XII v
In A Church Occurs In
Buffalo, N. Y.

Buffalo. N. Y, Jan. ia factionat
fight for supremacy lin the control OIL
the affairs of the Christian Science
church in this city, similar In all its
aspects to the recent revolt headed by
Augusta Stetson in New York city.
came to a head today in the annual
business meeting of the First Chris
tian Science church. The action tax
en- by the meeting in regard to
change in the bylaws foreshadows the
overthrow of Mrs. Annie Victoria
Cross Leavitt, who Tor twenty-one
years has been the leader of the Buf-
falo Christian Scientists, and who, 1t
is alleged has maintained her ascend
ancy by reserving to herself the ap-
pointments to the managing commit
tees, in the same manner that Mrs.
Stetson managed to control the church
in New York for so many years. The
defeat of Mrs. Leavitt, following the
similar fate meted out to Mrs. Stet'
son, means another victory for the
directors of the mother church In Bos-
ton in their campaign for supremacy
in the affairs of the cult
The causes of the dissensions in the
Buffalo church may be summarized
thus: The insurgents, so called. led
/ by Charles Holcomb, member OF an
old Buffalo family long prominent In
Christian Science, desired radical
change in the bylaws of the First
church. which should enable the con
gregatior to have the right of direct
nomination Of the governing body,
the right of appeal to the entire body
from the action of a committee, the
disciplinary function to be vested In
the congregation as whole, each In.
dividual to have voice in the man
agement of the church property, and
finally, arbitrary rotation in Office. -
The last clause hit directly at the
leadership of Mrs. Leavitt, who lost
no time in striking back at those who
opposed her rule. She promptly caus'
ed the expulsion of Mr.. Holcombe and
those who were most prominent among
his following. The opposition retail
lated by appealing to the courts for
aid. The result was that they obtain
ed an injunction forbidding Mrs. Leav-
lit from expelling any more members.
AS consequence, the opposition were
enabled to control the meeting called
TO act on the bylaws, which action
means the dethronement of Mrs. Leav-
lit and the defeat of her plans, as
alleged. to become one of the ControIl-
Ing powers of the cult.

The high water on Monday night
and Tuesday morning did consider
able damage to property between
Gambler and Millwood. The worst
damage was done to the Balcomb
bridge, which is just east of the
Dial bridge at Gambler. The south
abutment has for the past several
years been defective and the recent
high water undermined it to such
an extent that the bridge was allow
ed to drop into the water. This hap
pened about three thirty O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon. The rural mail
carrier, Mr.. Henwood, crossed the
bride and Mr.. George Jacobs, the
road supervisor was on 1t at the time
it started to go down. He had been
hanging warning lanters on the sides
but by quick presence of mind, he
was able to escape.
The Troutman bridge, a mile or so
east of Gambler on the Gambler
Howard road was swept away at an
early hour Wednesday morning. The
bridge was a two span structure and
was one of the longest in that Sec
tion of the country.
The water at the Dial mill came
within inches of being as nigh
as 1t was during the flood of 1898.
The mill was somewhat damaged
by the high water, but the damage
was all repaired Tuesday night and
the mill was in operation Wednesday
morning.

The County Fair - Exhibitors
and Officers.
Editor of The Age:-

Editor of The Age:-
In the last Issue of the Standard
find communication from Mr.. Ea-
ton, mostly in regard to the duties
of the exhibitors at our county fair
fully agree to all he says, but
there are two sides to every question.
Have not the officers of the fair,
more particularly the different sup
erintendents and the awarding COM
mittee, special duties they owe to
the exhibitor?
1t is not up to them to try and
make matters pleasant for the ex-
hibitor, to advise him and give him
the best chance to show what it is
possible to do, without detriment tn
others or showing any partiality?
Shonld they not take pains to in
form him when and where he must
show his stock, and why should
not the awarding committees get
together as early as possible. notify
the superintendents when they will
begin their duties, so that all may
know what to do?
And why not take special pains
to have the judging done as set forth
in the programs, so that parties in
terested can tell when they can see
this done? 1t seems to me if all will
try, these things can be done and the
program promptly carried out, and
it will be satisfaction to the super
intendents, to the exhibitor and to
the patrons of the fair. That there
is chance for improvement along
these lines cannot be disputed; this
is where more fault is found by the
people attending fair than in most
any other direction. and its a fault
found at nearly all fairs, and it's
fault that can be, and should be
rectifed. In my opinion there is
no one thing that would 80 well ad
vertise our fair as this. people would
advertise for us, go home and say,
Well, there is one fair where they
do as they advertise.
Also give man just what help
tickets he is entitled to. and no
more; do it willingly and pleasantly,
don't let him heat the fair and don't
beat him. Let rs try some of these
thi ugs on both sides and make the
fair of September 1914 10 the best
ever.
