INTELLECTUAL CRIME
Result OF Goddess Schools, Suggested By
Noted Divine.

The national conference of repre-
SentatiyeS of Roman Catholic colleges
concluded its sessions at Powers thea
ter, Chicago, the feature of the final
session being a striking address by
Bishop Conaty, rector of the Catholic
university, Washington, ID G. As the
official head of the Roman Catholic
educational system in the United
States, DR.. COnaty was given eager
attention. He said, in part: "Fifty
years ago it was declared that general
education would remedy all existing
evils and lessen, if not abolish, crime.
In the world of science it was said
that science fully developed would be
the panacea for all sufferings. If we
examine results we will find neither
promise fulfilled.
intellectual crime-if such term
may be uSed-has certainly increased.
Refinement in crime is IN evidence on
all sides. Where is the fault? l feel
satisfied that it must be placed to the
credit of a One-sided education; the
evil is in the divorce of education
from positive religion Withdraw re-
ligion with its preceptS as an essential
factor in education and you have as
result mental refinement without
balancing power of will and of heart
properly instructed. Religion in many
systems of education has become
sort of elective study: it is optional
it forms no part Of prescribed
course. As result the youthful mind
comes to the conclusion that religion
is not SO important.
''If religion enters at all into such
systems of instruction, it is largely as
Sunday garment, worn semi-occa-
sionally and necessary only at certain
moments of life. No man who values

which has minimlzed religion as a

MORTUARY
Mrs. D. A. Wheaton.

Mrs. d. A. Wheaton died at her
home on North Plumb street We'd
nesday night July 16, 1902, aged 3s
years.
She came to Plymouth several
months ago, but nobody here knew
much about her. 1t is said that her
husband travels for wholesale liquor
house, but had not lived with her
since she came to Plymouth.
She had a severe attack of neural
gia of the heart about ten days ago
from which she partially recovered, but
a recurrence Of the attack Wednesday
night caused her death in a few min
uteS. Undertaken Leonard took
charge of the remaipS, by advice of
DR.. Aspinall, and lady friend of
Mrs. Wheaton was called here from
Laporte. From her it was learned
that Mrs. Wheaton had relatives at
Elgin, Illinois and Conneaut, Ohio.
Mr.. Leonard telegraphed them. but
the husband and relatives refused to
claim the body, and Judge Capron ap-
pointed DR.. ASpinall administrator of
the property of the deceased. The body
was taken back to her late home,
where funeral services were held this
afternoon, conducted by Rev. o. S.
Thornberry, and the remains inferred
in Oak Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Wheaton always seemed to be a
woman of some means and lived COM
fortably.

The Bible n the Schools.

Should the Bible be used in the
schools? Is a constantly recurring
question. And it ought to be as
easily answered as the question of
using Ridpath's history or Longfel-
lows poems or Ben Franklin S maxims
in the schools. Ought history and
literature, and morals be taught in
the schools? No one will deny them
a place in the common schools curri-
culum. The Bible is a StorehouSe for
any of these subjects. The history of
the Hebrew race is just as important
to the student as the history of the
Greeks or the Romans. And grant
that the Bible stories of the Hebrews
are highly colored, they are no more
so than the Greek and Roman stories
of their heroes. No one can Intelli-
gently and Understandings read the
literature of the past and present who
has not a general knowledge Of the
Bible, than he can if he has not some
knowledge of Greek and Roman
mythology. AND whether one be-
lieves or denies the divine authority
of the Bible, in no literature or lam
guage can there be found as reason
able, consistent and pure system of
morals as is laid down in what a great
majority of the enlightened people of
the world believe is Gods word. 1t
is not what the Bible contains or does
not contain that bars it from the
schools. Neither is it disbelief in
its divine authority which prevents its
use-infidelity does not keep it out:
1t is its own defenders who make i'm
possible its common use in the public
schools. Sectarianism, with its many
sided Interpretation of the meaning
of the word, has done and is doing
more to keep the Bible out of the
schools than all the diSbelieverS and
infidels have done or can Warren

A Giant Elm.

Sunday evening party driving to
the night service at the Roberts
school house passed an old elm tree
that attracted attention from its
great size. The tree stands by the
roadside, near the homestead of Mrs.
Mary Gibson, three miles east, and
ranks in age with the oldest inhabit-
ants of that neighborhood. 1t is
about eight feet in circumference and
it's great spreading branches, thickly
set, make a most ample and delight
full shade. 1t has outllved many peo-
pie there. Boys and girls who grew
up with it have passed on and beyond,
but still the tree grows on. Stephen
Staley, who came into that neighbor-
hood in 1S43, says the tree was then a
mere sapiing, about as large as his
arm. 1t has seen the forest all about
it laid low, and now, over landscape
of sunny grain-feldS, it waves and
Sways and blows and grows.
The "woodman" has kindly "spared
that tree, +" and it stands, mighty
monument of what Mother Nature
can do when she is left undiSturbed at
her work.
Mrs. Gibson could doubtless get
any price for that old monarch of
the Forest" provided she could "de-
liver the goods.
The party stopped to inquire after
Mrs. Gibson, and found her recover
ing from the injuries received two
weeks ago caused by the runaway of
her horse, which was frightened by
an automobile She had the same
horse hitched at her door and drove it
to the meeting. N.

Disaster Predicted.

A clairvoyant who made good
guess on disaster on the Grand
Trunk railroad a few years ago and
who also foresaw (?) the burning OF
the Battle Creek sanitarium, is trying
to create a sensation by predicting
that the city of Battle Creek, Mich,
will be destroyed and that not to ex-
coed forty people will escape. Some
residents of the pure food town are
alarmed and will get away from there,
but most regard it as joke.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Officers of the French Bark Max Tell
of the Awful Collision.

OIHCSFS OF Ine french Bark Max Tell
of the Awful Collision.
San Francisco, Jan.S.-The French
bark Max, Captain Beno, which was
in collision and sank the steamer
Walla Walla, causing the loss of
about 40 lives and which was towel
to this port last night, was badly dam
aged by the accident.
Her jibboom, made of hollow steel,
was broken and twisted and the tip of
it trailed in the water on the port
side of the vessel and at about right
angle with the line of the hull. Her
stem was twisted and great gaping
holes had been torn in her bow. There
was one almost at the water line and
another few feet above Only her
watertight compartments kept her
from sinking.
The French vessel left Glasgow I2J
days ago, bound for this port. She
was in ballast and consigned to FREQ.
erick Henry. Her captain had LITTLE
to say regarding the disaster, except
that his vessel was closely following
the rules of the road when the
steamer came under the bows of his
bark. He declared that the lights of
the Max were properly burning and
displayed, and that the men of his
crew saw the steamer for a long time
before the collision. He said:
I'VE could think of no reason why
the men on the steamer did not see
us, and as the vessels approached we
became anxious. Then it was too
late. The steamer had tried to cross
our bows, but had failed. Just before
the crash came the steamer swung
slightly around, as though an effort
was being made to pass our stem, but
the change in her course had been
too late.
The bark struck the steamer al
most amidship on the port side. For
moment they hung together and
then drifted apart Our vessel was
so badly damaged that we thought
SAAO
stances we had all we could do to
take care of ourselves. By daylight
we had beaten well out toward sea
and were safe from the breakers, but
our vessel was to a great measure IN
ION Saturday morning we accepted
tow from the steam schooner Acme,
which later was aided by the cutter
McCulloch."
The captain added that he thought
the lookout on the Walla Walla was
intoxicated, but this charge is en-
phatically denied by Captain Hall of
that vessel, who says there were three
men on watch at that time. Second
Officer lie Chavalier of the Max told
substantially the same story as the
captain.

Pasturing Winter Wheat.

In the spring of 1899 the Oregon ex
pertinent station in an endeavor to as
certain the value of winter wheat for
pasture as well as to note the effects
of the pasturing upon the yield selected
Il uniform plat of two and half acres
Of wheat, which was divided into two
equal parts by means of hurdles. Upon
one part were turned eleven matured
sheep, nine lambs and three calves.
These were kept there without any
other feed for two weeks, until the
wheat was pastured down very closely.
During their stay on the wheat the ag-
gregate gain in live weight was 200
pounds, with a commercial value of So.
The lot not pastured yielded only one
bushel more wheat than the pastured
lot. Thus it will be seen that in west
ern Oregon winter wheat can be turn
ed to good account as a spring sheep
pasture. Prime muttons are frequently
taken directly from the wheatfield to
the shambles without grain feeding. A
supplementary daily grain ration of
half a pound. however, would be fol-
lowed with better general results.
