JUST AN IDEA-If Mrs. Brown
comes to the establishments Of MIR
Smith and buys a quarters worth Of
goods for twenty cents, she makes :
saving Of five cents, probably she has
other purchases on which there are
savings, so that in the spending Of two
or three dollars she will have saved
~forty-five Oh fifty cents. If she paid the
full amount Of these goods. and had
the same credited On a little pass book
or punched on a card. and then on thai
amount she drew interest. the some as
the Building and Loan Company, she
would fully appreciate the advantage OF
dealing with that firm. If this mer-
chant continued to give values through
the year on each of which there was a
saving it would be natural to suppose
that in the course Of a year some Of
the patrons of that store would save
many dollars and If this was credited
on a book and interest paid at the first
Of January of each year the same as
the Building and Loan Company, there
would certainly be a Juror yer the
doings Of the establishment, especially
at the time when the interest was
credited to the customers.-Advertis-

THE SNAKE CAME TO.

James "Cannonball" Morris, a
hypnotist subject residing at
Wheeling, W. Va, had an interest
ing experience few days ago. He
was hypnotized, with five-foot
black snake, and buried with it,
to be dug up later at a
butchers picnic. About daylight
the guard was reused by muffled
cries of help coming up from the
earth, and through the air pipe
Morris told him the snake had
come from under control and was
getting entirely too friendly
Morris was released in a few
minutes. He was black in the
face. The friendly serpent was
thrice wrapped about his neck.

a long hunt one of the parties
came upon a few torn shreds
Of clothing, Hochstock's gold
watch, $50 in bills and seven
dead wolves. The clearing in
which the remains were found
showed traces of a terrible struggle,
and there can be no doubt but
that the unfortunate man strug-
gled fiercely for his life. Woods
men are unable to account for the
attack, as wolves are not usually
vicious at this season of the year.

The The 1mmieration A bill to govern
and restrict i'm
migration was introduced by the
Senator from Minnesota at the
mock congress of the Chautauqua
circle Sunday. In bringing the
matter before the house, the
senator spoke, in part, as follows:
"Gentlemen, I introduce to your
notice today matter that requires
careful thought and study, to wit
an immigration bill. If we are to
preserve this union of states, this
noble country of ours, we must
take up the subject at once and
handle it without gloves. Other
wise there can be nothing before
us but chaos and destruction.
Look about you, what do you see
on all sides? Wherever you cast
your eyes the loathed and corrupt

heaven from his saffron cuticle.
He gets here for $50, Hanna coin,
or 500 Bryan. Twill even include
the unsexed, degraded Porto Rican
and the Filipino who comes up
for trial when the court sees fit.
Can we bear this without remon-
STRANGE? Get off my foot"
"You must confine yourself to
facts, SIR said the chair severely.
discussion on this bill must
necessarily be limited to the status
Of the missionary in Afghanistan.
Religion is disbarred." The Senator
from Nevada rose to a point of
order.
Il WISH" said he, "to describe
to this honorable body a trained
pig I had the pleasure and gratifi-
cation of knowing while at the
worlds fair at Chicago some years
ago. It was while I was attending
the congress of religions
"You understand, sir" said the
chair, "that no personalities are
allowed. Ny mother-in-law at
tended that convention"
The gentleman from Nevada
hastily begged the chairs pardon,
and said he would not discuss
family matters for anything. He
resumed his seat. The gentleman
from South Carolina gave notice
that he would address the senate
on the subject at the next meeting,
and the matter was laid aside for
the time being. It is probable
that the bill will meet consider

THE EVOLUTION OF
CHRISTIANITY.

Hall delivered an address before
the Y. M. G. A. convention sup
porting the Darwinian theory of
the origin of man. He said, in
part, that it is possible for a stu
dent of evolution to be greater
Christian; that the Christian
evolutionist's idea of God is
not antagonistic to Christianity
When said he, 1--WE say that
mans probable origin was from an,
ape-like progenitor, it should not
come as shock to anyone who
has kept in touch with the trend
of modern thought. The pro-
genitors of man were probably
not very unlike the anthropoid
apes of Asia and Africa. It is not
believed by biologists that the
human race descended from the
anthropoid ape as we know him,
but that primeval man and the
anthropoid ape had a common
progenitor, now extinct. The pro-
genitors of the human race prob
ably lived in the forests and had
habits not very unlike those of
the chimpanzee."
When a Christian man can de-
liver a discourse of that character
before Christian audience, it is
proof positive that Christianity
itself is in progress of evolution
Now let us look back about forty
years or so.
In 1859 Charles Darwin pub
lished his "Origin of Species. "
It was bitterly assailed by all &C..
clesiastics and by large number
of older scientists. But anything:
or any theory that is founded on.
truth, though it may contain er-.
rors, cannot be overwhelmed, but:
will live and grow. At that time.
the "Origin of Species created a,
great furror, and all Christians:
seemed to contend with one an,
other to see which could assail it
with invectives, ridicule and sar-,
casm the hardest. It found a few
friends in the younger scientists,
among them Huxley, Haeckel and
others, who valiantly defended it.
Mr.. Darwin showed great wisdom
and insight into human character
when he withheld the publication
of his Descent of Man. until
some years later. If he had pub
lished the two works simulta-,
neously it would have been too
much for the public to grasp at
once, and the works might have
met the fate of temporary oblivion,
as was the case with Jean La Mark,
fifty years previous, when he at,
tempted to force his premature,
theory Of evolution upon the,
world.
There is not a line in the,
"Origin of Species that could
not be read in a Sunday school
today without exciting unusuaE
comment. Yet forty years ago
the supporters Of Darwin were
abused and called atheists, ag-
nostics, infdels, etc. All this
tends to prove that Christianity
itself is broadening out. Just
think of the sermon you heard
June %, and also think of the
treatment the divine would have
received at the hands of his fell
lows forty years ago. Yet [ be-
lieve it was the best sermon I
ever heard, and I have heard good
many. If he did not actually up
hold the Darwinian theory, he,
came very close to it.
The Presbyterians are busy re-,
vising their creed; it no longer
meets with the approval Of
the members of the church.

The Chapel During the past two

includes buff and light green and
the effect is cool and inviting to

the ceiling green, while a frieze
of trailing forget-me-nots make a
very agreeable change from the
very plain appearance the room
formerly wore.

DARING ARREST BY CHICAGO POLICE.
Mrs. Mary O'Brien of Chicago
was charged last week with killing
all her sisters chickens, and her
sister swore out a warrant for her
arrest. When the police arrived,
Mrs. O'Brien stood before her
house armed with a Ratchet and
defied arrest. The strong arm of
the law was paralized. but only
for a moment. The able and
efficient officers retreated to a
neighboring yard and levied on
a clothesline, and then returned
to the charge. The situation was
unchanged; Mrs. O'Brien still
carried the Ratchet. Several of
the officers surrounded the lady
while another stealthily climbed
onto the roof of a nearby shed
with the rope. A demonstration
was made by the attacking party,
and when Mrs. O'Brien fourished
the Ratchet, the lasso was thrown
over her head and the arrest was
accomplished.

that he was very heavily interested

CZOLGOSZ' BRAIN NORMAL.
Result Of the Autopsy Held on the
Remains

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 30.-Almost the
entire attention of the physicians as
signed to hold the autopsy was direct
ed towards discovering, if possible.
whether the assassin was in any way
mentally irresponsible. The autopsy
was conducted by DR.. Carlos F. Nc
Donald, E. A. Spitzka, and Prison Phy-
sician Germ. The top of the head
was sawed off through the thickest
part of the skull. which was found to-
be Of normal thickness, and it was the
unanimous agreement Of the micro
scopal examination that the brain was
normal. or slightly above normal. This
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the physicians that in no way was
Czolgosz' mental condition, except as
it might have been perverted, respon-
sible for the crime.
After the autopsy the body was
placed in a black stained pine coffin,
every portion Of the anatomy being re-
placed under the supervision Of DR..
Germ and Warden Mead. Shortly
afterwards it. was. taken to the prison

delay in the proceedings was not

ceive S. 5000 in cash and for this con-
sideration agreed not to appear and
make any defense in a divorce suit
that was to have been started by Mr..
Spade. In the winter OF 1900 Mrs.
Spade went to California for the win
ter and some time in February Mr..
Spade went to Stevens Point Wis.
While there he became very much
enamoured of Mrs. Lamb, an attrac-
tive young widow, and it is currently
believed that they were engaged to be
married, and the ceremony was to
have taken place as soon as the di-
vorce was secured by Mr.. Spade.
While at Stevens Point, however,
Spake was taken seriously i'll with
pneumonia and died after very short
illness. When he was first taken ill
he was removed to the home of Mrs.
Lamb, where he died.
Now comes the interesting part OF
the story. Before Spade died he trans
ferred certificates of deposit amount
ing to about $4,000 to Mrs. Lamb, to
whom he also gave $500 in cash and
several very valuable diamonds. AZ
ter his death w. L. T GOOdisOn OF
this city was appointed temporary ad-
ministrator of the estate, but in the
following June Mrs. Spade returned
from California and at hearing be-
fore the court in this city she was ap.
pointed administraix of the estate and
has served in that capacity ever since.
She has since brought suit to re-
cover the money and securities that
were secured by Mrs. Lamb.
