BIG LEGAL BATTLE BEGUN.
Contest Over Estate of Mrs. Eddy Is
in Court.

Concord, N. H., May 24.-Following
several skirmishes, the first legal bat
tie fought about the person of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, leader of the
Christian Science denomination, in
connection with the suit in equity
seeking an accounting of her property,
was opened in the Merrimack county
superior court here Thursday. The orr
ginal suit, brought by Mrs. Eddys son,
George w. Glover, of Lead, S. D., his
daughter, Mary Baker Glover, and
George w. Baker, of Bangor, Me-, a
nephew of Mrs. Eddy, was brought in
the name of the Christian Science
leader by her three relatives, acting
as next friends" and was directed
against Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's
secretary, and several other leaders of
the Christian Science church, asking
for an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's prop
erty, which the next friends alleged
was being misapplied by the defend
ants
Judge Chamberlain announced at
the outset of the hearing that the pro-
ceedings should be confined strictly to
the question of the Intervention of the
trustees as plaintiffs. He said that he
would not consider Mrs. Eddy's COM
potency at this time.

MRS. NJ KINLEY dies
At HOME IN Canton
WIDOW OF PRESIDENT PASSES
PEACEFULLY FROM SLEEP
TO DEATH.
End Comes Without Struggle or Pain
Body Will Be Placed in Vault
Until Completion of National Maui
soIeum on Monument Hill.

Canton, o., May 27.-Mrs. Mckinley
died at 1:05 p. m. Sunday. There was
no struggle-no pain. Mrs. Mckinley
never knew of the efforts made for
days to prolong her life, nor of the
solicitous hope against hope of her
sister and other relatives and friends
for her recovery
At the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ C. Barber,
Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day,
Justice and Mrs. William r. Day, Drs.
Portman and Rixey and the nurses.
The funeral arrangements so far as
made are that DR.. Buxton will have
charge of the services, which are to be
simple. They will be held at the Nc
Kinley home at two o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. 1t was announced that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Loeb will arrive in Canton Wednesday
morning to attend the funeral serv-
ices. Vice President Fairbanks, who
had often been house guest of the
McKinleys, is expected to reach here
in time to attend the funeral service.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in West Lawn GEM

etery which holds the remains of her
husband, until the completion of the
national mausoleum on Monument
hill, when both caskets will be trans
ferred to receptacles in that tomb.
Mrs. McKinley's life of almost 60
years had been made familiar to the
nation by the fact that more than half
of it was period of invalidism.
Through all this, however, she showed
a firm and unwavering belief in the
career of her husband and by her
cheering words, in spite of personal
Affections, encouraged him when there
was darkness at hand.
She believed that his star of destiny
would never set until he had become
president of this land, and for more
than a quarter of century cherished
that belief until her hopes were
realized.
After President McKinley's death,
she expressed a desire to join him and
prayed day by day that she might
die. Later, however, she frequently
told friends she desired to live until
the completion of the Mckinley
mausoleum, which is the gift of the
nation, and which is to be dedicated
on Monument hill September 80 next.

Antiquities have to give way to the
neecs of the present. The Egyptian
couLcil of ministers has approved the
plan for raising the Assuan dam
across the Nile, change that will in
crease by two and a half times the
amount of water that can be stored in
the irrigation reservoir. The raising
of the dam will result in the submerg-
ing of the Island of Philae and the
flooding of the ruins of the temples.
The island itself is a small granite
rock about thousand feet long and
500 feet wide. 1t was the scene OF
the worship of the goddess Isis. Many
pilgrims from various parts of the an.
cient world visited the shrine when
the religion of Isis was most widely
spread. The worshipers of other gods
built temples near that of Isis, so that
there appeared on the small island a
splendid collection of examples of the
best architecture of the various Pc
RODS in which they were erected.
The enlarged dam will make possible
an annual increase of the cotton crop
of Egypt amounting to between $1S,.
O00,oCO and 100000 900 in value.

Will Look Into Attack on Japs

San Francisco, May 27.-Acting up
on instructions received from Wash
ington, United States District Attor
ney Robert T. Devlin will make a
thorough investigation into the attack
upon a Japanese restaurant on Folsom
street in this city about two weeks
ago. The accident was regarded SC
insignificant that it attracted no at
tention or comment, and the fact that
this alleged trivial affair has been
made the subject of representation by
the Japanese government caused much
surprise here
