ENTERTAINMENT BY EPWORTH LEAGUERS Inclement Weather Does Not Affect Attendance, Which Is Large. In spite of the inclemency of tho weather there was a well filled house at the entertainment given by the Kpworth League of the First Methodist church la3t night. The program was made up of several numbers by local talent and was embellished with, four selections which were rendered by Miss Haines, tho popular Chicago reader. Miss Goodman and Miss Dill In a piano duet skilfully rendered one of Wagner's marches from Tannhauser which was well received. Miss Thompson's Creole love song pleased the audience very much and she responded to an encore which brought forth even more applause than her first selection. ski's "The Juggler" taotaolntnnnnunu Miss Mettler's piano eolos, Beethoven's "Minuet" and Moszowskl's "The Jugglers," were very difficult pieces well rendered and were two of the best things on the program. The Misses Ilobbins In "A Serenade" made a splendid impression and were recalled to give an encore. Miss Thompson, who has a very sweet voico, rendered "The Song of Sunshine" and "Pretty Little Kate." Miss Haines a Favorite. Since Miss Haines mada her debut In this city before tho Woman's club as a reader and entertainer, she has become a decided favorite and all of her selections were enthusiastically recieved. Her versatility was again shown by the varied nature of her selections which were all above criticism. Her flr6t two selections, "A Highly Colored Sketch" and "A Young Housewife's Dilemma," were both humorous and were cleverly rendered, but In the last two, "The Death Risk,, and a "Child Reading," Miss Haine3 showed the heights to which she has risen in her .profession. It is safe to say that in child impersonations Miss Haines' equal has never been heard in Hammond. In the "Death Risk" the manner in which she changes from the heavy voice of the soldier to the baby voice of a little girl was remarkable, but the climax of the whole program was reached when in her last selection Miss Haines mimicked the cry of an infant. The Imitation was perfect. Miss Nellie Hannephin of Whiting was the guest of Miss Agnes Stack last evening. J. N. Eastbrook of Lansing, Mich., will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

SPRING TRADE IS GOOD Dry Goods and Millinery the Most Active Feature Some Labor Troubles Reported Iron Market Steady. New York, March 2. It. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Jobbing trade in dry goods and millinery for spring distribution continues the most active commercial feature, a large attendance of country buyers placing liberal orders at the leading centers, and it is the exception when transactions are not equal to those of a year ago, while substantial gains are often recorded. Leading industries have orders covering full production many months in advance, steel mills falling further behind with deliveries because of new business greater than the daily rate of output. The only adverse feature in the outlook is the discussion of wage scales that usually appear about this season, but no extensive struggle is imminent Collections improve, but are still slow In some sections on account of high money rates. Steadiness is the dominant feature of the markets for Iron and steel. Some disposition is noted on the part of pig iron consumer to insist on concessions, but as most furnaces need no new business before July, and some are sold up to the last quarter of the year, price are firmly held and few contracts are placed. CABINET ABOUT ALL DUTCH Tran6vaal Boers Have Put Only One Briton in Office Botha Is Premier. Pretoria, Transvaal, March 2.

It is understood that the Dutch party is negotiating with Judge Wessels, the celebrated champion of the uitlandera before the war, to persuade him to accept the attorney generalship. The cabinet will be sworn in March 4, and parliament then will be formally constituted and elect a speaker. After this has been done it will adjourn to meet in May or June.

RS.EDDV'SSOHSUES

Wants an Accounting from Those Who Run His Mother's Business. SAYS SHE CAFT DO IT HERSELF Had Much Trouble in Getting a Forty-Five-MInute Interview. That Froved, Tie Says, That His Mother Is Mentally Infirm Concord Kddyite 3Ianaers Scout the Allegation. Concord. X. II., March 2 A bill In equity to secure an accounting of tne Suancial affairs of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, head of the Christian Science society, has been filed in the superior court for Merriinac county by Mrs. Eddy's son, George W. Glover, of Deadwood, S. IX, and his daughter, Miss Mary Baker Glover, and. George W. Baker, of Bangor, Me., nephew and "next friend" of Mrs. Eddy. The bill is directed against Alfred Farlow and other trustees of the Christian Science church in Boston, and Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's secretary ; Lewis C. Strang, her assistant secretary, and Herman S. Herring, first reader of the church in Concord. Couldn't Get Near His Mother. In a statement issued by ex-United States Senator William E. Chandler, special counsel in the action, it is declared that Glover is actuated by no spirit of disrespect to his mother, but believe that the proceeding is in her real interest. The statement further declares that Glover had long thought that his mother was growing too feeble in body and mind to attend to important business matters, but that for a long time he was unable to confirm this suspicion because those immediately about her seemed unwilling to allow even her nearest relatives to have an interview long enough to reveal her actual condition. He Finally Gets a Show. Early In January, it is stated, Glover during a visit to Concord, was enabled to talk with his mother for threequarters of an hour, and as a result, after due consideration, he decided upon the present action "As an imperative duty too long neglected." Speciiically the bill alleges that the nominal plaintiff, Mrs. Eddy, who sues "by her next friend." is and for a long time has been incompetent to do business or to understand transactions conducted in her name in connection with her property. Accounting Wanted from Trustees. The next allegation is that the de fendants have possessed themselves of her person and property and have carried on her business. It is also al leged that having done this, knowing of her infirmity, they have become trustees for her of all property which has come into her possession and are bound to give account thereof and of all their transactions in her name. It is further alleged that there is reason to fear that the defendants wrongfully converted some of her property to their own use, and that there are particular transactions of which an account should be given. BOTH SIDES ABE TALKING Chandler Makes a Statement So Do Eddyite Officials. Chandler gave out the following statement: "Mx. George W. Glover and his daughter, Miss Marv Baker Glover, during their recent trip to Washington and the east investigated the condition of Mr. Glover's mother, Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy. She was weak bodily, and her mind was beclouded and enfeebled and possessed by strange and irrational notions. It was clear to them that, if not insane, her mental faculties were so far impaired that she could not at tend to financial affairs nor give any intelligent direction to any business of hers which might be of any import ance. ' Frank S. PtreetfT, personal counsel for Mrs. Eddy, gave out the following statement: "My attention was first called to these proceedings about 5 o'clock this afternoon. I have not since conferred with Mrs. Eddy. Within two weeks she has consulted me several times on business matters of importance. Her capacity to manage her business and other affairs whicn she Is interested in cannot be questioned. When the things ehe has done in behalf of her son and her four grandchildren ft all be known they and their counsel cannot fail to deeply regret their present action and the publicity they have given it" Frank" Gotch, champion wrestler of the United States, won both of his matches at Cincinnati, his antagonists being a Jap and Eddie Barr, of Cincinnati. He had to throw each inside of fifteen minutes. Judge Landis, at Chicago, had to sentence a fellow alumnus of the Cincinnati law school to imprisonment on a charge of misuse of the mails. The Y. M. C. A. building at Utica, N. T., burned. Loss, $150,000. Rare books valued at several hundred thousand francs have been stolen from the State Library of Fine Arts at Paris. The Persian national assembly has agreed to the proposal that tha new national bank of Persia advance the government the sum of $3,000,000. Dr Claudia. Williman has been elected president of the republic of Urn 5W.
