Belief Comes With knowledge,

Travellers tales" although they
have always been regarded with suspi-
cion, were received by our ancestors in
singularly confiding spirit, and Marco
Polo, and THAT archliar" even, Sir
John Vaudeville himself, were treated
with more or less respect. But as if to
make up for their readiness to believe
in "Gorgons and Hydras and Chimeras
dire" when at distance, other gener-
ations were singularly distrustful OF
most things near at hand. They dis
played to a singular extent the wonder

Of being "buncoed.
Ignorance doubts itself, and conse-
quently everybody and everythin else.
1t is only complete knowledge that is
more nearly credulous, and advance to-
ward 1T has been shown as much by
what men are willing to believe and
the readiness with which they believe
it as by anything else. When the mar
vels of the Roentgen rays were an
nounced, the attention of the world was
brought up with a round turn by dis
covery almost dramatic in its sudden
ness and surprise. Such sharp demands
are becoming more and more frequent,
but if there is anything more wonderful
than the amazing nature of such inven-
tions it is the way in which they are
received.

How DR.. Cuyler Became . Minister,

Peter Carter, in Golden Rule, tells
how the Rev. DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler
became a minister. It was chiefly ow-
ing to his mothers influence. Most of
Theodore's immediate male ancestors
were distinguished lawyers, and one of
them offered him fine library if he
would enter the legal profession. His
mother, however, had consecrated him
to the ministry, and fearing that he
might be persuaded into the study of
law she sent him abroad, which was the
first of his many trips across the sea.
While he was absent in Europe, his
mother engaged a room for him at
Princeton Theological seminary, 60
strong was her faith that he was to be
q minister. On his return from Europe
young Cuyler went with his mother to
visit some relatives near Ludlowville,
n. T., and while there made two on
three addresses at small religious meet
ings. His addresses were 20 successful
in their effect that he was convinced
that the Christian ministry was his
proper field Of labor.

a Americas Bark Built In l76l etiu

The bark True Love, built in Phila.
deiphia In 1894. has been found upon
search to be yet afloat in the capacity Of
2 coal hulk, engaged in active trade.
FMS discovery was made through a cas-
ualty recorded in the Maritime Exchange
AZ follows: True Love, barge, was in
collision with schooner Grayesend of
London, on Gravesend, and had mort
quarter damaged to such an extent that
it was found necessary to tow her into
Rochester. and she arrived at that place
in charge of the tug Commerce. The
true Love has not only outlived her
builders and their successors, but has
also outlived every craft that was built
in her time and for many years after.
ward, and this fact, coupled with the
report that the historic craft is still en-.
gagged in active pursuits, places Phila-
delphia at the very top notch as q ship
building center.
In 1894, when this famous old craft
was launched on the banks Of the Della
ware, although her length was but 90
feet inches, she was then .the largest
vessel of commerce that the Delaware
had ever f1oated. Contrast this with the
dimensions of the huge Hamburg Amer
lean Packet company's steamship Penn
sylvania, whose length is 5s7 feet, and
one will be amazed with the magnitude
of the modern ship of commerce The
True Love, upon being completed, sailed
away from Philadelphia early in 1865,
and no record is had Of her return to
this city until Aug. 20, 1873, when, at
the age of 100 years, she came into port
from Ivigtut, Greenland, with a cargo
Of kryolite in command of Captain
Thomas Nathaniel consigned to b.
Crowley. She was discharged here and
surveyed by the American Lloyds in
to return again. Upon her arrival short
ly afterward in London she was sold
and turned into a coal hulk, in which
capacity she still serves

Love are:- Length, 96 feet inches;

tie more cargo. .,
The discovery that there was still
adoat Philadelphia built vessel of such
an age has caused much comment on
the floors of the Maritime Exchange,
and some shipping men are of the opin-
ion that this old craft should, if posi-
BILE, be purchased as a relic. Records
show that the True Love was for time
owned in Hull, England, by G. Dahl
previous to her purchase by John S.
Ward Of London, and during that time
she was engaged in the Baltic trade. -

Washington, May 5.-The tariff bill
was reported to the senate yesterday to
the surprise Of senators and the public.
When the senate finance committee met
yesterday the idea prevailed that the
bill would be held in committee for two
days. All the members Of the commit
tee were present. The Democrats ex-
amined the bill for nearly an hour,
making running comments upon it. They
announced that they were against the
bill as whole. They soon understood
that Jones Of Nevada was going to vote
with the Republicans, and realized that
there was no possibility Of changing the
bill. They had no desire to make any
factious opposition. and when a motion
was made by the Republicans to report
the bill at once the vote was taken
promptly. All the Republicans, with
Jones Of Nevada, voted for the motion
and all the Democrats voted against it,
the vote standing 6 to 5. Later in the
day Aldrich announced that he would
call up the bill Tuesday May IS.
Say 1t Will Raise Revenue Enough.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee say there is no statement to be
made now as to the effect of the bill,
the amount Of revenue to be raised by it
or the reductions. When the bill is
taken up in the senate Aldrich will
make such a statement in the opening
speech. 1T will raise revenue enough, ("
was the comment Of Allison, assented
to by Aldrich. They estimated, how
ever, that the increased revenue to be
raised from beer would be SIG, OO0, 900
and from tea 10000 000 Jones of
Arkansas. the Democratic tariff leader,
said that he expected there would be
about six weeks debate on the bill.
Several sections in the last part Of the
Dingley bill which re-enacted the pres
ent law are stricken out. This will have
the effect of leaving the present law
stand and avoid discussion to a great
extent.
Radically Different from Dingley's.
The comments on the bill are of course
partisan. Some features are very much
disliked by even Republicans, but upon
the whole the Republicans commend
and the Democrats condemn It, though
members Of the committee say that the
subcommittee has in many particulars
improved upon the Dingley bill. The
new bill is radically different from the
Dingley bill, practically amounting al
most to another measure. Many Inn
portant schedules were rewritten entire

bill with sundry amendments (mere
than thousand Of them)," and with
the reciprocity chapter stricken out Re-
troactive duties are also eliminated
