An Acceptable Decision.

tlnn of tho Ctoliy meriy-Ko-round
c.tse, rcstrainlnK the
nop whUh h.tfl been com
plained of by .about nO property-owners
rvldnnt within Its circle of audibility,
properly applies the law to clearly es.
tnbllshed facts Theie was 110 pei se
dition of Crosby, though the defense
naturally .-ought to make that ap
pear. On the contrary. It was Ciosby
and his colleaRiies who did the p-isf-cutlilV,'
by kpepliiK their music sound
Inc so ytoaclily as to deptlve som
cltlzrns of slept) nnd many of the
fjulet sought by them when purchasing
homes away from the business dls
trlcts. Tha best music, so continually
produced, would In time become Intol
erable to those compelled to hear It
without Intermission; nnd Crosby's,
according to the preponderance of
sworn testimony, was several degrees
short of the best.
But stopping the nerve-wracking
monotony of the continual gtlndlng of
a steam organ, however good, bad or
indifferent the instrument, though as
far as the could could go. In the caso
before It, does not exhaust the possi
bilities of reform In connection with
the approaches to Nay Aug p.uk. The
entire tendency to convert these ap
proaches Into cheap John midways
patterned after the catch-penny de
vices of Coney Island and other dis
tinctly amusement resorts must In
some way be brought under control or
preferably suppies-ed. Its Immediate
effect is to depreciate propeity that
would otherwise nppieclate In value.
This, however, Is a limited 111 conse
quence compaied with the cheapening
effect that these midway features
would produce In course of years upon
the park itself and compared also
with the deterioration that would fol
low in the character of those thus en
couraged to frequent the park.
While it Is not to lie expected that
iTpublle park can be wholly freed from
the occasional presence of disagreeable
persons it certainly should not be sur
rounded by devices calculated to in
duce extravagance, frivolity or lce.
Primarily a park Is n place of rcciea..
tlpn nnd rest, and not n feeder to
commercial projects. Its amusements
should bo under legulatlon of the city
authorities; and nil schemes of
money-making dependent upon Its fie
qenter,s for success should be placed
by municipal ordinance under the su
pervision of the department of public
safety. Unless this shall be done, we
are going to have continual trouble in
policing the park and its environs
properly and there will be danger that
the vicious features, like weeds In a
garden, will multiply more rapidly
than the good.
.The latest reported project of Thomas
V. Law son, Boston's multl-mllllnnaire
:opper king, gas speculator, hoise nnd
Jog-fancler and disappointed yachts
ntjnjisto buy a bunch of Islands off
Sllinlngton, Mnlne, nnd ennvett them
nloan earthly summer pmadlse. It
8 a Rood use for oppressive millions.
A good deal of mystery appears to
iuir6und the recent harmony deal be
tween Governor Stone and Senator
Fllnn nnd much weird guessing Is the
consequence. Not knowing anything
about It, we are compelled to accept as
gospel truth the untarnished word of
Director Brown, of Pittsburg, Fllnn's
bosom friend, and architect of the. rain
now of peace, who says; "Fllnn simply
S,nt to tht mourners' bench and cried.
'Save me!' He has been sent back to
the tower to work out his salvation.
He is In a good deal the same position
r another man he tells about. This
prrcon wag taken Into the church and
he was ankerl whether he woultt lend
the praylnc, olnglns. take up the col
lection or perfotm ionio other duties.
All these offices uere declined, hut he
cheerfully ncreed to do the object Inn.
This Is the work to be performed by
Mr. Fllnn for the next r,lx months."
It becomes more apparent dally that
In many Instances the worklngman
Is the victim of the tnlklnfeman.
Russell M. Conwcll and Faith Cure
T HI'Ili: will be much conster
mtion In the ilrclef touched
by the great Baptist church
of this country when the
latest utterances of the btllllant rep
resentative of that denomination, Rev.
Russell H Conwcll, are fully compre
hended. The pastor of dmec Temple
In Philadelphia Is considered one of the
mot btllllant men In the denomination,
If not Its finest oiator. Ills piomlnence
In woik iiilculated to elevate hunnn
Ity, hl gifts to educational funds nnd
his tireless aetlvltv In many dliectlons
have bi ought him Into closer touch
with the world nt large tlnn falls to
the lot of cleigymen In general. The
astonishing statements Jut made,
theiefore. by l)i. Conwcll must natui
ally be heard with vivid Inteiest, par
ticularly when they iclate fo surh n
mooted doctrine nt Chilstlan Silence.
Pi. Conw ell's Intetvlew In vester
daj's Philadelphia Times would lead
the public to believe that he Is a on
vert to faith tuie In Its prnetli.il ap
plications, nt Ioast he goes fuither In
his acceptance of the tenets of that
belief than Is usually admitted by pul
pit oiatois of hi emlntnte.
"l'vciy one," said Mi. Conw ell, "Is
enabled to achieve icmlts as n Chils
tlan Scientist by the Suiptm.il verse,
'According to your faith It shall be
unto ou.' That's the foundation of
Christian Science, Theie Is no special
message to Mis. lMrly. She has only a
great faith, nnd lh.it has made her
powerful. Theie isn't any doubt about
the cuies effected by Chilstlan Si lent e.
In the Hist place, n great many peisons
who think they are sick 111 e sick only
In thnir minds, of course, Chilstlan
Science e,m line them. Then their are
a number nf nervous iHtcacs, ihcuma
tlsm for Instance, and especially lis
teria, which It can cute. It cant 1 ure
consumption, but I know that It 1.111
stop the pi ogress of the disease. If a
patient has one lung gone, It 1.111't te
stoie that lung, but It can Keep the
other healthy.
' Mlnlsteis should learn Christian
Science methods," continued Di. Con
vvav earnestly. "They ate so often
called in to the sick. I have htlpcd cure
s'ck peorile Just fiom the way I talked
to thnm I enter a room believing that
thr patient will get better. That belief
Is shown in everything I say, every
motion I make. This mesmeiic foice
impresses .md convince!, the patient,
and whin the doc tor comes again he
wondeis at the gieat Improvement
Many mlnlsteis deal with the patient
as If they believed he or she was sine
to die. I believe, our duty as mlnlsteis
is to rave piople for this win Id as well
as the next. We can do It by Christian
Science.
"Theie s an Instance of this right
here In my own home. .My daughter
has been in .1 very critical mniliiion
from nn attack of t.vphold fever, she
Is better now than she was and If she
Is lined It will be due, I believe, to
Christian Science treatment b ,1 friend
of hers. This girl friend took the atti
tude that my daughter wasn't f-lck at
nil. I knew she was and so did my
wife, and we both thought our daugh
ter's friend was unsympathetic. But
after every visit of this gill my daugh
ter was better. Mrs. Conwcll. ou see,
knowing how sick my daughter was,
leally made her woise when she i n
tered the 100m because she showed in
eveiy act that she fcaied the worst.
This icacted on my daughter, who Is of
a neivous disposition.
"The icason that there are not more
Christian Scientists Is that some of
Mrs. Kddy's followers go to the ex
tremes nnd make extiavagant claims
as well as piofess absurd beliefs. But
this is no reason why Chilstlan
churches should exclude the genuine,
the true portion of Christian Science.
They have made the Christian Science
chinch possible Just as they made tho
Young Men's Christian association
possible when theie was loom In the
church toi both. If 1 Ue four yiais,"
added Dr. Conwcll earnestly, "we will
have In the Temple college .1 school of
medical psychology that shall treat of
th.s Influence of the mind over ills
ense." Dr. Conw ell was asked about Dovvle
and the 'Ann church. "I'm afraid," bo
replied, slowly, with his head in his
hand, "that Douie is a swindle. He
says he Is the second I'lljah, jou know,
and then theie's the Dovvle bank and
the land speculation. It looks bad."
"Then, why Is Dovvle having such a
success?" was asked. "Because eveiy
one can make a success when they base
their fraud on surh a grand truth as
Christian Science. Dovvle makes many
cures by the Christian Sclnce method,
and these cures give him the opportun
ity to make money. But Mrs. Hddy Is
sincere in her belief. She Is not like
Dovvle."
This is undoubtedly tho most Im
portant endorsement that Mis. Eddy
nas yet received.

though carefully guarded,
recently disappeared, greatly
to tho nnnoyanco of Piesldfnt Shaffer
and his fellow ofllceis, and somo of
their contents havo since been made
public. They 111 e full of Inteiest.
Tho steel trust, prior to the strike,
hart on Its pay toll. In lounrt numbers,
fAOOO skilled and lOO.ono unskilled work
eis. It will be lemembeied that In the
negotiations leading up to the strike
President Shaffer ftrenunusly insisted
that his union represented a laige ma
jority of the company's employe.. The
records show that In May last the total
paying membership of the Amalga
mated artoclatlon was only 13.RD3, not
ten per cent, of the trust's pay roll nor
30 per cent, of its skilled vorkers. Of
there 13,t,3 paying member-, 4,Pflfi were
emploved In mills not In tho trust,
leaving Shaffer' constllurnry nmong
tho trust's' employes reduced to 11.393,
er than n fifteenth of Its total labor
and a sixth of Its skilled labor. This
was In May and It Is now August. Pome
recruiting has occurred In ttTe Interval,
but nt the time ShnffeV pretended to
represent the labor of the steel Industry
ho wa blurting, he knew he was bluff
ing, nnd what spoiled his game was
thnt tho trust nUo knew he was bluff
Ing. Some other facts are revealed in the
recordi. When the strike was declared
that threw probably lOrt.OfO men Into
Idleness, theie was only J75.000 in the
nsoclntlon's treasury not T5 cents a
week for each atrlker nnd hardly more
than $1 a week for seven weeks for the
members Involved. Shaffer's salary Is
$lfi0 a month, not half enough for n
man nt to fill the place he ttlca to fill,
but his expenses for the lost fiscal
year, pnltl out of tho treasury In addi
tion to his salaiy, were $1,130.61; and
of the total sum of $110,639 07 collected
during the year for the treasury, $11.
760 33 wn tie-voted to the payment of
ofllcers anl officers' "expenses," for tho
attendance of officers nt conferences,
nnd for "expenses" not specifically
named.
Of the entire labor of the country
less than one-seventh Is organized,
tnklng the union flgiires ns accurate.
If every union estimate Ip pa inaccur
ate ns Shaffer's, it Is doubtful if one
American worklngninn In twenty be
longs to n union. Where a strike con
ducted under union auspices succeeds,
the membership of that union instant!
grows to large proportions, ns was
shown by the expeilence of the United
Mine Workers In the anthracite region
last fall Where such a mike falls,
the union must either reorganize or
perish. The lack nmong non-unlonlsts
of oiganlzatlon or means of knowing
the relative strength renders It easy
foi a handful of union representatives
to stampede many times then own
membership Into n strike. This Is
usually facilitated by profuse pinmles
of fabulous benefits to come tn the
form of cash distributions while the
f-trlke lasts. It Is usually followed by
failure of thofe benefits to put In an
appearance when mot needed.
Failure of one big tiike under union
ntisplrrs Jeopards all unions nnd that
1h why labor union ofllclals .whose pay,
perquisites and power depend upon
keeping the union hall rolling, mnnlfest
a mutuality of Interest nnd sympathy.
They are entirely within their rights in
this, but their Interest Is not alvvaj.s
the Individual toiler' Interest nnd he
had better make sure of his leader be
fore swearing blind obedience and eter
nal lldcllty.
A law- icqulrlng public Inspection of
re cords and papeis of all chartered
asseclatloni engaged In a stilke would
furnish a safeguard against Imposition
In spite of the success of M. Santos

A GLIMPSE OF
Sights and Scenes
in Historic Boston
Special Correspondence of The Tnhune
Boston. Aug 24.
DOWN ON ralem street Is Christ
church, tt stands upon one of the
hilltops of Boston, nnd Its lofty
steeple towers up toward the blue can
opy above. Till chinch Is the oldest
church building in Boston, having been
erected In 17JI. Prom the tower of this
church lanterns vveie hung by the sex
ton on the night of Aptll IS. 177r, to
signal tn Paul Bevere that the British
soldiers weie on the match nnd upon
seeing the lights he Mnrtcd upon
his famous ilde to Lexington to warn
the p.itilots of 'heir approach. Across
the Charles river la Charlestown. which
every one will want to vllt that he
may see th" great Harvnid t'niverslty
and the old elm tree under which
Washington took lommnjid of the
American army on July S, 1775 and
from thence Journey to Bunker Hill
and gaze upon Its nionumr-nt. What n
choice selection the p.itilots made when
they threw up their enti enchments on
Blinker Hill nnd preceded the plans
of the Biltlsh geneial Howe, for fiom
this hill, before the city was built up
as It now s, could be had a command
ing view of nearly all of the city of
Boston and Its hnrboi. What view the
American forces had plus what mod
ern entei prise has supplemented, can
be enjoyed by climbing to the top of
Bunker Hill monument and looking
through Its little ciate windows.
o
As you approach the monument on
one side In jour ascent of the hill you
come to a bionze i-tntue of Colonel
Willlnm Presrott surmounting n large
and hand'-ome gianlte base. As you
look upon that noble flguie It seems jou
can hear him 01 de ring his soldiers ns
he did on thnt memorable day when
the battle of Bunker Hill was fought,
and as he saw the Btltlsh i-oldleis
mnrchlng up this peillous hill he said.
"Don't fit o until oti can see the whites
of their ejes." Bunker Hill monument
Is mndo of Quint y granite, and was
elected in lsS.I. Ii is 2J1 feet high, SO
feet at the bai-e nnd lfi feet at tho top.
There aio 204 Hteps leading fiom the
base to the top.
o
A few minutes' walk will take you
down to the Chailostown navy yard,
which Is a place of great Interest, for
there Is the teceiving ship upon which
vlsltois nie dally admitted, and by
possessing passes jou can go upon
some of the equipped and commissioned
w at ships which may be llng nt the
wharves. Theie 01 e also the dry docks
of I'nele Sam, the repair shrps and the
prison where the prisoners of the navy
nre kept. One must not leave the jaid
until ho has cone nboaid that famous
old warship CorMltutinn, which won
the hurels of vlitory on moie
than on occasion, nnd upon whoe
derka hue tiol some of our greatest
naval heioes. The frigate Constitution
was launched nt Hastings' shlpynids,
now Constitution wharf, Boston, Octo
ber 21, 1707, and cost $30J,917. Her
length was 175 feet, bieadth of beam
43'i, depth of hold 14.3, and her com
plement conslste 1 of 450 officers nnd
men nnd a battery of 44 guns. I'pon
the front of her quarter r.ei K uie In
scilhed in golden letters the Immortal
wordR of Captain Lawrence. "Don't
glvo up tho ship,"
o
We tin 11 now to view a few other
buildings In Boston. Trinity church,
of which the eloquent Itev. Phlllpps
Brooks, D. D, was ome pnstoi, is a
place of gieat atttactlon beinuso It Is
a beauty In 1 hureh lonstuutlon. Near
heie Is the building of natuinl history
with Its almost countless numbers of
specimens of mlneials, animals and
birds. A few steps from this will tako
you to the building which Is tho Mecca
of all loveis of ait who aro visiting
Boston, the art gallery. The building
Itself Is n mnsslve and Imposing struc
ture, artistically designed, In linrmony
with Its purpose. Theie Is an extensive
display of Oreclan, Roman nnd Egyp
tian pottery, tapestry and sculptuio,
while the paintings, though not so
numerous as can be found In cities like
New- York and Philadelphia, nre of a
high quality. Tho new library hulld
Ing, erected in 1SS8 to 1SD5 at a cost of
THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
almost three million dollars. Is also in
this vicinity Just across the street
fiom the art gallery Boston possesses
the distinction of having the second
largest library In the world, the con
K'lSunnnl llhrary at Washington hav
ing pie-f mlnonco, The library at Bos
tun is compered of over six hundred
tbousand volumes. A recent addition
to the beautlflcatlon of this building,
-ind which so far as accomplished was
recently unveiled to tho public. Is the
pictorial Illustration on the walls of
one of the rooms of "The .Story of the
Quest of the Holy Crail, which has
been treated by poets and composers
for .1 long time, but this Is the flist
nttempt to-glvo It In a continuous pic
torl.il illustration. These paintings
were conceived and executed by IM
win A. Abbey, who displays himself
as a master In his profession. I.atei
r.u thr i.eiles will be completed by
t'ie aulst nnd placed In this loom,
vhere It will be viewed by thousands
of admirers.
o
We cannot leave Boston without
speaking of Its beautiful harbor and
the enJo.valM sail which may be had
down It uiit! also of Boston newspipers.
We spfnk of the latter because Boston
Is nit only the blithplace of liberty,
but also of Ameilean Journalism, which
has b. en 'he helping hand of American
Ilbe'tj. Theie are at present eight
great r.nlly papers with either morn
Itif.' or evening editions or both :n this
riiticiolls of New KnglnnJ.. The Bos
ton Post Is the largest circulating
morniniT paper, nnd the Boston Olnbe
h.n tne 1,11 gest circulation among the
even tig papeis. Somp of these pnpers
Hi! quite conservative, while others
nre bv'-n'-d tovvaid the sensational
and ePovv Journalistic style. Many
other papeis aie published in Poston.
;.ei.' is t'. : me of th- Youths' Com
panion, which occupies exclusively an
immense building This paper has a
circulation of 515,000, the largest circu
lation of any weekly papei In the
wot til. It employs In the, building 450
persons. AVhen this paper was found
ed in 1S27 by Nnthanlcl Willis, a vvheel-b-iiiow
was all that was lequlred to
tonvey the paper for the ill Ft Issue.
Now fifty tons of pnper are used for
one Ifrsue. In the loom wheie nre kept
the pictures iccelved for amateur ptlze
pbotogiaphy we siw the pictures made
bv Martha McDonald nnd Clara Fleitz,
of Kiranton. which won the grand prize
In last car's contest. We nlso saw nn
excellent plctuie of the ruins of tho
