Chandler's Time Comes To-day.
The main thread Of Gen. Sreeter's
argument was that the deed Of trust is
valid, and that by its terms the trustees
are empowered to prosecute all persons
against whom evidence of Vrongdoing in
connection with the management of anv
part Of Mrs Eddys affairs could be
shown. and that by reason of this power
given the trustees. and of the further
fact that Mrs. Eddy was not a party to
the present suit. the persons bringing the
same should be dropped and the trustees
be made to appear as plaintiffs in their
stead.

day made illusions which would indicate

screen. because the designs are pasted
lightly between the covers and when the
light shines through the screen, there is a
beautiful shadow effect. One neat design
