The suggestion that the Government

has excited opposition in army circles.
1t is assumed that Congress following
precedents long established would not
permit such occupation of the island with

to get favorble expression from General
Forsyth, commanding the Department of

An Exposition OF the Pedigrees Of

DR.. J. L. York, the liberal orator, enter
tanned large audience at Scottish Hall
last evening on the subject of 1.-THE Evo-
luton of Modern Freethought and Free
thinkers" upon which he spoke substan-
TALLY as follows:
AS liberals, "whence did we come? And
whiher are we tending as force in the world
origin and relations in this world as physical
beings it is quite as important to know where
we came from, where we are tending. and
our relations as mental and moral beings.
The evolution of free thought and mental
liberty in the world is simply the growth and
unfoldment of the human intellect in the light
of ex perience. reason and natu raj science.
All nature is made of one stuff and governed
by the same law of inherent conditions, and
the human mind, like all things else. grows by
what it feeds upon. If it feed upon mystery,
full of superstition; but if it be nourishcd by
the sunshine of fact, history and natural
science, it will unfold on higher plane of
truth, true spirituality and moral life.
The modern era of liberalism was opened up
in 1900 by the new astronomy of Copernicus
Galileo and Kepler; the new philosophy OF
literature OF Luther, Montigne and Shakes
peare.
These were the fathers of modern freethought
and the freethinkers of to-day are the children
of this illustrious parentage
We trace the rise OF modern treethought to
Lord Herbert, one OF the most accomplished
men of England, who wrote book entitled
"The TRUTH" in or about 1900. The book was
soon condemned, and only a few copies of 1t
have survived the religious prejudice of the
times. 1t was in England alone, and to her
glory be it said, that the light of the new truth
could be KEEP. burning at all. And in that
land OF the common law, jury trial, changing
faiths, and rising printing press, the line OF
the martyrs and confess0rs of modern free
thought began, and from that central line of
thinkers and reformers has radiated, as from

worthy successor of Lord Herbert, the author
of the little work men toned as Inc starung

But as we have said, the religion OF our

sliding away from religious faith, dogmas and
technical theology and have opened the ques-
ton OF creeds and priestly rule, showing the
decadence of religion in the exact ratio as the
spread of education and growth of natural sci
ence in the world.
Religious faith and dogma are no longer the
mighty moral force they once were in both
Europe and America. The spread of education
and knowledge among the people has paral-
yzed religion as a controlling moral force.
Thus the shackles of creed are breaking and
new faith will inspire mankind with the
simple and practical religion o. Honesty, Be-

KNOWN TO ALL TRhMPS
A Man Whose Charitable
Impulses Ruined
Him.
The Old Cigar.Dealer Who Never
Turned Beggar Away
Empty.Handed.

Instances of charity running the donor
are not common in these end the-cen-
tury days. Yet such an instance is the
sequel of years of persistent and mistaken
almsgiving by man whose name is better
known to the itinerant population of this
country than is that of Coils P. Hunting
ton or even Governor Budd.
F. W. Bu1torff was the proprietor of a
cigar-stand at 423 Sansome street for
twenty-four years. In its palmy days, it is
said, the daily receipts OF the little place
were away up in the three figures, and
even, street traditions say, came to the
fourth figure once or twice. But a sad day
came for the old man. That was when
the tramps put him in their blue book.
He had kind heart and he was credu-
lous. Therefore he was an easy prey. AS
the visits of the tramps became m ore fire.
euent the simple old cigar-dealer thought
the fact an indication of the growing g
stringency of the times. He>waxed more
liberal than before, and the visits multi
piled in the same ratio. He did not pre-
tend to understand this. except that he
began TO believe that poverty had inaug-
urated reign of terror. As his custom
began to fall off he ascribed 1t to this reign
of terror. When his still faithful custom
ers demonstrated against his permitting
tramps to lounge about the place he would
answer in his queer slow fashion: "Don't
say that. T hat is not right" When some
one told him he had seen a tramp leave
his place, go rround the corner, change his
coat and hat and go back for a further
levy, he expressed indigna ton toward the
informant, but not toward the tramp.
No tramp ever went away empty
b anded. The old man came to be known
to the vagrant fraternity from California
to Maine, and when those mem bers of it
who had strayed 10 the Atlantic slope
wandered back they were sure to pay
Buxtorff visit-yes. many of them.
The stout figure, the round, good
natured old face. the little wisp of white
hair that stood up straight in the middle
OF shining pate, were all familiar to the
fraternity. They owed many drink to
the liberalty OF the owner.
1t was great blow when they found q
new face at the stand-a face that did not
greet them benignantly, as the rubicund
old one had done. The news soon went
the rounds that the old man had failed
He had given his last nickel, and the
Sheriff had closed him out.
The new man had an empty sleeve and
wore Grand Army button. When the
members of the fraternity put in an ap-
pearance he acted with more worldly wis
dom and it was surprising how soon the
visits were discontinued. Now the tramps
who pass look askance at the place.
The lone old man went YEARLY back to
his lodging at 348 Third street that night
in January when he was surprised by the
summary proceedings of the law. His
courage was gone. He was poorer than
his troop Of beneticiaries.
But friends came forward. Consul Borel,
who had been his landlord, provided the
money to send his countryman back to the
wales of Switzerland. He left few days
ago, his destination the home of wealthy
sister at Basle.

The FRENCH HOSPITAL,
Annual Meeting to Discuss Pro.
posed Amendments to the
Bylaws.
Out of the Sixteen Submitted All Were
Voted Down With the Excep.
tion of Two.

The annual meeting of the French Be-
nevolent Society was held in Union-square
Hall, Post street, yesterday afternoon to
discuss the amendments to the bylaws
submitted at the preparatory meeting held
two weeks ago.
The hall was crowded, and great interest
war manifested in the proceedings. Syl-
vain WE'LL, president, occupied the chair
and called the meeting to order.
There were sixteen proposed amend
ments to the bylaws and all were voted
down, with the exception of two. Among
the fourteen rejected was the amendment
to amalgamate the offices of resident physi-
clan and superintendent at the French
Hospital, which was not even discussed.
The first amendment to the bylaws
adopted was in regard to the board of direc-
tors. The board at present consists OF fif-
teen, elected annually. The amendment
adopted was to the effect that at the COM
ing election in two weeks fifteen should be
elected, but next year and every year
thereafter ten OF the number shall only re-
tire, leaving five of the old board in office,
and only ten new directors to be elected.
This was considered an important change,
as the five left in office would be conversant
with the business done the previous year.
The other amendment adopted related
to doctors eligible for election. According
to the bylaws doctors allowed to hold
office were only those who had already
served the society and those who had
graduated from some medical college re-
qoiring not less than four years course
of study. Having found that this restric-
tion was an injustice to number of prac-
titioners, who, previous to 1892. had gradu-
ated from colleges requiring only three
years course OF study, but which since
then had increased the course TO four
years, the amendment now permits them
to run for office

Sunday, April 5, and nominations will be

to be excellent. The dynamos have been

Speaking of the sacredness of the home
and the social value of harmonious family
life he declared that divorces and the
proneness of many to resort to them occa-
stoned the breaking up of the home and
the shivering asunder of the family, and

There is an artificial standard of society,
he remarked, up to which young men
think they must live. and in attempting to
do SO they let some of the best years of
their life slip by. 1t is a pity, he con-
tlnued, that when a man does decide to
wed after leading gay life the bride comes
in for the last leavings of the bridegroom's
heart, and becomes mere convenience of
housekeeping.
