His skull was crushed in the foil, and he died about an hour after. The events of the last few days in connection with the trial of the three men already have cost three lives, those of William Boyd, shot while doing his duty as a police of­ ficer; Jones, fatally injured while trying to escape from the hack conveying him to jail; and now Rut- ledge, who killed himself to avoid the gallows.

The famous libel suit of Mrs. Josephine Woodbury against the foun­ der of Christian Science came to a sudden and almost dramatic sion at Boston Wednesday, when the jury, without leaving their seats, re­ turned a verdict for the defendant. From the very first it has been appar­ ent that It was a hopeless task to provs that some particular person was in­ tended to be stigmatized by a quota­ tion of one of the highly figurative passages of Revelation, and after vain­ ly trying to extract something that would help their cause from unwilling Witnesses, the prosecution threw up its ' * * j- MART BAKER G. EDDY, so to speak, and the judgs MRS. hands, called time, declaring that no case had been mado out against Mrs. Eddy. The Wednesday session began by Mr. Peabody, for the prosecution, continu­ ing his argument and declaring that Mrs. Eddy had established a religious trust and that she personally con­ trolled every branch of the Christian Science movement This Mr. Elder denied on behalf of his client, declar­ ing that all the evidence that had been adduced went to show that with ad­ vancing years she had relieved herself of the cares tnd responsibility of the active affairs of the church and it was for this purpose that she had turned over to trustees the Christian Science Journal and Sentinel. The night pre­ vious Judge Bell had taken into con­ sideration the "correspondence between Mrs. Eddy and Mr. and Mrs. Wood­ bury, and the remainder of the letters were admitted and read. Witness S. J. Hanna bad been a county judge at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and was now a student of Christian Science. Mr. Hanna said he was first reader of the church subject*to Mrs. Eddy's approval, a^ provided by a by­ law. He is editor of the Christian Science Journal and of the Sentinel. Mr. Peabody handed him a copy of the May (1899) Arena, and called his at­ tention to an article in it, written by Mrs. Woodbury. Over this article the lawyers had a long argument as to its admissibility, Mr. Elder, for the de­ fense, alleging irrelevancy of the arti­ cle to the promise of Mr. Peabody that he would connect Mrs. Eddy with the excommunication of Mrs. Woodbury.

Instead of the confident pre­ dictions of 6,000,000 and over, the re­ turns so far completed indicate less than 5,550,000. The evidence points to the shortage as due to the steadily di­ minishing percentage of births, which in Ontario is now too well established to be disputed, and the continued emi­ gration of Canadians to the United States.
