He rode the hunter Wallace. and had y
run Of twenty-four feet on macada-
mlzed road to three-railed fence OF n
height OF four feet three inches. with q
gutter on the. landing side was ten feet:
then there was precipitous fall to the
lake below OF about $50 feet. The horse
ftstopped- in q stride on landing amidst
I? the greatest excitement. The slightest
mistake on the part of the horse or RI
der would have led TO serious injury, IL
. not to certain death. Skuthorpe Is n
professional horse trainer. and probably
undertook the wonderful but fooihnrdy
feat as more or less OF an advertlse-
ment. 1t is the second time 1t has been
accomplished.

Big Strike On.

O1e Of the biggest strikes prob
ably known to the history OF our
country is now on through the
state Of Pennsylvania. the contest
being between the anthracite coal
miners and their employers.
The struggle began on the l 9TH
inst when about 10000 men laid
down their tools. and the number
has increased, according to presi-
dent Mitchel's estimate to 26,OOJ'
There are slll 600 miners on the
work So with force Of $1,000 or
more of the miners to back the conf
panies there is some reason for
each side to have hopes of winning
but neither has seen fit to give in.
The principal difference is over
the wages paid though the miners
claim there are other grievances

The robbers then marched the five
men through the back door to an

A MELANGE Of
LIVE TOPICS

Man versus God.

The Chinese minister at Washington
recently delivered an address before
the society of ethical culture "a band
of agnosticS) of New York in which he
severely arraigned christianity. He
asserted that Confucianism is the most
numerous religious sect IN China today
and if Confucius were alive now he
would be considered as an agnostic.
He rejoiced in the spread of agnosti-
cism in America and Europe and con-
sidered it an endorsement of Confucian-
ism. Defending agnosticism he said
that the theory of eternal life is a
beautiful one and he wished it is
true, but that all the learning of the
world since the days of Confucius, had
not been able to bring to its support
anything more satisfactory than a
strong probability of its truth The
minister was particularly severe in his
structures upon the admonition of
Christ to return good for evil, to turn
the other cheek when one was smitten,
saying that such course is unnatural
and not required by the principles of
ethics. He strongly Landed, however,
the golden rule, claiming that Confu-
cius taught the same thing and that
good Confucian is good Christian and
vice versa.
1t seems to me that the minister is
very inconsistent in the positions he
takes. respecting the teachings !
Christ, for he ignores the fact thatI -
two instances cited are, in fact, r9 Hi-Y
