He says the convicts were work ed by him only because tue free labor could not be secured at the time to work the land upon which he was paying taxes. The negro is now re- turning to the farm, says Mir.

MRS. BAKER IS

Founder of Christin Science Is Cele- brating Her Birthday, and Is the Recipient of COngartulatory Mes- sageS From All Over the World.

Boston, July 16.-AIrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, founder Of Christian Science, is today celebrating her S.th birthday Admirers and followers of the famous religious leader in all parts of the world sent telegraph and cable messages of cOngratulatlon. Mrs Eddy spent the day quietly In her handsome house in Chestnut Hill Re- cent rumors to the effect that she Is seriously ill are denied and her private secretary declares that she is won derfully ' gorous, mentally and phys1- cally, for one of her years.
 Mrs. Eddy's followers declare that
 their leader has been persistently misrepresented by prominent New York newspaper, especially as regards her physical and mental health. When this journal recently declared that she was i'll, because she had failed to make her customary drive, Mrs. Eddy issued the following caustic public state- ment: H0
 Since Mrs. Eddy is watched, as one watches a criminal or sick person. she begs to say, in her own behalf, that she is neither; therefore to be critl- cised or judged by either daily drive or dignifed stay at home. Is super 1uous. When accommodating work re- quires it, Or because of a preference to remain within doors she omits her drive, do not strain out gnats or swal- low camels over it, but try to be com- posed and resigned to the shocking fact that she is minding her own Dusi- ness and recommends this surprlsing privilege to all her dear friends ana enemies"
