Duty of Harmon

"If he drew salary like that it was his business to make himself thoroughly acquainted with what the road under him was doing, and especially to see that 1t did nothing illegal, and that it paid it's just debts to- the state. Let him re- member his own words that guilt is per sonal ?
 Speaking of the public utilities bill, the colonel said
 Although it was by far the most im- portant bill of the session, Governor liar mon protested that he knew nothing about it and by his supine attitude and failure to take a stand he brought about it's defeat The author of the bill has publicly charged that it is not true that Governor Harmon was ignorant, because he went over the bill carefully with the governor, and to suit his views changed it in various particulars, always to make it less drastic. It is also alleged, as far as I have seen, without contradiction, that although Governor Harmon professes to be against petty graft, he has himself appointed to office and secured the em- ployment in office of various men who have been proved guilty of exactly the petty graft which he denounced in others

Leaves Fortune.
In 1875 Mary Baker Glover, a
teacher of healing by the mind
met with 10 or IL pupils at Lynn,
Mass. At that time Mary Glover
was poor. Her pupils paid her
SO a week, which she spent for
the rental of a hall and for her
own support. The same Mary
Glover, who later became Mrs
Eddy, leaves behind her an estate
valued at from $4,000 to $1,000
900.
The lower figure was Mrs. Ed
dy's statement to the tax authori-
ties. Her lawyers estimated her
wealth at 100000. The public
at large believed her fortune
reached 100000. All of this
fortune was accumulated after
she was so years old, and she will
stand as a unique figure among
successful women from a worldly
point of view.

Her teachings today have about
a million followers in the United
