A TALK ABOUT FAITH CORE.

Terre Haute's New Practitioner in the New Science Interviewed.

HE EXPLAINS THE THEORY AND THE PRACTICE.

How Men are Made Whole Under the Doctrine Founded on Modern Science.

Spiritualism and mesmerism have had many followers in Terre Haute in years gone by. There was a time, and that not many years ago, when this city was famous the world over for its mediums and seancee, and when strong believers in spiritualism came hundreds of miles to join in the mysterious workings of their fellow believers here. But in later years there has been a marked decline so far as active workings have gone, and row but occasional seances, and these not of an unusually startling nature, are heard of. Spiritualism and animal magnetism are known the country over as the battling elements against the imrir nf hhe christian scientist physician, and consequently

fte

recent

arrival of a

christiaa scientist in this city, a Btrong hold of the "dragon" as they choose to term spiritualism, was of immense interest,. Indianapolis has been Indiana headquarters for christian Bcientests for some time, but until a few weeks ago none of the scientests have been here. A few days ago, however, the following card was received:

J. W. JAJNES,

CHUISTIAN SCIENTIST.

610 Ohio Street. (Over.)

Terre Haute, lnd.

On the back of the card were fourteen reasons why all should avail tlj^maelves of mental healing. They were as follows:

Because with God all things are possible. Because Is a step outside of drugging, hence a greater blessing to the race.

Because your 11. D.'s think there Is not much chance for recovery. Beoiuse Its mental application cures where drugs fall, proving metaphyslc above physic.

Because you have suffered many things of many physicians. Because It relies not on hygiene, mesmerism, metflumshlp or manipulation.

Because It does not cure physically without helping morally. Because you have failed to recelye benefit from the minor hosts of tlm healing art.

Because our Saviour and his students recommended no other thenepsutlc science. Because all true liwalth, happiness and harmony are of (rod, the principle of man.

Because the cause of disease Is expunged from the mind. It never appears again. Because it Is the understanding of spiritual over material, mind over matter

Because It Is not necessary to have faith In Its efficacy to produce health. Because experience proves that patients are succassfully treated at a ulstance.

An EXPRESS reporter sought Mr Jaynes for an interview and asked what success he had been having with patients. "I have had wry few patients since my arrivul a few weeks ago, fewer than expected. I found that the people in Terre Haute have a wrong conception of christian science. Science has been introduced here and always spoken of as spiritualism or animal magnetism. This is wrong. Christian science is the truth as taught by Christ and his apostles. It is founded upon the teachings of the four apostles and the writings of Paul contain the whole of science. The principle as taught by Christ was a spiritual understanding ot the relations between man and his Creator, God. Jesus said: "To know me right is life eternal." That goes to show that man is mind, intelligence, and not flesh and blood.

Christian sconce, when properly understood, will be accepted because it is truth, and there is but pne truth. Truth is the magnet to which all are drawn. Every postulate starting from a material standpoint is wrong, for God is a spirit. JeBUs said that ilesh and blood were just the opposite. Then this understanding is truth, a special intuitive faculty, and cannot be described by the material senses, or material mind. Science will demonstrate itself because it has a principle which is infallible, and never changes. Jesus said: "Heal the sick my truth will make you free." Our science is founded on a spiritual basis, the foundation of which is that all truth, life, substance and intelligence is of God. If God is mind, all is God. Mind is the basis of all thing?, and all is mind. We have only one enemy to fight, and that is animal magnetism and mesmerism, which is known as spiritualism. Spiritualism has spread everywhere before us, and its hold in this city is hard to overcome. In our treatment we allow the miud to govern the body instead of the body governing the mind. The body is but the manifestation of the material mind, and it is with the material mind that spiritualism deals." "What is your method of treatment?" was asked. "The treatment is silent. I audibly explain after the treatment what causes disease and how to ward it off. There is no oouversati(M3 during the treatment. I endeavor to lead them to an understanding of the truth through the word of God. By truth is error driven out, and all pain is error. All error comes from the same source." "Have you accomplished any cure since your arrival?" "A few, but none of them were serious troubles. The first night I was in the city a lady was suffering from rheumatism. I cured her entirely, as she has not felt* it since that time, about four weeks ago. Then I had a young man suffering from terrible headaches. He was cured in a very short time. I have one or two cases under treatment now, and if you wish you may talk to them."

The doctor left the room and returned with three ladies, each of whom had been either under his treatment or had engaged in conversation with him. The first lady was suffering from tumor when she heard of the doctor, and she believed herself to have been very greatly benefited. The doctor had cured her of a very bad cough and sore eyes. "Do you think your cure will be complete?" "Indeed I do," she replied. "When I first came I could scarcely walk across the floor, and now I am able to walk quite freely."

The second lady said she had no faith in the christian scientist that is, she didn't understand it, and had disputed the doctor since he first began talking with her. Her home is in Chicago, and she arrived in this city some weeks ago on her way South for change of climate. She was suffering from consumption, and had a distressing oough. Each night she was compelled to wear a compress or something of the kind, to secure rest. The trouble was of about one year's standing. She has only talked with the doctor, but now firmly believes she is well. Her cough is gone, and her voice is clear.

The third lady said she had been suf-

'SfvjAWiit'- jSlmS'U

*"i'

fering for a long time, but the doctor had cured her, and she felt several years younger. "When they say I have cured them" interrupted the doctor, "they mean that my understanding has cured them. I want you to clearly understand that the christian science is entirSly different from 'faith cure.' Faith cure is of the material mind? In christian science it is not necessary that the patient have faith. In case of the patient doubting my understanding takes the place of his. In Indianapolis I cured a stiff ankle of twettty years standing, and all through the treatment the patient persisted that she had no belief." "How were you attracted to the science "By witnessing the complete cure from consumption of a friend about three years ago. While in conversation with the doctor at that time I was cured of the tobacco desire and Bright's disease. Since then I have not used tobacco in any form, and never experienced a recurrence of my other troubled' I prepared for the work by taking a course of lectures and study. My teacher. Mr. J. P. Filbert of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was in the city last week, but was called to Evansville to take up some of the work there. He travels continually and devotes himself wholly to instruction in science." •'Do you find fault with churches?' "No, not in any way. We cannot expect to be benefitted by doing this, and look only to advancement through truth* for truth will be

known."

THE IJL'KINLKY CLUBBING.

What the Saturday Mall Says About tha Brutal Affair.

The following is from yesterday's Mail: The police have been severely censured this week for a brutal clubbing administered to Martin McKinley, the well-known seoond-hand dealer on east Main street. McKinley is a jovial, whole souled fellow, who has hosts of friends, When he indulges in drink he is boisterous but good-natured. He was noisy near Fifth and Ohio streets Saturday night and the patrol wagon was called. McKinley got into his wagon and started home when the police arrived. They would not allow him to proceed—the dignity of their positions demanded his arrest. McKinley was told he was wanted he consented to go willingly. Then the strong hands of the coppers we-e laid upon him for fear he might escape. McKinley resisted being led by the officers. Words followed and a fight ensued. McKinley, who is physically onb ef the best men in the city, was knocked down and while prostrate was clubbed about the head and body most outrageously and unmercifully. He was placed in jail and orders given, not to release him. Captain Murphy could not be found he was not at police head quarters. It was morning before McKinley's release was obtained by his friends, who had spent the night in curing it. He was taken home by Dr. Roberts in his buggy and has since been confined to his bed, his condition for a time being considered dangerous. The police, of course, seek to justify their brutality on the ground that McKinley resisted arrest. Bat one statement from their side of the case needs be cited. Chief Clerk Dwyer, who was present, Bays he threw up his arm to protect McKinley, while the officers were using their clubs, and received the blows that were directed at McKinley. This is in itself a statement which characterizes the clubbing as unwarranted. McKinley is a prominent I. O. O. F., and members of the order have taken the affair in hand. It is to be hoped that it will be sifted to the bottom, and that those who are to blame will be dealt with according to the part they took in it. A clubbing which almost resulted in death should not be passed by without thorough investigation. Eye witnesses of the arrest cried "Shame! shame!" but the clubs continued to fall on McKinley's head. Said one police officer: "There was no occasion for the clubbing. I have made hundreds of arrests and have never been compelled to beat a man up." The general opinion is that the police exceeded their authority and went beyond all reason. The question arises, anj such men worthy of their positions?

POLYTECHNIC N0TK8.

Bachelor Babcock.

The following is one of many proposals received by Bachelor Babcock, who was made heir to 8500,000 provided he marries within five years:

ALLKonitsr CITT, Pa„ January 2Mb Uy dear Mr. B., Tour prospect*, sir, Are Just now making quite a stir So many letters you nave got from those who wish to share your lot, That I will boldly vesture too. My form Is tall, large and straight, I always walk In my own gait My eyes are dark, so Is my hair. The latter, though. setting spare But with your wealth I be quite rich And oft could buy a brand new switch. To see my feet you would proclaim That I was a Chicago dame My hands are large and broad and red. My face Is, too, some have said. But if my heart is full of love. So let me come and be your dove. My Pittsburg home I'd gladly leave And never more for It would grieve. A wife, there never would be such, And all that money firmly clutch. My heart In rapture turns to thee. Oh, quickly, quickly, send for me.

Viola.

STRAY INFORMATION.

There is an association of congenial spirits now in the first stages of happy existence, among some of the young men in the city, which bids fair to, very shortly, outrival the "Gastronomical" club. The club was organized some weeks ago under the very high-sounding name of "The Johns' Red-Headed League." The membership and proceedings of the league are expected be kept secret, but the information was given that it is a social organization The members are known outside meetings only as John No. 1, John 10 and so on. The atmosphere sur rounding the league is one of mystery, and the following list of officers only serve to deepen it:

John No. 7—High Muckamuck. John No. 1—Vice Muckamuck. John No. 4—High Nuser. John No. 3—High Scribbler.

The league is to have its first recep tion to-morrow evening at Gleeson'L hall, and the invitations issued last week are indeed novel. The first thing presented to view on opening the envelope is a huge stamp of a

Bkull

and cross

bones, and after going over a very polite invitation the eye falls upon this: "You are hereby compelled to attend our first annual ball at the place and time above stated. Absence from the city death the only acceptable cuses." Invitations are not transferable and only those thus favored are expected to attend. The committee will appear in uniform of a huge star badge and profusion of ribbon, aud will see to it that all who attend made miserable. A prize will awarded the best lady dancer of the evening. Several dayB ago the league had a small informal gathering at a pri vate residence in honor of a visiting friend from a town near by. The even ing was made enjoyable in m.any respects, and as the gentleman's departing time approached, a red-headed John went to the telephone, and with great ceremony ordered a hack. The guest protested that the kindness was too much, that he had not expected it. But the Johns insisted. In a short time a burly form (a disguised John) called gruffly at the door, "Hack." The Johns caught up the guest's satchel, rushed out, threw them in the waiting vehicle, and a select committee following hoisted the friend into one of the most rickety fish wagons with one of the leanest horses attached, that have been recently seen. Out they etrrted at a good pace, and with tin horns blowing frightened the poor horse into a gallop, and reached the Union depot in time to catch the train, and greatly amaze a policeman who happened to be in the neighbor hood on duty.

The recent communication of Ad jutant General Ruckle to the Terre Haute rifles that their application would receive his earliest attention has re suscitated the enthusiasm that inspired the organization of the company. The fact that amendments to the state militia laws are now pending before the legis lature and that the adjutant general will postpone action until these amendments shall be disposed of is so much the better for the proposed company because the amendment requires a smaller number of men than the present law, and also proposes remunerative induce ment for c&riain occasions. There is a sufficient number of names now enrolled, but some of the applicants for membership may be rejected, because the adjutant general is expected to be very exacting as to phyeical requirements, There are sixty names on the roll now, which will make it possible for several applicants to be rejected and yet enough remain to secure the company, and, if the proposed amendments to the law should prevail, more than twenty of the applicants can be rejected and a sufficient number remain. Secretary Carr is of the opinion that within a very short time the Terre Haute rifles will be a regularly organized company in the state malitia and will be drilling. The following statistics concerning Indiana's military men will be of interest: There are in the active military service of Indiana, 1,518 privates, 1 general com manding, 14 generals of the staff, 27 regimental, field and staff officers commissioned, 114 company officers commissioned, and 78 musicians, aggregating 2,045. The number of Indiana's men available for military duty is stated at 468.885.

The society young men of Terre Haute have been directing their footsteps and attentions to neighboring towns, for the past few months, and, as usual when boys get away from home a few times at first, some of them have not found smooth sailing. Last Monday morning a young man whose vocation calls him to the court house, returned by the first mail a door key belonging to a citizen of Brazil, whose daughter had entertained him the previous evening. Abseutmindedness was his only excuse for the uncommon occurrence. Another young man, who had gone to Brazil the same evening, and expected to be entertained by one of Brazil's belles, was surprised and embarrassed to be met at the door of her home by her father, and informed that she had gone to Indianapolis, and had left the city on the same train that brought the Terre Hautean into town. Thus was he thrown into a strange land and among a strange people and was compelled to spend the evening at the hotel waiting for the return train, his only amusement being at checkers.

The postponed meeting of the Terre Haute literary society, which should have been held on the 11th, will occur to-morrow night. Professor W. H. Wiley will read a poem on "Samuel Johnson." By a strange coincidence this was the subject discussed before the Hoosier literary club on Tuesday evening last. There was no knowledge on the part of the young men's club that the subject was to be presented before the senior organization, however. The older society has been, in many respects, a model for the young men and its long success gives promise of success for them. This paper by Mr. Wiley was delayed by the lecture of Professor Morse on "Evolution" on the 11th.

THE CATTLE MKN'IJ COMBINE.

They Propose to ATold the ComulHilax Men and Packing Houses. KANSAS CITY,

February 22.—Repre­

sentatives of the stock raising industry from nearly every state and territory west of the Mississippi river and from Illinois and Kentucky, practically completed a work of vital importance to cattle men at the Midland hotel to-day after a three day's session. For a long time the cattle men have thought they were losing money through a combine between the commission men and the large packing houses which resulted in the sale of their cattle at ridiculously low pricea. The scheme of.forming an immense commission company composed of the

Btock

raisera themselves, has been broached, and a month or so ago a meeting was held here attended by leading cattle men of the West for the purpose of taking the opening steps preparatory to such action, but little was accomplished at the first meeting and an adjournment was taken to February 20, when the meeting again convened in this city. To-day the work was practically finished and the meeting adjourned until Monday, March 4, when the election of officers of the new commission will take place. It was decided to incorporate the company as "American Live Stock Commission Company," with a capital stock of §150,000, and headquarters at Kansas City and Chicago. The incorporators will be Sam Lazarus, of Texas, A. Gregord, of Illinois and Nicholas T. Eaton and Thomas B. Bugby, of Kansas City. The articles of incorporation will be filed at Springfield, 111., on March 2nd. The idea of the promoters of this movement is to enable them Bell their stock at the highest price and with the. least expense possible and with that end in view, headquarters will be established at Kansas City and Chicago, with branches at Wichita, Kansas, Ft. Worth, Texas, and possibly Omaha, where stock will be received and sold on the commission plan. The new company will not confine its business to its members but will receive stock from non-members and will do a general stock commion business on a large scale.

W0NDEKFUL SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES.

Dr. Schlagenfcrst, of Copenhagen, has written a paper remonstrating against the English expression, "Swearing like a Pyrite." He shows very conclusively that pyrites do not swear.

A committee appointed in Paris to investigate the subject of suicide, states that the surest method of modern times

is to swallow a teaspoonful of prusaio acid and jump into the ocean. Ohmic resistance of conductora increases directly with their length and inversely with their weight. For this reason the electric surface-car conductors will be instructed to exclude ohma from the cars of the company along with drunken men and lunatics.

The ability of a subpoena to attract bodies from great distances baffles the scientists, who can not understand why a subpoena, having no attractive qualities, Aould be endowed with the power to bring or draw men from distances of one thousand miles and upward.

The people of Kansas have managed to obtain a much-needed rainfall by means of a cannonade. This scientific means is good as far as it goes, but it does not suffice on all occasions.
