pointed to conserve Mrs. Eddy's per
sonal estate at the time relatives
brought suit for an accounting.
Adam H. Dickey had for three years
been Mrs. Eddy's private secretary
and was recently made a director of
the church by her order. He. too, is
native of Canada, but has spent the
greater part of his life in Kansas City
with his brother. Walter S. Dickey
chairman of the Missouri Republican
state committee. He has been a Chris
tan Scientist and qualified teacher and
practitioner for a dozen years He
was first reader of the Kansas City
church when he attracted Mrs. Eddy's
attention and was made her secretary.
Calvin A. Frye came into prominence
as coachman to Mrs Eddy, being in
addition sort of bodyguard. He first
met her some thirty years ago while
he was machinist at Lawrence. Mass.
He Immediately entered her service
and continued with her to the end. Al
though not one of the directors, Frye
has always been recognized as one of
the church leaders by reason of the de
pendence apparently placed in him by
Mrs. Eddy.

that situation such as had arisen be-
tween the two houses must not occur
again and that the enormous dis
crepancy between the Unionists and
Liberals in the house of lords made
futile any legislation the Liberal gov
eminent might pass in the commons.
The death Of King Edward and the
veto conference, which was one of the
first acts of King George to propose,
postponed the crisis, but the failure of
the conference to reach an agreement
made the recent dissolution of parlia-
ment inevitable
In the end the house of lords may be
constituted somewhat along the line of
the United States senate in many re-
spects. The peers have expressed
themselves as willing to yield their
hereditary privileges and acquiesce in

eral election was made necessary by
the refusal of the house of lords to ap-
prove the Liberal budget, another is
now on, with the lords as one of the
principal issues. Furthermore, it is
the general impression that the pres
ent election will not suffice and that
another will be necessary after the
coronation of King George next sum-
mer-this because the Liberals are ex-
pected to remain in power, though
with diminished coalition majority.
Though primarily the future status
of the lords is the principal issue, two
others have been thrust into the arena
and buffeted and extolled until their

MRS. EDDYs SUCCESSORS.

Men High In Christian Science coun-
ellis Briefly Told OF.
Since the death of Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy much interest has been mani
tested in the board of directors of the
Christian Science church and those
who were closest to the founder of the
religion now estimated to embrace
100000 persons.
One of the foremost of these is Ar
chibald Mcclellan. chairman of the d.
rectors and editor of the Christian Sci
ence periodicals issued in Boston. He
is a native of Moncton, N. B., and is
flfty-three years of age. He grew up
in the United States and was in
commercial work and the law prior to
joining Mrs. Eddy's following in 1895.
He was one of the three trustees ap-

ed at the time Now the shoe is on
the other foot, and the cry of the Eng
lish Unionists is that, backed by Amer
lean dollars, the Irish Nationalist
members of parliament are throttling
the Liberal ministry and hence the
United Kingdoms. To this charge the
Liberals, notably David Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer, retort
that there are American dollars on
both sides, citing the number of Brit
ish noblemen who married United
States heiresses. AS the chancellor ex-
pressed it, MANY a noble house totter-
ing to its fall has had its walls but
tressed by a pile of American dollars

At no place in the State has the rep

with a more cordial reception than in
Gainesville. There he found a COM
munity Of Jews thoroughly Jewish
in thought and action eXemplyfying
the highest type of Jew and to single
out any one among them especially
for those virtues would be a gross IL
justice to the rest.
In the beautiful temple here it was
his pleasure to witness an impressive
service conducted by Rabbi Fox Of
L ort Worth who delivered a masterful
and instructive sermon to the numer-
Gus attendants among which was to be
observed much charming femininity
and the choir of we'll trained voices
of young ladies added greatly to the
impressiveness of the service.
Rabbi Fox is bringing a great sacri-
flee in holding semi-monthly services
here and conducting a confirmation
class which, when it is considered
that his time is pretty we'll occupied
with his arduous duties to his own
congregation in Fort Worth.
We are promised regular correspon-
dence hereafter on congregational,

tie town and will be pleased to give
these matters publicity.
