CiitCAtio , Sopt. 18. John Roberts of
fand ana FranK C. Ivos of Chicago , each
champion of his respective country , mot to
night In Central Music hall to begin the
series of six nights play forfcJ.OOO , the match
to consist of 1,000 points each night , or n
total of 0,000 points.
i The game Is English billiards , spot stroke
nnd Jaw barred , with two and one-quarter
Inch balls , and | g played upon a six-pocket
table , 0x12 feet , nnd brought from Ixmdon
for the occasion. U Is tbo second encounter
of these players. The first match was played
in London last May , having boon won by
Ivc * by a score of 0,000 to 3,831. Iloborts
has never before engaged In a mutch in
Amorlcn. " *
The nttcnOanco was quite largo nnd In
cluded many Englishmen and n liberal mini-
cor of billiard celebrities. Prior to opening
play it was announced that Roberts would
play nny innn In tlio world 24,000 points , reg
ular English gnmo , for 1,000 , a side , Kobcrts
to glvo odds of 8,000 , points.
Ojivnnd with n Alias.
In stringing for lead Ivcs won , but missed
clean. iiotcrts : seemed not to got on good
terms with the balls for tbo ilrst few open
ings , while Ivcs was rough nnd uncertain in
bis strokes. The Englishman was the
first to got under headway and rapidly drew
to the front. Ills run of 117 in the twelfth
Inning was u line example ot dcltcato
nursing and accurate position play. Ho wu&
not afraid to tnko the cushions freely for
hli cnroms , nnd did nil his work Ilka a
thorough billiard player. Ho finally closed
the inning with n miss of n masse shot ,
Ii which Ivos or Schneff or would not miss once
In 1,000 times. Kuns of f6rty-flvoand , thirty-
eight for the Briton brought bis score up to
lid at the end of the fourteenth Inning ,
against n total of 7l ! for Ivcs.
, I w Dliln't llothtir Hun.
The Chlrneo mrn's turn came In the seven
teenth Inning , where ho found tbo balls
ready raited far his use on the natural short
rail about midway. By the time ho had
reached.the corner ho had clicked off 100.
Now came the now restriction Imposed In
consequence of his big jaw run In
tbu London match. This time the jaw
was barred , but it made no difference. Ho
turned the corner with ono stroke and did it
with absolute perfection , so that tbo
balls were on the long rail In perfect shape.
At IDS came an unlucky freeze nnd the balls
were spotted. Ivcs missed from the lay off.
Ills score was now ! il'3 tigalnst , 3J for
Roberts.
During the rail nursing Roberts for
the first time stood up near the table
vrutching every shot mnde by his op
ponent. Moderate results were the result -
sult of the next few innings , but Ivcs
gradually closed the gap , so that the
end of the twenty-fourth saw him but
U5 points behind. He now missed several
. times , and Roberts opened his lead to nearly
n hundred , iho calling being 5-10 nnd 453 at
the end of the twenty-ninth. It was
along hero that Roberts made a
clear lluko nnd gracefully acknowl
edged it by n Himle nnd a bow.
Until rinyvd Kino ISIIIIurdn.
Hero too , Ivcs astonished the Britisher
nnd won n big round of npplnuso jumping
over the white and pocKeting the red ball.
It was the ouly way ho could overcome a
hard ; line break and wns un extraordinary
shot.
in bis thirty-sixth Roberts showed some
steady billiards , und with a well played run
of 'oiglity-oiio brought his scorn to COS
against Ives' 490. The American was now
getting Bomo tough breaks , the result of
strong safety play by bis opponent , und was
not doing well with them. In the fortieth
Inning Roberts got a very good left
hand rail opening , but ho could only get
twonty-ono out of it. Again iu tno forty-
Jlrst the balls were in ideal shape on the
natural enil rail , but ho-bunglud them Into a
Hue and mls.scd at twenty. All this time ,
however , Ives wns averaging less than four
and at the close of the forty-fourth inning
Roberts was ' > points in the lead.
Ivcs Itun Out.
In the forty-seventh the Chicnco player
had worked hard for the rail ami finally got
It right handed. Ho rounded the jaw nt
fifty-eight and Blurted down the long
cushion. At 12llio froze ntraln. nnil again
missed the lay off shot. For his fiftieth
inning , (7 ( after n succession of coopers ,
KobcrtB put , hi a neat collection of losing
hazards , using follous , draws and the ttead
stroke with great prolieioney. In this way
he soon drew awny from hU o ] > ponont
nnd 'hnd n lead ef nearly " 00 nt
the end of tlio fifty-third inning.
In missing ho left Ivcs a Jlno opening
nnd with a darln ? masse shot ho railed the
balls on the end , ellckcJ them around the
corner pocket to the long rail nt l'0 ! aiitl
went on with rapid play , this time keep
ing .tho bulls a little further apart to avoid
freezing. As he reached "IX ) nndiwas in
advance of his opipnont | , a mighty shout
went up from the audience. At SJSG he drove
the ball past the middle pocket and ran out
Ills thousandth with the bulls iu perfect po
sition to renew play tomorrow evening.

Nnw YOIIK , Sept. 18. Captain GrlDltns of

Valkyrie September 10. Ho got the signal ,
"All well on board. " Ho said they would
probably arrive in the morning. During llio
evening the Valkyrie was sighted off Nnu-
tuckct shoals.
FOXY BILL HOLMAN.
The Kx-Wntch < tn of the Trcnnnrjr n Shrewd
uiu iioosior.
"Watchdog" Holman is a shrewd in
dividual at times. At the last session of
congress ho had a semi-private bill ask
ing for a small appropriation. It was
ust exactly the breed of bill Holraan
always fought. So ho went puilofully
und asked another member to introduce
it for him.
"Next suspension day , " said ITolinun
to his acont after the bill had boon reported -
ported liaek to the house , "suppose you
call up that little mcasuro I had you in
troduce. I don't ' much think anybody
will oppose it. "
When the bill came up and Ilolinan's
friend was briefly explaining the pro
posed measure the old watchdog arose
and asked him several questions as to
the purpose and aim of the bill , and nil
with tbo air of a man who had never
heard of it before in bis llfo. The friend
was indignant at this exhibition of craft
and cnmo mighty near unloading the
whole inner history of the transaction
right thero. But before ho could eon-
cludo to do it Ilolman sa.t down with an
acquiescent air , saying us ho did so :
"Oh , I guess the bill is all right. I don't
care to oppose it. "
Everybody else naturally concluded
that if Iloliiian would lot it got safolv
by it must bo all right , and the bill
cantorcd through to victory unchal
lenged.
Time and again the republicans have
made desperate rallies against Holtmui.
They would got possession of the Indiana
legislature and put in a whole session
trying to scheme a gerrymander which
would leave that eminent gentleman
oiit oiva limb. They've taken his dis
trict'and pulled it nnd hauled it nnd
twisted it and turned it until it looked
like a misspent life. They have had
Ilolmau with a plain 2,000 republican
majority against him. But the old man
would go patiently home , and then for
two or three months one would hear
dimly of Hohnan hero and there among
the hooppoles. When the votes were
counted ho would bob serenely up with
a few safe hundred to tno right sidn of
his books , and back to congress ho'd
eomo. There nro romihlioniis in tlm
Indiana insane asylum right now with
tholr reason drifting keel up , a total
wreck , made so trying to invent a gerry
mander which would hold Ilolmnu.
Ono day a follow member asked Hol
man how he managed it. The old gen
tleman took a bite oil a plug of navy in
a deprecatory way and replied : "Well ,
my district is n peculiar one. You want
to go right among my people. You can't
run a campaign by telephone out in my
district. You must go among the voters.
And that's what 1 do I go among 'em.
As I travel about I don't stop at the
houbo of a democrat , like you would ,
possibly. Np. I always manage so it
gets dark when I'm right near some re
publican who has two or three sons and
maybe a hired man or so. I'm u common
sort of a miuij and naturally I sit up and
talk with the old man and the boys before
fore wo go to bed. I never speak of pol
itics to 'em. They got around to thut
thombolvos. Even then I don't say tiny-
thing about mvsolf ; I' toll ' 0111 all about
congress and Washington and the neces
sity of keeping extravagant nnd dishonest -
est legislators from looting the treasury.
Frequently wo sit up until midnight. In
the morning , just before I ride away to
wharb I'm going to speak , the old man
will say something like this : JWell ,
jedgo , I reckon I'll ' hitch , up and come
over and hear you talk seine today. I'vo '
boon a republican all my llfo and never
scratched u ticket , but I believe I'll do
it just once for you and see what hau-
petiB. ' That's ono way I do , " concluded
Ilolman , thoughtfully. "Of course , I
have other ways , too. "
Oinior Till IZH Aliuut l'rag ,
A remarkable thing about these crea
tures is that the larger part of the
breathing is done through the skin , suys
St. Mcholus. In fact , it is said thut this
supply of air is a necessary addition to
that taken in by ordinary breathing , as
the latter does not supply sullloiont air
to supply llfo in a frog.
Another peculiar thing about the skin
of the frog Is its powerful absorption of
water. Tills is due , of course , to the
numberless ininuto porus with which
their shin1 is provided , It has boon
proved that a frog can soak up half
its weight of water in nn hour. The
skin of the stomach most active in
this way , and , nt the same time , is most
often in contact with moisture , such as
mud , dewy grass , wet ground and loaves
alford. As the skin perspires quite as
freely us it abdorbs , it is easily been why
contact with molsUiro is so necessary.
Besides Uu > loss from evaporation ,
(
there is tlio slopping of skin broutji-
Ing also , bcnauso the skin haste
to bu - kept moist and soft to
absorb fresh air und give off used air
from the sytitoin. Tlio bonking of water is
what gives the frog's skin such a cold ,
dummy und uncanny fueling when
handled. And it explains u strungo
thing. Though a bullfrog were poked
with a rcd-hut iron , it would not fool it
enough to move out of its tracks , for the
moisture on the akin forms a kind of
Him of vapor between it nnd the iron ,
which it takes time to hunt through ;
und so the frog would not fool pain from
tbu heat , Yet , if hot water is dropped
upon him , ho will instantly jump from
pain , us this heat ut ouco strikes into
the skin.

congress on the 30th day of April , 178'J , In the
city of Now York , Washington had been In
augurated president. From that hour
the beginning of our government uudor
the constitution tlio congress was
held in Now York until 17VO , then In Phila
delphia until 1800 when , on Novo-nbcr 17 , It
first convened in Washington. The neces
sity of selecting n suitable and central plnco
for the permanent location of the seat of
government early engaged the thoughtful
consideration of our fathers. It cannot bo
supposed that the < tuestlon reached a ilnal
determination without great einuarmss-
mcnt , earnest discussion , and the mantfes-
tatlou of sectional jealousies. Hut , as has
been well said , "the good genius of our sys
tem llnally prevailed , " and "a district of
territory , on the river Potomac , nt some
place between the mouths of the 1dmorn
liranch and the Connojwchonguo , " was , by
aet of congress of Juno B3 , 171Mv "accepted
for the permanent seat ot tbo government of

UllllUU
With the rolling years and the rapid
growth of the republic catno the Imperative
necessity for onl.xrgiiiR Us capltol. The de
bates upon this subject culminated In the
aet of congress of September ! M , 1830 , pro
viding for the erection of the north and south
wings of the capltol. Thomas U. Walter
was the architect to whose bands was com
mitted the trrcat work. Yonder noblcstruu-
turo willslnnd for ngcs the client witness of
thu fidelity with which the important trust
\\ns discharged. .
The corner stone of tlio additions was laid
by President Fillmorq on the -1th day of July ,
1M1. In honor of that ovcnt , nnd by request -
quest of the president , Mr. Webster pro
nounced an oration , mm while wo bavo n
country nnd u language bis words will touch
a rcsponslvo chord in patriotic hearts.
When the foundntion stone of this capltol
was laid , our republic was In its infancy ,
and self-government yet an untried experi
ment. It Is u proud reflection today that
time has proved tbo trao nrblior , nnd that
the capacity of a free and Intelligent people
to govern themselves by written constitu
tion and laws of their own making Is no
longor-nn experiment. The crucial test of n
century of unparalleled material prosperity
has been safely endured.
From fifteen states and 4,000,000 of people
wo hnvo grown to lit'ty stntcs and territories
and 07,000,000 people ; from an urea of bOj.OOO
to nn area of UCOO,000 quaro miles ; from a
narrow strip along the Atlantic seaboard to
nn unbroken possession from ocean to ocean.
How marvelous the increase In our national
wealth 1 In 17UJ our imports amounted to
$11,000,000 and our exports to fS , -
000,000. Now our Imports nro $ S47-
000,000 nnd our exports 81,030,000,000.
Thirty-three million tons of freignt nro car
ried on our great lakes , whoso only burden
tbon was the Indian's canoe. Then our
national wealth wus inconsiderable , now our
assessed valuation amounts to thu enormous
sum of $21(130,000,000. ( ThontradoanU travel

sailing vessels ; now steam nnd electricity
do our bidding , railroads cover the land ,
boats burden the water , the telegraph
reaches every city and huinlct , distance Is
annihilated.
Whtm tlio Corner Stone Wan I.ula.
When the corner stone was laid. Franco ,
then In the throes of revolution , had Just de
clared war with Great Britain a war in
which nil Europe eventually became in
volved. Within a century of that hour , in
thu court of Franco , there convened an in
ternational court , its presiding oulcer nn
eminent citizen of the French republic , its
members representatives of sovereign Euro
pean states , its object the peaceable adjust
ment of controversies between Great Britain
and the United Stares.
In no part of pur mechanism of govern
ment was the wisdom of our fathers more
strikingly displayed than in the division of
power into the three great Departments
legislative , executive and judicial. In an
equal degree was that wisdom manifested
by the division of the congress into a senate
and a house of representatives.
Yet , may wo not conlldontly abide In the
faith that in the keeping of tboso who suc
ceed the illustrious saces I hnvo named the
dearest' interests of our country will be
iaithfully conserved , nnd in tho'words of nn
eminent predecessor , ' 'though these marble
walls tnoldcr into 'ruin , the senate , iu an
other ago , may bear into a new and lai-Ror
chamber the constitution , vigorous-and in
violate , and that the hist generation of pos
terity shall witness the deliberations of the
representatives of .American states , still
united , prosperous and free. "
And may our fathers' God , "from out
whoso hand the centuries fall lllcc grains of
snnd , " continue- the American people
throughout all the ages the prosperity and
blessings which He has given to us la the
past.
Speaker Crisp followed on behalf of the
house. Hoopoko brielly on the same gen
eral theme the nation's greatness and her
promise of continued existence.
A chorus sang "Xho Heavens Are Toll
ing. " nnd then Justice Henry Billings Brown
of the supreme court spoke on behalf of the
judiciary. Ho gave a history of the supreme
court and touched on some of the famous
names connected with the bur of the nation.
The concluding address was by M. W.
Parker of the commissioners of the District
of Columbia , and the assembly was dis
missed with the benediction by Cardinal
Gibbons.

Thousands of poaplo thronged to the capl

I'ollur'd Hfsoluilou Taken Up.
After n brief executive session the senate
took up the resolution offered by Mr.Poffor
on Saturday , Instructing the committee on
interstnto commerce to ascertain whether
any legislation is necessary to prevent the
interruption of interstate trafllo by lawless
pel-nous and to formulate legislation , if any
bo necessary , to punish robbery uua murder
committed on interstate railway trains.
Mr. Poffer spoke In f.ivor of its adpptlon.
He said ho was sorry that-in earlier times
rewards had not been offered by.stato legis
lators for the scalps of truin-robbers ns
there had been for thosa of wolves.
Mr. Cullom , republican , of'Illinois appre
ciated the gravity of the question , but us
the fncta were well knowu" ad the only
matter to bu considered was ttia character
of the legislation necessary tp , roach tbo
evil , he moved that tha committee on judi
ciary bo Instructed to consider the matter ,
with u view to reporting a bill to remedy
the evil.
Mr. Hoar , republican , of Massachusetts
was ninaicd ut the attempt of Mr. Peffor to
secure the offering of rewards tor the scalps
of train robbers.
A question then arose between Mr. Hoar
nnd Mr. Poffer as to what the latter had
suld on the matter , and ll > e oniclul re
porter's notes were referred to.
Vvm'i Opinion of the Itenulutlon.
Mr. Vest , democrat , of Miisourl said It
wus an attempt on the part of. the wealthy
express companies to iccuro their
money , nnil7 lf necestiry , the mil-
Uury power of the government to
protect thfilr s prowsrty. It any such
legislation wero'rcportcd from thocommlttoo
ho would bo IfMrXl from In opposition to It.
ns , In his onlriT&n' ' , tbo stntes were fully com
petent to denl'WIth ' the matter.

"The question of how to spend the winter
evenings is ono that will soon bo pressing , "
said Rev. Frnnk Crane yesterday. "Tho
saloons nnd other places of questionable re
sort nlwnjs make abundant provision In
this direction lor the youth. It has often
been n subject of rcnmrk that while theaters
and other places of mcro amusement make
active provision for attracting young people ,
the palatial churches stand closed six
evenings In tbo week. The Firs' ' , Methodist
church ot this city Is about to make n move
ttiut will do something toward remedying
this condition of things. Its parlors form nn
Ideal place for an evening's entertainment.
It Is proposed to have n 'Chautauqua Col-
lego' every Thursday , which Is to bo an as
sembly for the pursuance of a course of read
ing , the discussion of intereuting topics , nnd
the siecuriiig of u cour.so of lectures from
prominent men.
' There is another cause for the organiza
tion of this 'college.1 This Is llio day of
popular education , of cheap books , of uni
versity extension and Chautauqua move
ments. There nro many people , however ,
who have never taken bold of anything of
this sort for the reason that it never was
presented to them in n simple nnd feasible
lorm. There nro many who would like to
pursue n course of reading merely for gen
eral culture. As any book is better under
stood if these who rend it meet afterwards
to discuss it , it Is the design of the colleL'o
to pursue n course of reading nnd nt the
weekly meetings to have it discussed under
the leadership of some cniublo person.
\Vill KIIKIIKO Uir.inont Spn.ikrm. '
"In looking nbout for n course which
would bo suitable to all classes none was
found to excel that which Is prupared bv the
Chnutnuqua people. It Is decided , there
fore , to adopt tholr course of readinir as u
stands , including the magazine. Mcro study
and recital , however , nro apt to become ex
tremely dry. A feature was therefore hit
upon which is decidedly unique nnd destined
to become very popular. It is to secure
prominent educators and men of broad cul
ture , such as college presidents , public lec
turers and others who have achieved eml-
nciit success in intellectual lines , to deliver
lectures weekly before the college. These
are to bo not on technicalior distinctly educa
tional topics , as the purpose is to
hear nnd meet the man and recch'o
from him a stimulus to intellectual
effort , rather than to get from him any
spcellic Instruction connected with tbo
course of study. The effort to secure these
men has met with surprising success. When
the idea was mentioned to them they all
were charmed with it and were anxious to
give what portion of their time they could
to help make it a success. Most intellect
ually successful men have the true mission
ary spirit in this direction.
"Among those who have boon tentatively
secured are : W. K. Harper , the guiding
genius of the New Chicago university ; M. S.
Terry , the noted biblical and critical
scholar of the Northwestern nt Evanston ;
Isnao Crook , tha now chancellor of the Ne
braska Wcsleyan ; President Quaylo of tlio
Baker university of Kansas ; President W.
F. King of Mount Vernon , In. ; President
Wilder of Bloomiugton , 111. ; President
Johnson of tbo Wyoming State univcrsitv ;
C. N. Sims , ex-chnncollor of the Syracuse
university ; President Handier of Black
IIUls collcfo , and others. Beside this , local
talent consisting of the brightest minds of
Omaha will bo secured. "
McotH With Gvnttnil Approval.
Superintendent FHzpatrick of the public
schools has given the scheme his warmest
approval nnd promised his
hoarly co-opera
tion. The movement is to bo entirely nonsectarian -
sectarian , although under the nianagnment
of Mr , Crano. Tlo design is merely for the
improvement of intelligence and culture or
all who desire to attend , no matter what
church they belong to or whether they belong -
long to no church. The exorcises will not
aOhcrc to class forms and recitations but
will probably bo of u moro popular charac
ter. It is said there are hundreds of youths
in Omaha who nro boarding ana it Is said
that this place of resort for un evening of
healthful amusement and instruction will
bo n Godsend. An especial invitation is
extended to nil young men and women who
are not living in their own homes.
About ninety persons hnvo already indi
cated their desire to take part in this move
ment. and among them uro quite n number
of business men.
There are to bo no fees or dues or price of
admission , but all financial support is to bo
secured by voluntary offerings of these who
attend. A meeting for organization nnd
discussion of plans will bo held at the First
Methodist church at tbo corner of Twentieth
and Davenport streets , Tuesday night. Sep
tember IU , nt 8 o'clock. All who are Inter
ested nro invited to attend.

A number of tbo local members of the

Issued by Chairman Deaver of the 'state
central committee. The object of the moot
ing was to arrange for financial matters in
connection with the campaign.
The chairman had been given charge of
his branch , so far ns the local vineyard was
concerned , previous to the state convention ,
but since his promotion ho found too many
other matters pressing tor his time and at
tention , nnd wanted to bo relieved of this
portion of nis work. It seems that the
state convontl9n levied a itax of f5 on each
delegate to the convention , nnd it was a
part of the committee's work to collect this
money , It further scorns that the delegates
did not respond freely , ami-it was deemed
advisable to create u political collection

o'clock yesterday evening on the corner of
Fifteenth nnd Davenport streets.
Thocausu of his sudden demise is sup-

Davenport , going east , wnon bo suddenly
stugirerod and dropped head foremost onto

Assisted by a magnificent "first night"
nudlcnco , with the boxes filled and the
lionso gay with brightly gowned women ,
Hoyd's theater formally Inaugurated Its
third season last ovonlnp with Bronson
Howard's latest success , "Aristocracy. "
It bus been nearly twenty years slneo this
eminent dramatist began to turn hts atten
tion to the American stage , with the loealo
thoroughly American , although , now nnd
then , for the purposes of liU art , ho has In
troduced other countries solely to bring out-
lu moro stressful manner , the wealth of uin ,
tcrlnl found riant hero nt homo.
In "Arlsloi-raoy" Uronson Howard lins
touclicd upon a tliomo that Is particularly
uppermost Just ht this time , the besieging of
the citadel of "swelldom" by rleh Ameri
cans. Avhllo the coronet-hunting daughters
of the wealthy men of Amoric.i huvo been
the subject of countless satirical paragraphs
In the newspapers , oven the storj writers
exploiting the conditions ns fonnu today In
swell circles , on the stage these well known
fncta have never been so seriously nor so
comprehensively treated ns In "Aristoc
racy. "
The author has looked nt It from n most
thoughtful point of view nnd with his r.iro
gift for dr.imatlu situations h.ia written
easily thu urcatest piny of the last flvo
years. True , ho lias had n wcll-lllled fount
to draw from , hut. withal , bo ha made the
play Intensely attractive , not only In envi
ronment hut. In the deft manner of. Its workIng -
Ing out.
Tha iilnv Is Intel nnVtlin Intoot f.-ialilnnnliln
lines. Tlio "now people of llio west , "
grown wiser In a generation , Instead of
storming the fortress of the htghu.U Now
York society , the Ten Bra-ck-Lawrences ,
tmmcdlatelv after their newly acquired
riches and being unmercifully tnubbod for
their impertinence , spend n year in Kuropo
with dukes and other examples of the effete
monarchies , with the result that they nro
the lions ot the soasjii. The piny is
plquantly satirical , wonderfully modern , nnd
teaches a lesson that every true American
girl might learn with profit.
Of the company a column mlijht bo writ
ten , becaubo each member Is a star In his or
her rolo. Indeed n stronger or moro evenly
balanced organization has novcrbccii scon In
Omaha and it Is a positive delight to record
the trcnuiiio triumph of last night bv thi'so
players. Mr. Maurice Barrymore leads the
list as Jefferson Stockton , tbo "sox-enty thnrs

of this great west. Ho plays thu part with
consummate art , although ono caunot help
but wish that ho were a little bit moro sort-

way magnate. Hut bo is genuine In bis
work and has the opportuu'ty ' of his Hfo for
fine work.
Miss Blnucho Walsh , who but a few ohort
years ago made her Uobut , later playing with
Mane Walnright , is fair to look upon. In
fact , she may lay the ploasinsr unction to her
soul that she Is the handsomest of tlio
younger American actresses who nro climb
ing upward. As an actress she is nil that
could bo desired. WllH.im Favcrsham as
the villain , Prince Kmil , is the most suave

cently , wlnlo the Stuyvesant Lawrence of
Mr. S. Miller Kent is a refreshinc bit of
"loading juvenile. " Hut it is useless to tell
of so eminently acceptable a company Indi
vidually because of space. The play is
mounted -vith discriminating tnsto , while
the costumes nro "dreams , " as a lady di

tianity and the Intelligent people of America.
Ho went on to s.iy that out of tlio religion of
thu litultlhlsts has conic thuggery , robbery ,
assassination and thievery.
The bishop had nnnouncoU that ho
would pro-iuli on the Hvo roat rollRioiii

to the world no helpful literature , no system
of free government , no social system and no
heroic virtues. On tlio binks of the
Ganges was a religion claimed to IM
the oldest In existence that of Uruinr.a ,
The pmullt who had recently spoken
in Chicago exalted his religion nbovu
that of Christ , but , said the bishop , .mark
the result -the lulaiiticlilo of girls , the con
tempt of women , children tin-own Into the
Gauges , \vldowhood a crln.o , nnd th'j widow
given to bo burned on the funeral pyre of her

como thuggery , a condition that pui-mits Its
enthusiasts to become robbers , assassins and
thtoves.

respondent to a number of the Buddhists at

well as some of the Christian ministers. As
n general rule they merely smiled and ex
pressed themselves as t > orry that any man
who represented himself as a minister of the
Christ should so far furzot himself as un
necessarily to atl.ick a people and a faltli

Hov. Juukin Lloyd Jones , Secretary

ment of Bishop Nowi.iun , if uttered as re
ported , is not lair and not true. It is meas
uring Buddhism nt its lowest , and then com
paring it with Christianity lit its lushest.

Bishop B. W. Arnott , African Mntboilist
Episcopal Church I don't think the ntrlct-

ity can't stand a comparison with oilier re
ligions , it is not ol much account. Wo in
vited the Buddhists to rome hero nnd they
cumo and have expressed themselves hon
estly , fearlessly and well. If Bishop Now-
innn is so anxious to defend thu faith as ho
claims to have it , why did ho not cor.o to
the parliament of religions ; Ho was in-
