DR.. ABBOTT ON TRADITIONS.
He Says Those Relating to the
Authorship of Old Testament
Books Are of Little Value.

At Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, re-
Gently DR.. Lyman Abbott reviewed his
former sermons, under Summary of
Results" He made a general answer
to the criticisms that he has under
mined religious faith and impaired the
usefulness of the Bible He read d
list of some of the universities and the
illogical seminaries that are teaching
the results of the higher criticism, in
order to prove that his sermons con-
tanned no new or unusual doctrines.
In speaking of the generally accept
ed traditions relating to the authorship
of the old books of the Bible, to which
he has referred in his sermons, he said:
There are three reasons why modern
scholars think the traditions of little
value. The first is because they have
been undsputed. An undisputed ira
dition, they think, is not entitled to
much weight.
For centuries there was an undis-
puted tradition that the world was fiat
and that the sun went round the world,
and when that tradition was disputed
it was found to be false. For years
there were undisputed traditions re-
specting the early history of Greece
and Rome, and even Switzerland, and
when scholars began to investigate
they found them in many cases false,
and have repudiated them.
The sec ond reason is that the tradi-
tiOns grew up in a confessedly uncriti-
cal age. The tradition that Moses
wrote the Pentateuch grew up possi-
bly, four centuries before Christ that is,
LOCO years after Moses What reason
to think that men who lived two, three,
or four centuries before Christ were
any better able to determine who wrote
the Pentateuch than We? Their schol-
arship was certainly less, their knowl-
edge was certainly less, and their OPP
portunities for investigation were less.
''The third reason is that they are
Rabinical traditions. The Christian
Church in an uncritical period inherit
ed this tradition from the Jewish
Church, and the Jewish Church Inherit
ed it from an earlier period. Now.
Christ Himself has told us that the
Rabbis did not understand the Old Tes-
lament Paul has done the same
thing. And Christ has said to His
own Disciples, bred in this Rabbinical
school, that they We're fools and blind
because they accepted the traditions of
these ancient Rabbis. The scientific
student therefore sets aside this tradi-
ton.
In another part of his sermon, in re-
ferring to the criticism he had re-
ceived DR.. Abbott said:
Il was brought up in the traditionary
school, but 1 have finally learned that
the Bible is a human book. Books
that had been closed to me are open.
Since have been delivering these lec-
lures 1 have received scores of letters
from people who have said to me that
their eyes have been opened, and the
Bible has been made clear to them.
For their words 1 thank them here and
now l believe that this study of the
Scriptures will make it more sacred to
us, because 1 think it will teach us
more the way Of Him who is the life
and who is enshrined within it,

CURRENCY REFORM.
A Committee From the Monetary
Convention Calls on Reed.

WASHINGTON, March 26-Members
of the Committee on Legislation ap
pointed by the Indianapolis Monetary
Convention last summer called on
Speaker Reed to-day and talked with
him concerning legislation for currency
and banking reform.
The spokesmen of the delegation
We're George Foster Peabody of New
York, John P. Irish of San Francisco
and H. H. Hanna of Indianapolis. They
spoke of the desrability of the
passage of a bill authorizing the Pres
ident to appoint commission to inves-
tigate the banking and currency sys-
tenn of the country and to recommend
changes. If any bill embodying a sys-
tenn acceptable to the business inter-
ests of the country could be passed
they would indOrse such legislation
without the creation of any commits
sion. The needed changes in the pres
ent banking system which would in
sure more plentiful and elastic sup
ply of money for circulation for the
farming districts remote from cities
was the principal point they urged in
support of their movement.
Reed told the committee that the
passage of the tariff bill was the first
and principal work cut out for this
session.

PROFESSOR YOUNG'S TRIUMPH,
HIS ASTRONOMICAL VIEWS ARE
SUSTAINED.
Photographs Bear Out His Theory
That the Suns True Atmosphere
is Extremely Thin.

BANGOR CMe) March 26-Professor
Charles A. Young, the eminent Prince
ton astronomer, who is here delivering
a course of lectures, has just received
number of photographs secured in Nova
Zembla last August during the solar
eclipse by one of the observers sent out
by the Royal Astronomical Society.
The photographs furnish important
and remarkable proof of the deductions
made from an observation of the Span
ish solar eclipse Of 1870, made by Pro-
fessor Young, and which have ever
since been the subject of heated contro-
versy by astronomers.
This early observation was the first
which had ever noted the sudden "re-
versaP' of the dark lines of the ordinary
solar spectrum into bright lines at the
moment when the suns disc is obscured
by the moon, Immediately followed by
their almost instantaneous disappear
ance.
Professor Young concluded that the
suns true atmosphere, the reversing
layer" he called it, and ''Youngs STRAIT
um'' others called it, must be extremely
thin, not more than 500 miles thick at
the most.
For this observation and for the DEM
onStratiOn of the gaseous and solar ma
ture of the corona, by his discovery of
the corunium line in the spectrum, Pro-
fessOr Young received the Jansen gold
medal from the Paris Academy of Sci
ences.
For some years the existence Of the
reversing layer" remained uncontest-
ed, but after a time Professor Lockyer
of the British Royal Society, called it in
question a not consistent with the new
theories of the dissertation of gases by
the intensity of the solar heat. Accord
ing to him, what we know as iron vapor
is a compound of several substances,
separate and distinct near the surface
of the sun, and reunited only at a great
elevation.
The photographs now in Professor
Young's possession seem to confirm be-
yond dispute that he was correct and
that Professor Lockyer was wrong. 1t
is a singular coincidence that Professor
Lockyer was the head of the expedition

NEW YORK, March 26.-The far

Supreme Courts decision in the Trans

Supreme Court has struck a vital blow

ton. Once, and once only, does the
gallantry, gentleness, love and gentility
Of this uncultured native gentleman go
down before the passion Of just anger,
but the art of the actor lifts the scene
into the realm of the tragic and moves
it along upon heroic level. Aside from
that, it is all the simple, gentle, but
strong and artful conduct of an old
man, whose heart is SO roomy that it
embraces all within the influence of its
love, but whose head is cool and cal
culating and controlled by just judg-
ment.
The scenes are all laid in Maine. all
cluster about one worn old farm, and
the characters are all the people of sim
pie life untouched by the grimy I'm
gers of the town and unsullied by envy,
backbiting and neighborhood inhar-
mony There is one exception, when
Martin, the farm proprietor, is led by
greed and a hardshell doctrine as to
parental authority, to plunge into a
doubtful business scheme, and to
bruise the hearts of those who loved
him best, by attempting to force his
daughter into an unnatural union. But
he escapes from these temptations; his
native manlineSs saves him, and brings
him to honest and open confession, and
to restoration in the affections of his
family. Mr.. Herne has introduced a
notable innovation in stage work usual
to such plays. He does what seems at
first a dangerous thing; he sends the
curtain down at the end upon dark
ened and empty stage. Until ten sec
ondS before the drop reaches the stage,
the audience has reason to believe that
something extraordinary is about to
happen that a new and perhaps start
ling phase of the play is to develop.
But nothing happens; the lights are out,
silence reigns; a stray moon beam steals
in through the frosted panes of the farm
house kitchen window and the curtain
falls with no figure upon the stage;
with darkness ruling and enthroned in
silence. But what would be, ordinarily,
disappointment at such an ending, IS
complete satisfaction with this uncon-
ventional method. The audience dis
covers that it was just the right thing
to do; that the story had been fully told
and the lights put out; that the home
drama is over and all the participants
in it happy and gone to nights rest;
that there is no sequel to the tale and
that the right thing is to do as Nathaniel
did, lock the doors, put out the candles
and go to bed. Beautiful "Shore
Acres with it's quaint scenery, its gem
tie comedy, it's plain people, true
hearted, manly, wOmanly, and its in
tensely human interest, will be given at
this afternoon and again at s tonight
The curtain goes up at sharp on the
night performance. 1t is one thing that
Herne insists upon. He adheres to the
good old rule of past theater days when
o'clock meant precisely 1:6O, and not
as in the modern theatrical practice,
500.

They Got Separated.

The following story is vouched for by
Yale professor: Several years ago
young colored student was admitted
into the freshman class at Yale. He
was assigned in the classrooms seat
next to the son of a prominent New
York business man. whom we may call
for convenience Smith. Now, young
Smith did not relish the idea Of sitting
by "nigger, as he put it, so he wrote
to his father, complaining of the indig-
nifty. Mr.. Smith, the elder taking the
same view. at once wrote an angry epls-
tie to the faculty, demanding that his
son be relieved Immediately from such
close association with one of an inferior
race. The professors were puzzled, but
one of them, with long experience IN
classwork, undertook to answer the let
ter satisfactorily. He informed Mr..
Smith most politely that no present IN
reference was possible, but that IN
few weeks, when the classes were rear
ranged and graded, he could assure hlm
that the desired change would certainly
be made. Mr.. Smith was satisfied with
this assurance, young Smith was ap'
peased, and the farseeing professor mac
no difficulty whatever in keeping his
word, for, by the time the class was
graded, the young negro had PROVED
himself so superior a student that III
was among the leaders Of the first sec
ton. while Smith was an lnslgnlhcan
unit in the third. The joke was TOT
good to keep, and the whole colleg
laughed over it, except Smith, wh
naturally did not see much fun IN IN
situation. But his father wrote 10 NOR
letters to the faculty at any rate. -NeV
