strike vote of $4,000 engineers on all
the western railroads, Warren G. Stone
grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo.
connective Engineers, has arrived in Chi
cago to present a final ultimatum to
the railroad magnates. The men are

MRS. EDDYss WILL,
Her Estate Officially Valued at a
Million and Half.

h1111Ou dIlu d HAL
Unless the will of the late Mrs
Mary Baker G. Eddy contains the
name of some one of her followers
whom she wishes to succeed her as
pastor emeritus, there will not be any
successor appointed, according to Chair
man Alfred Farlow of the Christian
Science publicity committee. Farlow
pointed out that the founder of the
sect that has had the most rapid growth
of any in church history shrewdly pro-
vided for the emergency which she
knew must arise. She did this by hav
ing incorporated in the constitutions of
the Science churches a law which bars
the directors from accepting appoint
ments to higher functions without the
consent of the pastor emeritus. In this
way, Farlow said, the hands of the di-
rectors were tied, and the only posi-
bility of a successor being appointed
remains in the will
So far, there has been no indication
when the testament will be filed for
probate. 1t is officially stated that the
estate of a million and half, with
the exception of small amount, was
bequeathed to the church by Mrs. Eddy.
The amount not bequeathed to the
church was given to members of her
household, it is said. Many believe
that the will contains the name OF
successor to Mrs. Eddy as head of the
church

WOULD TAKE STATES LAW
Forest Service Would Cut Of Their 25
Per Cent Of the Receipts.

A movement has been started by the
forest service virtually TO nullify the
law giving to western states 25 per
cent of the receipts from forest re-
serves within their borders for school
and road purposes.
The proposition was brought before
the agricultural committee to amend
this law so as to give the secretary of
agriculture the right to go into every
state and investigate how this money
is being expended by the state and to
shut off payments to states whenever
he is convinced the fund is not being
used for schools or roads.
Funds so taken from states are to
be given to the forest service.

In the name of these wronged

child who has done no wrong into
reformatory. TIL re should be a bet
ter place for him. There should be
a school where these boys could be
placed under Christian teaching and
trained for useful citizenship. Such a
school would not be reformatory,
but a formatory. Some one has said
that it is better to build hedge at the
top of a precipice than to build hos
pital at its base. So the best way to
reform bad boy is to keep him from
becoming bad.
A company of Christian men might
form corporationland combine business
and philanthropy in the purchase of
tract of land which, properly culti-
waited, would pay reasonable rate Of
interest on the investment and at the
same time provide self-sustaining
school. Here boys would be saved
| from becoming undesirable members
of society by being placed in a Chris
tian environment and taught the
dignity of work. After the manner of

be taught the duties and privileges of
citizenship. Only eternity would
reveal the far reaching results of
such an institution.

Christian ReneyOlence Is Il Eair.

ne was constantly sending boys to this

place else to send them. 1t is well
known fact that many boys are sent to
a reformatory simply because they are
not wanted in the home. Often on a

sent from home and must carry
through lie the stigma of having been
in a reformatory. There came under
my observation the case of a divorced
