MRS. EDDY IS
JUST ALIVE
Christian Science Leader is Allowed
to Appear Before Number Of
Reporters.
GIVES A STRANGE INTERVIEW
Answers Three Questions, But the
Fourth is Not Replied to-Is
Near the End.

New York Cit, Nov. 5.-The
New York Sun this morning prints the
following account of an interview
granted by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
to a party of newspaper representa-
tives at her home in Concord, N. H.,
yesterday:
Mary Baker Eddy is alive, but old
and feeble, and suffering from some
complaint like palsy which makes her
head and hands shake. She gave
probably the last interview of her
life this afternoon to eleven reporters
from Boston and New York, and now,
in the words of one of her household,
the gates of Pleasant View are closed
forever
Ever since Sunday, when a New
York newspaper came out with story
to the effect that Mrs. Eddy was un-
der the control of her household and
that Mrs. PAMELA Leonard, healer
of Brooklyn, was impersonating the
leader of Christian Science on her
daily drive, the city Concord, N. H.
has been full of reporters. H. Cornell
Wilson, Christian Science press agent
for New York and vicinity, arrived
Monday morning and stood between
the reporters and the household at
Pleasant View. Archibald Mcclellan,
editor of the official Christian Science
publications, came up to help, and l..
C. Strang, the local man, also was on
the job
'The first reporters to arrive de.
manded an interview. Wilson stood

Eddy was busy and the story hadn..
yet been called to her attention. He
announced he might have something

Mrs. Eddys household, including Mrs

the wall. There came a tap on the
folding door.

RISING FROM ITS ASHES.

California is gradually recovering
from the calamity that befell it last
April. More than 10000 people have
settled in that state during the past
summer, taking advantage of colon
lists rates. This influx of population
is said to be responsible for much of
the increased business noted In all
cities throughout the state. The new
immigration is toward the agricultural
sections. There is great demand for
labor of all kinds and especially in
the skilled building trades. The short.
age is felt in all of the cities of the
state.
Though late in getting started San
Francisco is slowly rising from its
ashes and the outlook is most encour-
aging. Since the fire more than 5000
buildings have been erected in the
burned district. while more than $780,
100000 has been spent in city i'm
provements. Fully $4,000 men are do.
ing construction work, and 200 car
loads OF debris are being removed
daily. Building permits to the num-
Der of 4,4S6 have been issued to q val.
ue Of about $27,OOO.OOO. Bank clear
ings are on the increase and general
business is on substantial basis.
The tourist travel to California also
promises to be large. notwithstanding
the expected injury to the state by the
earthquake.

hibiting great pluck and unless anoth.

1t is probable that dairymen will
make many improvements in h future,
for already there is a growing ten
dency to begin reforms in the dairies,
and there is no department on the farm
which demands more consideration
than the present methods of handling
both the cows and their milk. 1t is
claimed that there is more filth and less
care in dairying than is creditable, but
there are exceptions, as in otser occu-
Dations. The majority Of consumers
are usually in ignorance of any Of the
conditions affecting the preparation of
milk. Reforms are also possible In the
treatment of the milk from fresh COWS
as well as care of the young calves,
it being customary to remove the calves
| from the cows when the young things
are but one or two days old, the milk
from their dams being added to that
taken from other COWS of the herd, al
though such milk may be unfit for use
and injurious to children who are fed
upon it. The milk from fresh COWS
| should go to the calf until it is at least
two or three weeks old, but, as the av-
erage dairyman milks his cows for the
purpose of selling the product, he will
not willingly sacrifice to the calf an
article that he can put on the market.
The result is that the milk sold in the
cities is of varied quality, much of it
being unclean and unfit for use. There
Is room for Improvement, and there are
hundreds of consumers ready and will
ing to pay the dairyman for his extra
care If he will provide them with milk
of the best quality. 1t may take time
to build up such a trade, but a reputa-
ton fol- a choice article is capital in
vested, as confidence insures a demand
for ali that can be produced. The dis
regard Of the rights of consumers, es-
p~ecially on the part of some dealers,
who seem to place no value upon clean
Illness, cannot fail to induce them to
purchase only from parties who are
known to be reliable.
