The Beyond.

Who brought life and Immortality 20
hght.-I. Timothy no.
had a serious conversation the other
day with a scientific man, a surgeon,
and he made one statement which is
SO remarkable that / would like to
speak of 1t at some length Q
He had, of course, seen many men In
their last earthly moments, and he de-
clared that what he called philosophy,
which includes doubt or denial of
continued existence. would enable one
to die as comfortably and serenely as
religion. At least that was his expert
ence and observation.
Now ii seems to me that this state
ment contradicts the whole logic of the
universe. If it is true, then l have all
my life misunderstood my own human
nature and that of everybody I know.
/ can easily believe that under GER
tain circumstances a man may welcome
an eternal sleep as preferable to the
life which has furnished him with moth
ing but disappointment, failure and
suffering. Such a man, however, is in
an abnormal state of mind, and is not
q fair representative of his fellows.
can also conceive of one who is utterly
reckless and who lacks q full apprecia-
ton of the value of the soul meeting
death with a grim kind of courage,
without any hope of waking up after
he falls asleep. He also would be an
exception to the general rule.
But that the average man, living an
average life, is willing to surrender
himself to utter obliteration, and does
II cheerfully and without a pang is
to me quite beyond credibility. I am
not myself made in any such mould,
and there is no reason to suppose that
I am in this respect different from
others. That the thought of annihila-
ton can exert a soothing influence on
dying bed looks like contradiction of
terms, and that the religion which fills
US with hope is no better than the So
called philosophy which denies all hope
is so wholly unthinkable that 1 open
my eyes in wonder when the assertion
Is made.
1t will be easily granted, even by
atheism, that IL there were another
life the certainty of 1t would give us
good cheer in the hour of our depart
ure. 1 am sure, therefore, that a man
who has faith in Immortality, other
things being equal, can meet his fate
more calmly. can say farewell less re-
gretfully, than he who says goodnight
with the feeling that the night is to
last forever.
The last thought Is copper, the first
is golden, and If it be true that men
are just as satisfied with copper as
with gold, then 1 have read the world
all wrong.
Stand by grave. Life is only a pro-
logue and has ended. The love which
you have given has snapped like an
overstrained rope No hope, nothing
but darkness. Is it wen with you, my
brother? Are you resigned? Can you
be of good cheer? The last note of life's
music has been heard, and the soul that
uttered II has died with the body. That
Is one picture.
Listen once more. Love never dies.
The dear one is in a better land and
awaits your coming. Hearts need not
break at separation, because the hope
OF reunion is ever present. Heaven is
close at hand, and there will be other

OF the Theosophists. following the conven-
tion in Chicago in 1898. two organizations
formed from that body have claimed the
money.
Thomas Hay, as executor of the will. had
suit brought in England TO ascertain to
whom the money should be paid and as a
result of that suit an order was published
in newspaper here yesterday, requiring
all claimants to prove their claims by
April 80, before Justice Kel1ewich at the
Royal Courts of Justice, the Strand, Lon
don.
Mrs. Catharine Tingley. who has a socie-
~ of Theosophists incorporated In West
Virginia. contends that the money should
go TO that society, as Il was through her
influence that the testatrix became inter-
ested in the work of the Theosophists of
this country. When the Baroness was over
here ii is said Mrs. Tingley was her hos
tess and induced her TO look into their
work. The older organization urges that
the testatriK had in view the society she
saw and that the bequest should not follow

fantry, by court martial at Manila. would
be reduced and that Captain Walsh would
remain in the service.

went ashore and became so intoxicated as
TO be placed under arrest. He first re-
signed from the Army. but later withdrew

The reduction of the sentence will be
gratifying to Captain Walsh's many friends
in Washington. He is one of the best
known military men who ever left the city.

nected with the District National Guard

TO that time, was member of the Emmett
Guard. which was conducted as an indie
pendent Irish-American military organiza-
tion. He rose rapidly in the ranks, and

Police Unable to Establish she Iden-

Efforts are being made by the police TO

HOUSE OWNER OR TENANT.
A Feature of the Census That Inter
ests CoIored People.

Statistics concerning ownership or ten
ancy Of homes are to be collected by the
Census Bureau. and are being eagerly
awaited by many persons who rea ize the
importance Of these figures as a means of
showing The real prosperity of the c0Iored
people.
Reports received from recent confer
enCes and conventions in the South indi-
cate encouraging progress of the race in
industrial knowledge, and in the number
engaged in professional pursuits. Such re-
ported gains can best be proved beyond
dispute by census facts bearing on the
ownership OF homes among the colored
people These statistics will be made up
entirely from the replies to the questions
OF the census enumerators. No matter
what the dwelling is, whether a humble
cabin or a fine residence. if it is the abid-
ing place of family, its ownership will
be taken and recorded by the census.
Whether the occupant is in debt for his
house or his land, or has bought on a con-
tract. he is an owner. Every house
holder is either an owner" or a tenant"
II is believed that one of the most graft
flying facts to be developed by the census
Will be the greatly increased number OF
the colored race who have succeeded in
becoming owners Of their homes.
