A DEFENSE OF THE THEORY AND AN ANSWER
TO DR. TALMAGE.
From the Philadelphia Times, Oct ls
A defense of Evolution was the subject Of
DIR. Robert Collyer's lecture at Spring Garden
institute last night. 1t was a reply to Dr. Tai
images address on "Absurdites OF Evolution"
and was a scientific explanation OF the origin of
the species and the development Of man from
the lower orders Of creation. The doctor de-
scribed the evolution Of the living cell and the
lower form of life from the protoplasmic germ
and bridged the chasm between the species and
between the animal and man. at il impossi-
BILE, the lecturer said, ''for The microscopist to
distinguish between the primal cell of the ape
and the cell OF man, so great is the similarity
between the cells from which man and the ami
mails have sprung. There is not as much Diff
ference between highest anthropoid apes and
the lowest man as there Is between an Anda-
man and a Newton. In different parts OF the

weakest must suffer and go to the wall and the
strongest will prevail. Biologists have found
that each strata has its own peculiar fossils and

Expensive English Nonsense.

From the London Truth
am sorry to hear that, in accordance with
the usual discreditable practice, an application
Is TO be made to parliament for the amount of
the fees charged for admitting Prince Henry
of Battenberg to the order of the Garter. The
vote will certainly be opposed, and it is to be
regretted that the queen should have been SO
ill-advised; for hear that her majesty was dis
posed to pay the amount herself but that some
wooden headed officials about the court persisted
that this would be creating an Involvement
precedent 1t strikes me that it will be con-
siderable more incOnvenent If the vote be re-
lected by the house OF commons. Within the
last two years over FL 900 has been paid for
Garter fees of the Prince of Wales sons, and.
including the cost of special missions, upwards
OF 100000 has been paid by the public during
the present reign on account Of the .'extra5
RoyaD knights of this order. When the queen
came to the throne there were only five or six
extras, but now there are no fewer than
twenty-eight, the blue ribbon having of late
years been scattered about Europe with a very
lil;1udged profusiOn. Nothing is more absurd
than the custom of invariably presenting q
royal knight with the full trappings of the state
costume, which cost some $500, and are never
worn There is only one case known during the
last thirty years OF a knight having arrayed
himself In his full Dress and this was a certain
German princelet who desired to have his por-
trait painted in this quaint garb.

Baritone Cartoons Admirer.

Biakely HAN In san Francisco ArgOnaut.
Something original occurred at the Casino the
other night Mr.. Carlton was singing in INA
nOn'' with the success that has thus far done
much to enhance his reputation, when a lady
gan to attract the attention of the audience It
Is said that she has been very steady in her at
tendance at the theater while Mr.. Carlton has
been singing there, and her rapt admiration for
the baritone attracted attention. Carlton is less
ever knew. He is vigorous thrifty domestic
and has good business ability. On the street he
usually lounges about-or rather hurries about,
for he is apparently always in haste-in BUSH
ness Clothes and on the stage one misses the
Sleeps eyes and grimaces which tenors and
baritones usually cast at the pretty women in
the audience. The woman In the box at the
casino the other night was not particularly
beautiful, nor was she dangerously young but
there was no question about her admiration for
the baritone. Every time he came on the stage
she leaned forward from the box and stared nj
him souliully. When he lett the stage she sank
back In a chair listlessly, and did not exhibit
the slightest interest in any one else's perfOrm-
ance. When Carlton sang the waltz song i'm the
second act the feeling OF his admirer in the box
became unmanageable, and she rose and threw
him huge bouquet. AS she did So q large
square envelope fell from the mass of roses The
baritone tossed the flowers carelessly on the
moor Dehlnd the scenes, picked up the note
stepped forward, burned IL TO IA crisp over the
footlights, and resumed his song without ever
changing muscle OF his face. ANYTHING more
painful than the appearance of :he woman in
the box would be impossible TO imagine. The
very wrinkles in her face spelled modification
as she hurried from the theater.

The Crusade Against PoIygany.

Aurelius Miner, formerly a prosecuting attor-
ney and at one time assistant United States at
torney in Utah, was sentenced in Salt Lake
City Saturday to six months imprisonment in
the penitentiary and fined $500 for unlawful
cOhabitatiOn. There was a curious argument
between Judge Zane and Miner in court. The
judge asked Miner If he had not once sworn to
defend the laws of the United States. Miner
said he had, but that for thirty years he had
considered some of the laws Unconstitutional.
When asked if he presumed to decide what laws
were valid and what not he said he did. Judge
Zane told him sternly that, being q lawyer and
an officer of the court, the wrong in his case
was the greater, as he could not plead igno-
rance. The judge gave notice that next Satur-
day Miner would have an opportunity to show
cause why his name should not be stricken
from the roll OF members of the bar. w. D.

Why the Parliament Work ed SO Well.

lie
NEARLY ALL THE MEMBERS HAD INFLUENZA
AND COULDN'T TALK.
From the London Standard.
An epidemic of influenza has lately deprived
several of the leading members of the Brisbane
legislature Of their voices; and, under these ex.
traordinary conditions OF vOiceless speaker
presiding over a dumb parliament, business is
said to progress with more satisfactory dispatch
and tranquility. Never, SO we read, ''in the
whole history of the colony, has legislation
made such rapid progress as In the present SEES
sion,' owing to the speechlessness OF all the
more argumentative and verbose individuals
composing the chamber. measures which
ordinarily would have provoked strenuous OPP
position, measures about which many opinions
might fairly have been expressed, have passed
at the rate of two and three day, and govern
ment never had matters so much all their own
way before. The secret of it is the bitterly cold
winds that ushered in the month. Legislators
were not prepared for them, and the result Is
that almost the entire opposition have been
rendered speeches." What o pleasing subject
for contemplation this affords-a parliament
composed OF only silent members!
