ZOROASTRIANISM.

Zoroaster is the name of the founder
of the Iranian race, and the faith, the
religion named after him is as old as
the hills of Persia. Traditionally it is
nearly as old as Hinduism, and modern
geology is the only section of Western
science that in any way agrees with
Oriental lore as to the age of human
activity and civilization. The cycles of
the Kalpa Sutra, the half million on
so years of Aryan civilization, why are
they not probable? Are we of the West
still under the sway of the middle
ages, with a paltry 5000 years for the
age. of the earth? DR.. Mills, who
translated the Gathas, says it is i'm
possible to limit their age. P1iny puts
Zoroaster before Moses. Aristotle puts
him 5000 B. c. But tradition calls the
Zoroaster of Aristotle the seventh 70
rooster. Anyway, it goes back into the
night of time when the Aryan race was
young The Avestic language is allied
to Sanscrit, and both go back to Zend-
gar, the sacerdotal cryptic language.
The two traces of the literature are
the Zend-Avestic books Of India and
Persia, and, strange to say, excerpts in
Greek from books brought back to Eu-
rope in the train of Alexander the
Great, when he, by burning the library
of Persepolfs, practically destroyed the
original books of the faith.
The sun or the fire that is worshiped
is not God, but the symbol of God.
The God of Zoroaster is Ahura- mazda,
or Ormazd, the one God, who is a trim
ity, and he is named II AM and II
Am the I Am" 1t is also taught that
there are seven spirits below the trim
ity.
Fire is a symbol of God in every re-
Iigion and is found on every altar in
some form.
In former years the priest could
bring down fire at will, to ignite the
spices and sandalwood on the altar,
and then, enveloped in the spiritual
fire that shone around him, teach the |
people with power and with truth. Bat |
now that power is lost, and fire is |
either obtained by waiting patiently |
year after year until lightning strikes |
and sets fire to the prepared fagot, or
the fire is collected from all the affairs |
N the vicinity and the fagots set on |

times over that the essence of the fire

The daily life is summed up as pure
words pure thoughts, pure deeds, and

and their duties are recognized. The

arrogance; the husbandman above ig

CHECKING HOSPITAL GRAFTERS.

he Charged 81. o q Day.

Any patient who has more than $50 value
In his possession when taken to Bellevue
and Allied Hospitals may be charged 81 so
. day for treatment in the institutions
according to IN order made yesterday.
This charge will be continued only until
the person is reduced to $50. According
10 the hospital officials TOO many who are
able to pay have been treated at the ex-
pense OF the city. Their presence has
congested the various charity hospitals
to the exclusion Of the needy poor.
DR.. >. T. Armstrong, general medical
superintendent of Bellevue and Allied
Hospitals. brought the matter to the atten-
ton Of the board Of trustees recently when
IL was learned that visiting physicians had
been sending to the hospital patients who
could AFFORD TO pay. Corporation Counse
Pendleton was appealed to and gave it az
his opinion in effect that any person might
be required to pay il payment did not
work a hardship and circumstance war
ranted a charge.
A meeting of the board of trustees Of
Bellevue was held last week and the charge
and method fixed for determining whether
or not a person could afford TO pay for
treatment.
DR.. Armstrong last night said: This
action is taken merely to make more room
for the needy poor. Commissioners Hebberd
Of the Department Of Charities is doing the
a. me thing. Many persons were getting
medical attention who could we'll afford TO
pay. There's no reason why they should
come to a hospital reserved for the poor

eighth street station Quarrel.

Commissioner Bingham sought yesterday
to put an end to the trouble that has dis-
turbed the West Sixty-eighth street police
station since Lieut.. Solomon Hauptmsn
got at loggerhesds with plain clothes men
Devsnney and Cabill. Gen. Bingham trans
ferred all three from the precinct. Haupt-
man was sent to East io4th street, Devanney
to East Twenty-second street and Cshill
TO Mercer street. Both. Devanney and
we're reman ded to patrol duty.
The two detectives were on trial last
Thursday on a charge Of refusing to obey
Hauptman, who ordered them TO close a
saloon on a Sunday night. D~evanney and
Cahil made a counter charge against
Hauptman OF using indecent language IN
them. Commissioner Bingham dismissed
all the complaints, as IL appeared hat the
trouble was the result Of a personal diff
ference.
Detective Devanney was not charged
with grating and nothing was brought
out at the trial tending TO show that there
was the slightest suspicion in that respect.
He was specifically charged with violating
a rule Of the department in refusing e to obey
the command Of a superior officer, and that
charge was dismissed.
