BURIAL OF MRS. EDDY
NOT MARKED BY GRIEF.
Simplicity Marks Funeral of
Noted Woman.

Boston, December 9-The followers
of Mrs Mary Baker G. Eddy, the
founder of the Christian Science
church, parted with her visible form
at funeral that was marked with
simplicity and lack of ostensation that
>ialdec no expressions of sorrow, az
least not by her followers.
Clifford p. Smith, first reader of. the
Mother Church,, read the greater part
of SEe service, prepared by himself,
consisting of selections from the Bible,
co-relative passages from Mrs Eddy's
hook, Sciences and HEALTH" and a
prayer.
Tie was assisted by Mrs. Carol Hoyt
Powers. the second reader, who rem
dered Mrs. Eddy's poem, "a Mothers
Evening Prayer" with sweet and ten
der expression. The service lasted
only eighteen minutes.
There was no eulogy, no soblNng ex-
cept by the young granddaughter, Mary
Baker Glover.
Those wLO wished to look for the
last time ON the face of the leader
saw the small, delicate face of "a wo-
man who looked sixty, instead Of
ninety, and Whose expression was sin
gularly peaceful and showed no sign
of suffering.
Eighteen carriages followed the
hearse to Mount Auburn cemetery in
Watertown.

HOTEL HAS
A NARROW
ESCAPE.
Bad Blaze in SCFeVen House
at Savannah.
Fire Started at $3.50 O'clock YeSier-
day Morning But Was Finally Sub.
dued Without Loss Of Life and
Small Damage to Hotel.

Savannah, Ga, December 9.-Flre
that started in the basement of The
Sclcyen House was discovered ut
$50 O'Clock this morning and before
the arrival of the fire department IN
response to an alarm from box 81
smoke was issuing in great volumes
from the hotel.
ut appeared as if the hotel was in
danger of being destroyed by fire and
two patrolmen with TIE assistance of
bell boys aroused the sleeping guests.
Some of them had ALREADY been walk
ened by the smoke.
In their might clothes both men and
women made their way to the hotel
office, or to TIE parlor floor.
The patrolmen were blinded by
smoke in their efforts to wake the
guests of th ehouse, and the conse-
quences would probably have been Sc
rious had not the firemen conquered
the flames as quickly as they did.
Not only did Chief Ballqntyne and
his men answer the alalm promptly
but they got to the fire in hurry and
soon hod it subdued The firemen were
all but suffocated with smoke, BAT
they fought their way to the blaze it
self and conquered it.
But for the efficient work of the fire
men there might have been loss Of
life. AS it was the guests of the no
tel escaped with a fright and a few
chdlls as a result of their exposure.

The Fight Against TubereuIosis.

Interest In the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed.
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established. and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso
Citations for the prevention Of tubercu
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious 12 months, and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January l, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 1894 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations. 3SG hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
