A NOTABLE DISCOURSE.
Dublin University Governor Blames
Churches for Bigotry.


CHICAGO, August Extracting the great
est truths of the Christian religion to an
origin in the beliefs of heather nations. and
expressing the opinion that many of the
writings of the Bible are not inspired prod
ucts Of their attributed authors, Prof. John
Pentland Mahaffy, governor of the Univer-
sity of Dublin. has delivered the convoca-
ton sermon to the University of Chicago
graduating class in Mandell Hall.
DIR. Mahaffy used for his subject, what
Does Christianity Owe to the Jews?"
1.-THE doctrines of the trinity and the incar-
nation were imported from primitive peo-
PIES" the speaker said THE trinity
comes from the documents of the Egyp-
tians and the Indians. and the incarna-
ton from Buddhism.
1T is remarkable that the notion of sac
rffce appears not only in the religions Of
all civilized nations. but also in the lower
races, commonly called heather and primi-
tive. and whose notions of religion were
very crude. 1 do not believe that Genesis
Is an inspired book and that Moses was
directly inspired in writing his account Of
the origin of the world. He used old docu-
ments of the Egyptians and Mesopota-
mians, and did not write from direct obser-
walton. The serpent in the Garden of Eden
was not Satan disguised. as many good
people have been taught to believe. The
serpent is merely the most subtle beast of
the field, not the evil one. Christianity is
not a new thing, but 1t is the gathering Of
all the great truths and the weaving Of
them into the glorious texture of Christian
faith"
Dr. Mahaffy blamed tAe churches both of
England and America. for narrowness and
bfgotry in their creeds. Each church
thinks that the others doctrine is false"
he declared Shall we. then. make reli-
glon so sma-- and exclusive that 1t cannot
even embrace all the Christians of our own
natfon?"

Patent Solicitors.

Patent Solicitors.
OYSTER BAY. August 29.-Presidene
Roosevelt devoted his time today almost
entirely to recreation. He and Secretary
Loeb transacted some official business. but
the volume Of governmental matters was
comparatively light.
Work on the letter of acceptance has
been completed substantially and the docu-
ment now is being Transcribed in nnal
form. 1t will be placed In the hands Of the
printer in day or two.
In the next two or three days few WIS.,
itors will be received at Sycamore HILL
No engagements have been made for cali
ers today, although personal friends of the
President are likely to arrange by tele-
graph to visit him on any matter of i'm
portance.
Secretary Loeb is importuned every day
to make engagements with the President
for people who desire to solicit his influ-
ence to secure patent to obtain atten-
ton or to induce the national committee
to adopt some campaign device. To all
such applicants it Is made plain that they
must proceed through the regular depart
mental or committee channels. as 1t is not
within the Presidents providence to take
up such questions. Even If he should see
the applicants he could do nothing but refer
their cases to the proper department, where
1t would be necessary for them to establish
their claims in accordance with certain
well-deflned laws and regulations.

Quarry Among the Hills.

1t was on the hill above Lingmathang that
Major Wallace Dunlop shot his shao (Sik-
kim stag. the first beast Of the kind to fall
to a European gun. Shao are shy beasts,
and nowhere abundant. They are not found
above the wood limit. Black panther and
musk deer are sometimes met in these for
ests, but they are not common. Pheasants
are plentiful. When the sappers and miners
were working on the road below Gautsa the
blood pheasants used to come down to
the stream to watch the operations. Now
the game birds are almost all frightened
out of the valley. One finds the blood
pheasant high up in the pine forests in
patches of moist earth where the snow has
melted. When disturbed he runs up the
hillside and betrays his new hiding place
by vociferous calls. Pheasant shooting at
Chumbt Is not sport. as the birds seldom
rise, and one must shoot them running for

MICHIGAN MURDER MYSTERY.
Mutilated Body Of Young Man Found
Foul Play.

ORION, Mich. August 29-Murder and
dastardly attempt at concealment is the
theory of the local police officers in the
case Of Maynard Bixby, whose mutiIated
body was found on the Michigan Central
railroad tracks near Orion early today.
Bixby, who was nineteen years old, lived
with his parents in this city. He was with
friends when last seen. He left them
shortly after midnight Saturday night,
pulling out his watch as he departed and
saying that he was going home The
watch was not found in the clothing on
the dead body, and this fact, coupled with
the finding Of a blood-stained stone In the
vicinity Of the tragedy, furnishes the evil
dence of foul play upon which the police
are working. A post norton will precede
the inquest which will be held today
Bixby was young man of good habits
and was not addicted to the use of intoxi-
cantS.

NEW MILITARY BRIDGE,
Is of German Invention and Can Be
Erected in Sections.

BERLIN, August 29.-Three regiments of
military railroad builders In the last few
days erected a strong. wide bridge over the
Elbe, in the country district near Witten-
burg. capable of bearing heavy artillery and
army transports. 1t was torn down to-
day. The experiment and the ma teral for
the bridge cost 100000 Extraordinary
precautions were taken to keep the country
and to prevent photographs of it being
taken. The structure, which was perfected
by members of the general staff. was built
in sections that quickly be put to-
gether. If one or more sections are de-
strOyed by shells or by fire others can be
substituted The bridge can be adapted to
streams varying in width and depth. Gen.
Won Einem. the war minister inspected 1t
Saturday and pronounced 1t admirable.

ERRORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
incorrect Inscription on Presidential
Portraits.

She was bright, well-dressed little wo-
man, and she entered the White House
Just before noon today with a few female
friends. They wandered past Policeman
Jamison at the front door, with their eyes
taxing In everything on the walls and floors.
She saw the painting of Mckinley on the
wall to the left of the north entrance. She
inspected the portrait with care and read
aloud the inscription, william Mckinley,
twenty-ffth President etc. Then they
turned to the other side of the vestibule
and saw Sargent's painting of President
Roosevelt. All of them commented with
animation upon the characteristics of the
portrait, and she proceeded to read at the
bottom of the painting, Theodore Roose-
welt, twenty-fifth President" with the date
of his accession to office, etc.
How Is 1t possible that both Mckinley
and Roosevelt were the twenty-ffth Presl-
dent Of the United States?' she asked her
companions. and they looked amazed when
they walked from one picture to the other
and saw that each was put down officially
as "twenty-fifth President"
"Well!' she exclaimed, and all Of them
stood In front of the painting OF Mckinley
and discussed In lively manner the APP
parent error. Finally they turned to
Policeman Jamison and said:
please tell us how 1t is possible for both
Mckinley and Roosevelt to have been the
States" Jamison. with ten years diplo-
matte experience at the White House.
smiled and shrugged his shoulders In way
that plainly said, II am not responsible.
He had heard the same criticism several
times; in fact ever since the two paintings
were hung facing each other number OF
months ago.
The same little woman continued on her
trip around the big hallway peering at the
inscriptions on the other paintings. she
read under the portrait of Garfield. James
A. Garfield, twentieth President March A.
1881. to September 4, 1881"
"Why, I thought Garfield died later IN
September than that, and am convinced
"He died on the 10th Of September. and
it's funny that September should be
given as the date" said man standing
near.
There was another furry among the wo-
men and the discussion became more AMI
mated than before. They almost ran down
the hall to the painting of Chester A. Ar
thur, who succeeded Garfield. The inscrip-
ton beneath read: "Twenty-first President"
THAT seems to be accurate, she remark
ed, "but IL Garfield was the twentieth
President and Arthur was the twenty first,
then something is wrong with the 1nscrip-
tin on the paintings Of Mckinley ana hoose-
welt, or, rather, Of Roosevelt
Shs was right and there are some errors
that must be corrected by somebody.
President Garfield died September ~. 1881.
He was undoubtedly President up ITO the
time of his, death, yet the official inscrip-
ton on his painting says ne was fresiue a,
from March 4. 1881, to September a. 1881.
The inscription on the painting OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. which must have escaped
the attention of the resident himself must
have been intended for the twenty-sixth
President.

TO LAUNCH A NEW PARTY.
Convention Held in Chicago Today
For Wealth Producers.

CHICAGO. August 29-In response to
calls sent out to labor organizations, tur-
ner societies. single tax clubs and farm
ers and other economic reform bodies,
convention will be held here today for the
purpose of launching a new national po-
litical party. The call urges the necessity
for bringing into existence "a party based
on the principles of liberty as set forth by
Jefferson, which shall admit to it's coun-
ellis none except the wealth producers Of
the country
John Fitzpatrick, Arthur McCracken and
John NJ Vail are among the signers of the
call, as chairman, secretary and treasurer
respectively. In it's embryonic form the
party bears the name Of the Jefferson
democracy, but a move Is on foot to give
1t the formal cognomen of industrial lib
erty party"
The convention will determine whether to
put national ticket in the field this year.
