Spring Valley, were destroyed by fire on Tues
day night, causing loss Of about $500, which

NEW YORK, June 19.-The man who made the unfortunate statement that the diet of cannibals is the most ration al because it offers to the body what if needs in the easiest assimilable form, probably never imagined how much dust it, would kick up in scientific and unscientific circles. It is safe to say that no scientist really took that re- mark seriously, but when the unlearned crowd became hysterical at the mere thought of the suggestion supposed to be implied in the utterances, the men of science considered it their duty to don their spectacles and skull-caps and enter into critico-analytical discus sion of the subject, just as if it had been meant seriously. Every day the newspapers are deluged with literary contributions from mostly Incompetent critics who express horror at the in humanity and barbarism of the sup posed advocate of cannibalism.
 Quite apropos pf this acrimonious discussion of the advisability and diet etic merits of canniablism the papers gave considerable space the other day to farewell dinner given to number of missionaries on the eve of their de parture for the wilds of darkest Africa There is gruesome suggestiveness II giving missionaries good meal before sending them to tribes who do not con slider cannibalism mere joke and prae tice it without, for sing.e moment worrying over it's ethical aspect.

In his address to the graduating class Of St. Agnes school in Albany he charac- terized the thew woman' as freak and the woman suffrage campaign as a "hysterical clamor employed in the pursuit of chimera." In fact, he eX- pressed himself with far greater sever ity and called the thew woman' a "lusus uaturae, monstrum horren- dun informe' or some such thing equally horrible and shocking. Since then the remarks of Bishop Doane have been severely criticized by sutfragettes and even by some persons not in favor of the suflragette movement. One oi the latter critics remarked in an inter view: "The remarks of Bishop Doant were, to say the least, highly undipio matic. Most men share the bishop'' opinion, but they are too diplomatic or, call it chivalrous, to express them selves so bluntly.'
