ALTHOUGH Cuba has grown far larg
err sugar crop this year than last, there
has been a very serious falling off in the
amount exported. The reason for this
is that under the reciprocity treaty,
which it is expected the extra session of
Congress will ratify in few days or
weeks, nearly one cent per pound would
be saved by the importers. all of which
will GO into the pockets of the same, and
more than one-half Of whom are Ameri-
cans. The result of these decreased i'm
portations has already been felt by the
Treasury Department, the receipts from
customs having fallen below the actual
expenditures of the country. The Cuban
(American) planters are not so hard up
as the friends of reciprocity pretend.

GIFT SAVES HOSPITAL.
F.. r. Ayer Presents SIO5 900 to
L0sCeU Institution.

Frederick Tanning Aver, Of this city. who re-
Gently gave 100000 to the Lowell Textile Col
lege has with gifts agEreget ting $105 000 saved
the Lowell General Hospital from going out of
existence and provided a permanent income
for 1t.
On the banks of the Merrimac River in Lowell
has stood for many years the Lowell General
Hospital. It is one Of the best non-sectarian
hospitals in that part of the State. The entire
hospital property was given many years ago by
the late j. K. Fellows wealthy manufacturer
Of the Massachusetts city. 1t was stipulated
that should the hospital ever become insolvent
or fail to meet it's annual expenses the property
should revert to him or to his heirs. The prop
erty is valued at not less than $4,000
The institution has been liable lately to meet
its expenses and deficit has been accumu-
lating at the rate Of $3.50 a month, until there Is
floating debt aggregating $4,000. This hos
pital has been boon to many employees OF the
large factories of Lowell who need treatment.
To lose it would have been almost a calamity
to the community.
Mr. Aver at first offered $1,000 toward pay
ing the floating debt with the proviso that the
trustees raise the other $4,000. This has been
done He further promised 100000 as an en-
dowrnent fund the income to be used to sup
port the institution the same conditions that
were made by the original giVer Of the hospftal
that should the expenses ever exceed the IN
come, the fund should revert 10 MIN OF HIS
heirs.
Last Friday Mr.. Aver signed his check Tor
the 100000 and the hospital now seems per-
nanently secure. The former trustees nave re
signed and a new board has been chosen, Win

Lowell for president.

DR.. ABBOTT SAYS RELIGION IS LIFE.
Not Theology, HOwever-Declares Latter
Drives Away Churchgoers.

Beginning an address delivered at the Peoples
Institute, Cooper Union. last night. on What is
Religion - Dr. Lyman Abbott changed his subject
TO What Is the Bible Idea Of Religion" He said
in part:
Whether Jews or Christians. Catholics Prot
estants. believers unbeevers, we must admit
that the idea of religion in the United States is
derived from the Bible just the religion of the
Chinese Is derived from Confucius. of the Turks
from the Koran. In our ideas of religion we have
added 10, perhaps even subtractod from. the Bible
am asked, Why do not more people go TO church?
/ answer. / am often surprised that any go TO
church
Thinking, about religion IS not religion Itself
Most people do not go to church. because some
times. instead of religion they get theology. Peo-
pie who go to church want hope and inspiration.
A physiology book would not replace breakfast to
q hungry man. any more than theology would be a
substitute for a man desirous Of religion. man
might be orthodox yet irteltgious Conversely he
might be religious. yet unorthodox. Ritual cere-
montal and prayers are not religion. but vehicles
for its expression, and, such necessary for the
portant.
Theology is not religion. but what think Of
religion. Shall therefore abolish theology? By
no means. Everything is worthy of study. We
are a money making people-a1most always after
the dollar Yet Sunday is set aside as a respite q
day of rest: Religion may beget church, but a
church will not beget religion. Every church
must be Judged on earth. as it will. believe, be
judged before the Great White Throne. Religion
Is the life out Of which conduct grows Char
acter is religion.
