Bible History.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The Rev. j. H. Bar
rows began last evening at the irst Presbyte-
rian church the first of series Of lectures
on the sabject Are the Cos ,el Histories
Credibler A large and highly appreciativt
audience listened to DIR. Barrows clear enun-
citation OF his belief "If the gospel history
is true; If Christ came into the world to res
cue men, and at last indicated his divinity
by rising from the dead, began DR.. Bar
rows, "then historic Christiany is true, and
ought to be accepted"
General Review of the Subject.
The lecture was more of a general intro
duction thana production of facts. The speak
er said that more than eighteen centuries
agothe shrewd Jewish counsellor Gamaliel had
said of Christianity: "If this work be of
men il will be overthrown, but il il be of
God We will not be able to overthrow
it." Never before has the gospel history been
so widely accepted. II is diff TO ex
plain the MONDAY without q anting that
there has been a sunrise. Thi. gospel his
tory was preached as true at the very dawn
Of Christianity, and on its truth have been
built up institutions which have come down

recording the fact that 1880 years have
passed since the coming of Christ among

Not the Product of Imsgi alton.
The presumption in favor of the truth OF

All the great men OF history
had accepted Christ as some being
more than human; he is too mighty to have
been product OF fancy and too great to be

quoted as an incontrovertible argument the
fact that in the nineteenth century, the most

why 1t is that the people have become
so worked up about it. Why, on
January 20 OF the present year l was
called to the Southern part of the state
by the report that smallpox was very
prevalent there, and when 1 arrived
found that there were 1876 eases Of the
disease among the people of Roma, Rio
Grande City, and Ringgold. 1t took me
only to March 24 to completely wipe out
the disease.
There is absolutely no danger of the
epidemic becoming serious or dangerous
in any part of this state" continued the
doctor. alt is probably not gen orally
known, even to the citizens of this city,
that every sleeper that comes
into San Antonio, from any
part of Mexico is thoroughly
fumigated before it is allowed to enter
the city. There is a fumigation house
located just at the edge of the
city, where the work of fumiga-
ton is performed, and 1 have
special officer there in the person of
DR.. n c. Dunn who superintends the
work. The carpets of the sleepers and
every particle of bedding and clothing in
1t IS thoroughly fumigated by chlorine
gas, which is manufactured in the car.
The clothing of the passengers, if they
are from the infected districts of Mexico,
are also fumigated before permitted to
enter the city.
"What is the amount appropriated for
quarantine work?''
"Only $50 900, and it is almost i'm
possible to do work with that sum. l am
going 10 use my efforts to Sc
cure q large appropriation from the
next legislature. 1t is not one-fifth
the amount appropriated for each Of the
other departments of the state, while the
health officers work is very extensive
and the expense large. There are six
ty offices in the state and seven stations
along the gulf coast, which are kept>open
from May until December of each year,
and about thirty boats, yawls, ETC., all
of which are mnaed. There are also eight
special officers.

THE SMALLPOX SCARE.
DR.. Rutherford Talks to a Gazette Man About
the Disease in Texas-Under Con-
troll at all Points.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 9.-State
Health Officer Rutherford arrived here
to-day on official business. In an inter-
view he said: ''ln Texas there have
been only four new cases reported during
the past ten days, and two Of
these were in error. 1 now have the
disease under complete subsection, but
it required continuous and unremitting
work of the hardest kind to accomplish
what 1 have. There have been
no new cases at Waco in tif-
teen days. 1t was reported to me
that the disease was at Temple, but upon
investigation 1 found the report entirely
unfounded. The quarantine at Marlin
has been raised, despite the bitter oppo-
sition of the municipal officers of that
place. The city marshal, who attempted
to interfere with my orders raising the
quarantine, is under arrest and his little
pieceof work will cost him $1,000, and
probably six months in jail.
Hwhat do you think of the smallpox
scare in this city?" asked the reporter.
HWhy, am astonished at the people
becoming worked up over the matter when
they have lived right here where it has
existed at all seasons of the year, 10 q
more or less extent, since the city was
founded. I have it on reliable authority
that there is but one case of the disease
now in this city and that one is perfectly
safe, l started out fourteen days ago,
and have during that time visited every
locality where smallpox has been re-
ported, and have used quick and vigor-
Gus measures TO stamp out the disease.
There is not case in the state but what
is under strict guard.
"WilI the prayers of the Eagle Pass
citizens asking that the quarantine there
against Piedras Negras be raised be
granted by your
"No sir. That quarantine is go
ing TO remain just as long
as the disease prevails to the extent
that it does across the river in Piedras
Negras, and the Eagle Pass people had
better take the medicine like men. 1t
would be nothing less than criminal to
raise that quarantine, as the disease
would quickly spread to this side. The
towns are connected by two bridges, and
l have ropes stretched across both and
guards there to prevent any communica-
ton between the two towns. The
last number of cases reported to me
existing in Piedras Negras is eighteen,
and while the danger remains l shall
neither raise nor modify the quarantine
now IN force at Eagle Pass. In the lat
ter place there is not single case, nor is
there any in the several other towns on
this side of the border.
''Is the present outbreak of smallpox
any more serious and extensive than that
which occurs every year?'
at is not. And / cannot understand
