no INDEPENDENT SOUL.
DIR. Townsend Says Man Has More and
Finer Faculties Than Animals.

DIR. Townsend Says Man Has More and
Finer Faculties Than Animals.
DR.. Townsend, of the Unitarian Church,
yesterday morning preached on "What is
Man" In his remarks the doctor said
$50 many new facts from the workshop of
modern science have come to us, that we
have been obliged to modify our notions of
the nature of man. All admit that he is an
animal, having the same physical life and
tied by the same material threads to the
material world. But is he something more
than animal? Many curious definitions of
man have been invented to divide him from
the animal world. He is the being who
laughs, weeps, uses fire, reasons, sins. But
the animals reason, laugh, weep, use fire;
even show pride, anger, Jealousy, ambition,
wonder and reverence.
"What, then, differentiates man? This,
that man can say 1;' has come to conscious
ness so that the inspector becomes the in
spected. Out of this consciousness is born
Hamlet and the essays of Emerson
language, writing and the like. Also man
has, in full degree, the sense of right and
wrong and the sense of the ideal-from
which come the moral laws and art.
"But does man have an independent soul?
The human brain is the product of a long
evolution. First dot, then line, then a
strip, then convolution, then, at last. the
globed brain of man, and do not see an
open door, or even a crevice where an inde-
pendent soul can slip in. The difference
between man and the animal is that man has
more and finer faculty than the animal; i'm
measurably more and finer. The animal
has the drop, he has the tullness of the Inf
mite Life. But he is related to the whole
animal world, and to the pebbles under his
feet. The universe is oneness. This idea
does not initiate against his Immortality,
for that power which has watched over the
stream, through long evolutions. until it
sweIls into the personality. man, would not
waste so precious product. He who keeps
from everlasting can also keep to everlast-
ing"
Mr.. Townsend showed then the lines of
true human development.

A DANGEROUS FIRE.

Narrow Escape of Seven Valuable Horses
From Burning Stable.
At 10 P. M. yesterday fire was discovered
by Officer James Burk in the iron-clad
stable of Allen kirkpatrick at Ninth and
Duquesne. Hastily giving the alarm from
box % he returned and by his own exertions
succeeded in getting out five of the seven
horses in the building, the other two being
rescued by the fremen. The fire continued
for long time among the forage in the loft
and was thought dangerous at one time.
Just how the fire originated those in
authority could not tell, but they stated
that no fires had been left burning in the
stable. The loss will not reach $500. 1t is
fully covered by insurance.

His departure is not regarded with any

started the rumors. President Morenus told

his home in Pittsburg, as he could go home
for a few days once or twice month.

Sensational Reports.
President Morenus, of the Window Glass
Workers Association, left for his home in
Cleveland, N. Y, Saturday evening. 1t
was reported on the Southside last night
that he left rather UNEXPECTEDLY, and to
some extent under peculiar circumstances.
He told John Marsh, from whom he rented
his room, that he need not hold the apart
ments for him.
1t is said that Mr.. Morenus confded to a
friend who accompanied him to the train
that the position of President was tiresome
one, and that he might not return. A dill
gent effort failed to establish these startling
reports last night.
On the contrary everyone to whom Presi-
dent Morenus had talked about his depart
ure gave as their opinion that he had only
gone home to pay his family visit. 1t is

Joseph J. johnson, aged 81, bricklayer,
fell in an epileptic fit opposite No. 10
Smithfeld street yesterday afternoon, and
was taken into the nearest house open by
Officer Frank Yerger. The proprietor Of
the place demanded that the officer take

and would not be undeceived.
The officer and another man removed the
unfortunate to neighboring alley. whence
he was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital
in an ambulance, and died there at P. NJ
He regained consciousness enough to tell
that he came from Hartford, Conn.,, and
lived at No. 10 Roberts street.

Burned by Incendiaries.
The fire in the house of Bernard Krugh,
in Knoxville, which occurred about IL
o'clock Saturday night, is now said to have
been of incendlary origin. The family was
away from the house for three days, and
Mr.. Krugh claims to have turned off the
gas in all fireplaces before leaving. When
the fire was discovered the gas was burning
where the stove had been standing.
The loss to the building will not exceed
$500, but the residents of the hill are much
alarmed at the idea of having incendiaries
in their midst.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

When asked by DISPATCH representa-
tive for statement as to the future action
Of herself and the other Pennsylvania Of
fcers, she said she did not expect much to
be done until after the Cleveland conference
''The outlook is bright for Pennsylvania, ."
she said. "When we finished our business
in Philadelphia we turned into our treasury
over 500. John L. Fulton, of Johnstown.
sent us check for SIS, and Philadelphia
gentleman said be would be one of ten to
raise us $1,000. We are encouraged on
every hand"
A point that has not yet been brought
out is the fact that the new organization will
con6ne itself strictly to temperance work,
without reference to any other reforms.
They start in with considerable strength.
Butler, Chester. Tioga, Lehigh and Lam
caster counties have already organized nom
partisan unions. The Women's Evangelical
Temperance Association of Philadelphia,

Electricity In the Census.

The next census will certainly contain
one new feature That will be statistics
of the electrical industry. The electric
lighting companies have asked congress
to appropriate $4,000 to bear the ex-
penses Of thorough inquiry into their
business.
The companies themselves, the public,
scientific men and inventors are all in
terested in getting full facts with regard
to overhead and underground systems,
which is preferable and which is less ex-
pensive. The inquiry will also include
full facts as to electric motors, how
many are in use, how many different
kinds there are. which kinds are prefer
able for stationary engines and which
for cars.
The dangers to human life would also
form very important branch of the in
vestigation, the ascertainment of how
many deaths had been caused by this
agent, and the precautions taken by va
rious companies to avoid accidents. Then
a careful comparison of ascertained facts
might throw light on a subject about
which all the world is so lamentably ig-
norant. yet in which all the world is so
profoundly interested The money could
not be better laid out

In Case of Fire.

In an orphan asylum containing four
,oon hundred children a fire broke out
one morning lately, just as the little
ones were going into their school room.
The sister who has charge of the asylum
stood in the hall when an excited citizen
entered and told her the building was on
FIRE. She allowed the children to go to
the class rooms to which the bell had
summoned them. Then she moved
ouickly to large bell in the lower hall
and gave three taps, loud and clear.
The hundreds of children in the school
rooms knew what that meant. They had
been drilled to the sound many and
many a time The little ones stood up
instantly and filed out of their rooms,
two and two. In not much more than
two minutes the whole great building
was emptied and the children safe in
the yard.
1t was the regular fire drill of the
asylum. The orphans had been put
through it time and again by their
teachers. The scene was splendid les
son to all teachers. The children did
not know there was a real fire till they
were out Of danger. They only knew
that at three taps of the bell they were
to file out by twos Level headed women
and fire drill in all schools and fami-
lies would save many lives every year

Cremating Paupers.

An insane asylum superintendent calls
attention to the wholesale poisoning Of
the soil that is taking place in the vicin-
lty OF cities where paupers are buried in
potters fields. When they die rapidly,
each has not separate grave, but they
lie in trenches eight feet deep, the bodies
touching one another. In this position
they do not decay quickly, but may lie
for years unabsorbed by the earth The
law gives the bodies of unclaimed pau
pers to medical colleges. but there are
now so many that the colleges cannot
use them. Even of those brought to the
dissecting table, the fragments are gath
cred and deposited in the trenches in
potter's field. In the public burying
ground on Wards island, New York,
there are already 1000 corpses. Before
another generation passes these will be
added to at the rate of 10000 a year.
Dr. Hart, the insane asylum superin-
tendent mentioned. recommends that
unclaimed pauper bodies be cremated as
measure of public safety. The welfare
of the living must be consulted first, and
it imperatively demands that the soil
around large cities shall not be turned
into a vast receptacle for decaying
corpses. Especially DIR. Hart urges the
cremation of the fragments of subjects
from dissecting rooms
The cremation of pauper corpses might
give rise to new and fourishing indus
try, such as it is already said to have
done in certain city, namely. the trade
in second hand collins. According to
report. the superintendent of the crema-
tory there was Of frugal mind. The
bodies to be cremated were removed
from the coffin and placed upon the bier
belonging to the crematory before being
consigned to the flames. Thus the coffin
was left with both its occupant and its
occupation gone The relatives of the
deceased had no further use for 1t, and
thought no more about it What was to
be done with it? The superintendent
finally hit upon plan.
He is said to have sold the collins, in
company with some other spectators,
and made neat little perquisites thereby.
Why noti But an enemy must need
grudge it to the spectators, and so told
on them. When finally the handsome
coffin of wealthy and prominent citi-
zen was recognized. the whole story
came out.

century was woman's century. it is no
less true that the Twentieth will be
labor's century. 1t needs not a prophet
to foretell that the coming man is the

power to make himself respected. The

who make the wealth of the world will get
their fair share of it With the improve
ments in machinery, the growing hui

as the growing intelligence of the work.
ing men and their power to hang together
and enforce their demands, will come

ence at Berne meets MAY 8. 1t will dis
