 A milk-white alligator, with blazing red eyes. yellow leather winged bats, blind rcd swallows and vari-colored snakes wrisging in and out among skulls are few Of the animals that are now known to inhabit mysterious subterranean cave on the shore of Montego Bay, in the island of Jamaica.
 What other freaks of nature or un- couth species may dwell therein, the dis covering party did not wait to see, after the encounter with the albino saurian.

 It was on Monday of last week, wniie the captain, Mrs Thomsen the ehlet en- gineer, Turner. and his wife were walking on the shores of Montego Bay that the cave was found. Believing that it was likely hiding place for the treasures ..

WANT THE LIGHT
ON EDDY CASE
CONCORD PEOPLE HOPE TRIAL
WILL BRING OUT THE
kEAL FACTS.

Cncord. y. H. May Christian
Science believes and Eddy sympathi-
GERS We're the most interesting listen
ers az Yesterdays hearing before
Judge Chamberlain when ex-senator
Chandler Disclosed SO much of the
real story o. Mrs. Eddy's condition.
To many among the spectators the
story is a revelation. and It carried
conviction. There has been a revul-
sion OF feeling among Mrs Eddy's
own friends and neighbors in Con
cord since the bill in equity was first
filed.
The fiction of Mrs. Eddy's daily
drive through the streets, her face
screened fro mthe gaze of the curious
by sunshade inside the closed car
riage is still kept up. but men and
women who for years never thought
of doubling now smile a little sadly
as the carriage passes.
Concord folks are anxious for the
trial which will bring out the entire
truth.
Not spirit of antagonism. but
with kcenest interest and open minds
the majority OF the Christian Scien-
lists OF this town listened to declara-
tions Of counsel yesterday The story
that younger woman in the Pleas
ant View household had been used
for years to impersonate Mrs. Eddy.
at first ridiculed by the most devoted
adherents of the Christian Science
founder, is generally believed in Con-
cord now. even by those who we're
most skeptical at first. The discovery
OF the Herring letter telling of the
internal strife among the Pleasant
View clique raging around the head
OF an aged woman, has shaken con
fidence in the denials so lavishly cir
culated at each fresh exposure.
Not the least interesting of the
points brought out by the days hear
ing was the light thrown upon the
alleged audit of Mrs Eddy's ac-
counts for fourteen years back, pre-
sented in the form of an AFFIDAVIT by
Mr.. Chase of Boston The account
ant swore that he had examined all
books, all statements of receipts and
expenditures and had listed all bonds
and securities. and as a conclusion.
found that Calvin A. Frye had ac-
counted for every cent that he ever
handled.
Notwithstanding this Gen. Streeter
was badgered into the admission in
court yesterday that just previous
to March 6, when the alleged trust
deed was executed and $871,OOO
turned over to the six trustees a sum
in excess of 100000 was taken from
Mrs. Eddy's funds and placed in Gen.
Streeters safe. This was a trust
fund which Mrs. Eddy hurriedly Gre
ated for her son, George w. Glover
