N RS. STETSON TO STICK
Scientists Sag the "Carnal Mind" Is
after the Eddy Revenues.

According to Christian Scientists there is no dan
ger that Mrs. Augusta l.. Stetson Will leave tne
First Church of Christ, Scientist because of the or
der oustins her and other practitioners from their
Offices in the church building. They say, also that
there is as little danger that Mrs Stetson will try
to set up a church of her own in opposition TO Mrs
Eddy. The whole trouble. they say, is thGt the
upper circle Christian Science is surcharged with
the carnal mind, and there is a grand little fight
over who be the leader of the cult after Mrs
Eddy.
There Is also some controversy, looking into the
future concerning the lucky person who will make
the annual revision OF Science and Health and
collect the tax OF 81 a head the followers OF the
school, who are supposed to buy copy of the re-
ysed book every year. Then there is an annual
tax Of 81 a head on members of the mother church
in Boston and numerous Yearly assessments. all OF
which amount to q considerable sum
Mrs Stetson and Archibald Mcclellan, of Boston,
editor of The Christian Science Sentinel" and THE
Christian Science Journal" the two most pow
erfuI forces in the Church, Scientists say. MI
Mcclellan scored ten points by the order forctn;
Mrs Stetson TO move her office out of the First
Church. Mrs Stetson's enemies. who are keen on
the trail, took advantage of a composite letter
written her by her pupils TO procure the order.
Mr.. Mcclellan put the sting in the tail with the
following signed comment On the letter which AZ
peared in all Christian Science churches smultane-
ously with the order OF custer:
1t Is time for these students and their teacher
and other students and other teachers If there Dc
merism OF which they the victims. and. puGtng
have interviewed TO obscure their clear understand
ing Of the teachings of Christian Science. follow
the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world"
The opening paragraph in the letter was the one
that was found most Objectionable. 1t read:
Dear Teacher: Your teaching has revealed to
that to be true Christian Scientist is
purify my thought that l be subject 10
the Healing Body OF God, reflected by you.
Gratitude is expressed only become instan-
taneous in our response TO your mental touch
Mrs. D. NJ. Gilbert who made an abortive at
tempt to open a Christian Science church in the
Hotel Plaza in June, paid tribute Mrs Stetson's
touch yesterday.
Next TO Mrs Eddy's' she said, Mrs Stetson's
is the quickest, the most delicate and the most
productive touch in the Christian Science Church
The last time it exercised it produced 81 900 in
$40 gold pieces The money was to help build the
church Mrs. Stetson expected TO have in Riverside
Drive. and which she ordered from Boston to
drop"
Mrs. Gilbert said yesterday that Mrs. stetson
found that she had such marvellous powers OF heal
ing that she had put up her price for treatments
from 81 20 =, which shows it was remarked
that there is something in Christian Science. after

TAXI OWNERS TO FIGHT.
Sag They Cannot Operate Cabs at
LO7c Rate and May Stop Service.

Action is to be taken by the majority OF the own
ers Of taxicabs to fight me reduction of the rate
from 80 to 80 cents for the first half mile. In
creased cost Of rubber and gasoleue viii make IT
impossible they say operate taXcabs in this city
except loss after September at that rate. With
the crowds that expected TO be attracted to this
city by the Hudson-Fulton celebration. the taNcab
companies say that this city MAJ be left practically
without any other way OF transportation excepting
by street and subway and elevated cars. The auto
mobile taxicab has supplauted horse drawn cabs 10
such extent that If they are withdrawn from
service, the companies say may happen, the pub
lie will be without adequate means OF transporta-
ton.
The price OF rubber, which enters largely into the
cost OF equipment OF all wheeled vehicles. will be
advanced i per cent August -, and IS per cent
more September I, while Inc price OF GasOleIte
be IL cents instead of 20 cents, an advance of
10 per cent. The life Of a set Of tires on q taxcab
is about four months. the pavements Of the city
being particularly hard on them. The price to-day
a set OF tires is $3.50 after September they will
cost S19S.
In addition 10 the increased cost of tires and of
gaso!eue. there must be tax of So paid on each
automobile occupying a hackney coach stand and
the ordinance says further that the chauffeurs
shall not solicit take any passenger pas
sengerS on the streets bur shall cOnhne themselves
solely and for the Of guests of said hotel or
hotels or the occupants of said other buildings"
This provision the taxca0 owners say is unjust,
as If four passengers are carried from 42d
street 10 the Battery for 81 30 or g they must
come back empty, although the driver may be asked
by passengers TO take them uptown The new ordi-
nance also provides for tax OF so each cab
and SO more for each chauffeur.
The sworn statement Of the New York Transpor-
tation Company, presented 10 the Mayor when the
hearing on the ordinance being held, showed
thar the average run Of LAG machines owned BY this
company from January - May, inclusive, was
tbirty-seven miles. OF which twenty-five miles We're
Maid for and fifteen miles We're paid for. The
average income Of each Of these cabs At the present
rate so cents for the first half mile and 10 cents
for each subsequent quarter mile, was 34s cents a
mile: the average cost OF operating was % cents.
leaving a net income a cab a mile Of / cents
