hammedanism Gets a Hot Reception.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9l.-President Bonny,
| chief of the Worlds Fair Congress Aux
| Hilary, has refused to allow the Inter
national Congress of Free Thinkers the
use of the art institute, the now famous
structure in which the Parliament OF
| Religion is being held. Mr.. Benny
says he .-;ll not sanction the use OF
| the hall by any body likely TO criticise
| the church or drag the name of the
Creator in the mre. The Free Think
ers have secured another hall, how
| ever, and will meet October /.
| For the first time speaker in the
, parliament of religion was interrupted
Wednesday by those in the audience,
| who took exception to what he was
saying Mohammed Webb, tho Eng.
lish convert to Islam, raised storm by
attempting to defend polygamy. The
dropped the subject in despair. In the
yells of protest many female voices
could be plainly heard above the din.
Mr.. Webb had stated that polygamy
Is not necessary TO the Islamic faith,
and added: 'lt would be great curse
to this country while it might be bene
fetal in some other places"
The statement apparently was an ur.
fortunate one, for an emphatic chorus
of mo, no." arose from the gallery,
and was taken up in other parts of the
hall. The speaker seemed surprised at
the anti-polygamy enthusiasm he had
called forth, but he evidently was not
prepared to retract, for as soon as quiet
was restored, he continued: "It is a
matter of conditions merely. / was OF
your opinion once, but know it can be
beneficial"
Again he was greeted with marked
expressions of disapproval, the energy
of which was unpleasantly suggestive.
But Mr.. Webb stood his ground and de.
clared:
mo one is qualified to judge who
does not understand it's theory and
practice. You in this country are not
qualified to judge of conditions existing
in another. l say that a man can be a
good and pure man and practice polyg-

Then the storm broke forth with re-

cries were continued until the speaker,
consulting discretion, dropped the sub

BELMAR, N. j., Sept. 2s.-In early
spring a band of Canadian Indians
came to this village to establish bas.
ket making industry. There were
forty or more of them and they came
from near the city of Montreal Next
door to the store they opened on F street
was the cottage of s. L. Gillen, a real
estate clerk. With him dwelt step.
niece, pretty Mamie Gillen. She is 16,
tall and well-formed From her
Polish mother she inherits dark,
gypsy-like beauty that gives her an
Indian squaw's appearance. When
the Indians arrived here they at.
tracted no little attention from
the people. Mamie seemed to be
infatuated with the process of making
baskets, but nothing was thought of it.
She made friends with some of the
young squaws and braves and was with
them constantly in the evenings after
she had finished her work in the Office.
Mamie frequently spoke of the desire
to learn to make baskets and live az
the Indians did.
Now she is missing, and she is be.
lieved to be with her duslzy friends.
The Indians left for Canada on Monday
of last week. Mamie disappeared the
same day and no trace of her move
ments can be found by her relatives
Before leaving her home Mamie packed
up all of her clothing and her little
trinkets and succeeded in getting
them out of the house without be-
ing detected by her relatives. No word
has boen received from the missing
girl since she disappeared. She die
not board the train with the Indians
but her relatives are positive in theil
belief that she has gone to Canada with
them.
The leader of the tribe was tall
handsome young fellow, who wa.
known as Chief Masta. The missing
girl is well educated and bright. He,
relatives have not taken and will moi
take any step to bring her back from
her squaw life.

SECRET SOCIETY BAN.

II Is to Be Removed by the Catholic
Church-Outcome of the Secret Council
Of Archbishops Held in Chicago Re-
Gently.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Within q few
days there will be forwarded to Rome
an elaborate report of the proceedings
of the secret council of Catholic arch
bishops held last week in Chicago, to.
gether with q number of recommends
tions that are submitted for the con.
sideration and judgment of the holy
father Under the rules of the church
no official statement regarding these
proposals can be made public until they
have been passed upon by the vatican,
but it is understood upon eminent au
thorities that if one at least of the sug
gestions is approved large number oi
secret societies will very shortly be re.
moved from the ban of the church.
These will include about all of the
organizations which are of a fraternal
and benevolent nature, having sicl,
benefits and death insurance, and the
oaths which simply pledge the members
to be true to their country and the order
with which they are identified. Should
the recommendations of the arch.
bishops in this connection be ratified, il
would enable hundreds of thousands o1
members of the Catholic church tc
identify themselves with fraternal so
cieties which are now under the bar
simply because of their secret charac
ter.
1t is also understood that the report
ordially indorsed the suggestion thai
has already come from the vatican con
cerning the erection of permanent
residence for Mgr. Satolli, the papa
legate, and suggested a method by
which the necessary funds may be sub
scribed by nominal contributions from
every Catholic priest in the United
States. A broadening of the curricu
lum of studies at Washington univer
sity is also strongly favored.
The report is replete with expression
of devotion to the pope, and expresse.
the qualification of the faithful in thi.
country at the fact that he still contin
ues in an excellent state of health.

The Russian Warship Pousalka-Ten Onli-
GERS and One Hundred and Fifty Seamen
Drowned.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 25.-
Fragments of woodwork, coats and
other wreckage have foated ashore in
the Gulf of Finland, showing that the
Russian warship Pousalka, with ten
officers and $50 seamen, has foundered
and that all hands are lost.
The Pousalka sailed on Tuesday from
Revel, in the Gulf of Finland, for Hell
ingsport, in the same gulf, and has not
been heard from since.
The Pousalka had four and one-half
inches of armor, carried four nine-inch
guns, was of two thousand tons dis
placement, had 7s6 indicated horse
power,was classed as having speed OF
eighteen knots and was built in 1867.
The body of n sailor, supposed to have
belonged to the crew, has been washed
ashore in the Gulf of Finland, and it is
known that severe gales swept over
those waters soon after she left port.
There is no doubt, as the admiralty
states, that the Pousalka has foun-
dered.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 25.-Another
conference of the joint scale committee
of the Amalgamated Association OF the
Iron and Steel Workers and Manufac-
turers will take place this week, and
the workmen will concede the 1O-per-
cent. reduction in the finisher's depart
ment, which they refused when the
conference was in session last July.
Two weeks ago the A,nalgamated
Association voted down proposition
to reconvene the conference, bit the
lodges have since reconsidcred this and
are now ready to meet the manufac-
turers and sign the scale at the reduced
rate. If the question is settled at the
next meeting, it is probable that the
mills throughout the country which
are now idle will resume operations.
The reduction will affect the wages OF
10000 men, and will give employment
to $4,000 paen. At present about two
thirds of che mills in the country gov
erned by the Amalgamated scale are

Dowell, Smith county, was suspected
by neighbors of committing several
robberies.
He heard they We're after him and
hid. Monday he was found, and mob

drawn tight. He was then lowered,
and, after being revived, whipped with
OK whips.
Satisfied with the torture the mob
released Jones. Tuesday night Jones'

FOR STUDENTS OF NATURE.

A sPIDER's eyes are not in his head,
but in the upper part Of the thorax.
The longest animal known to exist is
the rorqual, which averages 100 feet in
length.
In proportion to it's size, the horse
has smaller stomach than any other
quadruped.
BUsHMEN and negroes possess a more
prominent and narrow chest than the
white races, whose chest is broader
and flatter.
The flea is covered with armored
plates, very hard, and overlapping
each other. Each is set with spikes and
bends in conformity with the move
ment of the body.
Dew is the greatest respecter of
colors. To prove this take pieces Of
glass or boards and paint them red,
yellow, green and black. Expose them
at night, and you win find that the
yellow will be covered with moisture,
that the green will be damp, but that
the red and black will be left perfectly
dry.
