. . MARY BAKER EDDY TELLS LIFE STORY

Christian Science Leader Reveals Incidents in Her Past For First Time. WHY SHE WAS DIVORCED. WAS OBLIGED TO PART FROM HER LITTLE SON BECAUSE HER FATHER MARRIED A SECOND TIME. fc Concord, X. If., Jan 5 -(Special.) Mrs. Mary Daker G. Eddy, head of the Christian Science church, tonight gave out for publication a signed statement revealing for the first time many in cidents in her life. Mrs. Eddy tells of her early child hood, of her father and her brothers and sisters, of her earlier education. She goes Into many details concerning the death of her first husband, and, for the first time, reveals the secret hi her divorce from her second hus band. Her motive for making this , statement at the present time is to prove to her followers and to the world that fthe has nothing in her life she wishes to conceal. Incidentally she takes pains to point out inaccuracies in the article concerning her now being print ed in McClure's Magazine. . After drawing a pen picture of her father, Mrs. Eddy takes up the stateinent that the first fifteen years of her life were passed in a lonely home, and that her education ended when she was 12 years old. She says: "Let us see what were the fruits of f t this 'lonely and unstimulating existence.' All my father's daughters were given an academic education, sufficiently advanced so that they all taught school acceptably at various times and places. "My brother Albert was a distinguished lawyer. In addition td my aca demic training I was privately tutored by him. None Died of Cancer. "Regarding the allegation that all the family, 'excepting Albert, died of cancer,' I will say that there was never .a death in my father's family reported by physicians or postmortem examination as caused by cancer. "McClure's Magazine says that 'the quarrels between Mary, a child It years old, and her father, a gray haired man of 50, frequently set the house In an uproar,, and adds that these 'fits' were diagnosed by Dr. Ladd as 'hys teria mingled with bad temper." "My mother often presented my dis position as exemplary for her other children to Imitate, saying: 'When do you ever see Mary angry? Proof of Her Kindness. "I will relate the following incident, which occurred later in life, as illustra tive or my aisposmon: wnue i was living with Dr. Patterson at his coun try home in Rumney, N. II., a girl, to tally blind, knocked at the door and was admitted. She: begged to be allowed to remain, with, me, and my tender ness and sympathy were such that I could not .refuse .her. . Shortly, after, however, my good housekeeper said tp be me: "'If this blind girl stays with you I shall have to leave; she troubles me so much. "It was not In my heart to turn the Mind girl out, and so I lost my housekeeper. "Notwithstanding that McClure's magazine says: 'Mary Baker completed her education when she finished Smith's grammer and reached long division in arithmetic, I was called by the Rev. R. S. Rust, D. D., principal of the Methodist Conference seminary at Sanbornton Bridge, to supply the place of his leading teacher during her temporary absence." Her First Marriage. Regarding her first marriage and the death of her first husband, Mrs. Eddy says: "My first husband, Maj. George W. Glover resided in Charleston. S. C. While on a business trip to Wilmington, N. C, he was suddenly siozed with yellow fever and died in about 9 days. I was with him on this trip. He took ' with him the usual amount of money he would need on such an excursion, nnd their provisions In my behalf were most tender. The governor of the state and staff, with a long procession.,' followed the remains of my beloved one to the cemetery. "The free masons selected my escort, who took me to my father's home in Tllton, N. H. My salary for writing gave mo ample support. I did open an infant school, but it was simply for the purpose of starting that educational system in New Hampshire. . Never a Clairvoyant. "I was never 'given to long and lonely wanderings, especially at night.' as stated by McCIure Magazine. I was always accompanied by some responsible individual when I took an evening walk, but I seldom took one. I have always consistently declared that I was not a medium for spirits. I never was especially interested in the Shakers, never "dabbled in mesmerism never was 'an amateur clairvoyant. nor did 'the superstitious countryfolk frequently seek my advice. I never went into a trance nor described scenes far away, as McClure's . Magazine says. Tells of Her Divorce. "Although, as McClure's Magazine claims, the court record may state that my divorce from Dr. Patterson was granted on the ground of disertion, the causo nevertheless was adultery. Individuals are here today who were present in court when the decision was given by the judge and who lenow the following facts. After the evidence had been submitted that a husband was about to have Dr. Patterson arrested for eloping with his wile, the court Instructed the clerk to record the divorce in my favor. "What iv;aW4 Dr. Patterson's ar-J

rest was a letter from me to this selfsame husband imploring him not to do it. When this husband recovered his wife he kept her a prisoner in her home and I was also the means of reconciling the couple. A Christian Scientist has told me that with tears of gratitude the wife of this husband related these facts to her just as I have stated them. I lived with Dr. Patterson peaceably, and he was kind to me up to the time of the divorce. Gives Up Her Son. "I was oblidged to be parted from my son. because after my father's second marriage-my little boy was not welcome in my father's house. "Who or what is the McCIure 'history so-called presenting? Is it myself, the veritable Mrs. Eddy, whom a New York paper declared dying of cancsr, or Is it her alleged double or dummy heretofore described?"

HOW THE REV.

OF RICHMOND.WON COLORADO

Took the Nomination that Others Rejected and is Perhaps the First Methodist Minis ter to Occupy Such a High Political Position Takes His Office Tomorrow. Denver, Colo., Jan. 5. On Monday there -will be inducted into the office of Governor of Colorado the Rev. Dr. Henry Augustus Buehtel, D. D., A. M.: and LI j. D., and for the first time in the history of Colorado, and possibly of any other State, this high office will be occupied by a Methodist preacher. The story of how Dr. Buehtel accepted the Republican nomination for Governor after it had been declined by . each of tn3 other prominent Republirctn 1 f . .. . 1 I. . i i . en tire corporation-made ticker, State and county through to victory by a plu vality of over 16,000, and also elected a Republican majority in the Legislature which will elect a successor to United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson is a story full of interest, and nut without its humorous phases. Politicians recognized in the move a bold and des-j perate attempt to place the st;?mp of, respectability upon a ticket that hadj suffered deep humiliation. i September 14, the Republican State convention then in session, nominated for governor, Philip B. Stew&rt, of Colorado Springs, a Harvard classmate and close personal friend of President Roosevelt. The nomination was ac cepted by Mr. Stewart on the promise given by "Boss" William G. Evans, president of the Tramway Company, and campaign manager for all the public service corporations, that William H. Gabbert, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, whoso term expires December 31, and who was elected as a Populist six years igo, should be placed on the Republican Slate ticket for re-election. The next day, while Mr. Stewart was suffering from a sudden attack of appendicitis, and was confined to his bed in the hotel, this pledge was violated and Judge Gabbert was re-nominated. This violation of a sacr3d pledge so angered Stewart that as soon, as he had recovered sufficiently to dictate a letter, he formally resigned from the ticket. This occurred two days after the convention had adjourned. The unexpected action of Stewart plunged the Republican campaign management into a chaotic mass. The convention had, as is customary, tak en the precaution to appoint a vacancy committee, and the three members of this committee for four days worked day and night in an effort to fill the vacant place on the ticket. Gabbert Hung on the Nomination. Realizing that he had piad an error, "Boss Evans endeavoreu to bring about the withdrawal from the ticket of Judge Gabbert. It was urged by all the leading spirits that Gabbert would surely defeat the whole ticker. He had for months been bitterly assailed through the press and otherwise, for his alleged pro-corporation rulings on the bench, and his nomination seemed like the waving of a red flag in the face of an enraged bull. But Judge Gabbert refused to resign. He declared that he was on the ticket to say, even if all his associates withdrew. Then pressure was brought to Lear upon Governor Jesse F. McDonald, who had been elevated from the lieu tenant-governorship at the time that Governor Peabody resigned after the famous Governor Adams ouster j roceedings. But the party leaders Lad regarded McDonald as too weak a candidate to present to the convention, and he declined to step into the breach now that the party so urgently tt d ed a Moses. Then Gen. George W. Cook of Cook's drum corps fame, and senior vice-commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, who had been nominated for Congressman-at-Iarge, was appealed to. No governorship for him, however; he wanted to serve his party at Washington. Besides, it looked like sure defeat for any man who had the courage to step into the vacant place. Congressman Robert W. Bonygae and former State Treasurer Whitney Newton, of Pueblo, were next besought to come to the rescue, but botn declined. There was no lack of small fry politicians who saw in the situation an opportunity to achieve some measure of prominence, but not a single real party leader would consider the nomination. Resort, in Desperation to Buehtel. Finally, in desperation, just before midnight of the fourth day after Mr. Stewart's retirement, Dr. Buehtel was called up on the telephone and was then and there tendered and then and there without delay, accepted the nomination, and out of the entire State's population he was no doubt the least surprised over the action of the com mittee. I And this is how it came about: Former Governor John Evans the deceased wealthy father of "Boss" William G. Evans, founded the.University of Denver, a Methodist institution, William G. Evans, together with his mother and other members of the f amHy, have been heavy contributors to the support of this institution, and during the dark days of its financial stress were its mainstay. Six years ago Dr. Buehtel was called to Denver to become chancellor of the University of Denver to succeed Dr. W. F. McDowell, who had been elected a bishop of the church. In his capacity as chancellor he had been thrown much in the company of the-institution's chief supporter. He had Indentified himself with the Republican party, having two years ago stumped the State in behalf of former iGovernor rcabody, who was at that

HENRY 11 BUCHTEL, FORMERLY

If I C--Z 11

GOVERNOR ELECT time a candidate for re-election. Natural for Him to Help. It was queit natural, therefore, that the old family friend and pastor should be turned to in the hour of the party's dire distress, when every available logical candidate, who, under ordinary circumstances, would have jumped at the chance, turned a deaf ear to the importunities of the bosses. Politicians said that the preacher had been sent for and that there was no hope. The result of the election only serves to illustrate the fact that in politics, at least, no one can with positive assurance lok very far into the future, for, far from being the laughing stock of the State, and a weak candidate, Mr. Buehtel surpris ed friend and foe by his practical attitude and his lively campaign. He set forth his position soon after the nomination in the following pointed language: "If I take this nomination, I must take it absolutely untrammeled and unqualified. I -must be under no commitments, obligations or pledges to any individual, organization or corporation of any kind or nature whatsoever, and under no other circumstances will I consider it." At a ratification meeting a few nights subsequently he promulgated the campaign slogan, "Smile and push." Buchtel's Advantage. At the outset Dr. Buehtel had this advantage: For six years" he had been traveling over the State and had visited every city and town of consequence in the interests of the University of Denver, and during that time he had preached in many Methodist churches over the State. In this way he had become well and favorably, known to a large number of people. The Republican campaign committee, backed by Simon Guggenheim, of the smelter trust, who has senatorial am bitions, and by the public service corporations, was plentifully supplied with money and a whirlwind campaign was started, special trains and all. Efforts were made to get a few speeches by Secretary Taft while on the way to and from Idaho, but it is presumed that the President bad heard from his old'college mate Stew- j art. and the plan fell through. j Then came the alleged turndown of j the Democratic managers by William j J. Bryan, who, it is said, thought it j the wise thing to side-step the Colo-1 rado camDaisn on account of the fact ! that Democratic State Chairman Milton Smith is the attorney for the telephone company, and that participation by Bryan might be construed as Inconsistent, in view of the Roger Sul livan incident.

Haywood, secretary and treasurer of .that organization, who, for some months, has been a prisoner in the Idaho penitentiary, awaiting trial on the charge of complicity in the . assassination of Governor Steunenberg, last December. In order to prove their moral support of Haywood and the other imprisoned officials, the miners of the State voted almost solidly for Haywood, and their strength was drawn chiefly from the Democratic ranks. So it happened that when the ballots had all been counted Dr. Buehtel was found to have a plurality of over 16,000, and even Judge Gabbert had been pulled through with a substantial margin.

ES PLOT III FRAIICE Threat to Publish Papers Seized in Paris Calls Out Protest. MAY HURT NEW BISHOPS. ADMITTED IN ROME THAT DOCU. MENTS PROVE THAT POPE DISTRUSTED AND HELD IN LOW ESTEEM CERTAIN PRELATES. Rome, Jan. 5. (Spl.) The Osscrvatore Romano today publishes tho following communication from the Vatican; "It Is stated that the French government intends to publish the ti-xt tX some of the documents slc.c-d at tho papal nunciature in Paris IKc. 11. Tho holy see declares that it declines any responsibility for I he publication, leaving It to the persons who iv.ay think; themselves injured by tho publication of the documents to use the menus which they judge best to rrotect their rights. It must be borne In mind, however, that no inventory wa niado at tho tlmo of the seizure by th Fiencli government." Deny There Is a Plot. The news has created n bad impression even outside Catholic circies. well known prelate declares that not a word will be found In any of tho documents that can bo Interpreted as liostile to a republican form of government. This, he added, constituted evident proof that the church ban not been conspiring against the French government and that the report of a plot is groundlessr The Vatican believes that tho r?ason for the publication of these documents is an effort to alienate n portion ot tho French clergy from the holy see because certain of them contain references to some of the French Mshops, and show not only criticism of xhAt attitude and work, but that the Vatican did not hold them In hish esteem. Protests From America.. The Observatore Romano continues to publish protests against the action of the French government.
