 Taken.
 Concord, N. H., August 15.-Judge Aldrich has made the following ruling in the Eddy case:
 ''we are all of the opinion that the evidence tending to show that Mrs. Eddy is in delusionary mental condi- tion in respect to forces operating upon her relatives and next friends and through them upon her business, is of a character to show mental im- pairment and to influence her in her business affairs, Is admissible. This is limited to alleged delusions which reasonably connect themselves with respect to the management of prop erty affairs. The majority of the board think that these alleged de- lusions relating to conditions of men tai prejudice going back to 1890 is not remote"
 To this ruling both sides excepted. The hearing was adjourned to Friday.

West Point, June S.-Warnings that
his friendship for General Leonard

in the United States army have been
received repeatedly by Lieutenant
Colonel Charles G.. Ayrcs, according to
a statement which he made public to-
day. In defending his Wife, Mrs. Eliza

ficers of the military academy and sup
porting her suit to Q 500, 900 in
damages from those officers, Lieuten-
ant Colonel AYres said that ne had
been tried on many charges ana that
he has been told many times that part
Of the luminosity toward him has been
caused by the friendship for General
Woo. That officer himself, Licuten-
ant Colonel Ayres says, has for Years
warned him frequently to be careful.
The Lieutenant Colonel said that he
regarded General Wood as one Of the
ablest men in the ountr Ayres was
one of the officers in General Woods

The controversy at West Point first
