That was a strange spectacle which
was presented in Chicago on a recent
Sunday, when Robert @. Ingersoll, whe
for more than a score Of years has con-
sccrated the flower Of his SURPRISING
eloouence to ridicule, satirization and
denunciation Of preachers and churches
nnd the Bible, spoke from a Christian
pulpit, at the invitation Of a preacher
and of n church, to 5000 followers OF
the Christian banner. For once the
animosities engendered by bitter words
were laid aside. The great audience
bowed its head in silent sympathy
With an orthodox Christian invocation
to God and petition for the blessing OF
Christ; then listened for two hours to
the eloquent denier of all that is called
supernatural or divine, Of all that is
unknowable, except by faith, In re-
iigion. And Ingersoll was as magnanl'

utter a word to wound the sensibilities
of his hearers. Orator and auditors

ering what can be done and should be
done to uplift humanity. That was his
theme; on that he dwelt. There was no
soothing at religion, no jeering at sim
pie faith, and when the logic OF the
speakers thought reused an echo In
the hearts of his hearers, they gave
him generous need Of applause. These
burst of approval were anything but
infrequent. The audience of Chris

New York. '.Mrs. Fatima," the mother.
weighs 4,465 pounds, and cherishes her
baby as much as a human mother does.
Fatima H., Judging from the noise that
she makes, is composed of nothing but
lungs. During the first day the babe
kept up a howl that would have drown
ed out the oar of Niagara Falls. The
first thing baby did was to get out of
the water. 1t looked like a newborn
calf, and 1t walked like a seal.
While baby was wabbling around,
Grandma Murphy-who has been with
Fatima all through,her Illness, and had
been forcibly elected by the aid of
three battering rams, peeped through
a crack from the adjoining cage, and,
thinking her grandchild was getting
gay, sho roared high disapproyal.
But Fatima the second wasn't feazed.
She was having lots Of fun finding out
what her legs were made for. From
the way she used them she probably
thought they were wings.
