A BOMB SHELL

Falls In the Methodist Camp-prof. Pearson
= Says Biblical Tales are Poetic fancies.
The Chicago Record. Herald OF Sum
day has the following:
Professor Charles w. Pearson, of
the chair of English Literature in
Northwestern University, which is
conducted under Methodist auspices,
has thrown bomb into the ranks OF
Methodism in Evanston, the seat Of
the university, by giving out for pub
lication statement of the belief that
Biblical infallibility is . superstitious
and hurtful tradition, and that Biblical
stories Of Christ bringing the dead to
life and OF his walking on the water
and feeding the multitude with the
loaves and fishes are mere poetic
fancies, incredible and untrue.
Professor Pearson declares that the
policy of the Mcthodists 10 one of in
activity, obstruction and Jcsuitistic
silence on the views on which the
leaders and scholars of the church
have gradually come to believe, but
which are not held by the body of the
church.
He says most OF the present teach.
ing is evasive aud that most OF the
Sunday school teaching is almort
farcical and entirely inadequate.

of the United States, the fact that
England has been compelled to en-
ploy more than 100000 soldiers to
subjugate less than $4,000 men in
arms, and has neither been able to
purchase them nor kill them; these
facts are immeasurably valuable to
people everywhere who want free gov
ernment for themselves and are con-
tent that Others should enjoy it also.
So the Democratic party, whether in
power or out OF power, is serving man
kind when it stands steadfastly for
constitutional government. and in
vites that government shall be ad-
ministered according to the Jefferson
ian maxim, equal rights to all, and
special privileges to none.'"

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
THE ANARCHiS1lC INTENTIONS
OF PRIVATE RAKOWSKY.

Was Serving at Vancouver Barracks When he
Gave Utterance to Anarohistic Sentiments
Was Tried and Sentenced to Ten Years i'm.
prisonment at the Military Prison on Alca.
tras Island. California.
A special to the Oregonian from
Astoria says:
Frank Rakowski, a soldier in the
United States Army, was Saturday
degraded at Fort Candy and sentenced
to 10 years. imprisonment in the
military prison on Alcatraz island &.
California. Rakowski had threatened
to assassinate President Roosevelt.
Rakowski was member of Captain
Cloke's company stationed at Fort
Stevens. He was on detached duty at
Fort Columbia, WASH, when he
voiced the anarchistic sentiment, and
after arrest by the civil authorities,
was turned over to the military Of
ficials at Fort Candy. He was tried
before a general court martial.
A few days before Christmas,
Rakowski became intoxicated at Chi.
nook, and while in a saloon there
made the following statement:
President Mckinley got what he
deserved. My time of enlistment in
the army will soon expire and when it
does I'll see that President Roosevelt
gets the same dose that CzolgOsz gave
Mckinley"
Rakowski's sentence is dishonorable
discharge. forfeiture of all pay and
allowances and confinement in the
military prison at Alcatraz island for
. period Of 10 years.
Captain Cloke said this evening that
he knew little of Rakowski except
that he formerly resided on Milwaukee
avenue. Chicago.
"The man seemed to be a quiet
fellow" said Captain Cloke, "and
prior to the time Of his anarchistic
utterance at Chinook never gave any
trouble. He was drunk when he
threatened the life of the Presid ent."

MATCHES BUTTONS.

In. . little house just off Hester
street, says the New York Herald,
dwells an old woman who carries on q
most peculiar trade. She is Sarah, or
"Old SAL" as she is more familiarly
called, and East Side residents know
her we'll and most of them patronize
her.
On the window pane of her little
shop is sign which reads: But
tons Sold Inside. Any Button Matched
From One Cent to Nickel" Her
stock in trade is stored up in thou
sands OF buttons in little heaps-pearl,
glass, bone, jet. shell, brass, cloth, silk,
horn and every other variety Of button
made.
1t is said the old woman's business
is profitable and that she has managed
to save about IS. 600 out OF her curious
occupation.
"You see," she said to me, ait is
often the case that a woman buys
only enough buttons for dress. and
then, when she loses one, it is difficult
to get matched at . notion store.
Those who know me come along here,
and can always do it from my stock.
al have my regular customers, for
most storekeepers around here know
me and send their customers to me
when they are unable to suit them,
and they seldom 60 away without the
veIy thing they are after.
"Where do get them iromi Many
OF them come from junk shops, where
on the rags sold are buttons. All the
rag dealers know I pay a fair price for
buttons, and they save them until
they have sufficient quantity, and
then they come to me.
Another way 1 obtain them is by
visiting the dressmakers, who often
have buttons left over, and their Gus.
toners seldom ask for them. These
can buy up very cheap. Although
my little board outside says that the
highest price l charge is FIVE cents,
my better class OF customers do not
hesitate to offer me quarter, or even
30 cents, in order to make their gar
ments look neat and complete"

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE.
Many Deaths Reported and Terrible Loss
Of Property At Chip amigo. Mexico.


A telegram from the City of Mexico
dated the~17th, says telegram has
reached that city announcing that the
city of Chilpaningo, in the State of
Guerrero, had suffered severely the
previous day from an earthquake
shock, and that many people were
killed.
The shock of the earthquake was
felt in many cities and towns OF the
republic. In the City OF Mexico the
earthquake was felt at 5 1T p. NJ. The
first movement was very sharp. It
was followed by gentler osciliatory
movement, north northeast to south
southeast, the duration being IS Sec
onds. Beyond few cracks in build
ings no damage was done in Mexico
City.
A repetition OF the shock was felt
on the 18th, razing to the ground
many buildings destroyed in the
previous shake-up. School buildings
and the parish church were destroyed,
the heavy arch of the latter falling
just as the worshipers reached the
street. The children were saved by
the presence of mind OF the teachers,
who gave an order to march from the
buildings as the trembling OF the
earth began.
Gov. Mora and his Secretary escaped
from their office just as the building
fell.
At the towns of Clipa, Tixtla and
Marchitlan and Zampango del Rio,
many buildings were wrecked. and
several people were killed and injured.

THE NEEDS OF DEMOCRACY.
What william J. Bryan Said 1t Jackson Day
Banquet.

Banquet.
In an address delivered 1t Wooster,
Ohio, on the night OF the Sd inst, at 4
Jackson-day banquet, Mr.. Bryan said
o., the great exemplar:
"When he decided that anything
ought to be done, he did it, and NO
power could awe him. He did not
have in his veins single drop OF
anything-to-win' blood Continu
ing Mr.. Bryan said:
1--WE shall observe this day in vain
il we do not gather from the life OF
Jackson inspiration and encourage.
ment for the work which lies before
US. To-day the Democratic party
needs to learn from the hero Of New
Orleans the lesson of steadfastness it
needs to learn from him that not only
TO be right is more important than TO
be successful, but that to be right is
the best way 70 insure success" In
conclusion, Mr.. Bryan said:
But suppose-what no one should
assume and what no one can prove
that steadfast adherence to Democratic
principles will result in repeated de.
feat. is there any reason why we
should abandon those principles and
adopt others, or have none at all?
Those who prefer prison fare or q SER
vile subjects lot 70 the dangers Of the
battlefield may condemn the Beers
for continuing what some describe a.
. hopeless struggle for independence.
but those who can measure the
mighty influence of great deeds know
that the sturdy Dutchmen OF South
Africa have already conferred upon
the world q benefit that cannot be
measured by money. Their valor has
brought greater security to all the Re.
publics of the earth; the bodies Of
their dead have built bulwark be-
bind which the friends Of liberty will
fight for centuries. The fact that
England has expended more than

A GRAND ORDER OF THE WHY.
How the "heathen Chinee" Have Corrupted
Good Manners.
Kansas City Star.

Nohooo wy Csot.
After all, there is plenty of method
in Minister Wu's exaggerated habit OF
asking questions. Instead of fatiguing
himself with expressions OF opinion.
he asks why and puts the burden on
the other fellow. He gets entertain
ment out OF the answers which are
often manufactured for the occasion
and pleases his informant with subtle
fattery. 1t is we'll known that most
persons would much rather talk than
listen. and that nothing gratiies q
man SO much as to be regarded as a
source OF knowledge.
That the wise Oriental has quite as
much fun with the people he quizzes
so necessarily as they have with him
is made plain enough by the satisfied
twinkle in his shrewd eyes. His "sys-
tenn" is great saving on himself. and
in every way it fully sustains the high
reputation for skillful diplomacy
which the Chinese enjoy. The ques-
tions which Minister WI hurls at
everybody to whom he is introduced
forestall monontony in the conversa.
ton, and present those deadly mono
lOgues which garrulous people are
prone to perpetrate.
After being with the famous China
man for several days, one is bound to
acquire the habit Of interrogation. 1t
may be weeks before Secretary Glen
dening of the Commercial club and
Commissioner Trickett of the trans
portation bureau will be able to break
themselves of the WI habit of asking
why. They are already full-aedged
devotees of the fascinating Chinese
conversational system, which prevents
long.winded disquisitions.
The ultimate conclusion of almost
any interrogation which one man can
PROFOUND to another, pushed 70 its
final conclusion is, Il don't know"
For example, "Let's take a drink"
somebody would say. Why" Min
lister WI would ask. because it is
drink time." "Why is it drink time"
Because we need a drink" "Why
do we need a drinki" "To make us
feel better" "Why should we feel
betterf" because we are not quite
as gay as we might be-" "Why"
" Because We haven't taken q drink"
Why haven't We taken y drlnk~
" Because we didn't think Of it."
"Why didn't we think of it?" "I
don't know"
1t is quite possible that "a Grand
Order Of the Why" may be started in
Kansas City and become as popular As
the famous Buffaloes." The "Buf-
faloes" encouraged drinking, the
"Grand Order of the Why" would
tend to check the prevalence of the
treating custom.
