The Bible and the Schools.

Brooksville, Ky.-Judge James P.
Harbeson of the circuit court has rem
dered a decision in the case where
the Rev. Thomas Hackett, a Catholic
priest, brought an injunction suit
against the school trustees of Brooks
vile asking that they and the teachers
in the public schools be restrained
from reading the Bible or Offering
prayer in the schools, on the groun6
that it was a violation of the constitu
ton. Judge Harbeson dismissed tn
petition, at the cost OF the plaintiff
and in unqualified terms says that tn
Bible is the foundation Of all Chris
tan governments and he does not see
where it is sectarian to read 1t In
schools. An appeal was asked for and
granted.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WRITING
OF "BEN.HuR."
The Greatest Play Of the Century.


Few people know that II was the
famous agnostic, Robert G.. Ingersoll,
who caused the writing of the novel
"Ben-Hur," the stage versien OF which
has created an absolute sensation, not
only in this country. but in England
and Australia. 1t came about through
a chance meeting OF the two famous
men in railroad journey, when Chris
tianity became subject OF their talk.
General Wallace had always been a
man of strong religious inclination:
indeed, his splendid description Of the
appearance of the Star of Bethlehem
to the wise men of the desert had been
written before this chance acquains
ance.
The arguments and claims of the
great infidel were too much for the
doughty general. His senses were
charmed with the eloquence and poet
ical presentation of the causes of ag
Mysticism, but he was by no means
convinced Of its truth. The discussion
made him deeply reflective and led
him to make a careful and exhaustive
study of the life of the Nazarine. The
result of this research and General
Wallace's answer to Ingersoll was
"Ben-Hur." a work which has been
more widely read than any printed
volume save the sacred Book OF Scrip
lures.
The entire public of the state of
Washington seems to be interested in
the presentation of "Ben-Hur" at the
Spokane Theater, Spokane. The en-.
gagement covers December 14th, 18th
and 10th, with special matinee on
Tuesday, December 18th. Special rates
can be secured from the railroads by
applying to the local railroad agents.

Nearly 10000 Men Enlisted--Net
Decrease,


Washington.-On December /, 1902
the army of the United States, accord
ing to the latest reports which had
been received from the military de-
partments, consisted of 1886 officers
and 66,003 enlisted men, a total OF
So, 5S9. In addition there were in the
service 1898 men of the hospital corps
excluded by the act of March l, 1887,
from classification as part of the en-

cal officers, 100 regular officers and
1878 enlisted men of the Philippine
scouts, and 20 officers and $40 enlisted
men of the Porto Rico regiment. At
that time | reported an order made
on the oath of October, 1902, providing
for further reduction of the army to
the minimum strength allowed by law,
except as to the organizations which
were to be kept at full strength for
instruction purposes at LeaVenworth
and Riley and the legation guard at
Picking. That order has been executed
during the year by permitting enlist
ments to run out without filling the
vacancies.
At the date of the last reports re.
ceived from the military departments,
October Is, 1903, the actual strength
of the regular army was 1851 officers
and $500 enlisted men, distributed as
follows:
United States, 1882; Philippine isl.
ands, 1850; Cuba, 719; Porto Rico,
fl2; Hawaiian islands, 1877; China,
451; Alaska, 500.
The distribution among the differ
ent branches of the service was as
follows:
q General officers and staff organiza-
ions, 3848; cavalry, 1919; artillery
orps, 1910; infantry, 24,554; re-

& There was also in the service &c
Ulcers and 500 enlisted men of the
sgorto Rico regiment, 80 officers and
sos enlisted Philippine scouts and
BOZ hospital corps men.
These figures show a total net de-
Tease during the year OF 1873.

.ION|E HAS SQUARED UP
BY A DIPLOMATIC STROKE he
MAKES PEACE.
HIS Immediate Creditors Settled With
Others Give Reasonable Time
-Dowie Declared Zion Estate Was
Valued at Fourteen Million Dollars
Lace and Candy Factory Behind
With Orders.
With Orders,

Chicago, Dec. by a stroke of
diplomacy John Alexander Dowie has
established harmony in Zion. its re.
ceivers and its creditors in and out
OF court. He proposes to settle with
his immediate creditors, to arrange
with others on a reasonable time
basis and to end the receivership.
AT recent conference between the
attorneys representing the heaviest
creditors and Jacob Newman, attorney
for the receivers. Dowie showed the
lawyers a statement setting forth
lions assets and liabilities. He de.
clared he valued lions estate at S14..
100000 above all liabilities He ex.
hibited large orders for lace and
candy. He said neither the lace nor
the candy factory could supply its
orders. He showed an order for 70
carloads of candy from a Cincinnati
firm. He showed a draft for $4,000
from wealthy wellwisher and de.
clared he could draw for 5000 600
more on one of lions friends in Wis.
consin.
On this showing he offered to set.
tie all urgent claims in cash and to
put Zion on cash basis in all future
dealings with the world. With his
heaviest creditors out of the way. he
said, his debts demanding immediate
payment would not amount to more
than $150000.
Mr.. Dowie's presentation of figures
and his offers of settlement were sat
isfactory to the attorneys. His plar
will be submitted to the receivers
their attorneys and the creditors at
torneys and, it is said, will be &C
cepted. In that event, the creditors
will join hands with Dowie in a ples
to Judge Kohlsaat to dismiss tht
pending litigation and permit DowiC
freedom to gather funds and canoe
his obligations.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Secretary Wilson Submits His Annual
to the President

to the President.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, has submitted his annual report
to the president In part he says:
Out of their continued abundance
during the past year the farmers of
the nation have contributed food and
raw materials for manufactures to hun
dreds of millions of people in foreign
countries, besides sustaining S0,000000
at home.
Represented in value, the exports of
grain and grain products had about
two thirds of the Importance of cotton
in the last fiscal year, the value of the
export being more than 1921, 900, 900.
From 100000 acres of wheat there
was surplus for foreign mouths
amounting to 114,000,000 bushels and
20,000,000 barrels of flour, amounts
that together represent 204,0OO,OOO
bushels of wheat.
Third in importance are the exports
of meats and meat products, with
grand total of Sis, 000,0 900, to which
may be added $4,000, 900 for live ami
mails. Quantities that are beyond the
grasp of the mind represent the ex-
ports of meats and their products. The
pounds of beef were 385,000000 of
pork, 551, 100000; of lard, 491, 900, 900,
and of oleo oil, 126,0OO,O0
The foregoing figures, it should be
borne in mind, do not stand for the to-
tai production of the farms, but for
the surplus production after the wants
of the people at home have been salts
fed

PANAMA DISCOVERS A PLOT
life OF GENERAL HUERTAS Is
THREATENED.
Four Army Officials From Colombia
Charged with Trying to Persuade
Garrison at Panama to Revolt

Mot really existed it was promptly
nlpped III the bud by the apprehension
at Panama OF four alleged conspira-
tors, VINO were Immediately brought
unaer guard to Coon and shipped
hence TO Port Limon.
The prisoners were all born in the
interior Oh Colombia, and have been
on the isthmus for years. They were
members of the Colombian battleship
which gave it's support to the new gov
eminent when the republic was form
ed, and which was commanded by Gen
eral Huertas. They all took the oath
of allegiance to the new republic and
continued to serve in the army. One
of them is a colonel named Ferrol,
two are majors, and the fourth is the
adjutant of General Huertas.
They declare that the charge that
they were engaged in conspiracy is
the work of personal enemies, and
that some Colombian who was deport-
ed from the isthmus Immediately after
the establishment of the republic No
vember 8, sent letter from Port Lii
mon addressed to Colonel Ferrol. The
communication was written in terms
duplicating them in such a plot. At
the same time, they say, the writer
advised some of the officials at Pana-
ma to secure and read the letter ad-
dressed to Colonel Ferrol before it was
delivered to him. This was done eth
er last night or this morning. The
four persons were arrested this morn
ing at the barracks and lodged in Jail.
This afternoon they were conveyed
to the railway station, where they
were placed on board a train bound
for Colon.
According to their statement, they
were not allowed to make any explana-
ton. The writer of the letter, they
say, may have been prompted by a
desire to injure them because they
turned Panamains, or the whole plot
may have been concocted in Panama
in order to get them out Of the coun-
try because, as Colombians, they were
disliked here. They do not dare go to
Colombia where, they assert, they will
be treated as traitors. The govern
ment will pay their passage to Port
Limon. They are entirely without
funds and have no means of earning
a living, but they express the hope
that ultimately they will be permit
ted to return to the isthmus.
Upon arriving here the prisoners
were placed in Jail. The reports in
circulation that they attempted to as
sassinate General Huertas are not
true. Nevertheless. the government
doubtless had some evidence against
them to justify the step Of deporting
them.

of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen

concerning my supposed connection
Herewith, which take the liberty of
answering in order that IL may prop

Il do not desire In accepting your
good faith or sincerity in accepting
the conclusions of your subordinate.
Mr.. Bristow, and in dignifying them
with the weight of your high official
position, but has it occurred to you
that pending the trial of the three
indictments against me based upon
the allegations of the report, and
without having heard one word from
me in my defense, your premature
and unwarranted announcements of
my assumed guilt and your call to the
court and jury to indorse the same,
is to say the least, extraordinary and
dangerous?
II am not even asking that should
be presumed innocent or that before
| am condemned by you or the de-
partment | should be confronted by
proof or witnesses or given an oppor-
tunity to be heard in my defense; or
that in the trial which confronts me,
| should have fair trial-all I am
asking is that in view of the uni
formity of my life and the fact that
my lips may at any moment be for
ever sealed, this letter be filed among
your official records of my case, to-
gether with my letter of July 81,
