Decision Against Faith Cure Tillman Not Guilty Award of Alaskan Com mission Dowie's Campaign In New York Petrel Seizes a Fish ing Vessel. In the Now York-Pittsburg automo bile endurance run the number of en trios was 42 and the number of start ers 34. There arrived at the Pitts burg garage, after having covered tho entire distance on schedule time, 23 machines. The cars which met all of the re tirements stated, in their apparent order of merit, were as follows: No. 10, operated by George Schules; No. 15, operated by Percy P. Pierce; No. 6, operated by P. H. Demlng; No. 14, operated by Charles Shepple; No. 5, operated by Webb Jay; No. 18, op erated by Arthui Gardner; No. 16, operated by E. T. Fetch; No. 2, op erated by D. B.

The total number of points lost by the nine cars was 3,558. Of these 2, 552 were due to the cars themselves, 907 to tire trouble and 129 to road ob struction. No attempt has yet been made to tabulate the records of the 14 addi tional cars which for unavoidable causes failed to reach the garages be fore midnight. In addition to the competing cars the two pilots arrived in f Ittsburg without a mishap and ap parently In as good condition as at tho start. Decides Against Faith Cure. The court of appeals handed down a decision In the case of People vs. Plerson, declaring dependence upon faith-healing in cases of Blckness of a child to be criminal negligence. Plerson lives at White Plains, and early In 1901 was sentenced to $500 fine or 500 days imprisonment for criminal negligence in failing to pro vldo a licensed physician to attend his 10 months old adopted daughter In a case of bronchial pneumonia, which afterward proved fatal. The conviction was secured under tho penal code, which holds that "a person who omits without lawful ex cuse to perform a duty by law im posed upon him to furnish food, cloth ing, shelter or medical attendance to a minor Is guilty," etc. Justice Bartlett, In the prevailing opinion in tho appellate division, held that the "medical attendance" re ferred to in the statute does not mean exclusively the attendance of a medi cad practitioner In the general sense of the term. The appellate division reversed the conviction. In Its opinion, written by Judge Haight, the court of appeals says: "It would seem tha the legislative Intent la reasonably clear, although possibly more precise language could have been employed. "But, sitting as a court of law for the purpose of construing and deter mining the meaning of statutes, we have nothing to do with variances in religious belief and have no power to determine which Is correct. We place no limitations upon the power of the mind over the body, the power of faith to dispel disease, or the power of the supreme being to heal the sick. We merely declare the law as given us by the legislature. We find no error on the part of the trial court that called for a reversal." Trade Lacking In Demand. General trade and Industry still lacks In spur of Insistent demand which has been so conspicuously pres ent in the autumn of recent years. There are, however, some very fav orable features In the situation. The indisposition of producers to meet consumers' demands is a sign of an ability to hold, which, whether wise or not, Indicates underlying prosper ous conditions. Relatively the best trade comes from the southwest. Business is rather better in the northwest and collections show im provement, but only a moderate amount of wheat threshing has been done. Cotton is opening rapidly at the south and picking is active except in Texas, where rains Interfere with gathering and marketing. Complaints of dull trade are numer ous at the east. Trade in dry goods at New York is not up to expectations. Cotton has advanced mainly be cause of reiterated bad crop reports and a tendency to pare down esti mates. Spinners are buying sparingly Business failures for the week end ing with Oct. 16 number 203, against 203 in the like week of 1902. Prophet Dowle In New York. Five thousand persons were turned away . from the Madison Square gar don, New York, on Sunday afternoon after all the seats in the build ing had been filled with a great crowd curious to see John Alexander Dowie on his first appearance before a New York audience. Fully 11,000 persons were in the pardon when the services began with the Processional in which tho Zlon white robed choir numbering COO and the ordained officers of the Christian Catholic church in Zlon took part. After the confessional Dr. Dowle as cended th'j platform accompanied by overseers. During the prayer, singing and recital of the creed, hundreds of persons left the hall, causing much confusion, many of the vacant seats being filled from the waiting crowd outside. After he had announced his text Dr. Dowie punctuated his opening remarks with warnings to the news paper men to keep quiet and with ad monitions to certain people in the aud ience to keep their seats, and deliv ered an address which was neither Impressive nor convincing. Bonds Mostly Held at Home. The report of the register of .the treasury shows that an aggregate of $15,065,750 of the registered bonds are held by foreigners. Of this amount $3, 991,250 are credited to individuals and (11,154,500 to foreign insurance com panies. The latter amount Is on de posit In this country to secure policy holders. "The amount of United States bonds thus held by foreign Individuals," says the register, "is so insignificant that it may be said that the national credit Is entirely upheld by domestic money." Out of a total of $506,403,350 the banks have on deposit as security for circulating notes and for deposits $458,438,100, leaving to be accounted tor $48,025,250. Of the latter amount $26,732,850 are held by individuals, the balance being in the possession of various companies and societies. Tillman Not Guilty. The trial of James H. Tillman for the murder of N. O. Gonzales, editor of the State In Columbia, January 15 last, ended Thursday in an acquittal.

Mr. Tillman and his wife went to their home In Edgefield In the afternoon. After the announcement of the verdict Tillman held a reception in a local hotel. After the verdict was announced the clerk held up the pistols which had figured in the trial and offered them to the defendant, who waved them off, saying: "They are not mine." Award of Alaskan Commission.

The official announcement of this agreement will not be made till after It has been formally signed. A map defining the boundaries is being prepared and will be published later. Death of Archbishop Kaln. Most Rev. John Joseph Kaln, archbishop of St. Louis, Mo., died Tuesday night at the St. Agnes sani tarium in Baltimore, where he had been a patient since May 12.

It was announced at the foreign office in London relative to the situation In the Far East, that th3 powers having treaty rights with China will require such rights to be maintained unimpaired, whatever ar rangement Russia makes with China.
