Mr. Vishart's theme is one which il is not
easy to discuss without prejudice In such a
matter non-partisanship is almost an impossi-
hllity To say. as one must that his treatment

amount OF praise. He is neither an assailant
nor an apologist Of monasticism. but seeks 10
understand Il as an historical phenomenon and
10 state without bias both the good and the evil
that have flowed from II.
II must be added, however. that Mr.. Wishart
has not ventured very far into the discussion Of
really difficult matters. His history Of monasti-
cism is only slightly critical. 1t is not pro-
found study Of causes and effects. on the con-
trary, il is almost exclusively a narrative, and
deals with little beyond the central and well
known facts Of the origin Of the system within
the Christian Church, and Of the beginnings,
growth and decay Of the various orders. OF the
earlier developments Of asceticism in the East
and their relation 10 Christian asoeticsm his

for his task, however, his work is OF a high

and his presentation Of the facts is accurate and
instructive He gives an excellent account Of
the various developments OF monasticism in the
East and in the West, of the Benedictines, the
reformed orders. the Mendicant Friars and the
Jesuits-the last though not a monastic order,
being properly regarded as oUtgrowth OF the
rnonastic system. The concluding chapters deal
with the ''Fau OF the Monasteries" and with the
causes. ideals and effects OF monasticsm.
DR.. Nippolds History OF the Papacy IN the

Its essential purpose is 10 rescue Catholicism

scholarship. and is a vigorous statement Of the
views which the author represents No better
account OF the origin and development OF the

MRS. NATION ASSAULTED.
Continues Her Crusade at Enterprise
and Is Set Upon by band
of Women.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 25.-A spe-
cial to the Star from Enterprise,
KAN, says: A street fight between
women, led on one side by Mrs. Carrie
Nation, the saloon wrecker, with a
following of w. C. T. U. women, and
on the other by Mrs. John Schilling,
wife of the manager of the saloon
wrecked Wednesday, who was backed
by a dozen women, who championed
the saloons, was enacted here Thurs
day.
As result, Mrs. Nation swore out
warrants against Mrs. Schilling and
her husband, and Mrs. William Bit
uer, charging them with assault; and
Mayor Hotf man swore out warrant
against Mrs. Nation, charging her
with disturbing the peace. All were
arrested and taken before Judge +. b..
| Holt.
The case was concluded promptly.
Mrs. Nation was found not guilty of
disturbing the peace, and was released.
The cases of the three women arrested
on complaint of Mrs. Nation were con-
tinued until to-day. Mrs. Nation de-
clares she will swear out additional
warrants against these women, charg-
ing them with attempt to kill. 1t is
| asserted that while the attack on Mrs.
Nation was made Thursday morning,
| there were cries of: xiii her, kill her"
The fracas was started by Mrs.
| Schiliing. At ten o'clock Thursday
morning Mrs. Nation, in company
with Mrs. Hoffman and some other
w. C. T. U. leaders, entered store
| two doors away from William Shook S
| saloon, which is still unmolested.
| Mrs. Nation, apparently to give him

saulted by crowd of women, parts

Men drawn to the scene became in

aside from encouraging the womer
on their respective sides and to fur

several reports that she would be herr

be a difficult matter for Mrs. Nation
to gain entrance to the joints.

A DARING ROBBERY.
Thieves Plumber the Revenue Office
at Peoria, Ill.

Peoria, Ill.,, Jan. 2s.-The safe in the
internal revenue Office here, the largest
district in the country, was forced by
robbers Friday night, and stamps to
the value of more than 100000 stolen.
"The loss is somewhere between $780,
600 and $35, 600 in adhesive stamps, but
cannot tell just the amount until the
stock has been invoiced," said w. j..
Steube, the cashier of the internal rev.
enue office. The exact loss was later
ascertained to be $31 ,976.45.
Some time between the closing of the
Office cary Friday evening and its
opening for business Saturday morn
ing the vault was drilled open and all
the proprietary and documentary war
revenue stamps taken. The supply was
somewhat above the average, for a
fresh invoice had been received only a
few days ago from Washington. The
robbers showed that they were experts
in the stamp business, for they did not
disturb any of the cigars, beer OF
whisky stamps, taking only such OF
the stock as was of negotiable allure
A few thousand dollars of valuable pa,
pers, but which are not negotiable
the property of the employees of the Of.
fee, were taken. The safe was closed
on instructions from Washington, and
will not be opened until the proper rep
resentative arrives.
Acting Collector w. T. Murray, who
was appointed only Friday; j. w. Nc
Ginnis, special revenue agent, who was
sent here from Chicago, the deputy
United States marshal and number
of employees of the department here are
at the office making thorough inves-
tigation. The city police department
and the marshal's office worked all day
without discovering any clew, and the
authorities are not disposed to discuss
the robbery, which is the heaviest ever
occurring in this city.
The burglars displayed the greatest
system all through thSir work There
were several route agents asleep on
the fourth floor of the building, tive
mail clerks at work on the first floor,
and a night Waterman supposed to
make the rounds of the building. In
spite of al this the thieves silently en-.
tered the corridor, went over a tran
som, and on the third attempt to open
the safe by means Of drill were sue
cessful.
There is considerable speculation as
to who will be the loser by the robbery
1t is the general opinion of those best
yersed in the revenue laws that Mr.
Daugherty. through his bondsmen
must stand the first loss, but that the
government will eventually recompense
him
