NEVER TOO OLD no LEARN.
An Old Soldier Says He was Robbed
in a Billiard Hall.

An old soldier at least 60 years Of
age appeared before City Attorney Bird
and complained that he had been rob
bed in George Payne's billiard hall
and place on Kansas avenue near
First street
He did not give his name but said ne
had strayed in there and had been
playing pool with Payne. Payne won
and he gave him q, $40 gold piece to pay
the bill with. Payne, he says, gave him
back two niskels change and would
give him no more.
He was a little mixed in his facts
and Mr.. Bird did not feel safe in is
suing the warrant
And besides" he said, "a man as
old as you are that hasn't any more
sense than to go into a colored place
to loaf around and spend his money
ought to be robbed and then kicked
OUT
The old man admitted that he had
made a mistake.
Il don't care so much about the
money" he said. but hate to see
such carvings on in a peaceful com
munity."

man is enthused with the silver pros
poets this year. Al am more confident
than ever he said to a reporter, that
the silver Democrats viii be in charge
at Chicago. Everywhere I have been
I found that free silver is the battle
cry. At the meetings which addressed
I took hand primaries, and they
showed that the masses of the people
want silver"
Senator Tillman's hand primary is
original with him and was introduced
in his first campaign for governor in
South Carolina. The plan is to call
upon all in the audience who favor a
certain thing to hold up their right
hands. Then he calls upon those ops
posed to do the same thing. This he
calls a hand primary. In South Caro-
lima the candidates stump the state to-
gether. When Senator Tillman was
running for governor six years ago ne
and his opponent, Judge Earle, would
make claims as to carrying q certain
county. When the campaign meeting
was held in that county TilIman would
call upon all who intended to vote for
him to raise their right hands. His
supporters would raise their hands
with a shout. Then he would call upon
his opponents to raise their right
hands.

SANTA FE COAL PROPERTIES.
@. III. Higginson, Appointed by Presi-
dent Ripley, Finishes His tx
animation

G. M. HigginsOn. assistant to Presi-
dent Ripley, and c. j. DeVlin, manager
of coal properties of the Santa Fe re
turned yesterday afternoon from New
Mexico, where they have been inspect
ing the mining interests of the com
pany- The inspection of the entire prop
erty was made in less than a week and
this, Mr. Higginson states, was due to
the efficient efforts of the company en-
ployes.
The newly appointed official expresses
himself as highly pleased with all he
saw on his first trip over the Santa Fe
line He is an expert geOlOgist. and the
inspection of the mining property was
made for the purpose of reporting to
Mr.. Ripley its exact condition. This ge-
illogical knowledge it is his intention
to make use of in determining the
quality Of coal, which, economically
considered, VIII be the most profitable
to mine.
More especially Mr.. Higginson ex-
presses himself as we'll pleased with the
ofhclais and employees Of the fuel de-
partment with whom he came in con-
tact He realizes that it is natural to
expect changes to follow the appoint
Iment OF a new man in charge Of any
branch OF railroad work, but wishes it
understood that he has no changes to
make, and is not a believer in the bene-
hts or such movements.
MT H1gg1nsOn will remain in this
city to complete his report on the mines
ana VIII probably not leave for Chicago
before thursday afternoon.

Succeed.

New York. April 2S.-CoL Ingerson
was seen at his home, after his return
from a three-weeks' lecture tour He
was asked whether he. as an agnOstic,
approves of the aims and objects Of the
church Militant, at whose invitation
he recently Iectured in Chicago He
replied: ''I think the objects Of that
church are good. The members are
trying to make this world better To
the extent that they rely upon their
own effort they are right; to the ex-
tent that they rely upon prayer, they
will fail"
When the conversation passed from
things celestial to things political, Col.
Ingersou had this to say;

. 1t is a long step from JONATHAN Ed
WARDS and GEORGE WHITEFIEID ID OF the
middle eighteenth century to CHAHNING
and PARKER and EMERSON, who did so
much to establish the Unitariapism. that
the Register represents. But the former
represented the aggressive liberal thought
OF their time just as the latter shaped that
thought into something concrete about
which great and eagerly developing de-
nomination could stand.

tions in the Christian church. Yet It's
influence has been tremendous In proper
tion to Its numerical strength both on
the Development of a great people and
upon other church bodies also, be 1t
said. In nearly every line of national
development, Unitarians are found con-
spicuous in leadership. The Register

The issue OF the Christian Register that
celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary
OF its founding, is made especially in
teresting by reason OF its survey OF the
ield OF Unitarianism OF which it is the
leading representative paper.
As the Register points out. hat 1t stood
for under the same name when It's first
number was published in 1921, it stands
for today. But DIR. EVERETT discloses
that some changes have taken place in
the position OF Unitarianism and so OF
the Register, in ,hree-quarters of a CEN
tury, and as to this, another contributor
shows that no inconsiderable changes in
the view OF the Bible itself in this period
are to be noted. II is only so short a
time, so short by comparison with the
life OF Christianity, that this unorihodox
periodica stated with fiat-footed editorial
complacency that "tbe food took place
in the year Of the world 1856, five years
after the death OF Lsmech, the father OF
Noah," a statement which II The Register
quoted 1t today from some OF its con-
temporaries, would quite likely move it
to inquire CHOW do you know?'
Seventy i've years cut good deal OF
figure in the history OF Unitarianism in
this country and indeed in the history
OF nearly all denominations. One contri-
butor points out that New England or
thodoxy has developed within that time
far more marked charges than has Uni
tar rIanism.
When did Unitniranism begin? There
were the seeds OF IL in the popular liberal
sympathy with poor prosecuted ANNE

colonial days when church and state
were yoked TO crush liberal thought and
