he knew what course the officers of the
insurance company would pursue, he
said: 81 have no idea of their plans.

people. c. W. Seefield has made vol

TEACHERS OF MORALS.
Convention of the Societies or
Ethical Culture.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-The an.
nual convention of the Union of Socie-
ties of Ethical Culture opened here to-
day. G. M. Pierce, of Philadelphia. was
chairman, and G. j. Errant, of Chicago,
secretary. At this mornings session
Prof. Felix Adler, of New York, speaker
of the union, delivered his annual adj
dress. Delegates were present from
New York, Chicago st. Louis and Phil
adelphia, in which cities the four branch
societies of the union have been estab-
lished. The four branch societies have
membership of about 1,300. Conven-
tions are held annually in the different
large cities. The idea of the movement
is to make ethics independent of theOl-
ogy, and lay all the stress of teaching
on morals instead of on either creeds or
theology. Intellectual and moral fitness
are the only tests for membership, and
men and women are admitted OH equal
terms. 1t is proposed to found a school
in one of the large cities in connection
with a university already established,
in which 10 teach scientifically philoso-
ply, ethics and the history of religion.
thereby atfording to the moral teachers
of the community the opportunity of fit
ting themselves adequately for their
future vocation.

MECKIE GETS VERY MAD.
Mrs. Rawson Creates a Scene in
Judge Tuthill's Court.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-The defense was
continued to-day in the trial of Mrs.
Meckie l.. Rawson for the shooting of
Lawyer Whitney. DR.. Walter Hay, of
Hyde Park, was called as an expert in
insanity and occupied the chair up to
the time of the recess for lunch, in
listening to and answering very long
hypothetical questions intended to
prove that Mrs. RawSon was insane at
the time of the shooting. The general
trend of the doctors evidence was fav-
orable to the theory that the woman
was insane when she committed
the deed. At the afternoon ses-
sion. James W. Loomis, conductor
on the Chicago & Alton railroad, was
called by the state to testify as to cer-
tain charges of misconduct by Mrs.
Rawson on board sleeping car in May,
1885. This testimony was objected to
on the ground that it had already been
brought in by the state. States Attor-
ney Elliott retorted that Mrs. Rawson
had declared that she had Il paper re-
tracing the charges made against her
of misconduct on that trip, and he
wanted to show that, even if she had such
a paper, the charges were true. At

paper she held in her hand was full
retraction of the Infamous charges.
'.The witness Loomis,' Mrs. Raw
son said, Historically, ''is liar
and perjurer, and l won't
sit here and listen to him."
Judge Tuthill mildly rebuked her, say
ing: "Mrs. Rawson, your conduct is
contrary to the rules of the court, and
you must be quiet.'' 'But can't have
that man lying about me. L" here
Mr.. Crews. her attorney. walked over
to the excited woman, and said: eff
you have any sense left, for goodness
sake keep quiet" Mr.. Crews suppli-
cation, however. was not acted upon,
and Mrs. Rawson was just ready to
break out again, when one of the bailiffs
put his hand on her shoulder and told
her to sit down. II won't do it," she
screamed. "FlI go to Jail first" and
shook afresh the paper which she said
was retraction of the charges made in
connection with the sleeping-car trip.
