MRS. MARY B. EDDY.

Famous Christian Science Leader Who Has Been Called by Death.

MRS.EDDY’S END GOMES

Death Said to Have Been Due to Attack of Pneumonia. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who has always insisted upon being called the “Discoverer and founder” of Christian Science, died at her splendid mansion on Beacon street, in the Chestnut Hill section of the city of Newton. Mass., of pneumonia, at the age of eighty-nine, after a short illness. The same mystery which has enshrouded Mrs. Eddy for years was thrown about her demise. The undertaker was hot allowed to say a word except through Mr. Farlow. Scarcely anything could be had as to her: last illness and the news of Mrs. Eddy’s death was withheld from the public until twelve hours after it occurred. Anticipating that, in view of the past rumors, the question will be immediately raised how any one Is to know that the woman who died in Newton was really Mrs. Eddy, or was some one else who has been impersonating her for years, Mr. Farlow said that the leaders did not really care what was said. They know Mrs. Eddy and he himself had personally talked with her about four weeks ago. George W. Glover, of Lead, S. D., Mrs. Eddy’s sen, is probably on the way here by this time and he will know his mother’s face beyond’any doubt.

RAILROADS INDICTED

Violation of the Sherman Anti-Truit Law is Charged. After hearing testimony in Savannah, Ga., the federal grand jury of the United States district court handed down indictments charging an infringement of the auti-trust laws on the part of three large cororation and two individuals. The Atlantic Coast line and Seahoard Air line railways were indicted jointly with the Merchants’ and Miners’ Transportation company for specific predations of the Sherman antitrust ai/d Elkins laws. Harvey Miller and Morris Miller, grain nVrchants and members of L. F. Millet & Sons. Philadelphia, were the individuals to fell the wrath of the government. The indictment of Morris was a surprise. The Miller brothers put themselves in the jurisdiction of the United States court for the southern district of Georgia through their shipments into this district over the lines of the three corporations indicted. In the indictments dates are given when the individual defendants are alleged to have made shipments over the lines named at rates less than those on file with the interstate commerce comission. It is alleged that from western points to Philadelphia the Millers obtained export rates where the Jaw demanded -domestic rates. This saved them from 1 to 3 cents on every 100 pounds of grain shipped. • ’

COAL TRUST HIT BY COURT RULING

Temple Iron Company Held to Exist in Violation of Law/ U.S. WINS IMPORTANT VICTORY Action Was Against Railroads and Companies Controlling More Than 90 Per Cent of Anthracite Lands in Pennsylvania. ' ' Philadelphia, Dec. 9. —The Temple Iron company, owned and controlled by six railroads and dominating about nine-tenths of all the unreined anthraciie coal in Pennsylvania, was declared by the United States court to exist in violation of the Sherman antitrust law. The decision was given hv Judges Gray and Buffangton. The third member, Judge Earning, gave a dissenting vole to the effect that the evidence did not prove that the Iron company is an illegal combination. By the decision the United States wins an important, but only partial victory. When it began the action in Jure, 1907, it was with a set purpose (o disrupt the comTiination for control of the afithracite trade.

Until 1899 the Temple company was little but a charter. Since then it has been an active operating coal company. The company bought from Simpson ard Watkins ten anthracite coal companies near Scranton, issuing in payment $2,200 000 out of $.7,000,000 stpek and $3,500,000 in 4 per cenj mortgageand collateral trust bonds out of an authorized issue of $15,000,000. Other agreements, executed the same day, transferred ownership of the $2,500,000 Temple Iron stock and of such additional part of the $5,000,000 total stock authorized as might be issued to six companies, they also guaranteeing the Temple Iron company bonds in like percentage as they received the stock as follows: Reading company, 29.96 .per cent; Lehigh Valley Railroad company, 28.88 per cent; Central Railroad Company of New Jersey, 17.42 per.cent; Delaware, Lackawanna and West#f& Railroad company,. 19.52 per cent; Erie Railroad company, 5.84, per cent, and New' York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad, 4.68. ' The coal trust suit was directed against fourteen anthracite railroads and forty-five other companies and operators controlling more than 90. per cent of the anthracite lands of Pennsylvania and three-quarters of the output of hard coal.

Mothers Should Remember—

If you want 1 lie nursery to be healthy have in it as few unwashable things as possible. Nothing that pollutes the air (animals in cages, soiled clothes, slop pails and such like) should ever remain in a room iu which children live. The nursery floor should never be washed on a wet day. It cannot be properly dried when the atmosphere is damp, and sleeping or playing in a room not thoroughly dry is a frequent cause of coughs, colds, bronchitis and croup.

Health Point. ,

Children’s underclothing should be changed at least twice a week. The health of the skin influences the well being of the entire body, and to keep the skin in health scrupulous cleanliness is necessary.

NATIONAL SOLONS IN SESSION AGAIN

Begi.i Ninety-Day Struggle to Enect Legislation. With the opening at the national capital -ef-'the final session of the Sixtyfirst congress began the ninety-day struggle to enact'into law a score or more of Republican ideas that must be disposed of before the new Democratic house comes into power, if they are to become laws at ail. j An impelling curiosity to see how men, long in the public eye as statesmen of commanding influence, would bear up under the crumpling of their political fortunes, drew to the capitol at an early hour a crowd of unsual proportions. Many of those who are numbered year after year in the opening session gathered, like theater “first-nighters,” there as critics. They recogniz ed the faces of most of the prominent members of both branches of congress and, parading the corridors; they pointed out amerg the celebrities such members as were bitten by the hoar frost arid bleak -winds of Nov. 8. The running comment that could be heard by mingling with the throng was often ludicrous, and reasons were assigned for the defeat of this or that member that had ntv'tr occurred to tie political experts who searched for logical explanations.'

The fixed converting fiqur was 12 o’clock, but long before that time senators and representatives; nr d reached their office' rooms in the two splendid buildings near, the north and south ends of the ca; Pel building while (lie* crowds of spectators, who always holding a reconvening of congress dear to their hearts, were on hand early in the morning, waiting for vantage points in the galleries. The session of both the senate and the house was brief. After the two houses were called to order, invocations were delivered by the chaplains, resolutions were adopted by each notifying the other of its convening, appointments of the joint committee to notify the presi lent that the Sixtyfirst congress was ready to resume business in its final session were made, ahd* adjournment as the tribute to memories and members of the two houses who had died during the recess followed. Senators McEnery of Louisiana, of lowa, Daniel of Virginia and Clay of Georgia, all prominent figures in the upper house had died since recess. On the house side Representative Tirrel of Massachusetts, Gilmore of Louisinia and Foulkrod of Pennsylvania had passed away. Speaker Cannon received a remarkable ovation when he took up the gavel to announce the opening of the house session. « Just at the completion of the prayer In the house Representative Champ Clark of Missouri entered the chamber and the Democratic side burst into prolonged cheering,, hailing him as the next speaker. Mr. Clark acknowledged the ovation merely by bowing The White House was the Mecca cf many “insurgent” Republicans. Some said they were invited by the president while others came of their own volition. Senator Bristow of Kansas was among the first callers at the executive offices. He was quickly followed by Representatives Norris of Nebraska, 'Murdock arid Madison of Kansas and Hayes of California.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S MESSAGE

Salient Points in the Communication to Congress. The annual message of President Taft was read in both houses of congress. The salient points in it are as follows: ' Suggestion that there be a check In legislating business until recently enacted laws have been given a test in application. Strengthening of confidence by capital In domestic investments held to be needful.

Renewed declaration that revision of tariff by schedule is only method to save country from periods of uncertainty which attend a general revision. , Request that tariff board be converted into permanent commission similar to those maintained by European governments. Advocacy or nonpartisan and disinterested study of banking and currency system on theory that this is not partisan, but a national problem. Conservation legislation making possible reservation of more forest lands, and leasing of coal and mineral lands and waterpower sites with proper safeguards for people’s rights.

Business Opening.

Girls who want to begin sewing as a business can always find demand for well made shirt waists. The fancy bionse and the plain shirt are an excellent entering wedge into the professional world of dressmaking. Most young women who have made their own shirt - waists successfully have at any rate more originality in the matter of varying the plaits and of nice little touches of trimming than the overbusy dressmaker, who “doesn’t bother with shirts,” except to keep a customer. ' \ There are girls' clubs in almost every Tillage and city, and a card or a dozen cards left there 1 wiii usually bring ail the customers a novice will care to contend with. Nobody shall say to what height the beginner may aspire, but certain it is that she who is willing to commence in a modest way on inexpensive materials and witli little outstanding money will the sooner reach a height She will never regret the early days when she was, by a less ostentatious beginning, enabled to study the customer and business detail in general.

It Can Be Made of Odds and Ends.

If you want to be in the swirl of fashion make yourself a turban and muff set like the one illustrated. You can easily accomplish the task wjth pieces of velvet and fur from your milliner's scrap box. For the muff, whkh is of puffed velvet shirred vertically, quite a large piece of velvet

TURBAN AND MUFF SET OF SILK AND FUR.

will be necessary, as the muff is of a generous size. The puffed crown of the turban is of the same velvet, and both turban and muff are edged with fur. The set pictured is of berry toned velvet and smoked fox for, - but a combination of silk and velvet would be almost as effective. t There is a fad this season for these fabric and fur muff and turban sets.
