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.
