CAPTAIN cRosBY's LECTURE.
Sects Different Opinions on Mat
ters of Theology.

A large audience was present yesterday
afternoon at the Secular Leagues regular
weekly meeting at Typographical Temple
to hear Can't F. w. Crosby's eloquent lee
ture on 1.-The origin and character of Chris
tianity" Capt. Crosby spoke in part as
follows. "By it's fruits shall ye know 1T.
The history of Christianity is written in
blood. from the crucifixion Of Christ down
through the martyr-burnings, crusades
and witch-hangings of yore to few cen
turies ago Sect has prosecuted sect in the
most fiendish manner, all for the love of
God, as they sincerely believed. Good au-
thority estimates that 100000 witches
were burned in obedience to the Bible
command: Thou shalt not suffer a witch
to live
John Calvin, founder of the Calvanis-
tic religion, was willing to see Servetus
burned at the stake for a mere difference
of opin ion about theology Giordana
Bruno was burned at the stake for declar-
ing a plurality of worlds. Thus has honest
opinion been suppressed and science re-
tarded. Even now Seventh Day Adyen-
lists are prosecuted and imprisoned for
following the Biblical injunction, Six days
shalt thou labor because they think Sun
day, the first day of the week, is one of the
work days, and therefore prefer to rest on
the seventh day-saturday-as the Bible
commands. When Christianity once be-
comes fully civilized it will bear no SEM
blance to it's former self.

Orange, N. j., stopping Il day in Chi

regret hat Madison citizens, irrespective
OF religious bias, see Mr.. Cleveland take
his departure from us, as he has been an
intellectual and religion force in our
midst in all the walks OF lite. He has
many expressions of good will following
him in his new field. Mr.. Cleveland has
been twenty-five years in the mission
and pastoral work in South Dakota.
The lot owners Of the Madison Gene
terry association held their annual meet
ing last evening in the council room,
fifteen or twenty being present. The
minutes OF the board meetings held
during the year were read by the secre-
tary, F. @. Smith, to give the lot owners
an idea Of what had been done. Then
the election Of officers took place which
resulted as follows: w. H. Dempster,
president; Mrs. d. McKinnon, vice
president; j. G. Hubbell, secretary; VIM.
Rae, treasurer. j. M. Preston was re-
elected president for three years. The
treasurer's report showed a balance IN
the treasury of about $l25.> How to
best expend this was then discussed.
Necessary improvements are the mark,

each side, the placing of iron stakes or
stone monuments at the corner Of each

SUBMARINE BOAT.
The Holland Craft Quietly Launched .
Elizabeth. n. j.

Tho Holland Craft Quietly Launched Ut
Elizabeth, n. j.
ELIZABETH, N. j., May lS.-The Hol.
land submarine torpedo boat was
launched at the Crescent ship yards in
this city. The inventor of the boat,
John P. Holland, has closely watched
the construction Of the vessel. The
VESSEL was chrisened 1.-THE Holland"
by Mrs. Nixon, wife Of Lieutenant
Lewis Nexon, the constructor. There
were few present at the launching.
Inventor Holland says there will not
be any attempt at submarine evolutions
for several weeks. The construction
Of the boat has been eagerly watched
all over the country. The boat is cyl.
indrical in shape, is 90 feet 3 inches
long, with a 4.foot screw protecting
extension. The diameter is the same.
The boat ear travel under water eight
knots an hour for eight hours and ten
knots an hour on the surface. The
power comes from a gasoline engine,
and a dynamo, the former to be used
when the boat is sailing along
the surface and the latter when she is
submerged. 1t will take less than a
minute to submerge the boat, and
about the same length Of time for her
to rise to the surface. The armament
consists of three torpedo tubes which
will discharge high explosives. Six
men will constitute the crew.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the United
States, British and Spanish govern.
ments to allow a representative OH
board during the trial trip Of the boat,
but he refused the request. After a
trial trip, he says he will allow an en-
gineer from each government to see
the workings of the boat, which, it is
believed, will revolutionize warfare.
Several foreign nations have bid for
the vessel, but it is likely Mr.. Holland
will sell her to the United States.
