SUIT WITHDRAWN

Concord, n. Il. Aug. ?2.-The
suit brought by "next friends of
the Christian Science priestess, Mrs.
Clarence Baker Glover Eddy, has
been withdrawn.
Counsel for the "next friends" an
nounced that the suit for an account
ing of the property of the Christian
Science leader, was withdrawn for
many reasons, principally on account
of the "unprofitableness of any i'm
mediate result in decision in our
favor upon the exact issue as now
framed, compared with the burdens
and disadvantage to the endured by
us both before and after such decis-
ion. "
Mr.. Streeter. defendants counsel,
Immediately moved that the masters
proceed with the hearing upon the
question of Mrs. Eddy's competency
to manage her affairs. He said
''If We are allowed to proceed we
will show how on February 81 Mrs.
Eddy began to arrange for the man
agement of her property for her life
and to provide for her kindred dur
ing that time. :
Mr.. StTeeter characterized the
suit as primarily an assault upon a
great religion by great newspapers.
Said he: Not word of testimony
was introduced to show that a dollar
Of her money was ever misappropriat-
ed. The charge Of her ineompetency
collapsed. 1t is now stated in the
press that this suit is abandoned for
the purpose of waiting defendants
death, then eontesting her will. Mrs.
Eddy has legal right to the finding
of her competency upon the case as
it now stands or upon further evil
dence she may introduce. "
Judge AIdrieh replied that the
masters would not be justified in
going on with an expert in hearing
unless so directed by the court.
The Christian Science publication
committee had had published the
statements of DR., Allen McLane
Hamilton of New York, alienist. who
recently examined Mrs. Eddy. Ham
ilton said 81 am firmly of the
opinion that she is competent to care
for herself and manage her affairs
and that she Is not coerced in any
way. 1t would sppear as IL she takes
the initiavie upon aoocasions. -

accounting of the financial affairs Of

Mrs. Eddy, and was several months
ago filed by Mrs. Eddy's son, George
W. Glover, Deadwood S. D.: his
daughter, Mary Baker Glover. and
George w. Baker Of Bangor, aaine,
nephew and next rfiend'' of Mrs.
Eddy.
The bill of equity was directed
against the trustees of the Christian
Science church in Boston, Calvin A.
Frye, Mrs. Eddy's secretary; Lewis
Z. Strang, her assistant secretary,
and Herman S. Herring, first reader
of the church in Concord.
Specifically the bill alleged:
First-That Mrs, Eddy is and for
long time has been incompetent to
do business or to understand trausao
tlons conducted in her name in con.
nection with her property.
Second-That the defendants have
possessed themselves Of her person
and property, and have carried on
her business.
Third-That, having done this,
knowing of her infirmity, they have
become trustees for her Of all prop.
erty which has come into her DOS
session, and are bound to give &C
count thereof and of all their trans
actionns in her pane.
Fourth-That there is reason 10
fear that the defendants wronpfully
converted some Of her property to
their own use.
The bill demanded an accounting
OF all transactions in connections
with Mrs. Eddy's affairs: the bill
asked for restitution IN case any
wrongdoing appears, for an injunc-
ton during litigation against inter.
Terence with her prope -ty and bust
ness, aud for a receiver.
Former United States Senator
William E. Chandler, counsel for
the plaintiff, explained that Mr..
Glover was aetuated by no spirit Of
disrespeet to his mother, but believes
that the proceeding was ia her real
interest. Mr. Chandler said the
action was not directed against the
religion Of the Christian Scientists.
and declared that Mr.. Glover had
long thought that his mother was
growing too feeble in body and mind
to attend to important business
matters, but that for a long time he
was unable to confirm this suspicion,
because those Immediately about her
seemed unwilling 10 allow even her
nearest relatives to have an interview
long enough to reveal her actual
condition

SUMNER NORMAL
SCHOOL CLOSES
Was a Successful and Satisfac-
tory Term

The last day Of the summer school
closed yesterday. The students have
nearly all separated for thei- homes.
President George II. Black has left
for Lewiston and O. her instructors
will leave as rapidly as they can get
away.
On the whole the summer school
has been great success, perhaps, ex.
ceeding the most sanguine expecta-
tions Of the lawmakers aud those in
terested in securing the $1,000 appro
priation from the state. There is
considerable satisfaction In the fact
that those In charge held down the
expense below the appropriation made.
II is certain that next year the sum
mer school will be again held here.
The average daily attendance has
been about 100 students which is full.
ly 80 per cent above the summer
school attendance at either Boise or
Pocatello, although both Of those
places have had schools for several
years, and represent larger territories.
The large attendance has been very
much due to the efforts OF the Com.
mereial club committee which
brought the cost OF living down to
the minimum.
The results Of the school have been
beneficial. The teachers Who availed
themselves Of its advantages will be
able to raise the grade Of their Ger.
tiBeates which will give them better
salaries and the people better schools.
Pupils of high schools have been per
mitted to take review work which al
lowed them to make up" past de-
ficiencies.
A general interest also was created
for more and better normal extension
work. 1t was very eredltable
school for Its first year. 1t might not
be amiss another year to select the
instructors from a wider range Of
schools which would result in
more comprehensive ideas and
methods. Another feature which
would be very beneficial to the school,
should be introduced another year.
All the business responsibility should
be removed from the shoulders Of
President Black. He had double
work to carry. The teachers we're Ger
tainly benefited.
Another year the cost will be re.
duced inasmuch as the Commercial
club committee has taken steps TO
rent the tents and furniture, turning
the proceeds into the cost of them.
This will reduce the rents TO a
minimum.
