Bible Miracles Are Not Essential to
Christianity.

Bible Miracles Are Not Essential to
Christianity.
Miracles as an article of faith were
taken out of Christianity by Prof. Ben
jamin w. Bacon, of the Yale Divinity
School, the other evening. He spoke
before the Mems Club of the United
Church on the theme SIS Belief in
Miracles Essential to ChristianityY
At the outset Prof Bacon declared
that it was not, and he said that the
greater part of the miracles of the
Bible can now be explained by sclen-
tific reasoning. They were regarded
originally as miracles because they
were not understood. He pointed to the
alleged miraculous destruction Of arm
les and multitudes of people according
to the Old Testament, asserting that
some plague which was not understood
fell upon the armies. and that because
of the enormous number of deaths
which followed a miracle was said to
have been wrought.
Prof Bacon explained the crossing
of the Red Sea by the children of Is
rael by saying that it had been been
found that high winds actually drive
the sea back at the exact spot where
the miracle is supposed to have taken
place, and that probably the children
of Israel arrived at fnst the time when
one of these was blowing.
He declared that the test of the mir.
aculous was permanent Incompetent.
sibility." The only two miracles which
have stood the test of science in at
tempts to explain are, he said, the Res
direction and the CrucifiXion. He re-
ferred to many of the miracles of the
New Testament as Legendary acre.

were written down from memory,

AN IMMENSE SUM.
Sells Case Is Running Into Money Rapid-
iy and the End Is Not Yet.

Columbus, Dec. 11.-Just one ray of
interest enlivened the opening day of
the fifth week of the Sells divorce case.
The defense tried to read the deposition
of Myrtle Lindemuth to show that GER
tain letters were obtained from her by
fraud. They were written by her father
and spoke of obtaining money for max
ing an affidavit that he frequently saw
Peter Sells in a Chattanooga house.
AS Lindemuth admitted. the authorship
of the letters the judge held that it made
no difference how the letters were OBJ
tained. This was a severe blow to the
defense.
The day was taken up by the reading
of dispositions tending to show Peter
Sells's general reputation to be bad.
Daniels, a hack driver, and Brooks, a
deputy sheriff, declared that Sells was
a frequenter of Matte Schultz's place in
Chattanooga. In cross examination
both made admissions which decreased
the value of their testimony.
The defense stated that the presenta-
ton Of their side will occupy all this
month. The total expense of the trial
will not be less than $25,O0O, according
to careful estimates

WITHOUT AN ADDRESS
Alliance PostOffice Officials De.
liver a Package to Its
Rightfu! Owner.

Alliance, Dec ia clever bit of de-
ciphering has just been done by Assist
ant Postmaster j. Howard Trescott in
locating the owner of a photograph re-
ceived at the Alliance postoffice. The
photograph was carefully wrapped in
heavy paper but bore no mark what-
ever. externally. 1t is presumed the
address had been written on a piece Of
paper and pasted on the package, but
upon arrival here no signs of the ad-
dress were found. After waiting a few
days, thinking some one might call for
the photograph, Mr.. Trescott removed
the rubber bands and unwrapped the
photograph. The photograph was n
view of telephone office and in pencil
was the name. "Kittie."
Mr.. Trescott at once called upon
Manager ]. b. Douglas at the Central
Union telegraph office with the hope
that he might be able to solve the ques
tion of ownership. Mr.. Douglas re-
membered that Mrs. Thomas Neuman,
of Portsmouth, formerly Miss Kate
Neuwirth, who was chief operator here
at one time, was sometimes called
"Kittie" by intimate friends.
Mr.. Trescott then saw Miss Rose
Neuwirth, Of Grant street, and found
that she had been looking for photo
graph, so the mystery was solved.
This is but one of the many peculiar
cases that require keen thinking on the
part of postoffice officials. Only last
Saturday a money order, sent from
Bedford, Ohio in 1893, and which in
some way had never reached the Alli-
ance Office until last week, was return
ed to the owner The money order came
to the postoffice here via The dead letter
office. The lady 10 whom it was
addressed, had died Iii the meantime,
but Mr.. Trescott was able to find the
sender, who now resides in this city.

TO Save HER life,
Remarkable Skin Transplantin0
at Aultman Hospital.
MORE THAN 1900 CRAFTS.
Great Sacrifices, by Friends Strange
Case of Mrs. Caesar iientzi, OF
West South Street.

Mrs. Caesar Hentzi, OF 1884 West
South street, was horribly burned Sep
tember %, by the explosion of gasoline,
which she was using through u mis-
take, thinking II was oil.
So badly was Mrs Hentzi burned
that 1t was not thought possible that
she could live. She was removed to the
Aultman hospital and everything done
that medical science and the skill of
the trained nurses of that institution
could suggest.
A few days after her arrival at the
hospital, II developed that the skin on
the Woman'S breast and arms had
been burned so badly that new
skin would not form to take
the place of the injured cuticle. DIR. j.
ii. Kahler the attending physician, re-
sorted to skin grating, to save Mrs
Hentzi's life.
The skin grating was very success
fully accomplished in Mr3. Hentzis
case. Scores of persons most of whom
were fellowworkmen of Mr. Hentzi at
the Dueber works, went to the hospital
and submitted to having pieces of skin
removed and transplanted to Mrs
Hentzi.
The husband had great many CRAFTS
taken from his chest and arms for this
purpose. The CRAFTS were about one
half inch long and one-eighth of an inch
wide, while some were more nearly
square.
In making the CRAFTS, the surface of
the wounds was made raw, so that the
healing process could take place, the
raw surfaces uniting readily when the
conditions are favorable.
1t is said that more than 1,500 CRAFTS
were made, nearly all of which took
nicely. There Is considerable surface
yet 70 be covered with new skin and
Mrs. Hentzi will be under treatment
for several more weeks.
Those who submitted to the giving of
CRAFTS say that there was little pain
connected with the operation and many
returned several times. .-
Had not this process been resorted to
Mrs. Hentzi would have died shortly
after she received the injuries, but It
is now quite certain that she will re-
cover. Though she suffered terribly
after the accident, under the treatment
her general health has improved and It
Will only be few weeks until she can
return to her home.
1t will be necessary. however, to
transplant several hundred more gratis,
II is said, before the wounds will prop
erly heal.
This is perhaps the most extensive
skin grating ever attempted, and 1t is
question If ever larger surface was
covered by transplanted cuticle. Care
has to be exercised to take skin from
only those who are in healthful con-
dition.

John Bull Says There Must Be

guam Canal. # I

london, Dec. Ex-senator Lodge is
credited with having expressed the
opinion that the British government
will,aecepty the amendment, ef.the canal
treaty-and;. ;.allow the United-States to
fortify the ends of the Nicaragua water
way. The grounds on which he bases
that opinion are not explained. The
foreign office has not committed itself
on the subject, and cannot be expected
to do so until the question is brought
forward In a diplomatic way.
All the differences of the case are
against the additional concessions
which Senator Lodge considers neces-
sary. Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Arthur Bal
FOUR Mr.. Chamberlain and other mem-
bers of the ministry are known IN
diplomatic circles to have expressed
themselves without equivocation. They
have said that England would not con-
sent to the fortifcation of the entrances
r to the canal. Only one English journal
has intimated that 1t would be a matter
of indifference to England whether the
entrances were fortified or not. This
is the Spectator, a journal exceptionally
favorable to America on all interna-
tional questions.
Senator Lodge has regarded, appar-
entity, the Spectator as an organ of di-
plomatic opinion, whereas 1t represents
English optimism and ideallsm. tand Is
not In cf6se touch with the foreign Office.
1t is safe to infer that Secretary Hay,
