THE LIMITATIONS OF SCIENCE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR President Morton's article in your issue OF
to-day entitled Religion and Science Is an ad-
rr,,obIo statement of the fact that conflict can
oxist between true science and true religion. be-
cause the one deals with observations Of natural
nbenomena and the other treats Of things OF which
faith Is our only evidence.
II IT NAV be permitted TO question any part OF
President Morton's statement. It may be noted that
he does rot hold consistently to the distinction be-
tween the natural and the supernatural. He says:
"In my opinion the Matching Of chicken from an
egg is lust as much beyond the reach OF our pres
emf scientific knowledge as TO It's cause and origin
as the restoration Of vitality 10 dead bcdy'
In certain sense this may be true Doubtless
we know no more of the origin of the forces OF
M turc than did the first man. And have always
held In the belief Of that able and devout
ma hematican the late Professor W. II. c. Bart
lett who attributed all force TO the direct exercise
OF the will Of God Nevertheless there Is pro-
found difference between the operation Of force
occurring in the usual course OF nature. as the
Matching OF egg, and one which rever so occurs.

HOLD GOODS ARE MADE.
There are a few things I'm the way Of furniture
which have escaped injudicious overpToduction by
reason of the facility and cheapness OF machine
construction and OF these. chairs, tables and set
Ties Of wicker arc notable. AS In all things done
entirely by hand the ideas and skill Of the worker
are clearly apparent IN this furniture. which re-
mains in constant favor by virtue of It's easy adapt
ability TO the fashion OF the day IN form and color.
Another cause Of its success may he the undeni-
able fact that a woman always looks well in
wicker chair, which conceals no part of the cos
tune and yet affords Tie support OF heavily up
holstered piece.

WHY WATER WILL
 BE SHUT OFF.
Not for the Councils Failure to Pay the Bnl for FlushIng Sewers. but for Water Furnished for Fire Pur-
 poses.

The GRAPHIC erred in stating yes terday that Attorney Bridges of the Water < Light Go. bad notified the City Council that unless the bill of $500 rendered for flushing sewers was paid that the Water ( Light Go. would shut off the water sup. ply. Attorney Bridges and mem bers of the council inform us that what Mir. Bridgss did say was that unless the September and October accounts for water furnished for fire purposes were paid that the supply of water would be shut off, and that the company was willing that the bill rendered for flushing sewers should be adjudicated by the courts, and the bill had been rendered for that purpose.
 The GRAPHIC makes this state ment so that there may be no mis- apprehension of the real state of facts and differences that exist be- tween the Mayor and the Water & Light Go.

Gov. "Bob'' Taylor.

Gov. Bob" Taylor, the famous "fddling" governor of Tennessee, will deliver his celebrated lecture on "The Fiddle and the Bow" next Fri- day evening at the opera house. Gov. Taylor has become an historic al character, partly by reason of that memorable campaign which he conducted against his brother, Ali, who is a Republican, while Bob is a "dyed-in-the-w ool" Democrat. The way "Goy. Bob" fiddled his way in- to the hearts of the common people, and made himself an idol to them, is still q popular theme for conyersa- tion in Tennessee. Gov. Taylor is perhaps one of the most finished pulp lie speakers before the people. He is a past master in the art of word painting, and from the beginning of his lecture to the end his audience is enraptured with his charming word pictures that glitter and shine with gems of thought, There is but one Bob" Taylor, and those who have heard him once, will gladly avail themselves of the privilege of hearing him again.

THAT CLAYTON CONFESSION
Sheriff Clary, of Bradley County, Has Proof That It Was Made
 in Georgia.
in Georgia.

Sheriff J. D. Clary. of Bradley O., called on Gov. Jones yesterday, y says the Arkansas Gazette, 'sand re- lated strong corroboration of the reputed fact that a Georgia convict has confessed the murder of John NJ. Clayton, at Pldmmervile. Sheriff Clary has it from former Georgian living in Bradley county, that a Georgia convict made such confes- sion to br6 ther convict. The con fessed murderer is now serving q fife sentence i'll Georgia He is former Arkansan. Sheriff Clary did not have his name, but he has undisput ed evidence that the confession was made. This tends to prove that something may yet come out of the Georgia c,e,s The Arkansas authori- ties will leave no stone unturned to bring the supposed murderer to justice in this State, if it should be found possible to do so in case where the murderer is serving life sentence in another State.
 While the State of Arkansas has a reward of only$50O standing at pres ent for the arrest and conviction of the murderer, it is thought that the relatives of the murdered man will handsomely supplement- the amount to the end that the Georgia clew may be thoroughly sifted.
