MRS. EDDY TO RISE
Startling Declaration Made by

SAYS MRS. EDDY NOT DEAD
Ex-Communicated Leader of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Says the
Millennium Will Also Begin With
Resurrection of Mother Eddy.

Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, the ex-
communicated leader of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in New
York, says that the hour has come
when she must stand before the whole
world of Christian Science and pro-
claim her belief in the imminent res
direction in the semblance of human
form of Mary Baker G. Eddy, the dis
coverer of Christian Science, who, as
the world believes, died at her home
in Newton, Mass, on December 3.
Mrs Eddy is not dead,' said Mrs.
Stetson. CAS- Jesus Christ revealed
himself on the third day after his cru
cifxion and later was seen of a COM
/ any of 500, so Mrs. Eddy will be
raised from the tomb and will mani
fest herself to all the world in proof
of her teachings that there is no
death. With this demonstration of
herself in a form that will be visible
TO all the world the end of the gospel
age will be signalized
with Mrs. Eddy will come Christ,
the Truth, and the Millennium, seen
by John on Patmos, will be with us.
Then will all of faith find that there
is no death, and those who see and
believe will never die"

instead of Accepting 100000 Uncle
Sam May Get $1,000,000.
Recent disclosures in the "draW-
back" frauds against the government
have put t'is treasury department in
a position practically to dictate the
terms of compromise With the sugar
refining companies. The American
Sugar Refining Companys recent offer
of 100000 may not be accepted in
view of the fact that the government
is said to have evidence to compel
the return of not less than S1,000000.
1t has just become known that in
a recent conference with Attorney
General Wickersham attic ~neys for
the sugar company offered 100000 in
settlement and declared that was the

The offer was declined and the

frauds appear to grow with every

MINERS ARMING.
Believed That Vast Strike Is Brewing
in Minnu Reuions

OeIIeVeu ] Hdt vast 0tTlke is DTGWl1S
in Mining Regions.
Newspaper reports that dissatisfied
workers in Pennsylvania are arming
themselves with rifles on a wholesale
scale, preparing to vast strike, de-
velops the fact that the military au-
thorities have for time past been
taking steps to make sure that none
of the Krag-Jorgensen rifles, which
the United States had discarded in
favor of the new Springfield musker,
are likely to fall in the hands of pcr-
sons bent on resistance to legal au-
thority.
Referring to the first mentioned re-
ports, the ordnance officers say that
the rifles which are being acquired
are probably those discarded by Eu-
ropean armies. which are believed to
be imported into the United States
and to be sold for two or three dol
lars each.
The national government at present
has no power to prevent this traffic
which, it is said, might be a propcl
subject for state regulation. M

Conditions in Chinese Provinces Said
to Be Appalling.


An affecting picture of the ravages
of the famine in China is afforded by
a report to the state department by
the American consul at Marking, en-
closing extracts from the Shanghai
newspapers. The consul says that
the famine is even more severe than
that OF three years ago since 1t af-
fcts larger territory (seven counties
in the northern part of the province
Anhui Kiangsu) and greater popu-
lation, in this case numbering 2,5O0-
900 persons.
The famine is owing to the serious
floods last summer which utterly de.
stroyed the autumn crops. The roads
are filed with refugees, who in many
cases in their desperation are rob-
bing and plundering the villages
where foodstuffs and money are to
be found.
