A NEW RELIGION Is NEEDED.
Rev. DR.. Heller NewtOn's Rema rk-
able Pulpit UtteranCe.

New York, Jan. lO--The Rev. Dr.. K.
Heber Newton yesterday preached ser
mon at Ali Souls Church, which goes be
yond any thing that people have looked Tor
from even this sensational pulpit orator.
The giStof hisdscours. and decla "a ton was
ness, and that new religion must be
found Some OF the more striking pas
sageS follow:
The traditional syst ems of divinity which
have guided the course of the western
world seem to hosts of men today Of as
much help as tn charts Of New York harhor
drawn up by the primitive knickerbockers
would b. To- our monster steamers.
"Sublimcly unconscious OF the day that
is breaking outside the church walls, our
priests - droning thu old reirains, shout an
impossible EihIa and an unnatural christ,
ana ana; hemattzing thoss VINO don't care TO
come in and listen 10 the music of the
past.
"PulpitS are timorous Snd silent on the
Questions of the age. Conventions re-
authoriza at every triennial session as text
books for theological semnaries learned
treatiSes which are as accurate maps OF our
present knowledge as the celestial charts Of
the Ftolaniaic astronomers, with cycle aad
epi-cycle scribbled DER, or the sixteenth
century terrestrial globes.
What is needed is not deEGEciation, bat
the quickening of a lew idea and the
kindliug of new ideal which shall once
more guide and inspire man 70 LIE higher
than that of pl assure.
The characteristic feature Of political
life in the modern world is Democracy.
The Sc. toward it Is universal ana resIstlesS.
Can democracy be trusted without re
ltgion? The three ideals OF democracy each
show themselves to involve real religion.
Liberty without law is license What law
other than self-interest can bind men long
without the vision of that higher life IN
which We are all members one of another,
all parts of divine whole?
''so-i.Jy itself, the civilization Of an
Industrial and commercial era, IS evolving
O new order before our eyes. Everywhere
new and more glOri)us order is strug-
Cling TO emerge from the ethical chaos we
call civilization, awaiting only some re
generative enthusiasm for human rights
to thrfl through the seething masses, with
eyes turned i'm mute duplication to the
church of the ChTiStuS ConSolatOr.
But It's batteries don't work, and no
electric thrOb draws classes and nations
together in the Brotherhood Of love. Every
new advance of humanity is won against
the obstruCtiveneSS of the churches.
The era of.COmpetit ion is ended. The
era of combination has opened. All bust
ness is concentrating. In this uaSSing
of capital there is coming to tie on ALSO
lutte domination over the " 6ge-worker, over
the interests of the people at large, over
the life of the state itself.
Plainly, a real religion Of some sort
is imperatively needed-nore needed than
ever"

WOMEN STRIPPED OF FURS.
Tourists Taken in Hand by Customs
Officers at Niagara.


Officers at Niagara.
Niagara Falls. n. Y, Jan. 10.-The
novel sight of women residents of the
Canadian and American sides of the
river, and OF tourists crossing the
bridges between estwo countries
stripped of all their seal furs was view
ed yesterday by many. This is caused
by the enforcement of the new law
which the customs officials have been
instructed to carry out rigidly. Nearly
all Wearers of sealslSins were notified
on the Canadian side to leave their
sacques, gloves and capes there if they
did not want them confiScated.
The United States cAstoms officers
stationed at both bridges were notified
last evening to seize anything that
looked like sealskin. and it was after
this notification that the trouble COM
menced.
The situation at Niagara Falls is
probably different from that at any
other point on the frontier. Both sides
of the river are tn settled and the
Canadian and American population
go back and forth daily.
On the Canadian side back Of the
high bluff, number of wealthy Ameri-
can families have country seats, and a
great many of the ladies in these fam
lilies. as we'll as Canadian ladies, who
wear sealskin coats, pass over the river
TO the American side daily while out
driving and making calls. The Falls
is also a great visiting resort for tOu-
rists in winter, whe drive over the
bridges to view the ice effects of the
Falls
The sealskin garments taken from
their wearers are turned into the APP
praiser's office at thescnstoms house at
Suspension Bridge, where the owner.
after filing application. must wait un-
til notice has been sent to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for a decision in
the matter. Several sealskin hats of
Canadians were seized today, belong
ing to gentlemen en- route on business
to Buffalo and New York, and many a
man went on to his destination tonight
wearing a little travelling cap, after
having left his name and something
by which he could identify his confis-
Gated headgear.
II is true the American and Cana
dian customs officers notified ladies
wearing sealskin garments of the liza
bility Of seizure. and the ladies left
their wraps in the customs offices.
crossing the river without them but
this did not prevent an amount of fem
mime Tuning
The law also affects the Canadian
railroads running from Chicago east
ward. These include the Michigan Cen
trial. the Grand Trunk. the Canadian
Pacific, the Wabash and the Lehigh
Valley.

IN THE TRACK OF \ wHIRLwIND
Thrilling Experience of the british
steamer Roman Prince.

New York. Jan. 10.-The British
steamer Prince from Pernam-
buco. had a. thrilling experience sat
urday within. a Hundred miles of port.
The ship was boNling along at a ten
knot rate Of speed Saturday afternoon
when heavy gale and high seas were
encountered. The wind blew strong
from the southwest and TO the dis
NAV of officers ard crew number of
whirlwinds were seen travelling swiftly
toward the ship. The steamer slowed
down, thus escaping the whirlwinds,
which crossed the bow, half mile
away.
A few minutes later the vessel cross
ed the track of the whirlwinds which
had churned up the sea until it was
confused and dangerous. The water
dashed up about the steamer, stove in
the bridge and carried away rails and
stanchions on the port side. The
watch officer was knocked down and
entangled in the wreckage, but escap-
ed injury.
The whirlwinds, as described by Cap
tain Remnant, were about 100 feet high
and blew furiously about their cen
ters. They Travelled at the rate of
about twenty miles an hour.

MONDAY, JANUARY 10. 1898.
Notes of the Day.


The latest news from Columbus
handsomely corroborates the view Of
the situation taken by this journal
from the beginning. No Democrat
could regard the revolt Of Kurtz, Bush
nell and the rest of that element
against the vicious and evil methods
of Hannaism with anything but hi
larity modified by. contempt. This is
seen in the demand Of the Democratic
steering committee that the afTdavits
Of at least eight Republicans. swearing
that they Will vote against Hanna first,
last and all the time. must be produced
at once, or the Democrats will nomi-
nate man Of their own. The fact
that even Republicans of the class who
are ready to revolt against the party
principles Of bribery. corruption and
bulldozing cannot be trusted in a po-
htical deal without the support Of their
individual aftidaVits. must be taken as
a sad evidence Of the conditions To
which the party in Ohio has become
degraded. Probably il would require
five or six afiidavits apiece for the
Hanna men TO induce anyone to take
their words: but. fortunately for them.

much as upon other forEls Of consider

HATPIN AS A WEAPON.
With 1t n plucky Woman Puts Two
Robbers to Flight.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-A hat pin in the
hands Of an excited woman put two
robbers to fight and saved Conduc-
tor Symington Of the Blue Island street
car line. Two men rode around the
loop with Symington. and. afterward
when he was in the car collecting Miss
Sadie Williams fare, they seized him
and started to search him.
During the struggle Miss Williams
drew hat pin and began jabbing 1T
into the robbers. She plunged it re-
peatedly into their legs and arms, and
even when almost knocked down by
one of them she recovered herself and
stuck the pin as far into him as it
would go. Finally, the men ran 70 the
rear and jumped off the car without
having got anything except wounds.
Then Miss Williams had Mysteries, and
did not recover for a long time. She
