THE DEATH OF MRS. EDDY.
The death of Mary Baker Eddy marks the passing into the Great Beyond of the most remarkable woman who ever lived. In spite of the opposition she encountered, she founded a religion and built up a church that is the wonder
of the world today. The ordinary mind, not in harmony with the tenets of
Christian Science is not qualified to pass judgment upon it nor upon
the work of Mrs. Eddy per se. It is easy for the scoffer in speaking of any
religion to point out that only the emotional, the susceptible and the ignorant
are swayed by religion. Can one do ought else, but be amazed when con
sidering that Mrs. Eddy's teachings and her faith have in the main been accepted in the main by the people of the greatest intelligence and finest char
acter? When one thinks of the noble men and women who have embraced Christian Science as children have faith in their parents, it is not hard to
understand how the death of this splendid woman ha3 moved the world..
WHAT AN OUTCRY THEN!
The death at Longcliffe of a mother, readered insane over the death of her son caused by over-indulgence in athletics, is the sequel of a sad chapter
of events.
It serves once more to call attention to the dangers that lurk in the train of such like strenuous sports as practiced in many Lake county schools.
The boy in question, Clarence Tilton, is not the first Lake county school child to pay the penalty for his too free indulgence in these games, with
his lifo.
In addition there are any number who take on ills, which while they do
not kill the enthusiasts, lead to lifelong troubles of various natures.
Had Clarence Tilton been murdered outright, there would have been a great hue and cry, though the act might have been committed with no more deep-seated malice than attends the spirit of contending factions in the
average football game. Yet the useless slaughter of school athletics goes
on year after year, with never more than an occasional protest, and that a
half-hearted one, from the public.
WOULD ELIMINATE THIS.
If the commission form of government were in vogue in Gary today the streets would not present such an unkempt appearance. Broadway, 100 feet wide, the best lighted and the most imposing thoroughfare in Indiana, is in
a very dirty condition since the recent snow fall. Some people may ask why it is not cleaned. No doubt the city adminis
tration will answer that there are no funds available for it and that an "in
surgent common council will not make the appropriation. Hence the streets
will remain uncleaned.
Had not the administration displayed such eagerness, last winter when
the snows were heavy, in favoring certain contractors and construction companies with fat commissions to haul away the refuse at fancy prices there
might be some money to keep the streets clean.
Although an appropriation was made a year ago to take care of the street department needs until Jan. 1, 1911, that department was extravagant and
had to have financial aid in June. Then it got some more money the other
night and now it is stod to be "broke" again.
As a result the streets of Gary are dirty. For the first time in its his
tory Broadway is uncleaned and lacks its usual spick and span appearance r- t . . -
oary s civic priae is not up to its usual standard because of these short
comings.

EAST CHICAGO ENCOURAGED. East Chicago is considerably encouraged over the outlook in the industrial situation. While many other towns are characterized by an unusual dullness, East Chicago has to its credit a number of improvements that are underway and at least one new industry started within the past few days. The last named is the Calumet Car company, a concern which has been idle ever since its location there, owing to having felt the depression which all car repair shops experienced following the exposure of the great Illinois Central graft scandal. The company has, however, changed hands and has within the past few days etered upon the execution of a colossal contract, the wrecking of 3,600 cars which will keep the plant running at full capacity for at least six months. The officials of the company are justified in the belief that during this period enough other orders will have piled up to render the Industry one of the established and substantial ones of the region. Adding to this fact comes the interesting one that the Green Engineering company contemplates, and has indeed already started, extensive improvements, while, the, Hubbard Steel Founderies have began a new building which will almost if not quite double their capacity.

Boston, Dec. 5. Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of Christian Science, died late Saturday night of old age
at her home on Beacon street, Chestnut Hill. She was In her ninetieth year, having celebrated her elghty-ningth birthday on July 16 last.
The end came peacefully at 10:45 o'clock, so quietly that Mrs. Eddy's intimate followers who stood at her bedside
thought she had fallen into a calm sleep. The last written words of the mother of the Christian Science church.
penned as a message to her disciples, were "God is my life."
The body lay in state yesterday and last night in the large room on the ground floor of her home at Chestnut
Hill. Only the leaders of the church were permitted to take a last look at her face.
According to the announcement made yesterday, preparations may be made to allow the members of the Boston church to pass the bier before the funeral takes place. It is doubtful, however, at the present time whether any such arrangements will be made". It was Mrs. Eddy's last expressed desire that the utmost simplicity might be followed after she had passed away. Though death supervened Saturday night no public announcement was made of her demise until Sunday morning. To the worshipers In the new Christian Science church the tidings were broken in a mere statement that Mrs. Eddy has pased to her rest. Just prior to the reading of this notice from the pulpit, Alfred Farlow, chairman of the publication committee of the church, announced Mrs. Eddy's death to the newspapers in Eoston. Mrs. Eddy had been indisposed about nine days, but she did not take to her bed until Friday night. She never rose after that. She ate her meals regularly until Saturday night, when her supper was served while she lay in bed. She was in possession of all her faculties until the very end.
