where its falsity and Absurdity were
Immediately m9nifest, with indignation.
and the following statements in refu-
tatiOn and contradiction of it were giT-
Ell to the press:
Mayor Makes Statement.
II have known Mrs. Eddy by sight
for many years. L have seen her in
her carriage many times, and within
the last season Mrs. Eddy has passed
up Pleasant and down Green street
daily and l know that the sole occu-
pant of the carriage has been Mrs. f l.

81 have been counselor for Mrs Eddy
at various times during the last twelve
or fifteen years and have known her
well. ] think the last time I saw hef
at her home before today was i'm June
of last year. / have frequently met heT
while driving down town,
My attention was called to the ar
ticle in the New York World of this
morning and j was asked by my friends
tn call upon her and be able to speak
with reference to her health.
THE charge that Mrs. Eddy has been
physically ineapacitated and unable TO
leave her room for all or a considera-
BILE part Of three years, and that some
one, said to be Mrs. Leonard. was ir-
personating Mrs. Eddy in her carriage
was already from personal observation
known by me to be false.
Call on Mrs. Eddy.
Mayor Charles L. Corning drove ou:
with me to Pleasant View about 4
o'clock this afternoon. I sent a note 10
Mrs. Eddy that we be permitted to call
on her. and the request was almost inn
mediately granted. She arose and most
cordially greeted the mayor and N.Y.
self. exhibiting no appearance of Weari-
ness, but physical activity not ordi-
narily to be found IN persons many
years yongeT. The converse ton COW
cred a variety of subjects. She spoke
briefly without bitterness Of the false
statements being circulated with ref
erence to her health, and even death
and said that she was in the hands of
an infinite God, i'm whom she had per-
feet trust, and that he would care for
her
Reference was made to business
transactions of some time ago abou;
which her memory was exact and accu-
rate. She referred 10 many details al
her daily work and her correspondence
and study. She also inquired for 2
personal friend to whom she had re-
Gently sent a valuable present and ex-
pressed her warm affection. After {
very interesting half hours talk wifi
Mrs. Eddy we returned
Il can emphatically say that Mrs
Eddy, in spite of her advanced years
Is a remarkably well preserved wo
man. Her health and appearance i.
substantially the same as when ! las
talked with her, something over a yea
ago. Her mind is not only unimpaired
hut she exhibits the same clearness
strength, alertness and vigor whiCi
have so long distinguished her
