James Fuller, Colored, Puts His
Trust in Man and Gets Left.
James Fuller, colored, is anxious to
know something of the whereabouts of a
horse and wagon owned by him. Fuller
lives at No "a Purse street
Tuesday morning a young white man
came to him and hired his horse to move
some goods, as he said. Fuller let him
have the horse and wagon without sus-
pecting anything. When the horse and
wagon were not returned, however, he
began to grow anxious. The next day he
heard that two young men had been seen
with the horse and wagon at butcher
shop in the southern part of the city, and
later he heard that they had been seen at
Monteith, where they offered the horse
and wagon for sale.
Fuller laid the case before County De-
tective Morgan yesterday. He described
the man who hired the horse from him as
about five feet seven inches in hight,
slender, and about 81 years of age. He
had never seen him before and did not
know his name. He values the horse and
wagon al 500.

would be no show, bur the squat went
over with few drops of rain and the
shows were given without any inter
ference.

first, on account of the threatening
weather, as the pictures could be given

Certified to as to Health.


Certified to AS to Health.
Collector of Customs Beckwith has re-
ceived a circular from the Secretary of

health, which is of interest to ship
owners having vessels trading with
United States ports.
Every vessel arriving from a foreign
port is required by law to present to the

health from the port whence she sailed,
and any failure to procure the necessary
document, through negligence or other
wise, will cause considerable incon-
venience and expense
The circular issued by the bureau of
navigation directs collectors of ports to
notify the Secretary of the Treasury
promptly by telegraph of the arrival in
port OF any vessel from a foreign port
without the consular bill of health pre-
scrlbed by the act of Feb. Is, 1893. This
notification must state the port of clear
ance of the vessel and any ports of cali,
win the dates of each, number and class
or passengers, general nature of cargo,
ana the present sanitary condition of the
vessel as reported by the quarantine or
health authorities of the port entered.
ne collector will thereupon be instructed
by the department as to the entry of the
vessel.
The collector is also instructed TO notify
the United States attorney of his district
OF the violation of law, and to report
thereafter TO the department the mas
ter's reasons for failure TO produce the
required bill of health, giving his judg-
ment OF their validity, and any mitigating
circumstances.

the houses into the street. and everybody
took hand in the capture of the horse

Editor Morning News:-A few nights
ago entered one Of our churches for the
purpose of engaging in worship The
minister, early in his sermon stated that
the object of science and of scientific men
IS, and always has been, to get rid of
God.
An astounding statement to be made
before people rho know that the aim of
science is to discover and make use of
truth, and TO drag to light and destroy
error. How mighty she is on this line
and how true it is that no weapon over
drawn against her by the church, or any
other power, has prospered
During the remainder of the servi ce
mentioned found it impossible to wor-
ship with that preacher for leader and
! have often felt my indignation aroused
by equally unjust statements from other
preachers. Is it strange that so many
pews are empty on Sunday when the
learning, the intelligence, and the sense
of Justice of people are iusulted in such a
way2 Writers have time and again. in
books and magazines, protested against
this senseless abuse of scientific men who
are, and who must be necessarily, earnest
seekers after truth. 1t is true that
science is rapidly pulling down much of
the old and efete theology that has in the
past kept the minds Of men in chains, but
she Will never be able to destroy re-
ligion, and it is not her purpose or wish to
do so. Therefore she can never become the
enemy OF God, as some seem to fear. AS
one who has for many years devoted
much time to the study of both religion and
science, who thoroughly understands the
spirit and the intention of each and who
always rejoices to learn of any advance Of
either of these mighty forces for good,
would appeal to our ministers TO confne
their efforts to the upbuilding of religion
among men. and cease to wage warfare
that can never overthrow science, for
she is inyipcible, but can, and does, and
always will diminish the church's in
tuence for good. j. M. PALM.
