4 MercifuI nIntnrmnn-

From the Third Rail
The passengers on a crowded crosstown
car in Brooklyn one day last week felt
the brakes applied with such suddenness
that only few Of those who were stand
ing withstoOd the jar. Then they saw the
motOrman jump from the platform and
kneel in front OF the car Several Of the
passengers made their way out and We're
surprised TO see the motorman stroking
the feathers Of a mother dove that sat on
one of the rails with little one under
her wing
I've never taken a life yet, he ex-
planned as he placed them on the curb out
of harms way and I don't propose 10

ROOSEVELT LUCK AGAIN.
Hartman Revelations just I'm Time
10 Nip Plans of Conservatives.

From the New York World
The great difficulty experienced by con-
sentative Republicans Of the standing Of
Senator Foraker and Senator Scott. who
are willing to stake their own popularity
on the chance Of rescuing the Republican
party from the clutches Of Rooseveltism.
Is that just when their plans are all laid
their corporation friends desert them.
For instance. they had every right TO ex-
poet Mr.. Harrimans steadfast support.
They and their believers in con-
stitutonal principles had done what they
could to prevent President Roosevelt from
putting the railroads under strict Federal
control A grave crime had been COM
mitted against property rights in the name
of the administration. Unfortunately Mr..
Hartman gets caught in series of I'M
lawful traffic contracts and scandalOus
stock manipulatiOns just at the hour set
for the deliyerance Of their party from the
hands Of rate-law radicals. Mr.. Rogers
and Mr. Rockefeller turn out 20 be Mr.
Harrinlau-s accessories. Their Standard
oil trust is also nipped by the admins
tratIon at the business Of rebating and
brought into the criminal courts. Who
knows when Mr. Hartman will land
there2
Think what a disappointment II means
90 the conservative leaders Of the Senate!
The country was beginning 10 be bored by
President RooseveIts fdgety ways The
negro vote was lining up. The Republican
National Committee was as good as cap
tured. Wall street was IN ambush, every
knife sharpened and every check-oook
within reach Foraker and Scott had
been fitted for bright new uniforms. All
m once M Roosevelt, instead OF throw
ing I'D his hands at the first signs OF 4
sharp fight comes into camp with HarIl-
man and half a dozen Standard OH bank
eIs and directors in tow. How Is any
party 10 be seriously saved when suca
things happen and people greet win en-
thusiastic applause Interruptions not pro-
,-ided for in the programme?

MRS. EDDY EXAMINED AS 10 HER COMPETENCY
The Investigation Conducted It Her Horne by Masters Appointed by the Court

Concord. x. H., Aug. 14.-Mrs. Eddy. head of the Christian Scientist church. underwent a mental examination late today by the masters who had been appointed to determine her competency in business matters. The examination was made at her home at Pleasant View in this city by Judge Aldrich. pr. Jelly and Attorney Park, the masters. The only other persons present were General Frank Streeter, Mrs. Eddy's counsel in the case, William F.. Chand- fer. counsel for the next friends" and a stenographer. Mrs. Eddy received the visitors in her private sitting room and by arrangement with counsel an- swered a series of questions asked by the three masters who took turns ex- amining her upon various points.
 Judge Aldrich began the interview by assuring Mrs. Eddy of his inten- tion to make the call as agreeable as possible to her. Mrs. Eddy thanked him, adding "My only difficulty is slight deafness. I can see to read com mon pica but can't hear distinctly without some difficulty" Judge Ald- rich said he had some life insurance coming due and asked Mrs. Eddy's ad- vice as to how to invest the proceeds. Not understanding at first, Mrs. Eddy replied that she put no money into life insurance. God insures my life" she said. Then thinking the judge desired information as to her investment. she described the trusteeship created by her in March, saying it was entirely her own idea.
 In reply to questions by Dr. Jelly. Mrs. Eddy started to describe the de- velopment of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy was going to speak of her in vestigation into spiritualism when the masters withdrew from the room ex- blaming that they thought she was growing weary.
 Returning after brief interview they heard Mrs. Eddy describe, in an- swers to questions from MT. Parker her method of life.
