RABBI DEFENDS HRELIGION
Says That the Ingersollian Type Has Al
most Disappeared from Public
Society.

New York. March 22.-Replying to
articles published recently in London
raising a question as to the success of
the ministers of the world in spreading
the Gospel, Rabbi Silverman, of the
Temple Emanuel, declares that atheism
and agnosticism are now generally
looked upon as Intellectual weakness.
''The Ingersollian type" he asserted,
"has almost disappeared from polite So
ciety. There is a tacit understanding
that religion is an evidence of culture
and refinement and that it has whole
some effect upon the development of
man. There never was a time." he
continued, "when men of all shades of
belief were as interested in religious
study, in worship and practice as to-
day"

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM
Results ia the Destruction of Four Val.

liable Chinese Images Before a
Worlds Fair Gatekeeper.
st. Louis, March Reinforcement
of the recent rule that under no cir
cumstances will persons be permitted
to carry packages from the Worlds
fair without special permit resulted
in four Chinese artisans destroying
four valuable carved wooden ina ges
before an astonished gatekeeper. The
four Celestial artisans had been in
structed to take the images from the
missioners, residing in the city, who
had arragned to have them gilded and
painted to be presented to distinguish
ed Worlds fair people as souvenirs
Through error no written permits to
take the images from the grounds had
been provided.
A gatekeper stopped the four Chi
namen and investigated their pack
ages. The Celestials could not under
stand English, but they perceived that
they were not going to be permitted
to carry the images through the gates.
Thereupon each broke his image into
pieces. An Interpreter was summoned
and quickly made it plain that the Chi
namen had broken the images to prove
their innocence Of theft. "In China
when man is accused Of stealing any
thing found in his possession he imme-
diately destroys it to show that he is
no thief" said the interpreter.
