Lecture on Creation.

Prof. Cunning delivered his second
lecture in the lecture room OF the Opers
House last evening. In opening he said
Man is the last born of creation, but ht
is old. He was necessity. Nature
must bring forth child who could helE
her or she must perish. Man came when
nature seemed falling into decay. Ovel
all the earth the high orders Of life
were dying out.
How old is man The historian takes
US back few thousand years and not
finding beginning cries out in despair,
"We must give it up" says learned
historian. Lost is forever lost. The
dumb past is forever dumb.
The geologist hears this cry unheed-
ing. Where history is blind science
may see. The speaker then went back
through sort of geology Of the mind
fossils in human speech, dress, customs
and superstitous-and through this
method reached the conclusion that man
had begun on continent which lies
now on the bed of the Indian Ocean,
that from this father land he reached
Asia first, then America, then Europe.
Coming to the geologic record he
showed that man was first nomad,
wandering along the shores of oceans
and lakes and banks of rivers. II is
there We should seek for his earlier
memorials. lie sketched a section
through the great Cornstock silver lode
and showed that man was in Nevada
when an arm of sea covered the Car
son Valley and before the Comstock
mine was made.
He sketched Section through the
wonderful Yellowstone park and showed
that man was there before the great
canyon was cut. He then drew one of
the English caves and the section car
ried ths evidence that man was in En-
gland before England was an island
and that he was cotemporaneous with
extinct elephants and bears. Man was
first Of all a dweller in caves. He did
not make his house, he merely choose
il.
The first men did what the first Phil
adelphians did. Philadelphians, be-
fore building houses, lived in caves
along the banks Of the Delaware. Look
where we will, to Genesis or to Geology,
we fnd the starting point of humanity
here. In all the dismal annals of
science the speaker knew Of no picture
of primeval man more dismal or more
than the picture drawn On the
pages Of job: 'From want and famine
they are solitary fleeing into the will
derness waste ard desolate. They cut
up mallows by the bushes and juniper
roots for their meat.
They dwell in cliffs Of the valleys, in
caves of the earth and in the rocks.
They are wet with the showers of the
and embrace the rock for
shelter. Behold as wild asses of the
lesert they 80 forth. Under the net
lies they are gathered together, among
he bushes they bray. | would dis
lain to set them with the dogs of my
lock.
And yet man, tattooed or woaded,
when from the prime and crushing
lown his mate, prineval man held a
,erm as the soil holds seed dropped
rom the hand of q sower.
The next lecture will be delivered
n Tuesday evening on Darwiuism, th.
question in the light of late discovery.

Accident ON the DeIaw.re n. n.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned on the streets yesterday after
neon by the report that there had been
collision on the Delaware railroad ,
and that a number of lives had been
lost. Upon investigation, however, it
was found that the affair was terribly
exaggerated, and that the accident was
very slight. 1t appears that one car at
tached to the south bound fair train
collided with one ofthe cars of the north
bound train due here at 1910 p. IN.
The first car of the excursion train was
upset, but, fortunately, nobody was in
] Jured. The north bound train was de-
iayed over two hours, and this caused
the alarm.
