A Harrison Street Saloon Keeper Gets Drunk
on His Own Goods.
A Harrison-street saloon-keeper has been
drinking heavily for two weeks. and almost
terrorized his neighborhood. His place is
the scene of a disturbance almost nightly.
and patrolmen have watched him serving
drinks from behind the bar when be was
reolIng with intoxication. They were
unable to arrest him because he was IN his
own bouse. into which they say they could
not lawfully enter unless for acme other Of
Tense than drunkenness. Ii did not occur
to them. probably because of a self-pro-
tective disposition among patroimen to
avoid prosecuting saloon-keepers. 10 make

The Rev. DIR. Vim. r. Harper, of Yale
College, and prospective president of the
new Chicago University. announces his
full concurrence in the views of DIR. Briggs
regarding the verbal inspiration and iner-
rancy of the Bible. He says it cannot be
denied that there are manifest errors in
the Bible. We quote his language:
It must be allowed that there are errors and
discrepancies In the Bible. No man can read the
Bible and fail to find them. No man with any
sort Of a mind at all can fail to see the errors and
mistakes il contains. The claim is made to- day
that il the Bible contains errors this utterly de-
stroys its force as the word of sod. Professor
Briggs is not a pioneer in combating this theory.
He has simply begun in this country a great
movement. no mar knows how long II will
continue. and no man knows where 1t Will end.
i regret exceedingly that 1t has begun. The
time Is not yet ripe. There are a hundred rea-
sons why it shonld be delayed, but no power on
earth can now stop IL.
DR.. Harper contends that the value of
the Bible. its supreme authority as a rule
of faith and conduct, and it's validity as
the foundation of Christianity are all
strengthened instead of weakened by ad-
uniting that il contains some errors. There
is nothing in the position of these learned
and pious men to give any comfort to the
opponents of Christianity or to lessen its
aggressive force.

ANOTHER FLOOD IN 5000 YEARS.


A Prediction That the Ocean Will sub
merge the Northern Continent
The map of the world, aa geographers
have outlined it, shows that there IL u
vast preponderance OF land north Of the
equator. Humboldt estimated that Asia
stands at an average height Of $50 feet
above the level of the ocean; South
America, 1,130; North America. 750;
Europe, 670 feet. The average height of
all the land above the sea Ievel-omit-
ting Africa and Australia, which are
mostly south IF the equator-is about
920 feet. The landed surface Of the
northern hemisphere is about A, 600, 600
square miles; that of the southern hemi-
sphere about 100000 to 10000. 900
square miles, leaving a difference Of say
2S, 100000 square miles Of land Of an av-
erage height Of 920 feet above the sea
level
But as there is the same visible excess
Of water on the southern side that there
Is of land on the northern, and as the
depth of the seas is about the same, it
follows that the weight Of the excess Of
submerged land in the northern hernis-
phere must be added t0 the 2S, 200, 600
square miles. doubling the height Of Ill,
making the landed surface Of the north
ern at least $40 feet above the average
surface of the southern hemisphere, both
its continents and ocean depths. What

If there was nothing, water level in
that region would be impossible. Pro
fessor Merriman believed that the bal
ancing weight might be found in that

gion lying within the antarctic circle. IF
it does exist there in the shape of ice, ~
all scientists believe it d0es, these i'm
mense mountains Of ice must necessarily

them both, his hands in the pockets of
his spring overcoat, saying not one
word, but glancing quickly about from
man to man, followed Mr.. Abrams, Of
Chicago.

Schonberg reached his buggy, but
kept up his furious language. His com
panion, still silent, scrambled in, his
restless eyes wandering from face to
face. The thirty seconds were well nigh
gone when the Jew, aided by Stones
supporting arm, lurched into his seat
and picked up the reins. Shaking the
whip over Stones head he shrieked so
that all could hear:

CHAPTER ".

Out along the grassy slopes the live
lest of trumpet calls were ringing. Long
lines of mounted skirmishers were adj
yancing in mimic attack against the
bluffs to the north of the wide valley.
Assembly and deploy, rally and charge,
followed each other in quick succession,
and the piff-paff of carbines far out on
the eastern flank was answered by
sweeping dash of whirling sabers and
thunder Of galloping hoofs Here and
there the bright hues of the guidons lent
color to the somber effect of service dress
and treeless prairie. And dalong the bold
crests that spanned the northern sky
line groups of gayly attired spectators,
whose parasols and fans, scarfs and hand
kerchiefs, seemed futtering in constant
motion, watched the busy scene on the
flats below. Several buggies and carry
alls had driven out from the neighbor-
ing town; three or four ambulances and
Concord wagons were present from the
post itself; and one light open barouche,
drawn by two stylish bays and driven by
dignifed negro, was evidently center
of attraction for many eyes. Herein
were seated Mrs Lane and her guest,
Miss Marshall, with their near neigh
bors, the wife and sister of Mr.. Wharton,
first lieutenant of Lanes troop
Several ladies from the fort had alight-
ed from their various vehicles and were
gathered in lively conversation about the
barouche. Others, seated along the crest,
were watching the evoiutions and com
menting, as is their won't, on the horse
manship or voice of this officer or that.

would drive close beside the one stylish
looking carriage and its occupants would
