AUTHOR OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Mrs. Eddy Defends Her Titro ns the
 Founder.

Founder.
 Concord, N. H., June 7.-Recent claims that Ralph Waldo Emerson is the author of Christian Science has called forth the following statement from Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy: ITO Whom it May Concern: T was early the pupil of Miss Saraf J. Bodwell, the principal of Sanbortor academy, of New Hampshire, and fin. ished my course of studies under Pro. lessor Dyer H. Sanborn, author of San. born's grammar. Among my early studies were Comstock's Natural Phil osophy. chemistry, Blair's Rhetoric Whateley's Logis. Watts On the Mind and Moral Science.
 'At sixteen years of age began writ. ing for leading newspapers, and fol many years wrote for the best maga- zines in the south and north. have lectured in large and crowded halls in New York city, Chicago, Boston, Port land and at Waterville college, and have been invited to lecture in London and Edinburgh. .5%
 Tn 1883 I started the Christian Sci ence Journal, and for several years was the proprietor and sole editor of that journal. In 1893 Judge S. J. Hanna be- came editor of the Christian Science Journal for ten subsequent years he knew my ability as an editor. In his recent lecture at Chicago he said: Mrs. Eddy is, from every point of view, a woman of sound education and liberal culture.'
 "Agassiz, the celebrated naturalist and. author, wisely said: Every great scientific, truth goes through three stages. First, people say it conflicts with the Bible. Next, they say it has been discovered before. Lastly, they say. they have always believed it.
 ''The first attack upon me was-Mrs. Eddy misinterprets the scriptures; sec- ond, she has stolen the contents of her book Science and Health with Key to the scriptures from one P. P. Quimby, Gan obscure, uneducated man,) and he is the founder of Christian Science. Failing in these attempts, the Calumni- ator has resor.ed Ralph Waldo Elmer sons philosophy as the authority for Christian Science. Lastly the defamer will decare as honestly @, I have all ways known it.

 as possible to shape themselves and to get into such relations that it will be easy for them to walk we'll in the new life.
 "That is one form of duty peculiarly incumbent upon us of these reformed churches. But we are not to be excus- ed if we selfishly sit down and enjoy gifts that have been given to us and do not try to share them with our poorer fellows, coming from every part of the world, who, many of them, stand in such need of the helping hand; who often not only meet too many people anxious to associate with them for their detriment, but too often too few anx- Lous to associate with them for their good.
 q trust that with the conservation of each new church of the Reformed creed In this our country there will be estab- lished fresh center of effort to get at and to help for their good the people that yearly come from over seas to us. ! :, more important work can be done by our people, important to the cause pI Sul L1Ipo1 LclilL to t1iC cause pf true national life and greatness here tn our own land
 Another thing. Let us, so far as strength is given us, make it evident to those who look on and who are not of us that our faith is not one of words merely; that it expression in deeds. One sad, one lamentable phase of hu- man history is that the very loftiest words, implying the loftiest ideas, have been used as cloaks for the commission of dreadful deeds of iniquity. We must m our lives, in our efforts, endeavor to further the cause of brotherhood in the human family; and we must do it in such a way that the men anxious to ind subject for complaint or derision in he churches of the United States, in bur church, may not be able to find it

IS IT A VOLCANO.
The Suspicious Behavoir of a Mountain
 Near Casas Grandes.

Alderman George Lock has just re- turned from his ranch near Casas Grandes, Mexico. and relates strange discovery which he and a party made in the mountains few days ago. From all indications the gentlemen ran onto a smoltering volcano, the existence of which, though known to few native
 boys, was never before seriously inves- tigated.
 The phenomenon consists of large l crater in the top of rugged mountain from which constantly issues smoke ana vaDO~.
 While MT. Look and his partner, MT John Lemar, were experimenting the erection of windmill and repairs on a well on the ranch they were told of the volcano by Mormon blacksmith by the name of Hearst, who said that boys hauling lumber past the mountain had climbed it and seen the hole in the

 This church is consecrated here to- day to duty and to service to the wor- ship of the Creator. and to an earnest effort on our part so to shape our lives among ourselves and in relation to the outside world that we may feel that we have done our part in bringina little nearer the day when there shill be on this earth a genuine brotherhood of man."

REGARDED AS NECESSARY.
Report Made on Protest Against
Cement Sidewalks.

A protest was recently received by the
Commissioners from property owner
against the proposed laying of new cement
sidewalks on both sides of Massachusetts
avenue from 18th to 18th streets north
west. A hearing was granted the protest
ant and the matter was referred back to
the computing engineer for statement.
That officer. Mr.. Hunt, has recommended
that the work proceed as ordered. He re-
CARDS the new walks as being necessary
to the public health, safety and comfort.
"A personal inspection" says Mr.. Hunt,
'discloses that the frontage represented
by the protestant is by far the best portion
of this walk. No existing cement walks
which conform to grade will be disturbed
in the execution of the work under con-
sideration. 1t is therefore recommended
that the work be ordered in spite of the
protest received. and that the protestant
be advised that should it be found, when
the details of the work are elaborated that
his walk conforms to grade. and that the
procedure is practicable, it will not be re-
laid with cement"
The Commissioners approved the recon-
mendatfOn
