one gold dollar. The rate of exchange yester-
dav at the banks 81 % Mexican for one

for them to cash qUartermaster checks.
The scarcity of American gold Is attributed
nartIv To the banks and largely to Chinese
spectators who always buy American gold at

rate.
. This action Of the commission in mlking the
government rate higher than the bank rate Of
exchange has created much dsCOnteIt among
importers They are urabie to obtain sufficient
gold to pay import duties, and must, conse-
auently pay these duties in silver at the gov

DIR. ADLER on IHMORTALITY.
HE SAWS THE 45INDoo DOCTRINE COMES
NEARER HIS CONCEPTION THAN ANY
THING IN MODERN RELIGION.

DR.. Felix Adler yesterday morning at Carnegie
Hall discussed DO Men Desire Immortality be-
fore the Society for Ethical Culture. He said that.
though the arguments to whether or not men
desired immortality were inconclusive, they were
suggestive. in that they showed how men divided
into classes, some of which desired a future Ire
and some of which did not. The so-called practi-
cal men were irritated at anything that tanta-
lzinEy elusive, and a class these men wanted
to work in the harness of life up to the last mo-
rent. and deliberately excluded from their thought
whatever did lie the humdrum plane on
which they moving. Those who thought or

people grew old they were more and more dis
posed to exclude the thought. they clung more
and more desperately to this life. Ike men hanging

Imaginative and emotional people. Dr. Adler
said had their thoughts turned TO immortality by
desire to continue the relations Of this life and TO
he reunited 10 their loved ones. This motive was
comparatively modern. The doctor then continued:
