Dr. Cremer, who li a theological pro
fessor In Grelfswald university, the Ger
man stronghold of orthodoxy, la recognised
ot only In his own country but through
out th religious world aa on of the ablest
and moat eloquent of the aupportera of
evangelical Christianity. Ula lecture In
reply to the critique, "What la Christi
anity," by Fro ttarnack, the foremost
of the ao-called ,'bighr critics," attracted
Instant attention throughout Germany aa
lit far the strongest of the many answers
to the attack of the brilliant Berlin pro
fessor. Naturally there has been a demand
from Anglo-Saxon Christendom for an
English translation - of Ur. Cremar's lec
tures and In response to this Funk A Wag
nails company haa published his lectures
In book form. Unlike other opponents of
Uarnsck, Vr. Cromer refuses to meet the
higher criticism upon the field that it has
chosen tor the content, vis., the critical
examination of the new testament text,
particularly that of the gospels. He denies
that the essence of Christianity ia com
prehended In the teaching of Jesus in the
four gospels, and affirms that It Is found
rather in the teachings of the evangelists
and apostles about Jesus. He holds that
the true nature of Christ and of his mls
alon was revealed to the disciples through
their realisation of ' the meaning of his
resurrection. This perception, being due
to the quickening of their spiritual sense
from above, belongs to a higher order of
truth than merely rational observation.
The soul that accepts It must be Illumin
ated by a higher, diviner light than that
of the intellect.
The He view of Reviews is unequaled

About the middle of August Mr. John
Lane will issue a new contribution to "The
Carlyle Controversy;" its title, "The Neme

it Is remembered that last month saw the
publication of Froude's posthumous pam
phlet, "My Relations With Carlyle," the
subject matter is scarcely open to specu
lation. Sir James Crlchton Browne and
Mr. Alexander Carlyle look to this volume
to clear Thomas Carlyle'e memory of the
mputatlons retailed by Oeraldlne Jewtbury
and eagerly clutched at by his biographer.
Whether Miss Jewsbury looked "a flimsy
tatter of a creature." as Mrs. Carlyle called
her, readers of "The Nemesis of Froude"
will have an opportunity of Judging for
themselves from the portrait which ap
pears as frontispiece. '
Among the prise offers In the August St
Nicholas departments are two especially In
tended to train young readers' powers of
observation and discrimination. The edi
tor of Nature and Science asks the girls
and boys to send him letters and photo
graphs or drawing of what they find on the
beach In August. The Books and Reading
department Invites brief articles from
Its readers on "Some Recent Books
for Young People." The object of this con
test, aside from the training of the con
testants. Is to learn what books published
In the last two or three years have been
enjoyed by young readers. The girls and
boys are requested not to name books that
every one knows, but those that should be
better known.
The anonymous "Reminiscences of an In
terviewer" In the Reader for August treat
of Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse,
and a new and Intimate Impression Is
given of these two famous women. Who
ever the author of this series of articles
may be, he or she can be credited with hav
ing met all the dramatic, literary and
political celebrities of the time, and Is
writing about them with unfailing enter
tainment. The sixteenth annual educational number
of the Outlook contains a really noteworthy
group of articles relating to educational
subjects. In addition to the usual Illus
trated features which distinguish the
monthly tnagatlne numbers. Among the
articles having special relation to educa
tional topics may be mentioned: An edi
torial survey of the educational history of
the year; "School Houses and Beauty," by
President Ira Remeen of Johns Hopkins
university; "Sanitary Schools," by Mrs.
Ellen II. Richards; "The Practical Religion
of the College Girl," by Alice K. Fallows,
with typical photographs of college girls
drawn by John Russell; "The Educated
Women of Tomorrow," by Helolse E.
Hersey, and "Recent American College
Architecture," by Prof. A. D. F. Hamlin
of Columbia university, illustrated by many
original drawings of specially picturesque
and Important architectural achievements
of recent date In American colleges.
A feature of the Delineator for September
Is an exhibit of samplers, which are con
tained In a number of famous art collec
tlonc In America. Although faded and dust
stained, these bits of needlework are none
the lefts prized, and the beauty of design
and coloring is yet discernible. The range
of the collection is wide, embracing quaint
specimens from colonial mansions and bits
of gorgeous color from the land of the csar.
The farm houses of New England are also
represented,' and 'these samplers are per
haps the most interesting, on account of
the quaint sentiments Inscribed on them
by the demure little workers. The Ephrata
Sampler, the oldest in America, Is shown,
and Is a unique specimen of needlework.
Another remarkable example is a repro
duction of Landseer's famous painting
representing Cromwell's soldiers ransacking
the house of the. marquis of Winchester.
The August Criterion offers some enter
taining mid-summer reading. Among the
prominent articles are a timely paper on
"The Russo-Amerlcan Conquest of Man
churia," by Alexander Hume Ford, dealing
with the great engineering and railway
schemes now being pushed forward in the
far east. Judge Clinton R. Woodruff's
thoughtful exposition of the modern fac
tors of "The Civic Renaissance;" an Inter
esting paper of personal recollections of the
famous "Duke of Argyll" and the "Marquis
of Dufferin," by General James Grant Wil
son, and an amusingly clever article by
Florence K. Russell, devoted to an army
woman's first experiences in Zamboanga,
in the Philippine Islands. Some peculiarly
excellent fiction appears in the number.
"The Great Northwest" continues to be
the subject of a series In the Century Maga
slne, by Ray Stannard Baker, who, in the
midsummer holiday number, August, under
the title of "A Place of Marvels," describes
the Yellowstone park as It now la Follow

FRICTION ON POLICE BOARD IS DEVELOPED

t Sleeping While ea
Ilety.
A meeting of the Fire and Police Board
was held in the council chamber last night
Several communications asking the board
to grant societies the privilege of holding
Sunday entertainments and picnics at
gardens where beer is sold were read. Nolan
suggested that these four communications
be referred to the chief of police, the under
standing being that as long as order pre
vailed the police will not Interfere. Some
weeks ago the board adopted a resolution
prohibiting dancing and entertainments tn
buildings where beer was sold. The sheep
butchers secured a modification of the order
and the board seemed to think that as long
as the Ice had been broken other unions
and societies should not be barred. Since
the adoption of the order there has not
been a single enforcement and societies
having made arrangements for entertain
ments prior to the passing of the resolution
will hardly be interfered with.
Charges were preferred by Chief Brlggs
against Patrolman E. J. Pierce, The officer
Is charged with sleeping on duty. In a turn
about play Officer Pierce filed charges
against Captain Troutan. It la asserted
that Troutan was Bleeping In Miller's
restaurant for two hours when he was sup
posed to be on duty. Chief Brlggs was di
rected to prefer charges In the proper form
against both the captain and the officer,
and a meeting will be held tonight to listen
to testimony in both cases.
The need of patrol boxes was brought up
and at the suggestion of one of the mem
bers Chairman Vansant appointed a com
mittee composed of Nixon, Masson and
Bergquist to confer with the officers of the
Nebraska Telephone company regarding the
cost of instilling a system of police patrol
boxes.
Mr. Nolan made the statement that the
city attorney had refused to represent the
board in the quo warranto proceedings now
pending in the supreme court and he
recommended that special counsel be em
ployed to defend the board. The board fell
In with the idea and arrangements will be
made to employ attorneys to look after the
Interest of the board In this matter.
There was a petition presented to the
board for signatures asking the mayor to
pardon Guy Roberts, who Is serving a thirty
days' sentence for robbing the till of Tim
Munger. After considerable discussion the
petition was placed on file, the under
standing being that the members would call
upon the mayor as Individuals and ask for
the release of young Roberta.
Considerable interest is manifest In the
trial of Captain Troutan and Officer Pierce

there is considerable friction and Jealousy

Chief Brlggs was directed to provide a

but 1s expected home on Sunday. The la
bor representatives ' will meet on Monday
aa per a previous arrangement It is un
derstood that the beef boners want an in'
crease of 25 per cent in wagea Commenc
ing September 1 about 350 beef boners are
employed at the packing housea This
work keep up for about five months. In
the spring and during the summer only
about forty beef boners are at work. As
the scale of wages in other departments
has been amicably adjusted It Is presumed
that there will be no difficulty In coming
to an agreement with the beet boners.

TNNISFAIL. Albert. July 15 -To the Ed
itor of The Bee: A short eccount of my
Impression of Western Canada, derived
from a recent visit there, might prove of
Interest to your reader. Comprising, a II
doe, nearly one-fourth cf the North Amer
ican continent It Is surprising to me that
this vast expanse of territory, rich beyond
measure, ha been hidden away, a It were.
for centuries and known only to the In-1
dlan. th Hudson Bay fur trader and
the missionary father.
With a lay of land similar to that of
Illinois, soil a rich, black loam, renins
from two to severtt feet deep, underlaid
with a clay subsoil, and with a fertility
capable of producing from forty to slxy
bushels of fall and spring whest testing as
high as sixty-six pound to the bushel; of
ninety to 110 bushels of oats, testing as
high a fifty-two pound to the bushel:
barley, forty to sixty-five bushel-to the
acre, testing as high a sixty-eight pounds
to the bushel; rye, fifty-five bushels per
acre; potatoes, 600 bushels, and timothy
producing two and a half to three tons of
hay per acre. The native grase are the
most nutritious I have ever seen, on which
cattle, horses and sheep are raised the
year round, often with no other feed what
ever, nor even artificial shelter, and on '
which beef steer are grown and topped j
ore weighing from 1.600 to 1.800 pounds.
Dairying In Alberta Is reported as excep
tionally successful. Hogs also thrive
splendidly and I was surprised to see the
great number raised. Hog cholera Is un
known and the farmer from the com belt
country are beginning to learn that a bet
ter hog can be grown on oats, barley and
rye than on corn. The climate, a far as
I can learn from the oldest settler, Is
similar to that found between the 40th and
st parallels In the states, snd the long,
warm sunshiny days of twenty-one hours,
from 2 o'clock to "13" o'clock, leaving but
three hours of night In midsummer, facil
itate the wonderful growth and quick ma
turity of vegetation.
Your readers will no doubt say that this
I picturing this new country in glowing
term, and that the bright side only Is
given. It of course has It dark sides, and
while the yields quoted have been pro
duced. It could not be expected that every
rarmer or stock raiser could produce or
obtain them any year. My Intention Is
merely to show the possibilities of the
country
The darkest spot and the greatest draw-
back to the rapid development of this
country Is caused by the eastern syndicate.
A syndicate from New York purchased a
large tract of land in central Saskatche
wan, 2,000,000 acres, at $2.60 per acre, and
I now selling this land at 9 per acre. It
would not require an expert to figure out
Its profits. The Canadian Northern Rail
way Is heading for this section, and when
It passe through these land will be sold
at from 412 to $15 per acre. This Is not all,
for other syndicates have purchased large
blocks of land at like figures and are not
offering It for sale at all. Their rapacity
may be checked, however, through an act
now being framed by the Dominion Parlia
ment called the "Graduation of Taxation"
bill, which will have the effect of compel
ling these syndicates, to throw their lands
on the market
In northern Alberta, are found settlements
of Doukhobors, Icelander and Galiclans,
who are rapidly accustoming themselves
to their new condltjon. In other parts
are to be found many Canadians from the
eastern provinces who are fan Industrious
and quiet '.people,, and who' welcome the
Americans with their capital and their en
terprise as a harbinger of booms and quick
development of the ..country.

all kinds are very little known and per

The report was confirmed at midnight by
a telegram to headquarter from Captain

The first news that an engagement was
In progress reached this city about 10
o'clock. At that time heavy firing was
heard in the direction of Southla Omahaia.
After two hours of cannonading It was re
ported that 15,000 Filipinos had been killed
and skinned and their hides hung on the
fence to dry. Later this was proven to be
false. '

by the attacking party began without pre
liminaries. From the Inside there came an
answering volley. Then a deafening roar
that made the earth tremble. Red sheets
ot flame shot up everywhere. The great
grandstand erected by the nobles from
which they watched the last of the once
famous 'Rourke family go down In de
feat, crowded with natives, became a mass
of waving flags and yelling enthusiasts,
completely drowning out the shrieks and
wails of the dying and wounded. Lieu
tenant Baehr rallied his men and charged
and charged again, and he was repulsed
and driven back each time. It was bucking
a stone wall.
Historic Moment Repeated.
With a yell the Rifles broke from their
cover and charged the attacking party. It
was the First Nebraska and "all hell
couldn't stop 'em." The Filipinos were
driven from the field. The victory was
complete and the dead came to life.
The fight was watched wtth much Inter
est because both the 'Omaha Guard and
the Thureton Rifle were favorites with the
people of this vicinity. For hours before
the fight they had entertained a large num
ber of spectator In a most pleasing man
ner. This prelude to the great fight was
opened with a descriptive musical concert
by the Twenty-second infantry band. Then
came a dress parade, in which the Rifles,
the Guards and the band participated. This
ws good, but It was Just an eye-opener for
what was to come. The battl drill by the
Thureton Rifle and the bar bell drill by the
same company divided honor with the six
teen picked men from the Guard who gave
a fancy drill. These were the mot enjoyed
