Central Federated Union of New

New York, Oct. 2S.-The Central FEEDER
ated Union refused to-day TO be STAN
peded for W. r. Hearst. What appeared
to be an effort 10 get that body on
record in the matter OF indorsing him
came in the form OF letter from the
Central Association Of Trades Councils OF
Corning. y. T., in which its secretary,
E. L. Creyo. wanted TO know what action
the c. T. L. had taken regarding the In
dorsing of Mr. Hearst last Sunday The
writer said that he saw by the papers
that matters were badly mixed up.
lie wanted TO know what the Central Fed
Grated Union actually did, as it looked
as If il had indorsed somebody.
It was decided that the writer of the
letter should be told that no action was
taken toward indorsing Mr.. Hearst or
Mr. Hughes.
The Hearst people were vigorously de-
nounced by delegates of tho international
Association of Machinists and Cigar
Makers Union, No. lH, for having given
cut statements that their unions were
going 10 take part in the alleged Hearst
labor demonstration on Sunday. Just be-
fore this delegates from various orgaui-
zations had moved FOR the endorsements Of
nominees belonging 10 the respective
trades, Independence League. and Indc-
pendent Labor Party tickeJs.
Several attempts were made by Hearst
men 70 get his name in for eulogios, but
the CuiOgies were cut short Finally q
resolution was passed which was a very
harmless one. II was that a vote OF

New York. Oct. 2S-The Christian
Science publication committees were busy

that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. the leader
of the church. is dying of cancer at Con-
cord, y. H, and that her place in her pub
lie appearance in carriage drives is being
taken by Mrs. Parmelia g. Leonard. Of
Brooklyn. as a substitute.
The statement also concerned itself with
the probable disposition Of her fortune,
which was placed at s15,e0OCO0.
It was declared Mrs. Eddy is not sick, as
is set forth. and that she Is not being kept
in close seclusion. The charge was made
that a substitute was being sent out so
that if Mrs. Eddy really were sick, her
failure to take her daily drive should not
cause comment.

There has been some discussion as to
whether it would be permitted to come
out should Mrs Eddy die. as it has been
said that the news OF her death would

tained.
As far as the facts can be learned, Mrs.
Eddy. who for three years has been in
seclusion in her home in Concord, is not
q sufferer from cancer. This is a disease
that carried OF six members of her fam
ily, and tor that reason il was deemed
likely that she might be suffering from it.
As q matter OF fact Mrs Eddy has
been a sufferer from shaking palsy for
long while. and as she Is about eighty
five years of age is not considered to be
i'm good health. one of the representa-
tives Of the church in Pennsylvania said
to-day he had visited Mrs. Eddy's home

Further than that this representative
declared that Mrs. LeOuards son had
made the positive statement that his
mother never had ridden in Mrs. Eddy's
carriage. II is known that on occasion
Mrs. Eddy has had attacks which kept
her indoors, and that some person. pre-
sumably a nurse, had been sent out in
her place to take q drive, with the idea
OF avertinS any suspicion that might be
aroused if Mrs. Eddy's carriage did not
