PROF. GEORGE 3. FOSTER.

The Baptist minister. Rev. George
Chicago University endowed by John
D. Rockefeller. was exonerated from
the charges Of heresy by the ministers
of his denomination last Monday after
several hours flibustering in confer
ence. The charges, preferred by Rev.
W.. A. Matthews. to the effect that
Prof. Foster was an atheist, an UNI
desirable minister and A plagarist
were practically ignored. Rev. Thur
ston Myers urged charges of heresy
against Prof: Foster, who was absent
and he resigned from his executive
positions In the church when the
case was disposed Of in favor of the
latter. DR.. Myers sensibly observed:
II believe that any man has the in
alienable right to think and preach as
he believes. But do not think that
he has the right to assail the creed
and sacred precepts Of any church body
and still remain a part of that body.
If he Is a Unitarian or has any other
faith and from that standpoint say
what he desires"
When a reporter for the Inter- Ocean
interviewed Prof. Foster after his &C
quittal and asked If he is a Unitarian
he Is alleged to have said:
II am charged with being crazy. but
that is not conclusive. No, I am not
a Unitarian. The fact that I am sup
plying In Unitarian church does not
establish my faith. am a Baptist
and always will be. have preached
In Jewish synagogues and Catholic
churches. but I am not of either faith
I will preach before any congregation
which will let me say what believe
and listen to me. That is the mission
of the church. II we preached only to
those of our own church, how many
conversions would there be? would
preach to a congregation Of atheists
and not lose my own faith by such
connections"
1t Is rather improbable, and almost
incredible, that Prof. Foster has ever
preached on religious subjects in Cath
Ollie churches. From a Catholic point
Of view he is far from being orthodox.
He denies the divinity of Christ and
says that God did not make man in
His own image, but man made God in
his image" He calls the Bible 1.-THE
petrified remains Of the Christian re-
ligion," and declares that "to COPY
Jesus now is to kill the SOUL" Not
withstanding these utterances he re-
mains minister in good standing in
the Baptist church and can teach theo-
logical students In the Chicago Uni
versity!
The Irish Standard cares little about
Prof. Fosters belief or unbelief, ex-
cept as a matter Of news. That he
ever preached his atheistic doctrines
under the auspices Of any Catholic
church we do not believe for a mo-
ment. He has had little respect for
the Catholic church. judging from an
article under his signature in last Sun
days Chicago Tribune. in which he
says:

The Smicksburg Quadrangle, Surveyed
by the Federal Survey and the
State Co ooperatively.

The u s. Geological Survey has re-
Gently published a map called the
Smicksburg quadrangle covering a
portion Of western Pennsylvania, lying
between Punxsutawney and Dayton and
comprising about 225 square miles In
Armstrong, Indiana and Jefferson coun-
ties. This completes the mapping Of
an interesting section Of country as the
adjoining quadrangles on three sides
are also available, the Punxsutawney,
Indiana aud Rural Valley.
This region Is we'll watered fertile
country with prosperous agricultural
population. The principal towns are
Dayto Smicksburg, Plumville, Saga
more, Marion Center, Covode, Horatio,
Perryville and Ringgold. Its great
est wealth, however, Is In the large
amount of coal, oil and gas found In
many places. The Punxsutawney- Wal
ston coal mines which lie partially in
this quadrangle are one Of the old and
we'll known fields. a new field, just
being extensively opened up at
Sycamore is equipped with strictly
modern, high.class plant. Many small
ler miues are being operated with
limited capital and equipment On the
northern edge of the map is found the
Ringgold gas field from which large
quantities of natural gas are being
piped to Pittsburgh and adjoining
cities.
TIE Mahoning and Little Mahoning
creeks are the principal streams shown
on this map. They join near Smicks-
burg and flow northwest finally emp
ting into the Allegheny river. These
streams are much polluted with sulphur
water from the mines but could be
utilized for power development to a
considerable extent.

THE VASTNESS OF
THE PENNSYLVANIA
Interesting Facts Cleaned From
Recently Published Report of
the Great System.

Some idea OF the vastness Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad system and its
vital relationship to the territory
which its lines traverse may be gath
cred from figures In the annual "Record
OF Transportation Lines issued April
10th by the Maintenance of Way De-
partment Of the System. This pam
phlet shows that on December 81, 1908,
the Pennsylvania railroad controlled a
total of l1,235.Sl miles of line and
%, 977 Al miles of tracks,
The total population of the union
January /, 1909, according to the esti-
mates Of the Governors OF the respec-
tive states, was S9,77O,126, and that Of
the states through which lines of the
Pennsylvania Railroad run 1885, ,522-
almost exactly half the total.
Reports compiled by the Company
show that during 1908 the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad carried l42,676,779 pas
sengers-an average of over three trips
for every inhabitant of the states
through which its lines run. Likewise,
during the year the company handled
1874, 429.54l tons Of freight over its
23,977. Al miles of track-an average OF
nearly eight tons to every person living
in the states it serves.
During the year the various compan-
les also carried 1851 ,36l ,092 passengers
one mile-which means tha, the COM
pany carried an average OF 3l6, ,09S pas
sengers over every mile of its liue. The
total freight conveyed one mile ag-
gregated 29,353,934, 1879 tons. or an
average of 6,2l6, $40 tons passing oyer
every mile of the company's line.
OF the total trackage of the system
14,0S9 rs miles are east OF Pittsburg
and Erie, while 9,SSI65 run west OF
those points. During 1908 the total
trackage increased 4O5 miles, while the
155 miles we're added to the total mile
age. The SYSTEMS lines now have 1926
miles of double track, 7S4 miles OF triple
track, while for 564 miles four tracks
have been laid. There are also S,065
miles OF sidings owned by the various
companies.
