To Fight Mrs. Eddy's Donation.

misunderstanding the power OF
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the
Christian Science church, to make dis
position OF SO large a part of her for
fortune, formal notices have been
served upon Trustees Mcclellan. Fer
maid and Baker, having in charge Mrs.
EIdy's estate, ordering them not to
make the sl.000,O00 appropriation to
found charitable institution recently
announced, or any other appropria-
ton from Mrs. Eddy's estate pending
the outcome of litigation.
According 10 former United States
Senator William Il. Chandler, this &C
ton is to DE followed by new law
suit involving the Christian Science
head and her trustees, brought by the
next friends" Mrs Eddy's son,
George w. Glover, his daughter, Mary
Baller-Glover, and Mrs. Eddy's adopted
son, DR.. Ebenezer ]. Foster, Of Water
bury, Vermont.
The contention Of Mr.. Chandler is
that the proposed appropriation OF
81 100000 is in direct violation Of Mrs.
Eddy's deed Of trust of March 6. 1907,
by which she turned over all her prop
erty to the three trustees for life. re-
serving onIy the right to use the in
come and certain realty, and which
act marked the partial termination of
litigation against her and the trustees
by the next friends" a few months
since.
The new action, 1t is declared, will
be entirely Independent of another
suit now pending against F. S.
Streeter, Mrs. Eddy's attorney in Con-
cord, demanding information concern
ing the deed of trust for S125,000 set
aside by Mrs. Eddy for the benefit of
her son, George w. Glover. and his
daughter.

Anti-Suicide Bureaus.

London.-Twelve months ago Gen
eral Booth. of the Salvation Army,
started antisuicide bureaus in various
cities of the world. and he now has is
sued review of the years work.
Altogether 1,125 men and ninety wo-
men sought the assistance of the Lon
don bureau to save them from self-de-
struction, while at least an equal num-
Der applied at the bureaus in other
cities 1t appears from the review that
the seekers for help belonged mainly
to the middle classes. More than half
of them ;ttributing the desire to end
their lives to financial embarrassment
or hopeless poverty.
From the small number of woman
applicants General Booth deduces that
they are better able to bear up under
sorrows and trials than men. He thinks
it safe to say that seventy five per cent
of the applicants have been diverted
from contemplated suicide and helped
to surmount their difficulties.
Clergymen, naval and military Of
ifers. doctors newspaper men and
bakers were among those saved from
committing suicideAGeneral Booth con-
siders that the results more than just
flied the institution of the bureaus,
which henceforth will have perma-
nent place In the operations of the Sal
walton Army.

Would Educate Negroes.

Lexington, Ky-The most important
action of the Southern Educational AS.
ISOLATION, which closed its eighteenth
annual session here Saturday, came
at the last moment before adjourn
ment, when the committee on resolu-
tons presents the following strong
resolutions on negro education. which
were adopted unanimously:
I'VE endorse the accepted policy OF
the states # the South in providing
facilities Tor The youth of the negro
race, believing that whatever the ult1
mate solution of this grievous prob
lem may be, education must be an i'm
portant factor in that solution. We be-
lieve that the education of the negro
in the elementary branches OF educa-
ton should be made thorough and
should include specific instruction IN
hygiene and home sanitation for the
better protection OF both races. we
believe that in the secondary educa-
ton of negro youth emphasis should
be placed upon agriculture and the
Industrial occupations, including nurse
training, domestic science and home
economics. We beiieve frat for prac-
teal economical and physiological rea-
sons negro teachers should be pro-
vided for negro SCHOOLS. We recon-
mend that in urban and rural negro
schools there should be closer and
more thorough supervision, not only
by city and county superintendent,
but also by directors of music, draw
ing. manual training and other special
topics. On account of economic and
phy Biological difference in the two
races we believe that there should be
difference in courses of study and
methods of teaching, and that there
should be such an adjustment of school
curricula as shall meet the. evident
needs of negro youth. We insist upon
such an equitable distribution of the
school funds that all the youth of the
negro race shall have at least an OPP
portunity to receive elementary edu-
cation provided by the state and in
the administration of state laws and
In the execution or this educational
policy we urge patience, tolerance and
Justice"

Washington.-The production of
gold in the United States fell Off So
753,401 in 1907, as against 1906,

Alfalfa Leads in Value.

Alfalfa holds first position In the
matter of acreage and perhaps of value
of all Colorado's agricultural products
Last year approximately 100000 acres
yielded their wealth of the succulent
grass, and an average OF three and one
half tons has been the yield over the
state for the three cuttings of the sea
son. In many places both on the West
ern Slope in the orchards, and on the
lands above ditch on the Eastern
Slope the yield has been as high as
from five to six tons to the acre.
With 1.750,000 tons of alfalfa pro-
duced last year, and a quotation of IS
to 50 on the Denver market December
10th, the value of the crop is reached
by taking ST. a conservative estimate
of the farmers price during the year.
This is s12,25O,OOO.
Second to alfalfa is Colorado's ma
tive hay, which is acknowledged the
best of the lighter grasses for nutri-
ton and satisfaction to stock Most
of the native hay of the state last
wear was raised on the dry lands. or
The lands above the ditch in the noun
tain parks and valleys. There were
100000 acres sown to native hay and
an average yield of one ton to the acre
realized. Computing at S12 per ton,
December 10th quotations being S14 to
SIS. the value OF the crop is $4,000, 900.

state wide evangelistic campaign that
is to be pushed simultaneously in ev-
cry county of the Sunflower State
next year. Hundreds of ministers
from various denominations, together
with numerous well-known evangelists

Large Honey Production.

For 1907 the yield was fifty-flve cars
of comb honey. which at an average
valuation of $4,000 per car makes
total Of $4,000. The amount of comb
honey received in the markets through
the Colorado Beekeepers' Association.
having its headquarters in Denver, was
1,65O.000 pounds. To this quantity is
added pi oportion of extracted honey.
valued at $4,000 and 5000 pounds OF
beeswax, valued at $4,000. making
grand total value of s194,0O0 for the
years production of honey in the
state. not including the product of in
dividual beekeepers for home consuplHn
ton. To this, $4,000 increased valN
of bees is to be added. making the
years total 100000.

Immense Field Pea Crop.

The value of the field pea as
stock fattener and builder of the fin
est kind of animal tissue for meat is
of comparatively recent discovery, but
as soon as it was learned with GER
tainty the growth of the crop received
an immense impetus. In 1907 no less
than $4,000 acres were sown to field
peas in Colorado, 125,000 acres of this
being in the San Luis valley and the
remainder of the acreage scattered
over the state. About thirty-five bush
els was the average yield per acre.
making 5,250,OO0 bushels the states
crop.
Practically all of this crop is fed
to the stock in the fields where grown
and no quoted value per bushel is OBJ
tainable. Estimate is made of this
however, by experts who figure stand
ing crops at SIS per acre, making ST.
100000.
Upon this crop alone is based the
nope of many stockmen of the state
that Colorado will in the near future
be center of the hog and sheep fat
tening industry.

1t was not because her husband
wanted soup three times day that
the woman applied for divorce. That
was the least of her troubles. Cater

easy as anything in married life. The
woman who is skillful mixer can
keep the pot on all the time and when
she sees her husband coming block
away she can light fire and greet
him with warm plate Of soup. A
progressive woman might even have a

plate 80 there would be no irritating
delays. No. furnishing soup was the

of the world, and many of those Of
fiction, have dined at the Star and

its patrons. Louis Philippe lived there
for six months after his flight from
