"Last year, after having my little girl d
treated by a very prominent physician for e
an obstinate case of eczema, 1 resorted to ^
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well j.
pleased with the almost instantaneous re- '
lief afforded that we discarded the physician's
prescription and relied entirely on ?
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and "
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
wer? covered with uniung sores, in aoout o
six weeks we bad her completely well, and p
there has been no recurrence of thj 5
trouble. t
"In July of this year a little boy in our
family poisoned his hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his
bands and arms were a mass of torturing 1
sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies,
washing his hands and arras with
the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them v
with the Cuticura Ointment, and then n
gave him the Cuticura Resolvent, in 0
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. So we have lets of cause for
feoling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies.
We find that the Cuticura Remedies are c
a valuable household standby, living as we
do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie 0

Anecdotes of President Lincoln.
At a dinner on the last anniversary
if President Lincoln's birthday, Gen>ral
0. 0. Howard related the followng:
One day Mr. Lincoln saw Senaor
Fessenden coming toward his ofice
room. Mr. Fessenden had revived
the promise of some appointnent
in Maine for one of his consrti;uents.
The case had been overooked.
As soon as Mr. Lincoln
:aught sight of the Senator he saw
hat he was angry, and as he apjroached
his door he called out:
'Say, Fessenden, aren't you an Episopalian?"
Mr. Fessendeu, taken
iback by the question, answered:
'Yes, I belong to that persuasion."
Jr. Lincoln then said: "I thought so;
1_
ou swear so muca n&e oenam.
ieward is an Episcopalian. But you
iught to hear Stanton swear. He can
eat you both. He is a Presbyteran."
By this time Fessenden was in
learty good humor, and the Presiient,
sending for the papers, settled
he case to the Senator's satlsfacion.
General Wilson, at the s^ime diner,
told of Lincoln's comment on a
ispatch stating that a brigadier-genral
and several hundred mules had
een captured by the Confederates,
[e quoted Lincoln as saying: "I don't
are so much for the brigadier-genral.
I can make brigadier-generals,
ut mules cost money."

Washington. D. C.?Tf anv Congress
in the history of the Government
ever had a more picturesque
wind-up that the Fifty-ninth, it is
not remerabeved by the legislative
veterans, or by the oldest inhabitants
of Washington. There always
have been happy speeches and songs,
and other things, which have come
to be taken as a matter of course,
but on this occasion, .lust as the
members of the House rose in their
places to sing, under the leadership
of Renresentative Watson, of Indiana,
the Republican whip, "My Country,
'Tis of'Thee," every man pulled
a good-sized American flag from under
his desk, unfurled it, and waved
it over his head. And as very few
of the 3SG Representatives in Congress
were absent, the result was
picturesque and beautiful.
As a result of strenuous work,
business was in pretty good shape.
Consequently there was plenty of
time for the usual formalities and
unusual informalities of the closing
hours of the session and of the Congress.
In the lobby of the House
there was on view a massive mahogany
chest containing an elaborate
silver table service of over 300
pieces, the parting gift of the members
of the House in the Fifty-ninth
Congress to "The Sage of Athens,
the Ohio political wheelhorse,"* General
Grosvenor.
The Senate, in the closing hours
of the Fifty-ninth Congress, was the
centre of interest for hundreds of
persons, who filled every available
inch of space in the galleries and
overflowed all the corridors. The
attendance of Senators on the floor
represented about two-thirds the
membership of the upper House.
President Roosevelt's arrival at the
Senate wing was indicated when the
sergeant-at-arms summoned the VicePresident
from the rostrum,"as the
hands of the clock touched eleven.
At the same time, the President's
daughter, Mrs. Longworth, came into
the President's pew in the reserved
gallery.
Many Representatives came over
from the House to look after pet
measures. They, too, sought Mr.
Spooner, to tell him how sorrow they
were that he is to quit public life.
The occasion was not without its pathetic
features. For example, Senator
Berry, the one-legged Confederate
who, for twenty years, has represented
Arkansas, was kept busy telling
his associates "Goodby." He
yields to Jeff Davis. Others who
were enjoying their last hours of
legislative experience were Mr. Millard,
the Omaha banker; Mr. Dryden,
of New Jersey; Mr. Allee, of Delaware,
and Mr. Mulkey, the Oregon
bachelor who enjoyed the novel distinction
of a month's service.
On the Democratic side the outgoing
Senators, besides Mr. Berry, of
Arkansas, were Mr. Dubois, "of
Idaho; Mr. Patterson, the Denver editor,
who gives way to Mr. Guggenheim,
of the smelter trust, and Mr.
Carmack, from Tennessee, who
yields his seat to Fiddling Bob Taylor.
At 12.05 o'clock the committee
appointed to wait on the President
reported that the President had no
further communications to make to
the Senate. Then Mr. Blackburn,
the Democratic leader, made a little
speech complimentary to Vice-President
Fairbanks and offered a resolution
thankfng the Vice-President for
the impartial and fair manner in
which he had presided over the upper
house. Senator Frye, president
pro tem., took the chair and declared
the resolution carried unanimously.
A minute after he did so the1 tall
form of Mr. Fairbanks ascended the
rostrum. In measured terms he delivered
a brief speech and then de
ciarea tne senate aajournea.
In the upper house Senator Allison
and in the lower Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, as chairmen
of the respective committees on appropriations,
made financial announcements
concerning the final
session. It wsj shown that, instead
of facing a deficit in the Treasury at
the close of the fiscal year of 1908,
as once seemed imminent, there
would be a surplus of $20,000,000
at that time. The total appropriations
at the present session of Congress
aggregated apparently $919,948,679.63.

Enemies Rack of Suit, Eolief of th
Founder of Christian ScienceChurch
Funds $12,000,000.
I
concord, N. I-I.?Christian Sclen
tlsts were startled by a statemen
coming from personal counsel fo
Mrs. Mary Eaker G. Eddy in whicl
it was declared that the suit insti
tuted against the managers of he
property by her son, George W. Glc
ver, and other relatives is an act o
persecution.
Tha imprpssion was also give
that Glover is insnired in the nrc
ceedings by enemies of Christia
Science, who have a large amount o
wealth behind them.
Another surprising declaratio
was that just before the suit wa
filed by Rev. Irving C. Tnmlinson.
member of t'he Board of T.ectureshi
of the Christian Science Church, wa
sent to find Glover, and that he car
ried with him a sum estimated at be
tween $100,000 and $250,000, whic'
was to have been given to Glove
provided he agreed to drop his pro
ceedings. Before he was found wori
that the suit, had been filed was re
ceived and the offer was withdrawn,
' Here is the statement in behalf o
[ Mrs. Eddv. which was given out b;
' Frank S. Slreeter. her attorney:
| "Early Saturday morning I sen
; to Mrs. Eddy a cony of the bill ii
| equity as published, but. not ye
' served upon any of the defendant
; so far as I am Informed. I hav
: since had a long nersonal conference
; with her, at which this proceedin;
; and matters connected therewitl
were fully discussed. In commoi
1 with her friends, she believes tha
the initiative in those proceeding
was not taken by her son or othe
relatives, but by others, who, in i
markedly unusual manner and b;
unique methods, are undertaking
under the guise of court proceedings
to continue the persecution begui
' some time ago.
"From my conference with her a
this time and on other recent occa
, sions, I am able to speak definitel:
and positively. Her clearness o
mind and resolution of purpose havi
been in no respect impaired by he
| advanced years. Her capacity t<
1 think clearly and to deal accuratel;
and justly with important busines
affairs has never been more perfect
ly demonstrated than in her confer
ences and acts within the last twi
weeks and in numerous business let
ters in her own handwriting which
have received from her during tha
time.
"The amount of Mrs. Eddy's prop
erty has been grossly multiplied b;
rumor and unfounded reports. Sh<
is not possessed of large wealth, a:
the term is used. Mrs. Eddy receive
no income from the church nor fron
the publication society connecte(
with the church. Her sole incom<
for many years has been from th<
copyrights on her own books, ant
the amount from this source ha;
been grossly overestimated.
"Mrs. Eddy's business affairs hav<
been managed by herself with th<
aid of Mr. Frye, her devoted and loya
servant, and under the oversight anc
personal audit of another gentleman
whose name has not been mentioned
but who stands for all that is honor
able and of good repute in financia
circles in Concord.
"Accurate accounts of all her prop
erty and investments as well as of hei
annual income and expenditures hav<
been carefully kept and frequentlj
audited."
Details in regard to the $250,00(
offer show that it was intended thai
this sum should be invested as a trusl
fund, the income to be paid to Mr
Glover during his life, and after his
decease in equal 3hares to his foui
children?three sons and one daugh
ter. In consideration of this gifl
Glover and his heirs were asked tc
agree to three stipulations:
First, That they would make nc
further demands upon Mrs. Eddy of
any kind;
Second, that they would make nc
objection to the probate of any will
Mrs. Eddy might leave;
.Third, that they would take nc
steps to test the legality of any gift,
deed or conveyance Mrs. Eddy might
make or might have made during her
life.
Boston.?Alfred Farlow, the recognized
spokesman of the Christian
Science Church, said that Stephen A.
Chase, of Fall River, treasurer of the
Christian Science Church, unbonded,
has custody of between $12,000,000
and $13,000,000 church funds.
When questioned concerning Mrs.
Eddy's wealth various leaders ia the
Christian Science Church gave out estimates.
Alfred Farlow said her estate
was about $150,000. Editor Mc
Leman, of the Christian Science
Monthly, said that $1,000,000 was a
fair estimate of Mrs. Eddy's property.
Fred N. Ladd, treasurer of the Loan
and Trust Savings Bank, of Concord,
and Mrs. Eddy's personal auditor, asserted
that the famous founder had
less than $300,000.

hocking Murderous Frenzy of
Thomas Baldwin, of Coifax.
ne of the Old Man's Victims Was a
Fourteen-Year-Old Niece Whom
He Had Mistreated.
Bloomiugton, 111. ? Enraged b>
rand Jury proceedings to punish
im for mistreating his fourteenear-old
niece, Thomas Baldwin, a
ealthy farmer, siity-eight years old,
jcently made a widower, began a
impaiga of vengeance, and when he
ancluded four persons had been mur-j,
ered, including the little girl whom"
e bad so outrageously wronged. 1
The child, Cora Eiseman. was his
ist victim and his murder of her was
lost cruel. She had just seen her
lother shot to death and was strivig
to escape by crawling through a
lorny hedge when Baldwin ran up
ad shot her to death.
Baldwin resides near Colfax and
; one of the best known men in the
Dunty. He was one of the leading
lerchants of the town until he rered
to live on his farm. His large
iterests in various enterprises made
im. of importance commercially, and
e was one of the most conspicuous
lurch members in the place.
Last October his wife died and he
;emed to mourn her deeply. His llte
niece. Cora Eiseman, lived with
er mother and sister about three
liles northeast of Arrowsmith, ten
liles from Baldwin's home. He went
lere a week after his wife's death
ad persuaded Mrs. Simeon Eissman
) let Cora live with him, saying he
ould take the best of care of hrr
nd provide liberally for her in his
ill. Soon after the girl became an
imate of his home he mistreated her
a a lonely country road between Colix
and Arrowsmith. The girl told 1
er mother, and Mrs. Eiseman, being
yerse to the notoriety which would
ttend prosecution, refrained from
taking formal complaint. Baldwin
t the meantime gave her $600 in setement.
Baldwin then supposed the matter -,
ad been finally disposed of, hut the
ews of his offense was carried to
tate's Attorney W. R. Bach, and he \
ropmtly submitted the case to tbe'
rand Jury and Baldwin was indicted.
On being arrested Baldwin vowed
angeance upon everybody connected
ith the proceedings to punish him.
evertheless he was released on
1000 bond.
During the morning Baldwin took
revolver, a supply of cartridges and
quart bottle-of whisky and drove to
xrowsmith. He first went to the
ome of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kenedy,
friends of the Eisemana, whom
e suspected of giving the facts to
le State's Attorney, and shot them
oth dead.
Then he re-entered his buggy and
rove to the Eiseman home. Mrs.
iseman saw him coming and, fearig
him, called Cora and the other
tiildren into the house and locked
le door. Presently, however, she
pened the door and tried to mollify
aldwin, but his answer was to fire
vo bullets into her breast, killing
er instantly. 1
Cora and the other children started

Baldwin then hunted up a deputy

Shut Oif When Oh? Volunteers Testimony
of Hereditary InfluencesWins
Sympathy of Court.
New York City.?Ready.to lay bare h
the innermost secrets of her own life
if by that sacrifice she could save the -
life of her son, the black-clad mother
of Harry K. Thaw stepped into the .
sweep of the public searchlight in the ,
criminal branch of the Supreme v
Court, where he is on trial for the .*
killing of Stanford White.
As by a touch of magic, ther air 6t
Tenderloin degradation that had
filled the court-room seemed to van
isii. in its place there appeared an
atmosphere of refinement that came
as a welcome relief to the tinseled artificiality.
Mrs. Thaw Is a motherly looking ,
woman of perhaps sixty. Her hair is
silvery and was brushed back from a
prominent forehead. Shp was alt in
black ? gloves, gown and hat. A' '
black veil was thrown over her hat
almost touching her shoulders. The
furs which she wore at heT throat
were removed soon, as the rbom was ,
close :md warm. ?
All the.testimony that will be of- ,
fered in behalf of Thaw sa,ve the
opinion of two experts as to his san-' L
ity on the night he killed White went ?
to the jury with the story of Mrs. ' [
Thaw. Her examination was brief i
and her cross-examination brieferj ]
The period. covered was from the *j
time Thaw returned from Europe in
the late fall of 1903 to a short time
after his marriage to Evelyn Nesbit .
on April 4, 1905. The mother told
how Thaw would remain up aH night,
unable to sIapd. unmrtlmos nnhhlrir.
and when she asked him why he was
thus affected he told her it was be- V
cause a beautiful girl he knew had
been ruined by a scoundrel. Sometimes,
she said, he would leave tie.
dining table and she would find him
sitting in another room crying;. By
degrees Thaw told her Evelyn Nesbit's
story. ' . 1
In March of 1905, while she was
staying in the South, her son sent foe
her to come to New York to meqf ,
Evelyn Nesbit, and then asked her .
permission to marry. "I consented;
making only one stipulation," the
witness said,, "and that was that" the . Vgirl's
past in New York ^should be ? '
closed book."
Although both Mr. Delmas and
Mr. Jerome treated Mrs. Thaw with ;
the greatest consideration and gen- >
tleness, she broke down once or twice
and wept silently. She is evidently, 'in
a woman of much firmness of charac-'
ter, as shown by the strong lines at
her features, and she - quickly regained
her composure.- Her son .
watched her closely xnbst of the time. _
but when he saw her weeping he, too,
buried his face in- his hands and wept.
i
u was during mrj. rnaw g examination
that the possibility of the appointment
of a commission In lunacy
came up. Mr. Delmas had asked j
Mrs. Thaw when she first learned
Evelyn Nesblt's identity. An objection
by the District Attorney started:
a discussion, during which he said'
that the expert for the defense had!
testified that Thaw was insane ln: ,
1903, in 1905 and in 1906, and thej \
presumption carried that ha was in-; \,
sane all that time. "If that is so,!' t
why does it not carry right down to, '
the present moment, so that under
the statute it becomes Your Honor's
duty to suspend this trial?" Mr.:
Jerome asked. : '
"That matter is not before me
now," Justice Fitzgerald replied.' V .;,
