Thoy have discussed since last fall the
plays which they saw at the theatres.
the ways Of the city people that
differed from theirs, the restaurants
where they dined and the thousand and
n sights that are pleasing TO visitors.
But only a few Of the excursionists
are from the farms. Most OF them
are substantial citizens Of the small
towns and villages, lawyers, merchants,
physicians and bankers who with native
thrift make their trips to the city coinci-
dent with the cheap excursion. They
p~atronize the good hotels. buy their
clothes here and find more in a day to
anus them than the New Yorker could
find in a week. They go to the theatres
every night and occasionally they seek
out the better known self advertised
Bohemian resorts where a table d'hote
dinner with wine furnishes local color for
their active imaginations. Their senses
are not jaded and their observation is
keen. We are glad to welcome their
annual inspection and we beg leave TO
assure them that II we appear as well
to their eyes as they do to ours we will
be content

children. The abnormal death-rate has
proved her fears to be well founded.
The correspondent OF the London
Standard, writing from Pretoria or
July 10, 1901, and speaking for the
Transvaal camps, gave the death-rate
among children "a 33i.S per thou
sand, while for the tltal Of adults and
children II WIS 1908 Ter III jusand.
During the first fortnight of July
the rate among children rose to
$3.50 per Thousand. The death-rate
for the Orange River camps for
June was given by the London Times
as follows: kroonstad, 5000; KIM
berly, 1868; Springfontein. 1870;
Bloemfontein, 3s3. SO; Lord K%ITCHENER
attributed the extraordinary death
rate observcd among the children to
an epidemic Of measles. Miss
HoBHoUsE's comment Is that measles
In itself does not kill children In swarms:
what kills them is the conditions under
which they struggle with the disease,
particularly in the convalescent stage.
She adds that measles was by no means
the sole cause chargeable with the high
mortality, Miss HoBHoUsB did her
best TO alleviate the shameful state Of
things in the concentration camps.
Hor reward has been arrest and de-
portation. 1t is high time that the
British Liberals should hold up to de-
testation this feature Of the Salisbury
Chamberlain programme.

WILL FIGHT AGNosTICISx.
Plan 70 Increase Religious influences
Among College students.

LINCOLN, Neh., Nov. i5.-Tho State Uni-
versity OF Nebraska II 10 be the scene OF an
experiment In fighting agnosticism and
atheism. The promoters Of the project
say that modern college life. with Its In
tense materialism and devotion to scientific
pursuits, has gradually eliminated re-
Iigion from the thoughts Of the student.
They say that whereas at Harvard and
Yale one student In thirteen adopts the
ministry a. a profession. I'm the State uni
versiti~A tho average Is only one In twenty
nine, and that there il growing Caliousrcos
To religious influences.
Young Mems and Young women's Chris
tlan associations and Bible classes have
been tried to offset this tendency. but have
been found 10 pa comparatively ineffective.
Al the State meeting of the CONGREGATIONAL
Council the new plan was broached 10y the
Rev. w. II. Nanss. a Yale graduate, now
pastor Of the First Congregational Church
Of Lincoln.
In pursuance OF instructions from the
council Mr.. Manss will propose 20 the Board
OF Regents OF the Nebraska University 10
establish a new chair. that Of ancient and
modern church history and Biblical inter
probation, the course 20 be elective and
credits for work therein 20 be granted on
the college course. The Congregational
Church will supply this chair free OF eI-
penso TO the State.
II the plan succeeds II is proposed to
raise an endowment fun In the churches
for the purpose Of building dormitories
for the students. In Lincoln. as az
other State universities. students live in
furnished rooms and fraternity houses
and the absenoe Of home and religious
influence, It is argued by the promoters OF
the plan, has much TO do with the straying
OF the student mind from religion.
In order TO avoid denominationl strife
II Is proposed TO AVE dormitorios managed
by different denominations.
h new movement has already aroused
some opposition from the college professors
who assert that the soheme II imprscticable.
They insist that the trouble IL not that
natorialisn and agnostiosm are taught In
the State universities or ara In reality
proximats results of university training,
but that 90 education becomes dlfiused
sectarianism and dogma must decline.

Salvation and Immortality.

We learn from the Portland Ore0onta~
that In that Pacific Coast town q con-
trovery has arisen because Of the NOM
nation by a Methodist preacher Of a
Universalist minister for membership
In the Ministerial Association Of Portland,
Tho Methodist proposer takes the
ground that a the association is general
In character and has nothing to do with
specific religious doctrines. any minister,
Jewish rabbi or Roman Catholic priest,
Ii properly eligible to membership In
IL. He even says that he would freely
vote to admit a Mormon" and he ex-
plains that already it, members Of dif-
ferent Churches are in radical disagree
ment as to certain doctrines, Baptists,
Methodists and Presbyterians.
On the other side it 10 urged that a.
the association consists Of ministers
Of the Evangelical " school, . Universal
ist, who docs not believe la regenera-
ton nor In the need Of It for the saliva
ton OF the world" cannot be included
In It consistently.
Universalism, In the early dsyv Of
this country, vas not regarded by many
who accepted Its theory "a opposed TO
"Evangelicalism." II made some head
way, for example, among the Puritan
Congregationalists Of New England and
among the Baptists Of New jersey,
and two prominent Episcopal clergy
men, In Connecticut and In South Caro-
lima, were pronounced advocates Of II.
In more recent years, however, 1t has 30
closely Appropriated to unitarianism
In its doctrine and spirit that the organic
union Of the two denominations is advo-
Gated. A a Unitarian has said. the
only difference between them Is that the
U~niversalists believe that Con Is too
good TO damn anybody and the Unfair
ian. that they are too good to'be damned.
Accordingly. there came q time when
tho animosity between the "Evangel-
ical" Churches and the Univeisaists
was bitter.
Now, however. all such controversy
has ceased, for the Evangelical y
Churches have given up preaching the
doctrine Of hell almost wholly. Their
ministers put " hslue az VI ~
able suggestion w where they have
not given IL up altogether.
Meantime almost daily we are receiv-
ing letters discussing the question
whether any body is to be saved. or
whether there is any immortality at
all. When this correspondence seems
to have closed il suddenly reviveS and
flames UP with new intensity OF con-
troversy. A great number of people
must lie very deeply Interested in the
question, unanswerable by human
science, and therefore beyond the
range Of profitable scientific discussion,
whether there Is life after death or death

The Episcopal Picnic.

The 1t. Thomas Sunday school and
parish picnic at Pretty lake July IS
was very happy affair from start to
finish, that is from 9 q. N. to p. m.
The hacks were filled to the utmost
corners by old and young intermingled
and others went with private carriages.
The road had been sprinkled only half
the distance by the recent showers, the
lake region having no rain since July ,.
The scenery enrOute is unusually
charming, varying In views with each
half mile.
The Soice and Vinsll families, with
open cottages and grounds, gave the
picnickers a most hospitable reception,
adding to the freedom of the grounds
the comfort of bountful personal min
istrstlons. Pots of coffee and pitchers
of tea, lemons, ice, sugar and edibles
afforded luxurious eating and drinking
without much cessation. Bathing,
boating, swimming, wading, fishing and
turtIing yielded juvenile enjoyment be
yond words to tell. The Iiogarth and
SOice grounds, adjoining, became the
center of assembling, Teasing and Wis
lting.
lt would require another whole day
to express grateful appreciation and to
return thanks to those who helped with
cash and kind words to make the una
terial part of the outing success. The
compensstions of such piece of recre-
alton are in many ways evident and a
wholesome desire is excited to go again
some time.

CORN CROP MOT DAMAGED.

Secretary of state Agricultural Says
Drought Not Yet Serious.
The secretary of the state agricultur-
al department does not yet regard the
corn crop as seriously damaged notwith-
standing the press reports from over
the state. He says on July ID the con-
dition of the corn crop was more prom
Using than on the same date last year.
He is inclined to think that the crop
conditions in the west are exaggerated
in the press reports, because through
out the area of the great corn belt the
extent of the drought has not been
great enough to seriously affect that
crop, and bot weather is not damaging
to corn at this season. In fact, the
high temperature is one of the re-
quisites of corn development. The hot
winds reported in various parts of the
west were regarded with more sppre-
hension at the agricultural department,
but the reports indicate that these
we're not general throughout the corn
belt or long continued. He believes
there will be plenty OF corn in Indiena
and the western states.

walk for the more serviceable one
which wears better than either wood or
stone. Marshall county, we are told in
recent article In q scientific magazine,
is soon to become the worlds center for
the manufacture of Portland cement
Large beds of mari, an important con
stituent of the cement, have been dis
covered near Maxinkuckee, and the
neighborhood of Lapaz furnishes the
peculiar dove-colOred clay, which is an
other essential. England and some of
the eastern states have long produced
Portland cement, but they are put to
the expense of extracting the mari els
ment from limestone, and the clay, too
is difficult 20 get. The clay for the
largest cement factory in the world is
at present being shipped from the re-
giOn of LapaZ.
