NEWMAN ANSWERS A BUDDHIST.

Methodist Bishop Reviews the Great Re-
iigions of the World.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 19.-Bishop
John P. Newman, of Omaha, Neb., de.
livered sermon Sunday before a
crowded house in Trinity NJ. E. church
in New Albany, Ind, in answer to the
discourse delivered at the parliament of
religions in Chicago few days ago by 3
learned Buddhist, whose arguments
were characterized by Bishop Newton
as an insult to the Christian and intel
ligent people of America. The preacher
reviewed the life and teachings of
Buddha, and said that Buddhism had
given to the world no helpful litera-
ture. no system of free government,
no social system and no heroic
virtues. On the banks Of the Ganges,
Bishop Newman said. was a religion
claimed to be the Oldest in existence
that of Brahma. The Pundit who had
recently spoken in Chicago valued his
religion above that of Christ, but,
said the bishop. mark the result
the infanticide of girls, the contempt
of women, children thrown into the
Ganges, widowhood a crime and the
widow given to be burned on the funeral
pyre of her deceased husband. Out of
this religion has come thuggery, con-
dition that permits its enthusiasts to
become robbers, assassins and thieves.
After speaking briefly of the other re-
ligions referred to Bishop Newman elo-
quently contrasted the four religions
with that of Christ, and showed the re-
suits of each morally. socially and ma
tlonally.

IN GREAT PERIL.

Ashland and Other Wisconsin Towns Sor.
rounded by Fire-Some Loss OF Life Re-
ported and 1t Is Feared the Death List
Will BE Heavy.
ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. ia prayer
for rain is the hopeless cry throughout
northern Wisconsin. The forest flames
continue to sweep everything be-
fore them. 1t has been an excit-
ing day in Ashland. Settlers are COM
ing in from all directions fleeing for
their lives. At noon Sunday the people
were called from worship by fire
alarms. The cinders and smoke be.
came almost binding all over the city.
Over thousand volunteers were added
to the fire department to check the
flames which rushed in on the city from
the Odanah Indian reservation.
At 3 o'clock there was cry of despair
among the people living near the Mil
waukee, Lake Shore & Western railway
shops. The waterworks had given out
and there was no water. The chemical
engines were brought, but it was useless
to try to stop the flames. as high gale
of wind was blowing. There are few
wells in the city. The coal sheds
caught fire and plucky engineers soon
had the thirty dead locomotives fired
up, running all rolling stock to the
lake front. Household goods have been
burned and over hundred families are
already homeless.
The sun was almyst obscured by the
heavy clouds of smoke and cinders.
Twenty men were overcome in fighting
flames and taken to the hospital.
The timber and vegetation are
like straw. No rain has fallen
since July 10. Three families near
Marengo have perished. There was
no help to go to them. The fircmen.
with wet sponges and goggles, cannot
remain long IN the intense heat and
smoke. Settlers arriving have pitiable
stories to tell, and are being cared for
by those who still have houses. One
man named Agstron was driven crazy
by the loss of his wife and family OF
two children. A woman and baby
were picked up in an insensible condi
ton Sunday night near White River
road. The child died soon after arriv.
ing here. The mother is in a delirium
and it is supposed that her husband
perished at Odanah reservation.
As near as can be estimated fire now
covers nearly 200 square miles and is
sweeping north. Damage to standing
pine will be heavy and approximate
not less than &5.000,O00 Indians are
camping on raft in Bad river and
hc,nmed in with an archway of flames.
All communication is cut off from the
surrounding small towns and it is i'm.
possible to give details of the holo
causts and losses, but if rain does not
come soon the death list will run ur
into the hundreds.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 19.-Fol
several days this city has been envel
oped in dense smoke from numerous
forest fires south of here. but no dan
ger was anticipated until Sunday after
noon when the fires approached the
city forced in by strong wind. The
fire department was called opt and the
flames were fought off before they
reached any of the buildings in the out
skirts of the city.
