HAS ACUTE ADVISORS

Mr3. Eddy's Counsel Spring3 a Move That Ex-Senator Chandler Calls a "Trick." SHE MAKES A "DEED OF TRUST" AH Her Property in the Hands of Tras j tees, Cutting Out the "Next Friends," as Supposed. Concord, N. II., April 3. A motion for leave to intervene involving the substitution of duly appointed trustees ns plaintiffs In place of the "next friend3," is the answer of Mrs. Baker G. Eddy, founder of Christian Science, made through her counsel in the suit brought to compel an accounting of her property. The motion came as a distinct surprise. By a deed of trust Mrs. Eddy transferred her entire estate, with a few minor reservations, to Henry M. Baker, of Bow; Archibald McLellan, of Boston, and.Josiah E. Fornald, of Concord. These trustees are bonded to the extent of $500,000. Cuts Out the "Next Friends." It is now alleged that Mrs. Eddy cannot be compelled to appear in court in connection with the pending litigation. The trustees are empowered to prosecute and defend, for the benefit of the estate of Mrs. Eddy, any suits at law or in equity, whether now pending or that may afterwards be brought, with reference to any matter In which she may personally be interested. With the exception of McLellan the trustees are not believers In Christian Science. Streeter's "Sarskastical" Remark. Frank S. Streeter, personal counsel for Mrs. Eddy, and also counsel for the trustees, made a satement in which he said: "The creation of a trust to take charge of and care for all her property and business affairs was contemplated by Mrs. Eddy before she had any knowledge that the equity suit was be gun or contemplated, and she had con sulted me with reference thereto. As to the suit Itself, If, as claimed, it was begun for the sole purpose of protecting Mrs. Eddy's property interests, the 'next friends' should feel relieved from any anxiety." As Viewed by Attorney Chandler Washington, April 3. Ex-United States Senator Chandler, counsel for the plaintiffs in the GloverEddy suit, issued a statement in which he declared that the new trust for Mrs Eddy's property "Is a trick" contrived by her "jailers" to avoid a possible re ceivership, and that the defendants in the suit have "used her delusions and incompetency to serve their own selfish ends." He says: "In the face of our averment that Mrs. Eddy is not fit to do business they made her sign a deed by which she admits the truth of our claim that she is unfit, and under this deed they seize all the property. The validity of this performance four days after the suit was brought will be in quired into when the lawsuit is tried. PRESIDENT'S WIFE A NURSE Senora Zelaza the Heroine of the Cen tral American War Takes Care of Soldiers. Washington, April 3. Senora Zel aya, the wife of President Zalaya, of Nicaragua, has made herself the idol o fthe Nlcaraguan army by her active service at the head of the Red Cross In recent battles between the Hondurans and Nicaraguans. James Deitrlck, a mining engineer, with Interests in Honduras and Nicaragua, who called at the state department to discuss the Central American troubles, said: "Senora Zalaya rodo more than 1"0 miles on muleback to reach the scene of the military operations, and she personally assisted In caring for the sick and wounded of both the Iloaduran and Nicaraguan armies. The people of the republic have always been devoted to her, but her popularity is now unprecedented, and she is greeted as a second Florence Nightingale. Japanese Ships to Jamestown. Aden, Arabia, April 3. A dispatch received here from the Island of Perim. in the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, at the entrance to the Red Sea, announces that two Japanese warships bound for Hampton Roads have passed there. The vessels are the cruisers Chitose and Tukuba, which sailed from Yokohama Feb. 2S. under the command of Vice Admiral Ijuin, assistant chief of the general staff of the Japanese navy. HOMESTAKE hlne FIRE Gas Fills the Levels and Men Can Work Only with Difflcntly and Danger. Lead. S. DM April 3. Carbon diox'de gas has practically filled the different levels in the Homestake mine, which is on fire, and all men with the exception of cage tenders, pump men and a few men building brattices have been laid off on the Lead side. Men aro being overcome by the dozen as the gas permeates more workings, and as the resting power of the men is weakened from the long struggle. The men on the cages can work only from twenty minutes to half an hour, but a force of men is able by constant relays to keep the pump gDlng on the 1.100-foot level. The mills are still running, but it is expected that they will be obliged to hang up some ttamps soon.

"You heard Mr. Roebuck's tele gram, said I. "You are angry with me," she per sisted. "No, Carlotta," said I. "I was, but .fluvrrt wvrsz. i- ' lis i WW E Wfff&VM 5 M IA mm v.

"To let me know as gently and as kindly as you could that you proposed to end our engagement. And I guess you are right. We do not seem to care for each other as we ought if ve " "You misunderstood me," she said, pale and with flashing eyes, and in such a struggle with her emotions that she could say no more. If I had not seen that only her pride and her vanity were engaged in the struggle, and her heart not at all, I think I should have abandoned my comfortable self-deception that my own pride borbade discussion with her. As it was, I was able to say: "Don't try to spare me, Carlotta, I'm glad you had the courage and the good sens not to let us both drift into irrevocable folly. I thank you." I opened the door into the hall. "Let us talk no more about it. We could say to each other only the things that sting or the things that stab. Let us be friends. You must give me your friendship, at least" I took her hand. She looked strangely at me. "You want me to humble myself, to crawl at your feet and beg your pardon." said she between her teeth. "But I shan't." She snatched away her hand and threw back her head. "I wish nothing but what is best for us both," said I. "But let us not talk of it now when neither of us i3 calm." "You don't care for me!" sho cried. "Do you love me?" I rejoined. Her eyes shifted. I waited for her reply, and when it did come, I said: "Let us go to breakfast." "I'll not go in just now," she answered, in a quiet tone, a sudden and strange shift from that of the moment before. And she let me take her hand, echoing my good-by, and made no further attempt to detain me. That was a gloomy breakfast despite my efforts to make my own seeming good-humor permeate to the

others. Mrs. Ramsay hid a somber j !san(j face behind the coffee-urn; Ed ate fu-, .' , . , ... ... ! : Thank you, he answered, and aftrlouslv, noisily, choking every now .

But somehow freedom did not taste j as I had anticipated. Though I reminded myself that I had acted as any man with pride and self-respect would have acted in such delicate circumstances, and though I knew that Carlotta was no more in love with me

The parlor car was crowded; its only untaken seat was in the smoking compartment, which had four other occupants, deep in a game of poker. Three of them were types of commonplace, prosperous Americans; the fourth could not be easily classed, and, therefore, interested me especially as I was in the mood to welcome anything that would crowd to the background my far from agreeable thoughts.

They talked more and more, he less and less, until finally he rnterrupted their noisy volubility only when the game j compelled. l saw tnat he was one of those men upon whom amiable conversation or liquor or any other relaxing force has the reverse of the usual effect. Instead of relaxing, he drew himself together and concentrated more obstinately upon his game. Luck, bo far as the cards controlled ifi, was rather against him, and tho other three players took turns at audacious and by no means unskillful play. I was soon admiring the way he "sized up" and met each in turn. Prudence did not make him timid. He advanced and retreated, "bluffed" and held aloof, with acuteness and daring. At a station perhaps 50 miles from Chicago, the other three left and Doc had $400 of their money. I dropped into the seat opposite him it was by the window and amused myself watching him, while waiting for a chance to talk to him; for I saw that he was a superior person, and, in those days, when I was in conspicuous and so was not compell ed constantly to he on guard, I never missed a chanco to benefit by such exchanges of ideas. He was apparently about 40 years old, to strike a balance between the youth of eyes, mouth, and contour, and the age of deep lines and grayish, thinning hair. He had large, frank blue eyes, a large nose, a strong forehead and chin, a grossly self-indulgent mouth there was the weakness, there, as usual! Evidently, ( the strength of his mind and character gave him went in pandering to physical appetites. In confirmation of this, there was two curious marks on him a nick in the rim of his left ear, a souvenir of a bullet or a knife, and a scar just under the edge of his chin to the right. When he compressed his lips, this scar, not especially noticeable at other times, lifted up into his face, became of a sickly, bluish white, and transformed a careless, good-humored cynic into a man of danger, a terror. His reverie began, as I gathered from his unguarded face, in cynical amusement, probably at his triumph over his friends. It passed on to 1 f M . . - sua more agreeaDie tmngs some thing in the expression of the mouth expressed thoughts of how he was going to enjoy himself as ho "blew in" his winnings. Then his features shadowed, darkened, and I had my first view of the scar terrible. He shook his big head and big shoulders, roused himself, made ready to take a drink, noticed me, and said: "Won't you join me?" His look was most engaging. I accepted, and we were soon sociable, each taking an instinctive liking to the other. We talked of the business situation, of the news in the papers and then of political affairs. Each of us saw that there he was at the other's keenest interest in life. He knew the game practical politics as distinguished from the politics talked by and to the public. But he evaded, without seeming to do bo, all the ingenious traps I laid for drawing from him some admission that would give me a clew to where he "fitted in." I learned bo more about him than I thought he learned about ire "I hope we shall meet again," said I ! . oa . . f. cah expjainea wny ne seni ior me um i 'see how it had fascinated and absorbed his mind. "You showed me," ihe began, "that you must have under you a practical man to handle the ;money and do the arranging with the heelers and all that sort of thing." Necessarily, he'll know or suspect something not much, but still something of the inside workings of the combine." "Well, I've found him," went on Roebuck, in a triumphant tone. "He's a godless person, with no character to lose, and no conception of what character means. But he's straight as a string. Providence seems to have provided such men for just such situations as these, where the devil must be fought with fire. I've been testing him for nearly 15 years. But you can judge for yourself." I was the reverse of pleased. It was not in my calculations to have a creature of Roebuck's foisted upon me, perhaps indeed, probably a spy. I purposed to choose my own man; and I decided while he was talking, that I would accept the Roebuck selection only to drop him on some plausible pretext before we began oporratHr I was to meet the man at dlllMP. Roebuck had engaged a

suite at the auditorium. "It wouldn't do to have him at my house or club." said he; "neither do we want to be seen with blca." Coincidence is so familiar a part of the daily routine that I was not much surprised when my acquaintance, the astute poker player with the scar, walked in upon us at the Auditorium. Roebuck wa3 both astonished and chagrined when we shook hands and greeted each other like old friends. "How do you do, Mr. Sayler?" said Wood ruff. "Glad to see you. Dr. Woodruff." I replied. "Then you knew me ail the time? Why didn't you speak out? We might have had an hour's business talk la the train " "If I'd shown myself as leaky as all that, I guess there'd have been no business to talk about," he replied.

Anyhow, I didn't know you till you took out your watch with the mono- j gram on the back. Just as we were pulling in. Then I remembered where I'd seen your face before. I was up at your state house the day that you threw old Dominick down. That's been a good many years ago." That chance, easy, smoking-compart-ment meeting, at which each had studied the other dispassionately, was most fortunate for us both. The relation that was to exist be tween us more, much more, than that of mere employer and employe made fidelity, personal fidelity, imperative; and accident had laid the foundation for the mutual attachment without which there is certain to be, sooner or later, suspicion on both Bides, and cause for It. The two hours and a half with Woodruff, at and after dinner, served to reinforce my first impression. I saw that he was a thorough man of tho world, that he knew politics from end to end, and that he understood the main weaknesses of human nature and how to play upon them for the advantage of his employers and for his own huge amusement. He gave a Bmall exhibition of that skill at th expense of Roebuck. He appreciated that Roebuck was one of those unconscious hypocrites who put consolence out of court in advance by assuming that whatever they wish to do Is right or they could not wish to do It. He led Roebuck on to show off this peculiarity of his a jumbling, often In the same breath, of the most sonorous piety and the most shameless business perfidy. All the time Woodruff's face was perfectly grave there are some men who refuse to waste any of their Internal enjoyment In external show. Before he left us I arranged to meet him the next morning for the settlement of the details of his employment When Roebuck and I were, alone, I said: "What do you know about him? Who is he?" "He comes of a good family here in Chicago one of the best. Perhaps you recall the Bowker murder?" "Vaguely," I answered. "It was Woodruff who did it. We had a hard time getting him off. Bow ker and Woodruff's younger brother were playing cards one day, and Bow ker accused him of cheating. Youn? Woodruff drew perhaps they both drew at the same time. At any rate, Bowker shot first and killed his man he got off on the plea of self-defense. It was two years before Bowker and Doc met In the lobby of the Palmer house I happened to be there. I was talking to a friend when suddenly I felt a3 if something awful was about to happen. I started up, and saw Bowker Just rising from' a table at the far end of the room. I shan't ever forget his look like a bird charmed by a snake. His lips were ajar and wrinkled as if hi3 blood had fled away inside of him, and his throat was ex panding and contracting." Roebuck wiped beads of sweat from his forehead. "It was Doc Woodrufl walking slowly toward him, with a wicked smile on his face, and that ecar you noticed the scar?" I nodded. "Well, you can imagine how thai scar stood out. He came slowly on, nobody able to move a muscle to stoj him. When he was about ten feel from Bowker and as near me as you are now, Bowker gave a kind of Ehud der and scream of fright, drew his pistol, and fired. The bullet clipped Woodruff's ear. Quick as that " Roebuck snapped his fingers "Doc drew, and sent a bullet into his heart. He fell forward across the table and his pistol crashed on the marble floor. Doc looked at him, gave a cold sort of laugh, like a Jeer and a curse, and walked out into the street. When he met a policeman he said: Tve killed Dick Bowker. Here's my gun. Lock me up' perfectly cool, just as he talked to us to-night." "And you got him off?" "Yes. I hated to do it, too, for Dick was one of my best friends. But Doc was too useful to us. In his line he's without an equal." "How did he get that scar?" said I. "Nobody knows. He left here when he was a boy to avoid being Bent to the reformatory. When he turned up, after a dozen years, he said he had been a doctor, but didn't say where or how. And he had that scar. One day a man asked him how he got it. He picked up a bottle, and, with his pleasant laugh, broke It over the fellow'i jaw. 'About like that,' said he. Pe pie don't ask him questions." "He's my man," said I.
