. .-- v . i - " T-- "' -' - yy-::y "e "t.

Dec. 17. (Special.) The girl who started the famous shirt waist strike by her rousing speech at Cooper Union has found a haven after two years of persecution by shirtwaist manufacturers, she says. Miss Clara Lemllch has been appointed a state fac tory Inspector. Miss Iemllch says that for her activ ities In tho strike she has been turned out of position after position, until It waa well nigh Impossible for her to earn a living for herself and the parents and young brother dependent upon her. The state appointment comes as a God-send, she declares. I am not an agitator, said. Miss Lemltch. bitterly. In discussing the al leged boycott against her.

Since then I have had scarcely any work." Her new work Is to be the Inspection of the shirtwaist shops under the state factory law. "I have not done any work yet." said Miss Lemllch.

"There are 1400 shops where" women are employed In New Tork City. In the better class factories, that Is, where sanitary conditions are good and the state laws sre obeyed, the girls are paid better wages, and are better treat ed. About the bad shops there Is very little. If anything, good to be said. They treat their girls badly, and the aanltary conditions are awfuL "It is almost certain ruin to a girl's health to work In such shops. These factories are located largely on the lower East tilde. They are In old build ings, with low ceilings and dirty win dows, dingy and badly ventilated. Nine ty per cent of the girls who go to work In these shops suffer In less than a years time from ruined eyesight and from diseases contracted there, the largest number being: victims of tu berculosis."

RUSSIAN" PLEADS FOR JEWS Semi-official Paper Declares for Abolishment of Pale. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 17. The Russian Foreign Office declares that it. Bahmtleff received from here no formal protest against the abrogation of the Russian-American treaty of. 1832. Dispatches from Washington an nounclng that tentative efforts to reach an agreement on the passport question were going on were published here yes terday morning and appeared In the newspapers last night and this morn ing, unaccompanied by comment of any nature. With respect to those negotiations. the Foreign Office has nothing to say, considering that the responsibility for the reports, which are of a divergent nature, rests on those who sent them. The semi-official Rossla prints a signed article by the editor, who d. dares against restrictive laws and In favor of the abolition of the pale. "Pro-government Russians," he says, "cannot confine themselves to attacks upon, and blind hatred for. the Jews. nor senselessly repeat the saying. The Jews will ruin Russia.' The Jews have not ruined Polish or Little Russian cit ies, and they will not ruin Russian ones. "The solution of the question, which la the most Important now facing the Government, canot be deferred eternal ly. We cannot leave millions of people to roast In their own Juice. The pale Is a low economic state, dreadful In Its unsanitary condition. If Russia has too many Jews, she must assist In their emigration, but the possibility of emi gration Is restricted by measures adopted by the British and American governments and would be further dl mlnlshed by the abrogation of the treaty of 13:." JEWELS RUDELY STOLEN THIEVES TEAR GEMS FROM WOMAN'S EARS AND FIXGERS. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch Angry at Mayor On j nor for Instructing Police to Wink at Hoys Playing In Streets. NEW TORK. Dec. 17. (Special.) Discussing "Rowdyism In American Cities" at the club' rooms of the Women's Political Union. 46 East Twenty-ninth street. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch deplored lawlessness of American college boys and that of the "less educated boys in Wall street." Mrs. Blatch pointed out particularly to her fellow suffragists the antics of students at Cornell which had come under observation, and Mrs. Pank hurst's experiences at Harvard. Part of the eo-called lawlessness was atributed by Mrs. Blatch to the "race assimilation process" going on In the United States. Mrs. Blatch was considerably worked up over the sub ject. "There is nothing like It In all Europe," said she. The speaker found some fault with the way New York's public schools are conducted, and scored Mayor Gaynor for Instructing policemen to "wink" at boys playing ball in the streets. Airs. Blatch was particularly aroused about thla. Football Hits Woman. "Why, ladies. I was knocked down once In the street by a football kicked by a 20-year-old boy," said Mrs. Blatch. "Think of It! True, the one who kicked the ball didn't hit me by design; but. dear me. one can never telH where a ball will go! Not long ago a woman carrying a baby In the atreet was struck by a batted ball and was knocked down. The ball came so close to the baby's head that It bent the little vizor of Its bonnet. Every Monday we read In the papers of rowdies arrested In the streetcars and In the elevated and subway trains. Tv'ow, what did we hear a few months ago when the boy who couldn't play ball In the street wrote to the Mayor? What waa tho Mayor's reply? It wae one of driveling emotion. He was so profoundly sympathetic for the boys, and he was so devoutly sorry that they had been stopped from play ing ball In the streets, and he would tell the policemen to give 'a great big wink' at such doings hereafter. '.My dear ladles." continued Mrs. Blatch. "I affirm that Mayor Gaynor's attitude helped to train those boys in the school of lawlessness. If Mayor Gaynor had been knocked down in the street, as I waa. or If he had lost the sight of an eye from a batted baseball, as a woman that I know did, he might take a different view of such a situa tion. Gilbert Parker Brought Up. "Gilbert Parker, the English novel ist, has reluctantly said in an Inter view that, although we have a less bitter Industrial situation confronting us than England has, we are more given to lawlessness. He spoke of the McNamara dynamiting, but he did not llude to that, but to that deed of chivalrous American men that tarring and feathering act recently perpetrat ed out est. Mrs. Blatch went on to say that American men and women parents In the majority of cases are guilty of "moral lesion" In that they themselves glory In their attitude, which Is one of wilful unconcern to matters of good government and private conduct. Then she went on to point out the superi ority of English women to their American sisters in this respect, and ended In an eloquent plea for woman suffrage, which she said was th'e only olutlon of a National evIL American men. she said, are generally Interested In things that Interest women, and) If the men are to be Interested at ail It a got to be because of the women. Before she at down Mrs. Blatch pleaded for more playgrounds. They are great factors In solving the prob lem of rowdyism, she said. They ought to be on the rofs of public buildings, courthouses, churches and railroad sta tions, she insisted. 11UA0D lull Ei If UP HER HANDS From a letter from Mrs. Bessie An derson. 104 Georgia street, Vancouver. a. ... we condense the following: I "Your kind letter to hand this A.

At what seemed the very last moment the treatment was changed to Fulton's Renal Compound. Her re covery was very slow, but about the sixth month she was up and around. Her recovery was so wonderful that she reports that scores of people called on her and wrote her about It. The Mr. H. that she refers to was also In the last stages of Brlght's Disease.
