PREACHERS STUDY FARMING.
4 Class or Hartford CerEymen St Work
on Miniature Gardens.

On uuiANu0 GeFuCms
HARTFORD, Conn, May I3.-Several
preachers Of this city have formed farm
ing class, and In the last week have begun
TO till the soil In and about Hartford. Direo-
tor H. d. Hemenway Of the School Of Hor-
ticulture In this city is the leader Of the
ministerial class and he will give it weekly
instruction In the use Of the Doe and spade
during the coming summer.
In the new class are, besides the clergy
men, an English settlement worker, Mrs.
c. A. Webster Of London, who Is IN America
studying methods Of social settlement
work and who came on from Washin gton
TO spend several weeks here and 10 JOIN the
farming class; Prof. James Z. MAdigan,
principal OF the Webster School IN Water
bury, and two Hartford women who want
10 learn farming.
The ministers in the class include the
Rev. DR.. John Coleman Adams Of the Church
Of the Redeemer: the Rev. Harold Pattison
Of the First Baptist Church; the Rev. Harry
Z. Peabody Of the Windsor Avenue Con-
gregational Church and the Rev. DR.. Elmer
A. Dent Of the South Park Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
The first practical lesson was given by
Director Hemenway after be had lect1ned
to the class. Each Of the ministers Il
supplied with pencil and paper and is ex-
pected TO take notes on the lecture 90 as
10 familiari7e himsaf with the methods
explained by Director Hemenway, and
to be able to carry them out later.
At the close Of the lecture each Of the
preachers and the women members Of the
party was supplied with rake and hoe,
and they were introduced TO the scene Of
their summer labors, a garden at the back
Of the school, which was divided into plots
for each Of the workers.
Director Hemenway then gave the word
10 break the sod and the members Of the
class struck out brsvely with rake and hoe.
Some used the rake and some the hos and
ell employed considerable muscle In most
cases the ground showed little result for
all the work, but Director Hemenway en-
cowaged his laborers BY telling them that
the sod was easy to break after the rain
Il wish IL had ratned all last night"
said one Of the clergymen as he leaned on
his rake, drew a long breath and passed
his hand soothingly over the small Of his
back.
The clods were hard and the work heavy,
but each laborer was urged 10 get his tract
ready for the seeds.
In stalking out their individual gardens
Director Hemenway told his pupils that
they could measure by the handle OF their
hoes, each Of which was marked with foot
measurements.
There are no measurements on my hoe,
said one Of the prominent pastors. critically
examining the implement he held.
''Tis q rake you've got, not a hoe, quietly
remarked the director.
Il declare you're right rejoined the
clergyman Rs he looked again at the tool
be had been using for fifteen minutes.

From his own point Of view Hume never
has been. and never can be, refutod. II "a
true that we do not know what oausation
means, and that a series Of sequences needs
no more imply a cause than day Is tho cause
Of night. Only metaphysicians, such for
instance as Kant, not afraid 70 discuss
the meaning Of truth, and not content 70
be ignorant Of II, could reconstruct the
fabric which Hume's irrefragible logic
had battered TO the ground In a word,
Hume closed the philosophic era, and re-
mains the master Of that school OF ex-
perienoe TO which Stephen belonged, a
school which In Germany, at all events,
has been superseded by the totally diff
ferent system Of Kant and Hegel.
In AN Agnostic's Apology which set
forth a final statement Of his creed, Stephen
compares favorably the doctrines Of Mil,
which are really Hume's, with the brilliant
rhetoric Of Newman, who held that there
was no real hating place between sound
Catholicism and sheer atheism. Stephen
thought that Newman had lost himself
In controversy about matters which tran
scend human knowledge; and he himself
took the line Of a reverent skeptioism which
maintains that all discussion about the
phen1ous II Il were not futile. A singular
fact about Stephen IL noted by Mr.. Paul,
namely, that no one would gather from
his books that he had ever been a clergy
man. Some men, after giving up holy
orders, cherish, consciously or otherwise, q
repugnanoe, which sometimes amounts 10
ranoor, for the profession which they have
discarded Others remain as clerical az
they were before, though less orthodox.
and preach in literature when they can no
longer preach from the pulpit. II was
said even OF Renan that though he never
actually became a priest. he was 'tOVjovrs
ssuindrists; but Stephens clerical career,
which was entirely academic, left no per-
ceptible trace upon him. He discovered
that he had made mistake, and when once
he had corrected II there was an end OF the
matter

PORTLAND, Ore, May IS.-When the
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition
opens its gates on June the big fair will be

ration to that effect was made this week
by President II. W. Goode.
The bulk Of construction has long been

touches to be given to the laDdscaping this

that we shall have a completed exposition

happy TO say, We have been able to meet,
aided by excellent weather throughout the
winter for construction, favorable con-
ditions for labor and material and the
cordial cooperation OF all interested in
the success Of the enterprise. The eIpos-
ton will be substantially as complete on
the opening day as when II closes

The exposition occupies 900 acres OF the
