THE STORY OF CARDIFF.
Astonishing Growth of the Welsh Goal
City,

The growth of Cardiff, the metropolis of
Wales, has been remarkable. Cardiff has
houses hanging on to the skirts of an
ancient castle into a city with the finest
municipal buildings in the kingdom and a
population of close on 200. 900. saws fbe Nau,
York Herald. In the rapidity of its growth
1t is more akin to the mushroom cities of
this country. A century ago there was not
a single dock at Cardiff, 1t was just a
sleepy little seaport, containing about 400
houses and a population of a little more
than 1000 persons. At that period a yes
sci used TO leave once a week with coal
for Bristol. and that coal was brought
down from the hills, a distance of nearly
twenty miles, on the backs of mules
A century ago the people of South Wales
never dreamed that beneath their green
hills lay wealth greater than the imaeina-
ton could conceive In the shape of tha
finest coal measures in the world, or thai
their small town would become the char
exporting port of the world.
For two or three centuries the peonle of
South Wales were content merely to pe&.
what coal they wanted for their own $50
by digging a hole in the ground onts;de
their back doors, or, IL there was no coal
quite so handy, going to the nearest hjl1-
side, burrowing a hole, and taking out ali
that tney wanted 1t never entered the
of that day that nearly 5O,0OO,O 900 tons Of
coal would ever be won from the bo1,aIs
of those hills In the course Of a single vear

The fire was started by boys, the
police said, who wanted to see a blaze.
According to the police information,
some youth dared a lad to fire the

boys tried to put out the flames, but
could not.
The Brooklyn fire department an
swered the first alarm and the firemen
went at the doors with their shoulders.
1t was like butting a mountain. The
mansion was built by a Dutch family
back in the days when houses were put
up to stay.
At length battering-rams were used,

SUIT AGAINST MRS. EDDY.
Her Attorney Declares that Charges
Made Are Entirely Unfounded.

Concord, N. H.-General Frank S.
Streeter, legal adviser of Mrs. Mary
Baker G.. Eddy has issued statement
replying to various allegations in the
bill of equity which has been brought
against trustees and directors of the
Christian Science church by relatives
of Mrs. Eddy with the view of obtain
ing an accounting of funds.
EARLY Saturday morning." he says,
'T sent to Mrs. Eddy copy Of the bill
served upon any of the defendants, as
far as am informed. have since had
conference with her. at which this
proceeding and matters connected
herewith were fully discussed.
in common with her many friends,
she believes that the initiative was not
taken by her son or other relatives, but
by others who in a markedly unusual
manner and by unique methods are
undertaking under the guise of court
proceedings to continue the persecu-
tion begun some time ago.
From my conferences with her at
the time and on other recent occasions
j am able to speak definitely and posi-
lively. Her clearness of mind and res
oluteness of purpose by her advanced
years. Her capacity to think clearly
and to deal accurately and justly with
important business affairs has never
more perfectly demonstrated than in
her conferences and acts the last two
weeks and in numerous business let
ters in her own handwriting which /
have received from her during that
time.
THE amount Of Mrs. Eddy's property
has been grossly multiplied by rumor
and unfounded reports. She is not pos
sessed of large wealth as the term is
used. Mrs. Eddy receives no income
from the church nor from the church
publication society. Her sole income
for MANY years has been from the copy
right on her own books, and the
amount from this source has been over
estimated.
Mrs. Eddy's business affairs have
been managed by herself, with the aid
OF Mr.Fryc and under the oversight
and personal audit of another gentle
man, whose name has not been men,
toned. but who stands for all that is
honorable and Of good repute in finan-
cial circles in Concord. Accurate ac-
counts OF all her property and invest
ments, as well as her annual income
and expenditures, have been carefully
kept and frequently audited. The last
audit was in October. 1906. None OF
the defendants named, except Mr.. Frye,
has any connection with the manage
ment of her property or investments,
or has any knowledge whatever in ref
erence thereto, nor have any of the
SAID defendants ever received any
property OF Mrs. Eddy which they hold
IN trust or otherwise. except in one in
stance for the benefit of ,elation.
