FACTS ABOUT TYPHOID AT WILLIAMS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: It is a cause of much congratulation to the
graduates of Williams College TO learn of the very
satisfactory in which the so-called outbreak
of typhoid fever at Williamstown has been man

alarmed by the sensational dispatches in the news
papers to the effect that epidemic of that
dreaded disease had broken out in a community
that has always been regarded of the most
healthful in New-England and whose water supply
was believed to be absolutely pure. Happily this
reputation stands unassailed in the light of the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
DENIAL BY CHARITABLE SOCIETY.
Says 1t Doesn't Do Business in the Way Cited
by Mrs Burns

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In an article on Wisdom in Charity which
appeared in your issue of December l, Mrs. Car-
ence Burns is quoted having criticised "the Char
,ty Organization Society for giving starving fam
lily eight 50-cent ticket for groceries,
and having said IF they going to help at
ALL why don't they give family enough to be of
some real gOod?'
The above statements contrary to the prln-
ciples of organized charity work that we believe
there has been some mistake. The Charity Organ
zation Society not give tickets for groceries
If. however. only so cents worth provided, it
was probably interim relief given while an in
vestigaton of oil of the facts being made, and
instance did figure.
Our dealings with the poor. think, are better
illustrated by the following instance taken at ran
dom from among many which could be cited:
For eight years this society has been caring for
has had two operations, and has been great suf-
ferer but she has been excellent mother 70 her
children. During the years when there was no one
to provide this society procured almost their en-
work, and next year the second one will bring
them close 10 sef-suppOrt. To meet their needs
and to give them the ordinary comforts the Char-
ity Organization Society has procured $1,000 first
and last to provide monthly pensions and we be
heve that every dollar has been worthily bestowed
In order that we might make careful inquiry into
the instance which Mrs. Burns cites, we have to-
day sent her letter asking her to give us the
name and address of the family which she mas IN
mind and we have promised her apology If 1T
is found that of our agents has provided other
than adequate relief

DR.. BOVINE A PHILOSOPHICAL HERETO.

To the Editor Of The Tribune:
Sir I write this after reading your editorial to-
day on DIR. Bovine: Heretic!" as a full indorse-
ment of DR.. Bovine a philosopher. I have met
Dr. Bovine; he is a Christian gentleman. profound
scholar. acute critic and philosopher,
too. Nevertheless his doctrine of the relation Of
the Deity the physical forces declares him TO be
a philosophical hereto. I do not style him an
ecclesiastical hereto, but a philosophical In
his published views to the relation of God to
the present activities of nature he is not in accord
with the truth Of things. In his book on Meta
physics" p. 531. in speaking of atoms, he says:
'"They must be viewed elementary forms of the
action of the Infinite; physical phenomena are not
referabe to their substantial ground, but to the
agency Of the Infinite" So also in his book on
Thought and Knowledge" p. 342 he says: THE
world (cosmos) exists only in and for a Supreme
Mind. The world exists not only as conception
Of the divine understanding, but also form of
the activity of the divine will" Other statements
show clearly that he believes that the present
activities of the present direst Outgoes
of divine agency. Bovine gives place in his
philosophy to what called secondary causes.
He makes all the movements in nature to be the
present activities of God According to his doc
trine the roll OF n stone down hill is pull of the
Almighty; the explosion of steam boiler. wreck
ing building and killing the workers, lisa direct,
personal operation OF the Diety. When the martyrs
were burned God was the consuming fire. When a
becomes jolly under the influence OF wine or
brandy he praise the Lord for his comforting
goodness If he becomes dead drunk, 1t IS only a
strong manifestation of divine power Drunkenness
is form of divine action. Now. affirm against
this theory that it's advocacy belongs to philo-
sophical heresy. The truth, l understand mat
ter is thus When in the past there a
tive outgo of divine power, by which matter and
its forces were brought into existence and
thus constituted part of nature, and their modes
of operation termed natural law and such
may be named secondary causes. The fruit
OF tree does not grow, ripen and rot by the
direct action of the Creator, but in accordance
with and by those methods of action called natural
laws. Nature moves in her mysterious ways in
virtue of the powers given by the creative act of
the Creator Corn now grows and forms its seeds
by secondary causes not by the direct action the
Infinite. DR.. Bovine afirms. Thereby he CON
Pounds the divine will and natural law, and is so
far out of accord with the truth of things in the
Ongoings of nature that with all his splendid
gifts thinker and writer, must call him a
