MRS. EDDY MOVES TO BOSTON.
Founder Of Christian Science Will
Live on Beacon Street.

Boston.-The following statement
was given out Sunday night from the
Office OF Alfred Farlow, head OF the
Christian Science publicity bureau:
Rev. Mary Baker-Eddy, discoverer
and founder Of Christian Science, has
moved from Concord, N. H, to Brook
line, suburb of Boston. The Law
renee estate, which has been remod-
eled, has been quietly furnished for
Mrs. Eddy and her household, and she
occupied it about 4:45 this afternoon.
Only few OF Mrs Eddy's friends
knew of her contemplated move.
While there has been much specu-
lation about the Brookline house, no
one had guessed Alright concerning its
future occupant.
Mrs. Eddy and her household, in
Guiding Calvin A. Frye, her secretary,
with Archibald Mcclellan, as a guest,
constituted the party. They left Con-
cord at 2 p. m. on a special train, which
had been held in the yard at Concord
until a few minutes before the time
scheduled for leaving. 1t was then
run under the shed of the Boston side
of the depot and was quietly boarded
by the party, about ten or twelve in
number.
Ihe train was transferred to the
New York, New Haven C Hartford
railroad at Lowell, Mass, whence 1,
was run to South Farmingham where 1t
was transferred to the Boston & AL
bany road, and went to Chestnut Hill
station, where carriages awaited the
party and carried them to their new
home on Beacon and Hammond
streets. Here everything was found
In full equipment ald supper was
served at the usual hour. Except for
the three hours required to make the
trip, there was no break in the usual
routine Of the family.
This move was not prompted by
any sudden decision. 1t is known to
some of Mrs. Eddy's friends that she
has for some years been considering
the advisability of returning to this
city.
Her parpose is to be more conven-
lent to the mother church of the de-
nomination, nearer to its headquarters.
THE whole affair, including the
preparation of the house. was in keep
ing with Mrs. Eddy's usual way of do
ing things. She weighs matters de-
liberately and carefully, then acts
quickly"

No BOMBS FOR
KING ALFONSO

Barcelona, Mar. 1.-THE first day
of King Alfonso's visit to Barcelona
was unmarried by single regrettable
incident True to their. promise, the
republicans and separatists not only
refrained from any hostile manifesto
tions, but all classes among the peo-
pie apparently joined in acclaiming
the sovereign.
The kings day was one of remark
able activity. 1t concluded with his
attendance at a special and brilliant
performance at the opera, where he
received an ovation. The applause
that greeted his arrival lasting many
minutes.
There was an imposing display of
troops and police throughout the city
which, while testifying to the nervous
ness of the authorities, seemed 70 be
out of place amidst the numerous
friendly demonstrations of the multi
tude. The king was greatly pleased at
his enthusiastic reception, which he
believes will have a marked effect in
winning over the affections of the Cat
alonians.

ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT TO IN
TERNATIONAL CONGRESS
OF MOTHERS
PLACES NATIONS EVEN ABOVE
THE VETERANS OF THE
CIVIL WAR.
SCORNs AS A coWARDLY SOL
DER THE WOMAN WHO
SHIRKS DUTY.

Washing on, March 1.-THE white
house was the scene yesterday Of the
formal opening of the first intema-
tionaI congress on the welfare of the
child, which is being held under the
auspices of the international mothers
congress. The 200 delegates repre-
senting all states and territories and
d dozen or more Of the leading coun-
tries Of. the world, were received at
the white house, when President
Roosevelt delivered an address in
which he declared that he placed the
society ahead Of the civil war yeter-
ans, because he said, in the final
analysis it is the mother only who is
a better citizen than the soldier who
fights for his country.
In addition to this declaration the
president reiterated and emphasized
his wen known views on motherhood
and the rearing OF children and add
ed:
Inc MN IS poor creature VINO
does not realize the infinite difficulty
of the woman's task, who does not
realize what is done by her who
bears and rears children; she who
cannot even be sure until the chill
dren are well grown that any nigh
will come when she can have it en-
ttreIy to herself to sleep in. l alb
nor and condemn the man who fails
to recognize all his obligations to
the woman who does her duty. But
the woman who shirEs her duty as
wife and mother is just as heartily to
be condemned We despite her as
we despise and condemn the soldier
who finches in battle. A good wom-
an, who does her full duty, is sacred
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-03-12

in our eyes, exactly as the brave and
patriotic soldier is to be honored
above all other men. But the wom-
an who whether from cowardice,
from selfshness, from having a false
and vacuous ideal, shirks her duty
as a wife and mother, earns a right
to our contempt, just as does the man
who, from any motive, fears to do
his duty in battle when his country
calls him. Because we so admire
the good woman, the unselfsh wom-
an, the far-sighted woman, we have
scant patience with her unworthy
sister who fears to do her duty; ex-
actly as, for the very reason that we
respect the man who does his duty
honestly and fairly in politics, who
works hard at his business, who in
time of national need does his duty
as a soldier, we scorn his brother
who idles when he should work, who
is a bad husband, bad father, who
does his duty i'll in the family or to-
ward the state, who fears to do the
work of the soldier if the time comes
when the soldiers work is needed.
All honor to the man or woman who
does duty, who renders service, and
we can only honor him or her if the
weight Of our condemnation is felt
by those who finch from their duty"

Of INTEREST TO
STATE MILITIA
BILL MAKING VARIOUS CHANGES
FAVORABLY REPORTED TO
THE HOUSE.

The new STEVENSON military bill
which has been reported favorably
from the committee on militia to the
house of representatives carries vari-
Gus matters of interest to the national
guard, and, if passed, will cause sever
al changes. 1t should be remembered
that the organized or active militia
and the national guard are the same.
1t is the militia and not the organized
militia which consists of every able
bodied male citizen between IS and
As years of age. Some Of the changes
provided for in the bill are:
con and after January 81, 1910, the
organization, armament and discipline
Of the organized militia in the several
states and territories, and the Dis
trict of Columbia, shall be the same as
that which is now or may hereafter
be prescribed for the regular army of
the United States, subject in time of
peace to such general exceptions as
may be authorized by the secretary of
war; provided hat in peace and war
each organized division of militia may
have one inspector of small arms
practice with the rank Of lieutenant
colonel; each organized brigade of
militia one inspector of small arms
practice with the rank Of major; each
regiment o. infantry or cavalry of or
gained militia one inspector Of small
arms practice with the rank of cap
tain, and each separate or unassigned
battalion of infantry or engineers or
squadron Of cavalry of organized mi
Iitia one assistant inspector of small
arms practice with the rank Of first
lieutenant"
Previous to 1898 each Wisconsin
regiment had an inspector of small
arms practice with the. rank of cap
tain, but if the act passes it will cut
the rank Of Colonel Mccoy, the pres
ent inspector Of small arms practice
of the brigade to major.
