COMES TO AN END.
ARGUMENTS OVER EDDY TRUST
DEED COMPLETED.
FOLLOWERS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Crowd Court Room to Hear Closing
Address In First Legal Battle
Over Suit.

Concord, N. H., May 25-Arguments
we're completed in the Merrimack
county superior court on the motion OF
the trustees Of the estate of Mary
Baker Eddy, head Of the Christian
Science church, to intervene and be
substituted as plaintiffs in the suit
brought by her son. George W. Glover,
and others, to compel an accounting OF
her property.
Judge r. N. Chamberlin, the presid
ing justice, issued an order that all
affidavits and all citations In the case
be fled by next Tuesday and this de-
cision on the motion will be given
later.
All day an interested crowd. made
up in large part Of members OF the
Christian Science church, filled the
courtroom.
Most of the time was occupied by
counsel for the petitioners, but counsel
for the three trustees, who presented
his main argument in favor OF the
motion, made a brief closing plea.
Both Dewitt C. Howe and former
Senator William E. Chandler, Of coun-
sci for the petitioners. characterized
the motion Of the trustees for leave to
intervene as absurd, and declared that
the attitude OF the trustees was rather
that Of defendants than plaintiffs.
The point was made also that the
deed Of trust transferring the property
Of Mrs. Eddy to the three trustees was
executed after notice Of the present
suit had been received.
In answer TO this Gen. Strseter
said that no legal notice OF the suit
was served on the defendants until
after the execution Of the deeds OF
trust. He denied that there was any
thing in the evidence 10 show that the
trustees had prejudiced the case or
that, as counsel for the petitioners In
timated, the trustees would dismiss
the suit II admitted as plaintiffs.
Judge Asks Questions.
During the closing arguments OF
Gen. Streeter Judge Chamberlin In
terjected several question.
He asked how the question of Mrs.
Eddy's competency could be determ.
ined without trial, and remarked that
1t seemed strange that the court
should determine the question involved
without trial.
Mr.. Streeter, in reply, said the
Judge could determine the question OF
Mrs. Eddy's competency by a visit TO
her and he thereupon extended an in.
vitation to Judge Chamberlin and Mr..
Chandler to visit Mrs. Eddy with him
and discuss the case with her. Mr..
Streeter added, however, that before
question Of competency was settled,
two other questions should be de.
cided.

HesIth--Doctors Say Patient May
Live But Few Days.

Canton, O., May 24.-Mrs. Ida Sax
ton Mckinley has suffered a stroke Of
paralysis and her attending physician,
DR.. o. e. Portman, said that she Is
unconscious and there Is no hope OF
her recovery.
A message was sent to Surgeon Gen.
eral Rixey at Washington, asking that
he come here II possible. Admiral
Rixey was physician to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and attended Mrs. Nc
Kinley during her last serious illness
after the trip Of President and Mrs.
Mckinley to California and Ia thought
to understand well the treatment neces-
sary for her.
Mrs. Mckinley has been out driving
almost daily until Tuesday. although
she suffered from an attack Of grip i
week ago. Later she suffered an at
tack Of bronchitis.
Tuesday she was stricken with a
slight attack Of apoplexy and her left
arm became paralyzed. Later she
lapsed into a comatose state and be-
came unconscious. The attending ply
sician says that owing to her enfee-
bled condition the end may come at
any time.
After consultation at the Mckinley
home by DR.. e. o. Portman, the family
physician Of Mrs Mckinley, and DR..
]. e. Eyman, superintendent Of tho
Massillon state hospital, a statement
was issued that there are no indica-
tions that Mrs. Mckinley could long
survive the attack of apoplexy from
which she IL suffering.
The doctors say, however, that they
think death will not come for a day or
two.
Mrs. Mckinley Is In comatose con-
dition, and II Is stated that there are
no, grounds for hope Of a better turn.

NEW YORK LANDLADY MAKES A
oREWsoME DISCOVERY.
Murdered Man an Armenian Clergy,
man-suffocation Cause Of Death,
Says the Coroner.

New York, May 27.-Murdered by
suffocation by being placed In
trunk when still alive and the lid
tightly closed upon him was the fate
that befell an Armenian priest, sup
posed to be Rev. Father Casper. His
budy was found In a furnished room
on the third floor Of No. 333 West
Thirty-seventh street
Every available man in the detective
bureau and the entire detective force
of the West Thirty-seventh street sta
tion, In the shadow Of which the
murder was committed. is at work on
the case.
There are several theories on which
the police are working. The most
promising of these Is that the priest
was killed for the purpose OF robbery
Another, which several detectives
from the central Office are following, is
that the priest was a victim Of feud
which has existed in the Greek and
Armenian churches In Jersey City.
Two men are suspected Of the crime,
probable at any moment.
Henry Sherrer and his wife Anna
occupy the apartment where the crime
was discovered. The Sherrers have
six rooms. Mrs. Sherrer told the
police that two men came to her about
three weeks ago and rented a room.
They were known to her as Paul
Sarkis" and John" They had the
front room, for which they paid 50 a
week.
"Sarkis" Is described as being about
21 year old, short and Of slight build
and Of medium complexion, with a
slight, dark mustache He said he was
a carpenter. John" Is about 35 years
old, weighs about 1876 pounds. has dark
hair and Is smoothly shaven. He was
employed In a restaurant.
Mrs. Sherrer said the priest went to
the house to visit the men three times
to her knowledge. The last time he
was seen was Wednesday morning at
8 o'clock. He stayed In the house
overnight twice, sleeping In a small
room off the one occupied by the two
men. Wednesday morning he left the
house, accompanied by "Sarkis."
In the afternoon two men delivered
a trunk to the house. One said he
was an expressman and the other told
Mrs. Sherrer his name was "Sarkis,
although he was not the "Sarkis'
whom she knew. They placed the
trunk In the front room. Mrs. Sherrei
said she noticed II was heavy and that
the men had difficulty in carrying II
up the stairs.
John" and Paul Sarkis" returned
TO the house in the evening. Mrs
Sherrer said, and, after writing some
letters in the kitchen, told her there
was some mistake about the trunk
that the wrong one had been delivered
They said they would take II away
but as they had not paid for their
room for the week she said they could
not take It out. That night they dis.
appeared and they have not been seen

\ FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Member of Scouting Party Digs Way
Through Mountain of Snow to Safety

That battle IL worth fighting to
the very end, no matter how discour-
aging the situation or how apparently
implacable the foe, is shown in Mr.
J. W. Steele's Sketches" of the army
frontier If courage and strength had
given out only few moments sooner
the hero of the story would never
have told the tale.
A certain young soldier was one of
a western scouting party which was
exploring the headwaters of the ella
snowstorm had caused the company
to lose their way, and they rode, day
after day, silent in the dread of com
ing cold and starvation.
AS long as the snow melted in the
sun they could control their thirst,
and hares supplied them with food.
One night, while the party was camp
ing, a soldier walking by himself,
thought he saw a path. Following it
along for a little way, he sat down in
the shelter of a boulder. Suddenly
he heard a great rushing noise as of a
furious wind. An avalanche swept
down the mountainside, sending a
great white bulk into the valley. The
soldier crept near the shelter OF the
rock, while the roar deafened him,
and the foaming white sea of snow
settled over him.
The camp was not touched In the
morning, when the members of the
party woke, they missed their com
rade, and saw what had happened.
Looking at the great heap of snow
they said, He is dead" and went on
their way.
The soldier, however, was not dead.
He was hemmed in between the rock

Recastina Old Guns

The completeness of the restoration
of .-Old Ironsides." on which the navy
department has been at work for
some time, has lately been attested
by the casting of the big guns with
which the ship will be armed There
are "A of them, duplicates of the
famous old pieces with which the
Constitution fought its famous battle
with the Guerrero. Each of them
weighs 3,400 pounds, exclusive of its
carriage The carriages are also faith
full reproductions, made after old
drawings and prints. When all the
work on the Constitution is finished.
the modern visitor who steps aboard
will have the sensation of passing
into another century in history and
another era in naval architecture and
equipment; and the chances are that
no one will ever again want to tear
her tattered ensign down
