Frederic Drew Bond points out that
in estimating his character too little
attention Is bestowed on this phase
OF his work He finds that Poe enter
tanned In its broad outlines that idea
Of the changes and development Of the
world which goes, nowadays, by the
name Of the theory of evolution. On
February 3. ls48, Poe delivered, as a
lecture at the Society library of New
York, an abstract OF his speculations
on the material and spiritual uni
verse-its essence, origin. creation,
present condition and destiny. Short
ly afterward this was published by
Putnam under the title Eureka I"
After quoting the paragraphs from
Eureka In which Poe sums up his
theory OF cosmic development, Mr..
Bond says:
The statement Of Poe that hetero.
geneousness, brought about directly
through condensation. is proportional
with II forever, appears to contain the
germ Of Herbert SpeneeF's developed
formula Evolution Is a change from
an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity
to a definite coherent heterogeneity
through continuous dlfferentiations
and integrations Noteworthy, also
Is Poe's statement Of the correlation
between mental development and
physical organization
"It is improbable that Eureka had
any influence in preparing the way for
the reception Of evolutionary ideas
a little later; at the most such infu
eDce must have been Of the slightest
for though his work was early trans
lated into foreign languages, the failure
to and fitting recognition Of itp true
character, and the general obscurity
in which II has lain, seems to preclude
such q likelihood. Its interest lles
IN the light it throws on It's author
and in the honorable place It assigns
him IN that long line Of thinkers fron
Thales TO Darwin"

The status, then. OF Edgar Allan
Poe, so years after, is as follows:
Mr.. Edmund Clarence stedmaa
finds that Poe is read and held a.
a distinctive genius IN France, Spain.
Germany. Italy. Russia. Scandinavia
that the spell Of his art Is felt
wherever or own English speech goes
with the flags Of its two great over
lands"
Mr. Maarten Martens declares that
Poe Is "at the head OF American 1T
erature," and that Europe is quite
agreed. as it has been from the frst.
in recognizing the overshadowing
genius Of Edgar Allan Poe
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle looks upon
Poe "as the worlds supreme short
story writer" whose nearest rival
was Maupassant"
Charles Frederic stansbury pro.
nounces Poe "a brilliant genius to en-.
ulate the work Of whom is the despair
Of great minds and the confusion Of
I little ones.
Mr. Charles L. Moore tells us that
Poe was the least vulgar Of mortals,"
and that the total effect Of his work
is that Of loftiness and nobility"
Miss Myrtle Reed says that Pos
fought bravely against cruel odds"
Mr. Rupert Taylor finds that Poe
was @on every occasion devoted and
model husband"
Mr. Frederic Drew Bond points out
that Poe had a provision Of the doc
trine Of evolution and that "he is
entitled to an honorable place in that
long line Of thinkers from Thales a
Darwin"
This, then, is the testimony, on a.
rect examination, of the year 1907 ii
the case Of Edgar Allan Poe versus
those electors to the Hall Of Fame
who have, so far, withheld from him
their votes.

Standards, evidently, have changed
since Emerson referred to Poe as

has this to say Of Poes private life:
Poe took pleasure In the softer In
nuences Of home life, although there

was beagtifed by vines and towering

anything about the matter attested on
every occasion a devoted and model

story writer that they fail to realize
that he was also a profound apecula

LUMBER YARDS BURNED.
Loss at Biddeford, Me, Estimated at
 $3OO,OOO.

Biddeford, Me, Sept 15.-A spec tacular fire, which caused property loss estimated at $300,000, destroyed more than 15 acres of lumber yards, more than score of tenement buildings, several factories and some railroad property early to-day, on both sides of the Saco river, in the cities of Saco and Biddeford. A brisk wind famed small fire in a pile of shavings in the lumber yard of George A. Crossman & Sons, on the Saco side, until it reached ex- tensive proportions, destroying a million feet of lumber in the Cross man yards and the box shook fac tory of the concern, before it com- municated to IS tenement houses. The flames were swept by the wind across the Saco river, destroying the extensive lumber yards of the Dia- mond Match company.
 On the Biddeford side of the river a half dozen tenement houses fell prey to the flames, but no per. sons are known to have been burn- ed. More than 40 families were rendered homeless.
 By 8 a. m., the fire had burned itself out,

Hughes in the Lead.

Saratoga, Sept 15.-By noon ap- parently all opposition to the renom- ination of Governor Hughes had gone. State Chairman Woodruff said at 12:30 that Governor Hughes will be renominated on the first bal lot. Senator White will be the nom- inee for lieutenant-governo and Mayor Gaus for comptroller.
 By II o'clock the conviction was widespread that the opposition had gone to pieces" and that while there might and probably would be con tinued efforts up to the last minute to find some one upon whom to unite. the battle was really over. The anti Hughes allies" wore the air of beaten men.
 It was stated upon authority that no cablegram had been sent to Dr Hill, and that therefore mo answer" was expected. It was further said that at last nights conference Mir Root made It plain to the conference that the national leaders were most desirous of the nomination of Gov ernor Hughes.
 The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock. After the reading of the platform and the report of the credential committees, nominations for governor were called for. Frank Cook placed in nomination the name of James w. Wadsworth, Jr. Will liam Barnes of Albany seconded the nomination.

CARNEGIE NOTE
He Says That the Emperor Ot Germany Can Stop War
 AwoDg the NaIj0DS
HAS ONLY TO SPEAK

Berlin, Sept 5,-Andrew Carnegie has written a letter from Skibo cas- tie, Scotland, to Representative Rich- ard Bartholdt of Missouri, president of the American Group of lnterpar- liamentary union, which convenes in this city September IT, in which he says:
 I cannot escape the conclusion that the abolition of war among civilized nations as mode of settling inter- national disputes is very easily ac- complished. There will be one man in Berlin while your congress is in session who has only to speak the word. The emperor of Germany has 1t in his power to abolish war among civilized nations. All he has to do is to ask Great Britain, France and the United States to unite with him in declaring that since the world has contracted to "neighborhood' and is in constant and instantaneous communication one part with anoth- CT, the interchange of products be- tween them amounting to thousands of millions a year, the time has pass ed when any one civilized nation can be permitted to break that peace in which all are so deeply interested International disputes must be settled by arbitration.
 Neither of the three countries named could afford to reject this in- viation and the emperor would have performed a service to the world un- equalled by any human being that ever lived.
 Whether his majesty is to fail in this great mission and pass into his tory as one of long line of rulers not men of achievements, but only of title, or to awake some morning to his duty and perform his mission we cannot tell, but l shall hope that the angel of the Lord will appear unto him.

Police Arc DskiD9 . Syslemalle Hunt For Eslber Hilbert Who
 Bss Disappeared.

Northampton, Mass, TSept 15.- Search was resumed Carly to-day for Miss Esther A. Hilbert, the young woman who disappeared from the summer home of her parents in Chesterfield on Sunday. The search to-day was under the direction of Major James Mckay of the Massa- chusetts district police, assisted by Deputy Sheriff Allen of Huntington, and Policeman Nichols of Chester- field, number of citizens also joined in the search. Miss Hilbert is the daughter of John Hilbert of Jamestown, a suburb of Philadels phia. All day yesterday efforts were made to find trace of the missing girl but nothing was found. Mrs Hilbert refuses to accept any sus. picion that her daughter commit- ted suicide. There are no ponds in the vicinity and the water in the westfield river, a mile and a half distant is so low as to preclude sui- eide by drowning without almost im- mediate discovery.
 On the other hand, the nearest railroad station, Williamsburg, Is 10 miles distant. Miss Hilbert did not leave town by stage and no one can be found who saw her after she left her home without hat or wraps, Sum day morning.
