the territorial treasurer in the pay
ment of the interest due on the 1st of

able either in New York or at the
Deseret National bank, and the treas

$3.50. 900 and was paid for by Christian
Scientists all over the country.
Mrs. Eddy traces her ~genealogy back

and her father, Mark Baker, was the
youngest of Is children. The old Baker
homestead of about 800 acres lay in

sembling those Of Joan Of Arc. Mrs.
Eddy became the wife Of Colonel George
Washington Glover of Charleston in
1S43. He died of yellow fever a year
later, and four months after his death
her son was born. When the boy was
4 years old, Mrs. Eddy resigned him to
the care of a former nurse and made a
second matrimonial venture, but speed
lily procured a divorce. In. 1877 she
married Asa Gilbert Eddy of Lynn,
Mass. Meanwhile her son grew to man.
hood and married before he learned that
his mother was still alive.
Mrs. Eddy asserts that i'm 1866 she
became certain that ''all causation was
mind and every effort a mental phenom-
enon." Taking her text from the Bible,
she endeavored in vain to find the great
curative principle-the Deity-in phi
losophy and schools of medicine, and
she concluded that the way of salvation
demonstrated by Jesus was the power
Of truth over all error, sin, sickness and
death. Thus originated the divine or
spiritual science of mind healing, which
she termed Christian science. Her hus-
band was her first public convert She
has a palatial Boston home and q coun-
try seat near Concord. The Christian
Science church has a membership Of
1000, and 500 of the members are Bos-
tOnianS.

financial condition is bad enough, but
not nearly so hopeless as appeared at first
blush. Even counting as lost every cent
OF the $500 900 or so embezzled by Tay-

twice as much as Lawrence county alone
and Lawrence county warrants are at

what the state would owe with every

Pierre Journal, II: Public Examiner
Meyers Is being severely criticised for
his course in the state treasury matter,
some OF his critics going SO far as to
claim that he is criminaIiy liable for an
effort to shield Taylor until he could get
away. We are inclined to think that
Mr.. Meyers was perfectly honest in
thinking that if no exposure was made
Taylor would arrange matters TO avoid q
default. When Il public official, how
ever, influenced by friendship or from
mistaken judgment fails to act immedl-
ately he takes the chances of icing more
or less OF an accessory. In this case bad
Mr.. Meyers at once informed this proper
state officials OF his fears, at least $780,
COS might have been saved to the state.
When he failed to act he staked his
official reputation on the chance of Tay-
lor's making good his shortage, and he
lost. 1t was probably only an error of
judgment but it lisa fatal one to him
and his official usefulness is gone.
