7 the sun, Baltimore, ekida: mokjning, November is, Boston; S. U. Trent, Pittsburg; W. Holt ARCHBISHOP GROSS MIND OYER MATTER STATE'S CASE CLOSED CAUSES OP THE CITIL WAR AN INDIAN OFFICER phia; the second volume of the eeries on our great cities that the Macmillans are issuing by well known writers. The first was "New Orleans," by Grace King, and, as she caught the gayer French-Creole aspect of that Southern metropolis, so the contrast could not be more striking than in the transition to the Quaker City "not enamored of noise" whose "least noticeable characteristic Is enthusiasm" and whose "mental balance cannot lightly be disturbed" the inhabitants "attuned to the chill tranquility of their foster mother." The narrative Is In accordance with these facts most staid, eminently respectable, very clear, with a remarkable subduing of the author's sparkling style to the demands of a sober historic mass of details.

That she has broadened and humanized these very details adds much to hei credit and to the reader's pleasure. this promise affirms that the signs or works shall follow them that believe, giving unmistakable proof of the perpetuity through time of the promise. Therefore it can become the invaluable possession of true Christians today. "The restoration of primitive Christian healing re-establishes the religion of Jesus, and proves his promises to be perpetual. The disappearance of Christian healing from the early Church under the Emperor Constantine Is an established fact of history.

Its reappearance in Christendom through the discovery and founding of Christian Science is also an established fact. "Pertinently writes the Founder of Christian Science: 'God will heal the sick through man whenever man is governed by God. In confirmation of this let the words of one of the early Church Fathers be quoted: Irenaeus, A. D. 120-202, In writing of the works of the disciples of Jesus, says: 'For some do certainly and truly drive out devils so that those who have been cleansed from evil spirits frequently both believe (In Christ) and join themselves to the Church.

Others still, heal the sick by laying their hands upon them and they are made whole. Yea, moreover, as I have said, the dead even have been raised up and remained among us for many years. "The records of spiritual or divine healing without material means in the Old Testament, the countless instances in the New, especially In the work of Jesus, and the testimony of the early Church Fathers, as above cited, give sufficient confirmation of the claim put forth by Christian Science that the healing of the sick should go hand in hand with the reformation of the sinner. Mental Therapeutics. "Modern medicine ia represented by three great and evolutionary steps.

First, Allopathy; second. Homeopahty, through which drugs have been attenuated until virtually all medicinal qualities have been eliminated; third. Metaphysics, through which Mind enters as the sole curative Principle and the material or lower element of cure disappears entirely. Christian Science represents the world-wide reaction ia religious thought and in medical practice against the materialism which has to a large extent usurped the throne of spirituality and health. "Our country has upward of 70,0007000 inhabitants.

It is stated on good authority that nearly 1,000,000 people are adherents of Christian Science and about more are depending upon non-medical methods for their health. The States which represent the highest average of intelligence in the United States are also the strongholds of Christian Science. This would seem to show that it thrives amongst the thinking, educated and enlightened people as much as among the great mass of the intelligent common people. Many physicians, both Allopathic and Homeopathic, have been healed by Christian Science or have had patients considered Incurable healed through it, and because of these evidences today accept and practice Christian Science Mind healing. "Christian Science says to the hopeless sufferer pronounced incurable by the best medical knowledge of the day: 'Hope thou In Mental therapeutics begin where physics end.

That which is impossible with man is possible with God. Therefore, restoration is not only possible, but probable. Views Of Physicians. "Do Allopathic and Homeopathic physicians, surgeons and medical students admit that Christian Science heals organic diseases? Do these physicians believe that Christian Science heals where medicine cannot cure? Do physicians of standing and repute affirm that Christian Science practitioners have rights based upon actual achievement which the world at large Is bound to respect? Let their own words speak for themselves: "Prof. "William James, of Harvard University, though not a Christian Scientist, says, in speaking of Its healing: 'Their facta are patent and startling, and anything that Interferes with the multiplication of such facts and with our freest opportunity of observing and stating them will, I believe, be a public calamity.

Dr. A. A. Sulcer. who is now a Christian Scientist, in the course of a lecture delivered before the Riverside County Medical Society, Riverside, states: 'For myself I wish to say that I have found the study of ever-increasing interest, satisfaction and profit, and I have seen many proofs of the efficacy of Its principles proved In the treatment of diseases; thousands rejoice today in their freedom from maladies previously pronounced incurable by the most skillful physicians, and are living witnesses to the higher power.

William Norton, manager for Mr. A. D. Clenlens, on Gllmor lane, near Govanstown. When Mr.

Perkins went to Towson yesterday to procure a marriage license he took with him the written consent of his intended bride's father to the marriage, being under the impression that It was necessary to obtain the consent of the father when the bride was under twenty-one. It Is necessary for the groom to be twenty-one, but the bride need be but sixteen years old. The age of Mr. Perkins was given at twenty-one years last February, and that of the bride as nineteen years. The groom was a second lieutenant In the Third Virginia, United States Volunteers, which has been mustered out of service.

Scott Hujrlilett. The marriage of Laura Virginia Hugh-lett, daughter of James W. Hughlett, of 4020 Roland avenue, Baltimore, to Samuel Hugh Scott, of Mt.

The new schoolhouse erected on the old Frederick road, about two miles northwest of Catonsville, for the use of School 4, district 1, of which Mr. William H. Upman is teacher, is completed and ready for occupancy. It is a frame structure, with two rooms, and will accommodate about eighty pupils. The building cost about $1,600 and the lot $400.

The new structure was badly needed, as the old rented house, about a half mile distant, was unfit for occupancy as a school. Short Cabbage Crop. A well-known truck farmer in the twelfth district says that there is not enough cabbage raised by the farmers in his locality to supply their own families, and that the plants set out for spring cabbage have all been destroyed by the worms. He says that cabbages, however, are plentiful and cheap In the Baltimore market. They come from the West, and large, fine, white heads sell at wholesale for $1.50 per hundred, and for such cabbage the growers in Baltimore county usually get $5 to $6 per hundred.

Co used Ballots Burned. Mr. W. W. C.

Stewart, clerk to the board of election supervisors, yesterday burned the 21,900 unused or duplicate ballots printed for the recent election. These ballots were placed in the hands of the deputy sheriffs, in case more were needed than had been supplied the judges, but none of the packages were opened. The ballots were deposited in the large furnace in the basement of the courthouse, and soon went up in smoke. Miscellany.

Carol Norton Says Christian Science Shows It3 Triumph. -MONOTHEISM NOT DUALISM Scientific Christianity As An Established Fact Divine Healing Of Disease Without Drug Or Material Cleans Mental Therapeu tic Begin Where Physics End, With. Probable Restoration.

Mr. Caroi Norton, of New York, a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother Church of Christian Science, ia Boston, lectured last night at Music Hall on "Not Dualism, but Monotheism; Not Supernaturalisui, but Scientific Chris tianity." He was introduced by John Freeman Linscott, C. S. first reader of the Christian Science Church, of Wash ington, D. C.

At the close of the lecture an informal reception was given the lecturer In the assembly hall to enable the audience to become better acquainted with. him. Mr. Norton said in his ecture: "In presenting to your thoughtful con 'deration this evening the subject of 'Christian Science as aa applied Science I shall endeavor to review its practical ex cellence and vital worth, as I have observed the operation of the system during a period of eight years in its ministry and among its people. The systematic mastery of its spiritual and therapeutical philosophy should be made through the prayerlui study of the writings of its Dis t-ovrer and Founder, Mary Baker G.

Eddy. "Christian Science is in our midst to day an established fact, a demonstrable Science, a Christian philosophy, and the primary element in the metaphysical awakening of the era in which we live. It is the force back of the psychical bap tism through which consciousness is passing. Today the race needs new light on old truths; practicability where theory has ruled supreme; demonstration where speculation has dominated; health where disease and suffering have held unchallenged sway; scientific accuracy where Mind faith has been master of ceremonies. To this end let the Christian Science idea of God be briefly considered.

Tenches Pure Monotheism. 'God our Father, Christ Jesus, the divinely human revelation of our individual possibilities as men and women, and the scientific application of the laws of divine Mind, alias the Spirit of Truth, are the three essential elements in the superstructure of Christianity. God cannot be dogmatically defined. Christian Science teaches pure Monotheism, or the existence of One God. It, therefore, proclaims the truth that the ailness of God as divine Mind precludes the possibility of the acceptance of the idea of real matter.

It teaches that matter is no part of the di vine creation and has only suppositional existence as an externalization of the human mind. Christian Science denies the common theory that it is a real and secondary element upon which Mind acts. "The Westminster Confession of Faith defines God as follows: There la but one living and true God, who is Infinite In Being and Perfection, a most pure Spirit, Invisible without body, parts or passions. Immutable, Immense, Eternal, Incomprehensible, Almighty, most "Wise, most Holy, most free, most absolute. "The Athanasion Creed, probably written in the fourth century, states this same idea in the following words: 'The Father is made of none, neither created nor begotten.

And the Nicene Creed, principally drawn up by the Council of Nice In A. D. 325, thus affirms this same conception of the nature of the Creator In Its reference to God as the 'Father almighty, maker of Heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. Justin Martyr, about A. D.

114. tlms wrote of One God: 'There Is a Lord of the Lord Jesus, being his Father and God and the Cause of his existence. "Jesus, the Founder of the Christian religion, whose career was lived In greater unity with the divine nature than that of any other character that the world's history records, stated the Oneness of God most clearly in his words: 'God Is Spirit (Mind) and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit (Mind) and In Truth. Moses adds his testimony to this idf-a in the Sinaic utterance: 'Hear, Israel, the Lord thy God Is One God. "In thorough harmony with these statements, which can be truthfully to represent the religious unity of many centuries, is the fundamental statement of Christian Science, as presented by Mary Baker G.

Eddy in 1866 'All Causation Is Mind and every effect Is a mental phenomenon. 'There Is no life, truth. Intelligence or substance in matter; all Is Infinite Mind and its Infinite manifestation." "Mind Iteal. Matter Unreal." "Christian Science teaches that God is Good. Hence Good is Infinite and is the omnipotent reality or actuality of all Being.

Hence all that opposes the nature of Good la unreal, having suppositional or temporary existence. Evil Is real to material sense, but unreal to spiritual sense. Christian Science teaches that evil can be overcome because it is a falsity. Because of the vicious characteristics of evil it cannot be in any wise indulged, but should be at all times and under all conditions overcome through the realization of the divine actualities of Life. Hence the admonition of the Founder of Christianity: 'Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

"The practical metaphysics of Christian Science have nothing in common with the unprovable deductions and statements of Berkeley, Kant, Spinoza, Hume, and the group of metaphysicians and mystics preceding these teachers, as well aa those following in their train in later history, especially ia Germany. Through the presentation of the psychical truth that matter is but an externalization of the human Intelligence, Christian Science metaphysics resolves what we know as matter into its primary elements mortal mind. It then governs, directs and conquers the human or mortal mind through the operation of the divine Mind, and dissolves a cancer through the operation of the same process as that utilized in the destruction of a temperamental error "Sir J. F. W.

Herschel affirms that 'AH that has been predicated of atoms, their attractions and repulsions, according to the primary laws of their being, only becomes intelligible when we assume the presence of Says Professor Jame3 T. Bixby, Ph. We can mentally think away everything that Is an object of sensation. "Professor Huxley says: 'After all, what do we know of this terrible 'matter except as the name for the unknown hypothetical cause of states of our own consciousness. Inherited appetites, de praved minds and temperaments, bound by the chains of depression, gloom and chronic morbidity, are brought under the influence of divine Mind, through the operation of Christian Science, and light follows darkness, good takes the place of evil, peace supplants fear, righteousness destroys depravity, and health supersedes disease.

T-ise results prove the scientific Christian truth of the tenet. Christian Healing. "The heaiing of disease withont drugs or material means Is recorded In various parts of the Old Testament. The healing of all manner of t'isease through spiritual or mental power alone went hand in hand with mental regeneration In the work of Jesus and his disciple. If Jesus taught one truth with more prominence than another it was the spiritual fact of divine healing.

Jesus healed in a manner independent of and antagonistic to the drug systems and material methods of the era in which he lived. He taught his disciples and followers this method of healing, and according to the statements of the early Church Fathers, among whom may be mentioned Clement, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen aiid Lactantius, this healing continued ia the early Church until near the cloe of the third century. "The great commission of Jesus Christ given to his disciples, or students, and followers in all ages, reads as follows: 'Go preach, saying the kingdom of Heaven Is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; Freely ye have received freely The promise of Jesus to all-who should obey this commission in that age, and in all ges to come, reads as follows: 'And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they oast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and If they drink any deadly thing it shall not harm them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall It should be noticed that Impressive Funeral Services At The Cathedral, With A Requiem Mass Sunt; By Cardinal Gibbons. The funeral of Most Rev.

William Hick-ley Gross, Archbishop of Oregon, who died at St. Joseph's Hospital, North Caroline street, Monday morning, took place yes- terday. The remains, which had been lying in state at St. James' Church, Eager and Aisqulth streets, since Tuesday, were taken to the Cathedral, where the funeral service was held. In the crowded Cathe dral were a number of bishops and priests of prominence In the Catholic Church, as well as many prominent laymen.

The funeral cortege reached the Cathe dral shortly after 9 A. MJ The Redenip-torist Fathers of St. James' Church and visiting fathers of the order, to the mini ber of about a dozen, acted as pallbearers in St. James' 'Church, and after that as an escort to the Cathedral. From the door of St.

James' Church the following mem bers of the Knights of St. James acted as pallbearers: Adam Fleckenstein, Carl RIes, John Wannenberg, Henry Felger, Martin Amberg, John A. Ries, Matthew Tilghman and George Petri. The pallbearers who carried the remains from the hearse in front of the Cathedral to the catafalque In front of the sanctuary were the following members of the Young Catholics' Friend Society: James R. Wheeler, Frank P.

Murphy, John P. O'Farrell, John F. O'Mailly, E. J. Codd, John J.

Carroll, John Ryan, and George W. Donnelly. They were preceded by C. J. Dunn, president, James J.

Mc- Kewen, Mr. Groeninger and William Groeninger, members of the society, as honorary pallbearers, and the Redemptor 1st Fathers from St. James' Church and the visiting fathers of the order. The large oak casket was covered with royal purple cloth, and across the top lay the dead Archbishop's crosier. The Cathedral was draped, and the only lights were the six tall mass candles.

Mass Sung I'y The Cardinal. The solemn high mass of requiem Was sung by Cardinal Gibbons. His assistant was Very Rev. Ferdinand A. Litz, of St Alphonsus Church.

A. Cheneau and the other was directed by Mr. C. P. Kennedy.

The antiphons were chanted on one side of the altar and the responses oa the other. The office for the dead began at 9.30 o'clock, and required about an hour, after which Cardinal Gibbons and his attendants at the mass entered from the sacristy. During the mass, which took about an hour, "Dies Irae" was sung with solemnity. Father Neithart's Sermon. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev.

Benedict Neithart, of the Order of Redemptorists, a former fellow-student of the dead Archbishop. His text wai "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." He gave an historical account of Archbishop Gross life from his own recollections. He said: "We have assembled here this morning for the eternal repose of a soul most great and beloved. The funeral Is unusual and unique. Nine archbishops had labored within the precincts of the sanctuary where the pontifical mass of requiem has just been celebrated.

The final services over, seven of these took place within this temple. But today was the first time Baltimore has ever witnessed here In this Cathedral the funeral services over the archbishop of another and far-distant see. "I knew Archbishop Gross for forty-one years and for six years waa a fellow-student. He was plain and unvarnished. I first saw him in 1857, heard his first holy mass and heard his first confession in St.

Vincent's Church. I always found him holy, modest and innocent. He followed the Redemptorist rule to the letter, was alone for God and study. During the six yeara we were together I saw him many times a day, and whenever I looked upon him I saw a walking saint. He was the centre of our recreation, talking, laughing and joking, but I never heard a word from his lips against God and His church and against charity.

He never resented injury or insult or said anything against an enemy or foe. "Of the twenty priests ordained with him, but six survive. His first field of labor was at Annapolis, and his natural sympathies were with the South, hut he labored alike for all. He was a hard worker and never could do enough for God and church. Wherever he appeared the churches were crowded.

An enthusiastic Irishman once said Mr. Gross was a wonderful missionary and no one could excel him but God. He always tried to please God. laboring and toiling and suffering for immortal souls. He feared God more than any one.

"Six weeks ago he came to Washington a very sick man, worn Out by labor. His last service was at St. Charles College, his dear alma mater. He was a model youth, student, priest, bishop and archbishop. He was kind and merciful to all, even to his enemies.

Permit me, brethren. In his name to ask that God may grant him eternal peace and that we may meet him finally in Heaven." Last Absolutions Performed. At the close of the sermon last absolu tions were performed by Father Lltz, ex- provlnclal of the Baltimore province of the Order of Redemptorists; Rev. Daniel Mullane, ex-provincial of the St. Louis province; Archbishop J.

J. Ryan, Philadel phia; Bishop Chatard, Vincennes, and Bishop A. A. Curtis, Baltimore. The casket was then opened and the congregation given an opportunity to see the dead Archbishop.

For about half an hour people passed by the casket and looked upon the face of the dead prelate. The Redemptorist Fathers of St. James' Church and visiting fathers of the order carried the 'remains from the catafalque to the Cathedral door, and from there to the hearse the remains were carried by the bearers from the Young Catholics' Friend Society. The cortege proceeded to the cemetery of the Most Holy Redeemer, where Interment was made. Some Of The Priests Present.

Goodhue, of Boston, was given last night in the rooms of the Baltimore Architectural Club, 2 West Eager street. Mr. Goodhue is a member of the well-known architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue Ferguson, and most of the drawings shown were of churches and various buildings designed for the firm by Mr. Goodhue. He is noted for hia ability in the handling of the Gothic and has made much success in small churches, which smack of the old English churche's, with all their simplicity and softness.

The draughtsman's attention to the detail is wonderful, and hia technique is There are about thirty drawings exhibited and they form probably the best collection of pen-and-ink drawings ever shown in Baltimore. The exhibition will be continued this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock and on Monday and Tuesday from to 10 P. M. All iEvidenca In Against Dr. James P.

McShane, Former Health Commissioner. THE DEFENDANT TO TESTIFY Will Probably Go Upon The Witness Stand Today. Relatives Of Patients State That They Paid Money To lr. McShane And Produce Receipts A Resume Of The Charges Made By The State. The State yesterday afternoon closed its case against Dr.

James F. McShane, for mer health commissioner, who is charged with embezzling money from the city. This morning witnesses for the defense will go upon the stand. About sixty witnesses have been summoned by the defense, and It Is under stood a number of these will testify as to the character of the defendant. Mr.

Hayes told Judge Stockbridge yesterday that he expected to get through with his witnesses today. If that is done the case will be argued tomorrow and should reach the jury tomorrow evening. Dr. McShane will go upon the stand in his own behalf, and his testimony will be prob ably the most interesting feature of the trial. The majority of witnesses yesterday were relatives of city patients In Spring Grove and Mt.

Hope Asylums. They were called to prove the various items in the bill of particulars, and their testi mony went to show that they had each paid $00 a year, either to Dr. McShane or some official of the health department. for the maintenance of patients and had never had any of the money refunded, Each juror had a copy of the bill of par ticulars and carefully followed the testl niony of witnesses. The witnesses generally produced receipts signed by Dr.

McShane or some offi cial of his department, and these were compared with the department books. In a number of instances there were no entries upon the books corresponding with receipts, but in many cases these entries appeared. The witnesses, as a rule, simply paid the money and secured receipts, having no conversation with Dr. McShane about the matter. Mr.

Hayes admitted that Dr. McShane received the money which was receipted for by others in the department. The State, at the beginning, wished to introduce receipts not mentioned In the bill of particulars. Mr. Hayes objected and was sustained by the court.

Mr. Hayes later waived his objection, stating that he desired to keep nothing of the kind from the jury. Afraid Not To Pay. One witness stated that Mayor Hodges had said if the payment of a year was not made the patient would have to get out of Mt- Hope and go to Bayview. Dr.

McShane, it was stated, said in at least one case that it was not necessary to make the payment if the relative of the patient felt unable to do so. The witness who testified to this said she contin- ued to pay because she feared the patient In the case might otherwise be sent to Bayview. One woman stated that her sister was maintained at Mt. Hope as a private patient until 1891, when she became a city charge, as her money was exhausted. The testimony of these witnesses occupied the greater part of the day and went to prove in detail that money had been paid to Dr.

McShane aggregating the $5,000 which he is charged with embezzling. Fonner City Officials. Former City Registers William F. Stone and John A. Robb and former City Comptroller James R.

Horner testified that they had never talked with Dr. McShane about the payments made to him for city patients. Mr. Horner knew that returns were made during his term by Dr. McShane.

City Register Supplee testified that he never had any conversation with Dr. McShane about the matter. George C. Vansant, formerly assistant secretary to the health commissioner, said he had received money at times, for which he gave receipts and turned the amounts over to Dr. McShane.

The practice of receiving such money from frie of patients had never been discussed by officials of the health department, to his knowledge. What The Mayor Would Have Said. State's Attorney Duffy, with the consent of Mr. Hayes, announced that Mayor Mal-ster, who had been summoned, but was unable to appear because of ill-health, would have testified to the conversation with Dr. McShane on the Sunday following the disclosure of the arrearage.

Dr. McShane told the Mayor, so the latter would have testified, that he had received money and failed to turn it over to the city, and that the amount would reach over a thousand dollars. Dr. McShane did not tell the Mayor, the latter asserts, that he had been advised by counsel not to turn over the money. Comptroller Fenhagen was recalled and went over the bills from Spring Grove and Mt.

Hope that had been paid by the city. Not having all the bills present, he was requested to make up a schedule and produce it today, when the case will be continued. Summary Of The Charges. The Introduction to the amended bill of particulars filed by State's Attorney Duffy gives in a nutshell the charges against Dr. McShane.

It Is as follows: "The defendant became commissioner of health and register of vital statistics on or about March 1, 1892, and held office until March 9, 1898, when he was succeeded by Dr. C. Hampson Jones, the present incumbent. "During the administration of the defendant, and prior thereto, many insane patients were committed to Spring Grove Asylum and Mt. Hope Asylum and placed at the asylums upon the lists of those chargeable to the city, in behalf of each of whom some person agreed and promised to pay and did pay to the commissioner of health and register of vital statistics for the city of Baltimore the sum of $00 a year.

From this source the defendant, while commissioner of health, as agent for the Mayor and City Council of received a large amount of money for which he accounted in part from March 1, 1892, to December 31, 1894, and did not account at all from January 1, 1895, up to the date of the filing of the indictment." The amount is set down as in the aggregate. OTHER COURT NEWS Estate Of Mr. Samuel Burns.

"Lee's Advanced School nistory of the United States," by Susan Pendleton Lee, with questions and summaries for reviews and essays by Louise Manley. Richmond, B.

F. Johnson Publishing Company. The author's object Is to be Just to all sections, "from Maine to Texas and California," but also to write history so that the Southern States shall receive their just share in the formation of the Union; in leading It to its democratic, free, equal, ideal of statehood and Federal delegated and to show to the children of the South forming their first Ideas of our government that ail rights and victories, all statesmanship, purity of motive, forbearance and justice were not on the side of the North; but, however, the issue was decided nevermore to become a living one Secession was not avmadness, nor the civil war the mere love of a fight, born of the boast that the South could whip the North, but a calm reckoning of the consequences, a compulsion that voiced itself in the parting speech of Jefferson Davis In the Senate, when his audience were moved to tears and the orator's accents faltered as he bade farewell to so much that had endeared the scene to all sections. Of necessity the book Is larger than Is usual, It is fully illustrated, especially in Southern life, and in the portraits of citizens and officers who took a leading, part in the civil, or military affairs. The maps are ample and the summaries and questions on the chapters are helpful.

The book is also flexibly bound and well printed In type that will save the eyes of the school children who will use it. There has been a demand for such a history as this, adjusting the even balance between the South and the North, and the commendations Miss Lee's work has received from all parts of the country are an evidence that It has both the indorsement of many prominent educators and the impress of a favorable popular approval. Causes of the Civil War. The causes leading to the civil war have been so persistently misrepresented by orators, educators and by the partisan press of the North that it Is refresh'ng to every lover of truth and justice to read the clear and simple statement of the case as set forth in this admirable school history. It is as follows; The Struggle for Southern Independence Kccessary.

Before we go into the story of the desperate and bloody struggle for Southern independence let us review the causes which made it necessary. The charge is usually made that it was undertaken by the South for the preservation of slavery, and that It was intended to bring about a reopening of the African slave trade. This Is untrue. You have seen that from the first there have been differences of opinion as to whether the States or the Union were the source of power. The Northern and Southern interests had always been opposed to each other.

The protective tariffs required to foster Northern manufacturers were, without exception, injurious and obnoxious to the South, which always contended against them. Centralization and State Bights. Besides this there had always been tAvo parties under various names, one of which held that the constitution favored "centralization" or giving the largest powers to the national government, the other that the States, as sovereign and independent, had absolute inherent rights wnicn tne nnotitntinn rccosnized and which it was Intended and bound to protect. The origi nal preference of the North for a strong central government was increased, as I have before said, by the large influx of foreign population, which baa no State attachments nor State pride, and which gloried in the national government as being partly regulated by themselves. A large party in the Southern States had always been strong in their adherence to Mr Jefferson's views of their rights and never hesitated to avow and defend them.

Slavery Recognized oy the constitution. On of the rights, on the recognition of which the constitution was founded, and xvhioh St was bound to protect, was mat of holding slaves. When the constitution was adopted, in 1787, slavery existed in almost all the States. Its disappearance In New England and the other Nortnern States was not only a matter of sentiment, but one of interest. Negro labor did not pay there as it did in the South, and was, therefore, transferred to the warmer cli mate.

Many statesmen held that slavery n-ns inexDedient and politically injurious, but that it was morally wrong was rarely advanced against It, until AMUiai lioya Garrison and his followers denounced it n5 "the sum of all iniquity," and at the sumo time, with a candor for which they are to be commended, acknowledged that the constitution favored It, ana was a "covenant with death and a league with hell' and must be abandoned. After a while the politicians thought it wise and prudent to take advantage of the abolitionist doctrine of "the sin of slavery," and engrafted it into their creeds and nifitforms as a nonular catch-word to in crease the opposition to the South, which was aggravated by a growing jealousy of her civilization and prosperity. ririrs of the Southern People. mis out cry against the sin of slavery had made the Southern people consider the subject, and they had reached the deliberate con clusion that it was not contrary to me law of God. Like all humane institutions, it had evils connected with it, but tney believed them less than those of any'other svstem of labor.

Under Its influence tney saw hundreds of thousands of African slaves civilized and Christianized, ana many of them" thought it the greatest missionary agent the world had ever known. The kindest and most affectionate relation existed between the slaves and their owners. A cruel or neglectful master or mistress was rarely found, and where an overseer on a distant plantation ill-used or overworked the negroes unaer nis charge he generally proved to be a man whose treatment of wife and children would have been an equal argument for the abolition of family or parental rela-tionshiD. The sense of responsibility pressed heavily on the slave-owners, and the rule among them was to do the best possible for the physical and religious wel fare of their people, xney uia uot iw sldpr the bondage in which the negroes were held a hardship or wrong to them, as thev were fed. clothed, lodged and carea for better than any other menial class on the globe.

I am not apologizing for slavery nor defending it. am tening you now the noble-minded, patriotic, religious peo-ple of the South looked on it in 1801. Mr. Lincoln's iews. mt.

lincoiu mmscu was, In the beginning; averse to having the Question of slavery considered as one of superior Importance among the causes of the war. He admittea tnat ngnt to hold slaves was expressly guaranteed by the constitution, which he declared him self most anxious to uphold. Later on he proclaimed that emancipation had become "a military necessity, on wmcu giuuuu he proceeded to act. Slavery Under the re opening of the slave trade was expressly forbidden by the constitution of the Con federate States, which declared that no slaves should be brought into them from anywhere else. And while that constitution gave slaveholders the express rignc to carry their slaves into any Territory belonging to the Confederacy, it also pro vided that when the Territory became a State it should be slaveholdlng or free, according to the will of its citizens.

War Jfot to Preserve Slavery. ot so much to preserve or to extend slavery, nor to have more poweirto reclaim their fugi tive slaves which must be more difficult to do from a foreign country than from sister States did the Southern States secede from the Union. They took the mo mentous step because for years they had striven in vain to secure and maintain the rights assured to them under the constitu tion. The Northern States had taken their stand against the equal rights of all the States in the possession of the Territories. They were not shaken in their opposition by the decision of the Supreme Court against them, and proceeded to manifest their utter disregard of it or anything contrary to their determination to control the government according to their own will.

The election of Mr. Lincoln by a party formed on the, ground of hostility to them brought these differences to a crisis, and the South took her affairs into her own hands and left the Union. Even her enemies are constrained to acknowledge that the rights she claimed were hers under the constitution and to justify their own action by an appeal to what they call "the higher law."

Statistics Of Growth Of Kindred Orders As Shown By The Figures For 1897 Millions Of Members And Billions In Beneficial Certificates.

A report submitted by the special com mittee on rates caused a general discus sion yesterday at the twelfth annual meeting of the National Fraternal Con gress, which began on Tuesday at Hepta soph's hall, Cathedral and Preston streets, and which will conclude today. The report was discussed in executive session, to which delegates only were admitted. Consideration of the report resolved Itself into a debate on the advantages of the fraternal methods of life insurance as compared with the plan of business pursued by the old-line insurance companies, which, it is claimed, are fight ing the fraternal orders. In Its report the committee concluded that the actuaries table of mortality is, both from the experience of the old-line companies and the fraternal orders, too high, and in the mortuary table submitted to the congress combined the various actual mortality experience in a mortality table which, the report declared, would be a guide to fra ternal beneficial societies. It was finally decided, after a number of speeches, to deter action on the report until some fu ture time.

Election Of Officers. Officers for the ensuing year were elected, as follows: President D. E. Stevens, Philadelphia, supreme mystic ruler of tha Fraternal Mystic Circle and during tha East year vice-president of the congress. Vice-President Dr.

Oronhyateka, Toronto, supreme chief ranger of the Independent Order of Forresters. Secretary-Treasurer M. W. Sackett, Meadville, supreme recorder Ancient Order of United Workmen. Dr.

Oronhyatekha, the newly-elected vice-president of the congress, is a full- Dioaed Mohawk Indian, and belongs to the tribe which has settlement at Desoronto, Ontario, and who are not only civilized, but also educated and well governed. His mother was of royal Indian blood, while on the paternal side he is decsended from a long line of Indian chiefs. The Doctor is a man of middle age. He received his collegiate education at Buchtel College, Akron, Ohio. During a visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada in the sixties, Dr.

Oronhyatekha was selected by the Mohawks to present their greetings to the heir-apparent. The address made by the Doctor on that occasion so impressed the Prince of Wales that he induced the former to return with him to England, where he was presented to the Queen. Dr. Oronhyatekha was sent to Oxford by the royal family, and upon completing his education at that famous institution he returned to this country and began the practice of medicine at London, Ont. While engaged in the practice of medicine Dr.

Oronhyatekha became connected with the Independent Order of Forresters. When the order was Incorporated in the Dominion of Canada in 1881 the Doctor was elected supreme chief ranger of the order, and has been re-elected to the position, which is the highest In the order, annually ever since that time. He draws a salary of $10,000 a year. Dr. Oronhyatekha is the owner of Forresters' Island, In the bay of Qulnte, an arm of Lake Ontario, a favorite summer resort.

He is highly regarded by the people of Toronto, and on a number of occasions he has been urged to run for the upper house of the Canadian Parliament. Though he resides for the most part in Toronto, the Doctor has a beautiful country home near Desoronto, On, His wife, who, with his daughter, accompanied him to this city, is a granddaughter of Joseph Brant, the famous Mohawk chief. Her skin is slightly darker than that of the Doctor's. Miss Oronhyatekha is a bright-looking girl, whose features indicate that she Is of Indian extraction. The family Is stopping at the St.

James' Hotel. Women Delegates Present. There are among the delegates to the congress eleven women, all of whom are ladies of refinement and education and of splendid personal appearance. The greatest interest Is manifested In the proceedings by the ladies, and whenever they address the body respectful and close attention is shown them by the delegates belonging to the sterner sex. Following are the ladies, together with the organizations and membership which they represent: Mrs.

Carrie M. McDonnell, Buffalo; Mrs. Emma S. Olds, Elyrla, Ohio; Mrs. Frances M.

Burns, St. Louis, Dr. Mary M. Danforth, Port Huron, and Miss Bina M. West, also of Port Huron, and Mrs.

Major N. S. Boynton, of Port Huron, the founder of the Knights of Maccabees, Is one of the most widely known of the delegates. The order, which was started In 1881 with 700 members, has Increased to 350,000. Major Boynton is an old Michigan cavalry officer, and in appearance is a typical Yankee.

He has a pleasant manner, and his thorough ac quaintance with the fraternal beneficiary system gives his views upon the subject much weight among the delegates. Statistics Of The Congress. In the report of the commitee on sta tistics, read by Mr. D. P.

Markey, Port Huron, is whs stated In part: "The membership represented, as shown In the reports to the congress last year, was 1,780,440, of which 48,210 were only social members. The reports submited this year shows that the orders reporting for the year 1897 had at the close of the year 2,045,092 members, of which 91,387 were social members only. The benefit mem bers admitted in 1897 were as compared with 338,678 In 1S96, an increase of 35.G91, and the net increase In benefit members of the orders In this congress for that year was 170,266, an Increase over 1896 of The social member ship Increased from 48,210 to 91,389, an Increase of 43,1 1 9, making the total net Increase In membership for the year 415, as compared with 153,020 for 1890. "During 1897 the orders reporting this year issued benefit certificates represent ing protection to the amount of 947,715. At the beginning of that year their certificates in force represented pro tection to the amount of $3,229,724,300.

The certificates terminated during the year amounted to $349,880,992, leaving the value of the certificates In force at the end of the year $3,443,793,023. "During the year there was distributed from the benefit funds of the orders rep resented to disabled members and the beneficiaries of deceased members 097,418. The average contribution per member to the benefit fund -was $18.25, practically the same as the year before, and about $10,20 per $1,000 of protection represented. It appears from the tables embraced In these reports that out of an average membership during the year 1897 of benefit members only 17,421 died, making the average death rate 9.32 per 1.000. During 1897 there were 186,682 certificates lapsed, representing protection to the amount of The aver age lapse rate for the year was 100 to each 1.000 of the average benefit membership for the year.

It cost $1.32 per capita to defray the expense of the orders In 1S97. us compared with $1.35 in 1896 and $1.40 In 1895. The total expense of doing this vast business, securing 874,369 new members, taking care of a business 'n- volvlng protection to the amount of and paying out benefits to the amount of $34,097,418, was only 058.84. If we would reduce the expense of carrying on this business to the mini mum we must teach our members to re gard their connection with the orders from a twofold standpoint. We must make the subordinate body more than an Insurance organization.

A mass-meeting of the members of the Royal Arcanum was held last night at the concert hall of the Academy of Music. Addresses were made by Police Commis sioner Edson M. Schryver, supreme regent of the order; Hon. John Haskell Bc'ler, Rostand's Great Play.

A Fine Edition Of Cyrano. "Cyrano de Bergcrac," translated from the French by Gertrude Hall. New York: Doubleday and McClure. Rostand thought the success of his play so doubtful in the United States that he did not take the trouble to copyright It. That he receives a royalty on the edition before us is to the credit of the publishers.

The translation by Miss Hall is the most spirited that has appeared. It Is not trammeled by too close adherence to the original rhythm, or verse form; It Is in nervous English, and the ring of one of the songs, that of the Gascony Cadets, will not, we venture to say, be bettered by any subsequent rendering. Raguenau's song, "How Almond Cheese Cakes Should Be Made," is also excellent. The dying scene in the convent garden, in which Mansfield is at his best. Is given with all the pathos and action of the original.

No play since the production of "The Cld" or of "Hernani" has been received so favorably in Paris. The town has gone wild over Cyrano, his disfiguring nose, his Innocent, Gascon, braggart ways, his self-sacrificing love for the precfcuse'Roxane. Gascony, from which come d'Artagnan and Tartarin, has been rediscovered. Madcap actresses and poets and singers make pilgrimages through it with music and dances, and the wildest dreams even of Tartarin are fulfilled in a country covered with the glory of these modern Bacchantes, whom Captain Fracasse should have led and Gautler chronicled. And the play as a play and as a literary event, deserves its reputation.

It Is both a tragedy, a spectacle, a sentimental comedy, and in some of its most improbable incidents in the career of its Gascon hero, a farce as worthy of i the land of his nativity as anything In Tartarin of Tarascon. Through It all, ever gay and light-hearted and defiant, moves Cyrano not the gloomy and spouting Hernani, nor the declamatory and wooden Cid, but with the sparkle of the sunshine of golden Gascony in his disposition true friend, hopeless lover, braggart and bravo, with the ten-derest of hearts and the sharpest of swords. He is the creation of the play, the live figure In a group of friendly or unfriendly puppets, who fill the stage to show off his qualities, ail good but all deriving their light from the central sun, satellites of his beams where he must be kept constantly on the stage that they may shine from his reflection. As a reading play we do not think it catches the attention more firmly than the comedies of Sheridan, or "The World Where One Is Wearied," of Pallleron; "The Lady's Battle," of Scribe, or that perfection of modern light comedy, Voyage of Monsieur Perriehon." Doubleday McClure Issue two editions of this play one In handsome blue and silver and the other in vest pocket form. Another translation of the same play-there, is, also, a third comes from Lam-son, Wolffe Boston, (B.

He wit; the veteran Anna H. Dorsey; the eccentric, but talented, Thomas E. Van Bibber.

If we see many who have been undeservedly neglected, there are others It might be as well to forget. But the idea of Mr. Perine was to be very Inclusive, and he has carried it out to the letter. The biographical portion of the earlier writers is valuable and must have been obtained with much research and perseverance. We are gratified that the list Includes Poe.

the two Pinkneys, Wallis, Lanier, Van Bibber though the selection is not representative George H. Miles, Dr. Palmer, Randall, Miss Reese and others who have more than a local reputation. We make a note, also, of Amelia B. Welby and Emma Alice Browne.

Some important omissions are Miss Cloud, Mrs. Preston, Edward Lucas White, Valentine, W. H. Carpenter and Mrs. Case, who wrote "There Is No Unbelief," a poem that year by year goes the round of the press.

The attempt to rescue 6ome of the names which the thick mantle of oblivion is covering from men's sight should be recognized In Maryland, and we trust that the patriotic compiler will meet with such success as will enable him to issue a second and revised edition of "The Poets and Verse-Writers of Maryland."

Since taking them I have had no distress at all after cing, and again after long years CAN SLEEP WELL." Rev. F. Bell. Weedsport, N.

formerly Idalia, CoL Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a remarkable remedy, not only because it is a certain cure for all forma of indigestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach is overworked; all it wants is a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much-needed rest This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the dicestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets viil digest tht food uhtther th ttomatl works or not. New life and energy is given not only to tha stomach, but to every organ and nerve in the bedy. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can eurei.

"There are nearly a million Christian Scientists in the United States and Canada. Thia body of religionists has over four hundred church congregations. Some of the congregations number less than a score of people and some exceed twenty-five hundred persons. Eighty per cent, of the members of the Christian Science churches represent cases that a few years ago were considered hopeless. The average healthy condition of these churches greatly exceeds that of other congregations.

All candid observers remark that the general appearance of these people represents a high degree of health and vigor. When it is remembered that medicine is an unknown element in the lives of this great body of thinkers, authors, teachers, judges, physicians and social and philanthropic workers, sober judgment should squarely face the question most naturally raised. Can this great multitude be expected to depend upon any system other than the one that has restored them to health. "Is there any Sscriptual authority for the practice of the absent healing of Christian Science? Yes. Jesus healed the Centurion's servant absently.

It waa the next day that they remembered that the fever had departed at the very time that the Centurion asked Jesus to heal the case. Christian Science utilizes an exact therapeutical or psychical law in its absent healing and accom plishes definite results thereby. 'Facts are Btubborn and the definite cases healed prove the genuineness of the claim. A Mighty And Reliable Friend." "The heterodoxy of today Is the ortho doxy of tomorrow. Let tolerance, sound judgment, and a spirit of humanitarianism be our guiding thoughts in dealing with these questions which relate to the pub lic health and the best interests of the race.

Let neither religious prejudice nor partisan condemnation blind and becloud human judgment. That which is proving Itself a mighty and reliable friend to thousands of hopeless sufferers should receive the approval of mankind. "Let It be understood that Christian Science stands for the religion of Jesus, aflame with compassion, tenderness. mercy, liberalism and works of healing. It stands for the equality of the sexes, for Individual chastity and purity and for the ultimate attainment of perfect manhood.

It exalts the Ideal of universal peace among the nations of the earth. It places especial stress upon the practical Ideals of individual freedom, sound morality and Christian democracy. It proclaims a gospel of righteous thinking, high and true living, and the contagion oi neann, nappi-ness and optimism. It elevates the ideas of integrity, self-government and mental poise, placing principle above partisanship in the political world, and Truth above authority in the religious. "A Gospel Of Life." "It teaches a gospel of Life, as opposed to death, of faith and love, as opposed to fear, and of victorious good in contradistinction to the dismal theory of evil's awful and perpetual power over mankind.

Well has it been said by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science that thought of advancing humanity. The sober second thought is invariably the right thought. Therefore, Christian Science Is Christian because it works in accordance with the teachings of the Founder of Christianity, repeats his works, fulfills his commandments, and realizes for the race his promises. "Christian Science is scientific because It Is definitely proveable- and scientifically exact. Every case of physical healing proves this to be true and each instance of reformation In character confirms the claim of Christian Scientists that it Is both Christian and scientific.

The works of Christian Science represent a divinely natural law, and are, therefore, not the operations of super-naturalism, but the demonstrable truths of scientific Christianity.
