Tile Recent Trial in Madison.

INC heCeHI lflul III N1hViSONs
To the Editor OF tho JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The council recently held in Madison
to try the pastor of the Congregational
church for heresy has called forth some
comment. There are those, perhaps,
who think the cause OF liberty has been
subserved by the result But do they
not perceive that While liberty has been
granted thereby to the minister to ut
ter what vagarieS he chooses in q Con-
gregational pulpit, the people are not
allowed to object? They are to listen
to him remembering in all humility that
they are not capable of understanding
what he says, or if they understand,
they are not capable of judging wheth-
er what he says is true or not. The Be-
reans, when they listened to preaching
searched the Scriptures whether those
things We're so, and were commended
for 1t; but the Madisonites are not adv is
ed by the council to do any such thing.
If they presume to doubt the truth of
what their pastor says they are only
told to confer with him. In the present
Gil composed chiefly of men committed
to the defense of the new Theology and
have been told by them what they must
believe. They who, rooted and ground
ed in the faith once delivered to the
saints, have felt it's preciousness more
and more are called upon to renounce
1t, and take instead mere assertions
unsupported and unsatisfying. They
have rested securely on their faith as
on rock, through storm and flood,
and found it an anchor to the SOUL sure
and steadfast; but now they are hidden
to let go their hold and commit them
selves to the wild and uncertain waves
of modern speculation. They have
walked hitherto in the bright shining
beams OF the sun: but now they are
remanded to the mist" which con-
fessedly envelops those who have turn
ed their backs on His beams, and as
they stand on the verge of eternity are
told to wait for the light" which will
come" The council DEGREES; the peo-
pie must submit Is not this the spirit
of Popery revived? If the churches act
with regard to what their pastor says,
as this council requires, what becomes
of the right of private judgment and
liberty OF conscience in which we
Protestants glory? Is not the result of
this council, instead Of being an ad-
vance toward liberty a retrograde step
towards the dark ages?

does not tend to show that he was
lnsolvent when he received the depos-
it," and, therefore, the Inference that
when he received such deposit 1t was
with fraudulent intent on his part is
not SO purely arbitrary, unreasonable,
unnatural, or extraordinary, as would
justify the courts in saying that such

that the words of the statute, whereby
the deposit so made shall be lost to the
depositor," are meaningless, because
the fact Of loss cannot be determined
until the affairs of the banker have
been settled, the court says that the de-
positor has lost his money not when
he fails to get it after years of waiting
or litigation, but the instant he de-
mands it and is refused.
AS result of this decision the
Meadowcrofts will have to spend year
in the penitentiary, and depositors in
Illinois banks will feel safer,

STORY OF 4 ST0 RK.

| How the GentlA Bird Returned to Its
Friends - Its Flights Established n
| Friendship Between Some Children in
Germany and In Far OF ~ rica.
Here is story from Germany, says u
| writer in "Our Animal Friends" which
is as quaint as it is true. Some chill
| dren living in one of the northern prov
| inces discovered that a stork had made
| it's nest upon their roof. Being ortho-
dox little Teutons, they hailed the new
conner with favor, as storks are sup
| posed to bring luck to a house. All the
| summer they shared their tidbts with
| their long legged friend, which became
very tame and companionable.
| AT the first signs of approaching cold
weather the stork prepared to fit to
warmer climes The children were sad
| at the thought of losing their pet, but
their parents consoled them with the
assurance that the bird would surely
return the next spring. The children
still uneasy at the idea of the stork not
being cared for during the long winter.
consulted together and evolved brill
Hdilt lued Which lHty tIiIliiSuidlSly pro-
| ceeded to put into execution. They
wrote a little note in their best German
scrip, stating that the stork was very
dear to them and begging the good peo-
pie in whose country 1t might spend the
winter to be kind to their pet and send
it back to them in the spring.
They sealed the note, fastened it to a
ribbon tied it round the birds neck
and tucked ii under it's wing. The next
day they sadly watched the stork wing
it's way toward milder skies. The snow
and ice came: Christmas time brought
the children gifts and fresh amuse-
ments. but their summer pet was not
forgotten. When the spring came
round again their little feet used to
climb to the roof day by day, looking
and longing for the stork's return; and
behold! one fine morning, there 1t was.
tame and gentle as ever.
Great was the children's delight; but
what was their surprise to discover
round its neck and under it's wing an
other bright band with a note attached,
addressed to 1.-THE children who wrote
the letter the stork brought The rib
bon was quickly united and the nissive
opened. 1t was from missionary IN
Africa, stating that he had read the
childrens note and had cared for the
storll. and thought that children whose
good hearts had prompted them to pro-
vide for the comfort of bird through
the winter would be willing to help
clothe and feed the little destitute chill
dren of his mission. A full name and
address followed.
The children were full of sympathy,
and the missionary's note won golden
answer from the family. Other letters
came and went by post between them
until by and by the children learned to
know the missionary and his little
black waits almost as well as they
knew the beloved stork that had proved
so trusty a messenger.

The decision of the Supreme court of
Illinois in the Meadowcroft case is very
interesting and important Frank and
Charles j. Meadowcroft were proprie-
tors Of private bank in Chicago.
Their bank went the way that many
private banks have gone, and they were
brought into court on charge of vio-
lating q law of Illinois which makes
the acceptance of g. deposit by any
banking officer. at q time when the
bank is insolvent an act of embezzle-
ment, punishable by a fine double the
amount of the deposit and by imprison-
ment for from one to five years. More
stringent even than this, the law fur
Their declares that the failure of a bank
within thirty Gays from the date of
the deposit shall be prima facie evil
dence of an intent to defraud
The Meadowcrofts We're ably defend
ed. Their counsel argued that banking
was an ordinary business pursuit, like
selling groceries; that the receiving of
deposits made the relation between
banker and depositor only the ordinary
relation of debtor and creditor, and that
the statute was invalid because it
placed restrictions around an ordinary
business pursuit The court disposed
Of this by the statement that the bust
ness oe q banker is affected with a
public interest and is therefore subject
to public regulation. The main point,
as well as the most interesting one, in
the contention was that the provision in
the law making the receipt of deposit
within thirty days of failure evidence
Of intent to defraud, without introduce
ton of evidence to show criminal in
tent, was unconstitutional because it
was in derogation of the right to pre-
sumption of innocence until guilt is
proved. To this the court answered that
no one has vested right in the rules of
evidence, that such rules are subject to
modification and control by the legisla-
ture, and that that body may provide
that designated fact shall be prima
facie evidence of certain other fact
Passing from generalization to particu-
lars. the court presumes that banker,
when receiving a deposit, knows
whether or not the bank is solvent; at
all events, at is his duty to know" and
lit is criminal negligence for him not to
know" Further, when a banker fails
in business within thirty days after
he has received a deposit, it cannot be
fairly said that the fact of such failure

TINE PANS ron Yun pEOplu,


After few weeks of industrious
shifting at the idea that there is any
popular demand III New Haven for
cheap, speedy and easy transportation
to the tops of the rock parks the Reg
lister has finally discovered that 1.-THE
proposition to open up our grand ele-
waited parks to the electric roads is re-
ceived with enthusiasm by many" This
is entirely true. although the reasons
given for it by the Register are not the
real ones. AS the Register has at last
discovered that there is at least some
popular demand" in the matter it may
in the course of time discover that that
popular demand" is not made In the
way it so graclously and generously
says it is. The truth is that there is
considerable popular demand for the
good work, and that the people know
what is good for them quite as we'll as
the Park commissioners do.

they are going to have more. 1t is in
teresting to notice that there is some
popular demand in that city also that
the parks shall be for the people. The
Hartford Times thus sets forth the sit
uation: The appointment OF a superin-
tendent of parks is one of the signs
that progress is really making in the
development of the park system of
Hartford. If these parks are recognize
ed as the property of the people, and an
effort is made to render their use at
tractive, they win serve an admirable
purpose The one thing that can rem
der them comparatively useless is to
treat them as something like the old
fashioned New England parlor, in
which the best possessions of the fam
lily used to be assembled but which
was too fine for daily use. Something
Of this spirit has been shown in old
times as to Bushnell park, but 1t is
promised that liberal policy shall pre-
vail in the future. The tendency in the
other direction is natural enough and
has It's root in an honest desire to pre-
serve what has cost money and labor,
but it forgets that park is really the
peoples playground, and that a play
ground cannot always be model of
neatness without failing in some of its
real purpose
This is sensible for Hartford or New
Haven. We can afford to mar the
face of Nature" q little and even to run
the horrible risk of picnics on the rock
parks if the people can by such mawing
and such risk get more fresh air and
more needed change from city life Our
rock parks should not be treated as
something like the old New England
parlor.

The pretty hat worn with this is
characteristic of the spring styles in

with brown silk tulle. AT one side
there is a large bow with numerous

are a few flowers and rosette of the

Flowers and tulle are the chief elabo-
rations for big hats, and the tulle is
used in clouding the flowers. For this

Italy has been defeated in Abyssinia
by men of her own race, If Professor
Sergi is right. He believes from an
thropo1ogical evidence that the bulk of
the population of Spain, Italy and
Greece is Hametic, like the ancient
Egyptians, who came from the land of
Punt, which Sergi places in Ethiopia,
Somaliland, and South Arabia. The
Hamites first entered Egypt, then
spread east to Syria and Asia Minor
and west as far as the Canaries, the
Iberians, Lycurians, Pelasgians and
Etruscans being branches of the main
stem. They overran South Russia,
Switzerland, France and Great Britain
In the later stone age they were exter-
minated in the valley of Pc ard in
Switzerland, and were driven south of
the Loire in France and to the south
and west in Britain by the Celts. Pro-
fessor Sergf asserts that this Mediter-
ranean race is the most beautiful Of all
the varieties of man.

colors has been solved. Professor Sele

a number of photographs in co1ors,
which, in addition to being of high art
istic merit, are claimed to have the ad-
vantage of being permanent in their
character. In 1891 Lippmann produced
photographs OF objects in their natural
co1ors His results were regarded as
satisfactory enough, but the stumbling
block in these researches was again a
lack of perrnanency, such as had faced

A burying ground belonging to the
late stone age has recently been dis
covered near Worms. Up to the pres
ent about seventy graves have been
examined, but not the slightest trace
of metal has been found. Arm rings of
blue and gray slate were buried with
the bodies. In hardly single case was
there missing from the women's graves
the primitive corn-nill, consisting of
two stones, the grinding stone and the
grain crusher. The mems graves con-
tanned weapons and implements, all of
stone, with whet-stones and homes for
sharpening purposes. They consist of
perforated hammers, sharpened hatch
cts, axes and chisels, as well as knives
and scrapers of flint.
