SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY.
DIR. York Lectures Before a Large Aud.
ience at Scottish Hall.

icnCS 8t SCOIL19n Hall.
DR.. J. L. York, the liberal lecturer, en-
terrained large audience last night in
Scottish Hall on science. theology and
religion with prelude on "Rome's Hand
in Sending to Prison the Editor of the A.
p. A. Magazine"
Science, he declared, is derived from the
word scio and means reading from the
great book of nature the right relation OF
things; and that, according to Draper
and others, is nothing more or less than
organized. arranged and definite knowl.
edge of the world. The advantage of sci.
entific truth, he said. is that what is true
in science is true everywhere and is true
always.
Theology is the inverse of science. as
the latter depends on demonstration and
the former on faith. the one assuming
nothing and proving everything, the other
assuming everything. but not proving any,
thing. Science he termed the mother oi
true civilization and said that any one
with half an eye can see that science and
theology are not one and the same thing.
Those who seek truth are the real students
of divinity and high priests of men, and
no religion is the foster-mother of science.
civilization and liberty. In conclusion he
said that "true religion is simply honesty,
sincerity, benevolence and love to our fel-
low-men. Theology is not what men
know, but what men believe about God
and salvation"

was proposed to bind every participant
absolutely it might convert a minority
into a majority. He believed the con-
vention was amply able to settle the
thing for itself when the time came.
Governor Hogg replied that man
was bound to support every act OF a eau
Gus as long as he was participant. The
obligation did not contemplate the break
ing of instructions or of the unit rule.
A man simply pledged himself to use his
persuasive influence TO accomplish the
measures decided on.
Hodges was still not satisfied and gave
notice that he would support only those
things that pleased him. Several dele
gates vociferously invited the statesman
from Lamar to take walk and to go
and soak his head. One delegate III
formed Mr.. Hodges that it had not re-
qured the use of four mule team and
log chain to compel his attendance on
the caucus.
Mr.. Jackson of Lamar said instructions
from caucuses should be of very little
force.
w. w. Gatewood of Laredo made hot
speech for the administration program
of eight delegates.
: Then the caucus, by large majority,
accepted Governor Hogs plan and to-
day will recommend the sending of eight
delegates to Chicago.
Jake Hodges announced that he pro-
poses to have a say Cd the floor when
the recommendation comes up.
The caucus then adjourned.

A PROGRESSIVE AGE, THIS.
Funeral Services Held Over Il Living
Subject in Ohio.

-
Cincinnati, O., June 21.-The En-
ouirer special from Portsmouth, Ohio,
says:
The funeral of living man, plain old
Lorenzo Dow Mckinley, at which he
was present, was preached at Fallen
Timbers, twenty miles from here today
to an assembly of 5000 people. 1t was
in one of the grandest of Gods first
temples, primeval forests of oaks, camp
meeting style.
Rev. Forest Evans conducted the cere-
monies. Just behind him sat the living
man, Lorenzo Dow Mckinley. lncon-
gruities in the shape of hokey-pokey,
ginger bread, lemonade, with all the ct
ceteras were vociferously, not to say
discordantly present. A committee of
eight venerable men, in lieu of pail
bearers. conducted the subject to the
platform. They had known him from
youth After prayer by Rev. Evans the
forest rang out with the song: "The
Sweet Bye and Bye" after which came
the sermon. The text was The Time
of My Departure is Now at Hand"
At the conclusion of the hymn, Are
You Washed in the Blood of the Lamb
was sung and then, by invitation, the
congregation filed by, taking leave of the
departed, tearfully shaking him by the
hand.

I'VE, the Democrats of Wisconsin, III
state convention assembled, endorse the
wise and patriotic administration OF
President Cleveland. We commend the
course in congress of our able senators,
William f. Villas and John i. Mitchell,
in their faithful adherence to the prin-
ciples of the Democrats Of Wisconsin.
1--WE believe that tariff for revenue only
would extend American commerce to the
uttermost parts of the earth and that
untrammeled industry would advance
our country to the foremost place among
nations. We are, therefore, firm in our
adherence to the doctrine enunciated by
the last national Democratic convention
that this government should impose 10
tariff except for revenue.
1--WE believe that the demands of a
commerce built upon the broad and en-
lightcned doctrine of free trade require
a currency that can not be discredited in
any civilized country.
Realizing this logical demand for the
best money for international trade;
realizing also the dangers of Il fiat cur
rency in domestic use, and aware of the
present condition, we declare ourselves
opposed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and in favor of gold, the highest
monetary standard of the world.

New British Cruisers.

The Diana, recently launched
at Glasgow, is one of four cruisers
of 5000 tons, or about as big as
our Olympia, building on the
Clyde. The others are the Venus,
Dido and Isis. There are two more
of the same class, the Juno and
Doris, building at Barrow; still
another, the Eclipse, at Ports
mouth, an eighth, the Minerva, at
Chatham, and ninth, the Talbot,
at Davenport. The last three are
at Government yards, which are
thus vying with private establish
ments in hurrying forward the
additions to the fleet.
Still larger and newer cruisers
are the Diamond, Europa, Niobe
and Andromeda, building at
Clydebank, at Barrow-in- Furness,
and at Pembroke. They are to
be longer and broader than our
Columbia and Minneapolis, and
to be far more heavily armed, the
main battery being fifteen quick
firing six-inch guns, and they are
to have 10000 horsepower under
A.. forced draft. These in turn are
to be outdone in size by the cruis-
ers Powerful and Terrible, now
building, of 1920 tons and U.s.
600 horsepower, so that the new
Fox and Flora, of 1850 tons and
5000 horsepower, about like our
Philadelphia, look small by
contrast.
England is plainly not neglec-
ting her cruiser type merely be-
cause she is building ten big
battle-ships and scores of fast
torpedo craft.-New York Sun.
