New Harbor Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 1i.-Chicago and New
York capitalists have organized to con-
struct an inland harbor i'm the heart ~
the Calumet region. The expenditure OF
private capital will be s60O000O. Ham
mond and East Chicago have assured
prompt cooperation. and tho Federal
government is expected TO lend a hand.
The harbor will be adapted to the deepest
draught navigation. The enterprise Will
give employment 10 200 men. Under tho
present plans work viii be begun In Octo-
Der. Completion is expected within two
or three years
IL is believed that the sequel OF this I'M
dertaking will be the development OF 4
great commercial town at the northwest
ern gateway of Indiana. The Industrial
and agricultural resources OF Indiana will
be linked with tho shipping trade Of tho
lakes. Incidentally some people believe
that 1t will eventually divert considerable
traffic from Chicago.
Not until recently. however, was It's
success made possible. 4 unity o. inter-
ests has been perfected. Back of tho
scheme are men Of prominence. They say
the scheme is feasible. Among the New
Workers interested are Robert r. Todd.

1t does not take Americans forever TO
accomplish a thing, and the exposition

plete as though it had been a century in

Perhaps the most difficult thing to ex-
ecute is a project dear to the heart or
the builders and mechanics Of this coun-

ries could be run up 1t would give them
the utmost satisfaction. 1t is not difiicut
TO do and would illustrate to thousands
the advantages of business in the air. But
il would take time To get the framework
constructed. and as Niagara is cold
enough to prohibit building in mid-winter,
the project will be attended with some
difficulty.
The trades unions are enthusiastic about
the exposition, and want the mechanics,
or working men. particularly represent

means of a grand tunnel, made after the
tunnel under the Seine. Soundings and
observations will be made, and if the

eanizaton that has this project In nina
will investigate 1t and place 1t before the
executive committee of the exposition.

Fled Through Dynamite Flames.

From the Denver Republican: Sara
toga (Wyo.) dispatch: Two miners in
the Axis copper mine near this place
had a narrow escape from death yes
terday. They were working at the face
of 200-foot tunnel, and between them
and the outlet was tin warming mag
azine containing thirteen sticks of dy-
Mantle under which was a lighted
candle. Suddenly the men noticed that
drippings from the candle had taken
fire and that the box containing dyna-
mite was ablaze. For a moment the
men were paralyzed with fear. They
were afraid to run past the blazing box
of explosives and equally afraid to re-
main where they knew the gas which
would accumulate from the burning
dynamite would smother them. Finally
concluded to run and were obliged to
cover their faces as they pushed
through the flames, which by this time
filed the tunnel. The powder did not
explode, but was entirely consumed by
the fire. 1t took several hours to clear
the tunnel of the gases generated by
the burned dynamite.

PARTISAN LAWYERS.

Their Life Is Very Different from That
of the American Attorneys.
Lawyers in France, according to a
Rochester gentleman, who has just re-
turned from three years sojourn in
Paris. do not have such an easy time
as they do in this country, says the
Rochester Union and Advertiser.
There, far from encouraging the bright
young men of the land to enter into
the legal profession, 1t would seem that
that they are discouraged and every
obstacle thrown in their path, the re-
suit generally being that it is only a
rich man who can be lawyer. Under
the regulations at present in force"
says this Rochester gentleman, bar
risters, after they have kept their
terms, and passed sort of three years.
novitiate, during which they have the
title of advocate, but have no voice in
the deliberations of the council of dis
cipline, and are not inscribed on the
rolls, can plead during the three years
probation; but it is sort OF empty
privilege in nine cases out of ten. When
an eminent barrister in France en-
ploys junior it is generally some one
incribed on the rolls; should he en-
ploy the probationer, the honor thus
accorded him must suffice He does
not pay him. But he must live, and
here is where the problem comes in,
which is usually more easily solved
by the American or English young
lawyer than it is by his Partisan broth
er. In the first place, there is the out
lay for his gown, or beretta, which
comes close to 80 francs, unless he pre-
fers to hire it at the rate OF 10 cents
per day. Then he must engage some
one to teach him department, for this
is an essential qualification in this
land, where King Etiquette rules with
an iron hand. The services of pro-
fessor of the conservatory must also
be called in to train his voice, unless
nature has been kind to him in that
respect. But these expenses are mere
incidents. He must, above all, not
live in small chambers and rent dingy
Offices. Poverty is a poor key to open
the pockets of his clients.

HUXLEY AND RELIGION.
Was He Its Enemy or It's Greatest
lcrIn

Was He Its Enemy or Its Greatest
Friend:
Huxley has come and gone To-day
he is numbered among the enemies Of
the faith, but in a not-distant to-mor-
row he may be named as one Of the
greatest of it's friends, says McClure's.
In the language OF pure science and for
all time, he laid down principle which
removes the greatest stumbling block
| in the path of the eager seekers of this
and future time. This is, that the ap-
prehension of the higher truths OF life
is within the reach of the aesthetic fac
| ulties only; that the human reason is
not the door by which the truths of re-
| ligion find entrance to the mind, and
that it is no evidence of the untruth Of
religion that the reason alone cannot
receive it. This had been said before,
nineteen hundred years before, but
Huxley's statement is the one for mod
ern skeptics' need. Science learned in
the late conflict to admit that, since
| its own depths are fathomless, it may
not reasonably expect that the great
mysteries of life and death shall be any
less so. And science is to-day beginning
to bring to the aid of religion help it
| has never given before. Moral science.
using an infidel Napoleon who failed at
40 and Gladstone eloquent at 80 as il
lustrations, is now presenting the prac-
tical theorem that lasting success in the
life of any man depends directly upon
morIfi strength. Social science is DEM
onstrating that that healthy state Of
public opinion which can alone con-
serve the vitality and progress of com
munitieS and nations depends absolute
ly upon the united support of major
fty OF the citizens given to a moral code
which can have no existence except
upon basis of religious faith. And
the physical and human sciences. which
are known to be converging to period
of great and wonderful discovery, may
eventually present us with the physical
organization of thoughts, with the per
manency OF memory apart. from the re-
cording body, and with the indefinite
endurance of post -mortem personality
these and other facts, which will GER
tainly smooth the way to the general
acceptance of religious conceptions
now difficult to the minds of MANY
men. And when all these have been
discovered, and all these have been
told, they will all be found to have
been clearly stated in simple words in
the peaceful land of Palestine, nine
teen hundred years ago.
