and have no doubt will not allow his
unfilial conduct to have any influence
in regard to any financial provision
her maternal love has prompted her to
make for him.
Right here, wish to make as plain
as possible that the $4,000 trust deed.

pleted at least three days before she
had any idea her son would be party
to any such proceeding as that brought
against her, anad was not prompted by
any desire to obtain possession of any
letters held by him."
"Is Mrs. Eddy cognizant of all the
details of the receivership petition and
does she fully understand their mean
ing?" General Baker was asked.
"Yes," replied the general.
ION the morning after it had been
filed, she sent her carriage for me. On
my entering her library, where she
was sitting alone, she showed me a
copy Of the Boston Herald, in which
the bill had been printed in full.
"Have You Seen This?'
"'Have you seen this! she asked.
II replied that had

What astonished me most at that
interview was Mrs. Eddy's calmness.
OF course, she was little disturbed
by the action of her son after all her
kindness to him, but she appeared
more grieved than indignant In fact,
she was not half as indignant as was.
"This afternoon, too, when saw her
with her counsel, she discussed the
case actively with us, but in no spirit
of anger. She dominated the debate,
however, and showed mind as keen
and alert as that of many a woman for
ty years her junior.
II would readily give all possess to
be assured that at eighty-six, If
should live to be that age, should be
in as good condition as is Mrs. Eddy
today.

What is your estimate of Mrs. Ed
dys Wealth." he was asked.
-.. '--+-' She -6ave AWAY $685. 600. -...-,---
'Mrs. Eddy's wealth is mach smaller
than is generally supposed. do not
know the amount of her income, but
l do know that it is only within the
last few years that it has been any
thing considerable. She has always
been liberal giver. In one year alone
know she gave away 1926, 000."
What is Mrs. Eddys daily routine,
if you know, Mr.. Baker?"
She breakfasts at 8, then proceeds
to her library and attends to her cor
respondence, which is always tremen-
dous, as she personally directs every
movement in connection with the Chris
tian Science church.
"At noon she has luncheon. At p.
m. she goes out for drive. From 2
to 4 p. m. she receives those persons
with whom she has made appoint
ments. Sometimes have seen as
many as eight persons waiting to see
her. Between 4 and 6 p. m. she attends
to literary work. At p. m. she dimes,
and after dinner resumes her literary
work, retiring at about 9 o'clock.
Notwithstanding her age, she rises
from her chair and walks downstairs
and out to her carriage unaided."
As an explanation Of Mrs. Eddy's Sc
cluded life, Mr.. Baker said: Mrs.
Eddy, as you will see from the pro-
gram of her daily work, is a very busy
woman. Her entire income is derived
from her writings. If, in addition to
transacting ordinary business, she
were to be at the beck and call of ev-
cry Tom, Dick and Harry who wished
to see her, it would be impossible for
her to any literary work. For that
reason she denies herself to all callers
who do not have actual and important
business with her"
Enthusiast on Mines.
Explaining the financial condition of
George w. Glover, Mr.. Baker said:
"Mr. Glover is an enthusiast on the
subject of mining. He lives out in
that district in which the tremendous
ly rich Homestake mine is situated,
and he believes a fortune as vast as
the one derived from that property
awaits him In another hole in the
ground. All the money he has been
able to obtain he has expended in
working out prospects, and investing
in mining stocks.
"Mrs. Eddy, from time to time, has
given him large sums, which he has
spent in such ventures. At the time
she gave him this money she was not
aware of the use to which he was ap-
plying it. That is to say, she believed
the gifts she made him were used by
him for the proper support of himself
and family, and not for speculative
purposes.
Under these circumstances, it is not
strange IL she refused to continue her
gifts to him."
