to Concord. was commanded to main
tain absolute secrecy as to the trip
they were to make, and the best men m
the service of the road were assigned
to the duty.
Preceded by a pilot engine to clear
the way, the special train of three cars
left Concord at o'clock and proceeded
over three railroads by circuitous
route to the Chestnut Hill station on
the Boston and Albany road. In the
rear of the train, to guard against col
lisions, trailed a third engine. Arriv-
ing i'm Brooklyn at o clock, the party
was taken to the late A. A. Lawrence
estate, one of the most beautiful in all
Brookine, even before 100000 had
been spent in the last four months TO
remodel it, and here Mrs Eddy was
settled in her new home.
A most unusual scene attended the
arrival of the special train at Chest
nut Hill station. There were seven
closed carriages to meet the party and
The fifth carriage in the line, the
smallest of all and the least cOnspicu-
Gus, was occupied by Mrs. Eddy, Calvin
A. Frye, her secretary and another
man, apparently a groom. All were
warmly wrapped in fur and the women
all carried bouquets of beautiful flow
ers.
The Lawrence home was reached at
just 500 o'clock. One by one the men
and women of the party alighted, and,
gathering about the massive porch at
the front entrance, stood in line on
either side from the carriage steps TO
the house When the carriage of Ms.
Eddy drove up to the porch Calvin A.
Brye was the first to leave it and fol-
| lowing him came the other man. Lean
| ing back into the carriage the big
man, powerful of limb, gathered up the
! frail form of Mrs. Eddy. Wrapped in a
| long sealskin cape, with a black bon
net trimmed with violets on her head,
and with her hands protected by white
gloves, she was carried gently up the
steps in the big mans arms, through
the long line of people who murmured
softly as she passed. Then she was
taken up stairs in the house and placed
in what will be her own private room,
on the front or Commonwealth-ave
side
Immediately the whole great house
burst forth into light, and from every
window came the rays where before
the few lights had burned dimly.
Trunks and satches were passed IN,
and soon all but one of the party had
passed into the house. Calvin A. Frye
remained behind and was closely
pressed for information by newspaper
men and others. Absolutely refusing
to give any names of those in the party
or to make any statement he turned
to six tall, powerful men who stood
near him, and ordered that every per-
| ha at ha dc
Then he turned and entered the house,
| And his orders were obeyed without
delay.
At s o'clock the light in Mrs. Eddy's
room was eXtinguished A little later
the servants passed from the house to
their quarters, and the first night in
her new home had begun for Mrs.
Eddy. Six men remained on guard
through the night and tomorrow six
others will take their places for the
| day guard. Within a week permits
have been issued by the BroOkline po-
! lice force for the men to carry guns,
and it is believed that the watch of six
at night and six by day will be con-
tinued for some time.
The following statement was given
out tonight from the Office of Alfred
Farlow, head of the Christian Science
Publicity Bureau. 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 purpose is
to be more convenient to the mother
church of the denomination, nearer to
its headquarters. The whole affair in
Guiding the preparation of the house,
was in keeping with Mrs. Eddy's usual
way of doing things. She weighs mat
tiers deliberately and carefully, then
acts quickly.
