This last method is largely practiced in both
ponies ana religion, and to the Roman church
we hand the bouquet-it is welcome to the
honor--for methods of criticism that psrtake
almost wholly OF tricky and wordy evasions of
exhibition OF slippery, windy, wordy. tricky
warfare as Father Yorke has presented in the
Gity papers during the past few weeks to show
IN the Catholic fashion that black is white and
white is black, because the Pope saws so.
In his reply to our lecture what total disre-
gard Tor plain simple truth and what warping
aha twisting to cover up truth! there was:
Inc doctrine OF universally and eternity of
matter admitted by, all scientists he denies,
simply because it is the death blow to ali
antropomorphic gods.
Father Yorke knows that natur al SCIENCE is
death to theology, hence he used two columns
OF HE CALL to show that matter is not uniyer-
sal ana not eternal. The best reason he could
trump up was that matter was not eternal, be-
cause when anything was burned up matter
was destroyed. Matter could not be universal
because You could cut ii up in chunks and put
chunk here and another chunk there. So
matter could not be everywhere and that you
can see matter, touch matter, taste matter,
smell matter, or feel matter.
IL not, how did Father Yorke get here and
Enats the matter with him? Any Protestant
schoolboy knows better.
And that matter can only be changed in
form and not destroyed. But this is Catholic
SCIENCE and shows what they teach in Cath Ollie
theological schools, to deny anything and
everything that will not tally with their sys-
tenn OF perverted truth. What strange picture
OF mental slavery and superstition has the
Catholic methods of culture and peryert ted
sense produced in the world
The arrogance of Catholic priests and their
crafty and cunning disregard for simple truth,
In all their methods of propaganda. show the
utter dnplicity and soulless and heartless ma
lure OF this scarlet, hoary-headed despotism
called Christiany, to show that Catholic propa-
ganda always it resorts to denials, sophistry
evasion and quibbling trash to sustain her re-
Ggion.

THE ART OF THE PUEBLOS
DR.. A. M. Warburg, a Noted
Florentine Investigator,
in the City.
His Story of the Surprises Which Met
Him in Historical Art Among
the Indians.

Among the arrivals at the Palace last
evening was DIR. A. M. Warburg of Ham,
burg and Florence. The doctor is grad
uate of Strassburg and for eight years past
has been studying and writing on histor-
ical art in Italy.
DR.. Warburg Is the author of severals
books, among them one on italian operate
Music" and another on "Poets Of Italy"
His home has been in Florence, and he
has, when not visiting, devoted nearly all
his time to the study OF historical art.
He has just arrived from Albuque rqus
and Santa Fe, where he made many
excursions to the Pueblo Indian villages
and studied Indian art, as shown IN the
various articles which they produce.
DR.. Warburg says he regards the work
of the Pueblos as very curious, and he
wonders that more scientific expeditions
are not sent out by individuals and the
Government to get all the particulars re-
gardipg the pottery and other things made
by the Indians. He thinks that in a short
time it may be too late to collect these
wonderful details.
FIFTY years will obliterate them" he
said, land they win be lost to science.
Their art is so closely connected with their
mythologicai beliefs that to abstain from
collecting the details now is to lose the es-
sence of the art.
~ have spent great deal of time in
Florence studying Italian historical art,
but l think the historical art of New Mex
leo is more interesting even than that of
Italy.
SIN few years the Indians will all be
educated in American ways and the In
dian art will be gone.
Il sh all go from here to Japan to study
Japanese art for short time, and will then
return to this City and go back to New
Mexico. l want to collect more informa-
ton, and then | may write a book on the
historical art of the Pueblos.
81 certainly do not know of q more in
teresting subject. The art of the Pueblos
is great surprise to me. 1t is shown not
only in their pottery but in all the articles
which they make, and is of high quality"
DR.. Warburg will be here for week or
thereabouts, and will then sail for Japan.

DR.. YORK AND ROME,
The Liberal Lecturer Criticizes the
Methods of the Catholic
Clergy,

DR.. J. l.. York, the liberal lecturer last
evening addressed a large audience in
Scottish Hall on Larkin street. His dis.
course was on "Romanism, and Her
Methods of Propaganda and Criticism"
At the conclusion DR.. York called atten-
ton to petition now before Congress to
recognize God, Christ and The Bible as an
integral part of our organic law. He
called attention to a protest against the
enactment of any such measure. and IN
vited his audience to sign the protest
Over 400 names were added to the docu-
ment before the lights were put out.
In the course OF his address DR.. York
said:

this is certain, that criticism may be so ugly
and mean as to be offensive and unjust and
therefore defeat its primary object of revealing

Clever Presentation OF an Operetta by
Children of the Congregation

Eighty little lads and lassies, with the

Mother Goose specially arranged by
Miss Josephine Leszynsky and Mrs. N.

little tots, who sat open-mouthed and with
staring eyes at the realistic antics of fai-

the favorite characters of the Mother
Goose melodies. Not the least interested
Spectators were the inmates of the Hebrew
orphan Asylum. for whom had been re-

most appropriate, and III all cases was pro-

Hazel Leszynsky maintained the dignity
and grace of the fairy queen with com
mendable ability. Some of the striking
features were the skirt dance by Ruby
Mendelsohn, the lazarina dance by Belle

Livingston was premier danseuse, and was
ably seconded by Ruby Mendelsohn.
Little Viola Leszynsky, girl of about
three years. was the heroine of the finale,
IN the role OF Mary, with her little lamb.
Her popularity was not at all lessened by
the bad taste of her little pet in topping

Canned Food Before the Law,

Mr.. Justice STovER OF the Supreme Court,
sitting in Brooklyn, has recently decided
an interesting question arising out OF
the sale Of can Of prepared salmon
The salmon was sold without any ex-
press warranty as to it's condition. 1t
turned out to be unwholesome and unfit
for human consumption; the purchaser
and others who ate of it were made
violently i'll; and suit was brought to re-
cover damages ~ the ground that, although
there was no express warranty, there was
an implied warranty on the part Of the
seller that the salmon was fit to eat
Tho Court determined otherwise, holding
that the doctrine OF implied warranty had
no application to such a case.
In BLhCKSTONE's Commentaries there Is a
general statement, to which Judge STovER
refers, to the effect that in contracts for
provisions it Is always implied that they
are wholesome; but 1t is probable that this
proposition is limited to tbosc cases in which
the seller has better opportunity than the
buyer to inform himself concerning tho
real condition and whoesomeness OF the
article of food sold Thus it is entirely
reasonable to say that man who sells
quarter Oh Dcel from ono OF MS own cillIt
slaughtered by himself is bound at his peril
to know that tho meat Is sound and suita-
BILE for food; but it is quito another thing to
say that the mere vendor of provisions, who
has had nothing to do with preparing them,
and who sells them in the unbroken pack
ages in which they come into his hands,
thereby engages that they shall turn out to
be wholesome when opened.
In the latter case, according to Mr.. Justice
SLOWER, the reason for assuming the ex-
istence of an implied warranty fails, mas
much as the seller has no sources of infor-
nation or knowledge which are not equally
accessible to the buyer. "In the progress
of affairs, the manner of preparing and
selling food has come to that condition that
everybody purchasing ought to be presumed
to know that the retail merchant who sells
to the consumer food sealed in cans, and
with which he has no connection other than
as conduit between packer and consumer,
has no superior means of knowing the con-
