The New Chicago Religion.
Nelg York sun.

II the people who go to the Chicago
fair have time to spare after going
through the multitude OF buildings to
look at the display they are to have a
chauce TO hear all sorts Of philosophers
aud social and religious doctors talk in
many languages upon every kind OF
troublesome and insolube question. A
great feature Of the exhibition is to be
sundry parliaments, as they are demon
strated In the scheme Of the managers.
The parliament to which the Chicago
people seem to be looking forward with
the most eagerness is 1.-THE worlds first
parliament OF religions" 1t is to be
convened on the 18th day of next Sep
TENDER, and it will be polyglOt con-
gress representatives OF ''all the shades
of Christianity, including the orthodox
Greek and the Russian churches, North
ern and Southern Buddhism, Contn-
cianism, ShintOism, ZoroaStrianism Jul
daism, MohammedaniSm. and the var
ious forms of Hindu
Every kind of religion will get q show
and each will have a fair field in the
competition, for enlightened Chicago
has no prejudiceS in the matter. Chris
tian missionaries from the east will sit
''on terms Of religious equality" with
their old adverSaries. ZitZuzen Ashitzu,
the Buddhist monk, Ii. Dharmapala,
the secretary OF the Buddhist Society
of the Buddha Gaya Maha Bodhi, which
is engaged in an attempt to substitute
Buddhism for Christianity the world
over, and Moslem, Zoroastrian and Mo-
h&mmedan scholars.
An especially exhilarating part OF the
entertainment will be the reading by
proxy OF paper on orthodox Hinduism
by Nikanth Vithal Shastri, 1.-THE pecu-
liar features OF caste preventing ortho-
dox adherents of that faith crossing the
ocean," Other eloquent speakers ex-
pected are Jinanji Jamshedji Moi, a
Bombay Zoroastrian; Pung Kwang Yu,
of China, and Prof. BunyiunaDjio, OF
Japan.
Evidently the parliament of religions
will be a high treat, but we are sur
priSed that we do not find Hierophant
Olcott among the delegates and orators.
Neither DO we see the name OF the
Yankee Mohammedan, Webb, though
they both speak language which is
understood in Chicago.
Nor can we make out exactly what
the parliament proposes to accomplish,
though of course there would be no rea-
son for it's existence if it really had a
definite end in view. 1t is possible,
however that the Chicago scheme is to
get up some kind OF new and COM
pound religion, which shall include and
satisfy every variety OF religious and
irreligiods opinion.
1t is a big job to get up new and
eclectic religion satisfactory all around;
but Chicago is confident that it can
.hnish up the business on the 27th Of
next September.

GIGANTIC PENSION FRAUDS.
100000 Supposed 20 Have Been Taken
Improperly by One ATTORNEY.

Improperly by One Attorney.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10.-The
Pension Department believes II has un-
earthed stupendOuS pension frauds. An
attorney OF Norfolk, Va, named w. IL.
Drewry now under arrest, is charged
With securing fraudulent pension
claims by the wholesale, using as his
instruments in many cases cOlored wo-
men and men who could not read or
write. About twelve months ago Secre-
tary Noble ordered three cases dropped
from the pension rolls that Drewry
had secured, and later on he was de-
barred from practice. When the pres
ent administration came into power
thorough investigation was made into
eases that DrewrY had secured, and
when II was concluded few days since
IL was discovered that about 9S per
cent. OF the cases be had handled under
the act OF June 81, 1890, were secured
through the filing OF false declarations.
The extent OF the frauds can be IN
derstOOd when 10 is stated that 100 ca
ses were granted, and every one OF
them carried arrears. The importance
OF the discoveries nsceSsitated prompt
action aud A. ID. Albert, supervising ex-
aminer for the Southern District, with
several assistants were immediately
sent TO Norfolk where they are pursu-
ing their Investigations. They have
learned that Drewry did thriving bu-
siness. In his Office, occupying desk
room, was a NatOry Public named b. A.
Richardson, Jr. When Richardson
went Out OF the Office DrewrY used the
AdtorieS> seal. attesting the false evil
,dence which he had prepared and for
warding them 10 this city. Richard
son is said 10 have been ignorant Of the
use 10 which his seal had been put, and
Drewry has already been convicted for
forging the nOtary'S name and seal.
The result Of the examiners work
will be shown next Monday. The Uni
ted States Court meets in Norfolk on
that day and several pension cases will
DO brought before il. II is expected
that the fraudulent pensioners will soon
be dropped from the rolls, aud a series
OF prosecutions commenced. Drewry
was arrested about year ago on the
charge Of securing fraudulent pensions,
but owing, IL is said, TO laxneSS on the
part of the local authorities escaped
punishment. The amount will not be
known until the special examiners make
their rapport, but as the arrears In con-
siderable sums have been paid in many
Of the 166 fraudulent cases the steals
will probably aggregate 100000.

A. naturalist, who is both an ardent
student in bis branch Of science and alb
sent minded to a decree which keeps
his family on the alert, recently cele-
brated his silver wedding, says the But
falo Commercial Many guests were in
vited for the occasion and the house
was made ready for the reception OF the
company. Just as the first guest ar
rived one Of the daughters was sent to
summon the father, who had not come
from the study. Care had been taken
that he should be reminded to dress In
time, so he was all ready, and at the
summons OF the daughter he came TO
the drawing-roOm.
When they reached the room the
daughter noticed that he carried In his
hand small wooden box, and as be
shook hands with the nearest guest she
saw him drop It, The cover rolled OIL,
but she gave sigh OF relief when she
saw that the box was apparently empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered cry
OF dismay, and instantly went down on
his hands aud knees In an attempt TO
gather uD something. "Have you
spilled anything, father?" she asked.
SPILLED anythIng?" ho echoed, in
evident indignation az her calm
tone: II have lost fifty fleas that have
just received from Egypt" The effect
Of this intelligence on the family was
nothing in comparison TO the effect the
catastrophe had upon the company be-
fore the evening was over; and the only
thing the naturalist said TO his friends
in answer To their congratulations upon
his happy married life, so his daughters
declared after all was over, was TO ask
that If they carried away any of his
Egyptian leas they would return the
insects TO him.
