Murray Comedy Company. The monarch of repertoire, J. Rus. : Smith, presenting the Murray Comedy company Is due In the city soon. The - organization is stronger than ever - and consists of eighteen people. It is a good popular priced company and the specialties, of which there are a great number, are of high order. The company will appear here for a week, commencing Monday, Oct. 21. The opening bill "Angle, The Country Girl" Is a comedy drama bristling with startling climaxes and comedy. The enviable reputation the company has gained throughout the country will be more than sustained this season, it is said and it is claimed better plays have never been presented at popular prices. Vaudeville at the Phillips. A glance at the bill that has been prepared for this week at the New Phillips in vaudeville, will be sufficient to convince those familiar with such subjects that a treat is in prospect for the patrons of the house. Special interest attaches to the appearance of the mysterious Fontlnella, which has created a considerable furore at other places on the vaudeville circuits and it appears that all have been baffled by the remarkable nature of this creation, doubt existing as to whether it is .real or make-believe. There is little doubt but what Fontlnella will be sufficient to get the Phillips big business, to say nothing of the remainder of the bill. Below is the complete program for the week: " Overture Miss Grace Miller. Burke and Urline, "The Automobile Girls," in conversation and songs. Chris Christopher, yodel singer and novelty violinist.

WILL A Scene From "Ruined Lives," Which Comedy GRAND JURY FLAYS THE STATE E Refuses to Indict County Infirmary Officers. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CASE. Hamilton, O., Oct . 19. The Butler county grand jury refused to indict officials of the Butler county infirmary, accused by State Examiners Bliss and Brown of the bureau of inspection and supervision of public offices. Not ronly did the jury fail to indict, but it took the unusual step of criticising the state examiners iri its report, alleging that they were not entirely fair and impartial in their report to the auditor of state. The famous Christian science case, in which Coroner Schumacher eharged i Miss Nellie Freshman, head of the lo1 cal Christian science church and a leading practitioner, and other persons i with criminal responsibility for the ' death of young Waldo Kennel of Tren ton, was ignored entirely. Sixteen indictments were found. One was that of Charles r. Ciscle, a prominent business man, who must stand trial on a charge of failure to provide for an indigent and infirm parent. Mr. Ciscle recently quarreled with his brother over the support of their mother. Stephen Simpson, who caused the death of Fred Beatty by a blow of his fist, was indicted for assault and battery. Two indictments were found against Freda Krause, a Wood-street woman, for shooting to kill. Beauty. Beauty Is not an accident of things. It pertains to their essence; it pervades the wide range of creation, and wherever it is impaired or banished we have in this fact the proof of the moral disorder which distrusts the world. Reject, therefore, the false philosophy of those who will ask what does It matter, provided a thing be useful, whether it be beautiful or not. Gladstone.

CONCRETE RELIGION OF THE BODY VERSUS ABSTRACT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, SO-CALLED.

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he Js Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands." The Acts 17: 24. Editor Palladium: 'More in sorrow than in anger' we learn of friend Easterday's anxiety to j terminate this discussion, and that ha fain would '"eschew controversy;" ve. quite agree that the controversial Is J sadly lacking in his articles; we also note that his "sole mission is to cor-j rect misstatements and misapprehea- i sions concerning christian science teaching." Judging from the numerous misunderstandings, quarrels anl suits in court, "christian science teaching," like its author, is peculiarly beset at every step with "misstatements and misapprehensions." It seems, as it were afflicted with a neurasthenic supersensuousness to criticism. Your real reforms and reformers are made of "sterner stuff." In Lis desire that the Palladium "could reasonably terminate this discussion" with his last cartridge, our urbane friend of "the christian science committee of publication," again enlists the writer's sympathy; he recalls at this moment how fondly he welcomed the commander's order "cease firing," when out of amunition on the firing line at the battle of Chicamauga. While It is quite evident that this discussion is becoming burdensome to friend Easterday, nevertheless we ' opine that the Palladium would "rea-j sonably" accord to Its many self-think-1 ing readers, who would not esteem it in 1 the least unprofitable or burdensome if he would devote his ready pen to a candid, rational and logical discussion of a few of the vital contensions the i writer has made in this discussion and ' in answer to which your readers have 1 witnessed only dodging of the issues, begging the question, with abstract assertions and insinuations with no attempt to back them up with concrete facts and truths. I am sure that if he only will "fall to something of more serious note," such for instance, as the following, the public would not Le dangerously perforated: The terms divine mind and divine healing, are not mentioned in the bi ble; tell us how it is possible for God j to have a mind without a material organized brain, and why is it not only materialistic, but rank pantheism to speak of the creator as possessing a mind? Who created "Adam a synonym for evil?" according to Mrs. Eddy. Who created "the first Adam, of the earth, earthy?" Who created mate rial man with an organized brain and i sequent mortal mind? If "christian science is really divine healing, it must j be the same miraculous power by which Jesus wrought, and which he' delegated to his Immediate disciples jn the following language, "Heal the sick, raisa the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give. Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purse." Then why does not "christian science" depopulate our grave yards and cemeteries? If really divine, it could raise the dead as well as heal the sick. If evil is not the absence of good, then what is it? If darkness is not the opposite or absence of light, then what is It? If what we call sickness is not a benevolent effort of the life entity or vital force to resist and elim inate from the system substances and influences inimical to life and health, then what Is it? It would be much better for his candor if Mr. Easterday would, instead of the bare assertion, calculated like his philosophy, to mislead the uninformed, refer your readers to some work of any standing or authority among scientific men, or used as a text book in colleges and universities that "completely ex plodes" the atomic theory of matter. or contains any other than the reasonof science have made in all branches. Positive or Physical Philosophy, and Abstract or Metaphysical Philosophy. If Mr. Stanhope Easterday could be induce;! to lift his mental vision from the Eddy bible, and with his material eyes and 'mortal mind" read and think for himself, he could become informed as to the history of positive or physical philosophy and the birth of science; that before the birth of positive or material philosophy and the physical sciences, all was purely speculative philosophy; but since the time of Lavoisier (about 1772). Dalton (1S10), Comte (1S57), positive philosophy and science have rapidly evoluted from these foundation principles, until today our splendid system of physical sciences and their respective, positively demonstrated philosophies stand a grand monument to human intellect, and Mrs. Eddy's "mortal mind." The Atom the Scientist's Working Unit. While it is true that the atom of matter is purely hypothetical never- ! theless, It is a metaphysical fact, dem-i onstrated by millions upon millions of i chemical experiments and inter- j changes, by millions of scientists, for 97 years; the atom stands today as the chemists and general physicist's working unit, as much a verity as the hypothetical location of stars and planets hundreds, of years

before the discovery of the telescope verified their theoretical location. Mrs. Eddy's Dogmatic Exegesis. Patiently, candidly and as unbiased as within us lies, we have read Mrs. Eddy's book. "Science and Health, wiih Key to the Scriptures." Instinctively one is reminded of Webster's reply to the woman who complained to him of the many obscene words in his

dictionary: "Madam, you were looking for them." While denying their existence, she is constantly looking for the horrid "dust of the ground." mnteri.i n,nn r,.i -mortal mn1

As we admitted in the outset of these articles, "christian science," in so far as it divests the sick of a panicky fear and apprehension of disease as a demoniacal entity, a ghostly dagger of the mind, proceeding from the heat oppressed brain, "to fright the souls of fearful adversaries," in so far as it thus relieves the mind of mental worry and distress, which constitutes more than two-thirds of all our ailments, and misfortunes, it does a world of good; add to this an indefl-! nite and empiric drug-prescribing and over-treatment with contralndicated medicines by the legitimate medical profession, and which, none realize. lament, and are ard' overcome and with encouraging sue cess, than the medical profession themselves; then again add to this, the silver tongued patent medicine fraud and the poor dosed and drenched and doped, dolorus and disgusted sick, little thinking and caring less whether It is "divine" or devilish healing, turn to "christian science" for surcease and nepenthe from over-treatment with virulent drugs and patent nostrum-surfeltage when the loyal and benevolent life-entity or vital force, unhandicapped with meddlesome medical dosage and mental strain, speedily restores health and vigor to the body, contentment and cheerfulness to the mind, "and they lived happy ever after." Now to all this, again add the "part of the people that you can fool part of the time, and some of the people that you can fool all the time," then throw In the monstrous inherent, hereditary credulity and gullability of mankind generally, and little wonder that the earthly garners are overflowing with the "fruitage" of so-called f "christian science healing" until theyi must perforce mar their spirituality with horrid material matter to build greater.

The writer bears no ill will for this cult; on the contrary he has many earnest conscientious christian science friends whom he greatly esteems, who really believe it to be divine healing of the sick, or in other words a direct and special dispensation of God.
