THEY ARE NOT WORRIED.
Christian Scientists Think the Eddy
Will Is Good.

New York, Jan. 13.-New York Off
Gals of the Christian Science church
profess themselves unbalanced over the
announcement that the Mother church
in Boston may lose the s2,0o0,000 which
Mrs. Eddy intended should revert to it
upon her death. The following state
nent was given out by Eugene H. Cox.
chairman of the publication committee
of the Christian Science church in this
state:
while no one seems to have looked
up the other side of this matter and
determined whether or not the OPP
ponents of the viii have overlooked
something, we are quite sure. that Gen.
Henry NJ. Baker, the administrator, will
take whatever steps are necessary in
opposing those who appear to be so
anxious to thwart the wishes of Mrs.
Eddy.
80 far as the cause of Christian
Science is concerned, the final DISPOSE
tion of that $2,000,O00 matters very lit
tie
1T really makes no difference to the
cause one way or the other. The cause
has grown to its present stage without
the money in question and it would be
ridiculous to suppose that it will not
keep on growing without the bequest.'

Lord Decies Has an Experience With
Customs Officers.

New York, Jan. 13.-Lord Decies,
who arrived here late last night to visit
his fiancee, Miss Vivien. Gould, had a
taste of Uncle Sans red tape before
he left the steamship pier.
Mrs. George j. Gould had requested
him to get for her on the other side,
and was told that the duty on it was
$500. He rendered a check for that
amount and was surprised to find that
the rule of Uncle Sam was cash only.
All the cash he had with him was
$500. He knew nobody on the pier
and there was nobody of the Gould
family to meet him.
After waiting about an hour he de-
cided that he would leave the gown
in the hands of the customs men until
this afternoon and then send down the

ever since the trouble started last
night, the men fighting the fire in
the High Ore mine had been unable
to make any headway against it. To-
night. in fact, it is impossible, to get
anywhere near it. To approach the
scene of the fire through the High
Ore itself is out Of the question, as
the place is still full of gas. Men are
trying to approach it from the Modoc
mine workings, but have to move
cautiously on account of the bad air.
The idea is now that it will be sew
eral days before the fire can be
reached. Meantime no work can be
done in the High Ore, Diamond, Bell,
Speculator, Modoc and Balaklava
mines The fire is very close to the,
workings of these two last-named
mines, and the gases and smoke have
made it unsafe to work in any of the
six. Part of the men in the West
Gray Rock also were off for the day
and night for the same reason.
No more fatalities have been record
ed, other than what We're known last
night-Mille Belingie in the High Ore
