THE NEW buildings Of the Union The
illogical Seminary,in New York, were
described last nignt by President jacob
G. Schurman, OF Cornell University,
who spoke at the dedicatory exercises
now in progress as striking expression
OF the spirit Of. religious progress, >
which he declared, however, was larger
than an institution Among other
things he said:
Whether we like it or not, a change
is taking place in the attitude Of rci'st-
Gus men. The theological student who
wants to improve the conditions Of 50
ciety must master the social sciences
and especially the sciences Of econo-
mics and government. Scientific work
ers in all fields arc the sagcs OF our
twentieth century. They have made 1t
impossible for the men Of this genera
ton to regard dogmas rs their fathers
regarded them. To make belief, for
example, in the history of the Jews 4
condition OF the salvation OF y human
soul is in this scientific age OF the world
not only physical impossibility, but
an intellectual absurdity and IN out
rage on free moral personality.
The Bible is gradually being cllmi-
mated from the colleges and Theological
seminaries OF the world.

ed from members Of the American bat
tleslip feet now anchored at Brest and
Cherbourg give details of the recent
troubles the American sailors have had
in those ports on account of the rapacity
of even thieyery OF French traders and

Not only have the American soldiers
been charged four and five times the
ordinary price for everything. but spur
ous French money has been passed on
them in quantities.
Even the French newspapers have
realized the folly Of killing the goose
that lays the golden egg, and have
urged that robbery Of Americans stop,
else tourists will shun France. 1t is con-

please the child, Mrs. Nash tied her on
the back OF one Of the farm horses and
mounted another herself to make tho
tip.
Hardly had they started, however,
when the child began to slide off the
horses back. The ropes slackened
with the motion OF the animal and the
little one was soon hanging head down,
under the horses belly. The frightened
animal could not be stopped, and ran
on down the road to the Raisch home,
the frantic mother following on the
other horse as fast as she could ride,
screaming for help.
When the horse was caught, and the
child released the child was dead. Her
head had been frightfully cut and
