XVSTIN. Texas. October 3D. The demo-
cratic faithful of Austin are looking forward
with no little interest to the coming of
Colonel Thomas M Campbell tomorrow.
There are probably more applicants for ap-
pointment Vj "fEce In Austin than any other
town in the State. This Is due to the fact
that there are men living here vrho held
positions under former administrations and
would like to get hold of the public teat
again. Most of the present appointive offi-
cials of the state are also applicants for
reappointment. If Colonel Campbell con-
sents lu listen to the supplications of the
Austin epihiantj and the'r friends during
his visit i.'s time be fully occupied.

a tor Joseph W. Bailey arrived In the city
today and wis given a cordial welcome by
his neUrhbors. Tomorrow he will deliver an
address at the Cooke county fair. Senator
Bailey expressed himself as being; highly
gratified with the result of bis campaign.
Senator Bailey received a latter from a
friend enclosing a copy of a letter being-
sent out by Messrs. Bowser Crane and
Cockrell of Dallas soliciting names to be
signed to sn "address" concerning the sen-
ator. The address Is a rehash of the mis-
representations which Senator dalley has
been answering during the last few weeks.
It wtli be noticed that the campaigners
request that the names be telegraphed to
them. Presumably this letter has gone to
hundreds of postof flees in Texas and at
the rate of at least ten names each the
telegraph lolls will amount to considerable.
It will be recalled in this connection that
the "Good Government club" of Houston In
Its original announcement declared that the
was pleruy of money for carrying on the
campaign against Mr. Baliey. It is current
political gossip In the East that William R.
Hearst has said that he would spend a mil-
lion dollars to destroy Bailey. The letter
of the Dallas campaigners follows:
Dallas Texas uctooer i.. ixa. uear

We are handing you herewith copy
of address. Kindly have same signed by
not less than ten good democrats whose
party records are entirely consistent then
wire us the names so that we may imme-
diately attach them to copy of address
here and simultaneously give address out
to all the dally pspers. That means of
coarse that we suggest that you give
nothing out as if one paper gets It before

MBS. EDDY STILL STBONG.
Leader of Christian Science Faith
Shows Little Effect of Age.
tAsfCtcled Prtu Rtptrl
CONCORD N. H. October 30. A repre-
sentative of the Associated Press who In-
terviewed Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy head
of the Chrtetlsn Science church ten years
ago. went to Pleasant View. Although Mrs.
Eddy shows her advanced age In some re-
spects her voice today was near aad strong
and she gave no evidence of weakness not
to be eiDected of a woman In her eighty-
sixth year.
The interview which was granted ta half a
score of newspaper representative who had
Fathered in this city after the publication
of sensational stories In connection with
Mrs. Eddy's health was arranged aarly In
the day by H. C. Wilson head of tha Chris-
tian Science publishing committee. In ad-
dition there were present Herman Hind first
reader of the local Christian Science church;
Edward M. Pearson secretary of state of
New Hampshire; Mr. Wilson and C A. Frye
Mrs. Eddy's secretary. When the newspaper
representatives had been seated In Mrs.
Eddy's parlor Mr. Frye summoned Mrs.
Eddy. She walked to the doorway and stood
unassisted before her Interviewers. She did
not advance beyond the threshhold of the
door and when It was seen that she would
not enter the room for a prolonged Interview
a woman reporter was delegated to talk to
her.
Mrs. Eddy appeared to be more anxious to
demonstrate that she was In good physical
condition than to answer questions. Just
tfiree questions had been asked by the in-
terviewer when Mrs. Eddy spoke a word to
her secretary and abruptly started for her
carriage to take her customary afternoon
drive. The Interviewers were left In the
fiarlor with numberless questions on their
Ipe hot without an opportunity to ask
them.
"Are yon la perfect physical health. Mrs.
EddyT" was the first question asked after
Mrs. Bddy had made her appearance.
"I am was the brief reply given with
distinct enunciation.
"Have you any other physician thaq
God?"
"No Indeed" answered Mrs. Eddy with
emphasis and then she said slowly snd
solemnly "The everlasting arms are around
and above me which Is enouarh."
"Do you take a dally drive f
1 do" replied Mrs. Eddy.
It ws at this point In the Interview Indi-
cated that the Interview was ended for ahs
turned without a word and walked to the
port eochere where her carriage waa watt-
ing to convey her on her usual drive about
the city. She was escorted to the carriage
by Mr. Strang and Mr. Frye. As Mr. Strang
assisted Mrs. Eddy In the hack Mr. Frye
who wore a footman's uniform mounted the
driver's seat alongside of the coachman and
Mrs. Eddy was driven away.
