| SHOT By ACCIDENT.-Las Friday
morning young man by the name of
John McFarlane, living four miles
south Of Dedham and whose land ad
joins Audubon county on the north,
was accidentally shot and instantly Kill
led. Rabbits had been doing bad work
In the orchard and on Friday morning
before breakfast, the young man took
down the shot gun saying that he was
going out to kill some of the pc its.
The family heard the gun discharged,
but thought nothing wrong, and after
waiting some time ate breakfast with
out him. After the meal his prolonged
absence caused search to be made
and to their deep sorrow they found
him dead with a gun shot wound in
the right temple, though the discharge
did not penetrate through the head.
The position of the body and the gun
indicated that he had climbed through
the wire fence and that in pulling tire
gun through after him, the trigger had
caught upon a wire and caused the
discharge with the fatal and terrible
result-in all respects the counterpart
of hundreds of fatal accidents to hunt
era, MCFarlane was a young man
twenty-fouf years OF age, with bright
business prospects, and who expected
to soon lead to the altar one of of Viola
townships most interesting young
ladies. lie had also been chosen as
manager of the alliance store at Ded-
ham, which duty lao you'd have as
sumed soon. The funeral was held at
Dedham Saturday and was attended
by very large assemblege of friends
of the young man who sympathized
with the parents bereft by this tragic
death. The deceased was a second
cousin of Mr.. John McFarlane, the
implement dealer OF this city.

RECEONJNG From JERTSA LEM

| The much vcXcd question OF primary
meridian and universal standard Of time has
again been brought TO the fore in an interesting
and rather promising form. Last June, il will
be remembered. the international Photographic
Conference at Paris discussed the matter, and
indirectly intimaed that the meridian of Green
witch would not be acceptable 10 all nations rs
the standard. 4 vote was also passed apprOv-
ing the efforts Of the Academy of Sciences Of
Bologna Italy. to find satisfactory solution
! The Bologna Academy has now formulated the
result, Of its studies and deliberations and the
| Italian Government has sent summary Thereon
to all the countries interested with request
| for judgment on the scheme.
The plan Of the Bologna scientists is briefly
stated to adopt the meridian of Jerusalem rs
the primary. and TO make the universal day
begin there at noon Thus the universal day
| and the chronological day would be made 70.
coincide almost exactly result which has for
many years been earnestly desired. One of the
str INCEST arguments in favor of this scheme Is
that il would admit of the establishment Of an
! international observatory on the prime mendl-
an. This, Of course. is essential, and could not
| be effected were Greenwich. Paris, Washing
ton. Berne. or any other meridian that has been
suggested, selected. For these latter are in in
| depcndcnt States. that would not be likely 10
ccde ground for international ownership, and
to whose proprietOrship. even in name, of the
prime meridian the other Powers would not
agree, But Jerusalem is practically neutral
ground, and is likely to remain such for many
generations.
Another most important recommendation Of
the Jerusalem meridian, purely scientific in It's
nature. has reference 10 the portion Of the
earth's surface which it traverses. II is for
obvious reasons highly desirable that the prime
meridian should lie on land as far as possible.
In this respect the Greenwich meridian is
especially faulty. Just north of the Humber in
Latitude 50 degrees 40 minutes, it leaves the
land and thcnceiOIth extends along the North
Sea to the Pole; while southwark it crosses the
inhospitable Sahara, and in about latitude
degrees north leaves the coast of Guinea and
thenceforth. for more than half its entire length
lies on the South Atlantic. 1t does not even
cross the EQUATOR on land. and is actually at
sea for more than 131 degrees or nearly three
quarters of It's length The meridian Of Paris
is even more Objectionable, and that Of Berne
is no better The meridian Of Rome or OF
Palermo would give vastly longer land line, OF
about 90 degrees, or half its whole length, al
most spanning from the Arctic Circle to the
Tropic Of Capricorn, and would cut the Equator
on land in the Congo county. The Washing
ton meridian Is better STILL extending chiefly
on land from sS degrees north to II degrees

south. % degrees, though much OF 1t lies IN
inaccessible regions. New-York would give a
much better meridian while Boston vindicates
IFS title to be called The Hub by presenting a
meridian living on or near the land for 1873 de-
cree,. not counting the Antarctic Alexander
I,pd which i touches a dozen degrees still
further on.
The meridian of Jerusalem, however, is an
admirable one. if il does not rival that OF New
YorI, or Boston. Il has a land line from the
shore of the Arctic Ocean, about 60 degrees
north to Cape Corrientes, - degrees south, a
total of 90 degrees, from above the Arctic
Circle 10 below the Tropic of Capricorn. More
over. il runs through comparatively accessible
regions: Russia, Armenia, Abyssinia, the
:. binterland: OF Zanzibar, and the Lake Ny
ASA country, cutting the Equator in the mag
nifcent highlands surrounding the Victoria Ny
ANA. Thus for practical scientific purposes
this meridian is highly satisfactory, while from
the point of view of international pride and
etiouette il is to be preferred before any ether.
II would seem odd to begin saying SO many
degrees east or west from Jerusalem, and we
should have largely to rcmake our charts. But
once universally adopted, the system would
urove of incalculablc convenience Some stand
ard of reckoning for all the world Is coming to
he n aecesSity and for the reasons we have
given. that proposed by the Bologna Academy
seems decidedly preferable 10 any other that has
vet been offered to the world.

PROFESSOR GnIGGS And ORTHODOXY.

| PROFESSOR BEICGN And ORTHODOXY.
That the methods and conclusions Of the So
called higher criticism Of the Bib" are rapidly
coming to dominate the Christian thought OF
The day is being made manifest in many ways
in none perhaps. more conclusiycly than in
the selection Of Professor Briggs for a chair Of
Biblical theology in the Union Theological
Seminary. OF most alleged hcrctcS in the
orthodox denominations it may be said that they
grew into their hcrc,icS gradually and thcIc-
fore the Church is not responsible for their
doot:inal vagaIies. Similarly in the Andovcr
clsc it may be plausbly urged that if the
Seminary authorities had known that Professor
Smyth and his colleagues would in the course
Of time become advocates of what is known
as the progressive theology, they would have
refused TO appoint them.
But no such plea can be urged in the case
of Professor Briggs. For years be has cou-
ragcously declared his position in regard to
Biblical criticism. His views have been wide
ly discussed, and we may add, most emphat-
icaly condemned by those entitled to speak for
orthodoxy. lie has been called a traitor. Il
nationalist, an inidel, and a would be destroyer
of the Bible. Even his personal integrity has
been a>sailcd, and he has been denounced as "A
dishonest man in retaining his position in the
Seminary while holding views opposed to the
orthodox beliefs of the churches. And yet i'm
face of all this, he has been transferred from
4 chair where he could give only limited and
incidental expression TO his views Of Biblical
Interpretation to a chair in which it will be
not only his right, but his duty, tb teach his
views Of the Bible. Instead of discrcditing
the brilliant and able Professor the Seminary
deliberately honorS him, and authorizes him to
teach 20 It's students what he has been called
an infdcl for believing
Nor can it be said that in honorng Professor
Briggs the Seminary is running counter to the
sentiment of the churches Had such an ap-
pointment been made no longer than twenty
years ago il would have created a religious
revolution. Indignant meetings would have
been held: letters Of protest would have poured
in; and the Seminary authorities would have
been compelled to rescind the appointment in
Difference to an outraged public opinion. Blu;
to-day the appointment is taken almost as
matter Of course and with only few per
functory expressions Of disapproyal on the part
of some religious papeIs. On the other hand,
many religious papers which represent ortho

ment, and see in it an evidence of religious
progress And so orthodox a churchman as
Bishop Potter almost went out of his way to
indorse the new Edward Robinson Professor Of
Biblical Theology.
All this means revolution in the thinking
of the churches. Whether for good or i'll, the
modern critical methods of investigating the
Bible and Christianity are being accepted by
all those entitled to speak for the churches.
And the result is the continuous adjustment OF
old beliefs and new ideas that is such marked
characteristic of the religious world to-day
This adjustment frightens many, and leads
them to believe that Christianity is in danger
But others equally orthodox regard it as sign
of life and growth, the result of which will be
to strengthen rather than weaken the hold
which Christianity has on the affections OF
mankind

THE TROUBLE IN PORTUGAL.

| For several months past it has been appar-
ent that the condition of affairs in Portugal
was of an exceedingly critical character, ana
| under the circumstances the news published
to-day of the outbreak of an insurrccton at
| OportO will hardly create much surprise. "A
serious feature of the trouble, and one that Is
of ominous portent to the Royal dynasty, Is the
fact that the disturbance originated in the
mminy of a portion of the local garrison, ana
in fneir demands for the establishment OF a
republic. The Portuguese in general are OF
an essentially democratic nature and the urban
population of the country in particular is cX-
cecdingly emphatic i'm its aversion to mo-
narchica institutions. Thoroughly aware Of
this. the present King and his predecessor ex-
crted themselves to the utmost to insure the
LOYALTY of the army in the event Of a popular
revolution. The mutiny of the troops, on whose
fidelity the sovereign principally relies for the
preservation Of his throne would leave the latter
almost dcfcncelcSs, and 1t will probably not be
long before the Portuguese follow the example
Of their Brazilian klnsmen, and invite klnG
Carlos to join his great uncle Dom Pedro, in
exile.
Foremost among those who have prccipitated
the present crisis is Lord Salisbury, who III
the event of the overthrow OF the Portuguese
monarchy will be regarded by the world IN
general as mainly responsible for its downfall.
By bringing the superior power OF Great Bnt-
ain TO bear upon the relatively weak little
Kingdom. he forced Don Carlos TO af1iX his
signature to a treaty which involved the aban-
donment to England Of African territory that
the Portuguese have for centuries past re-
gardcd rs part of their colonial possessions.
Great was the popular indignation among the
patriotic Portuguese when the terms OF the con
yention became known. and the National Legs
lq.urc even went so far as to refuse to rally
IT, II WAS IN vain that the Lisbon Government
apucacd 70 her ancient ally for modification
IF the treaty sufficient b. silence the popular
cutlery against it, and. notwithstanding the abb
sencc of ratification on the part OF the Portu-
cuc>c Parliament, the English proceeded to en-
force It's terms BY various acts Of aggression,
which King Carlos does no; consider 1t as
either polite or even possible to resent by force
Hi, subjects whose ind gnation against Eng

Placed in this manner between the devil

that of his dynasty appears not only probable
but even inevitable.

There has been a considerable deal OF the
eternal fitness of things in the progress OF
rapid transit legislation this year. Last Mon
day the full text Of the Stewart bill was made
public. The Senate altered it somewhat and
passed it, On Friday il went through the House
without dissenting vote. And yesterday the
Governor signed it and it became law. That
is rapid transit in legislation, and safe ana
comfortable transit, too, for there is reason to
believe that the law is far sounder and more
satisfactory than many others that have been
made after weeks and months Of debate. Now
let us have the law applied with commensurate
speed, and as an effect thereof, have for the
people of this town a system Of rapid transit
thai will combine the essential features OF
safety, speed and comfort-spelling the comfort
with big big c.
