Sanity Of Christian Science
Founder Is On.

CONCORD, N. H.. August 14,--Mrs.
Mary Baker Glover Eddy, head of the
Christian Scientist Church, underwent
a mental examination late to-day by
the masters, who lad heen appointed
to determine her competency In bust
ness matters. The examination was
made at Mrs. l1tidys home, Pleasant
View, in this city, by Judge Aldrich,
DR.. Jelly, and Attorney Park, the
masters
MIR. Frank S. Streeter, Mrs. IIddy's
counsel in the case; William T.. Chand-
Ter, counsel for the next friends
and a court stenographer.
When the masters and counsel went
TO Pleasant View this afternoon none
of the newspaper reporters were al
lowed to enter Mrs. Eddy's home The
visit to Mrs. Eddy's home was pre-
ceded by hearing before the masters
on the request of the plaintiffs for
ruling as TO the examination.
Mrs. Eddy received her visitors In
her private sitting room, and by ar
rangenent with her counsel. she an,
swered a series of questions asked
her by the three masters. who took
turns IN examining her upon various
points
Judge Aldrich began the interview
by assuring Mrs. Eddy OF his inten-
tion to make the call4a agreeable as
possible to her

Mrs. Eddy thanked him, adding:

SICK AND Alone
IN STABLE LOFT
Theo. +. Stoncbraker, Former
Fredericksburg Merchant, Dis
covered by Little Boy.

In the dingy loft of stable to the
rear of No. 2o1 East Cary Street, where
he had been i'll for two weeks, Thco-
dore f. Stonebraker, formerly promi-
nent merchant of Fredericksburg, was
found by a little boy few days ago,
and his condition later became so criti-
cal that on Tuesday night he was re-
moved TO the Retreat for the Sick for
medical attention. Since that time Mr.,
Stonebraker has improved rapidly, and
his physician, DR.. John r. Wheat, now
thinks he will recover. 1T was at first
thought that he was suffering from
typhoid fever, but DR.. Wheat, since
making a more thorough examination,
Is of opinion that Ills trouble is not
OF so serious a nature, and that though
his patient is quite sick man, he will
more than likely pull through.
Pathetic Case.
The case is one of the most pathetic
that has ever come to light in Rich
mond. Mr.. Stonebrater is sixty years
OF age. Having spent much of his
early life on the Western plains, lie
became strong and robust. and UP to
a short time ago he weighed about
ZOO pounds. Tie - stlll a. aidTS6H man,
but the ravages of disease have robbed
him of considerable amount of his
flesh.
Mr. Stonebraker has been living In
the neighborhood of Second and Cary
Streets for some time but II is not
known how long he had been occupying
the, stable loft. Until few weeks
ago he owned a horse and an old
buggy, and the boys in tho neighbor-
hood often used his team. He was a
great favorite with the children, and
II was through one of his devoted little
friends, Wallace Moncure, Jr., that he
was found and that his life was prob
ably saved. Young Moncurc had missed
his old friend OF late. and q few days
ago lie went 10 the, stable. where he
had formerly kept his horse, looping tc
find him there He entered the loft
and WAS horrilled to discover the old
man in an almost dying condition oc-
cupyIng tho place as a bedroom, at
tended only by his faithful shepherd
dog. .,
The family OF tho boy knew Mr.
stonebralker Well, and took a deep In
terest In him. Young Moncure took
him Ills meals regularly for several

STANDARD STOCK
Oil, After Weeks Depreciation,
Reaches the Lowest Figure
in Years.

NEW YORK. August 14.-While
Standard OIL interests were rushing
to the support of the listed securities
or the New York Stock Exchange
yesterday, Standard Oil stock Itself
was being kicked down to the lowest
level 1t has reached in years. It
touched 42O in the early afternoon
trading, jumped TO 425. hung there with
no bids, and then went back to AL.
This was a depreciation in the mar
keI value Of the stock Of s79000,000 in
one week. In 1901 the stock was
quoted at sS42 a share. at which figure
sales actually were made. The divi-
dends made 1t an Investment which
paid as we'll as improved real estate.
The loss In market value between the
high record of 1901 and the low record
OF 1907 would be enough to provide for
the annual budget Of New York for
nearly four years-ss4eo00o 900 SIX
years ago, against $420,000.000 yester-
day. a difference of $422,0Q0,000.

LITTLE CHANGE
IN SITUATION
:, - 4 7-e =. 17-l--l If.77 71N l8l
Both Western Union and Postal
Companies Profess Satisfaction
With Progress.

i 3
NEW YORK, August 14.-There8
was little change in the Telegraph
strike situation to-day, as far as
concerns New York and other Eastern
cities.
Both Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies profess to be-
thoroughly satisfied With the progress
made toward normal conditions. On
the other hand, the leaders Of the
strikers declare their cause has been
strengthened by the responses to the
calls to go out in many of the cities
where strikes had not already been
inaugurated.
No trouble developed among the
telegraphers employed in the scores
of brokers' offices In the financial dis-
trict, where, according to the Tele-
graphers' Union. many big houses
granted the demands of their men as
regards wages and working hours.
The news service throughout the
East was practically ,,nimpaired ex-
cept In the cases Of two or three
smaller centres, and the news of the
world was moved to all points.
The hope of the strikers that the
Order of Railway Telegraphers would
make common cause with the COM
mercial telegraphers had not been real
and Postal people insisted that the
railroad teegraphers would stand BY
their contracts With the various rail-
road companies. who in turn would
fulfill their obligations with the tele-
graph companies. calling for the hand
ling of such commercial business as
might be turned over to them.
Statement From both Sides.
President and General Manager Nall
ly of the Postal, tonight summarized
the situation thus: THE strike is over.
so far as we are concerned.'
General Superintendent Brooks. Of
the Western Union, said: I'VE are. NOV
ing business rush and otherwise, TO
all parts Of the country with normal

Strike leaders declared tonight that
both companies were badly handi.
capped, and that desertions from the
service We're continuous throughout
the country.
Following meeting Of the local
union to-day II was announced by
Daniel r.. Russell that resolution
had been adopted appointing com.

eral Jackson aud demand that haspro.
ceed against the Western Union and

idle men was also discussed The
strikers admit that the financing OF
the strike is a serious consideration
and they talk of arranging public en-
stertainments TO raise money. Tic
strikers continue orderly, and In the
vicinity OF the telegraph offices there
is little to suggest that a strike y
