| Thanh-Thai of AMMAN, showing that
he went to the extent of cannibalism
After killing one of his wives he
caused the body to be cooked and
served up for dinner, forcing the

pain of death. Some of the kings
wives We're bound and burned with
boiling oil and subjected to other
cruelties, while naked women were
thrown into the cages of wild beasts,
where they were devoured before the
king. One of his pastimes is, it is
affirmed to drive enormous pins into
their shoulders and thighs and then
to hang them up to the ceiling by
means of ropes attached to these
pins.
Finally the French authorities
stepped in and made a prisoner of
Thanh-Thai, who had been adjudged
insane by Dr. Dumas of the French
colonial staff. The royal guard" has
been disbanded, the palace has been
placed under the protection of $50
native soldiers and the terror-stricken
inmates of the palace have been res.
cued from further suffering. The
majority of the latter were women,
who bore the marks of revolving tor
lures. Some of them We're terribly
mutilated, their faces being slashed
and their tongues cut out, while 9th
ers had been suspended by pincers
attached to the tleshy parts of their
legs to increase their agony.
Thanh-Thai, king of AMMAN, or
CochinChina, who has recently been
guilty of such terrible atrocities, has
caused trouble before Several years
ago, owing to the scandal caused by
his barbarous torture of several of
his personal attendants, the French
resident, at the head of the gend-
armerie, entered the palace to save
the lives of the attendants and re-
store order. In August last the king
was seized with homicidal mania or
dered seven of his wives to be exc
cuted and looked on while they were
tortured to death. A few days later
the king shot down prince who was

Gil of the royal family and the last
surviving son of King Mimi Mang.

between the reporters and the house

man. also was on the job.
The first reporters to arrive de-
manded an interview Wilson stood
them off, declaring last night Mrs.
Eddy was busy and the story hadn't
yet been called to her attention. He
announced he might have something
important to say if the reporters would
meet him at noon today at the Eagle
hotel. At II O'Clock he appeared with

were not on the list.
We didn't like the tone Of your

FOUNDER AND HEAD
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCH A RECLUSE
GATES OF HOME CLOSED TO THE WORLD
Following Published Story That Mrs. Mary Baker T.
Eddy Was at the Point of Death, Reporters Have
Interview With Her at Her Home-Sensatlonal AAe-
cations of Fraud and Deception Denied Aged
Woman in Comparatively Good Health

New York The World, Of this city,
recently published sensational story
to the effect that Mrs. Mary Baker G..
Eddy, the reyered founder and head
OF the Christian Science church, was
extremely feeble physically and men
tally and seemingly in the shadow of
death.
The allegation was made that the
daily drive seemingly taken by Mrs.
Eddy through the streets of Concord,
n. H., her home, was a fraud The
World stated that ostensibly Mrs.
Eddy makes this daily public appear
ance, dressed in velvets and ermine,
TO show her followers that she is in
perfect health. 1t Is not Mrs, Eddy,
but an impersonator, trained and cos
exhibition drive.
The article continued:
This impersonator is now known
10 be Mrs. Parmelia ]. Leonard, of
Brooklyn, head OF the Christian Sci.
enCe church in that borough.
Mrs. Leonard has been an inmate
al Mrs Eddy's home at Concord for
the last three years.
There she has perfected herself as
understudy to Mrs. Eddy, and has
impcrsonated the head OF the Chris
tan Science church in the daily cx-
hibition drives when TO move the real
Mrs. Eddy from her bed would have
meant almost certain death to The en-
fccblcd woman.

real estate transfers Of Concord, \. H.,
for clew to its whereabouts.
These records show that Mrs.
Eddy's estate, Pleasant View, was orig
inally purchased in great part by Jo-
seph T. Mann, her former butler and
brother Of her present coachman. They
also show that Mrs. Eddy's home, its
furnishings and all her jewelry, were
transferred few years ago to Calvin
A. Frye, the present footman, secre-
tary and supreme power at Pleasant
View
When an action for damages
against Mrs. Eddy threatened to re-
veal to the public this transaction, the
property was quickly transferred back
To- It's aged owner.

Christian Scientists are allowed
many privileges, she said, so I hope
you won't mind if | ask you to go
away
Just before one o'clock there came
to Pleasant View a belated newspaper
photographer. He wanted little. He
only wished Mrs. Leonard and Mrs.
Eddy to come out into the sunlight and
pose for him, so the world might see
how little they resembled each other.
Strang refused him. He added:
Pleasant View will close to the outer
world forever"

Frye the Power in Household.


Calvin A. Frye is great name in
Concord. He is a footman in livery
on the box of Mrs. Eddy's carriage
during the daily drives of the real Mrs.
Leonard and fictitious Mrs. Eddy. He
is secretary at Pleasant View for the
rest of the time, the one in absolute
authority, who for three years has
guarded Mrs Eddy with a vigilance
known only in prisons.
"Devotces, rich, socially prominent
and loyal to the cult, have been
turned away from the door of Pleasant
View by Frye. They have been as
sured that Mrs Eddy, although in per-
feet health, was overwhelmed with
work, and could not be disturbed"
They were told that she could only be
seen in her daily drives, and were
cautioned not to peer through the win
dows of the carriage under penalty Of
Mrs Eddy's displeasure.

AT that instant Frye caught her ell.
bow and turned her toward the front
door. before which her carriage waited
to take her on her drive. Strang fell
in on the other side, and Mrs. Eddy
walked between them
Have you the management OF your

At the door Frye and Strang fell back.
Mrs. Eddy walked the width Of the
piazza alone. Her gait had stately.
languid grace, hardly suggestive OF
old age, but her hand shook badly as
Strang helped her to a seat in the
carriage
When Mrs. Eddy had gone the re-
porters were shown over Pleasant
View house. When the reporters of
the newspaper which printed the orig
inal story interviewed Mrs. Eddy last
week they saw, or thought they saw,
an electric battery and a basin of
blood stained water. The guide
showed the reporters in Mrs. Eddys
