reservedly 10 the control OF the law OF
liberty. The type OF religious thought
and feeling represented here Is broadly
inclusive We enjoy the stimulus Of in
telectual variety. But the field OF this
council is practically limited TO the peo-
pie who believe that theology is n pro-
pressive science and not sealed and
final deposit OF faith

Wentde OF Boston. in his report further
indicated the wide scope OF the congress

TWO MARINERS

Of PIRATE GOLD

Bermuda, Sept. A-On a voyage in
quest of sl,200,o0o in Spanish gold. said TO
have been hidden by pirates long ago
on a little island in the Spanish Main.
Capt. Small, with his crew OF one. in the
45-foot yawl Catherine. of Liverpool, has
arrived az ST. Georges.
The crew of the Catherine have already
tasted of the excitement that usually ac-
companies search for pirate treasure,
having weathered a terrific storm, which
for time threatened TO send the l5-ton
craft TO the bottom, and later 1oated for
days becalmed on a sea as smooth as
glass until starvation threatened the
mariners.

hundred years ago by the famous pirate

Catherine will set out for the spot.
The Catherine sailed from Liverpool on
June last. and after spending three or
four weeks along the irish coast finally
sailed from Tuskar Ireland After being
out about 20 days. during which time they
encountered severe weather, they reached
Porta Delquenda, Azores on July ol.

resentatives to the city, assembly and

nation of members Of the city council.
They are talking straight Democracy and
lighting for IT, they say.
THE ENROLMENT.
Answering some OF the arguments or
the opposition as expressed in the Repub-
lican machine organ. one OF the leaders
said today This talk OF scratching off
the names OF supporters OF the irregular
faction is all poppycock. They had a
long time for enrolment and had men out
soliciting names throughout the ward.
They managed TO get of the upward OF
1890 Democratic and Independent voters In
the ward only about 500 They seek to
minimize the force OF this strong argu-
ment that they do not represent the peo-
pie OF the ward by the statement that
many OF their friends refused 10 enroll.
That, OF course, is our argument, too.
Many OF their friends. we claim. are In
the Republican ranks and knew that 1t
would be hopeless TO attempt to enroll.
But IL the argument is good. why does
II not apply TO many OF our friends also?
And IL II does. are not things equal In this
respect, and are we not on equal terms
I'm the coming caucuses?
Moreover. IL must be remembered that
many friends on both sides OF this fight
never attend caucuses anyway and could
not have been expected to enroll. though
they are still good Democrats. And. In
addition, there are some voters whose
votes are recorded every year as Demo-
cratic who are really independent and
would not enroll in either the Republi-
can or Democratic caucuses. The last
election showed that there are fully 5000
OF this class In the city and probably 300
OF them In the Third ward on this basis
