SAYS IT'S PANTHEISM
While By Others 1t Is Called the
"New Woman"

New York, Oct. 6.-The New York
presbytery at it's regular bi-monthly SEES
sion considered matter which excited
a great deal of interest among the men,
bers of the presbytery. 1t was the re-
port of the special committee, of which
DIR. Wylie was chairman, appointed AT
the June session to consider the re
markable" resolution of the Rev. Peter
y. Easton of Tabriz, Persia, offered by
him at that time. The Rev. Mr.. Easton
has a strongly developed aversion for the
new woman" He declares in his reso-
lutions that 'insidious, pantheistic errors
are creeping into the church. such as the
motherhood of God, the supremacy OF
God, the supremacy OF woman ana the
partnership idea of marriage, errors
which are not only foreign. but contrary
to the Word of God, which blaspheme
His holy name. subvert the foundations
of religion and morality, enGender law
lessness and RIGHTEOUSNESS. and threaten
the very existence of society,"
DIR. Wylie. in his report for the com
mittee, said that, while the resolutions
contain many excellent statements" the
committee believed that the heart of the
church was right upon all these questions
and recommended that no further actor
be taken.
When, however, DIR. Forbes called FOL
remarks before putting the question OF
approving the report to vote, Mr.. castor
sprang to his feet and said: 81 come
home to this country and find the brethren
in my own denomination standing up il
their pulpits and preaching the mother
hood of God While we are sending ou
missionaries to the heather, | find that
the pantheistic doctrines which prevail il
Persia are being preached in this country
in Christian pulDits. The. advocacy o.
the supremacy of woman is sheer pan
theism and it is unchristian to say tina
there is an equality Of the sexes. Al
the doctrine of the fatherhood Of Coo
and the headship Of man go together. 81
the doctrine of the motherhood of Coz
and the emancipation of woman mus
go hand in hand. Such doctrine il
vile, as well as unchristian."
After Mr.. Easton had finished speak
ing the question was put to vote, apd thu
committees report was approved withou
dissenting voice.

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS OF
FICE LAST MONTH.
DETECTIVE SAVILLE LOCATED
HIM IN BALTIMORE.
Admits Taking the Money and Will
Return Without Requisition Papers.
Says He Rolled EN- High and is
Now Penniless.

Baltimore, Oct 6.-John Don Farden,
alias I. ]. Franklin, was arrested here
today for stating $4,000 from the office
of the Adams Express company at Terre
Haute, Ind. The arrest was brought
about by John r. Saville, detective,
who has been working on hte case since
the larceny occurred, September 6. The
detective said Farden was employed as
cashier of the express company, and on
that date he put a package containing
$4,000 in his pocket and disappeared.
He was traced to Washington and then
to Baltimore. Saville found him in n
clearinghouse on West Fayette street.
where he was arrested. Farden adj
mitted that he had taken the money, and
said he was willing to return to Terre
Haute without the formality of requisi-
ton papers. II.
Detective Saville will probably leave
for the West with his prisoner tomorrow,
Farden stated to the authorities that he
spent every cent of his share of the$16,-
600 in fast living. He was without. a

in the Adams express office at Terre
Haute, and for fourteen months had
Deen putting up uuoHey lol IhC SApiS 's'
company's agent at that place, who, it
was discovered, was short in his ac-
counts. When the auditor of the com
pany would visit the Office to examine the
agents books Farden would temporarily
place money he handled in the agents
drawer to balance the accounts. In
September last he put package contain
ing $4,000. The agent cut it open and
at the same time proposed that they di-
vide the money and leave the State. The
agent gave Farden $4,000 and retained
the remaining $11 900 himself. That day
Farden deserted his wife and children
and left the city, going to New YORK,
where he spent some time. From there
he Travelled to New Orleans, where he re-
NAMED until he left for this city, ar
irving last Friday:
Farden also said that the express agent
in the case left Terre Haute on the same
day he did. Farden was traced to New
York. thence to New Orleans, and tnally,
to this city. In every place the accused
is said to have been high roller ana TO
have spent money freely. Farden was
formerly employed in the treasury de-
nortment at Washington, and after
wards was an examiner in the, pension
department. He was first employed ny

sought in vain. He supplies through
Durrant himself the proof that the ac-
cused student was not at the lecture
delivered by DR.. w. T. Cheney on April
3. He explained why Durrant quiz
zed" with q. f. CHASER on April 10. He
reveals Durrant's purpose in asking why
an attorney for the defense copied Glas-
er's notes in full after they had been
placed in custody of the proper clerk of
the police department. He uncovers the
motive which inspired Durrant to plead
with 9. V. Cross and ask him to remem-
Der that they talked on the steps of
Cooper college until they were late for
DR.. Cheney's lecture.
Graham comes into the case as a wit
ness of the greatest possible importance
to destroy the possible abb which Dur
rant has attempted to prove.
For the sake of his friend, Graham
held back the most important part of
ms knowledge of the case, but now
he tells it all just as it occurred.

GHOULS IN A CHURCHYARD.
They Dug Up Corpse and Robbed i
of Ring.

Tuckahoe, N. j., Oct. G.-The discovery
that n grave in the cemetery at the head
of Tuckahoe river, about four mics
above the village, had been despoiled mas
caused the widest excitement here. The
discovery was made by persons who
visited the isolated churchyard just be-
fore dark last Saturday evening.
Justice Of the Peace Shoemaker and
a company of indignant citizens at once
drove in hot haste to the century.old
city of the dead. They soon found thai
the grave of May Wallace, wife of Johr
Wallace, Jr., whose body was burietc
over two weeks ago, had been opened
the box Wrenched apart and the ild o.
the coffin removed. The corpse had eyl
IDENTIFY been taken out and small golt
ring removed from the finger of one hand
The ghouls had thrown the lid of tho
casket back into the open grave, leayini
the remains partly exposed to view. Ih'
removal of the ring furnishes the only
motive for the cruel outrage. On'
theory is that it is the work of Gran
berry pickers who are encamped rev
miles away. but this idea is not gener
ally credited. -,
It is now stated that woman by thu
name of Camp passed the lonely spo
last Thursday and noticed pile of eartl
near the grave, but thought nothing o.
the matter until the discovery of the eX
huming of the corpse was made.
1t is said that an effort will be made
TO have the boards of freeholders of AT
lantic and Cape May counties offer re
ward for the apprehension of the ghouls

SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
The Chicago Committee Appeals to Clti'
zens of the United States.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The committee APP
pointed by the mass meeting of Septem,
Der 30 to express sympathy with the
Cubans has issued an appeal to their lei
low citizens throughout the United States
to call similar meetings not later than
October 81.
The call says in part: ''Let a deaf
ear be turned to the selfish argument
that we are now in no wise interested
in the issue of the present conflict be
tween Spain and Cuba, and that the IS
sue itself being involved in doubt, We
should abstain from any interference
The cause of liberty is involved, in which
as directly affecting our near islanc
neighbor, all liberty loving American:
should be interested. extending at least
the moral aid of their sympathy ano
encouragement to the struggling Cubaan'
and leaving the consequences to the Su
preme Ruler of nations"

RELIEF FROM THE LEMON FAM
ME

New York, Oct. 6.-The lemon famine,
which has been causing the housewives
of this city 80 much annoyance for the
last few weeks, will probably, be remov,,
ed. temporarily, at least, by the arrival
here of two big cargoes of the popular
fruit. Not since 1888, when lemons
were quoted at $16 box, have they
been SO high as at present. Last week
lemons sold Mt auction by the box at
S1O.25 and by the case at $3.50. while
the thrifty buyer for the household had
TO pay from 40 to 80 cents dozen from
the retailers.
The steamer Sylvia arrived here yes
terday from Messina and Palermo with
n cargo of lemons, consisting OF over
$4,000 boxes, and the steamer Victoria,
from Malaga, Spain, is due in few days
with $4,000 boxes more. The greater
portion of these cargoes will be sold ut
auction by Browne Il Secombe, and, as
one of their representatives said yester-
day, "the gilt edge will probably be taken
off the market" No one could be found
who would attempt to place probable
price on the new arrivals, but it is con-
servatively thought that they will reduce
the wholesale or auction price at least
50 box.

THE .RAPIST ESCAPED.

Memphis, Oct. 6.-After being chased
for 10 miles by mob. Jeff Ellis, the
negro rapist, whose crime yesterday
aroused the residents of Brandon and
Mason, Tenn, to high pitch of excite
ment, made his escape. The negro took
refuge in the house with his father, two
brothers and several friends, the party
holding the mob at bay until Jeff Ellis,
under cover of the fire of his friends.
made his escape. The firing lasted all
night, but no one was hurt. When it
was found that the culprit had escaped
posse started in pursuit. They found
the negro's trail, which was followed for
10 miles and abandoned. A party with
dogs and fresh horses started out this
afternoon to continue the hunt.

TILLMAN SCORES A POM

The South Carolina constitutional con-
yention refused TO accept an amendment
denying to the negro the right TO hold
Office in that State. The proposition,
strange to say, was defeated principally
through the efforts of Senator 9illman,
who made a enthusiastically vehement
speech, in which he said that If the mem
beers of the convention approved II they
would be ruined. The author OF the
amendment, Colonel Robert Alrieh,
made an ingenious speech in favor Of his
amendment, in which he commended that
the right had never been given TO the
negro to hold Office by the Federal consii-
tuition or by the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. Senator Tillman Is az ex-
tremist and an agitator, whose advice
would hardly be sought by those III need
of prudent counsel. In this case, how
ever, he has proved to be singularly as
tute and conservative. The adoption OF
such an amendment would have exposed
fhe convention to the charge Of pursuing
a yengeful and proscriptiye policy toward
the negro, and even IL the amendment
were not in conflict with the Federal
constitution it would still do violence TO
the feelings of conservative men In the
South as well as in the North. Balti-

DISTRIBUTES ANARCHIST LITER
.t ATTIRE

DISTRIBUTES ANARCHIST LITER
AZURE.
Chicago, Oct. 5.-Officers last night
arrested Alexander Benjamin, anarchist,
for distributing obnoxious handbills in
the neighborhood of Paulina and Au-
gusta streets. The Objectionable matter
was extremely infammatory, containing
such sentences as Remove your police
and meet us on the platform" and "the
basis of government throughout the
world being neither goodness nor justice
the great lesson mankind have to learn
is how they can speedily deliver them
selves from the moral and political theo-
ries which enslave them"
Other papers such as "Rebel and Fire
brand" are being distributed, and Inspec-
tor Setback, who does not try to conceal
his alarm at the new anarchistic move
ment, is anxious to put a stop to the
spreading of this class of literature.
Monday night a meeting was advertised
for 362 Chicago avenue. The police were
on hand, but there was no meeting.
The like nas happened before, and it is
the opinion of the inspector that the an
archists advertise meeting at certain
place in order to deceive the police and
then carry on their secret conferences
in some out of the way nook or corner.

HENSON JAILED.
He Killed the Despoiler of Ris Home
Claims Self Defense.

Paris. Tex. Oct. 6.-(Special.) Deputy
Scrivner arrived here today with Il. i.
Henson, who is charged with killing
Rube Carnett near Withheld, l. T., last
Sunday. 1t seems that Carnett had
enticed HensOn's wife away from him
and had taken her from Montague coun-
ty. Texas, to the Chickasaw Nation
where they were living in adultery. Hen
son followed, and overtaking them had
difficulty in which he shot and killed Car
nett At the time of the killing Car
nett had no gun or pistol, but Henson
claims that Carnett advanced upon him
with n knife. Henson says that he did
not follow Carnett with the intention OF
killing him but intended to have him ar
rested for adultery. He has always
borne q good reputation.
