WAS GARFIELD AN AGEOsT7C

WAS GARFIELD AN AGNOSITC
can Inquirer" in the New York
Hour makes this inquiry about the
late President
Is it true that the absence of any
clergyman from the death bed of the
late President explains matter
which has been well-knOwn in
Washington, but Of which the gen
eral public has not been informed
Mr. Garfield in early life was q
Campbellite, and sometimes occu
pied the pulpit but being an ed
ucated man and abreast of his times,
he, during the last ten years, read
the works of Darwin, Tyndell, HuX-
ley, Draper, BONE and other scien-
tific writer's, and John Stuart Mill.
His intimate friends say that he
seemed particularly impressed with
the views of Herbert Spencer. There
are frequent references in his elab-
crate speeches to the works of sci
entific agnostics of our times. But
Mr.. Garfield, like ten thousands of
persons in the churches, not only
kept his heterodoX views to himself,
but kept on such kindly relations
with the sect of which he was for
merly a lay preacher, that their
leaders and preachers supposed him
to be still one of them. This he
could do with the more confidence,
as the Disciples, as they call them
selves, renounce dogmas of all kinds,
and ask of their members nothing
but that they should follow the ex-
ample of Christ. Lord Beaconsfeld,
it will also be remembered, died
without ministration from the hands
of a clergyman. While paying all
outward respect to the church Of
the great English Tory |
was either Jew in his private be-
liefor else a skeptic of the eighteenth |
century type. His repeated and
brilliant eulOgies of the Jewish race
in his novels show that he was
proud of his lineage, and lead to the |
suspicion that he may have believed |
in the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, while the tenor of his life |
and works gives an impression of
the mocking, cynical temper toward
things religious which characterize |
VOltaire and the men of his epoch. |

JUDGE PERsHINa, of Schuy

JUDGE PERSHING, OF Schuylkill
county, Pennsylvania, just decided
q case in his court which presents
some almost forgotten features of
the law of that State against
swearing. John Fl. Bashere, an
excitable and somewhat profane
citizen of the county, on q recent
occasion got off q volley of twesty-
three separate and distinct oaths,
for which he was arrested, taken
before q Justice of the Peace, and,
under the law OF April %, 1894,
fined $16.08. This fine he refused
to pay. He was committed to jail,
aud the case was taken before
Judge Pershing on writ of certi-
orari. The act of 1894 provides
that:
"If any pc rson of the age of 16
years or upwards shall profanely
curse or swear by the name of God,
Christ Jesus, or the Holy Ghost,
every person SO offending, being
thereof convicted, shall forfeit and
pay the sum of sixty.seven cents
for every such profane curse or
oath. = And whosoever of
the age of Is years or upwards shall
curse or swear by any other name
or thing than as aforesaid, and
shall be convicted thereof, shall
fo1feit and pay the sum of forty
cents fer such curse or oath.n
Exception was taken to the rul-
ing of the Justice on the ground
that the arrest of Bashere should
have been by summons and not by
warrant, and suit should have been
brought by an individual informer
instead Of in the name of the Com
monwealth. The exceptions were
ovsrruled, the decisions of the
higher courts being that the action
was brought. But the JUSTICE
failed to return the evidence taken
before him, and this omissioD|
Judge Pershing decided to be fatal
to the proceedings, and he there.
upon reversed the decision of the
magistrate. The point of the de-
cision, however, Is in the pithy
conclusion with which Judge
Pershing wound up his decision.
He says:
"The general prevalence of pro-
fame swearing Indicates that the
statute under which this defend
ant was convicted had long been
buried out of sight. Perhaps its|
resurrection In this case may 40.
complish some good, by showing
those who have no regard for the
law of God that the law of the land
imposes on them a penalty of from
forty to sixty-seven cents, to be
followed by. imprisonment, accom-.
panied by diet of bread and wa
tor, on refusal to pay for each and
every time they pollute the atmos-
pbere with their profanity"

PRESIDENT GARFIELD DEAD.

.
At last the sad news has come.
The President Is dead. The strong,
patient, gentle man has yielded to
the angel of death. Although fer
weeks his life has been hanging Oh
= thread. the news Of his death has
sent a thrill of sorrow through
every heart. The high Magistrate
of the nation has fallen victim to
the assassin's bullet. In this mo-
msnt of the supreme sorrow of q
nation words are powerless. To
the widowed heart now feeling
Agoniss unutterable, our sympathy
goes forth, praying that God may
lavish upon it all His mercies.

THE progress which has been
made in Palestine during the last
twenty-five years, is especially ev-
|ident Ia the erection of many new
buildings. In jerusalem, inside
the town, ruined houses have been
restored or rebuilt. Outside the
old town are entirely new suburbs,
the extension being made psrtiou-
larly toward the west. The Jews
have formed among themselves
building societies, which have
erected long, barrack-like build.
ings, adapted for several families.
The number of dwellings during
he last twenty-five years has been
trebled. Bethlehem conveys the
impression of newly built town.
In Jaffa the town wall mas been
demolished, the ditch filled up,
and a number of new houses and
magazines, even palstiel buildings
have been erected. so also, in the
gardens of Jsffa many new houses
have been erected, and to the south
and north of the town complete
: Arabic suburbs, mostly by settlers
from Egypt: In Rsmleh, ALSO
new houses are seen, still more in
Kaifa. Nazareth has increased in
size, and looks as If it had been re.
built. Tiberias also has its new
houses; In Jenin a new military
arsenal has been erected, as also in
Nablas, along with fine new bar.
rack. In the latter place the once
lonely valley toward the east has
assumed quite a bomely aspect, and
in the town are many new private
buildings, and also O new khan;
there are also the new aehool, the
Roman monastery, and the build
ings Of the Protestant mission. In
Bethlehem new barrack and ar
senal have been erected. Through
the schools and the increasing
trade the working people have ac-
quired greater style and taste, and
the newer houses are thus mostly
a great Improvement on the old
not the oldest, which, So rule,
are we'll built. Nearly all the
houses have now glass windows, q
rare thing twenty years ago.
