This from tn. Chicago Tribune:
Slowly but surely Delaware Is emerging from
the dark nEas. The Legislature has just
amended an old law SO as 10 provide that no
woman in the state can now be pillOried as II
punishment for witchcraft. When the spirit
of progress has once taken full possession of
the little old commonwealth there is no telling
whore it will stop.
In tae words OF the esteemed Tribune of
a recent date: 1.-The amount OF ignorance
that can be displayed by supposedly we'll
Informed journals is astonishing" Further
comment IL useless. The Delaware Legis-
lature has not been In session for 10 months,

GIORDAso BRUNO.


Hnis History and How the rIOnu-
mient to Eais Memory Was Erected
i'm Rome.
DR.. d. G. Brinton of Philadelphia lec-
ture; at the Unitarian Church Friday even
lag on the subject of Giordano Bruno, the
italian philosopher OF the sixteenth CEN
tury. The speaker said that Bruno was
bor near Naples In l6aS aud was burned
for heresy in 1910. He was u Dominican
but on expressing doubts as to certain i'm.
portant doctrines OF the church, including
those Of ransubstaatistion md the i'm
maculaCe conception, left the order and
becauaa wGnderer over Europe. ae was
subsequently arrested In Venice. In
relation to the burning OF Bruno,
Dr. brinton made the historical
distinction that tho extreme measure OF
sending mon to the stake or of hanging
thom for their theological opinions during
the era OF Bruno WAS not uncommon among
Oav aists and Pnritap8 as we'll as by the
Romlsh inquisition. In his wanderings
Bruno met many OF the laarned men OF the
age. Helectured at the great universities OF
Enrope and astonished his hearers at 0x-
ford with the holdness AMI even coArsenes5
and Righteousness Of his speech. But that
was characteristic OF the age and WAS
illustrated nowhere more strongly than IN
the style of Martin Luther.
Dr.. Brinton referred 70 the fact that thfs
italian philosopher OF ths sixteenth century
had anticipated the doctrine of evolution,
not vaguely, but In very detluite way and
that the influence OF his writings may be
traced IN the works Of eminent authors OF
q late date, The fact that brought Giordano
Bruno into prominence at the present time
Is that some time ago a proposition was
made that monument TO his memory be
erected In some public place In Rome. The
papal authorities demonstrated. The matter
became political question and the follow
lug municipal electiuos were based on the
grant site for the proposed monument or
not. The party Ia favor of the monument
gained mHjoctt, Of aldermen In the ensu-
Ing election ar he site was granted. A
monup ent to II cdano Bruno now stands
In one OF the pg C place of Rome.

AsroRs INVESTMENTS.

An Almshouso and Hospital In the village
OF Waldorf, Baden.
The newest "Astor House" to come to
the attention OF New Workers 10 an
almshouse and hospital, which returned
tourists say bears that name In the lit
tie village Of Waldorf, in Baden, where
the Astor family first grew, 80 far 40
history records. The present Mr.. AstoR,
is readily recognized by the Waldorhans
as the lord Of the manor, the seigneur
Of the fief and the mister Of the family,
and their recognition is based chiefly
on the substantial foundation OF 90, 1000
marks, which Mr.. Astor sent them not
long since to be added to the endow-
ment fund of the Astor House OF Baden.
John Jacob Aston, recently deceased,
founded the institution, and Mr.. Astor's
check for 80, 900 marks was sent in reply
to letter of coincidence sent him by the
selectmen of Waldorf when his father
died.
As the Aston money Is rumored to be
about finding investment in at least
two new hotels, the gossips are suggest
ing that unpleasant complications Of
precedence and pique might readily be
avoided henceforth between the head by
position, the head by seniority and the
heir apparent or crown prince of the As
tor family by the judicious naming OF the
hotels One, on Thirty-fourth street.
for instance, might be called the Mr..
Aator House" The one on Fiftv-ninth
street would naturally be called the
'Mr. William Astor House." inasmuch
as ffty-nine is as near Mr.. Williams
age as thirty-four is to that Of MIR.
Aston. Should there be an Aston hotel
at Sixty-frst street. which is a much
remoter contingency, 1t would be appro-
pirate to name it on completion the
John Jacob Aston House." And thus
all three might be readily distinguished
from the old original simon-pure Astor
House. IN. Y. World.
