The translation, "touch me not," gives a false impression; the verb does not mean to "touch," but to "hold on to," and 'cling to." I am not yet ascended -Mary appears to have held Him by the feet and. worshipped Him. Jesus says in effect: "Spend no longer time with me now I ane not going im- mediately to heaven, you will have sev- eral opportunities of seeing Inc again; but go and tell my disciples that I am, by and by, to ascend to ray Father and God, who is your Father and God also; therefore let them take courage." - Clarke.

Mary was the first to see Jesus and the first to pro- claim His resurrection. This special mes- sage was clearly given to the woman who held His feet.-Pul. Com. St. Mark tells us (chap. xvi. 11) that the apostles could not believe what she said. "They seem to have considered it as an effect of her troubled imagination." But they believed when they saw the Lord. IV. Jesus appeals to the apostles (vs. 19-23.)

Harrieburg, l'a., May 22. -The coro- ner's jury to -day returned a verdict ex- onerating the Pennsylvania Railway Co. from any blame for the South Harris- burg disaster last Thursday, in which 22 lives were lost and more than 100 persons were injured. The jury finds that the cause of the aecident was the result of applying the air brakes to the freight train in order to stop it, so that it would not collide with the shifting engine. "The shift- ing crew with its tram was properly on the track," the verdict says. and, so far as the jury can learn, was guilty ne negligence." The juryfinds that "by reason of ap- plying the air brakes on the freight train two ears of the said train, one of which contained 20,000 pounds of rock- chitif Westing powder, were thrown upon the westbound track just as the Cleveland and Cincinnati express was 'going westward and ran into the two cars. Fire from theterrine of the pas- senger train set fire to the powder and eau. -ed a teliale explosion, which, to- gether with fire from some unknown eource, burned all passenger and Pull- man cars.' The jury save that the freight train was pi operly equipped with air brakes, and that no human agency could have stopped the passenger cars from run- ning into the wreck. - .t CLIMBER FELL FROM CRAIG.

Mr. E. E. A. DuVernet appealed for the Crown, and Mr. Hamilton Cassels, K. C., aud Mr. T. C, Robinette, H. C., appeared for the defendants. The four defendants are Mrs. Sarah eloeilfellow, the mother of the deceased, and Mrs. Isabella Grant, Mrs. Elizabeth See and William Brun- dette, supposed to have acted at, one time or another during Wallace Goodfel- low's sickness as "beaters." It is charged "that they did =lawfully conspire on Jan. 4 and other days to deprive Wallace Goodfellow of the necessaries of life, to wit, proper medicines and nursiag, where- by death was caused." arr. Cassels opened the first legal t the retee by asking for a reserved raw, on the ground that Police Magee:trate Denison had committed the defendants for trial on a charge of man- slaughter, on which the jury had found "no bill." In the new indictment it. was not alleged that the defendants were in any way liable to provide proper medical care and nursing for the deceased. Justice Magee granted the reserve ease, but said he did not bold out any hope that the argument would be sus- tained by the bigher court. "By the look of it," continued his lordship, "it was a conspiracy to effect a cure by unlawful means." Mr. Du Vernet, in his address to the jury, sarcastically scored the beliefs of the defendants, who, according to the book written by Mrs. Eddy, said no healing could be effected except by the mind. There was no sickness except that brought by divine power. "The healers," continued Mr. Du Vernet, "are to make no unnecessary enquh.ies about the disease Lem which the patient sup- poses himself or herself to be suffering. If it is consumption tell them that all hemorrhages are merely beliefs and should be treated as an error of the mind. All this, of course, is against the rules of common sense. The first thing a doctor does is to diagnose a case. It :is all right wben a person attempts to heal his own sickness, but it is against the law when they attempt to force any person to take tbeir treatment. They have overstepped the line and they are amenable to the law." Mr. Du Vernet went on to describe this particular case, in which the young man, just over age, died of typhoid fever. His wife, to whom he had been mar- ried only about two months, was re- fused permission to see or attend him. Medical attendance was refused, and the young man encouraged to walk around and eat as he liked, alt of which combined caused death. Dr. Bruce L. Riordan testified that he attended Wallace Goodfellow in his ca- pacity as chief surgeon for the G. T. R., for which the young man was working, until ordered to desist by William Brun- drette and Mrs. Goodfellow. He did not obey this order until this was con- firmed by tne sick one. In reference to this order Da Riordan said in answer to a, question eiut by a juror that he did not think the yoerg man wae cap- able ab this stage of tee typhohl to tell whether medical attendance was desired or not. On the court resuming after the ad- journment, Dr. Riordan was submitted to a long and somewhat tedious cross- examination by Mr. Casse)a. The wit- ness answered a number of questions as to the practice of medical men. Asked whether his was a philanthropic call- ing, he gave a qualified answer in the • neeative. - • „ race of a tthe drive 'Airs.

He asked Mr. Brundrette what was the trouble with the young man, and the reply was: "He is very ill in bed, bathed in pers- piration and very weak." On going to the house witness found the deceased in a very small, dark room. He was in a serious condition. Wieness said to two women standing in the doorway: "How is it the man Inc got as sick as this without medical attendance?" and the answer given him was, "He has had medical attendance up to seven or eight days ago. He could not afford to have it tenger." Dr. Johnson, Chief Coroner, who made the post-moretm examination, described the condition of the body. He said that to give a typhoid patient fruit, as had been done by the relatives of the deceased, would increase the virulence of the attaek.

It was 0.15 p.m., when Mr. Du Vernet finished his address, and Justice Magee at once commenced to eum up. His Lordship said with Christian Science they liad practically nothing to do that day. If the jury came to the conclusion that the medical care was "a accessary of life," the question was not Whether the defendants were disciples of Chris- tian Science, but wliether they so acted in concert, as to deprive this young man of meeical enre. It was no defence in the eye of the law that because a man believed a certain thing that therefore be must be relieved from his liability to the law, The fact of the defendants hoping for the best was no justification in - the eyes of the law. His Lordship gave an exhaustive review of all the facts as given in evidence, and his ad- dress occupied nearly an hour. He urge ed the jury to give the case proper at- tention. "It is a most important case." he said, 'important to these people themselves, who believe in these 1m - trines; important to the public, whose members may sometimes be subje.t to it by treatment of it in cases in wheel there may be results such as have oc- curred here." t THAT ASTRAL BODY. -Gilbert Parker's Hallucination Corrobor- ated in British House of Commons. London, May 22. -Sir Gilbert Parker, who claims to have seen the astral body of Sir Carne Basch in the House of Commons while the latter was ill at his home, is receiving corroboration of hie extraordinary hallucination. Sir Arthur Hayter writes as follows: "I beg to say that I not only saw Sir Crane Ras& myself sitting below the gangway, but I called him to the at- tention of Sir Henry Campbell -Banner- man, with whom I was talking on the front Opposition benches, saying I won- dered why all the papers had inserted notices of Sir Carne's illness while he was sitting opposite apparently quite well. Sir Henry replied that he hoped his illness was not .catching." It seems that this is not tbe first instance of the sort that has occurred in the House. In 1897, Mr. O'Connor, an Irish member, went to Ireland to be present at the deathbed of one of his parents. Swift McNeill saw his wraith in his usual seat on the third Opposition bench. It was also seen from the press gallery Thirty years ago a member who was abroad suffer- ing from an acute malady, received an urgent five -line whip. He replied that he would attend the House at what- ever cost to his health. The House divided on the matter at issue, and the division lobby letters saw the member and counted his vote. The next day it was found that the number of votes recorded by the division clerks was one less than given by the lobby clerks, and on the list of the former this particular name did not appear. At the time the division was taken the member was dead. -43 REGULATION OF AUTOS.
