was a Great Teacher.

By the death Of Kuno Fischer, Eu-
rope loses one Of its really great
teachers Of philosophy. Like Victor
Cousin. Fischer paid particular atten.
tion to the form Of his lectures, which
were models of clear and sometimes
eloquent exposition. He spoke invari-
ably without notes, and could quote
from memory extended passages from
the ancient as well as from the mod
ern philosophers. His History Of
Modern Philosophy" is remarkable for
the precision Of its statements and
the Justice of its criticisms. Although
a Hegelian. Fischer never employed
the peculiar terms Of the school. He
was thoughtful critic of modern lit
erature. and his lectures ON Goethe's
Faust. on Lessing. and ON certain
plays Of Shakespeare attracted large
audiences. A singular episode IN his
career. relates New York Post. was
an acrimonious debate with Trendel.
enburg Of Berlin over an interpreta.
ton Of the Kantian philosophy. The
anlmosity produced by this dispute
was. according to some, the reason
why Fischer never went to Berlin. but
remained for more than 80 years an
ornament to the University Of Heidel-
berg and the foremost citizen of that
city.

STRONGER THAN RELIGION.

1t is generally supposed that the
religious sentiment is the strongest
sentiment in a church organization.
But such is not the case, If current
history is to be believed.
The most serious and bitter contro-
versy in the Presbyterian general as
sembly now in session in Columbus, o.,
is over the question of the church
openly indorsing the prohibition party,
which stands for temperance, good
morals and clean politics.
Rather than surrender their allie
glance to the democratic and republi-
can parties, delegates to the general
church assembly are resigning from
committees which will be required to
deal with the liquor question in the
assembly.
1t seems rather inconsistent that
there should be any hesitancy in the
matter. The church believes in tenn
perance, maintains a fund to promote
it, supports and fosters it in every
possible manner and yet when the
real test comes, many leading church
delegates bolt.
If the church organizations were
unanimous for temperance, as they
should be, and would ally themselve:
politically where they belong, the
whiskey domination in politics would
be wiped out of existence in the
twinkling of an eye.
The trouble is that the partisan sen
/ timent is often much stronger thar
the religious sentiment. Men vote on,
way and pray another and the result
is that neither their votes nor thei
prayers count for much in the intrin
sic moral progress of the country, ex
cept to stand as compromising obsta
cles in the road.

self-development in a most striking
manner.
The chapter on the human will is
alone worth the one dollar which the
book costs. 1t gives an inspiring
short lecture on business promptitude,
the art of keeping your promise.
All through its chapters runs the
central idea of business integrity, of
personal responsibility of clean-cut,
fearless dealings. and a square deal
for all.
It is not dogmatical, it is not ortho-
dox, it is simply a business mans re-

square actions, force of character and

Pres. E. L. Martin a BrOokhaven Visi.
Tor. Enthusiastic Over Montana
Mining Investments.

The opportunity to invest in
a thoroughly established gold
mine such as the Montana Consol-
idated, which now pays dividends
regularly each month, and will do
so at steadily increasing rate
for decades and generations to
come, has never been presented to
the citizens of this city and sec
tIon heretofore.
It is now being offered by Prof.
E. L. Martin, who was reared
| in Brookhaven, and is now on a
short visit to his old home.
The success of the Montana, in
which Mr.. Martin is one of the
chief stockholders, has been one
of the marvels of the great West.
With only a small milling capac-
ity, nearly $3,000,000 worth of
gold and scheelite have already
been gotten out, receipts for
which the company holds from
the q. S. mint.
Over five miles of tunnels al
ready run have brought clearly in
sight, according to the signed
statements of some of America S
most eminent engineers, $25, 900,
| l000 to $50, 200, 900 wnrth of ore,
| and yet they declare the explora-
ltion work has hardly been begun.
They advise that the present mill
equipment be increased as speed
lily as possible to twenty-five times
its present capacity and it is for
the purpose of promptly provid-
| ing this increase that stock is
offered now instead of waiting
five or SIX years for it to be done
from the profits. With the add
ed production thus assured, will
come increased revenues, and
therefore increased dividends.
The company has not dollar Of
indebtedness, floating mortgage
or bonded nor has it preferred
stock Of any kind, but every in
vestor stands upon plane of per-
feet equality and is guaranteed
ibis dividends every month.
/ Prof. Martin has just spent ten
ldays in JACKSON presenting the
proposition to his friends and the
