BUS DENIAL Br SCIENTISTS

Local Members of the Church of Mrs. Eddy Receive Communication.

CONTROVERSY IS BEGUN

HIGHEST COURT RULES

EIGHT HOUR LAW CASE

THE DECLARATION IS MADE THAT PICTURE PUBLISHED IN MAGAZINE WAS NOT THAT OF MRS. EDDY.

II. It. Marlatt. the Richmond representative of the publication committee of the Christian Science -hurch lias made public the following statement, given out in IJoston by Alfred Farlcw, general manager of th committee: MeClure's magazine in the December Issue, published a picture which is represented as a photograph of Mrs. Kddy taken in 1SS2. It is not a picture of Mr. Eddy, but is a likliby the affidavit of . Mrs.ChevallHer. who formerly lived in IJoston, and who died in California two years ago. ThM fact if incontestable" established by the affidavit of Mrs. Chevallier, which wo have just received from her on, and which is an exact duplicate

of the one used by MeClure's. "In connection with this imrtrait, McCltire'H publishes an editorial announcement of a story relating to the ICev, Mary Haker C Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Scieue. It Is stated that as a result of a careful investigation their story is probably 'as neiir absolute accuracy as history ever gets.' Indeed, the introduction in question lays great fctress upon the accuracy of its proposed, history. Again it is said: practically no assistance can be obtained from Christian Scientists themselves,' that 'she, Mrs. Eddy refused to be consulted personally on the main facts of her own life.' "It should be stated that according to the custom, MeClure's representative who applied to Mrs. Eddy for an interview, was referred to the committee ori publication. Who is specialy appointed , for the purpose of rendering any assistance in his power to the representatives of the public press who may be gathering data on the subject of Christian Science and its leader. Offers Not Accepted. "In a conversation with members ff MeClure's staff, several months ago. I Informed them that if they would submit their data to me I would be pleased to assist them in their verification, giving them as my reason that their were documents in circulation and rumors afloat which were not genuine. They have not availed themselves of my offer. "Notwithstanding the facts which we have stated, we find in this editorial announcement a picture of another woman which is represented by MeClure's as a portrait of 'Mrs. Mary Haker O. Eddy,' taken 'in Boston in

3SS2. The picture does not in any point resemble Mrs. Eddy. No Reply Received. "On November 9, and before the December number of MeClure's was placed on the news stands, I wrote to the managing editor of MeClure's apprising him of this error, but received no reply. My letter follows: " "I have just been looking at the advertisements which you have in Jlidgway's of the 17th inst. In the center of the page is a picture which I assume is represented as a portrait of Mrs. Eddy. I hasten to inform you that this is not a picture of Mrs. Edly; there is nothing about it that would remind one of her. I have teen Mrs. Eddy frequently during the past tenty-two years and know her face well enough to draw a likness of it if I were an artist therefore I speak from positive knowledge. v,." 'It was my fear that you might "be imposed upon by just such counterfeits that impelley me to suggest that your manuscript relating to Mrs. Eddy be submitted to some one thoroughly posted concerning the events of her life. Misuse of Signature. "Directly underneath the McClure portrait is a modern' signature of Mrs. Eddy, which might give the impression that it had been written on ihis photograph by Mrs. Eddy. This of course could not possibly be true since the portrait is not a likeness of Mrs. Eddy and never was in her hands. IVneath one of the genuine portraits appended tohis statement, wc publish a fascimile of Mrs. Eddy's signature as she wrote it in 1SS2. "When called upon to produce the photograph from which the picture was made, and to give the name of the photographer, the editor of Mc Clure's declined, saying he would give what information he could a fewdays later. "I then went to work to obtain evidence, by which I could disprove MeClure's allegation, and show the public that another face had been substituted for that of Mrs. Eddy."

CASE IS HOT DECIDED

TWO STORIES WERE TOLD

Judge Fox After Listening to Testimony in Divorce Suit of Louisa vs. Nathaniel Williams Takes Case Under Advisement.

Mrs. Louisa Williams has not found it an easy matter to secure a divorce from her husband, Nathan Williams, in the Wayne Circuit court, as she may have supposed it would be. On the order of Judge Fox, Williams was summoned to testify although he was at first reluctant to do so. When the testimony was submitted it was found that there were two sides to the story and Judge Fox took the matter under advisement until Monday morning. Mrs. Williams alleged desertion and failure to provide and submitted testimony to substantiate her claims. Williams came back with testimony to the effect that while employed at Viiicennes. Ind., he sent his wife money and that on his return home he found that she had moved and refused to give him quarters, lie exhibited receipts to prove his statements as to the money se-

JAwr.s h.higgim. i a n d is usnally counted In the Republican column. The state went Republican except on the governorship. The Republican candidate for governor was the present ineumbTt of the offlre, George II. TJtte. , and Iliggins won against him by a plurality of 1.23S. Ills election was rendered possible by the support he received from independents organized as Lincoln Republican. When Governor Elect niggles was firft chosen mayor of Powtueket four years ago, he was only twenty-six years old and was at that time reputed to be the younget mayor in the United States. At thirty he wins a reputation as the youngest governor. He looks even youuger than he is, and when he first went before tbe electors five years ago as a candidate for member of the Rhode Island assembly he seemed hardly more than a boy. At the first rally in which be participated he was greeted with cries of "Whote kid are you?" But he showed tbe voters that in spite of his youthful appearance he was worthy of their trust and was nominated the following year for mayor of Pawtucket, being three times re-elected.
