MRS. MCKINLEY NEAR DEATH.
Wife Of Late President Suffers Stroke
of PARALYSIS.

Canton, O., May 24-After a con,
sutation yesterday afternoon at the
Mckinley home by DR.. E. o. Port
mann, the family physician of Mrs.
Mckinley, and DR.. J. e. lyman, ST.
perintendent of the Massillon state
hospital physician of wide reouta-
ton, statement was issued that
there were no indications that Mrs
Mckinley could long survive the at
tack of apoplexy from which she is
suffering.
The doctors say, however, that
they think dissolution will not come
for a day or two.
Mrs Mckinley is in comatose
condition and it is stated that there
are no grounds for hope of better
turn. 1t is announced that Surgeon
General Rixey by special railway ar
rangements will reach here at 6:2S
this morning.
DR.. Portmann. after his visit to the
Mckinley home at II o'clock last
night, announced that he found a
change for the better in Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition. She was then in
semi-conscious condition. DR.. Port
mann, however, said the change was
not such as to lead him to expect
great improveme Neither did he
think that a fatal turn could be ex-
pected before morning, but could
predict only survival of few days
at the most, judging from the present
state of the patient.

FIVE ARE KILLED BY GAS.

Chicago, May 24--Five workmen
were killed and a dozen others seri-
ously injured yesterday afternoon
when an ammonia pipe exploded in
the beef killing department Of the
Armour company.
The room was full of workmen at
the time and the deadly ammonia
fumes, escaping from under high
PRESSURE penetrated through every
department in the building in such
a short time that twenty of the men
were overcome before they could
make their escape to the fresh air.
All but five of these men were
dragged from the place by their CON-
panions in such serious condition
that it was necessary to take them
to nearby hospital.
An Intellectual effort to search for
dead in the interior of the building
was made by employees wearing safe
ty masks, but they were driven back
by the fumes and it was not until
six hours after the explosion that the
body of an unidentified man, burned
beyond recognition, was taken from
the fourth floor A few minutes
later four bodies were found, all Of
them having been burned in a horri-
BILE manner.

EDDY CASE IS UP
BIG SUIT OPENS IN CONCORD,
N. H:, COURT.
MUST PROVE INCOMPETENCE
If Next Friends" Are to Have Stand
ing, Says Attorney, Must Show
Mrs. Eddy Incompetent.

Concord, N. H., May 24.-Following
several skirmishes> the first legal bat
tie fought about the person of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, leader of the
Christian Science denomination, In
connection with the suit in equity
seeking an accounting Of her prop
erty, was opened in the Merrimac
county superior court here yester'
day.
The original suit. brought by Mrs.
Eddys son, George w. Glover of
Lead, S. d., his daughter. Mary Baker
Glover, and George w. Baker of Ban
gor, Me-, a nephew of Mrs. Eddy was
brought in the name of the Christian
Science leader by her relatives, act
ing as next friends" and was d.
rected against Calvin A. Frye, Mrs.
Eddys secretary, and several other
leaders of the Christian Science
church asking for an accounting of
Mrs. Eddy's property, which the
next friends" alleged was being mis-
applied by the defendants. Things
became complicated when three trus-
tees, Henry NJ. Baker. Archibald
Mcclellan and Josiah E. Fernald,
were appointed by Mrs. Eddy and
were empowered by trust deed exc
cuted by her to manage her property.
Yesterdays hearing was upon the
motion of the trustees that they be
substituted as "next friends" as plain
tiffs in the suit against Frye and
other defendants
Nearly all of the ten defendants
We're in court when the hearing
opened, although Frye. the principal
defendant, did not appear.
Among the prominent spectators
was Judge William c. Ewing of Chi
cago, one of the most prominent
members of the Christian Science
denomination.
Gen. Frank S. Streeter of this city,
chief counsel for the defendants,
occupied the floor throughout the
days proceedings. His argument
was devoted principally to the con-
tention that in order to prevent the
trustees being substituted for next
friends" as plaintiffs in the original
suit. the next friends" must prove
MIS-. Euuy S mcOmpetency TO execute
the trust deed giving her trustees
power to act for her. General Streeter
claimed that it was the legal right
of the trusees to prosecute the suit
agains the ten defendants. He sub
mitted the trust deed to the court
and asserted that it was valid. To
make it invalid. he claimed, the next
friends" must prove Mrs. Eddy in
capable of making the transfer Of
her property to the trustees. If the
deed is valid, he said, not only all Of
Mrs. Eddy's property has been trans
ferred, but the right to prosecute the
suit passed to the trustees and they
ask to be allowed to carry it on. II
Mrs. Eddy's competency to make the
deed is regarded as material then the
question of competency must he de-
cided first.
Judge Chamberlain announced at
the outset Of the hearing that the
proceedings should be confined strict
ly to the question OF the interven-
ton of the trustees as plaintiffs. He
said that he would not consider Mrs.
Eddy's competency at this time.
The hearing will be resumed today.

He Was Thicker Skinned,

Walter Howard, the London drama.
fist, was leaving the stage door of a
theater one evening when an anemic-
looking youth stepped up and said:
Are you Mr.. Howard?" The author
replied in the affirmative, whereupon
the young fellow said he wanted to go
on the stage. Noticing his evident
unfitness for such life, Howard ad.
vised him to stick to his present &C.
cupation, whatever it was. II am as.
sistant pawnbroker across the way"
said the ambitious young man. And
what do your people think of your
going on the stage?" asked Howard.
"Oh, they are right against it," was
the jaunty reply, "but shouldn't mind
the disgrace myself"

KINDS OF CURRENCY.
China and Parts Of Russia Have the
Most Unique.

Chinese money Is traced back three
thousand years before Christ One
emperor objected to copper coinage,
gathered whole issue together, bur-
led it deep into the earth, and threw
in on top the workmen employed in
digging the pit. The pu and tao cur
rencies were struck in the form cf
scraps Of cloth of knives for barter,
and were in existence from about the
seventh to the second century before
Christ. The commonest Of Chinese
money Is the cash, a round metal disk
with a square hole in the center; a
thousand OF these are worth barely
IS cents. Ones cook in China goes
to market with great strings OF this
heavy money round neck, shoulders,
and waist, but even when weighted
with as much as strong man can car
~, very little of our money Is repre-
sented. On the Russo-Chinese borders
green tea pressed into bricks has been
the money Of the country for thou
sand years.-Sunday Magazine.
