Miss Marion K. Stephens Ends Life
With Gas After Struggle Between
Loyalty to "Healer" and Church.
Efforts to Conceal Case.

New York, April 2G.-After every eff
fort had been made to conceal the fact,
1t has been learned that Miss Marion
stephens, tortured by her struggles
with her sense of duty and her loyalty
to Mrs. Augusta Stetson, the excom-
municated leader of the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, and one of the most
successful "healers" of the church,
killed herself with gas last Saturday
night in the apartments of her sister.
Mrs. Weeks. at 526 West One Hundred
and Eleventh street. Her death was
reported to Coroner Feinberg, but so
far he has taken no action.
Three days ago" said an intimate
friend of Miss Stephens, Marion came
to me and said, L cannot stand this
awful pressure any longer. 1t follows
me day and night. love the church,
but something keeps holding me to
Mrs StetsOn. If | cannot break up
that influence one way or the other l
shall take gas ana kill myself"
Though the death of Miss Stephens
was reported as suicide and there
fore in ordinary course of events
coroner's permit would be needed be
fore her body could be removed, it was
said that her body had been removed
to her home. which was in Tonawanda
for burial. Coroner Feinberg's clerks
said that he had issued no permit.
Following the death of Harry p.

shocked the whole Christian Science
community Il year ago and was attrib-

called "maliciOus animal magnetism"
the suicide of Miss Stephens created a
tremendous sensation when it was
whispered about the church. The of
ficers of the church and the few re-
naming adherents of Mrs. Stetson whG
worship in the Central Park West
temple united in endeavoring to keep
the news from the papers.
Miss Stephens was one of the first
to rebel against Mrs Stetson, but later
| resumed her allegiance to the deposed
leader. She took no active part in the
battle in the church which resulted in
! the deposition of Mrs. Stetson by
Mother Mary Glover Baker Eddy. Miss

THE WIDOWS GIFT.

As an expression of her interest
in the States work for the tuber-
culous poor, Mrs. B. F. Jones, widow
70 the Pittsburg steel manufacture
er, has offered Health Commission
er Dixon her magnificent cottage
and grounds at CTesson. 1t lies
close by the tract of land given the
Commonwealth by Andrew Carnegie
for its Western Sanatorium for tub
erculosis.
The cottage which is said to have
originally cost about $4,000, is
large enough to accommodate at
least twenty tuberculosis patients
and no time will be lost in getting
il ready for such occupancy. As
the cottage is in good repair this
will not take long so that the bene-
fits of the high altitude and healthy
climate of Cresson will soon be en-
joyed by a number of poor suffer
ers. In the meantime the Sanitor-
ium buildings on the Carnegie
tract will be rapidly pushed for
ward.
The lot on which the 2 y story
Jones cottage stands is about 100
feet front and $50 feet deep. There
are in all thirteen bedrooms in the
building, most of them large and
comfortable, with big bay windows
into which the sun may pour itt
healing rays. Wide porches almost
surround the cottage. Here the
patients may sit in their rest chairs
enjoying the pure mountain air and
having a view of surrounding
country whose scenic beauty is un'
surpassed.
Mr.. Jones gift to the Common
wealth, like that of Mr.. Carnegie
is particularly gratifying in that Il
shows the complete confidence thai
exists in the States campaign
against tuberculosis.
