An event of unusual interest to
Christian Scientists occurred at Con-
cord, N. H., July II. An invitation
to participate in the dedication of
newly completed edifice which is the
gift of Mrs. Eddy to the members OF
her home church. Many Christian
Scientists were present and special
trains were run from New York and
Boston. Services were held at hair
past ten a. m, three in the after
noon and half-past seven p. m AL
each OF these message from the
leader was read.
The cost OF the building has exceed
ed 100000, of which Mrs. Eddy con-
tributed large proportion. Unsolic-
tied donations from other Christian
Science churches swelled the original
estimate of 100000 to the present
amount.
The architecture of the building is
Italian Gothic and the exterior is OF
rock-faced Concord granite. The
stone tower Is surrounded with a
lantern which rises to height OF LOB
feet and forms a landmark to the
surrounding country. The designs
were prepared by Messrs. Allen &
Collins Of Boston.
The seating capacity OF the audi
torium is about one thousand, and
the quarted oak pews are gift from
the six Christian Science churches OF
Chicago. The interior decoration is
quiet and attractive, and on the walls
there are several Bible texts and quo
tations from the Christian Science
text book.
1t has always been Mrs. Eddy's
wish that the home church should
represent the labor and material Of
Concord itself. This city is famous
for its granite quarries, which pro

The release from prison of Mrs.
Maybrick recalls story told on the
authority of e. S. Willard, the English
actor. According to the story there
was sensational play in rehearsal at
one Of the London theaters early in
the SOS. The plot of the play was in
all essentials the plot of the May
brick tragedy. Before putting It in
the bill a private matinee was given,
TO which critics, actors and literary
folk were invited. In the result the
play was condemned and never pro-
duced, but among the audience at the
matinee, the story goes, were Mrs.
Maybrick and the man whose name
was mentioned in the case. II the
story be true, it frrlsHgs one of the

FIRE STARTED TO HIDE MURDER
Skull Of 4endrich Found to Have Been

Skull OF Tenurtcn cunu 10 Rave 1eSh
Crushed.
Facts which have come to light
since the fire at Tabor point conclu-
sively to a murder. The body of Frank
Hendrich, who was supposed to have
been burned to death, shows marks Of
violence which indicates that he was
killed while sleeping and the building
set on FIRE to hide the crime. When
the body was taken from the ruins IL
was noticed that while the arms and
legs were burned to a crisp, yet a por-
ton of the head and shoulders was
only slightly burned. The skull was
crushed, showing violence which could
not have been exerted save by human
agency.
Hendrich was known to be q sober
man, and one who saved his money.
He was reported to have several hun
dred dollars in trunk in his room at
the time Of the fire. Robbery is sup
posed to be the motive for the crime,
with murder and arson to hide the
traces.
