momentarily seized with faint, be-
came hysterical, and had to be re-
moved to neighboring residence,

SHE HAD LAND TO SELL.
French Woman Calls on the Secretary
of the Navy.

Washington, April 3.-An offer to
sell forty thousand acres of land on
the ocean and near Guantanamo bay
for use in connection with the naval
station has been made by Mime, Xavier
Rozier of Bordeaux, France.
This offer has recalled the stirring
incidents attending the seizure of the
Virginius. Nine. Rozier is the daugh-
ter of Robert Mason, British vice con-
sui at Santiago de Cuba at the time of
the seizure of the Virginius, and 1t was
he who interceded in behalf of both
British and American citizens, saving
the lives of many of them during the
exciting times of 1873. The land now
ofered was the property of Vice Con-
sui Mason, who died several years ago.
and left it to his daughter.
AS the government now owns be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 acres of land
at the Guatanamo naval station it is
doubtful whether any negotiations to
acquire more acreage will be under
taken. During the last session of con-
gress great hostility was shown to-
ward the development of a naval sta
ton at Guantanamo, it being claimed
by southern senators that such de-
velopment would divert work from the
Charleston, S. c., and the New Or
leans, La, navy yards
The proffer of this property to the
government was made personally by
Nine. Rozier today when she called to
see the secretary of the navy AL
though the daughter of a British con-
cular officer, Nine. Rozier speaks but
little English, her mother being a
Cuban. No price was put upon the
property.

CRITICIzES THE BIBLE.
Professor Sharman Takes Exceptions
to the Present Version.

Chicago, April 3.-Higher criticism
points than that advanced by Prof.
George b. Foster. is voiced by Prof.
Henry B. Sharman, instructor in New
Testament history and literature in
the University of Chicago divinity
school, in a book on 1.-THE Teaching of
Jesus About the Future" issued from
the university press.
Professor Sharman, in an exhaus-
tive consideration of the gospels of
Matthew, Mark and Luke, reduces
much of the contention of these books
to what he considers garb1ed reports
of ChristS sayings, false interpretati ton
of Chris views by outside influences,
false messages concerning future life
and future punishment and unau-
thentic tales of ChriSt's life. He casts
doubt upon the chief tenets of the
orthodox church, which he regards as
the products of wrong Interpretation
of the New Testament.
That Jesus did not preach the doc
trine of heaven" and "helP' and the
"day of judgment" and did not COM
mission His disciples to preach the
gospel, are among the professors as
sertions. He divides the material OF
the synoptic gospels into what Jesus
probably said,'' what the earliest edi-
tors of the gospels thought He said
saying" and what later editors
thought it best to represent Him as
saying"
