NANCIAL AFFAIRS OF MRS.
MARY BAKER EDDY.

Concord, N H., March 4.-Develop
ments regarding the bill in equity tc
secure an accounting of the financial
affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy
head of the Christian Science organ
ization, which has been filed in the
Merrimac county superior court, are
awaited with great interest Leaders

D., only son of Mrs. Eddy by her first
husband; Miss Mary Baker Glover
Mr.. Glover's daughter, and George W.
Baker of Bangor, Me-. Mrs. Eddys

influence, control or fraud Of others
present legal proceedings and that
Mrs. Eddy lives under the charge and

Controlled by Designing Persons.
Mr. Glover claims that in the last
twenty-five years his letters to his
mother have never had a direct reply
from her and from other matters re-
lating to his attempt at correspond
ence Mr.. Glover states in the petition
he believes that Mrs Eddy Is sur.
rounded by designing persons who are
using her and her condition for their
own selfish ends
The petition then sets forth 'the
extensive and valuable" real and per-
sonal property of Mrs. Eddy and al
leges that the defendants end others
manage the same solely, according
to their own will and pleasure"
In dealing with the revenue accru-
ing to Mrs. Eddy from her writings

forth that probably several million
dollars were nettcd to the leader of

sill moral objections to filing up with
whiskey or drugs because one has 8
cold, the injurious physical effect
should lie sufficient to keep one from
using these strong medicines.
The most sensible as we'll rs the only
scientific nav to treat cough or cold
is by inhaling med location that will kill
the germs sud give relief To the irri.
tatcd mucous membrane in the nose
thros, and lungs.
Among the few remedies that are
used IN this way, Hyomei stands pre-
eminent. II IL breathed through n
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, and the fret bresth Of its

An American, a Hungarian and a
German, travelling companions in Eu-
rope, discovered that the birthday of
each came on the same day and ar
ranged a dinner at a Heidelberg hotel
of the Americana German ustro- Hun
garian kind to celebrate the occasion.
The American designed the souvenir
bill of fare, on which he drew the arms
of the nations represented. The shield
on the American coat-of-arms showed
thirteen stars, and a discussion arose
: because the Hungarian said that the
American did not know the badge of
his own country. After the thirteen
original colonies and the states had
been spoken of as reasons for the stars
in the shield, and the question being
still undecided, while the dinner wait
ed, it was agreed to call on General
Guenther, United States consul gem
eral at Frankfurt, for a decision. On
the way to the telephone a United
States coin was consulted, and showed
that the shield was without stars
That's what | wanted to tell you.

bered it, said the Hungarian As a

One of the striking results of the
great progress of the automobile indus
try has been the tremendous develop
ment of the manufacture of aluminium
of which some idea may be had merely
by quoting a few figures. In France no
less than $4,000 horsepower are con-
tinually employed in the making of
aluminium; Germany utilizes some q, =
600 for the same purpose. the United
states like amount, and Scotland
about 5000 horsepower This repre-
sents something like 81, 900 horsepower
in round numbers-an amount that can
easily be doubled in the works now in
existence. AS each horsepower repre-
sents an annual output of 200 kilos of
aluminium. Automobile calculates that
the total yearly production is some
thing like 1850 tons. of which -. 300
are produced III Great Britain and on

FUTURE KING IS
GIVEN DISCIPLINE

LONDON, July 20.-The future king
of England has been sentenced to de
faulter's drill" much TO the amuse-
ment of many young mothers whose
sons are cadets al. osborne College, Isle
of Wight. The Prince of Wales when
he heard of it enjoyed the news almost
as much as when he heard that his
son had suffered his first Licking and
got black eye after a few days resi-
dence at the college.
Little Prince Edward is irrepressible.
He is in such splendid health and
spirits that he is not paying as much
attention as he should TO the classes
indoors. The result was that no
amount of flushing on the part of
the instructor during a mathematical
class could make him keep quiet, and
he continued to talk and laugh with
his companions until he was ordered
out of the room to receive his pun
ishment.
The latter consisted of an hour of
hard drill while all the other boys
were playing cricket. The punishment
created something of a sensation
among the other boys, but the super
intendent has received very strong in
structions from the Prince of Wales
that his son is to be punished on all
occasions in exactly the same way as
the other cadets.
Prince Edwards greatest ambition |
now is to be a skilled ships engineer, |
and he is most happy when he is polk /
ing around inside warship.

A Manila paper presents a new and
attractive picture of Aguinaldo, erst-
while rebel leader. 1t says: 'Agui-
naldo has so generally been identified
with his role of soldier that too little
attention is given to the role he is
now playing as emulator of Cincinna-
tus, that of farmer or haciendero, in
which by his example he is probably
comforting upon his countrymen as
much if not more real good than in his
more distinguished position. The part
which Aguinaldo is now playing was
brought out prominently this morning
in a conference held with the governor
general, in which Captain Sleeper, di-
rector of lands; Mr.. Miller, DIR. Ne
som and Mr.. Edwards also took part.
1t was regarding the use of a steam
pillow on the linus estate, a. part of
which General Aguinaldo occupies as a
tenant of the government. According
to General Aguinaldo and the bureau
of agricultural experts, the linus es-
tate is SO oVergrown with trees, that
1T will be necessary to put a force of
men to work cutting and clearing be-
fore agricultural operations can begin.
This will be started Immediately and
will be followed by a grubbing device
to remove all the larger roots, and then
the steam pillow will be brought down
from Laguna. The land on the linus
estate is said to be among the richest
of the estates acquired from the friars
1t has been lying idle for so long a
time, however, that it is now complete
ly covered with a growth of trees, the
trunks of some of which are as much
as six inches in diameter
