Charues Are Vicious Declares
Arthur Brisbane.
INTERVIEWS CHURCH HEAD.

Arthur Brisbane, the well known
Journalist, interviewed Mrs. Mary Ba-
ker e. Eddy. the aged leader of the
Christian Science church at the re-
quest OF the Cosmopolitan Magazine
and states that the founder of the
Christian Science faith is thoroughly
competent TO care for herself and her
business affairs Mr. Brisbane finds
that. for a woman of her age. eighty
six years. her mental vigor and clear
ness of thought are unusual.
She talked TO him clearly and logic
ally and all matters of the lawsuit
which has been brought to deprive her
of her property are clear in her mind
He finds that she.is living under ideal
conditions. and that it would be sheer
brutality of anyone 10 interfere With
her life as il is today. As one who
has no interest IN Christian Science
whatever he characterizes the effort
to deprive Mrs. Eddy of her freedom
of action in her old age as either stu
MD or vicious.

HENRY TIEMAN MAY
NOT SURVIVE HURTS
Man Assaulted by Henry Regg
Early This Week in Crit
icaI Condition.
REGG is STILL IN JAIL.
HE WILL BE HELD WITHOUT
BOND PENDING THE OUTCOME
OF THE INJURIES RECEIVED BY
HIS VICTIM.

Henry Tieman. who was assaulted
last Monday night in an alley near his
home on South Sixth street by Henry
Regg. his next door neighbor, still lies
in a critical condition at his home as
result of the terrible beating admins
tered to him by the infuriated Regg.
1t is not altogether certain that Tie
man will recover from his injuries.
Saturday he was reported to be quite
i'll and suffering much pain. Two of
his ribs. which were crushed in, are
said to be pressed against a lung. Tie
mans nose and cheek bone are frac
tured.
People living in that part of the city
where the assault took place are high
ly indignant toward Regg. They de-
nounce his assault as most cowardly
one. 1t is stated that after Regg had
jumped out of dark part of the alley
and knocked Tieman down with blow
of his fist. Regg then inflicted the Sc
rious injuries Tieman received by
brutally kicking him as he lay uncon-
scious from the blow of the fist.
Regg is still held at the city Jail
without bond. 1t is very probable
that if Tieman RECEIVERS, charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill
will be placed against Regg. In the
event Tieman should die Regg, will of
course, be charged with murder.
1t is stated that Regg of late has not
been disposed to work. He has lived
with his parents. Young Regg. it is
stated. charged Tieman with interfer-
ing in his family affairs. This led
to the assault.
Saturday 1t was reported to Officer
Yingling that Mrs. Regg, because her
son had been arrested, had left the
city and that at that time her where
abouts were unknown.
If Tieman RECEIVERS it is hardly prob
able that he will be able to appear
against Regg for several weeks and
the young man will be held at the
jail for his preliminary hear
ing His trial in the circuit court will
not be held until the October term.

1t Is the Third Annual Event of
The Kind Given by This
Organization.
SCENE OF GREAT BEAUTY.
A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WERE AT THE STARR PIANO
ROOMS SATURDAY EVENING
MUCH TO ADMIRE.

The third annual exhibition of the
Keramic League of Richmond opened
Saturday night at the Starr Piano
rooms in an auspicuous manner. A
exhibit, which is probably the most
complete and effective of the kind
ever held in this city. With the ex-
ception of the work done by Paul
Putzky, of Washington, d. c., some
indianapolis work and the loan ex-
hibit, all of which is improved, the ex-
hibit consists of work by local teach
ers and their pupils.
The competitive exhibit, made pos
sible by the generosity of Mrs. Foulke,
is attracting much interest from the
fact that the work entered is all the
production of twelve of the younger
members of the league. All of this
work is in the Japanese style.
There are also two pieces of Rook-
wood from Cincinnati people which
are attracting considerable attention.
The remainder of the exhibits in the
of loaned work is mainly
the property of local people. Two of
these articles are genuine Satsuma
vases brought from Japan several
years ago by Miss Sutton and are the
property of Mrs. Richard Sedgwick.
The remainder of the loaned work is
the property of Col. J. F. Miller.
One table of the exhibit is devoted
to the work of Mr. Paul Putzkv, of
Washington, ID. c., while on another
table Is to be found the work of In
artists, including Mes
DANES Hadley. Ornsdorff Wilcox,
and Carver. A number of
these pieces are for sale.
The figure exhibit, which is prob
ably the most interesting section of
the whole exhibit. is in charge of
Miss Whitridge. Probably the most
cleyeriy executed piece of work in
this exhibit, and perhaps in the entire
exhibit. is the miniature of the Rev
J. Z. Cathell, by Miss Whitridge.
The center of the room is devoted
to the work of local artists. although
a large number of pieces painted by
local people are scattered throughout
the entire exhibit Noticeable among
the products of the younger members
of the league is the work done by
Miss Mary Dickinson and Miss Cathe-
rine Rettig.
The promoters have every reason to
be proud of the collection they have
succeeded in assembling.
