argue against him in joint debate. and the rest
of the clergy trembled lest they. too. would soon
be swept away with the ever rising tide Of Bah
ism.
The death of the Bah was not without some
miraculous features. 4 Shakaki regiment was
ordered TO shoot him he hung suspended by
ropes from a cross The whole volley missed
him, and two bullets cut the cords and set him
free. He was again hung up and a Christian
regiment fired a vOlley az him without hitting
him. a third voley. however, brought death,
three bullets pierced his body.
After Babs death his followers were long rent
by factonal fight between two rival claimants
to his mantle. Finally Beha UIlah (the Glory
of Cod became ascendant and succeeded in
making most of the Babists believe that he was
God himself. and that the Bah as his precursor.
was only sort of John the Baptist Beha
greatly broadened the new religion. and added
SO many new doctrines that the simple teachings
of the Bah came to be regarded rudimentary.
In consequence the name of the religion was
changed from Babism TO Eehaism, or Beha-
Babism. The Bah sought to reform Mahon-
etanisn. Beha tried to destroy it entirely and
substitute a new belief in its place For this
reason the Mosem clergy hate Beha- Babsm
more now than they despised the simple Babsm
2 half century ago. The mobs who now and then
start ii Babist massacre are always egged on
by the priests, who tell them that every Babist
they kill means a blessing from Allah. ON the
death Of Beha in 1892 his three sons fought
among themselves for the prtmacy. and al the
present time Abbas. the eldest son. is regarded
by the vast majority of Bablsts as the rightful
successor. Abbas asserts that he too is divinely
inspired. and though his pretensions are accepted
with remarkable equanimity by his Persian fol-
lowers. they have turned the American Babists
into two hostile camps. one faction headed by
DIR. Kheiralla, argues that Abbas is only a
teacher, while others solemnly assert that he is
the true Christ and must he worshipped with
divine homage.

reign Of Leo XIII was invariably given from the
external balcony of st. Peters TO the faithful

The tiara, like the cross sur1nounted crozier
above described, is an attribute which belongs
to the Pope exclusively. 1t is. like so many
other symbols of religion and of royalty, of
Oriental origin. for Herodotus describes the
crown Of the rulers of Persia as a tiara.
Nicholas I. who was the first Pope to be
crowned, and who occupied the chair of St
Peter from a. D. $50 to $50. was crowned with
an ordinary episcopal mitre surrounded by a
single crown. In 1890 Pope Boniface VII added
a second crown to the mitre in order to indicate
his sovereignty over things temporal as we'll
spiritual This gave much offence to the
Emperor of Germany and to the rulers of France
and England, and it was partly in consequence
of this that Pope Clement V added the third
crown to indicate the spiritual supremacy Of
the Papacy over the then three known quarters

acre park as to leave room for future growth.
1t is impossible to obtain exact figures as to
the amount Mr.. Smith will put into his latest
benefaction. He has said, II will give my whole
fortune to this cause" No one knows how
much he is worth. A conservative estimate
places his wealth at S1000.000. Others who
are familiar with land values and his many
paying investments say he is worth to-day not
less than $1500000. Mr.. Smith will not talk
about his fortune He will erect the college
building at once. leaving the rest of the money
to a board of trustees as a permanent endow-
ment These trustees will be selected from his
many friends and business associates in Geneva
and neighboring towns
It is only early in the morning or at supper
time that Mr.. Smith be found at his beau
tiful home in Castle-st He has several farms
within few miles of Geneva, most of which
he raises nursery stock, and he spends his days
usually directing his labcrers. Not single de-
tail Of the work has he given into other hands
He refuses TO feel his eighty-fve years. and in
deed seems stronger than the ancient one horse
shay in which he drives from farm TO farm.
A Tribune reporter found him just after sup
per. Although he had been in the fields since
o'clock that morning, he was starting out
again to look at some nursery stock in lot
close by. His tall, slightly bent figure straight
ened up when he Learned that the reporter
wanted 10 talk about the college for women
His cadaverous face hardened slightly and his
keen eyes looked the visitor through and
through. He is little suspicious about talking
to strangers of the college scheme for he has
many heirs and he fears they may attempt to
block his plan He stroked the fringe Of white
beard that runs about his face and settled his
battered straw hat further back on his head
which is white but we'll covered with hair.
Then of sudden after his suspicion was
satisfied, he spoke up, clearly and in strong
voice;
Yes. am going TO start college for women
but didn't want people to know about il until
everything was ready. So long as an intima :
ton of my plan has got out, though, you might
as well have all the details, and have them
right. have had the thing in mind for twenty
years, but did nothing until five years age, when

for "the city by the lake. with the fortune
saved by years of careful business and intense
personal economy they fully believed. But the
imagination of none was wild enough to suspect
that whom they had always believed
woman hater would give life and endowment to
an institution for the higher education of these
very women.
The newest college in this land of colleges and
universities will be called the William Smith
College for Women. The aged nurseryman
knows that there is already Smith College for
women at Northampton, Mass. founded many
years ago by Miss Sophia Smith, but he says
the older institution has monopoly on the
name. He says if the other Smith wants TO be
distinctive they can call it Sophia Smith College
He does not believe that his fine institution will
ever be known as the Bill Smith College Be
sides, he believes that the teachings of his coll
lege will make 1t stand out in bright and shin
ing light even If dozen Smiths should found
colleges for women.
AS head of the college MI. Smith has
selected Dr.. Benjamin +. Austin, of Toronto
Canada. For many years he was president OF
Alma College for Young Women at St. Thomas
Ont, a Methodist institution. He embraced
Spiritualism and about TO be tried for
heresy when he resigned as head OF the college
and left the church. Although Mr.. Smith is
himself a Spiritualist Dr.. Austin has promised
not TO teach its doctrines in the William Smith
College. which is 10 be non-sectarian.
Mr.. Smith thus expresses his purpose in es-
tablishing the college:
Il have founded this college that the people
might have life and have it more abundantly.
1 trust that the spirit of love and self-sacrlfice
which animated Jesus and the other great re-
lgious teachers of the ages may be exempIified
and perpetuated in this college"
To carry out such purpose certain novelties
viii be introduced in the curriculum. There will
be department of psychical research which
viii endeavor among other things. 10 demon
strate the communion between the mortal and
spirit realms which the founder believes to exist.
There viii be a course of lectures on maternity
and extensive studies OF the development of
physical life.
Ground will be broken in the fall for the first
building of Genevas new institution. It win
be located in the beautiful park on Castle
Heights, which Mr.. Smith began 10 lay out
five years ago. The building will be in the
Romanesque style of architecture, and CON

nerves or his passions run away with his ice
cold Judgment has any business in If.
But to him who is called the opportunity is
beyond estimate. To him are given the keys
of every study, the entry to every family, the
ear Of every citizen when at ease and in his
most receptive moods-powers of approach and
of persuasion beyond those Of the Protestant
pastor the Catholic confessor. He is by no
means prophet but, reverently be it said, he
is a voice in the wilderness preparing the way.
He is by no means a priest. but his words
carry wider and farther than the priests and
he breaches the gospel of humanity. He is not
a king, but he nurtures and trains the king, and
the land is ruled by the public opir.ion he evoIes
and shapes If you value this good land the
Lord has given US; IL you would have a soul
