American Campaign Methods.

London, Marcn 2.--Today's election
OF members of the London county coun'
Gil closes q campaign which has been
fought out on issues hitherto almost ex
clusively American property. To great
extent American campaign methods have
prevailed.
For the 6rst time in English history
an election is being conducted on the
Crust issues. The extension Of NUM-
cipsl ownership of public utilities is the
contention. During the past term with
the progressivea In control the street car
service and Thames steamers have been
put under municipal control. Now the
progressives wish to extend this system
OF operation TO other utilities.
MOderates Of all degrees have united
against them on the issue, and the
campaign has been the most bitter fought
in years.
Cartoons Of the American order, show
ing the "trusts" as fat, overfed, indiVi.
duals have been the dominating feature
of the campaign.

Trouble Among Christian Scientists.
Concord, n. H., March g. A bomb
exploded in the psrlers of the home of
Mary Baker G.. Eddy, founder and head
of the Christian Science cult, would not
have created more of G Juror than the
fling Of the suit late yesterday evening
in the Superior Court here to compel
an accounting of the affairs OF Mrs Ed
dy, the plaintiffs in the action being
George W. Glover, the son and only
child OF Mrp. Eddy, his daughter, Mary
Baker Glover, and George w. Baker, a
nephew Of Mrs. Eddy. What apparent
" added most of the CONSERVATION Of
Mrs. Eddy's cabinet is the fact that the
aged woman herself is made the plain
tiff in the suit, which is brought by the
Others as her "next friends" Every
sclion of the plaintiff shows that it is
their purpose 20 steer clear of an attack
on Mrs Eddy or Christian Science. On
the contrary the head of the cult is
placed on a high plane, and the entire
course Of events is so shaped as to make
i clear that the attack which promises
to develop into one of the most sensa-
tional pieces of litigstions in the history
of the country, is aimed not at Mra.
Eddy, bat at the men surrounding her,
who have, according to the allegations Of
the plaintiffs, taken advantage Of her
extreme age aud inGrmities, to secure
control OF the vast wealth she is known
to possess.
The storm which broke over Pleasant
View yesterday is directly trsceable to
the expose of a few months back,
when it was practically proven that a
substitute dressed and made up to rep
resent Mrs. Eddy was driven for daily
carrisge rides through the streets of Con
cord with view of concesling from the
public the real decline in which the head
of the cult has sunken. A feature re-
vealed today and which promises to have
an important bearing when the case
comes to a hearing revolves about sixty
old letters written by Mrs. Eddy to her
son several years ago. 1t is sad these
letters will prove her love for her son,
aud her intention to make him the
beneficiary under her will, intentions
which we're later, according to his be-
lief, overruled by the men who seem
to sway Mrs. Eddy.

the bill long enough to prevent a vote
upon it.
The conlc,ees Of senate and House
