Among Iho passengers on the cnstbouncl
Jlurlinpton express ttmt left the union depot
at 4 tfO.yesterday afternoon was a party of
live mem who occupied a section of one of tlio
sleepers. Ono of the party was u medium

been n successful business man traveling for
pleasure nnd wlilllng away the monotony of
the Journey In the company of a troupe of
fellow tourists. Probably not one of the
other passengers In the car dreamed thnt ho
ills hands wcro
wns a dcsprrato criminal ,
not manacled , but onoof his four companions
kept the most vigilant watch over his every
movement.
The man with the plcrclntr oycs wns Tcon
M. Carrier , who was on his way to Quebec
to answer for the crime of stealing thirty
carloads of flour valued at over $1)0,000 ) from
the Canadian Pacific railroad. The four
men with him wcro Detectives Joseph Patry
nnd Thomas Walsh of the Quebec Provincial
police nnd two deputy sheriffs from Denver ,
who had been pressed Into service to malco
mire that the prisoner should have no op
portunity for escape during the Journey.
Carrier seemed to talto his capture as a
matter of course nnd took no more interest
in the trip th.ui an ordinary passenger. The
theft was committed several months ago nnd
Carrier led the police a pretty chase before
ho was apprehended. Ho succeeded in mak
ing his way across the Canadian oordor nnd
was having a royal time on his ill-gotten
gains. At longth'lio was recognized by the
Denver detectives and locked up until the
Quebec olllcials could obtain extradition
papers and send two of their detectives uf ter
the prisoner.
I.ncntctl n Ilcnpcruto Murderer.
Carrier is not the only criminal , however ,
who will bo called upon to answer for n fear
ful crime as n result of the trip of the
Canadian detectives. Ono of the most des
perate nnd successful criminals with whom
the provincial police have had to deal was
recognized in the county jail at Denver , and
us soon as the term of his imprisonment ex
pires ho will bo extradited ar.d taken back
to stand trial for one of the most brutal
murders ever perpetrated in the .Dominion.
The man in question is T ouis Plantc , who
nfter serving several terms in the peniten
tiary for serious crimes , had escaped to the
United States nfter muracring n wealthy
Chinese merchant and robbing him of over
JIIO.OOO in money.
About two years ago Plante was released
from the penitentiary nt Quebec after seiv-
ing a three years term for hurglary. This
was but one of a long scries of crimes that
had been laid to his door and the local
police wcro instructed to keep both eyes on
him until further notice. Plauto did netlike
like this surveillance nnd soon disappeared
from Quebec. Not long after one of the
most remarkable murders ever known In the
province was reported from Toronto.
Among the Chinese residents of that city
was Wong Fee , a wealthy merchant , who
.was.hold.in high , esteem by his countrymen
nnd ' who was well known in the business
circles of the city.
Wong too Wns Wenltliy.
Tike many forelcncrs Wong Fee kept largo
gums of money in his safe in preference to
trusting the banks , nnd by some means
Planto became acquainted with the fact.
Ono morning 'Wong Fee wns found lying
under a counter in his store with his head
nnd body beaten ulmost t(5 ( a Jelly. The safe ,
which stood in the rear of the store , was
opnn and $30,000 in cash , which the merchant
hail deposited there tlio night before , was
missing. Wong Fee had-oviclently surprised
the thief in the act of looting Iho safe , nnd
made a desperate attempt to preserve his
savings. Signs of a bloody struggle were
visible about tlio room. Upon the lloor lay
the heavy "Jimmy , " with which the thief
had evidently silenced the man whose wealth
) io hnd stolen.
The Chinaman lived long enough to regain
consciousness nnd give a description of the
man with whom ho had fought the midnight
liattlo. It fitted Planto to a dot and evi
dence was soon developed that continued
the suspicion. Detective Patry had often
nrrestcd Planto for various crimes. lie was
one of the first to recognize tlio murderer
from the description given by tlio dyinc
Chinaman. Tlio best detectives in Canada
wcro placed upon the track of the murderer.
They traced him through Canada and over
the line into the States. Step by stop lie
was followed to Chicago , where iho trail
wns lost. It was believed that ho had gone
west , but all efforts to trace him were una
vailing. At length the ollloors gave up the
task and Planto's wlicve.ibouts remained a
mystery until ho was rccocntzcd by the
detectives in the Denver jail.
l.ovi ! I'ruvcil 1IU Uiuliilnt ; .
As in nmuy other cases , a woman was nt
the nottom of Planto's undoing. If ho had
not had a mistress hq miuht still have been
nt liberty nnd frco from the shadow of tlio
gallows.
Whllo lie wns In Chicago Plnnto made the
acquaintance of a woman named Clara Fred-
cricks. The girl became Infatuated with the
desperado and her ruin soon followed. In
the meantime the ronl nnturo of her lover
cnmo'to the surface. Ho attempted to drive
her to n life of shanio in order to support
him. She resisted , nnd in n drunken fury
ho shot her through the breast. For eomo
weeks she lingered between life nud death ,
but eventually recovered. With a woman's
devotion she refused to appear against her
lover and attempted murderer. She admit
ted that she had lived with him as his wife ,
nnd on thnt ground claimed that she was hU
wife at common law. That being the case
ho could not bo forced to testify , nnd
through lack of evidence Plnnto escaped with
n Hliort Imprisonment ,
The woman Hod to Denver , fearing that
Planto would make another attempt on her
life. As soon as his sentence was served
Plauto followed her nnd succeeded In locat
ing her In Denver , where she wns loading a
life of shame. She had not forgotten him
nnd he soon Induced her to forglvo him ,
ClitTlihril Her Tumlerly.
On the night of September 12 , nnd Just-
week after the reconciliation , a hurry call
brought the patrol wagon to 21 U Market
street , where Clara.Frederlrks was staying.
The ofllcers found the woman lying un
conscious on Iho lloor. She watt half naked
nud covered with blood , which streamed
from .n dozen wounds. On tlio floor of tlio
room lay the fragments of n broken whip-
Block unil n club. The other women in the
liouso said that the girl hnd been beaten by
licr Jovi'r , but who hn was they did not know.
Tim woman was taken to a hospital and
restored to consciousness , The surgeons
dressed twenty cuts on her facu nnd hody.
AVIit-n she recovered she told the story given
nhovo unil gav the ofilcors a description of
her brutal lover. Kho said that he had askud
Jier for money nud bccausn she refused
Mm I uid boutcu IHT with the whlpsiork
until it tvaa hiokrn into fragmriitx. Then
Jio used tht 4-1'iu uiul Jlually .stumped again
nnd again on her prostrate body , Kho Knew
nothing of Planto'K Canadian record , as ho
had been astute enough to uecp that to him-
iclf. Plante wis ; soon arrested , but as he
wns supposed to I to an ordinary tough ho
> vis simply committed to nwaiv the result of
tlc woman's injuries. She eventually re
covered mid ho was sentenced to six months
iii the county Jail.
In Jiill ,
Pluuto had nerrou iho fli-bt month of his
n iitcncc when .Detectives Pntry and Wnlsti
wore slmivn through thy Jail. The prisoner
rtvftiinlxctl lUtr.v instantly and turned away
Ills hciut to avoid him , but ho was not quick
oiiouiili fur tlio lynx-ovcd detective , Patry
started in surprint ) ami , turning lo Walsh ,
asked him to come nnd "take u look at the

nnd the local police ofllclnlft wcro At oneo In

numerous offenses and wcro very familiar
with his fnco. Planto's tlmo will bo un some
tlmoln March , nnd the Canadian officers
will bo on hand with extradition papers to
clnp thn bracelets on his wrists the moment
ho is released.
"Plnuto Is ono of tlio most murderous
desperadoes wo hnvo over hnd to deal with , "
continued Dotcctlvo Patry. "Ho thinks no
more of stlcicing a kulfo into a man's ribs
than some men would of taking a drink , I
have arrested him for attempted
murder on two occasions previous
to the murder of the China-
man nnd thos , with his subsequent efforts to
mnko the acquaintance of n noose , stnmp
him ns a man who hesitates nt nothing. Ho

SPOKANE , Wnsh. , Nov. 2rt. A courier ar
rived hero nl 5 o'clock yestcrdny morning ,
after an nil night rldo from Welppe , with
the news thai Lieutenant Klllott hnd found
the Carlln party In the middle fork of the
Clear Water , llto miles from the nearest
town , Inst Wednesday. The lost party con
sisted of W. E. Carlln , .1. II. Pierce , A. U.
llnnmclwright and M. Spencer , guide. They
wcro In bad shape when found , being out of
provisions , nearly starved and barefoot ,
and with scarcely any clo'.hlug. ' They
wcro slowly malting their way down the
river. George Colgate , the cook of the party ,
gave out n few days before the rescue and
had to bo left and it Is feared may have died.
All possible will bo done to find him dead or
alive. The rescued and the rescuers are ex
pected hero on Tuesday mid General Carlin
will meet tlio party hero.
The story of suffering , desperation nnd
hardship told by the lost hunters was fright
ful. Ever since the heavy snows set in , in
the Bitter Root Mountains , tliey told Lieu
tenant Elliott , they had been making an
effort to return to Kcndrick , and they know-
it would takoall the will and persorCrancoof
uesperato men to keep them from perishing
of cold , fatigue and hunger. For many days
they had battled with the mountain blasts
nnd drifting snow , slowly beating their way
down the Clear Water in an.effort to reach
civilization. Thoirprogress was impeded by
the swollen river , which was often blocked
with lloatlug ico. rendering passage cxcncd-
incly dinicultand dangerous , They managed
to cross tlio Clear Water in several places at
great risk to their lives , being compelled to
wade the icy current up to their necks or
swim amid the floating blocks of ice and
snow. Nearly all iho horses died of cold
and starvation.
Many l ) ys on Half Ilntlnns.
The suffering of the men was intense.
They tramped for miles through the deep
siiow In blinding storms with scarcely any
food or clothing. The food supply , it was
seen from the lirst , would have to bo Jeal
ously guarded or else it would bo exhausted ,
and starvation would bo the result in the
event that game could not bo had , which
seemed to be quite probable. The men were
put on half rations of bacon and bread.
Their shoes had become worn out from con
stant tramping over ttic mountain rocks and
their clothing was torn into uhrcds. At last
the struggle became too much for George
Colgate , the cook of the party. Ho became
utterly exhausted and was unable to pro
ceed further. Colgate realized tlio situation
fully and advised his companions to attempt
to save themselves.
It began to appear as if all would be lost ,
and almost the only hope held out to them
was the chance of being found by n relief
Darty , which Carlin said.ho felt sure would
be sunt out to find them. The progress
through the snow was very slow , owing to
the cxhaused condition of ttio men nniftlic
extreme cold. Rut they pushed ahead with
the spirit of desperation , determined to work
for tneir deliverance so long as they were
able to move.
When Lieutenant Elliott and his brave
nnd sturdy snowshocrs came upon the ex
hausted men in the middle fork of
the Clear Water they were bravely
fighting their way through the snow ,
but the reception they gave the gallant
oftlcer and his men was more than a wel
come. Men who for weeks had been strug
gling almost against hope know they were
saved and they wept for joy. They were
given plenty of food , porno clothing , and ,
after a rest , the Elliott parly , proceeded on
to where Colgate was left , with the hope of
saving him if possible.
Mr. Carllu'g Story.
Mr. Carlin. in speaking of their experi
ence , said that they had enjoyed excellent
sport up to .within four- weeks ago , when
snow began falling and continued almost
constantly. About thrco weeks aco. dudnsr
a lull in the storm , the party broke camp for
a moose hunt at the head of
Clear Water river. A fierce snow
storm and blizzard again set in unil they
soon realized that they wcro lost. Then be
gan a fearful struggle between thorn and
death. The snow soon became so deep that
their horses became worthless and wcro
abandoned. For days they struggled nnd
floundered through snow seeking to recover
the lost trail. The snow becoming deeper
and deeper they wcro obliged to discard all
baggage and part of their provisions , oven
some of their outer garments. Later
they began to suiter torture from cold nud
hunger nnd their shoes bccomo worn
through , i'hoy bundled their feet ns best
they could. They were in dhpair of over
getting uut alive and could uot have sur
vived much longer.
Word to His I'lit'ior.
The Cnrlln party has been out since Sep
tember 15 and the Elliott relief party was
titliid out In Spokane by Captain Morrlnm
two weeks ago , and loft for the Hitter Hoot
mountains by way of Ifoiidrick , Idaho , hav
ing boon two weeks in reaching the lost
hunters. Captain Merriam , who has been
walling'In Spokane ivith tlio intention of
lilting out another party of snovvshocrs and
taking command himself Miould those that
are out fail , received the following tele
gram ;
To fUr-TAiN MintuiAM : Mcutoimnt Klllott
found the lost party on the 2M ! , All won ex
cept 1'olgatc , who Is not yut found. Itecall all
searchers. \V. 1' . OAIII.IN ,
Captain Mcrrlam was scon tills evening.
His voice was not steady , and two hlif team
came into his eyes when ho was asked about
tlio lost party. "Yes. 1 know that country
well , " ho said , ' -and it scorns as if some
higher power must have given the poor boy
and his associates groitor slreiiL'th , It is
ono of the hardest countries to irot ovnr in
the world. Just think of it , and no provisions
cither. U is a wonder to mo that they are
not nil dead , but I think It would ttavo
killed General Carll'i to have learned that
his son was dead , The general will meet
the party In Spokane next Monday night or
Tuesday.1

Clirlftlliinlty The Sermon.
Ilov. Newton Mann yesterday morning
preached on "Kaith and Works" at Unity
chiirch. The basis of his remarks was the
words of the author of the epistle of St.
James ( whom ho declared to ho one of Iho
members ot .lames' partv and not the apontlo
himself ) : "Show mo thy faith wlthoJt thy
works , and I will show thco my faith by my
works. "
Dr. Mann was careful to point out to his
hearers that the words "faith" nnd "works"
were neither of them used In tlio same scnso
in the text as they are commonly under
stood now. In explanation of the present
usage of the word "faith , " ho said : "Faith
has to do with belief , Implies trust In unseen
things , confidence hi uhat cannot ho fully
demonstrated , rcliaiico upon inward and
spiritual powers. In common parlance It
goes much further and means acceptance of
what is apparently incredible ; the taking
something on authority without testimony ,
and oven against testimony. So the word
has acquired to the cars of tin * thoughtful
an unpleasant sound , suggestive of super
stition and mental stolidity.
Faith In Slgiig nnil OIIIOIIR.
"Wo hear it disparagingly said of a per
son that he tins faith in signs and omens. In
lucky numbers , in a quack remedy. It Is
widely felt that in religion faith is inoro or
less of an allusion , that too much stress is laid
ou It ; that wo are really saved that is , our
well being is secured not so much by what
we bellevo us by what wo do'the ' way wo
act our part , lu almost every sect there are
two parties , the living , active , forw.ml-mov-
ing party being that of 'works , ' "
In favor of a religion of good works rattier
than a religion of correct beliefs according
to the church standards , Dr. Mann claimed
the support of much good scripture , main
taining that almost everything that Jesus
said bore that way , but ho urged a
word of warning against quoting tlio
epistles in this connection. Thcso same
words , said he. are used commonly
enough in the epistles , but their use as
watchwords is precisely reversed. The
liberal party in tlio llrat century was the
party of faith , tlio orthodox party , the party
of works. And this because the words -.vcro
used in a different sensb. Though it did not
appear so to the casual reader , Paul was
the liberal apostle , the radical leader , who
broadened Christianity into a world religion ,
while James remained a Jew and would have
kept the new religion within the limits of
Judaism. Beine a brother of Jesus , James
had undue influence with the ot nor disciples.
In the so-called epistle of James the writer
makes a modcrato protest against the doc
trine of Paul that by the works of the law
( that is the ceremonial law ) there is no
Justification. "Show mo thy faith without
thy works , " lie says defiantly , us if ho
deemed it a thing impossible.
Work * Which Paul Discarded.
"Tho formalities of the Jewish ritual were
the 'works' which Paul discarded while the
other apostles clung to them , and thence
arose a memorable contention shaking the
early church to its center.
"Similarly the word faith has drifted from
its apostolic moorings. It is a case where n
really noble word has suffered damage from
the uses it has been put to. The word has
"come to have an unpleasant sound to our
cars , suggestive of foolhardincss and the
suspension of reason , the disavowal of com ;
mon KBiisc , a slavish submission toauthority.
Paul used the worJ lu contradistinction to
the 'works of the law , " the visible rights and
ceremonies of the Jewish church. It meant
with him , not the belief in the incredible ,
but belief in the invisible , u trust in things
unseen and eternal , the inward operation of
the divine-spirit. By emphasizing faith
Paul was trying to do the same thing that
some of us are trying to do by emphasizing
morals : he wanted to sot Christianity on a
basis of inward personal righteousness. "
Kar Maries of Socturlunllin.
But in saying that the words in his text
had changed their mcaninc since they were
first written the preacher disclaimed any in-
tentcntion of belittling the value of his ,
text. On tlio contrary , ho declared that an
old text was very often improved by the
widely altered meaning that time had given
to some word or words that It contained.
And ho added that this was apparently the
case with much in the t'pistlo of James. Yet
it had to be conceded that the point which
the writer sought to make in this particular
text was lost. He was contending lor a
ready convenient way for a person to show
what faith ho was of ; works in the pveaent
sense of tire word , however truly they might
testify to the genuineness of a man's ro-
liglon , did not indicate with any promptness
or certainty what sect hn belonged to or
whether he belonged to any. As exceptions
to this rule , however , Dr. Mann mentioned
the Quakers and the Swiss Ammanites , who
wear no buttons on their clothes.
Prominence of these ear marks of sec
tarianism , however , said ho , were no longer
of importance. Indeed , to bo known as n
sectarian at all was most undesirable in
these days.Vhatwo wanted now was to
bo known as earnest men and women , zeal
ous in good works.
I'rotcme nnil I'r.ictlco.
"Our faith is our principles , our ideal of
manhood our rule of conduct. And the best
way to show this is not by profession , which
may bo only pretense , but by practice , by
the work wo do. the lives wo live. Deed is
better than creed , it has been said , but the
fact is deed is creed. l ( you believii in
honesty , you are going to bo honest ; if you
fail it is because you don't hollovo in it
thoroughly. Your failure shows that your
profession Is not to bo trusted. Yoiir action
Is oy implication the mirror of your faith ,
Your heart may deceive you. you may say
things you do not more than half mean , but
your actions , taken all in all , they are what
you mean , they are you.
Ilow Hourt * Are Toudiml ,
' 'Our ' principles are our living faith j-lrnt
above and around all this , more or less vapor-
ouu , Is what 1 may call a dreamy faith-
ideas , sentiments , which \\o dreamily enter
tain , but whloh , as thev do not possess us ,
wo cannot live up to. No preacher can paint
bcr.linilty and benevolence so divinely fair
but tiiat wo riseto embrace them as our
own ; no yearning tenderness of saint or
angel that wo do not at times fool In sym
pathy with. Our hearts are couched by the
pathos of tlio dramatist ; we weep over the
novelist's tale of woe , without being in our
lives at all remarked for kindly , generous
actions. Something there is that always
keeps us from rising to the nohluness of our
high intention. In storms of passion our
ship drifts from its theorotio courso. Cer
tain sentiments there arc lu us which are
above our performance. They are yet the
unformed subbtanco of a faith unrealized ; a
prophecy of what may bo , but is not yet. "
Iluplli'liy ol .Mankind ,
In Illustration ol this duplicity , which ho
maintalned.was more or less present in all
of us , Dr , Maun referred to the opium or iho
alcohol habit , 'i'tio worst drunkardsaid he ,
in ills moments of sobriety , theoretically bu-
liovcs in temperance. But us a whole ho
does not lean thaVthy. . His practical con
clusion , emphasised bv his conduct , is In
favorof the IndiOfletcoof his passion. Ills
faith , as shown byYiis work * , Is thnt the
path of greatest hnjminoss lies through the
excitement of .intoxication. Dreaming ,
philosophizing , ho believes in restraint ;
living , acting , ho'.bollevca In Indulgence.
"It Is this governing faltti of the llfo that
counts for good or' ' ill. It must enter into
heart and soul , master the will , dominate
the man , and dhttot the llfo.
Actliinn'Tnll the Story.
"There Is a host uf doctrines , Interesting ,
perhaps , as matters of reflection , which are
without effect upon , Iho character of the bo-
Hover ; why ahoilld iheso have first place lir
creed and calcchlsint Our leading afllnua-
lions ought to coma homo to the mind and
conscience nnd have something to do in the
shanlngof human action. Who can toll t > y a
person's actions whether ho believes In the
Trinity , or tlio atonement , or eternal punish
ment , or miracles , or any ono of n dozen
other rotlons for which ere now men have
fought one another to the death ? But you
can t'tll by a man's actions whether ho be
lieves in human brotherhood , lu equal rights ,
In Justice and benevolence. You can toll by
his actions whether ho bollovrs in the higher
law of God rectifying all the transient In
justices In the scales of eternal equity ;
whether ho believes In the power of kindness ,
In the obligation of the strong to help the
weak. Knowing a parson's character it is
passible to define his iaith in all essential
particulars. "
Dr. Mann emphasized the need for n now
classlitcatlon of religious believers one that
marked some real distinctions ? The present
classification , he complaiiiud , wns based on
distinctions that do not distinguish , since
they leave us no visible mark on the real
llfo of the subject. In conclusion ho said ;
"A good man without convictions Is as im
possible as a race horse without bones ; iuid >
what his convictions are ho she > vs by his
deeds. "

EISIIOP NEWMAN'S SERMON AT TRINITY

Trncut nnil SnloHt Trnelier Known to
Mankind- future 1'oislbltHlcn.
Bishop Newman occupied the pulpit nt
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church yester
day morning. The bishop was grouted by a
largo congregation , and his discourse upon
"Chtustlati and Agnostic , " , was Interesting
and attentively listened to.
I Tlio bishop said that ' -agnostic" is only
modern in iiamo , and that "nostic'1 is to
know and "agnostic" not to know. The
word "nostic" was used by scholars in the
early days of Christianity. Agnostic slg-
miles know nothing and apparently Is ex
pressive of noncnlty. No class of men in the
world are more autocratic or dogmatic In as
sertion than the unbelievers. Agnosticism
is tlio most cowirdly attempt to escape
religious responsibility. It can bo truce ; !
back to the days of Alexander the Groat. If
universal doubt Is accepted , all agnostics
doubt if they doubt. Agnostic is aii Intel
lectual action anil an act of intellect is as
sertion. As ii logical sequence they must
doubt if they douot.
Milirciuo Itullplcm o ! Intellect.
Jesus Christ is the wisest , truest nnd
safest teacher known to mankind. His is
a rellclon of Intellect supremely so. Ilenco
ho says , "Come and let us reason together ; "
'U'espeak ' and \vo do know\Vo : see and
testify wo hove seen. " Much attention
among Methodists is given to sensibility.
The intellect acts first ami sensibility re
sponds.Vo consider in contrast the
Chilsthm and agnostic. Tlio thoughts sug
gest themselves of iho limitation uf human
knowledge , and such limitations do not im
peach what wo do know. Perfect knowledge
belongs to a perfect being ; limited knowl
edge lo'hiiinan ' beings. Om\llmited knowledge
may come from an in Unite capacity. Teachers
of mathematics give us knowledge beyond
Newton , There are universes never reached
by the telescope. The sleatnshlp of our day
is far In advance of former generations , yet
problems of statecraft are unsolved.
Continuing , the speaker said , there are
problems in sociology demanding solution ,
and yet philanthropists are compelled to
halt and answer- questions of a lost hu
manity. So it is In religious life , and there
are questions In your minds unanswered.
There arc hypotheses by great theologians
that are unanswered. Wo hold there Is re
liability in our physical senses and intellec
tual operations.
Because of certainty we conclude we are
safe as far as we go. . We have agreca that
the testimony of.8ur senses is reliable. As
tronomy is thoaensibility of the eve. chem
istry of the eye and tasto. geology of the
eye , hence they are accepted. So as to botany
and zoology , and mathematics is of the
senses. God- Almighty is the Creator and
the sensibilities are part of-creation.
The assertion of the agnostic is that God
is unnoblo , therefore unutterable. Wo take
up the gauntlet hero and assort that God
Almighty is noblo. God is apprehensible ,
although he may not bo comprehensible. Wo
ao not say that He tills infinite t-pace , but ho
fills the universe , for where there is creation
there Is God. It is possible to got some con
ception of His eternity , and ho exists ever
lasting and e.vcrlastingly.
Architecture of .Father Tlmo.
Bishop Newman told of the assertions of
geolocisls that water wears'Stone and that
35,000 years ago there was no Niagara Falls ,
and th.it the time will oomo when there will
bo none. Then he siietchcd the story of the
columns -IIeroulcs , and the agnostic pro
claimed that the universe did not extend bs-
'yond.
The bishop said that individuality could
bo distinguished from personality. The
identity can be distinguished because of
idiosyncracics. Personality is something
that can bo distinguished from tlio b'ody ,
but belonging to that not in form. Chris
tian people nrguo from what they know to
what they do not know , for unknown sug
gests what m.\y bn known. They argue
from the scan to the unseen. The universe
is God's creation nnd everything on poor
earth is transient , and there is no mortality
for us. We believe in the ministries of good
angels and the ministries of good spirits.
The assertion that limited knowledge will
impeach what wo do not know is the worst
trash. God says wo can rely and wo do
rely. There are self-evident truths in phil
osophy.
Gllmp'o Into thn Fiitifrc.
Limitation of knowledge will bo gradually
removec1 , continued the speaker. The schoolboy - "
boy of today knows inoro of geography than
did Columbus , moro of electricity than did
Franklin , and more of light than did New
ton. Wo laugh at those who lived 100 years
ago , and so will those who live 100 years
hence laugh at us of today. 1 hey will laugh
atour telephone our palace cars our elec
tric light. The picture is already drawn bc-
fore eomc ingenious mind. Houses will bo
illuminated with metallic service , and there
will como a mellow electric llcht without a
current. Already they are telegraphing
without wires. There will be no moro
of meteorology , no moro of currents ,
and poles and wires 'will not have
to bo put under ground. Moro will bo known
of acoustics , and telephoning will bo
without wires. Wo will know more of levitation -
tation than gravitation. And some master
mind will lead and perfect the light of the
universe. They will talk of a higher con
ception of levitation , and after 100 years come
and go and they Jiavo laughed at us , another
will conic , and so on , and thus the laugh
goes down. How 1 covet my childhood that
I might witness the discoveries coming up
over the horizon. But 1 shall lire on. Life
is eternal. Divine trutli comes slowly , but
reaches us all.
CRIME IN HIGH PLACES ! It is
not strange that some paoplo do
wrong through ignorance , others from
iv failure to investigate as to the right or
wrong of n matte : ' But it is str.uigo ,
that individuals and firms , who are fully
nwnro of the rights of others , will per
sist in perpetrating frauds upon thorn.
High-toned , wealthy manufrciuring
flrms will offer and neil to retail mer
chants , articles which they know to bo
infringements on the rights of proprie
tors , and imitations of well known goods.
Wo want to sound a note of warning to
Iho retailers to beware of such imita
tions and simulations of' CAHTUliM Lrr-
TLnLiVKiiPiMA" When they are of
fered lo you , refuse thorn ; you do not
want to do wrong , and you don't want to
lay yourself liable to a lawsuit Bon
Franklin said "Honesty is the best poli
cy" ; it is just ] ns true that "Honesty Is
