1TUAL THOUGHT.

Concord. n. H.. April 3.-CounseI for
the plaintiffs in The Eddy case said to-
day that it appeared 10 them that Mr..
Streeter. personal counsel for Mrs.
Eddy and Those who have charge Of
her case have. after mature deIfbera e.
ton. arrived AT the same conclusion as
TO the lncapa city OF Mrs. Eddy TO man
age her business affairs that her son
reached when he saw her in January.
This suit, they declared, Is not direct
ed at Mrs. Eddy OF a Christian Science.
The position Of the petitioners from THO
beginning has been that because Of her
1ncapacity 10 manage her business af-
fairs, reformation as To the manage
ment, control and accounting thereof
was necessary for her protection.
Now that the imperative need OF this
reform is conceded, counsel said, re-
naming question would seem To be
whether the interests of Mrs. Eddy will
be wei cared for and protected by a
receiver appointed by the court or by
trustees appointed by and acting prac-
tically as a confirmation of the old re-
gime.
