The PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY is com
posed of students. belonging to any re-
ligion in the world or to none, who are
united by their approval OF the above
objects, by their wish to remove religi
GUS a~ntagonism and TO draw together
men of good will whatsoever their re
ligious opinions, and by their desire to
study religious truths and to share the
results OF their studies with others.
Their bond Of union Is not the profession
OF a belief, but a common
search and aspiration for Truth. They
hold hat Truth should be sought by
study, by reflection, by purity OF life, by
devotion to high ideals, and they regard
Truth as a prize to be ~striven for. not AZ
a dogma to be imposed by authority.
They consider hat belief should be the
result of individual study or tuition. and
not its a~ntecedent, and should rest on
knowledge, moi on assertion. They ex-
tend tolerence to all, even to the intoler-
ant, not as a privilege they bestow, but
MS a duty they perform, and they seek
to remove ignorance. mot to punish it,
They see every religion MS an expression

Milwaukee, Wis, July 13.-W. j.
Bryan was interviewed here to-day as
to the Cleveland movement. Mr.. Bry-
an said:
1T is a comedy as it now stands,
but tragedy If it should succeed"
Mr.. BRYAN declared that all he de-

the Democratic party of some one who
would stand by Democratic principles.
by Democratic said he, II mean
the principles enunciated at the Kansas
City convention of the Democratic
party, the last opportunity the party
had to declare the principles on which
it stands"
Asked if he believed there was any
danger of the old line of Cleveland
Democrats capturing the next Demo-
cratic convention, Mr.. Bryan said:
II do not think such a thing is a
probability. If there was such prob
ability, danger would be the right word
to use in connection with the results
ii would work to the Democratic

POWDER EXPLOSION
HURLED THREE MEN TO THEIR
DEATH.
BUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED
by THE TERRIFIC FORCE OF THE
DISCHARGE.

Accident Occurred at the Plant of
the Latin Powder Company.
Every House in the Town of Laf-
lin Was Shaken-List of the Dead
and the characterization of the
Machinery Is Supposed to Have
les MutilHted.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1S.-Three
men killed and two seriously hurt, to-
gether with three buildings destroyed,
is the result of an explosion at the
Latin powder works at Latin this aft
ernoon. The force of the explosion
shook every house in the town of Laf-
lin. The people knew what had hap
pened, and the paths leading to rhe
scene were soon lined with excited
throngs hurrying to the mill.
The dead:
Alexander Moore, Latin, As, died
from burns; Joseph Gray, Pittston, so
years old, blown to pieces; Arthur
Gray, Pittston, son of Joseph Gray, %
years old. .-.-.-
The injured:
Thomas Haines. YatesviI1e. As, hurt
ny flying timbers; Josiah Twist, So
years old, Latin, arms hurt by being
blown against flying debris.
The explosion occurred in what is
called the press, and the men killed
were in it at the time of the explosion.
A theory is that the explosion was
caused by friction by some of the ma
chinery.
The bodies of Moore and Arthur Gray
were found buried under the debris and
were badly burned. Joseph Gray was
found 200 feet from the mill, his body
literally blown to pieces, scattered here

Gross irregularities Charged in Assay
OF Imported Lead Ores.
Washington, July 13.-The Treasury
Department to-day confirmed the re-
por THAT gross irregularities had been
charged in connection with the assay
of imported lead ores at Eel Paso, Tex.
The department was asked by the
collector there to appoint a commits
sion, with Government Storekeeper
Fulkerson as chairman, to investigate
the charges. This the department de-
clined to do, but instead directed Spe-
cial Agents Evans at Ell Paso and
Johnson of. New Orleans to make the
investigation, and instructed Mr. Full
kerson to turn over to these special
agents any facts in his possession
bearing upon the subject. Mr.. Full
kerson refused to do this on the ground
that the agents would not treat his
evidence as confidential. Thereupon
the department directed that charges
be preferred against Fulkerson for in
subordination.
1t is reported that Fulkerson has re-
signed, but the department has no
knowledge of this action, if it has
| been taken. The investigation is now

This opinion was given by Associate
Justice David G. Brewer of the Su-

Brewer, there may be extenuatins
circumstances which would vary the

by any court in the land for murder in
the same degree as if the crime were
committed by an individual.
There is going 10 be a reaction

which the papers have been filled. The
fact that the people are now interest

problem makes manifest the fact that
there is a tendency toward a change.
I expect that it mill come soon.

feeling against lynchings that will re-
suit in legislation or a remedy of some
