HEALTH OF MRS. TDDT A MYSTERY

New Ycrk World Claims She is Dying and Another is Impersonating Her. WENT DRIVING YESTERDAY HEAD OF THE CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS' CHURCH PROMISES TO GIVE PUBLISHERS' PRESS AN INTERVIEW. Publishers' Pressl New York, October 29. The World, Sunday, in a long article attempts to prove that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the Christian Science church, is the victim of cancer and is dying in a guarded room at Concord, N. H., while another woman rides through the streets impersonating her. Concord,, N. H., Oct. 29. The mys tery that surrounds the health of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of and j supreme head of the Christian Sci- j ence church of the world, bids fair to i be dispelled if her personal entourage keeps promise they gave this after- J noon and grant a personal interview ; with the staff correspondent of the Publishers Press. It is an absolute ; and uncontradictable fact that Mrs. Kddy has not been personally visible, : excepting for brief a period daily as fihe rode by in a tightly closed car-; riage, tp;any of her former inmates in Concord for more than a year until she, yesterday, alarmed by the circu lation of the report that she was dy ing of cancer, sent for two of Con cord's best known citizens and talked with them for a brief space of time. Took a Drive Yesterday. Mrs. Eddy took a drive today. It was ine momer 01 me science l-uuil-u that entered the richly appointed brougham at the homestead, 2 miles outside of town, if the evidence of ones eyes are to be believed. There was no mistaking that face and figure, leaning heavily on the arms of a male and female attendant, she was half carried, half tottered across from her front door to her carriage, and was carefully stowed away inside. - Three times during her hour and a half drive did the correspond ent range along side the carriage and closely note its occupant. Only once did she 'display even the slightest degree' of interest and that was when the two vehicles came rather dangerously close together. - Then she languidly ra'.sed her long eyelashes she was half huddled, half reeling in the corner of her carriage, and she look -d out of the closed windows in a semi-appealing way. Promises an Interview. When Mrs. Eddy returned home she was helped across the veranda again Into her home and then the promise was made that she would see the Pub lishers Press correspondent Tuesday at noon. But a personal interview can reveal but little not already known. ' Her physical strength is waning fast, and she, only a shadow of her former self, realizes it as well as any one else, She will put on a bold front, but ev n hr iron constitution can hardly "play he part" much longer, although her thoroughbred blood can be depended upon to play it through to the last so long as her mind remains rea sonably clear. REVIVAL CARRIED INTO HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL Yesterday morning at High school chapel in the absence of Dr. Elliott as speaker, the Rev. Mr. Wade of the First M. E. church spoke on '"The Source of Strength." Mr. and Mrs. Rykert who are in the city with Dit Elliott were at chapel and rendered two selections. Mrs. Rykert accompanied Mr. Rykert on the piano. Tho students and teachers were so pleased with his singing that he has been asked to come back next Monday when Dr. Elliott will speak.

ALSO WISCONSIN CENTRAL PERSISTENT RUMORS COMING FROM HIGH RAILROAD OFFICIALS LEND CREDENCE TO THE LIKELY STORY. Although President Bradford of the C. C. & L. and the Wisconsin Central railroad, has denied time and time again that his election to the presi dency of the Wisconsin Central would have nothing to do with the combination of the two roads it Is generally conceded among the high railroad officials of the country, that such a move on the part of the officials of the two roads will be the final outcome. They even go farther, to predict that the Illinois, Iowa & Minnesota railroad and the so called Walsh roads the Southern Indiana and the Chicago Southern will become a part of the new system as planned. - It is a known fact that the directors of the Wisconsin Central are largely interested in the C. C. & L., as they are also the other roads that are named for the new syndicate. All the roads by building a few short connections can be brought together and a complete system would be formed, which would be a powerful one. The roads standing separately have never been of any great strength but the combination would be effective. It is rumored that President Bradford will be asked to assume the presidency of the en-i tire new system.
