of the Venezuelans not being willing to

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-12-19

Rev. Carl F. Henry. of Cleveland,
in an article discussing the question
why the Unitarians have not had a large
church growth, remarks as possibly one
solution of the matter: Ard then, too,
it seems that loyalty to some great per-
sonality has something to do with vital
ity and warmth in religion. We can
hardly love concept or an ethical
principle. We love life, that which is
able to reciprocate our affections
Gautama tried to establish a religion
without God and his followers made a
god OF Gautama; Confucius said there
are no divinities but the spirits of de.
parted ancestors, and the Chinese made
images of wood and ivory and stone and
worshiped them; Mahomet said there is
one God. and l, Mahomet, am his proph-
ct, and his disciples went almost insane
in their intense devotion to the person
ali y in their faith. And | think there
was SO much sympathy and so much
grandeur in the divinely human life of
Jesus that our religion will suffer if we
neglect to hold it much before our
thought and heart. | believe that
Jesus not only had mission to perform,
but that he also had a commission
among men, and that his credentials
we're executed by the Most High.

Mr.. FoRDs cable dispatch in the New
York Tribune says: There are so many
signs OF improvement in the relations of
Great Britain, Russia and France that
sanguine Unionists are inclined to be-
lieve that Lord Salisbury has told the
Cabinet Council that the Eastern ques-
ton has been settled This report is
probably based on the evidence of things
unseen. When the corrupt officials sur
rounding the Sultan are removed, and
the administration is conducted by
European representatives of the Powers,
it will be possible to believe that re.
forms of far reaching nature have been
introduced, and that the lives and prop
erty OF Christians are safe in the Otto.
man Empire. Whatever arrangement
has been made with the Dual Alliance,
England must have paid we'll for it; for
Russia is now admitted to have secured
by treaty great extension of influence
in the Far East, with railway running
into China and port open all the year
round as the terminus of the Siberian
system.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
The Public Housekeeping Interestingly Dis

The Public Housekeeping Interestingly Dis
cu5sed
The Friday Morning club had for its SUBJ
isct yesterday, ''The Public Housekeep-
ing. Mrs. Lillian Duncanson, president
Municipal Order League of Chicago, told
how it was done in that city. Mrs. Dun
canson's paper was exceedingly interest
ing, and she showed how the Order League
had formed two years ago and the very
excellent work they had accomplished.
BY their untiring efforts public baths
have been established, and that cleanliness
is next to godliDess has been fully demon
strated, as in the localities where these
have been erected crime has decreased in
an amazing ratio.
The speaker told of how the nauseous
habit of men eXpectorating in street cars
had been stopped, and the league was
making an effort to have the streets
cleansed from the same obnoxious nui-
sance. The garbage system at one time in
Chicago had been handled in a most satis-
factory manner. 1t was carried away in
portable crematories that were invented by
the late Carter Harrison, but since his
death these had been done away with, and
the contract system put into use. A
woman, Miss Jane Addams, holds the
position of health inspector in Chicago.
DR.. Louise Harvey said in her rsmarks
that women we're the guardians of hearths
and homes, let men make the laws and pay
the bills, but let the women do the super.
vising in this matter. The salient points
of the paper in regard to the Public House,
keeping in Philadelphia was the tagging
of houses for contagious diseases, which
had been shamefulv neglected; the OBJ
tanning of purer water and a more rigorous
law TO prohibit the overcrowding of tene-
ment houses
This is all being improved by the efforts
of the Woman's Health Protective associa.
ton of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Donald Macneil said instead of
paper on The Public Housekeeping in Los
Angeles. her article might better be termed
an essay on filth. From her observation
it would be harder to find clean spot on
the thoroughfares of our city than the
difficult quest of Diogenes in his search for
an honest man. .--. .,
AS starting point the speaker took her
listeners from the top floor of the city hall
down, and cited the urcleau!y condition of
the surroundings. There were constant
complaints going in from the health officer,
but he h ad to or did rest content with the
present state of affairs. The inadequate
system of street sweeping, ard the filthy
condition of the streets were touched upon.
The garbage question was also brought
out in a glaring maj ner. In consideration
that $lO46.67 is paid out per month
for the city to be kept in a cleanly condi-
ton, the speaker thought better service
should be rendered the public.

rloat gomery
Judge Widney sends the following matter
for publications:
EDITOR HERALD:-In reply to the article
by Mr.. j. b. Montgomery i'll The HERALD
Of the 9th inst. relating to Fernando lands,
would reply that, after careful analysis
of it. find:
That it consists OF most voluminous
aggregation of vituperative adiectives
applied to certain persons, laws and courts
Of the United States
As he cites no decisions of the supreme
court or laws of congress making the
vituperative adjectives applicable to the
present case, it will not bo necessary to
consider them further as pertinent to the
land issues.
AS to his poor opinion of tho United
States courts and laws as applicable to
these cases, as he has cited no legal au-
thorities, will cite only two cases which
seem in point. The first is from that able
English jurist called Shakespeare, wherein
rendering u decision relating to those who
had such a poor opinion OF the law and
courts as Mr.. Montgomery expresses,
he says:
s'Ne'er felt thief the halter draw
With good opinion of the law"
Or, if he prefers dose Of Christianity,
refer him, since he has such a terror of the
laws. and officers relating to Mexican
grants, to the decision of that eminent
apostle and saint, who undoubtedly had in
his prophetic eye vision of this case when
he said, "The law is terror to evil-doers,"
or words to that effect.
In conclusion 1 would say that Mr..
Montgomerys figures of speech remind
me very much of Mrs Jarley's wax ''fig-
gers" that come around periodically, Civ
ing timid people the horrors.
Does he not admit in his article, with ap-
proval, that certain parties are and have
been banded together in an eX parte at
tempt, without notice to the present own
ers, to divest them of titls? Is not this just
what he processes to SO loudly condemn in
Rcgerio's case?

MRS. EVANS WATCH
A Case in Which Detective Goodman Figured.
Peculiar Gaze

A Case in Which Detective Goodman Flrur
A Peculiar Care
Mrs. Martha Evans. residing at No. S26
South Main street, called at the police sta
ton yesterday to see Detective Goodman.
Mrs. Evans said that in March last q
couple of small boys stole watch from
her boy, which fact was reported to the
police. Detective Goodman found the
watchcase and the chain in a pawnshop
and the property was returned to her. The
parents of the boys, she says, promised to
reimburse her for the watch, paying her
$50 for it, on condition that she would not
prosecute the case. This money she said
that ellie had never received, and it was for
the purpose of getting it that she called at
the station: Mrs. Evans further stated
that she had seen Detective Goodman sew
eral times, but that he had put her off, say
ing that he did not have time to talk to
her.
Detective Goodman was asked about the
case by HERALD reporter last evening.
At first he could not remember the case,
put on having his memory refreshed he
said that he did recover the watch case and
chain as stated, which had been returned
to the owner. He had promised her an
other watch, and produced silver watch
from his desk which he said he had in
tended to give her. As the watch was out
of repair, he had told Mrs. Evans to leave
it with him and when he had leisure he
would put it in order for her, as he Was a
matchmaker. He had not had time since,
and consequently the watch had never
been put in order. Detective Goodman de-
MED positively that he was a party to any
$50 transaction, and said that he knew
nothing about any such agreement. The
detective further produced statement
from Mrs. Evans eXonerating him from all
responsibility in the matter. The state
ment was procnred after the matter had
been called to Mr.. Goodrnan's attention in
the afternoon

These must be mixed together just before

whole suriace of good paper, which is
then allowed to dry and afterwards
made sensitive by brushing over it a solu-
ton of nitrate of silver, sixty grains TO one
ounce of water. Papers so prepared may
be used for production of pictures in the
camera or printing frame; they require,
however, to be Intensified by development

addition of acetic acid to the solution. The
sensbility of the papers for camera work
may bs much increased by brushing over
them a weak solution of proto-chloride of
