TO SUCCEED WILLIAMSON.
Mr.. Englebright Put on House Com

In the House yesterday the Speaker an
nounced the appointment of Representative
Englebright of California to place on the
committee of mines and mining, in place
of Mr.. Williamson of Oregon. who was
elected a member of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress, but who has never attended any of
its sessions. He called the attention of the
House to the fact that Mr.. Williamson
had failed to qualify. and he. thought it
the correct practice under the circum-
stances to displace one member for another.
Mr. Williamson was indicted and con-
victed in the land fraud prosecutions insti-
tuted by the government in Oregon He
appealed from the judgment of the trial
court and is now awaiting the action of the
appellate court. He has not appeared in
the Capitol since his election in 1904.

WOULD GIVE VALUABLE LOTS.
Legislation Affecting Congressional
Cemetery Asked For.

A subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on the District of Columbia. consist
ing of Senators Burkett. Alice, Scott,
Blackburn and Gearin. accompanied Sem
ator GallnSer on trip to the Congress
sional cemetery yesterday to make per-
sonal inspection of the ground in view of
the legislation that Is asked for by the
vestry of Christ Church to grant it the
right to sell burial sites within the limits
of streets in the cemetery.
After making this inspection the sub
committee with Mr. Burkett as chair
man, gave hearing to persons interested
in this matter in the room of the Senate
committee on the District. There were
present Mr.. A W. Bright representing the
vestry of Christ Church; Mr.. Maurice D.
Rosenberg, attorney for the cemetery; Mr..
J. B. Earnshaw, superintendent; Mr. w.
H. Dennis and Mr.. Eldridge. representing
lot owners. Mr.. Bright asked that this
legislation be enacted and Mr. Rosenberg
stated that in passing this bill Congress
would not give the cemetery anything it
does not now possess but would simply
extend the use of that which the cemetery
owns.
Mr. Dennis made strong statement.
saying that Christ Church Is now sup
ported by the proceeds Of the cemetery,
and as a lot owner he believed that all in
come from the sale of lots should be used
exclusively for the maintenance and the
Improvement of the cemetery. He said
that the vestry of Christ Church was
body of trustees acting for the lot owners
and he believed that the time had come
when they should account for their trust
and turn it over to direct representatives
of lot owners. He said that the lot owners
he represented are contemplating a suit
in equity in order to get direct possession
of their property and the very least he
thought the committee could do would be
to provide, if this bill was passed, that
the money derived from the sale of lots
should be kept trust fund. and only
the interest on that fund be used for the
cemetery He said that the lots which
the cemetery is now seeking to get
thorty to sell are, at the least worth
100000.

DISPOSITION WAS EXEMPLARY



CONCORD. N. H.. January 5.-The jan
uary issue Of McClures Magazine, which
undertakes to publish the history of the
early life of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy
leader OF the Christian Scientists, and her
family. has been brought to the attention
or Mrs. Eddy. She has taken the pains to
correct the matter, and has sent out the
following statement over her own signature:
1t is calumny on Christian Science to say
that man is aroused to thought or action
only by ease. pleasure or recompense
Something higher, nobler, more imperative
impels the impulse Of soul.
1t becomes my duty to be just to the de-
parted and to tread not ruthessly on their
ashes The attack on me and my late
father and his family in McClure's Maya
zine. January. 1907, compels me as dutiful
child and the leader of Christian Science to
speak.
McClure's Magazine refers to my fathers

Fathers Household Law.

Although McClures Magazine attributes
to my father language unseemly, his house
hold law, constantly enforced, was no pro-
family and no slang phrases. McCure's
Magazine also declares that the Bible was
the only book in his house. On the con-
trary, my father was a great reader
The man, whom McClure's Magazine
Characterizes ignorant dominating
passionate, fearless" was uniformly digni-
fied-a well-informed, intellectual man. Gull
tivated in mind and manners. He was
called upon to do much business for his
town. making out deeds settling quarres.
and even acting as counsel in a law suit
involving question of pauperism between
the towns of Loudon and Bow, N H.
Franklin Pierce, afterward President of the
United States, was the counsel for Loudon,
and Mark Baker for Bow. Both entered
their pleas, and my father won the suit
After il was decided Mr.. Pierce bowed to
my father and congratulated him. For
several years father was chaplain of the
New Hampshire State Militia. and as l
recollect it. he was justice of the peace at
one time. My father was a strong believer
in states rights, but slavery he regarded
a great sin.
Mark Baker was the youngest of his
fathers family and inherited his fathers
real estate, an extensive farm situated in
Bow and Concord, N II. 1t is on record
that Mark Bakers father paid the largest
tax in the colony.

Prevailing Style of Architecture.

McClures Magazine says, describing the
Baker homestead at Bow: The house it
self was a small, square box structure of
rudimentary architecture" My father s
house had a slopng roof, after the prevail
ing style Of architecture at that date.
McClures Magazine states: Alone of the
Bakers, he (AlberD received liberal edu-
cation. Mary Baker passed her
first fifteen years at the ancestral home
at Bow. 1t was a lonely and unstmulat-
ing existence. The church supplied the
only social diversion, the district school

| will relate the following incident, which
occurred later In life, as illustrative of my
disposition:
While 1 was living with DR.. Patterson at
his country home in Rumney, n. H., a girl.
totally blind, knocked at the door and was
admitted. She begged to be allowed to re-
main with me, and my tenderness and SYM
pathy were such that l could not refuse
her. Shortly after. however, my good
houSekeeper said to me:
IF this blind girl stays with you. / shall
have to leave; she troubles me so much
1t was not in my heart to turn the blind
girl out. and so | lost my housekeeper
My reply to the statement that the clerk s
book shows that | joined the Tilton Con-
gregational Church at the age of seventeen
is that my religious experience seemed to
eliminate at twelve years of age. Hence
a mistake may have occurred as to the
exact date of my first church membership.

Joint Partner, Not Workman.


McClure's Magazine calls my youngest
brother George Sullivan Baker, "a work
man in a Tilton wooden mill" AS a mat
ter of fact, he was joint partner with
Alexander Tilton. and together they owned
a large manufacturing establishment in
Tilton, n. II. His military title of colonel
came from appointment on the staff of
the governor of New Hampshire.
My oldest brother, Samuel ID. Baker,
carried on large business in Boston,
Mass.
Regarding the allegation by Mcclure s
Magazine that all the family. except
ing Albert. died of cancer l will say
that there never a death in my faith
er's family reported by physician post

McClure's Magazine says that the quar-
rels between Mary, Child ten years old,
and her father. gray-haired man of fifty,
frequently set the house In an uproar,''
and adds that these fits were diagnosed
by DR.. Laid 'hysteria mingled with
