Majority of People Driven to It
Undsr Lash of Disease It
Brings Liberty, Says Wm.
R. Rathvcn.
Portland Christian Scientists are still
discussing the lecture explaining- th
tenets of their faith given -before a
largo audience at the Hellig theatre
Sunday afternoon by William It. Rath
vcn, of the board of lectureship of
the Kirst Churoh cf Christ, Scientist,
In Boston.
Mr. Rathvon, who was Introduced by
B. S. Josselyn, said In part; , '
"Of the multitude, of men and women
who are Indebted to Christian Science,
the treat majority were driven to It
under the lean -of disease or bodily de
ficiency. For many It was their last
resort, all else having proved empty,
-fruitless, disappointing-. Others there
are who, witnessing la their own fami
lies and among- their own friends the
pitiful failure ef drugs, and the pitiless
trail of the knife preferred to trust
their restoration to God rather than to
the mimlless drug or the cruel steel.
The sanitarium, the , operation table,
aye, the very grave Itself have been
robbed of their destined subjects In
such numbers as to force even from
-unfriendly- lips- the resultant -admission
that 'Christian Science ; does heal the
sick.' . ' ' i ' !.'
"The basis of Christian Science heal
ing is the infinitude and omnipotence of
mind, spirit, Ood.
"If personal evidence of the efficacy
of Christian Science In . healing every
class of disease should be desired, let
tne call your attention to this fact
Since 1888 there have been published In
each Issue of the Christian Science offi
cial periodicals detailed , personal ac
counts of the healing of all manner of
diseases - through mind alone. In this
long list may be found cases of every
form of functional and organlo disorder
. that materia medlca claims to . have
diagnosed. Many of ttiese people "at
one time held Christian Science In dis
dain and tried It only after the healing
ryfetem of their choice had utterly
failed to give them permanent relief.
Their names and addresses can be had
for the asking, as each particular ease
haa been examined for authenticity and
accuracy before publication. They axe
from reputable citizens, your neighbors
and mine, and such an array of cred
ible testimony Is not to be swept aside
by a professional sneer. ' ,

- Christian Science has but one text
book, "Science and Health with Key to
th Scriptures,'' by Mary Baker Eddy.
"It-has been asserted that Christian
Scientists place their text book above

'-No one can' honestly make this allega

are printed these words, the first of a
series of tenets of our religion:

their origin In God. ' They.have always

"The textbook of Christian Science
was piven to the world not to exploit
a theory, but to relate a discovery; not
to unset religions, but to establish sal
vation; not to confound materia medlca,
but to simplify healing; "not to con

"There, la a short and cheering pre
cept that Christian Science has no de

la not a new message. It has reassured
the children of men ever since they
first felt the chill of fear. The loving
mother encouraging her toddling In
fant, tbo gallant captain cheering his
men to greater valor, the genial Savior
quieting his affrighted disciples, all use
it That message 1s Be not afraid.'
""'And 'why,' It -may bo asked, 'does
Christian Science ' lay so much stress
upon the need of overcoming fear? Is
not fear, a thing of only occasional oc
currence due. to causes not easily pre
ventable? ; Does It not affect the emo
tionsonly and . arenotjts, effectaubut
temporary? Let us see.
. ."Christian Science emphasizes the fact
that when fear Is eliminated from the
consciousness of the sick man no mat
ter what the nature of bis Illness be
has taken a long step towards recovery.
It declares also that people who are
habitually r free from fear,' worry,
anxiety, apprehension and the like are
far less susceptible t illness and mis
fortune than others. It has uncovered
In fear , an -agency of evil, an enemy of
health, a destroyer of peace and a bar
to -a man's progress heavenward. , It
is not to be wondered then that the
elimination of fear from human con
sciousness Is an Important feature of
the mission of -Christian Science.
"More than all of this Christian Sci
ence discloses that the man habitually
discouraged is not only an Inviting tar
get for disease, but is already striped
with t the colors of ; unbelief, for he
gloomily distrusts the power and good
ness of God himself. '-..-,

this precious combustible to fill Broad

of 40 miles.

And today there Ms not enough of It
left, speaking literally, to cover the
same famous thoroughfare a foot In
depth much beyond Madison square. And
this, too. notwithstanding the fact that
every dne of the 53 mines in Seranton
and 161 In the valleys are working to
the limit Down under the earth thou
sands of men are feverishly drilling and
blasting, cars are rumbling with their
loads piled high to the shafts.
Up Into hundreds of breakers the
loads are lifted, dumped Into the hop
pers, and hour after hour these go on
crashing and smashing. Tet no gain Is
being made. The fact Is that the coun
try, alarmed by the experience of Great
Britain and Its coal famine, with the
Industrial disasters which have followed
and brought the English nation to the
verge of a revolution, Is In a panto for
anthracite. '

Nothing like the condition here In the
land of Phoebe Snow has ever, been
known. - Not. .since Morris 'and John
"Wertz," away back In " 1814, opened the
first nard coal mine baa the present
situation been equalled.
Kerybody here thinks of nothing
else, talks of nothing else, but the pos
sibility ot a great strike. I have talked
during the week with- miners, business
men, ! laborers, bankers. I have talked
with that half of Seranton which works
In its silk mills, Its button factories,
and Its hundred-odd .diverse Industries.
For, contrary to a popular notion,
Seranton does not depend Altogether on
Its mines of anthracite, although they
are Its greatest asset and source of
Income. . . ' .,.

And I havenot found one Individual
whu will say he believes a strike-will
be everted. All say they hope that
April 1 and the threatened suspension
will be safely, passed,, but when asked
as man to man 'If they think a strike
will be declared, with equal unanimity
they solemnly say yes, they do.
It Is a wonderful Industry, this, dig
ging of anthracite. The figures are
appalling. Just look at them. In that
strip of anthracite deposits, which
ranges from one to four miles In width,
never more, and which runs from a
point eight miles south of the city of
Seranton to a point 16 miles north, 10,
000,000 tons of this valuable fuel are
mined every year, and It bring at th
mouth of the mine the enormous total
Of $46,000,000. , ; ' ,

- There is Invested In machinery and
breakers, cars, etc, about
112,000,000 In the city of Seranton and
837,000,000 In the valley. ,
It Is estimated that sine the first

the city and not less than 600,000,000
out of the valley mines.
Th desposits of anthracite are three

est City on the north down through
Seranton and -Wilkesbarre to Shick-shinney.-a
distance of about 48 miles.
This runs from a mile to four In width.
This is by far the largest deposit, be-j
ing about half of all the anthracite ther
is in th stat and nation-

Ing breakers down to th miners and
their .laborers In the lowest levels. It
has been year In and year out of this
killing labor. Men who were In their
prime when the famous Roosevelt peace
commission maae its awara ana promul
gated tb agreement which expires on
April l.1 after having been twice re
newed by mutual consent, are now many
of them. bent and old, too old to w.rk.
Breaker boys then are now, many or
them, certified miners making from 815
to as high as $40 a week in some cases
rare instances for the higher figures.
Wages Depend Upon Run.
Nevertheless, such wages are some
times made. ' It all depends on the run
of th mine. With a vein of from four
to six feeti and while such get scarcer
and scarcer, a miner can go to work at
7 a. m. and with any sort of luck get
out enough coal by noon to net him
clear from $5 to $6 for that duty's work.

miner may drill and blast and pick from
7 a. m. to 6 p. m. and consider himself

The miners frankly admit that they
do not average more than from five to
seven hours In the mines the year round,
one of the points raised by the operators
In the refusal to consider thejflemand
for fewer hours. They say that no
human being can stand It In the lower
levels, with the deadly. -foul air and
worklnfc In wet and cramped chambers,
for longer than that They claim, too,
that the demand for an eight hour day
Is for the benefit of what are known as
"company men.', which seems to mean
everybody other than the certified
miner. ; v ' - '
Miner little Contractor.
- A mfni mrt of littl contractor
who under the supervlsionfJf mine
boss undertakes to mine a certain cham
ber, lie does all the J.'heid' work. It
is up to tho miner to lookout for gas,
to properly prop the chamber and take

Then whatever Is. due the laborer is
deducted from th miner's 75 cents a
ton, or4f the payment is by the car the
deduction Is made from the amount due
the miner on his contract
This has been done to avoid friction.
In the old days a few of the miners
were unscrupulous and took advantage
of the laborers, who were for the most
part recently arrived Immigrants. In
some canes the laborer found himself
defrauded altogether. , There were fre
quent fights and several killings over
such disputes'. Happily thee things
are of the past' , .;.
Breaker Boy Displaced,
One of the godsends of mining of to
day is that the breaker boy Is rapidly
being eliminated by machines which au
tomatically sort the eoal from the tock
and slate. ' - ;
Yet every mine still employs some of
these tads. They are supposed to be
16 years old before they r permitted
to work In the mines. I saw 20 of them
today in one of the big breakers, and at
least half of them, if It years of age,
are sadly stunted. The fact, however,
seems to be and both sides admit It
that many boys are sent to th breakers
by unscrupulous parents when hardly
18 years old. There may be exceptions
where a widowed mother has to have
the $4 or $5 a week that the llttl man
makes. ,. ' '

' Were there In this country anywhere
a prison where boys were eet at such
labor there would-be a country, wide
protest and It would be stopped. But
these lads are not prisoners. They are
free. They are enjoying their constitu
tional right to work and are being
worked.
If there la a strike It will be a deeper
problem than mere wages and hours ot
labor. It will mean that 175,000 men
who have labored without cessation for
10 years are weary of their toll. They
want a vacation just as we tak It In
the city, and from all appearances they
mean to have It, wages and hours of ta
bor to take care of themselves.

Charley Johnson Tears Open
John Aiken's Side With Shot
gun Charge and Breaks Arm
With Revolver Bullet.
Toledo, Or., March 81. Another
shooting scrape occurred on the Silets
Indian reservation Tuesday evening at
6:80. - The shooting was at what is
known as the upper farm, 10 miles up
the river from the agency.
John Aiken, Indian, and Charley John
son, Indian, got Into a controversy over
a cedar log from which they wished to
make fence posts. After some hot words
being passed Aiken turned to go home
when Johnson r&shed Into his cabin,
seized a shotgun and opened fire on
Aiken through the window.
The charge struck Aiken In the side
just below the ribs, tearing a great hoi
and knocking him down.. As he at
tempted to arise Johnson rushed from
th house with a hug navy pistol and
shot Aiken again, this shot taking ef
feet In the arm, breaking the bona
Johnson tried to shoot again, but th
pistol failed to explode;
News of the shooting reached the
agency about 8 -o'clock last evening,
and Agency Physician : Clauslus and
Dputy.Sherlff Davls left - immediately
for the scene. Dr. Clauslus did what
he could for th wounded man, but say
he has only one chance In a thousand
to recover. "" '.
Deputy Sheriff Davis captured John
son and brought him and the weapons
which he used to Toledo late yesterday
afternoon - and turned them over to
SherlffGelr. Aiken, who was formerly
a marine engineer, has lived at the
agency only about two years, during
which time he has been on of the most
Industrious Indians on the reservation.
Owing to the light sentences which
the Indians receive when convicted of
shooting one of their fellow tribesmen.
they are entering Into a state of law
lessness which Is hard to control, this
being responsible for the large number
of these scraps. There were two eye
witnesses to the affair.
