TERMS BRUCE CLAIM
A GIGANTIC FRAUD.
London Chronicle Prints What it Des-
cribes as Complete Exposure.

London, Feb. There seems to be
every probability that the next few
days Will see the final dissipation of the
bruce bubble, which was recently prick
ed BY the opening of the bruce grave.
Lord Howard De Walden win apply TO
the court on Feb. to dismiss, as vex-
atious and frivolous, G. H. Druce's civil
suit, claiming Lord De Walden's share Of
the estate Of the Duke Of Portland.
Meanwhile the Chronicle anticipated
Lord De Walden's action by printing
what it describes as a complete expos
IRE of the whole matter. 1t claims to
have information that neither G. II.
Druoe nor the company he formed Is
in a position to proceed with the suit
against Lord De Walden.
The Chronicle accuses c. III. Drucc Of
obtaining support BY concealing essential
facts. 1t says his claim was fictitious
from the outset; that he knew when ne
put forward his claim that Charles Ed
gar bruce, the descendant Of an elder
branch of the family, with prior claim
was actually living, and that he made a
compact with the latter to keep in the
background.
AT length, the Chronicle sets forth
the details Of the family history, decIar-
ing that not only gigantic fraud has
been attempted, but that it has besn
bolstered up by abuse of legal procedure

TIE growth Of mental healing and
the apotheosis Of Mrs. Eddy are the
subjects OF the February installment OF
the history Of the Christian Science
movement Miss Milmine says:
THE first FIVE years Of Mrs. Eddy s
life in Boston had been years Of almost
uninterrupted progress Her college had,
by 1887, grown TO be a source Of very
considerable income. Her classes now
numbered from thirty to fifty students
each, and class was instructed and
graduated within three weeks time The
course which was formerly the only one
taught at Mrs. Eddy's college was now
called the primary course and she add
ed what she termed a normal course
being a review Of the primary,
course in metaphysical obstetrics, and
course In Theology in all of which she
was the sole instructor, tuition fees
amounting to eight hundred dollars.
Since she first began to teach her
science the story OF her public life is
simply the story Of how she kept her
hold on it. The very way in which
she had come by her discovery made her
always afraid Of losing it, and she was
forever detecting some student in the act
Of making off with IT, Even in Lynn,
she slept. as ii were, with her hand on
the cradle.
Mrs. Eddy's controversy with Mr.
Dresser set her less infatuate students
to thinking. Many Of them decided to
investigate this Quimby claim, and
bought the works Of the Rev Warren
Il Evans, who had practiced in New
Hampshire and III Massachusetts,, and
who had published two books upon men

Science and Health appeared.
After reading Dr. Evans, a number
Of Mrs, Eddy's strongest stdents quietly

association forming the nucleus Of what
was later to become the New Thought
movement"
Mrs. Eddy, seeing the danger Of lib
eral investigation, quickly proceeded to
"sterilize the sources OF mental science
