VERDICT FOR MRS. EDDY.
Mrs. Woodward Loses Her Suit
Against Christian Science
Leader.

Boston, June TT have examined
this libel very carefully, both while the
arguments were going on and during
the trial. think the plaintiff has sus-
tained her case, as l have already in
timated, upon the matter of publica-
tien. AS regards the publication Ill
the church, there is no evidence that
anyone there understood the alleged
libel as applying to the plaintiff, 30
that she could not recover damages
upon this court because she had shown
no injury from it.
Taking the libel itself, see notf1-
ing which can i'll any fair way be said
to indicate the plaintiff in the first part
of the libel. The only thing in the IL
bel, 1t seems to me, which by any rea-
sonable Interpretation can be said to
serve as means Of identification are the
words widow and 'widowhood,' which
occur In the latter part of the message.
II have come to the conclusion that
even that reference does not absolute
to me that the plaintiff has not made
out n case which can let go to the
jury. I shall therefore be obliged to
order verdict for the defendant"
| With these words, in the superior
court, Judge Chas. U. Bell yesterday af-
pected end the famous $150,00O libel
suit, brought by Mrs. Josephine Curtis
Woodbury.. of Boston, against Mary
Baker Eddy, of Concord, N. H., foun-
der and present head of the Christian
| Science church.
| few minutes later the jury, which
had been excluded while arguments
we're being made, was summoned into
the court room. After explaining brief
ly the cause fo, this course. Judge Bell
ordered the Jury to find for the defend
ant, which it accordingly did in the
usual form.
Counsel for Mrs Woodbury. filed ex-
ceptions on all the questions passed
upon. They have not yet decided upon
a definite course of action, but author
ized it to be stated that they expect t.
carry the case to the supreme court.
This far reaching decision of Judge
Bell was given in response to one Of
two motions offered by Mr. Elder, SEN
ior counsel for Mrs. Eddy. This was
that verdict for the defendant be
ordered on the evidence as it Stood
The other motion, which was not sus-
tained, was that the two counts in the
declaration referring to the publication

calls be stricked out.

SUGAR KING TALKS.

Has Confidence in the Business Judg-
ment OF the American People.
From the Michigan Sugar Beet.
Bay City, October 81 "A few years
ago, an immense fleet of tugs and
steamers was towing logs from Can
adian forests to the saw mills of the
Saginaw river and other cities on Lake
Huron. The fleet was owned and OPP
Grated by Capt. Ben Boutell of this city.
The squabble over the duty on lumber
y and the two dollar duty on
lumber helped to kill this log towing
industry. Capt. Boutell then turned
his attention to the cultivation and
manufacture of beet sugar. The un.
certainties of this industry at that time
had no terrors for the doughty lake
captain, and in 1893 he assisted In or
ganizing the pioneer beet sugar fac
tory, named in honor of the State, the
Michigan Sugar Company. For one
brief year it enjoyed the fostering care
of state bounty, but its withdrawal
did not discourage its promoters. The
confidence reposed by Capt. Boutell in
this new enterprise is best attested by
the constantly increasing number
of beet sugar factories in which he has
invested his ample capital. Ever since
the trust made its attack on the beet
sugar industry of California and the far
west, representative of the Michigan
Sugar Beet has been looking for an op
portunity to get the views of Michigan's
pioneer and leader in this industry.
For more than two weeks Capt Bortell
has been travelling about the State,
where the factories were just beginning
their beet slicing campaign.
The circuit was ompleted when the
Saginaw sugar factory began opera
tions, and last night Capt. Boutell re-
turned TO this city. He was found at
his tug Office this morning for he still
owns and controls large fleet of tugs
and other boats. Seventeen other men.
were awaiting their turn to see one Of
