A lino specimen of legalized snob

"bn Slade & Co., showing how
snobbish tradesmen protect their
rights manufactuers of “toffee”
(taffy), were ordered to cease
using the device or the royal arms
in advertising their candy. The
proceedings were taken by the Roy
al Warrant Holders' Association,
which consists of tradesmen holding
the .privilege of using tihe royal
arms as a sign over their premises,*
on their stationery or as an adver
tisement, etc. Such use of the roy
al arms is illegal except by trades
men who have been appointed by
royal purveyors of soap, or sauce
or sausages, to the king or the royal
family.
1 bus n kind of aristocracy of
trade has been formed, as jealous
of their privileges as tlie blue-blood
ed nobility. T<> protect, these privi

and they have the authority of the
lonl chamberlain to take proceod

RHONE ISLAND
FOR BRYAN
Providence. R. I., March 21.—
The Democratic state convention of
Rhode Island for the election of
delegates to the Denver convention
was called to order in Music Hall
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Bryan
sentiment apparently dominates the
majority of the delegates and the
Nebraskan will undoubtedly be in
dorsed as the state's choice for the
presidential nomination. The Hon.
Thomas P. Gore, the blind 'United
States senator from Oklahoma, is
a guest, of the convention and will
deliver an nddress. The Oklahoman
is a staunch friend of Bryan and
his presence will doubtless serve to
strengthen the wavering allegiance
of delegates who might otherwise
oppose the Indorsement of the Com
moner. A special committee of sev
en was appointed for the reception
and entertainment of the Oklahoma
senator during his stay here.
In a resolution pas-e-l by the
Democratic s*at< r^niral commut e
Bryan Is praised n-; “a conservator
of public peace and of every legit I
mate business Interest." ns well a
being "wisely progressive." The
resolution further state*: "It. Is
perfectly plain that the vast ma
jority of the citizens of this coun
try do not want and will no* have
as their chief executive a mat', no
mat ter what his party, to whom
term 'reactionary' can be applied."

The proper study of mankind is
man. and U, has seldom been mor.'
entertainingly done than In th**
“Lire of Mrs. Eddy ’ in McClure *.
The April number relate* the his
tory of the famous Woodbury trial,
which brought to light many cu
rious fact* about Christian Science.
“Mrs. Woodbury and her *<ii
dents lived In a kind of miracle-play
of their own; had Inspiration* and
revelations and premonitions; kept
mental trv*ta; saw portent* and
mystic meanings in everything; and
spoke of God as coming and going,
agreeing and disagreeing with
them.
“Six months before the birth of
Prince, Mr*. Woodbury paid a visit
to Mr*. Eddy, and »he seem* to im
ply that the venerable leader oracu
larly foretold the coming of her
child. 'In January, * write* Mrs.
Woodbury, 'I enjoyed a visit with
my evorbeloved teacher, who gave
comfort in these words, though at
the moment they were not received
In their deeper Import; ‘Go home
and be happy. Commit thy ways
unto the Lord. Trust Him, and He
will bring it to pass.’ This may
have suggested to the faithful the
Visit of Mary to Elisabeth; but if
there wax any miracle-play of thin
sort In progress Mrs. Eddy certainly
had no intention of playfcig Eliz
abeth to Mrs. Woodbury's Mary.
When word was brought her or the
birth of Mrs. Woodbury'B 'little Im
manuel.’ as he was often called, she
was far from being convinced. ’Child
of light ' she exclaimed indignantly.
‘She knrows It !b an imp of Satan.’
“Mr*. Eddy was the more vexed
with Mrs. Woodbury because she
herself had undoubtedly taught that.
In the future, when the world had
attained a larger growth in Chris
tian Science, children would be con
ceived by communion with the Di
vine mind; but she probably had no
Idea that any one of her students,
ambitious to 'demonstrate over ma
terial claims.’ would actually at
tempt to put this theory into prac
tice.”
