The public school, supported by the equal

and the home give ample scope for all indi-

Prof Harris PHILOSOPHERS.
Professor W. 7. Harris says that religious
instruct on in the public schools is inexpedi-
ent on the ground that they are for all citi.
zens, whatever their religious belief or no
belief. Ii is the conviction of the average
American citizen that rights of private con-
science must be respected, and that church
and state must be entirely separate He OPP
poses religious instruction in the pubic
schools, also for this reason. Religious truth,
he says, is revealed in allegoric and SYM
bolic form, aud is TO be appreciated not
merely 10y the intellect, but by the mag
nation and the heart The analytic under
standing is nece ssarily hostile and skeptical
I'm its at .itude toward religious truth, and the
minglinl Of religious and secular instruction
cultivates fiippant and shallow reasoning ON
sacred themes The child is not able to grasp
the nationality Of dogma. In parochial
schools the influence OF the dogmatic tone
creeps in to the secular recitations and drives
out a des irable critical slertness and investi-
eating spirit, and STILES independent think
ing Nj Harris cites the "infidelity' in
German as an argument against religion in
the schools In Germany, he says, where the
critical, alert method of investigation pre-
walls the religious lessons suffer because the
pupils n ind is not in a proper frame to re-
cslve them. In other countries the dogmatic
tone of religion renders the secular education

Four Lives Known To Be Lost
at YOUNGSTOWN, N. Y.
RAILWAY DISASTER IN MEXICO.

Two Men Killed and Twenty Seriously In
Jured-Heavy Rains Undermine the
Track-Destructive storm at Green's
burg. Pa.-Corn and wheat Destroyed,
Trees Uprooted and Buildings Wrecked
Gravel Trains In Collision.
SCHENECTADY, n. ", July ll.-There is
as yet no certainty of the loss of more than
four lives at Johnstown, N ", and these
victims were on a bridge viewing the food
after the storm. They were Charles Frear
and two men named Conkley and Yost and a
boy named Steadwell They had been
warned to keep off the structure, as it was
considered dangerous. One end of the bridge
dropped into the water, but was not carried
away. 1t was about % feet high and Is or
81 feet wide.
Other Damages.
Two iron bridges of the Johnstown, Fonda
and Gloucester railroad were also wrecked
and seven or eight other bridges were car
ried away. Two tanneries owned by Simon
Schriber were swept away and the Schriber
and Anderson dams were broken down. The
water in the Caysdutta creek began to rise
at 4:s0 and the stream was soon converted
into raging torrent
Rescuins the Drowning.
OF the men, women ami children who were
thrown into the water by the breaking of
stone bridge the largest number were saved
by means of ropes thrown TO them from the
shore. The fatal rise in the Csvadutta was
very sudden, and is attributed to the effects
OF cloud-burst Besides the sweeping away
of the bridges and the tsnneries there is
much damage to buildings which are yetleft
standing.
Estimatess of the Losses
The loss to property in Johnstown is esti-
mated at from S5O. coo to 10000, and the
loss outside of the city at perhaps $4,000
more. The railways are rapidly getting into
shape, and the DELAY will be short.
