Mrs MARY EDDY DEADI Founder of the Christian Science Movement. WOMAN'S STRANGE LIFE j NEW YORK, Monday. Mrs. Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science Church, died on Sunday at her resi- dence near Boston. After death had taken place a doctor was call-ed in. and certified pneumonia as the. cause. It is announced that the control of the Christian Science Church is vested in trustees. The fortune left by deceased is estimated at two million dollars. Renter. No details have been received regarding her death, and it is not known who wil" be her successor as the supreme head of the Christian Science organisation. Several claimants may come forward, and there is a possibility of an insurrection which will destroy the unity of tho church. It is understood that JTr6. Eddy's managers settled the question of her successor some time ago, but no one knows yet how the Christian Scientists in America and else- where will accept the new regime. REMARKABLE PERSONALITY. I The death of Mrs. Mary baker fcddy, at tfce age of 89, removes one of the most remarkable personalties of the present day. .N 0 other woman has ever wielded such great or widespread influence as this frail old lady, who hae been venerated and ever worshipped by thousands of believers in Christian Science, which she founded 35 years ago. For more than half a century she was poor, struggling, and unknown. The world did not hear of Christian Science until 1875, when Mrs. Eddy, then well past middle age, pub- published her book, 'Science and Health," and organised the first congregation of believers." To-day Christian Science is a powerful force in America, where many im- posing churches have been built by Mrs. Eddy's disciples, and where thousands of healers practise her precepts. As a child Mrs. Eddy was unusual and neurotic. She was easily depressed and ex- cited, and her parents, who lived on a farm in one of the New England States, had to remove her from school. She was morbidly devout, prayed seven times daily, and read her Bible with absorbed interest. Mrs. Eddy was married three times. She became the wife of George Glover in 1843, and he died shortly after the marriage. Ten years later she married a dentist named Patterson, but this marria-ge proved a mis- take, and in 1873 Mrs. Eddy secured a divorce. She married Mr. Eddy, a sewing machine agent, fn 1877. He died in 1882. "MESMERIC POISON." I Mrs. Eddy made the curious statement I that her third husband was killed by I "meemeric poison engendered by the work- ing of hatred." After his death she devoted all her time to spreading the doctrine of I Christian Science. She was a woman of strong, ma-sterful personality. She showed keen business capacity in developing the financial side of the new "science" and unfailing courage in dealing with the internad dissentions and revolts which frequently arose among her disciples. "Science and Health" was written in a little cottage in Boston, and Mrs. Eddy believed, as do many of her followers, that she was directly inspired; in her famous Boston church this little cottage is immor- talised in stained glass. After making L50,000 out of the first sales of "Science and Health," Mrs. Eddy purchased a large estate near Concord, 1 Massachusetts, and built a palatial resi- dence. Here she received thousands of visitors in a kind of semi-regal state. She sat in a chair which was placed on a dais in one of the drawing rooms. Until a few years ago Mrs. Eddy personally supervised the work of the Christian Science movement, and kept a large staff of secre- taries busy answering letters which poured into Concord from all parts of the world. A great sensation was caused three years ago by the declaration, made by some of her followers, that Mrs. Eddy was either dead or a "helpless puppet" in the hands of her managers, who had helped her to make Christian Science a paying business. Eventually a number of newspaper corre- spondents were permitted to have a brief interview with Mrs. Eddy, which merely emphasised the fact that her physical and mental powers were rapidly failing. Since that time she has been practically helpless, and shut off from the world. (The announcement of the death is given on Page 4.)

POSED AS A BARONET'S I SON. I VALET CHARGED WITH I DARING FRAUDS. Numerous charges of obtaining goods by fraud and false pretences were preferred against Edgar Williams, alias Vincent Arnold, a well-dressed young valet from Bognor, brought up on remand at West- minster on Saturday. He had posed as the son of a baronet, and telephoned orders from the Savoy Hotel, where he was stay- ing when arrested. On different occasions early last month Williams called at Harrod's, and by repre- sentations that he came from well-known customers he endeavoured to obtain goods. He was next heard of at the Savoy Hotel from which he telephoned, representing i himself as Mr. Robert Loder, the son of Sir Edmund Loder. Suspicion being aroused as to the genuine- ness of the orders, the articles were des- patched under the supervision of Mr. Clarke, the chief of the Investigation Department at Harrod's. Finally, when challenged by Detective- inspector Draper and Mr. Clarke, prisoner admitted that he was a valet, and that he had attempted other frauds. Mr. William Hind, assIstant In the jewellery department of Messrs. John Barker and Co. (Limited), said that Williams called at their establishment at Kensington, and, implying that he was a member of Lady Harland's household, ordered a wristlet watch. He stated that her ladyship wanted it at once as a present for a maid who was leaving, ¡ and he would take it wÜh lm. As he had parcels and bills from other departments, he was allowed to take away the watch selected. He gave the name of V. Desmond." Lady Harland was well known by the firm, and it was believed that Williams came from her. Detective-inspector Draper explained that Williams's system had been to try and get an article of small value in the first instance, so that the credit bill might be shown at another department, and thus aid him to deceive for a larger amount. When arrested Williams admitted all the charges, and said that he should not trouble the ladies whose names he had improperly used. Williams was committed to the sessions.

BIG FORTUNE UOtb I The late Mr. Henry Slirigsby Peirse Duncombe, of South Kensington and Winthorpe Hall, Newark, left estate of the gr?s value of ?488. of which net per- sonalty has been sworn at £ 277,tie. Mr. Peirse Duncombe died intestate, and a bachelor. His father, Mr. George Thomas Peirse Duncombe, survived him, but has since died, without having taken upon him- self letters of administration of his son s estate. Accordingly letters of administration of the property have now been granted to one of the executors of the father s will, who has had to furnish a bond in a sum of £ 57,000 that he will duly administer the estate in accordance with the law. The late Mr. Melton Prior left X2,569 gross.

TRAMPS AT THE RITZ. I At the inquest at Westminster (London) on an unknown man who died suddenly in the colonnade of the Ritz Hotel, a policeman said that the Ritz Arches were a favourite retreat for people who had no fixed abode. During the early hours of the morning the window sills were often used aa seats. The Coroner; I don't suppoee it is considered to be built for that purpoae.

MANY CASUALTIES ACCIDENT TO L. & N.W. TRAIN A serious accident is reported to a London and North-Western train neax Willesden. There are many casualties. A later message says that four persons have been taken out injured, but there is no likelihood of anyone having been killed. Doctors are on the scene. It appears that at Willesden Junction a train from Watford ran into the rear of another train from the same town.

"Impertinent Letters ———— -0 ———— GUARDIANS AND BARRY I.L.P. PARTY The Barry Independent Labour party wrote to the Cardiff Guardians on Saturday asking that the Barry Guardians should be allowed to consider local applications for relief, as they considered that the present system did not permit fair dealing with the poor. Mr. G. Cole moved that the letter be referred to the Barry Relief Committee. The Chairman (Mr. O. H. Jones) characterised the letter as one of the coolest requests he had ever come across. (Hear, hear.) It was part of a movement carried on lately to attempt to force the hands of the board, and to make Barry independent of the rest of the board. Relief was administered at Barry exactly as it was in the whole of the union. (Hear, hear.) Letters had been sent charging them with inhumanity, and he considered them most impertinent and most untrue. (Hear, hear.) It would be an innovation that he would resist, as it was illegal and deprecated by the Local Government Board. Alderman F. J. Beavan and Canon Buckley agreed with the chairman. ACTION 01 MEDICAL OFFICER CRITICISED. Dr. W. C. Milward, medical officer, wrote asking if the demands of the guar- dians for a better surgery for the poor represented their irreducible require- ments. The committee appointed to consider the matter had asked that a better building should be insisted upon, with a wooden floor, and the ceiling at least 10ft. from the floor. The board approved of this. and then Dr. Milward wrote to the Local Government Board, who informed him that he must meet the reasonable requirements of the board. Mr. J. J. Ames said Dr. I Milward's action had been inconvenient to the board, and he moved that they adhere to their request for a better building. Mr. Alfred Good, in seconding, said Dr. Milward I had attempted to thwart the board. Mr. Ames's proposition was adopted. USE OF UNEMPLOYED LABOUR. The guardians received a request from the distress committee to use unemployed labour upon work to be carried out this winter. Tha Chair- man (Mr. O. H. Jones): If you are going to build by unemployed labour you are going to do the wrong thing. There is no hurry. Let it go to committee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alfred Good appealed to the humanity of the board to consider the widows and the chil dren, and to acquire land for relief works. The Chairman said they could proceed rs suggested by Mr. Good under old Acts of Par- liament, with the consent of the Local Government Board, and even then it would be test labour, and not regularly paid. Notice of motion would also be necessary. On the proposition of Mr. J. J. Ames, it was decided to refer the matter to the building committee. REFORM IN POOR-LAW MANAGEMENT. I Alderman 1". oJ, I-larl ana ivirs. Seccombe, the delegates to the conference of the Poor- law Unions' Association, presented a full report of the proceedings at the London meetings on November 17 and 18. In moving a vote of thanks to Alderman Beavan end Mrs. Secoombe. Canon Buckley drew attention to the last paragraph in the report, to the effect that it was amusing to find that almost every speaker thought the way in which his union mang,ged their affairs was j by far the best. Possibly, they in the Car- diff Union held the same opinion, and that while there was room for improvement,.1 reform should oome from within. (Hear, | hear.) The motion was adopted, j PAUPERS AND OLD-AGr PENSIONS. The guardians discussed the desirability cf asking all old people over 70 to apply for old-age pensions, but it was retsulved to leave wi,? re?i(ilve(i W leave the matter to see what was done with i-egara to the suggestion that unions should be asked to make a re-payment to the Govern- ment to the amount saved in rates by grant- ing pensions to paupers. The Clerk (Mr. A. J. Harris) said there was the other side to the matter, as to whether pensioners relieved should be charged to the Exchequer. The Chairman (Mr. O. H. Jones) said his opinion was that they should not be asked for any relief with regard to pensions granted to paupers. (Hear, hear.)

NURSE'S EXPERIENCE I David Bowen, a farmer, of Cilynow, Llan- igon, and Thomas Lloyd, also a farmer, residing at Pennant, were charged at Tal- garth, the former with assaulting and using abusive language towards Miss Summers, the district nurse for Glasbury, and the latter with making use of insulting language towards the same prosecutrix. Nurse Summers overtook defendants, who were on horseback, when cycling to Three Cocks, and Bowen caught her round the arm with a crooked stick, at the same time using abusive language. Lloyd rode in front and prevented her re-mounting, in the meantime making use of objectionable epithets. Defendants were afterwards identified at ¡ Hay fair. Bowen for fined 92 10s., inclusive of costs, l for the assault, and JE2 10s. for insulting lan- guage. Lloyd had to pay £2 10s., including costs. Mr. F. P. Charles, Merthyr, was for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis H. Jones, Brecon, defended. A charge against Albert Williams, Pencwm, of aiding and abetting was withdrawn. I

GLOUCESTER MAJORITY I After the declaration of the poll at Gloucester on Saturday night Mr. Lynch, the Radical candidate, in a speech to his sup- porters said the election had not yet been decided. In the counting-room his agent and himself claimed with all the strength of lan- guage they could command a re-count, and the sheriff, acting within his discretion, refused. Before the sheriff gave an absolute decision he (Mr. Lynch) made a personal appeal to Mr. Terrell to consent to a re-count, and he refused. Therefore, the Radicals were thrown back upon their legal remedy, involv- ing considerable trouble and expense, and which must be most unsatisfactory, whereat the matter could have been settled in the counting-room. The Radicals of Gloucester had fought a gallant fight, and whether victory belonged to them or to their oppo- nents was not yet certain. Mr. Terrell, M.P., who was accorded an ovation by a crowd numbering several thousands, made no allusion in his speech to the re-count question.

WORKING MEN ON TRAMP I Chepstow Board of Guardians on Saturday resolved that vagrants passing through Glou- cestershire should be detained at the work- house over Sundays, and that there should be differential treatment of bona-fide work- ing men on tramp in their being given some- thing more than an allowance of bread for the mid-day meal. A grant of 6d. per weeli extra to each pauper household for coal during the winter months was agreed to. as also was an extra I allowance of Is. to adults and 6d. per child for outdoor paupers during Christmas week.

SPORTING LIBEL ACTION. I JURY RETURN VERDICT FOR THE I DEFENDANTS. n. In the King's Bencn ii/VIRIOn on "atnrnay the action brought by Mr. William Lotinga, sporting journalist, against Messrs. Edward Lloyd (Limited), proprietors of the "Daily Chronicle," for alleged libels contained in criticisms of the prospectus of a company formed to publish" Lotinga's Weekly" and the Throne and Country." concluded in a verdict for the defendants. Mr. Justice Darling in summing up said the jury might I ask themselves whether matter had been omitted from the prospectus in such a way as to render it misleading.

CARDIFF WIFE'S DEATH. I A painful case came on Saturday before the Cardiff city coroner, Mr. W. L. Yorath. It was an inquiry into the circumstances ot The d.?th of Florence Gertrude Green (24), w?e of LI. Gr?n. collier, of PenllmenBtreet, Deceased recently gave birth to a child, and had not since been well. She attended Carditt Infirmary, and died on Thursday. Dr. W. G. Williams had made a post-mortem, and attributed d?th to heart failure following ?cute peritonitis. The jury returned a ver- ??Jcordingly. and they, with the coroner. expressed sympathy with the hu.b.nd and relatives.

Spanish Crippen Crime ACCUSED MAN'S FULL CONFESSION Jose AyaJa* a lias Cagtella. the man arrested in connection with the Crippen crime at Alica.nte. Spain, has made full confession that he murdered his old master Mendez two years ago and buried his remains in the courtyard of the house. On Saturday AN-ala was conveyed in chains from the gaol at. Manovar. where he is serv- ing a sentence of hard labour. to Alicante, and placed upon his trial for murder. A large crowd of curious spectators assembled at the station, but their glimpse of the pri- soner was HIT brief, for the police soon hurried him to the court. Ayala. who is a common-place looking man, stated that his age is 35, Questioned as to the crime, he said that he murdered Mendez on December 19, 1908, killing him with a. hammer while he was milking a cow. He sa.id he had no accomplices, and the motive was to pcesees himself of Mendez's wealth. The date of the murder as given by Aya'a is doubted by the police, as a witness is pre- pared to swear that he saw Mendez alive on December 23. .The place of the murdered man's burial lia-s not been decided on, as being a man of advanced views one of his relatives does not want him buried in a Catholic cemetery.

Colliery Disaster FOUR MEN &THREE YOUTHS KILLED I A serious accident occurred this morning I at the Kemberton Pit of the Madeley Wood I Company's Colliery, near Shefnal, Shrop- shire, involving the death of four men and three youths.

Suicide of a Soldier I AFTER MURDERING HIS SWEETHEART The final stage in what i6 known as the Walthamstow love tragedy was reached on Saturday, when the coroner for West Esoex held an inquest respecting the death of Richard ilodge, aged Z2 years. ra private in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, who on Thursday, November 24. murdered his sweetheart, Maggie Walker, and afterwards cut his own throat, inflicting a wound from which he subsequently died a few days ago. Mrs. Hodge stated that the deceased, her son, told her that he had fallen out with his sweetheart, and was very much upset. On Thursday, November 24, he went out and came back about an hour and three-quarters atterwards. Witness, in a broken voice, con- tinued lie rushed past me up the stairs. He seemed mad. 1 ran up after him, and found him cutting his throat with a table-knife. 1 got it away from him. He picked up another. I struggled with him again, and got that knife away, too, but he had then cut his throat. He rushed downstairs, and I believe he went into the garden." The Coroner: Tell me about his father. Was he right in his head?—No. He was very queer at times, and his sister died in an asylum. The jury returned a verdict to the effet that "the deceased died from a self-inflicted wound in the throat, and that he was of unsound mind at the time he committed be deed."

POLLING-DAY SCENE. 4 HOME SECRETARY REFUSED 1 A HEARING. Of all the exciting incidents that marked the contests in the country on Saturday, the most remarkable occurred at Lincoln. There has never been anything in the history of the city to equal in any respect the pauda- icomum which heralded the appearance ot Mr. Winston Churchill )n the balcony of the Radical Club. His visit on polling day, when jassion3 run high, was greatly--i-esented by I a strong section of the opposition' party, I and a hugo crowd filled the large square i before the club. overflowing into the side streets. Free fights cemmenced directly Mr. Churchill appeared on the balcony, and when the foundry contingents arrived the crowd swayed in alarming fashion, and several casualties occurred. The police force was quite inadequate, and wisely attempted nothing beyond rescue work. Mr. Churchill had scarcely uttered a few words, which could only be, heard by those close to him, when Sir -Robert Filmer. the Unionist candidate— v.ho the previous night had tossed Sfr. Roberts, the Radical candidate, for the use of the Corn Exchange for the final meeting and won—appeared in the churchyard, which commanded a view of the scene. There was a tremendous rush, and many people climbed the churchyard fence. One individual struck Sir Roberi, wno returned the blow. A quantity of gravel was thrown in Sir Robert's face. The swaying of the crowd looked dangerous, and Mr. Churchill shDuted" Keep your places. Someone wili be killed." JUr. Churchill's voice, however, could not be heard, whereupon he shouted, "I will go down," and to the surprise of those with him he hurried from the club premises. pushed his way through the mob, anå reached Sir Robert f sIde. The Unionist candidate listened to him with arms folded Mr. Churchill then retired without complet- ing his speech, but it was a long time before the disorder subsided, and blood flowed freely. UNIONIST CANDIDATE EXPLAINS. In an interview on Saturday evening Sir Robert Filmer, describing the disturbance, said:—"I walked round to the meeting and got quite close to the Radical Club, when the Radicals made a rush and shouted, Out with him.' They pushed me back, but some of my supporters pushed me forward, and they played a sort of football with me. Then I climbed over the railings and was all right. Then I went up to the railings," continued Sir Robert, "and stood there. Some Radicals began to throw mud at me and threatened to pull me down. Some time afterwards Mr. Churchill came over from the club under the protection of policemen and wanted to speak to me. I refused. I was not going to speak to him, and I looked the other way. Then a policeman said, 'Mr. Churchill wishes to offer you his protection.' I said, 'I don't want his protection.' Then he went away. A superin- tendent of police came to me," Sir Robert went on, "and I told him I was perfectly willing to go if I had the Home Secretary's word that he would not speak. The superin- tendent came back about five minutes later and said the Home Secretary had gone away. Consequently, I went away. I simply went to the meeting as a protest against the Home Secretary coming down on my polling day, which practically meant he was trying to unduly influenoe the electorate. I had an interview with Mr. Roberts the previous day owing to a rumour that Mr. Lloyd George was coming down to address the electorate, and I told him I could not be responsible for any- thing which might happen, and that there might be a breach of the peace. The only message I received from Mr. Churchill was through the police, to the effect that the Home Secretary wished to offer his protec- tion. I received no invitation to speak from the club balcony."

PAY OR PERQUISITES 1 0 EARNINGS OF PURSER OF LOST SHIP WARATAH. The mysterious late 01 tne steamer Wara- tah was re-called by an action in the Court of Appeal on Saturday. Mrs. Harriett M. Skailee. the widow of the purser of theveMel, had claimed compensation for the low of her husband on behalf of her children and herself under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Judge Rentoul, in the City of London Court, granted her £300 compensation, but the owners and managing owners, the Blue Anchor Line and Messrs. W. Lund and ons. appealed against the decision on the ground that Skailes earned more than dE250 a year, and was thus not a workman under the Act. The Court of Appeal on Saturday upheld their application, and remitted the widow's action to the City of London Court to be re-heard. On behalf of Mrs. Skailes it was urged in the City Court that earnings was the word used in the Act. and that her husband earned lees than tZ50 a year. There was, it was contended, a distinction between earnings and remuneration." Skailes had XS a month pay while on board. He received 5 per cent, commission on sales at the bar, which brought him in about J370 a year. It was estimated that his board was worth about Zs. a day, and he received a bonus of EZ a month when his employers were pleased with him. The owners also supplied Skailes with bottles of whisky at 4s. each, which he sold to the passengers at 6d. a glass, Skailes thereby reaping a profit of about 38. 6d. on each bottle. The Master of the Rolls held that the countyurt judge was wrong in.exoluding tbefl a month bonus and the profits made by the purser, and in referring the case back to him said he must consider whether either or both items would bring the Dursftft rammentina abowe LZ50 year.

PRIME MINISTER AND REFERENDUM. 0 -—— NOTHING MORE THAN FORM OF LOCAL OPTION. Mr Asquith addressed an audience of 5,000 pergonf; at Newcastle-on-Tyne on Saturday. Ho said the Radicals ê-tood exactly where they did a year ago: there had been no I change in their policy or method. They stood for Free Tra-de and a free House of Commons. They believed now. as they did a year ago. that the people did not need to be protected against their own representatives. (Cheers and laughter.) He need not go back a. year to show how the Tories had shifted their ground, it was not a matter of months or years, but of days, and even hours. It was difficult for a man of slow moving intelligence like himself to keep pace with such a bewildering series of twists, gyrations, and somersa.ults. He would give one illustration. A mani- festo in favour of the referendum had heen issue by the Brewery Debenture-holders' Committee. (Laughter.) It was a striking evidence of the state of tOpsy-turvydom to which we had arrived, for the referendum was nothing more than a form of local option. The fact was the Tories had discovered at the eleventh hour that there were two issues on which it would not be safe to light this I election, and those two issues were the House of Lords and Tariff Reform. I "To the Tory policy of constant surprises and of crude and ill-considered expedients." [■ continued the Prime Minister, "we oppose the policy of the Government and of the Radical party. Our grievance is no longer in any quarter seriously denied. (Cheers.) Jt is not true to say that we set up Single Chamber government. We presume for the Second Chamber important and useful functions, but we limit its veto, and we secure for the House of Commons its true predominance. "Fair play, it is admitted, we do not under present conditions enjoy. Fair plav will be as far as ever from our grasp under the Tcry plan. Fair plav we are entitled to and we shall not reet until we secure it." (Loud cheers.)
