The Philosopher Turned From Calvinlsm
to Episcopalianism, but Seldom
Went to Church.

The Philosopher Turned From CalvinIsm
to Bpiscopalianism, but Seldom
Went to Church.
The February instaEment of Mr.. Paul
L Ford's Century papers on THE
Many Sided Franklin" has for it's sub
ject the philosophers attitude toward
religion. His life began in the most
orthod * fashion, though it did not
long continue so. Trustworthy tradi-
ton says that his mother took him
through the snow to the Old South
Church, Boston, on the very day he
was born, believing that he would be
damned if be died unbaptized. That
either mother or child should survive
such exposure seems almost miraculous
to US degenerate moderns. Franklin
became diegusted with Oalvinism in
later life and turned to Episcopalian-
ism, but seldom attended service.
Less than six weeks before his death,
he wrote thus to a friend in response
to a question as to his religious be-
liefs:
You desire to know something Of my
religion. It is the first time I have
been questioned upon it, but I cannot
take your curiosity amiss and shall en-
deavor in q few words to crafty it.
Here is my creed. I believe in one
God, the Creator Of the Universe.
That he governs it by his Providence.
That he ought to be worshipped. The
most acceptable service we render to
him is doing good to his other children.
The soul of man is immortal and will
be treated with justice in another life
respecting it's conduct in this. These I
take to be the fundamental points in
all sound religion, and l regard them,
as you do, in whatever sect I meet
with them.
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion
of whom you particularly desire, Think
his system of morals and his religion,
as he left them to us, the best the world
ever saw, or is like to see; but l appre-
bend it has received various corrupt
ing changes, and I have, with most
of the present Dissenters in England,
some doubts as to his divinity though
it is a question 1 do not dogmatize
upon, having never studied it, and
think needless to busy myself with it
now, when I expect soon an oppor-
tunity of knowing the truth with less
trouble. l see no harm, however, in it's
being believed, if that belief has the
good consequence, as probably it has,
of making his doctrines more respected
and more observed; especially as I do
not perceive that the Supreme takes it
amiss, by distinguishing the unbeliev-
ers in his government of the world
with any peculiar mark Of d~ispleasure.
shall only add, respecting myself,
that. having experienced the goodness
Of that Being in conducting me pros
perously through a long life, I have no
doubt of its continuance in the next,
though without the smalles conceit of
meritinR such goodness.

Of the true gentleman is gentle un-

.INGERSOLL IS DEAD
Passed Away Suddenly, q
Victim OF Heart Disease.
END CAME WITHOUT WARNING
pis Decoass was His WIFI
His Last Words.

New Yofk, July 24.---Colonel Robert
@. Ingersoll died at his home, Walston-
on-Hudson. near Dobb's Ferry, today,
His death was sudden ard unexpected,
and resulted from heart disease, from
which he had suffered since 1896. In
that year, during the republican ma
iOnal convention, he was taken i'll and
had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack Of heart dis
ease, and was under the care OF pbysi-
clans constantly.
For the last three days. Mr.. Ingersoll
had not been feeling we'll. Last night
he was in better health and spent a
portion OF the evening playing billiards
with Walston Ii. Brown. his son-in.
law, and G. P. Farrell, his brother-in-
law and private secretary. He seemed
to be in better health and spirits when
he retired than he had been for several
days.
This morning he rose at the usual
hour and joined the family at break.
fast. He then said he had spent bad
night. but felt better. He had been
suffering from abdominal pains and
tightness about the chest. He did not
think his condition at all dangerous.
After breakfast he telephoned to DR..
Smith, his physician, who is at Bell
Haven. and told him of his experience
during the night. DR.. Smith told him
to continue the use OF nitro. glycerine,
and that he would see him during the
day. Colonel Ingersoll spent the morn.
ing swinging in a hammock and sitting
on the veraDda with the members oi
his family. He said he was better and
had no pain.
At 1890 be started to go up stairs.
On reaching the head Of the stairs, Col
onel Ingesroll turned into his wife's
room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there. To-
gether they discussed what they wonld
have for luncheon. and Colonel Inger-
soil said he had better not eat much.
owing TO the trouble with his stomach.
He seemed in good spirits then.
After talking for few minutes, Col.
onel Ingsrsoll crossed the room and sat
down in rocking chair. Mrs. Inger.
soil asked him how he was feeling. and
he replied: "Oh. better" These
were his last words. A second after
they were uttred he was lead. The
only sign noticed by Mrs. IngersolI was
that the whites of his eyes suddenly
showed. There vas not even sigh OF
groan as death came. Doctors were
hastily called, but their verdict wai
that death had come instantly.

Washington, July 25. The war de-
partment received today from General
Otis another dispatch. giving addition
al particulars of the fight between Cap
tain Byrne, with 70 men of the Sixth
infantry, and robber bands in the
island of Negros. 1t shows that the
victory Of the soldiers will be greater
than that reported in General Otis dis
patch of July 81. and that the loss suf-
fered by the robbers was considerably
larger than before stated. Much satis-
faction is felt by General Otis over the
result of this preliminary effort in deal
ing with this disturbing element in the
islands. and he reports it as already
having a salutary effect on other bands
inlesting the locality.

ANOTHER COMBINATION.
rhis Time It's tho Baltimore q Ohio
and o. R. n N. with Union Pacinc.

rhis Time IT'S tho baltimore q Ohio
and o. X. a N. with Union Pacific.
New York. July 2.-The Herald
says; A deal is under way involving
the combination OF at least four prom
inent railroads, and perhaps two or
three more, making q complete trunk
line from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The scheme involves merging Of sew
eral Of the properties In which Kuhn,
Loeb q Company, e. H. Hartman and
Speyer 81 Company are interested, and,
with their friends. exert controlling
influence.
Among these properties are the Un-
ion Pacific, the Illinois Central and
the Chicago 81 Alton. the Chicago Ter.
minal Transfer Comapny. the Oregon
Short Line, the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation Company and the Baltimore
& Ohio. II Is asserted In some quar-
tsrs that the Great Northern will come
In, but this is considered doubtful, al
though James J. Hill is closely asso-
cisted with several Of the gentlemen
who are prominent In the railroads
mentioned.
This combination will give com.
pact system. and will bring about a
revolution In traffic alliance. The Un-
ion Pacific is the keystone. Its closest
connection at present is the Chicago e.
Northwestern. and for long time 1t
has been the prevailing opinion in
Wall street that the vanderbiIts would
attach both the Northwestern and the
Union Pacific, and were not aware un-
Ill few weeks ago OF what was going
on. The Northwestern directors have
hurriedIy considered the advisability
Of extending their Fremont branch to
Ogden to connection with the Central
Pacific. which is controlled by the
Southern Pacific. Cut off from the
Union Pacific. the Northwestern will
find no road to turn to for Pacific
coast business that does not parallel
ii for a considerable distance.
Thus. with the Northwestern ex-
tending its Fremont, Elk Horn & Mis-
souri, River railway from Casper to
Ogden, In order to fight the Union Pa
ciHc, and the Northern Pacific forced to
protect itself against the Oregon lines.
which have recently been acquired by
the Union Pacific, there Is likely to be
great time among the great trans
continental roads In the near future.

TRANSPORT INDIANA ARRIVES.

great many OF them are suffering

Among those who returned on the In.

One man had his eyes torn out by a
bullet and his jaw shattered. When
the wound was dressed he tore the
bandages off, and two or three days
later wac breaking in horse, as though
there was no gaping wound in his
head. The doctor cites other similar
cases.
A bandit named Rias is giving the

but he escaped and was still CARRYING
