NEW YORK. Dec 24.-Mary Baker
g. Eddy. the founder of the Christian
Science church, has left as legacy to
the cult she created the gravest crisis
in its history.
She did this unknowiugly. Of course
when In her will she made the mother

queathed to it the bulk of her estate.
close to 100000.
No doubt remains that the heirs of
Mrs. Eddy, her son Glover and her
adopted son, DR.. f.. j. Foster Eddy.
have reached q final decision to fight
for possession of their fortune. 1t is
equally certain that former United
States Senator William +. Chandler
of Washington, d. c., and other dis
tinguished counsel representing the
heirs. have determined upon a line of
legal action which Will raise unique
issues aud arouse international interest.
Mr.. Chandler when seen today EN-
phatically declined TO make any state
meDt or either 10 admit or deny accu-
racy of the assertion as 20 his plan OF
campaign in behalf of the Eddy heirs.
But several other distinguished law
vers have been consulted IN the prep
nration of these plans, and the infor-
nation from absolutely authoritative
sources is that not only viii the will of
Mrs. Eddy be attacked as illegal under
the statutory laws of Massachusetts,
but there is every promise OF sep
arate proceeding which viii he directed
against Christian Science itself as a
movement against public policy.
Heirs Want the Money.
The lawyers for the Eddy heirs did
their proposed attack upon the Chris
tian Science leader s will. They found
improved laws of Massachusetts, sec
tiou Q. chapter 81. IL reads:
.EThe income OF the gifts, grants. be
quests and devises made TO or for the
use of any one church shall not exceed
two thousand dollars a year. exclusive
OF the income of any parsonage land
granted 70 or FOR the use Of the min
istry.'
That is all there is to it-a brief,
plain provision of the law-that had
been hidden away among the Massa-
chusetts statutes for more than half q
century. but which was re-enactcd eight
years ago.
Probably not a dozen persons resi-
dent IN the state of Massachusetts
knew Of its existence Obviously it
was unknown to Mrs. Eddy and the
advisers who aided in drawing her will.
The heirs see in this law legal bar
TO Inheritance by the Christian Sci
ence church of Mrs. Eddy's vast es
tate.
They will take the position that the
will is illegal and void; that in point
of fact Mrs. Eddy made no disposition
of her property. bat a condition IS ere

Honor In Wall street.

One would hardly consider the New York Stock Exchange exactly in the light of "a communion of saints.'' In- deed. to judge by much that appears in the daily papers and the muck raking magazines, this might be the last place to look for the very soul and spirit of integrity. But there it is .'in the midst of them" Between members of that marble mansion Of trade in securities on New York's famous Broad street no paper writing passes certifying to the binding obliga tion of a transaction. In the very flercest rush and maddest yor- tex of the wild corner a word, a nod, the merest sign, amply suffices. What ever it may lead to-irreparable loss, ruin. bankruptcy. no matter-the deal is closed. 1 am not protesting to be an apologist for whatever crimes may be committed in the name of honor. 1 simply record the fact, to be easily verified. that the dealings on that ex- change are Ion honor.

A Traoedx In Writinn.

Illegib1e hand writing, which has giv- en rise to so many comedies. led to a tragedy in the case of Bacher. musical enthusiast of the last century who devoted several years to the com position of history of Viennese mu- sic. His task finished. he submitted the manuscript to the Austrian i'm perial academy, which he had been led to believe would defray the cost of it's publication. After three months his manuscript was returned. Despite their best efforts the members had been unable to decipher it. Bacher then endeavored to have his work copied, but every professional copyfst who undertook the task had to confess himself baf1led. He thereupon at- tempted dictating the work, only to find that even he could not decipher it, and. beartbroken at the discovery that his years of toll had proved fruit less, he attempted suicide and finished his days in a iunatic asylum.

Show Windows In Austria.

The Austrian shopkeeper takes great pride in having his window dressed in an attractive manner and the glass perfectly clean at all times, no matter how small the shop or how small the city. Frequently the greater part of the stock of merchandise is displayed in the windows of the smaller shops. It is much less difficult to make at tractive displays than in American stores, as windows open outward on hinges. Even heavy plate glass win dows ten to fifteen feet square are so arranged and dressed from the street instead of from the inside, as in Amer ica. The large windows are usually arranged in the morning before many pedestrians are on the street. The wall space between shops is frequently rented by owners of adjoining stores and arranged to appear like windows, giving the appearance of being large shop. When one wishes to examine an article displayed in window the proprietor or clerk goes to the street with a key, unlocks the window and takes out the article, then locks his window again.

THOSE BEES
 SPOT LINEN
Commissioner Bogart Sug- gests Speetaeless for. In habitants of Collector Griffen s ApiarY.

Health Comxnissioner Frank Bogart, who has just concluded a course in scarlet fever is now. to take up bee study. Some of the people residing in I.inwood avenue complained that the bees owned by Deputy Customs Collector Stephen J. Griffen fly into their linen on the lines. leaving dark spots on the white pieces.
 E Commissioner Bogart movef at the meeting of the board that the com plaint be tabled until he should inves- tigate. This morning he said Grif- fen's bees are suffering from 8 dis ease of the eyes, and that their con- stant association with colored flowers makes it impossible for them to see the white garments. He thinks the neighbors should get the direction of the wind and hang the garments that have apertures so that the bees may fly through. If this cannot be done Griffen will have to put spectacles on his bees. In his research the com missioner discovered that one end of a bee is unhealthy, under certain condi- tfors, but not contagious.
