Sens tor Cummins of Iowa, the head and

many to smile and a few to snicker.
The sessions Monday will be brief. Com

These men agree that all interest cen-

The future of Investment, banking, spec
ulative and railroad prosperity, they de

disposition by tho United fttates supreme

application for authority to Increase

together with the decision as to tariff re

If there' ia not to be an extra session
of congress this spring, the financial
world will be emboldened to look for a
period of legislative Inaction until the fol
lowing spring, giving nearly a clear
twelve months of undisturbed tariff condi

be on that basis.

section of th country.
ketch of l.Ife.
Mrs- Mary Baker O. Eddy, the discoverer
of Christian Science, was born in Bow,
N H., July 18, IN21. Her parents were
Mark and Abigail Baker. Her father was
a man of some property and local distinc
tion. He was a friend of President Frank
lin Pierce and other well-known men of
his time. Mrs. Eddy wa related to Qen
eraf John McNeil, a hero of the battle of
Dundy's Dane. On her father1 stde she
was related to General Henry Knox of
revolutionary war fame. She was a first
cousin of Governor Hoke Smith of Oeorgla.
Mrs. Kddy's childhood years were spent
In Bow, a short distance from Concord
As a child and young woman she waa deli
cate and temperamental. A a young
woman she waa a confirmed Invalid until
th healing Incident which ushered her to
the threshold of Christian Science.
In addition to tha education received by
most young girls of her time Mrs. Kddy
had the advantage of being privately
tutored by her brother, Albert Baker, who
waa a graduate of Dartmouth, a member
of the New Hampshire legislature and
congressman-elect at the time of his death,
He Instructed hia sister Mary in the rudi
ments of Da tin, Greek and Hebrew, laying
the foundation for the broad scholarship
which was later evident in Mr. Kddy's
literary work.
In 1S43 Mrs. Kddy married George Wash
ington Glover and removed with him to
Charleston, S. C. A few months after their
marriage Major Glover was stricken with
yellow fevtr and died in Wilmington, N. C.
Mrs. Glover returned to the home of her
relatives in Tilton, N. H., where her son
was born. While residing In Tilton Mrs.
Eddy was active with her pen. She con
tributed political articles to New Hamp
shire papers and wrote occasionally for
magazines.
In 1SCJ, in the hope of regaining possee
sion of her son from whom she had been
obliged by circumstances to separate, Mrs.
Kddy married Dr. Daniel l'attereon, a
dentist of Franklin, N. H.
In her search for health Mrs. Eddy went
In lfJ to Portland. Me., to consult P. P.
Qiiimby, a mignetlo healer of some local
reputation. Mra. Kddy was' temporarily
benefitted, but not healed, by hta treatment
Later she removed to Lynn, Mui., where
she took up her residence with Dr. Pat
terson.
Accident Tsrslsg Point.
I'. was in lfctt that Mra. Kddy met with
the. accident which was the Immediate
. ause of r.er discovery of Christian Science.
She was living at that time at Swamp
svott. Jut outside of Lynn. Slie fell on the
Ice and waa Injured Internally,' ao severely
that the physician, who waa called upon,
gave mi hope of her recovery. Ignoring the
medicine which had been prescribed, Mrs.
Kddy, in her extremity, turned to her
lUhle and received auch Inspiration and
spiritual enlightenment from the account
of the healing of the men with the palsy
that ahe in" from her bed a well woman.
Following tlda remarkable tncidvot Mr.
Kddy spent three years la seeking an ex
planation of her healing. Phe hst always
teen a student of philosophy, waa ac
quainted somewhat with homeopathy, had
examined the claims of animal magnetism
and sj IriU.aUim and waa an earnest ttu lent
of the Bible.
After her dieeovery of the healing power

ytVrs Mrs Kddy taiiKht Christian Science
in Lynn. In PS! she chartered the Ma-
rhusrits Metaphysical coih irc In Mostcii. The
charter for the first Christian Science
rhurch was obtained In .Inns. 1V7!. and In
that yenr Mrs. Kddy whs called to become
the pastor of the church. She was ordslned
In 1KM. although shj had preached five
yems previously. Mrs. Kddy founded and
for a long time edited the Christian Science
Journal, a monthly maicsxlne. In the fall
of IsMi Mrs. Kddy removed from Boston
to Concord. N. 11., and In 1IT7 to Chestnut
Hill. 11 suhurh of Boston.
In UsTT much attention was attracted to
Mrs. Kddv through a suit brought for an
accounting of her property, which has
been variously estimated at from $:00.000 to
several millions of dollars. The suit waa
brought In the Menimac (N. II.) county
suwrlor court on March 1. by George W.
Glover of Lead, S. D., Mrs. Kddy's son, and
his duughter. Mary Daker Glover, nnd
other relatives of the Christian Science
loader, as "next friends." against Calvin A.
Frye, secretary of Mrs. Kddy: Lewis E.
Strang. aw1stant secretary: llarmtn S.

church In Concord; Hev. Irving C. Tomltn
son. Christian Science teacher and healer,

of the Christian Science publication com
mittee; Ora O. Knapp. director of the
mother church In Boston; Joseph Arm

of Mrs. Eddy; Stephen A. Chase of Fall
River, treasurer of the Mother church, and
Edward A. Klihhall of Chicago. Christian
Science teacher and lecturer, and former
holder of the copyright on Mrs. Eddy's
book.
The plaintiffs asked for an accounting of
Mrs. Eddy's property, to determine
whether she had been for some time past
and was at present competent to manage
her estate and whether a receiver should
be appointed to take charge of her finan
cial affairs for her benefit.
Property In Charge of Trusteed.
Before the case came to a hearing Mrs.
Eddy announced that she had placed all
her property In the charge of three trus
tees, Hon. Henry M. Baker of Bow, a for
mer congressman and a second cousin of
Mrs. Eddy; Joslah E. Fernald, head of a
Concord bank, and Archibald McLellan of
Boston, editor of the Christian Science
papers and magaxlne.
Hearings in the case Were held before
Judge Robert N. Chamberlln of the super
ior court. A motion of the trustee that
they be substituted for the "next friends"
as plaintiffs in the suit was denied, as
were also numerous other motions of coun
sel fur both sides, including one that an al
lowance from Mrs. Eddy's estate be
granted to counsel for the "next friends"
to pay the costs of the suit.
finally Judge Chamberlln granted a
motion of counsel for the "next friends"
that a master be appointed to hold hear
ings for the purpose of determining the
competency of Mrs. Eddy to manage her
business affairs. He appointed Judge
Edgar Aldrlch of Littleton, of the United
States district court, a master, and Dr.
George F. Jelly of Boston, the alienist.
and Attorney Hosea W. Parker of Clare
mont as co-master.
In the course of their hearing the 00-
masler, togethen with leading counsel for
both aides, paid a visit to Mra: Eddy at
her home in Pleasant View and asked her
numerous questions regarding her business
affair. Many letters and depositions were
Introduced to show that Mrs. Eddy was
mentally incompetent, but the greater part
of those were ruled out on objection by
counsel for the defense, aa relating to
timea too remote to have a direct bearing
on the case. The masters were ready to
proceed with the hearing on August 21,
when counsel for the "next friends" an
nounced that they had decided to withdraw
the suit.

- The largest henvler-than-slr flytnc craft
In the world a monoplane Is nearlng com
pletion at Genesee Valley park. Uocheeter.
and will make ita trial flights before
Christmas day.
it Is as different from the present type !

principles of the preceding craft. Just as court: Victor Seymour, deputy clerk; John
the Clermont' working principle is found
In the big Curvarder.
Inventors, manager nnd aviators w mo
have seen the machine John F. Cooley Is
constructing at lUx-hester say that It will
solve the one big prtblm of aviators
safety. The Cooley craft ia of dlnosaurlc outline
and proportion, snd carries the suggestion
still further in general appearance. it
weighs t.SDO pound, Is equipped with two
six-cylinder, ls horsepower Elbrldge en
gine, which will run Independently of
each other, and used together are capable
of driving the plane at a speed of 125 miles
an hour, carrying eight or ten passengers.
It I constructed of spruce wood, stayed
with piano wire. The soaring surface is of
Irish naiad aeronautic cloth, especially pre
pared for this purpose, and will consist of
1,648 square feet, modeled like a bird's
wings.
Four Sets of Wings.
There will be four sets of w tigs, each
independent of the others. The wings are
kept at right angles to the car and held
rigid in that position by 128 piano wires of
a tested strength of 2,000 pounds each.
The mechanism 1b entirely clored and
the engineer and aviators, as well as an
assistant, are housed In an enclosed cabin
with portholes covered with glass, similar
to those of a Ship.
Th craft combines all the features which
by aerial experts are considered vital to
correct aerial navigation, and is the first
serious effort In the line of actual Com
mercial utility. The craft Is equipped with
a complete electrical device for signalling
between the engineer and aviator, and
also for illumination. The pneumatic con
trol la operated by carbonated gas carried
in a tank and the lubricating system is
so arranged that the engineer does not
have to leave his. seat to oil any part or
tne mechanism.
Method of Controlling; Car.
One of the feature I the movable front
and rear spars, by which the plane is made
to take the air. The spars, which are at
tached to the axles, are arranged In such
a manner that they can be thrown up or
down, causing the plane and car to tilt up
or down.
"There would be but one setback to pre
vent the flight of our monoplane," said
Manager UolUenson today, and he hastened
eo explain:
"All th established laws of nature would
have to go back on- us. Our entire weight
will be less than two pounds to the square
foot of supporting " surface.. Machines
weighing five pound to the foot have
flown. Our motive power 1 also propor
tionately greater. -
"Nlr.ety-elght per cciU of the weight of
the monoplane la In. the car--a downward
weight below the wings . surface-end, the
wing' are at right angles to tha weight.
To illustrate my meaning more clearly, a
ide wind would not lilt our plane, but
would move the whole machine sideways.
We have proved this In tests of our models.
"We have started model upside down
and they would right themselves In the
air and settle down to earth as you have
seen thousands of pigeon do. The total
weight of our craft ia but twenty pounds
to th horse-power."
