The origin of Man.

In New York city recently Rev. M
Richardson lectured on the origin Of
man. He took up the theories advanced
by rationalists, by scientific free-think,
ers and infidels in regard TO the creation
aud by the statement of their PROPOSE
tons showed their absur6ity, and then
by scientific testimony demonstrated
their falsity
The development theory, said Mr..
Richardson, Of Darwin, Huxley, Owen,
and others Of that schoRl was shown by
their own statement to Be without foun-
dation in fact or in science.
Geology does not furnish n solitary
fact in confirmation of the development
theory that one species has grown out OF
another-that the higher have come from
the lower-but on the contrary it gives
numerous and varied proofs of separate
and distinct forms Of life in each geo
logical period, from the lowest form OF
radiates to the highest type Of man, all
through the ages of molluses, fishes,
reptiles, birds and mammals. Besides, the
operation of natural laws forbid the devel-
opment Of species by minging. You may
have your mule, said the speaker but
Nature plants her foot down and says he
shall not propagate his kind The sup
posed evidence of the existence of lower
races Of men assumed by the advocates
of the stone age" the bronze age,
etc., was shown to be no evidence at all,
as matter Of scientific history, for in
Russia, to-day, there are tribes carrying
on agricultural and other work with
stone and wooden tools, while we use
iron and steel
DIR. Livingston has found in Central
Africa negro tribes living at an elevation
Of 1000 feet above the table land, who
manufacture and use as fine tools as ours
while their neighbors along the coast
swamps are hammering away with
stones, or digging with spoons. II

some future archaeology might with

of those differing implements Of
husbandry, or of art or manufactures re.
presented so many different ages. and
that most like our own were owned and
used by the most civilized and highly
cultivated. They all exist at the same
time. Mr.. Richardson subsequently de
monstrated how, by the operation Of
physical laws, men and nations rise
higher or sink lower in the scale of hui

The Buildings Under Fire.

The two finest palaces in Paris are
the Tuileries and the Luxembourg, the
last now a prey to the shells of the en-
envy. 1t was in 1912 that Maria de
Medici resolved to build this palace for
her residence, and after five years it was
completed to the entire satisfaction of
the regent. With the exception of some
changes in the interior of the building,
the Luxembourg did not undergo many
alterations up to the time that Louis
Philippe reigned over the destinies Of
France. The changes then effected en-
abled the Corps Legislatif to hold
their sittings in the commodious halls,
and to find room for their valuable
library. But the Luxembourg has
not always been a palatial residence.
During the revolution it became a prison,
and Camille Desmonlins, Danton, and
hundreds of others less noted in the an
nails of France, had TO go to the Luxem-
bourg, there TO await the cruel DEGREES
during the reign Of terror. After the
revolutionary storm had passed, the
Luxembourg once more became a verit-
able palace, but it was not till 1917 that
the great gallery forming its left wing,
and which today is known as the Mu-
scum Of the Luxembourg, was dedicated
TO the fine arts.
The Church Of st. Sulpice is situated
in parish which before the revolution
was considered the richest in Paris. A
large number Of pictures adorn the walls,
among which one by Eugene Delacroix,
representing Jacob and the Angels, has
always been considered great work OF
art. st. Sulpice is well known for itH
grand ceremonies, which always attrae
thousands to its portals on solemn festi
walls. The feast Of St. Fiacre, the patron
saint Of gardeners, is usually observed
there on the 55tn OF august, with extra
ordinary pomp. The Church Of Waldo
Grace, built by Anne Of Austria in graf
itude to God for the birth Of Louis XIV,
Is one Of the relics Of the middle ages.
Francois Manrard furnished the plans
for the building, which Of late has been
used as a military hospital
The Odeon theater was hnilt in the
year 1913, but il was not until 1852 that
Il was opened 10 the public under the
name Of Theater Franchise, which was
changed TO Theater de la Nation, IN
1890. Il was burned 20 the ground n
1886 and rebuilt in 1909. when il wa
named the Odeon. In 1919 this theateI
was again partly destroyed, but was soor
repaired

Charges of Corruption against
General BuGIer-Aiabama Claims
Special Consideration To-Day.
WASHINGTON, January 24.-The in
vestigation by the House Military Com
mittee into the charges against General
Butler, made by General Farnsworth, of
corruption in the management of the
affairs Of the soldiers homes, was re-
sumed yesterday. Colonel Weitzel, of
Baltimore, and Captain Fsrnold, late OF
the Wisconsin home, at Milwaukee, were
examined. Their testimony mainly re
lated to the character Of the appointees,
who, under Buffers supervision, have
filled official positions in connection
with this institution, and included the
statement that Butler has not always
followed the rule prescribed by the
Board of Management, to appoint dis
abled officers only to those places, but
that during the recesses of the Board he
has taken advantage of his position as
President to give those places to his
personal friends without regard to other
qualifications. 1t is stated that General
Farnsworth will, before the Investigation
is closed, introduce testimony showing
that of the $4,000 paid by the Govern
ment in the purchase of the home at
Augusta, Maine, only $4,000 was re-
ceived by the owners of the property
The Committee on Foreign Affairs met
to-day for the special consideration Of
the Alabama claims, and putting them
in shape for settlement. The proposition
which is before the committee most likely
to receive its sanction, is bill to APP
point commission to take testimony for
the purpose of determining the amount
Of claims The proposition that the
Government shall assume the claims
does not command sufficient strength to
get the appropriate majority of the COM
mittee 1t is proposed to provide in the
bill authorizing the commission, that the
British Government shall have the priv
ilege of appearing if it shall choose to
do so. The committee will be ready to
report this week.
The Ways and Means Committee have
not yet considered the House resolution
instructing them to inquirefnto the ex-
pediency of repeating the income tax,
but it has been developed beyond ques-
ton that majority of the committee
favors its repeal. The sentiment for re-
peal grows stronger in the House every
day. The bill for repeal is a special
order for Tuesday in the Senate.
A well-nigh successful effort was made
in the House yesterday to extend the ju-
risdiction Of the Court of Claims to loyal
war claimants of States lately in rebel
lion, 1t required two-thirds vote to
suspend the rules, and the vote stood at

rHE RELEASED FEEIANs.

The New York Star, ON the subject oil
the released Fenian prisoners, makes
the following just deductions from the
acts of the British government toward
Liberalism in ireland:
The release of the Fenian prisoners,
most of whom were condemned to ban,
;sbment for life, and all of whom to penal
servitude. is not merely significant OF an
acknowledgement on the part of the
british government of the necessity OF a
change Of tactics toward Ireland, but is
also one of the symptoms of that disco
mtion of political 0rangeism which the
Overwhelmingly gave reason to hope Tor.
The Establishment was the cardinal cen
ter of life to that political party which
was called by the name OF Orangeism,
merely TO draw into it such Protestants
AZ could be influenced against the inter
ests Of Liberalism by the revival OF an
cient feuds and religious ammoslties'
0rapgeism is, in fact, an endowed party,
and rs existence as such was rendered
nossible only by the existence OF an en-
lowed religion. That being taken away,
The other must sooner or later fall. The
real f;ght between the Orangemen and
their opponents has been for years, not
as some would like to make 1t appear a
continuance Of the old animosltles when
FIRST gave rise to the Society, but has
been a piece Of political enginery IN the
hands Of men who are opposed to the
snirit of Irish Republicanism. 1t has
been kept alive for the purpose OF en-
barrassing the Irish Government when
ever men of liberal views were in oihce,
and as we said before, its main support
lay in the Establishment. Inc prodnne: !.
and nrop of factions ascendancy 1t
m u"r have It's death-blow in the extinc.
tion of that ascendancy. The release OF
the Fenian prisoners is, We believe, but
the first of many concessions which,
however ungraciously granted, England
will be forced to make to the cause OF
Liberalism in Ireland.
