THE MRS. EDDY SUIT.
BELIEF THAT THE CASE WILL
NEVER BE TRIED.

Boston.-1n the minds of many who
have been in close touch with the matter
of the suit in equity brought in the
name of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
head of the Christian Scientists, by her
son, George w. Glover; his daughter,
Mary Baker Glover; nephew, George
w. Baker of Bangor, Me-; with whom
DR.. j. Foster Eddy, the leaders adopt
ed son and second cousin, of Epson,
N. H., have since joined, the belief that
the suit will never be heard in open
court is deepening into almost a con.
viction.
Gen. Frank S. Streeter, who represents
no one in the case but Mrs. Eddy her
self, is not talking for publication, Or
even as an evidence of good faith, about
the matter, and Nathaniel E. Martin
of Howe & Martin, who are associated
with ex-United States Senator William
E. Chandler for the nominal plaintiffs,
is also preserving an impenetrable 81
lenee.
Despite this reticence on both sides,
however, the correspondent is in posses
sion of certain. information which leads
to the belief that the predictions out
lined above have basis in fact.
Although Mrs. Eddy is, as matter
of record, the actual plaintiff in the suit
in equity, which demands an accounting
of her property among other things, she
is a most unwilling plaintiff, and it can
oa cold with ,1oCitivanacc +hot cba hos
no sympathy with the litigation started
by her "next friends. Although no
publicity has been given to the fact, it
is known that the attorneys and those
associated with them, who are acting for
the "next friends,' are doing great
ering every scrap of information they
can in regard to Mrs. Eddy's Ere, NJ
incident of which, from the cradle 20
the present time, is being overlooked.
Emissaries of the "next friends
have recently been securing out-of- the
way places in this state and in Maine
and Massachusetts as well, inquiring IN
to every incident of Mrs. Eddy's career
with the minutest care.
The attorneys for the petitioners in
tend, it is understood, to go into court
with the contention that not only is Mrs.
Eddy now mentally incompetent, but
also that throughout her life she has
been mentally deficient
One of the objects of this contention,
it is understood, is for the purpose of
opening the way for the introduction of
testimony as to the incidents in the
aged woman's life. If they were al
lowed to go into court with this con-
tention there is scarcely anything in the
way of revealing all of Mrs. Eddy IS
life history, it is said, which the plain
tiffs' lawyers could be estopped from
offering.

Cucumber Milk.

Best thing in all the wide world for
a complexion that is yellow or speckled
with freckles or dulled with tan. Also
very nice to use as a cleansing agent.
Slice, but do not peel, three good-sized
cucumbers; add half a cup of water
and boil until pulp is soft; strain and
cool. TO one and one-half ounces of
the cucumber juice add an equal
amount of alcohol. This makes three
ounces of cucumber essence. In this
dissolve one-fourth of an ounce of pow
dered CASTLE soap. Let stand over
night, next morning adding eight
ounces of cucumber juice, one-half
ounce of oil of sweet almonds and fif-
teen ounces of tincture of benzoin.
Pour in the oil very slowly, shaking
the bottle well. Keep in cool place.

BOXES ON RURAL ROUTES.

Washington.-In a decision rendered
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
DeGraw insists upon an adherence to
the regulations requiring that boxes on
rural routes should be erected by the
roadside so that carriers can easily get
access to them without deviating from
their routes or dismounting from their
vehicles. Failure to comply with the
regulations in this respect, the decis-
ion states is likely to result in the dis
continuance of the delivery of mail by
rural carriers.

WILL FINISH IN FIVE YEARS

Kansas City.-Representative Charles
F. Scott of lola, Kan, one of the party
of congressman recently returned from
trip to the Isthmus, said here:
"The people on the isthmus believe
that the Panama canal will be finished
in about five years. 1t is plausible.
don't say that the work will be done
within that length of time, but at the
rate the digging is being carried on now
it should be. 1t certainly viii not take
a much longer time than five years.

Wicker furniture which has been var

varnish has been washed off with boil

thoroughly with a piece of flannel
dipped in turpentine, and after this
has been aired for twenty-four hours
rub with sandpaper, after which the
wicker may be either painted or dyed
satisfactorily.

to him by the Illinois Manufacturers
Association to talk to that bod, il.

MORE DELEGATES.

President Roosevelt has concluded 20
increase the number of American dele
gates at the second Hague conference,
a proceeding which will not have any
effect, however, upon the disposition Of
the various projects that will be consid-
cred by that gathering, because each
nation represented is entitled to but ono
vote. Because of the complexity and
Importance of the program, it is felt
by the president that the <merican
delegation should be enlarged to permit
subdivision into committees, if need
be.
When the announcement was made,
last June, of the intention to hold a sec.
ond conference, it was stated that
America would be represented by Gen.
Horace Porter, formerly ambassador to
France; Joseph H. Choate, formerly am
bassador to England, and Judge J. M.
Rose, of Little Rock, Ark, formerly
president of the American Bar assoca-
ton. The president and Secretary Root
have also selected the additional dele
gates, but it is not deemed proper to
announce their names in advance of
formal notice that the second confer
ence actually is to be held.
Notwithstanding the fact that scarce
ly more than sixty days intervene Le-
tween this date and the date suggested
by the government of The Netherlands
as suitable for the beginning of the con-
ference at The Hague, the formal in
vitations to the nations to participate
have not been issued.

Contrary to expectations, the oyster
industry in Mississippi is holding up re-
markably well. 1t was feared that the
loss of SO much territory to Louisiana
would seriously affect the output for
this state, and that great falling off
in the business would result. However,
an intelligent handling of the business,
planting the beds as they are worked
over and properly caring for and pro-
tecting them, is proving that we can still
hold our important position in the oys-
ter producing world. While the terri
tory is necessarily prescribed, oysters
can be produced on the same plan as
intensive farming and the industry will
remain as one of our most important
industrial assets.

Mississippi is peculiarly well adapted
to the raising of hogs as has been 81
often repeated in these columns, but
the accumulation of actual experience
by those who are giving it trial, en-
phasizes the statement more and more.
There are men who insist that meat
can be produced here at cost of three
cents per pound, net, and should their
theory fall short one cent when put to
the test and the cost be four cents,
it is one of the best paying adjuncts to
any farm or household. Mr.. John Gewin
OF DeKalb; Kemper county, recently
killed hog that weighed 825 pounds
net at % months old and two others
that weighed 1921 pounds. While these
were rather old hogs and most ecofiomi=
cally raised, they show what can be
done when size is a consideration. In
addition to these he killed three shoats
ten months old that netted 825 pounds,
and which were no doubt the best hogs
he killed when the cost per pound Is
taken into consideration. These hogs
were given no especial attention and were
raised under rather unfavorable circum-
stances. Mr.. Gewin is not farmer but
has small lot in which he kept the
animals. Had he the plats of forage
crops for grazing and other necessaries
he would no doubt have made greater
record, although what he has done is
worthy of serious consideration. We
should by all means raise our meat ut
home and bid adieu of the smoke-houses
that are at present located in Kansas
City and Chicago.

Some time since notice was made IN
the public print that a merchant at
Ripley had shipped a car of corn TO
some point in the state further south,
the corn being bought from farmers ~
/ Tippah county who had surplus on
hand This little notice of a few lines
spoke Volumn for the good people of
Tippah county, who are not only raising
the corn necessary for consumption at
home, but have surplus for their less
fortunate neighbors. 1t is safe TO assert
that Tippah will buy but little meat for
this year, that more stock will be raised
than necessary to supply the home de-
mand and that the supply merchant will
do moderate business in the county.
1t might also be a safe bet that the de-
inquent tax list in that county makes
favorable showing with the one from
county that buys corn and that the
newspapers will get slight picking from
the publication of mortgage sales. 1t is
the indication OF a healthy condition
and is to be desired by every county in
the state.

Mr.. Creel, the Mexican ambassador,
confirmed the press dispatches that Sal
vador has expressed a desire for peace
in Central America and is anxious TO
have Mexico exert its good influence in
ending the war involving Salvador, Hon
duras and Nicarauga.
The desire of Salvador for peace is
regarded by diplomatists as an indica-
tion that the war is practically ended,
because Honduras is not strong enough
to continue it single handed. This action
of Salvador will doubtless prevent Guat-
emala or Costa Rica from taking any
part in the support of Honduras.

There should be a premium on good
roads cranks. Mississippi needs them
just little of the T5rst. They should
be sent to the legislature and made
members of the boards of supervisors
If there is one subject more important
than any other, it is the bettering Of
the condition of our public roads. 1t
would not be well for a county to
spend large sum of money trying tC
make all of the roads good at one time.
We do not know just what would be the
best method of road building, and :he
plan that would prove a success in one
county might be a failure in another.
So it would undoubtedly be the best to
build few miles of road this year, a
few next and so on until the whole
county was provided with passable high
ways. By this means the experience
gained this year would be made use of
in building next year and so on. In
terest in the subject is growing very
fast and it is safe to predict that the
next five years will see more roads built
than the past twenty-five.

"I absolutely indorse the President IS

the best friend they have and they

better stand with him. If they do not
accept his moderate measures they may
be confronted by man in the White

The failure of organizations among
farmers in the past should not in the
least discourage them now. These fail
ures are nothing more than great edu-
cational lessons that are to be taken
advantage of at the present time and
will enable them to steer clear of the
wreckers that line the path of all such
organizations. When the farmer is
properly educated his organization will
be as strong and effectual as that of
Messrs. Hartman, Hill, Morgan & Co.
Keep the good work going on and in
the meantime make the preparation that
is necessary to perpetuate the organi-
zation.

There is always reason for looking
upon the bright side of things. The
influence for good if nothing else. Mis-
sippians have a great deal to be thank
full for and they are reasonably thank
full too. There are some croakers and
grumblers, but what country is without
them? This is the best state in the
Union and we want it generally known,
more especially among our own people.
To be optimistic it is not at all neces-
sary to forget that eternal watchful-
ness is the price for our continued
prosperity. Being in a good humor does
not mean that designing persons or cor
porations can come in and get what
does not rightfully belong to them.
Show plainly that you are proud of our
great and prosperous state, but at the
same time keep an eye out for those
who would make it otherwise.

The people of Crytsal Springs are
very much awake to the interests of
the towil and surrounding country. 1t
is in the center of the largest truck
growing section of the state and fol
years the truck cars have been iced ut
other points, no factory being in opera
ton there to care for the business. A
company has been recently organized to
build d factory with sufficient capacity
to furnish Ice for the cars as well AS
other trade and will be in operation
within very short time. The Business
League is now actively engaged in the
work of promoting a new city hall for
the use of the municipal officers as well
as other commendable enterprises. A
wide-awake business organization can
be of great help to community and
it is passing strange that some of our
towns are still without them.
A corn and cotton club was organ
lied in Pike county a few days since
by Supt. Otkins of the public schools.
Organization was perfected along lines
similar to those of other clubs formed
in the state this year. Supt. Otkins en-
braces cotton as well as corn in the
crops to be raised, and the plan is not
bad one by any means. Cotton is our
greatest crop at present, and will re-
main so for many years to come, then
it should be given the place of promi
nence it deserves. The "show day"
for displaying the result and awarding
of prizes will be held at Magnolia in
the fall. 1t is expected that Pike VIII
show up well with the other counties
of the state that have undertaken this
commendable work and the gentleman
who is responsible for the movement is
deserving of much credit.
