and otherwise, today as she always has
and the statement that Mrs. Eddy is
dominated or controlled by any sort of
cabinet or combination is positively
false-absurdly so to any one who is
acquaintej with Mrs. Eddys extraordi-
rary ability as an executive.
Mrs. Eddy, as she herself wrote to the
Boston Herald on October 10, 1896, is in
her usual good health. She is not
slowly dying from cancer, nor has she
Il cancer or any chronic or organic or
functional disease. She has never been
visited by cancer specialist nor do
l or anybody else provide ''old school
surgeons and physicians dentists and
the entire range of pharmacopceia" for
attendance upon Mrs. Eddy as is stated
By the World.
Had the reporters of the World really
desired 10 learn whether Mrs. Leonard
unprecedented Mrs. Eddy OH Mrs.
Eddy's drive, it would have been a very
simple matter for these reporters TO
have called at Pleasant View, while
Mrs. Eddy was driving, and asked for
Mrs. Leonard. Had they taken this
ready way of notification. they
would have had no trouble i'm seeing
Mrs. Leonard herself and talking with
her.
When the reporters of the New York
World called to see Mrs. Eddy per-
sonally. what they spoke of as 'stimu-
lants' was not in the room at all There
was no galvaDic battery nor any slim
ulants or medicines in the room or in
the house. There was simply small
table on which was silver ice pitcher
silver mug and small finger bowl
that Mrs. Eddy uses. There was a
wood box in the room, but nothing else
except Mrs. Eddy's own literary mater
ial. books and papers. Mrs. Eddy has
never to my knowledge while | have
lived with her, need stimulants of any
kind, nor to my knowledge have there
ever been any IN the house. My service

is Active and Alert.

Having seen and talked 10 Mrs
Mary Baker @. Eddy today, I am pre-
pared to label as false the sensational
reports in today's New York World
concerning Mrs. Eddy's state of health
II found that Mrs. Eddy was the
same active, healthy and mentally alert
woman she has always been reported
She moves abort with perfect freedom
and no sign of suffering or physical
disability.
Il was present today when size re-
ceived and conversed with Mayor
Charles r. Corning and General Frank
6. Streeter. the latter having known
Mrs Eddy throughout the past fifteen
years. General Streeter and Mayor
Corning expressed themselves much inl-
pressed with the activity and apparent
health of Mrs. Eddy.
while in Mrs. Eddy's home l made
inquiry as to the basis of the report
that galvanic battery was in evidence
end was used TO prepare her for the
ordeal of meeting her inquisiters.
was shown q silver water pitcher
which stood on a side table with COB
let and silver bowl for waste water
Outside of these articles the room is CO.
cupied by ordinary furniture and With
nothing 10 indicate a galvdnic battery.
I was assured that the room was pre-
clSely as IL n3d Dee1 uuTItS iHe NiS-t
of the World reporters and that the
water pitcher and other silver pieces
which go with it furnished the only
foundation upon which to establish the
canard.
This instance, I learn, is illustrative
of the grounds for all the other allie
cations respecting Mrs. Eddy's health,
wealth and income.
LAS the Christian Science committee
on publication for the state IF New
York desire particularly that the facts
be presented to the people of New York
state j have gained the truth regard
ing these questions first hand, and my
investigation here in Concord, and Mrs
Eddys home has revealed state OF
affairs which leaves nothing upon
which the World story can stand.
Every mayor of Concord back as far
as 1897 has been interviewed today and
each has positively denied ever having
acted as unofficial treasurer or hav-
ing received money or jewels alleged to
have been left with them for Mrs
Eddy The story that Mrs. Eddy re-
ceived money from those who have
visited Concord in years past is with
out foundation.

Statements Made Freely.

The foregoing statements are freely
made in refutation of the allegd tionS of
the Sunday Worlds article. which as
serts that Mrs. Eddy is near to death
from cancer; that for more than three
years she has been unable 10 leave her
home; that she is impersonated in her
carriage by Mrs. Leonard, her conn
panion: that she cannot manage her
business affairs; that she has trans
ferred her property to others; and that
Der gifts and charities are mythical
II VIII be noted that the statements
made by Concord people in REPUTATION
of these assertions are not from Chris
tian Scientists. but from Congregation-
alists. Unitarians. Universalists and
Baptists; and from persons who, by
reason of their opportunities TO know
what takes place in Concord may be
relied upon TO state facts.
The gist of the Worlds sensation.
however, is summed up in the assertion
that Mrs. Eddy is physically broken
down and that ii is not she but Mrs.
Leonard who drives in the Pleasant
View carriage through Concord
streets every day. This ought to be
easily susceptible of proof if it is true.
Mrs. Leonard is readily accessible at
Pleasant View and it would be an easy
matter for anybody TO call there any
day when the carriage is making its
round, TO ask for Mrs. Leonard and
thus TO ascertain whether she was inn
personating Mrs. Eddy during the daily
drive.
This simple test, however, the World
omitted to make.
1t was made today. however and at
the time when Mrs. Eddy. i'm her car
riage on Main street. was being seen
by hundreds, Mrs. Leonard received
callers at fieasant View

there was still due the man s1.05, for

the check had been changed, but IT

excellent timber for state senator from
the Wright Hamilton Hardin district,
and started q boom for candidate for
this position from this part of the dis

scented by Senator Hartshorn, of

for reelection. Hamilton county has
