The discussion over the alleged un- soundness of President w. R. Harper, of the University of Chicago, in regard to the Bible is still going on. In the Examiner, an influential Baptist paper, Professor A. T. Robertson, of Louis- vile, Kentucky, institutes a careful comparison of President Harper's views on the Bible with those of the late Pro- lessor Kuenen, the great Dutch Biblical critic. As result of such comparison he finds that the difference between the two lies in the fact that Kuenen follows his theory to it's logical conclu- sion, while President Harper does not. Kuenen, for instance, says that many of the stories in Genesis are myths. President Harper says they are 'ideal- ized histories" which, in the opinion of Professor Robertson, is the same as saying that they are myths.

SODA WATER. OR WHAT?

The Rev. Dr. Smyths last letter to
 the board of police commissioners calls for 8 reply. and many of the people of New Haven are waiting interestedly to see what the reply will be. Perhaps it
 will be call for more specifications, although there are some in the letter. Indeed, we don't see how the commits sioncrs can well avoid calling for more specifications this time, for Dr. Smyth says to them: Should you at any time desire us to go more fully into details of names, facts and reasons, we are ready under reasonable conditions to appear before you at any executive session of the board" This offer means that Dr. Smyth and those acting with him stand ready to give the police com- sioners accurate and trustworthy infor- mation which will assist them in doing their duty by the people of New Haven They cannot ignore or decline this offer without giving Dr. Smyth and his asso- ciates an unmerited slap in the face and without declaring, in effect, that they are not as anxious about doing their duty as about something else.
 Gentlemen of the Police board, hasn't this matter gone about far enough for city like New Haven, which has chur ches within a few rods of the cen- tral police station, and which has not yet evolved "pantatas?" Must the pastor of one of those churches and those whom he represents be silently CT vociferously "bluffed" when he and they respectfully and clearly show that the Police commissioners haven't done their duty and offer to help them do it? If they must and are, the good people of New Haven will begin to really be- lieve that the Police depa rtment is run in the interest of soda water instead of in the interest of the community. IL is time for those members of the board who are not fatally bound by the soda water habit to assert themselves and stand up for their own populations and for the good of the people, who are not
 much fooled by what has been going on.

Ex-Master Workman Terence V. Pow- derly was admitted to the bar last week in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This Is the continuation of an intention formed prior to 1878, on March Ii of which year MT.

The Democrats Of New York

The Democrats Of New York |
are divided, some of them will not
vote for Hill. They will probably |
put another candidate against him,
to cause bis defeat.
Look how neat and attractive
are the display ads. in this paper. |
Every merchant who wishes to
keep himself in the mind of the
people, and let them know the
bargains they have. should have q
little space in the MESSENGER.
Try its effectiveness.
The Sunday law move that
was made here some time ago
that had the effect of closing every
establishment in this town, was
purely a local affair, as we learn
that all the country stores and
other towns in this parish are all
open on Sundays, and do q large
business. Why not make round
of the parish and close everybody
if you want to enforce the law.
Are they not violating the law as
did our people? Enforce the law
throughout the parish, if you can
not do it drop the matter entirely.
1T appears that Democrats are
scarce in Plaquemine parish. Gov.
Foster removed Mr.. Kernochan
the planters candidate for Con-
gress, from the presidency of the
police jury of Plaquemine parish
: and to fill the vacancy thus caus-
ed by this honored gentlemen, has
appointed Bernard Meyer, who
was years ago a Republican tool
but who reformed and of late be
/ came a Democrat. Since Mr.. Me
yer became a justice of the peace
, and while q justice of the peace
, in 1885 extorted money from hi
constituents, the grand jury founs
a true bill against him, the petit
r jury returned a verdict of guilt,
and the Judge passed sentence up
on him. Such is the appointment
of Gov. Foster to replace q gentle
4, man. But MI. Kernochsp is nei
Their a tool or q fool, and tolc +
Gov. Foster that he has no RICH
or authority to remove him, an
still holds his Office and presids

mine.

and Mr.. Metschan gives me the follow
ing information: He made an appor-
tionment of all funds on hand in August
last. the amount per capita at that time
being 81 cents. This money was for
warded to the several county treasurers,
and presume you have distributed this
money to the schools of your county
long ago. Mr.. Metschan tells me that
owing to the extreme stringency of the
times, it is impossible for him to collect
the interest due on the school fund notes
now held by people in all parts of the
state. You understand that this fund
arises from the interest on the irreduci-
BILE school land fund, and the school
land fund arises from the purchases of
school land by people in all parts of the
state. The principal itself cannot be
distributed to the children of the state,
but interest only. The state treasurer
finds it, as stated above, quite out of the
question to collect interest to any appre-
ciable amount and it would be useless to
foreclose the notes held against the
people for the shrinkage in real estate
values has been SO enormous that it
would be practically of no avail for the
state board to forecIose. He states that
many persons whose notes the state now
holds and whohave he, etofore been very
prompt in paying their interest on this
fund are now pleading for further time
in which to pay their delinquent interest.
The above are the reasons why large
amount of the school funds has not been
distributed this year, and 1 trust that
you will make this plain to all boards of
directors making inquiry of you regard
this matter. I remain,
Yours very sincerely,
E. B. McELRoY,
State Supt. Pub. Instruction.

years was able to give them, He gath

be had.

MADE A BIG HAUL.
THE EXPRESS OFFICE RoBBED
SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Thieves Got Away with S1a 800
in Gold and $500 silver, Weigh
ing 1sO Pounds.

The express Office was robbed Satur-
day night just after the arrival of the IL
O'Clock passenger. Agent Hill went to
the train instead of Mr.. Tibbetts, who
was attending the ball, and after receiv-
ing the express box, he had Night
Watchman Gibbons accompany him to
the Office. The box was placed Just in
side the door, which was locked, while
Mr.. Hill went to the postoffice with the
mail and to deliver sack of oysters,
which had come up by express, to the
Branner restaurant. Marshal Blakeney
came back with him. and on the way
they passed Mr.. NJ. A. Moody, who,
having money in the box, as is his
usual custom, was on his way to the
Office to get it and place it in the vault.
When Hill and Blakeney entered the
| Office they at once discovered that the
box had been broken open and the con-
tents, or most of them, had been taken.
Mr.. Moody came in by this time, and an
examination was made of the room, "a
tag from shipment of silver and the
instrument with which the box was
| OAOACA OPCA ACWdIOiuS IuO1T SOdfCu.
The latter was evidently made for the
purpose from an old drill. One end was
sharpened like cold chisel, the other
was hammered into square shspe,
drawn out to point, and then bent in
quarter circle or hook. The marks in
the box show that the thief first inserted
the point of the hook in the staple and
tried to pry it out, but failing in this, he
inserted it in the arm of the paddock
and twisted it off.
The robbery occurred between. IL 80
and 1915, so that the thief was evil
IDENTIFY on the watch, and the robbery
was deliberately planned. The box
contained 81 800 in gold and $4,000 in
silver consigned to French & Co., and
81, 900 gold consigned to The Dalles Ma
tional bank. The gold was all taken
and 81 800 in silver, making weight OF
about lSO pounds, which is probably the
reason the other 81 900 was not taken,
as it would. have added sixty pounds tc
the weight.
Mr.. Hill, evidently acting under in
structions, refuses to talk of the matter
at all; but as far as can be learned nc
tangible clues have yet been found as tc
the identity of the robber.
