THE LATE SCIENTIST,

A Correspondent Speaks of Professor IIux.
ley as Scientist, Writer and Skeptic.
Autobographical,i in ono sense, all Mr.
HuTlCys writings are. He would not
thank me for that remark should he ever
sec it, He Is probably unaware how true
it is. In other words, how on every page
of every one Of his books is impressed the
individuality of the writer. Whether he
IS discussing science or religion, finding
his way through the most abstract prob
lens OF metaphysics or crumpling up an
antagonist, you feel the presence of the
man Huxley. This mans place in nature
is not doubtful. Science has claimed him
for her own, and he has done for science
a kind of work of which mono other has
shown himself equally capable. But he is
born writer and born fighter. The "but' is
out of place. 1t is in part because he is
born writer and born fighter that he has
been able to offer to science some service OF
which, during the last three decades or so,
she has been in great need, yet has found
SO few to perform for her.
But skepticism, for it's own sake or as
an attitude of mind was not to the taste
of Descartes, nor is it of Mr.. Huxley. Tn
modern agnostic, borrowing from his
great predecessor of the seventeenth cen.
tury has something to add. He deduccs
from this maxim to take nothing for
truth without clear knowledge that it is
such, not merely the sanctifcation of
doubt, but some much larger conclusions.
Among them are "the recognition that
the profession of belief in propositions, OF
the truth Of which there is no sufficient
evidence, is immoral; the discrowning OF
authority as such; the population of the
confusion, beloved of sophists of all sorts,
between free assent and mere piously
gagged dissent and the admission of the
obligation to reconsider even ones axioms
on due demand. ''-Letter to New York
Tribune (September, lS9N.

He CURES THEM.
An Englishman Apparently Works Mir

An Englishman Apparently Works Mir
acles In West Chester.
Some people in the village of West Ches-
ter, now part of New York, believe that
a man who can cure rheumatism has come
among them. The man is about 70 years
old, tall, dresses in black, wears u high
hat and has dignified appearance He
says his name is William Ellis and that
he came from England on Wednesday.
He called at the house of John Hunter,
who used to own race horses in West Ches-
ter, on Thursday and learned that Michael
Alton, formerly hostler in Mr.. Hunters
employ, was suffering from rheumatism.
Then, as tho people in West Chester tell
the story, Ellis called on Alton at his
house.
He asked for cup of tga, and while
drinking it remarked to Alton that he
seemed to be suffering from rheumatism.
Alton acknowledged the fact 1t is said in
West Chester that Alton has not walked
without crutChes for IS months. Presently
Ellis asked;
"Do you believe in Jesus CHRISTI
eyes, was the reply.
"Well, then, l can euro you" said Ellis.
Then he placed both hands on Atoms
shoulders, muttered to himself and told
Alton to walk
81 can't" replied Alton.
"Try, said Ellis.
Then Alton, the story tollcrs say, walked
across the floor. Ellis told him to tell no
one and went away.
Subsequently without crutches Alton
walked with boy on his shoulders mile
and a half to the station of the New Haven
railroad.

Walter Charles, formerly road commission

Charles has had rheumatism "all over"
for three years and suffered much pain.
Ellis repeated somewhat the same for

told him to tell no one.

demanded that the young fellow be dis

be as useful to them, as this young colorod
man understood all their affairs. At the
last account the law firm was standing by
the negro, while the white labor unions
