MRS. EDDY'S LIFE.
Brisbane Says She Lives Under Ideal
 Conditions.

During the prosecution of the suit brought by so-caled next friends against Mrs. Eddy, an interesting feature last week was the publication in the Boston American of the deductions of Arthur Brisbane, 4he wel-known journa- list. MT. Brisbane interviewed Mrs. Eddy at the request of the Cosmopolitan maga- zine at her home, Pleasant View, in Con- cord, N. II. MT. Brisbane passed an hour with Mrs. Eddy and his immediate report to the publication he represented upon the results of his visit to Mrs. Eddy was as follows:
 'T visited Mrs. Eddy as the representa- tive of the Cosmopolitan magazine, in ac- cordance with the arrangement that you had made. l had a long and extremely interesting talk with her l am glad to ted you that 1 shall be able to write the article which you ask for, and that it will be positively reassuring and comforting to Mrs. Eddy's friends.
 Mir Brisbane describes the conditions of Mrs. Eddys home as follows:
 "Those about her are devoted to her. She is in absolute control of her own movements, and mistress of her entire household. That is evident.
 Mrs Eddy is thoroughly competent to take care of herself and her business. The suggestion that she should be deprived of her personal liberty, or of the property that she has earned, is preposterous and shameful.
 For a woman of her age-she is SC years old-her mental vigor and clearness Of thought are most unusual. l had ever op- portunity of convicing myself thoroughly as to her mental and physical condition. She talks clearly, logically She reads beautifully with a voice very musical and of great power She understands bus mess matters thoroughly. She speaks with intense feeling and gratitude of her friends and their devotion. To accuse those friends of conspiracy against her welfare is in my opinion disgraceful. sr-"I shall say at length that l feel most deeply, namely, that if Mrs Eddy in her old age should be deprived by Jaw of her fortune of the right to dispose of 1t. or of the right to dispose of herself, the act would be outrageous. And it would cause just apprehension in the mind of any woman past three score and ten and pos sessed of property that might arouse the cupidity of the interest of outsiders
 Mrs Eddy lives under ideal conditions of comfort, happiness and contentment, It would be sheer brutality on the part of so-called next friends or any others to

interfere with her life as it is today.
 Mrs. Eddy Is well able to take care of herself. She understands the com plieated details of her lawsuit. and of her very large religious following far bet ter than the average woman of twenty five could do.
 T questioned her in detail as to the lawsuit which seeks to deprive her of her property. and as to the deed of trust which she recently executed These matters are clear in her mind.
 "The charges against Mrs Eddy are false in my opinion. But if all the charges made against her mental condl- ton were true, that very truth would con stitute an additional reason for leaving her as she is in ideally beautiful home. surrounded by good women devoted to her. to whom her wishes are law, in whom she has absolute confidence, and whose devotion makes her life happy.
 "The efforts to deprive Mrs Eddy in her old age of her freedom of action, control of the property which she has accumu- lated, is stupid or vicious, and l say this as one having no interest whatever in Christian Science.
 "To interfere with Mrs Eddy's life, to take away from her her complete liberty of action, would be q shameful outrage, and l am convinced that no court will en- courage the effort l shall write you more fully before preparing the article that l have promised"

In the same way the struggle for great wealth in Montana copper mines, and the residence of s. R.

 Nope

 'I don't work"
 Don't work and don't go to school; you just simply loaf around, eh?' con tinued the lawyer.
 Yep; that's about all
 "The fact Is, you're a pretty tfihing sort of a boy, aren't you?"

STUDY OF OLD AGE ILLS
BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, June 29.-(Special.)- .)-The his
 toric Fifth Avenue hotel is to be torn 1 away to make room for a mammoth office building. Up to a few years ago
 the hotel had been for years the head
 quarters of the republican organization
 of this state. It doesn't take long mem
 ory to recall when Senator Platt sat in the
 Amen corner'' and ruled the party in his cynical way. There is but one other
 hotel in the city, the old Astor House. that can surpass the Fifth avenue in the
 "reminiscences of the last half a century In the latter are the rooms where Dick
 ems and Webster rested after their travels.
 The Fifth avenue, which has just been sold for $7,500000 by the Amos R. Enc estate, was built in 1859 by MT. Enc on
 the. site of an old two-story tavern At that time Madison Square was little more
 than pasture. But MT. Enc had great faith in the future of New York, and the structure he raised was q wonder for it's day, occupying eighteen city lots and costing $2,O00000, a sum MT. E,no's friends were sure he would sink.
 From the moment of it's opening on l August 20, 1859, however, the house was | a success Men of note from all over l the world made it their headquarters l when they came to New York. As poli- l tlcians came to frequent the place many
 q plot was matched in its corridors. This
 was even before the Amen corner' was
 established by the Republican politicians
 and Thomas C. Platt, then republican boss of the state, held sway in the nook he
 made famous.
 1 It was at the Peabody dinner at the 1 Fifth Avenue, in 1S67 that the movement
 to nominate, Grant for the Presidency was l started. Other political deals followed
 until the place became identified with 1 the republican party Grant was shel- l tered by it's roof, as were other Presi- l dents, foreigners of note, men of letters,
 and men and women wamous in many l fields. When the Prince of Wales visited 1 New York on his American tour he l stayed there
 1 The first regiment of volunteers re- 1 cruited for the Union army at the out
 break of the civil war stopped at the ! Fifth Avenue on it's way south from 1 New England, and after that, all through
 the war, military and naval officers and I civil leaders made the place d rendez- vous.

Sir James Crlchton Browne declared re- gently that "every man is entitled to his century" Mrs. Russell Sage has just given S300,O0O the best part of which will be used to test the authority of this assertion. The gift is to found an institute of pathology in connection with the city department of charities where the ills of old age will be watched by the doctors in their efforts to discover the fountain of youth.
 Through the study of children's ills and the epidemic diseases, medical science has increased the chance of attaining ma ture years but 1t has made little advance in adding to the expectation of life after middle age. The doctors who will work under the direction of the Sage institute will watch from day to day the thousands of old persons cared for by the city. The mere keeping of breath in frail bodies beyond a normal term of years will not be their object. Presumably their desire is to prolong for the worlds veterans the joy of usefulness of life. Metchnkonf has declared that q science can be built up to serve this end.

Not long ago a young man came to New York from Virginia to make his fortune. He got a job at meagre sal
 ary and a place to sleep in a furnished
 room house. The furnished room that
 goes with a meagre saiary in New York is in no sense home. It is merely place to sleep and in many cases very
 disagreeable place to sleep. A chance ac- quaintance informed the young man that he must not let loneliness discourage him. that he probably would have to go for
 weeks at a time without seeing any one
 he knew with the exception of his busi- ness associates.
 q don't think l shall mind that" he said in tones of youthful optimism, 'I like to watch the crowds, l even like the noise. l don't believe one could ever be lonely in this place."
 After this conversation it was two weeks before the southerner and his chance ac- quaintance met again. The young fellow looked downcast. He had even lost flesh. Whats the matter old chap?" asked
 the chance acquaintance.
 "I don't like this place." declared the fortune hunter. "I have walked the streets every evening for a week and you are the l first person 1 have met that l knew 1 am tired of this never ending selfish, l cold-faced jostling crowd l am tired of the noise. When l go home to sleep I can't get rid of the outrageous sounds They ring in my ears all night long. Yes, | 1 am sick of it all. l am going home | where l can walk down the street speal | to every one l meet and call them by their first names" He left the next day l for his Virginia home.

THB LAVA FLOW.

A party Of excursionists left
Maui Saturday evening for the
scene of the lava flow in Kau, Ha-
waii. They reached Hilo the fol
lowing morning and after an hours
stay in town went on to the flow.
In Hilo they were joined by a
party of ninety more excursionists
and arrived at the foot of the flow
about six o'clock on Sunday even
ing. The dense smoke obscured
the view to a great extent, especial
ly the lower part OF the flow, but
the upper part was very bright,
especially where il poured its mol
ten mass over precipice This
point was estimated to be some
twelve or fifteen miles distant and
at an elevation of four or five
thousand miles.
The upper part of the flow is des-
cribed as a river of liquid fire that
runs at a most terrific rate and as
it descends steams of lava are
spouted INTO the air givinga grand
effect. As the lava flows to the
lower levels it spreads out and as
it cools it loses it's brilliant effect
But even after the surface is black
ened and changed to a-a, from be-
meath will spout liquid lava press
ed through the hardened surface
by pressure from above. The lava
has at no time, no the lower levels,
run in a steady stream but has run
in spurts. After the lava has
spread out it will harden on the
surface and as the molten mass
beneath gains volume from the
stream that flows between the
earth and the cooled and hearden-
ed surface it will break out and
run first in one direction and then
in another,
The reports to the effect that the
lava was running into the sea were
untrue. The lava at no place has
reached the sea although the
amount of lava and the width and
height of the flow were correctly
given.

The building is.a neat one and

There is a large room for the

The grouping of all of the Coun-
ty officers together in one building
will be found much more convent
ent than was the case with former
conditions when each officer had to
find an office where he could and
consequently they were scattered
all over town.
