A Mad Dog Scare.-The citizens of
Clayton have been much worked mp
during the past week by mad dog
scare. About two weeks ago, strange
dog came to town, which was not only
shabby looking, but seemed to be in a
sort of stupor. The dog was not al
lowed to live long, but fell victim to
q bullet from the pistol of Constable
Smith. Last Wednesday, "Ginger, I"
the pet dog of w. Fl. Davis showed
signs of the rabies, and being at
large is reported to have bitten many
dogs in town between Wednesday and
Saturday. 'Ginger" was not mad
enough to froth at the mouth and show
the extreme symptoms of hydrophobia
and school children meeting the dog
along the street, played with it as
they had been accustomed to. In this
way Anna Stevens, daughter of Mr..
Albert Stevens, received a scratch just
below her eye, and Marion Smith,
daughter of Mr.. James Smith, received
an abrasion on the wrist. 1t also at

BIBLE CRITICS DEFENDED.
DR. BATTEN SAYS THE CHURCH Is
FOUNDED ON THE LIFE OF CHRIST

FOUNDED ON THE LIFE OF CHRIST.
At meeting OF the Church Club last night the
Rev Or Batten. the new rector OF st. Marks
Protestant Episcopal Church. who formerly
professor In the Philadelphia Divinity School. do
Tended the right OF every churchman 10 investigate
the Scriptures FOR himself and form bis own opin-
ions as 10 their literal accuracy or inaccuracy, so
long as he did rot insist that other people should
adopt the conclusions to which he himself had
come
He admitted the truthfulness Of the charge that
the Church had generally been little behind
hand In the march Of scientific development but
said that no harm had come from that course.
That was the right position for the Church, as
SUCH to maintain. while her made their in
dvidual Investigations. and harm could only be
done In the future and had only been done in the
past when the Church had undertaken TO prevent
scientific development.
Or. Batten declared that the Church IL not
founded on the Bible. but the rfe Of Christ
Christ did not send his disciples out into the world
to write book books. but to preach his Gospel.
and when the Apostles wrote their books and when
81 Paul wrote his epistles. they were not written
with the Idea that they to form an essential
part or the belief ~ the Church whole for all
time. but were messages 70 a certain congregation.
10 Ill a certain emergency lie pointed out that
the Church Of Christ on earth active pro-
sressive, virile and complete long before a single
book Of the New Testament was written and long
before the Fathers had decided which books OF me
Old Testament should be canoniZed and which
should be considered apocryphsl.
Or Batten then proceeded 10 point out some OF
the more glarlng contradictions between the COS
pels. and argued from them that any theory OF inc
inspiration OF The Scriptures which could WIN
stand enlightened criticism must not Ignore these
contradictions but allow for them He believed
firmly In tho inspiration Of the Scriptures. but not
In any theory Of their inspired literal accuracy
and held that the religious value OF any thought
recorded on ne Bble Is no one WIT IeTs sL5
whether the reader believes Paul wrote H. OF DAVID
or any other man
MI Batten followed by the Rev. DR.. John
? Peters. rector OF ST Michaels. who said that
the much abused higher criticism is merely the
application Of the Scriptures 70 the ordinary II
erary and historical methods Of criticism which
have long been pursued In other lines.

SIR THOMAS WILL PICK THE BEST
NO DESIGNER YET CHOSEN BY HIM FOR 1901
RACE


From what said yesterday by Sir Thomas
Upton and from other circumstances II appears
that the owner 81 the Shamrock has not yet made
any definite arrangements as to the designing u
another challenger. Some days ago II was said
in some quarters that papers said that Sir Thomas
Lptons challenge would he probably put In for
in 1901 before he left here for England II was
pointed out by The Tribune that his challenge had
10 he backed ny the Royal Ulster Yacht Club and
that although prominent members Of that club were
still here they probably could act without first
calling meeting OF their club members. This
seems 70 have been the situation. as the Royal
Ulster officials have all returned TO Ireland.
When Sir Thomas came ashore after bidding MS
friends goodby yesterday morning. he said that
Fife was thinking of being well enough
to set about designing a craft 70 beat the Colum-
bia Sir Thomas told him not 20 worry. and Wncn
he got well they could talk the prospects for
a future challenger This showed that no arrange
ments have yet been made. and IL is believed here
the best advice OF racing men before he decides
any designer 70 build hts next cup challenger.
In the mean time u seems 10 be almost certain
that Sir Thomas will not be the next 20 sail A
yacht for The cup. There al least four men
spoken ~ In England being intending chaAen-
gers for the coming year Besides these. J. Lawson
Johnson has been here watching every with
great patience in the White Ladye. and as his
name has been before mentioned in connection with
challenging. some yachtsmen have thought that
Mr. Johnson was taking useful notes for the future.
