prises. Mr. Wardner was an eccentric
man and during his life time had made
and lost fortunes.
Wardner's lie was spent in Journeys
over the American continent, his wan
behring's even taking him into the dia-
mond fields of South Africa. He was
connected with large mining deals from
the Klondike to the Isthmus of Pana-
ma, had lost at least four fortunes,
and at the time. of his death was the
owner Of quicksilver mine in Mexico.
He served in the civil war, being APP

He engaged in hog raising in Cali
fornia and gold mining in Arizona, re-

the intention Of settling down In some
quiet business, but he lost the $4,000
in speculation. Among his notorious

Cat Company, Limited" with his ranch
for raising black cats in Washington.
The latter part of his eventful life

German Chancellor Shows Hanel OF
Government.

Paris, March 30.--Chancellor Won
Buelow's speech in the reichstag yes
terday on the subject of Germany's at
titude toward Morocco, is likely to
exert a strong influence upon he Nor
ocean situation. The text Of the Ger
man chancelor's speech did not appear
in time to permit the officials here
to fully consider It's bearings. but the
general view prevails that the chan
cellor's language, while moderate and
dignihed, nevertheless discloses Ger
many's purpose not to recognize the
Angle French agreement given France
paramount position in Morocco.
The chancellor's allusion to main
tanning the open door without limit
evidently was directed against the
agreements thirty-year limit. The
reference to maintaining the sultan's
sovereignty and Germanys dealing
directly with the sultan, also is likely
to arouse O. feeler, not because France
has an opposite policy but because
this declaration, co-inc1dent with En-
peror Williams visit gives rather as
sertive prominence to Germanys ex-
pectations concerning a country in
which France is deeply interested.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed

inflamed you have rumbling sound

entirely closed, deafness is the result,

sTlIL FIGHT ROCKEFELLER GIFT
Opposition to 100000 Donation to be
Carried Before Ministers.

Boston, Mass, March 31.--Despite
the fact that the prudent committee of
the American board of commissioners
for foreign missions has practically
decided to accept the gift of 100000
from John d. Rockefeller to further
the work of the board. committee
representing che Congregational clergy
men sof Boston and vicinitM who are
opposed to the acceptance of the gift
met yesterday and decided to continue
the protest.
1t was agreedsby the members of the
committee that a wide expression OF
opinion on the question was desirable,
and for this purpose Il committee was
appointed to submit the facts and docu-
ments- In the matter to the Cvngrega-
tional ministers of the country. The
prudential committee will not take
final action on the acceptance OF Mr..
RockefellerA gift for two weeks, and
it Is the intention of the protesting
committee to learn, If possible, the
general feeling among the clergymen
OF the denomination.
Statement is Made.
Yesterdays meeting was attended
by fifteen members Of the committee.
A statement regarding the proceed
ings issued by Rev. Herbert w. Gleas-
on, secretary of the protestants' COM
mittee says: "The committee consid-
cred the reply of the prudential COM
mittee to the protest and was unit
in the conviction that this reply raises
still more fundamental and serious
issue-namely, that the prudential
committee disclaims all moral re-
sponsibility for discrimination as to
the source from which it receives mon
ey for Christian work"
Dr. Washington GLADDEN. Of Column

he says, processes to have cured sew
eral cases of hopeless insanity by
working upon the theory that a large
per cent of insanity is caused by Cd
session by evil discarnate intelligences.
DIR. Funk says:
A. few weeks ago in Chicago Or.
Carl A.. Wiskland, an intelligent ana
respectable physician of that CITY, re-
siding at GIG North Wells street gave
me a number Of personal experiences
which have convinced him that obses-

along this theory-Some who were
pronounced hopelessly insane. We
may laugh at this but there is solid
ground for an Il priori dogmatic con-
clusion that hypnotism may not be

MUST STAND SCIENCE TEST.
Ten Commandments, Says Professor
Coulter, Not Authoritative.

Chicago, March 31.-Those who have
the scientific spirit need have no fear
of the ten commandments, for these
moral codes, together with many other
ancient moral Foundations, are not
commandments at all, according to
Professor John Merle Coulter, Of the
University of Chicago. In an address
on Science as Teacher Of Morality"
before the Hyde Park guild of the Re
Ngious Educational Association In
Mandel hall last night, the botanist told
his audience that the ten command
nents and the sermon on the mount are
not authoritative because they are
commandment but because they are
true. Science never accepts thing
as truth until it is tested" said he.
"These ancient moral codes were only
attempted statements at truth which
therefore had first to be tested.
Science would never raise the ques-
ton whether the ten commandments
or the sermon on the mount are bind
ing upon this nation or that nation, this
generation or some other, but simply
whether they contained principles es-
sential to a well-ordered individual or
society,"" he continued. This is the
test of such codes. If science should
find that they are true and always
apply everywhere, just as the accepted
law of gravitation always applies then
these codes may be accepted as the
truth.
Science Wants the Truth.
"If science could detect that only at
times are these principles essential to
order and system of the Individual or
society," then science would reject them
as not the truth. The scientific mind
never accepts thing as the truth I'M
less it is first thoroughly tested. no
matter what the source of the infor-
nation may be or how high the .au-
thority that sends 1t forth.

feet Of the scientific spirit 1t is MAX
