DIR HIRsCH's ATTACK.
Sunday School Books Roundly D.
 nouaced Last Night.

Sunday School Books Roundly Deu
 nounced Last Night.
 Chicago, Jan 24.-Fervid denuncia- ton of Sunday school books marked the address delivered by pr B. G Hirsch last night in Temple Israel. His subject was What shall children sead In the course of his address he said that most of this church liter ature for children should be labeled as poison.
 After telling of the importance of good reading for children. Dr irsch. in referring to Sunday school stories, said: "There Is not single note in this trash that rings true to the life or. hcaracter of the child. In these books all sorts of impossibilities are calmly assumed and God is dragged into them in the role of brutal an bungiing policeman. There are no wors in the AngIo-Saxon tongue that would ade- quately characterize their stupidity.
 The Sunday school books are worse than any dime novel. Their theology is damnable and their morality is be- low the freezing point. Even if they were not liable to these objections they should be condemned for their literary style, for they contain so much bad grammar and baby talk that they are cruel infliction on the child.

Mystery Surrounding Death of a
 Monroe Woodehopper-
THE CORONER INVESTIGATING

Father of the Dead Man Is Laid Up
 From Injuries Received-A Double
 Which Had Been Used Recently,
 Found.
 Bridgeport, Jan 24.-The murdlr of q woodchopper named Dorman was re- ported to Coroner Doten by pr Frank Wales, the medical examiner of Mon roe, to-day. Dorman, who was 20 years of age, was found dead on the kitchen floor of the house where he lived with his father and two broth CTS. The medical examiner found the father in bed suffering from injuries to his face. He said the boy was killed in a quarrel with some stranger over a woman. The two brothers of the dead man are said to have bsen absent when the tragedy occurred. One of them summoned the medical examiner to the scene of the tragedy.
 The story of the affair as the coro- her received it is very fragmentary. pr Wales says that one of the Dorman boys came to his home last night and summoned him to the Dorman home, which is about mile outside of Mon- roe Center. When Dr Wales arrived there he found the dead youths body lying on the kitchen floor, with a bullet wound in the breast. The father was in bed and had apparently been en- gagged in a scuffle. There was tu- nor on his face from which the blood was flowing. When questioned by the medical examiner he said that he was in the bedroom when a stranger en- tered the house. He had not been long there when his son and the stran- ger began to quarrel. They tiually came to blows and the son was shot. Dr Wales found in his search of the place double barrelled muzzle load ing shot gun. The old man said that the gun had not been used in a year, but on examination 1t was seen that 1t had been used very recently. A number of bits of gun wadding were also strewn about the floor. The father of the boys gave no reason as 10 how he received the cuts on his face. It was also learned that the two sons were away all the afternoon They returned at 5 o'clock and went out again after supper and returned at 2 and found their brother dead on the floor. Telephone connection with Bridgeport was cut off last night for some reason and the medical examin- CT was not able to report until this morning
