HUNTING CLUBS UNITE.
A Plan to Get All the st. Louis Sport
men Together.

St. Louis, Feb. There is a plan on
foot which is credited to Marshall F.
Mcdonald for consolidating all the fish
ing and hunting clubs in ST Louis some
what after the fashion of the Associated
Cycling clubs.
The idea has grown out of the concerted
move recently made to have better game
laws passed and consequent meeting of
representatives of the different clubs
whose members are mostly st. Louis
ans.
St, Louis has a great many large and
wealthy hunting clubs, whose members
do not get a chance to meet on any COM
mon ground. There is no place where
members of one club can go to meet
members of another club without first
making special engagements therefor.
Under the new idea the committee APP
pointed to urge the passage of the new
game law bill is to be made permanent
and augmented by the addition of repre-
sentatiVes from all other clubs in the
city not already represented. This COM
mlttee Will then be empowered to formu-
late plan for a sort of association of
hunting and fishing clubs, which will have
for its main object the protection of game
and regulation of hunting and for its
secondary object the closer association of
the individual members of the several
clubs who do not now have any general
meeting place.

MIR. GAGE SPIRITUALIST.
Followed Spirit Advice, it is Said, Be-
fore Accepting a Portfolio.

New York, Feb. IA queer story is told
here to the effect that Lyman ]. Gage of
Chicago, who has accepted the post of
secretary of the treasury in the McKin-
ley cabinet, is a Spiritualist. It is as
serted that the Chicago banker is a firm
believer in occultism and that at one
time he Investigated with keen interest
the teachings if Nine. Blavatsky
Whether or not. however, he embraced
theosophy is not known.
Lyman J. Gage is self-made man, so
to speak. and he has seen much of the
world las boy he earned $1GO a year as
a clerk in the Oneida Central Bank of
Rome, N. Y. Later when he went to
Chicago, he served night watchman
for want of better employment, until he
secured a position as bookkeeper in a
bank in that city.
1t was about this time, as the story
goes, that Mr.. Gage became interested in
Spiritualism, and ever since, it is report
ed, he has been a frequent attendant up
on seances and similar gatherings, where
communication with the departed formed
the chief feature of the entertainment.
Furthermore, it is alleged, that Mr.
Gage himself consulted a medium before
he consented to accept the treasury port
folio. and, being assured by a friendly
spook that it was all right, he proceeded
to Canton and announced that he would
enter the cabinet and do his best to keep
the treasury reserve above the $10O, 900, coo
mark.

A MAN HUNT.
Officers Are Still Looking for the
Southern Pacific Train Robbers.

Portland, Ore. Feb. 1.-Sheriff Cath
cart of Douglas, who has been in the
mountains ever since Friday morning
with three well organized passes ex-
ploring the trails of the robbers who
held up the Southern acific train Thurs
day night sent a messenger with in
structionS to secure a number of blood
hounds as quickly as possible as he has
secured a number of valuable clews to-
gether with several garments that lead
him to think that he is on the right
trail.
The wilds of an African jungle could
not be worse in which to pursue man
hunt than the wild region in which the
robbers are hiding The country is
SparSely inhabited and the few ranch
ers are not only cowed into submission
by the men suspected of committing
this robbery, but are forced to afford
them every possible protection in order
to save their property as well as their
lives.
All the officers concede that this gang
of robbers is made up of the most des-
perate men that ever handled reVoI-
yer and with that knowledge firmly FIX
ed in their minds the officers are taking
no chances so that if the robbers roost
is reached bloody battle may be look
ed for in which no quarter will be given
on either side The officers all have in
structionS 10 shoot to kill ION sight
and as every man has been chosen for
his known nerve, the result must neceS-
Sarily be interesting.

.HOW TO REFORM MANKIND
Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll Gave His
Ideas on the Subject in Boston.

Boston, Feb. 1-Colonel Robert @.
IngersoH delivered a lecture on How
to Reform Mankind last evening, in
the same theater where Sam Jones
spoke in the afternoon.
The seating and standing room ca
pacity of the building was inadequate
to accommodate all who wished to hear
him.
Mr.. Ingersoll read his address, for the
most part, but what he desired to en-
phasize some particular point, he would
give way to his wonderful imagery with
body, mind and soul
He spoke for nearly two hours. He
spoke in part as follows:
There is no darkness but ignorance.
Every human being is a necessary
product, and every one is born with de-
fects for which he cannot be held res
ponsible. Nature seems to care nothing
for the individual, nothing for the spec
les.
1.-The present is the child, and the nee
essary child, of all the past. and the
mother of all the future. Every human
being longs to be happy, to satisfy the
wants of the body with food, with roof
and raiment, and to feed the hunger of
the mind, according to the capacity,
with, love, wisdom, philosophy, art and
song.
Every brain is a field where nature
sows the seeds of thought, and the crop
depends upon the soil Yet, for many
ages, man in all directions has relied
upon, and sincerely believed in, the eX-
istence of the supernatural. He did not
believe in the uniformity of nature; he
had no conception of cause and effect,
of the indestructibility of force.
Facts are our only masters. If there
be God we must bow to a fact. Re
ligion does not consist in believing
without evidence or against evidence.
It does not consist in worshipping the
| unknown or in trying to do something
for the infinite. Ceremonies, prayers
and inspired books, miracles, special
| providence, and divine interference all
| belong to the supernatural, and form no
| part of real religion. The world is
wasting its energy.
Man should cease to expect aid from
any supernatural source. BY this time
/ he should be satisfied that worship has
not created wealth, and that prosperity
| is not the child of prayer

and locked it. Then he went home.
Very early in the morning he went to

He picked the sign up and carried it
