ACCORDING to the latest gossip about
Lolita, the actress, her declining spirits
are due to something resembling a
a tragedy in her life. A tragedy is the
very last thing her stage performances
suggest, but the story is that among all
her admirers handsome young Phil
adelphian of good family was the only
one who ever made an impression. She
would never believe that he drank or
gambled and the wedding day was APP
pointed. Before that came, however,
he had lost S13, 900 of her money while
drunk in a gambling den. "From that
dark night" continues the story, "Lotta
made up her mind that all that men adj
mired ia her was her fortune. She
never again spoke to her erring adj
mirer, and when he sent her piteous
notes, begging her to forgive him, she
sent them back unopened. His rel
atives reimbursed her, but nobody could
give her back her faith in mankind. By
and by the young Philadelphia died.
When it was told her that he was dead
she cried bitterly, and now every time
she goes to Philadelphia she drives out
heavily yelled to the cemetery, covers
his grave with flowers, and sits there
sobbing till the sky darkens, and she
has to get back again to make ready for

Ex Gsv. Seymour on Blaine's Plan for Dis
trtbutiog the Surplus Revenue.
ISpecial Telegram to the Globe


UTICA, N. Y, Dec. 2.-E4-Gov Seymour
was asked yesterday his opinion OF
Blaine's plan for reducing the treasury
surplus. He said one very serious objec-
tion occurred to him, which was the ten
dency to lavish expenditure and the con-
sequent corruption which it would entail.
"People in a small town." said Mr.. Sey-
mour, swatch closely the township ex-
penses. These are close to their pockets.
County affairs are further removed from
the people and extravaganza is less criti-
cised. In state affairs the excessive
are still farther
from the people and the taxpayer is slow
or to realize that he pays the bills. But
if money were to be dropped by millions
iato the state treasury from foreign
source, recklessness would be apt to rule
in the expenditure. There would be
tendency to wastefulness almost irresisti-
BILE, and experience tells as that corrup-
ton would result. Mr.. Seymour said also
that he considered the plan at variance
with the spirit of the constitution, and it
tended toward further Capitalization of
power in the general government.

NATURE = GIFTS 10 LUTHER
The bright spots 1 do not deny, nor strive to
conceal. Luther was man highly gifted by
nature, capable of great undertakings, sure to
accomplish much in whatever directions he
chose to employ his talents His intellect
was of a high order, his memory most Ietentive,
his energy indomitable. He welded
most faciIe pen, both in Latin and in German.
During thirty years he wrote over 800 books or
pamphlets besides givi to Germany new
translation of the bible. He may be called the
father of the German language, as he gave
TO it in his Bible for Il and beauty which it had
not heretofore possessed, and which subsequent
writers hava been ambitious to initiate. He
was an orator, owning his audience as few ora
tors ever did. Imposing in his outward ap-
pearance, graceful in his delivery, fluent in
words, rich in imagery, gifted with powerful
and docile voice, he held his hearers spell
oouud-ralsing them above their own thoughts
and transfusing into their minds those of his
own mind, borne to them on the wings of hi
hery eloquence. He performed in the service
OF his cause plodigious labors The material
of the hero was abundant in Luther's compost
ton. he was destined 10 command attention
wherever he would speak or act. .sPlace hin. ~

merits of Luther's rebellion against the church
will examine In another lecture. But what
ever our views on this one point rebellion il at
best a mere negative work; it is q destruction,
tearing down. Merit properly consists In build
| lug up, In giving hoiier and b sttsr system of
religion than the one which has been set aside.
There vera hundreds of rebels against the
church before Luther, from Arius and Hacido-
MUS in the east to the Albinge ses and tbs Hus-
sites in the west. The prisciole of rebellion IN
itself constitutes no title to pra So In olden
modern ii ines. The positive principles in
religion which Luther specially advocated were
the private interpr tation of the scriptures
servitude of will and justification by fai tn
| only.
PRIVATE INTERPRETATION.
The private Interpretation of Scriptures. The
principle approves itself thoroughly to the ra-
tlonallst and the uubeliever in positive
Christianity. But l address myself
to those who confess that Christ
gave 10 the world a supernatural revela-
ton, which men were bound to receive, because
! the master taught it, ret because they found it
conforInable to their views and sentiments Of
such as those, ask Is not Luther's principle
destitute of all foundstion and leading directly
and logically to the rejection of all positive
Christianity? Luther never brought forward,
he never could bring forward one word from
Christ authorizing the private reading OF the
New Testament as the rule of faith. Luther
m;ls5 have known that in the early ages of Chris
tiaaity, the New Testament had not been, could
not have been the rule of faith, for either it had
not been written, or Christians did not know
what books composed the New Testament.
Luther himself proved his principles could not
be observed, snce at the very first step in the
exercise of it, the taking up the Bible into his
| hands, he showed that he had no means of know
| ing outside the church what books were or were
not sacred. He had but his taste in sacred things
to guide him. Hence hs declared that st.
Iohn's gospel ought TO be preferred
to the others; that the epistle Of st. James is
epstle nf s5raw;'' that IN the epistle 10 the He
brews there are bits Of wood, hay and straw

sullivan to Knock an OK Down.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Dec. "A promi-
nent Albany sporting man stated yester
day that while in Sullivan's saloon in Bos-
ton recently he learned that New York
men wanted to bet $1,000 that Sullivan
could not with his bare fist knock an OK
down with four blows. Sullivan said he
could do it at the first blow, and was
anxious to put up the money. An effort
was made to secure Madison squire garden
in New York for the exhibition but it
failed. It is proposed to have this trial
at Fort Hamilton about New Years day.
To avoid interference of the police it will
1T be open to the general public. It is
sid Sullivan once knocked horse down
by striking it on the side of the head.

Objectionable Again, it is plain that while in
natural religion, which is deduction from our
own reason and conscience, ones own intelli-
gence may be the judge, when
a positive code of laws,
for the intellect and the will is imposed upon
men. No one will imagine that all courts are to
be dismissed, and the Interpretation of the laws
abandoned to each subject No private final iu-
depreciation of civil statutes is left to the citizen;
neither could Christ have made each Christian the
fnal judge of what he taught or commanded.
10 have done so, would be to have proclaimed
anarchy as the normal state of the church. Lu-
ther was made soon to realize this fact. His
reformation was not in operation score of
years before there were hundreds of sectariss
each one with Bible in the hand, laundering
against and auathematizing one another. Luther
protested in vain; he was reminded of
his own principle. He reviled
and cursed Bucer, Carlstadt,
nunzer, Ocolampadius, Schwenkfeld,
Zwinglius; they simply reviled and cursed
Luther in return. Is it not plsin-whatever
the doctrine OF the practice may be. which a
man believes he finds in scripture, Luther, or
any other follower Of his principle has no right
to say word in condemnation, whether it be
for the landgrave of Hesse and Carlstadt,
blgamy, for Mun4er communism, or
Each reader will find in the written word what
he wishes to finland in Luther's teaching,
What he finds he is justified in following. In
his arg ment with Zwinglius on the Eucharist
Luther was made to realize the untenablenes
of his own principle. Zwinghus had his inter
pretation--differing from Understand back
Luther hurried to the teaching
of the church, ''from which," he
wrote, ''we have received tie Scriptures
with the principle which they all adopted, each
ore prepared creed, the result of his own read
ing, and sought to impose it upon his followers;
each one provided for his sect ministry whose
Office was to be to interpret the Bible for the
people.
The principle of private Interpretation de-
stroys ell dogmatic faith. The principles of
the servitude of the will, of the total depravity
of fallen man and Of justification by faith alone
annihilate morality

A Turkey Charmed by a Snake.

A correspondent writes from Aqua
Limma, CAL. to the Los Angeles Times
as follows: Last week in my cow cor
raj was a little snake four feet long,
and in his mouth was cotton-tail rab-,
bit. The rabbit was a sized
one, and its head was down the snakes
throat to the shoulders. 1t was fear
full sight and frightened the COWS,
also the boy who shot it with Win
chester rifle, Two days later heard
a turkey making an alarm. 1 went to
it, and a turkey, half-grown, had its
feathers all the wrong way and it's
head near the ground, and was within
eighteen or twenty inches of a black
rattlesnake, and was getting nearer.
Neither of them noticed me until 1
disturbed the snake with a stone,
taking him by surprise. The turkey
seemed to be relieved. What the
snake would have done l do not know,
but it seemed to me thai he had the
turkey under his control, and would in
a very short time have strllck it.

England'S Hangman.

The executioner of all England, the
Marwood, has been giving
his views on the general subject Of
hanging and upon his own achieve
ments in particular. The great artist
has made several bad botches lately,
but he has nevertheless an exalted
opinion of his skill. The American
method, he declares, is very bungling
and would not do in England; the
Spanish garrOte he has never seen, hut
considers it a disgrace to the country;
the guillotine is far inferior to the gal
lows as operated by Marwood, being
far more painful and less prompt, He
scouts the suggestion Of poison or cleo
tricity as an instrument of judicial
death, and declares that the condemned
should meet his fate like a man.
