"How DARE YOU JUDGE Use"
Dharmapala the Buddhist Made Pretty
Vigorous Speech.

Chicago, September 15.-" How dare
you judge us?"
Arrayed in robes of spotless white,
which seemed all the whittier by reason
of his swarthy countenance and wealth
of jet black hair, with arm and index
finger extended and every muscle OF his
body quivering with excitement,
Dharmapala, the Buddhist priest and
scholar from Calcutta, stood upon the
edge of the platform in the hall of Wash
ington yesterday afternoon and thu
hurled defiance at the great audience be-
fore him. A volley of cheers was the re-
sponse Behind the striking figure from
the Orient, dwelling intent upon every
word, sat the venerable Edward Everett
Hale, who had just come from an adjoin-
ing hall On his right was the negro
prince from Africa; on his left Mrs.
Ormiston Chant, the English Radical;
next to her, his head encircled in a tur-
ban of white, was Dakoyoshi Matuy-
sauna, the advocate of Shintoisln, side by
side with the Indian Protap Chunder
Mozoomdar, the philosopher of the
Brahmo-Somaj. 1t was striking scene
and striking occasion.
The Buddhist had been introduced
after an address of remarkable liberality
by the Rev. DIR. E. l.. Rexford of Boston.
He expressed his qualification that an
opportunity had been offered him OF
crossing the water to participate in the
parliament, and said that it mattered
little what mans dogma was or what
his theology, If he was only sincere and
true to the light within him. Then, sur
veying the audience he suddenly de-
manded; @How many of you have read
the life of Buddha?"
ra..- L 4 - 4,
women, were timidly held up.
Give, only said the Buddhist, with
a tone and look of disdain. -Four hun
bred and seventy-tive millions of people
accept our religion of love and of hope.
You call yourself Nation, a great
Nation, and yet you do not know the
history OF this great teacher. How dare
you Judge ns?" And the audience cheered
again and again.
You complain that you do not make
converts among u.s." he continued.
"You preach a God of love, but in your
actions you are selfish. You make of an
ignorant or an unsophisticated man a
perfect hypocrite. You have used the
story of a life-crushing, bloody Jugger-
naut to secure the means to save alleged
heathens. Juggernaut has been popular
lied by Christian missionaries, and yet a
commission composed of eminent Eng
lishmen has declared that the Christian
idea of Juggernaut was myth, that
death and blood were repulsive to our
people. This Christian story has been
exploded. 1t has gone into oblivion"
And so the Oriental scholar went on,
scoring his hearers and defending his
own creed. He asked how many had
read the life of Mahomet, the Prophet
of Arabia, and when four hands went
up he asked why they should denounce
Mahometanism when they knew nothing
of it or its founder. And with every SEN
tence he carried his audience with him.

DID A GOOD DEAL OF DAMAGE.
But the Burglars Who Visited Livermore
Falls Left Empty Handed.

Livermore Falls, September 15.-Bur-
glars got in their work at Livermore
Falls last night. They first got in the
window of WI. Thomass store and stole
a sixteen dollar revolver. The bars were
removed from the post Office windows,
but they only secured about dozen
coppers there. 1t is supposed that they
next went to the blacksmith shop of
Caleb Brown, removed the bars from a
window and stole tools to work with.
When they broke window in Mr.. George
Chandler's grist mill and proceeded to
work on the safe. 1t is double-door,
burglar-proof safe. The outer door was
found to be open.
They knocked the handle and dial
from the inner one hoping thereby to
drive in the pins and SO open the door.
Being unsuccessful in this they drilled
one hole in the door and failing to get
through, tried the top of the safe, break
ing the drill in the hole. They then
started another hole in the top and
drilled to within one plate of the inside.
They must have been either fri 1htened
away or discouraged, as. no powder was
used about the safe. Mr.. Chandler is in
a dilemma as to how he is going to sopen
his safe.

END OF THE FARIsAuLT PLAN.
What it Was, the Discussion it Caused and
How 1t Worked.

New York, Septem Der 15-A Faribault,
Mimi, despatch to the Sun says: The
Faribault plan, famous wherever the
jurisdiction of the Holy See of Rome ex-
tends, is dead.
Father Conroy, pastor of the, Church of
the Immaculate Conception, which on
October 20, 1891, transferred its parochial
schools to the city of Faribault, appeared
before the Board of Education yesterday
afternoon and said that the Catholics of
Faribault could no longer consent to the
assignment of two Protestant teachers to
the old parochial school.
The Board Of Education at once an
nulled its lease, which would have ex-
pired on October %, and today all Protes-
tant children were withdrawn from the
school, The two Protestant teachers left
also, and henceforth it will be conducted
as of old, as a strictly parochial school.
The same action was taken in Still
water, where a parochial school was
transferred to the Board of Education
about year ago and the Faribault plan
is at last dead.
On October %, 1891, Father Conroy
submitted a proposition to the Board of
Education of this city ofss6000 inhabitants
for merging the parochial schools with
the public school system.
Father Conroy gave as his reasons for
this step the desire that the children
then enrolled in the parochial school
might receive the benefits that result
from an American training in all that
word implies and the custodians of the
public schools in Faribault might receive
the additional tax from the county and
state which it would not receive so long
as the school was conducted in the in
terests of the Catholic church.
The Board of Education accepted the
proposition, and the lease was made out
for one year for a consideration of 81.
Then gcame the storm from both Protes-
tants and Catholics.
So hot became the discussion and so
fierce waged the battle that Arch bishop
Ireland, the promulgator of the plan,
went to Rome and secured the famous
tolerant protest decision, which was
translated as the liberation of the Holy
See for the plan
Archbishop Ireland said the Pope's
decision was meant only for exceptional
cases, and that the edict was against the
general adoption of this radical departure
from established policy.
The plan in Faribault reached a cisis in
July, 1892, when nine of the Protestant
teachers resigned, dissatisfied with the
workings of the plan.
A month later, however, Faribault
voted to continue the plan, and lease
was made, for another year. The plan
has been working lily, and since then
Papal Delegate Satolli has conferred
with Archbishop ireland, and the result
of this conference is that Arch bishop
Ireland ordered Father Conroy to take
the step which yesterday gave the death
blow to the Faribault plan. The local
feeling is that the proper step has been
taken, as the sentiment has grown strong
that the Catholics favored the Faribault
plan because it saved them the expense
of supporting the school. Now, however.
Catholic teachers have again been en-
gagged, and the parochial school will
again be all that the name implies.

ALL CT ONE FAMILY DEAD.
Kisses of Death Given Guests at a We'd
ding Reception.

jamestown, N. Y, September 10
Kisses at wedding feast were recently
the cause of funerals i'll Kiantone, town
five miles from here. 1t was the we'd
ding of Maude Aiken to Charles Amsden
The wedding was set for August 16,
at the home of the bride, and large
number of guests from various places
were asked to participate. A few days
previous to the nuptials the bride-elect
complained of feeling indisposed, and
DR.. II. P. Hall of this city was called.
He found her, as he says, suffering from
a slight cold, but advised that post
ponement of the wedding was unnecessa-
ry.
The guests gathered in large numbers
on the evening of the marriage, and
many of the favored ones awaited them
selves of the privilege of kissing the
bride. Two days later two of the guests
were attacked with diphtheria, and four
days only elapsed before the bride and q
large number of others who had been
present were similarly afflicted. Thus
far, from IL to Is cases in this city, Khan
tone and other places have been traced
directly to the wedding, and it is though
that the gathering was the indirect
cause of many more.
One of the saddest features of the
case, however, is the extinction of the
family of Ransom Bratt of Kiantone,
consisting of himself, wife and bright
little daughter. They were among the
guests of the evening, and among the
first to offer to kiss the bride. Soon af-
terward they were all taken ill with
diphtheria, and all died of the dread dis
ease. No other deaths are reported.
DR.. Hall, in an interview, stoutly main
tains that the bride was in perfect health
on the night Of her marriage, and insists
that the disease germs must have been
disseminated by some other person pres

The Little Rod schoo,house.

The essential value of teaching, from
the district school up to the university
lies, believe, in the contact Of mind
and character between the teacher anG
taught, and il this be so, then the little
red schoolhouse, with its single teacher
and few pupils, is better institution
than tho big schoolhouse, with 80 OF
more scholars to the teacher and occa.
sional visits from other skilled instruct
ors. Were I school committee man
or an overseer Of Harvard college,
would ransack heaven and earth, if pos
sible, to find teachers with some origi
nality Of intellect and with that force
and virility Of character which impress
themselves upon the plastic minds ant
hearts Of young people. And, having
found them, should trouble myself verl
little about courses" and textbooks and
laboratory implements.
/ venture to state this as a genera
proposition: Wherever teaching has beel
recognized as peculiarly successful
whether in schools or universities, tn
success has been due to the ability Of tn
instructor and not to the excellence

ness Of the appliances through which h
