MRS. BESANT,S WAR.
Talks on Spirituality and Science and
Fights Materia1ism.

New York, April -"NIaterialism IN
dernined by Science was the subject
of Annie Besant's lecture at Chickering
hall last evening. Her auditors, by their
attentive manner and hearty applause
at intervals, appeared to feel that the
famous theosOphist's effort justified the
subject.
Mrs. Besant said in part:
in the old days Of the world science
and religion went hand in hand; this,
far back, was universally true. He who
unveiled the mysteries, of the invisible
world was a guide in philosophy, a
teacher in the facts OF science. Sci
ence bases itself upon observation. It
compares its observations, and on the
results it POUNDS it's theories. The I'M
ion of the offices Of teachers in things
physical and invisible was. after all, not
unreasonable.
IF all life has come from one source
there should be no contradiction be-
tween the spiritual and material uni
verse.
IF one look backward 1900 OF l, 700
years we find a daWning conflict be-
tween religion and science. Each be-
gins to look suspiciOusly at the other.
This difference continues and WidenS
until 1t become open warfare. Driven
from a position of authority in Europe,
science returned to Europe in the wake
of the Moslem faith. 1t was thus from
the Arabians and the Moors that the
elements of science began to assert
themselves in Europe Christians, there
fore. naturally were suspicious OF it.
Following the course down to 1000,
when Bruno persisted, down even to the
time of Darwin and Tyndall, we find
that the spirit of antagOniSm, especially
on the part of science for religion, has
grown continually. Until 20 years ago,
indeed, science seems to have been def
initely on the side of materialism. A
quarter of a century ago, particularly
in German, every man was material
list For one to declare himself for re-
igiOn was to beSpeak himself weak
minded or a villain The text books
used in nearly all civilized countries
were based upon German Investigations
So much for 20 years ago.
Science, which for SO long and until
tile to religion, now begins to under
mine the materialism which it built.
It is advancing into the invisible world
of finer forces, and all men capable of
thinking soon Will be compelled to ac-
cept the spiritual philosophy as the only
one logically possible. Either We must
base ourselves on matter or life. No pO-
sition between is intelligent or reason
able.
''science today has demolished the
accepted theory of 20 years ago, Once
an atom always an atom No scientist
think at this time would venture to
assert the eternity of the atom, in the
s'Prof. Crookes says: Compare an
atom with a cup which you dip into an
ocean of water and in which you find
two forces, positive and negative Prof.

OFFER OF SCHOOL BOOKS.
One Concern Says Uniformity Suits it
All Right.

A Chicago antitrust company engaged
in the publication of school books has
written a letter to the state superintend-
ent from which the following paragraphs
are taken:
I'VE are confident that the state of Kan
will be inclined to accept only books
of firSt-class merit. The common schools
have for many years been referred to
with pride by the people and teachers OF
the state. We beg leave to assure you
that we will make an earnest effort to
comply with the requirements of the new
school text book law and trust that we
will be able to offer you something that
will, both from the standpoint of merit
and price. commend it to the favorable
consideration of your commission.
I'VE have no hesitation in maintaining
that when a great state proposes to pro-
vide for uniformity of textbooks and to
give the publishers the control of the pat
ronage of the state for a definite time,
that it is possible to furnish books at less
prices than when the books are handled
in the ordinary way. Every publisher is
well aware of the fact that the cost Of
securing trade for even the best books
involves very large outlay in the way of
agency expenses. State uniformity tends
to reduce this cost to the minimum and
we believe that the people of the state
should have the benefit of the saving
which results from the method of doing
business in a wholesale way.
THE Kansas commission may rest as
sured that will ask consideration of
no inferior books from mechanical
standpoint or that of intrinsic merit"

POSES FOR A LIVELIHOOD.
Daughter of a Former Army officer
Becomes q Professional Model

washington. April S.-Miss Kate
Mickles Bradley, daughter of the late
Col George w. Bradley, United States
army has become a professional mod
ell. A few months ago Miss Bradley
and her mother returned to their home
here after eight years absence in the
west. At the time of her departure,
Miss Bradley was an almost helpless
invalid, but during her sojourn west
she seemed to have been touched by
fsiry's wand, and transformed into
perfection of physical vigor and grace.
She takes to herself all credit for the
change, and claims that if other girls
would go and do likewise there need be
no such thing in a woman's existence
as an awkward figure or pose.
Yes; 1 consider myself a profession
al model" declared Miss Bradley when
talking the matter over: and only
Ifsh myself substantially in my spec
ial work, which is physical culture. I
can understand how people are shock
ed at the idea of posing in the nude,
but I can see no objection to posing as
a draped figure, as L do. The profess
sional price paid by the art schools for
models is Use for pose of three hours,
but artists usually pay their models
better. A model makes more money
for standing than for sitting. I don't
know about the prices for the nude
You would be surprised, though, if you
knew how many respectable looking
and acting young women there are,
even in this city, who pose for the alto
gether. I met one in a studio yester-
day, and she seemed very ladylike and
nice. I am now posing for Mr.. UhL I
wear a Greek robe, and am reclining
on a grassy bank by q lake. He will
use another model for the head. I am
also to be Mr.. McDonaFs model for his
a1legorieal conception of Grief and

them again. So you see am not idle"

Agreement Between Railroad
Board and Railroads
For Reasonable Freight Rates-Kan-
sas Roads Now Prepared to Make
Good Rates to the Gulf Since
the Pool Has Been De-
stroyed.

NJ. A Low, who is known all over
Kansas and among his associates in
railroad circles as the silent man, -
but also as man who does a great
deal of thinking, is the most recent ad-
Vocate Of an agreement between the
railroads and railroad commissioners
as to what shall constitute reasonable
freight rates, the same to be promul-
gated by the commissioners and ac-
cepted by the railroads.
Mr.. Low has taken but little part in
the discussion of this subject Mr.. Hurd
of the Santa Fe going first to the COM
m1SS1oners and making the suggestion
mat such action be taken However.
Mr.. Low appeared before the state
board of railroad commissioners yester-
day and presented his views in favor
of such a proposition.
Mr.. Low said the railroads are very
des1rOuS of securing some action to-
wards an adjustment of freight rates
which will enable them to divert the
Gulf.
The dissolution of the freight rate
associations and pools, brought about
by the decision of the United States
supreme court in the Transmissouri
case, has, for the first time in a long
period of years, given to western roads
a cherished opportunity to now put
themselves in shape to absolutely con-
troll this great volume of business.
Under the operation of the agree
ments, as told by Mr.. Low before the
commissioners, western lines have been
compelled to handle shipments legiti-
mately belonging to the southern traf-
f1c and likewise to their southern lines,
to eastern roads which conveyed the
export grain and produce to market via
New York. By this arrangement the
western roads were practically pro-
hibited from boldly going out after
business in the state of Kansas and
shipping grain to the Gulf at a reason
able rate as demanded by the people
In delivering the products of the
great west to eastern lines the western
roads, as a result, were compelled to
give up also the lions share of the
profits of hauling. Now they will haul
corn and wheat to the Gulf at lower
rates and take the profits themselves.

Railroad Commissioner Campbell and
A. A. Hurd of the Santa Fee were dis
cussing freight rates one day this week,
Mr.. Hurd suggesting that it really
makes no difference to the farmer what
the freight rates are, as the consumer
pays them.
You are a Republican," queried Mr..
Campbell.
Yes. sir" promptly responded Mr..
Hurd.
of course you voted for Mckinley
and supported the honest money plat
form ?" continued Mr.. Campbell.
Certainly said Mr.. Hurd.
And for protective tariff" rejoined
Campbell.
''Of course replied Mr. Turd.
Now, what I want to know from
you Mr.. Hurd, is how do You harmon
ize the theory of the Republican party
that the foreigner pays the tariff with
the theory that the consumer pays the
freight rates?"
