The Tibetan form Of the Buddhistio re-
lRion il discussed in Chapters II and -.
There is or rather there has been hitherto,
a belief current that the Buddhism of Tibet
is lawful descendant OF the Buddhism
which Gautama preached beneath the
pipuls Of Bengal Extravagant It was
known 10 be, and it was obvious that it
he'd become incrusted with ritual and both
adorned and humbled by tradition. It
was clear also that, for the common folk,
the letter had almost killed the spirit. and
the use by The priests OF their sacred po-
sition to subject the laymen to tyranny
had not escaped notice. After all, how
ever, much the same thing il to-day
true of Christianity also; yet the pure
fame Of Christianity. however strange
or tawdry the shrine, burns perhaps as
steadily to-day as ever il did. Mr.. Lam
don tells VS. that this parallel-whioh the
student carries with him almost uncon-
sciously to the consideration OF Buddhism
has obscured the truth. The Buddhism
OF Tibet has no longer the faintest re-
semblance TO the plain austere creed
preached by Gautamn, Our author deems
Il doubtful If the founder Of Buddhism
would recognize in its formula or rites
any trace Of the purity and sobriety Of his
own faith. 1t ia pronounced hard to say
whether he would be more offended by the
golden cooking pots Of the Potala Palace
or by the awful Standardization Of the

carried TO an extreme. Except in so far as
Buddha's face OF quietisn personfed still
gazes down from wall and altar upon the

which the reputation and power OF the

MRS. CHADWICK ILL.
Said To Be Suffering From Physical
and Mental Collapse.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 1.-TWO pHysi-
clans were called to see Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick in Jail. She is said to
be suffering from physical and mental
collapse. Attorney Dawley says she
is afflicted with heart trouble and
would not be able to stand trial in
court in her present condition. Mrs.
Chadwick is said to have frequent
fainting spells. The announcement
that Mr. Carnegie had decided to re-
imburse the losers by the failure of
the Oberlin bank has seemed to great
ly affect Mrs. Chadwick.
DR.: Chadwick called at the Jail and
spent half an hour in conversation
with his wife. He admitted to the Jail
officials that he thought his wife was
a very sick woman. He asked to be
notified Immediately if there should be
any dangerous symptoms in her i'll
ness. Dr. Chadwick had not called on
his wife in II days.

statesmen as those Of more conspicu-
Gus public characters. Simmons ran
away from his home in North Carolina
in 1864. He made his way to Wash
ington and, like all negroes, looked on
Abraham Lincoln as the patron saint
of his race, and the one to whom he
could appeal for help. He reached
President Lincoln and related his tale
of fleeing from slavery and coming to
Washington by the underground route.
Mr.. Lincoln gave him a minor place In
his household and, except for a year
or two during Cleveland's first admin
istratiOn.
In all these years of rubbing against
statesmen and public officials Arthur
has received some polish, but be still
retains one noted trait of his race-a
love for the succulent possum. Every
holiday season some of his old friends
in the south send him the finest, fat
test 'pOSsums they can discover.

has not made good" They are pro-
posing to abolish the commission as it
now stands and authorize another OF
not more than three members, and
these gentlemen to receive salaries OF
not exceeding $500 year each. The
salaries of the present commission are
$4,000 a year. Naturally there will be
some opposition to reducing this COM
mission, and especially to reduction
in it's compensation. The commission,
of which Rear Admiral Walker is
chairman, is prepared to show that
each member has performed valuable
service, and that its future work de-
mands at least seven members, each
one of whom can have a particular
branch of the work in charge.
The house committee, of which Mr..
Hepburn, of Iowa, is chairman, and
which visited the isthmus just before
the meeting of congress, seems partic-
ularly set against a continuance of the
present commission. Members assert
that the commission has done very lit
tie work and that all of a practical ma
ture that has been accomplished has
been due to Chief Engineer Wallace,
who is supposed to be subordinate to
the commission. These congressman
claim that the work should be put in
the hands of Engineer Wallace abso-
lutely, and that he be given authority
to select an advisory board of en-
gineers with whom he can consult on
the problems presented in the con-
struction of the canal They are will
ing to compromise by authorizing,
commission of three men, who may
have charge of the executive features
of the enterprise, but who will not be
allowed to interfere with the cOnstruc-
ton and with the engineering details.
There is a strong feeling that the
whole work should be placed under
the control of the army engineers in
the war department. Engineer Wal
laces report is now being awaited with
great interest, as it is believed that he
will show that a sea-level canal can
and ought to be constructed.

debate, and who seldom make speeches
on the general legislation. 1t happens
frequently, however, that subjects are
introduced with which they ale thor
Oughly familiar, and it is then that
they command attention and are lis
tened to with interest by their COL
leagues. The late Senator Hanna es-
tablished his reputation as a ready de-
batter and a forcible speechmaker
when he addressed the senate on the
subject of an isthmian canal. The
construction of canals which involves
the use of excavating machinery was
something with which Mr.. Hanna was
altogether familiar, and the cOnvin-
cling way in which he talked of this
business proposition made his speeches
the most effective of any delivered on
the floor Cf the senate.
The majority of the senators are
lawyers, many of them theorists, and
not few purely sophomore orators.
1t was a delight to them to listen to
some one who could talk practical
common sense and enlighten them on
business methods which he could ex-
plain in a way to be understood.
Senator Kearns, of Utah, has seldom
opened his mouth in the senate, but
the other day, when the subject of the
mining laws and practical mining
came up, Mr.. Kearns took the floor
and was at once at his ease in discus
sing a subject which he knows from
the bottom up. He had learned mining
from the pick and shovel up to the
latest mechanical method, and there
was no point in the whole subject with
which he was not familiar. The SEN

ton, but when he talked of lodges,

ing Arrested on a Warrant
Sworn Out by an Attorney.
ARE CHARGED WITH THE CRIME.
The Arrests We're Due to a Story
Told by the Divorced Wife
of Browning.
The Woman Says He confSS@ed That
He and Evans Did the Deed-Both
Men Deny All knowledge
OF tho Killing.

Bedford, Ind, Jan. 19.-Frank Evans
and William Elmer Browning were ar
rested on warrants sworn out by John
H. Underwood, an attorney, charging
them with the murder of Miss Sarah
G.. Schafer on the night of January 21,
1903. The men were taken to Under
woods Office, where they were ques
toned for an hour without result.
The arrest is due to a story told by
Mrs. Cook, the divorced wife of Brown
ing According to her story her hus-
band, from whom she was at the time
separated, told her that he and Evans
had killed Miss Schafer. In the con-
fession she says he made to her he
said that he and Evans had planned
to assault Miss Schafer on the night
previous to the murder, but one of
them failed to appear and the assault
was postponed until the following
night, when the two met at the alley
and as Miss Schafer passed Browning
struck her on the head with slung-
shot, stunning her.
The Blow That Killed Her.
Evans caught her and carried her
into the cabshed where, with a fiat
rock a little larger than mans hand
he struck her a blow on the forehead
which resulted in her death.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Cook, Evans and Browning walked
west through the alley to NJ street.
On the way Evans produced a bottle
of whisky and after giving Browning
a drink took one himself and threw
the bottle down where it was found
next morning.
Evans changed his clothing, giving
the bloodstained garments to Brown
ing with instructions to burn them.
Browning gave them to his wife, who
hid them, where, it is claimed, they
were found a few days ago. Among
the clothing is a cuff with a button
to match one said to have been found
in the cabshed day or two after the
murder.
Six or eight weeks ago Mrs. Cook
was reported to have told a similar
story, but when she and Browning
were taken before the mayor they both
denied having made the statements
referred to. Evans says that he was
guilty of no crime and had no fear of
violence. Both men are now in Jail.
The arrest caused scarcely a ripple
of excitement.

but his length of service was eclipSed
by the late Justin S. Morrill,, of Yer
mont, and now Senator Allison is the
record breaker. Senator Benton had
continuous service in the senate of 80
years On the day of his death Sen
ator Morrill, had held a seat cOntinu-
Ously in the senate for 81 years, 8
months and "a days. Senator Allison,
on the first of January, had rounded
out 81 years, 8 months and 26 days.
On the 4th of next March he viii have
been in the senate continuously 80
years, having taken his seat for the
first time on March 4, 1873.
There have been senators who could
trace back their entry into the senate
these distinguished statesmen who
held their seats continuously for so
long For instance, there was the late
John Sherman, of Ohio, who took his
seat as the successor of Salmon P
Chase, who had been made secretary
of the treasury in President Lincoln's S
cabinet on March %, 1861. He re-
signed from the senate on Marcn D,
1897, or 36 years after he had first
taken the oath In the meantime, how
ever, he had left the senate for four
years to become secretary of the treas
ury under President Hayes. His total
service was 81 years, II months and
IA days.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who
will retire on the 4th of March, first
took his seat February 1, 1865, just 40
years ago the 1st of next month. His
service, however, was broken by an in
terval of II years from 1875 to 1887.
Senator Allison had eight years to his
credit in the house before he went to
the senate, so that on March he will
have rounded out 40 years of continu
one service in congress.
