MODERATION MATTHEWS. HERETIC HUNTER, WILL
 BE 45 TOMORROW

Rev. Mark Allison Matthews, of Seattle, moderator of the Presbyterla91n1 Church in the United States, VIII celebrate his forty-ffth birthday to- morrow In twenty-five years he has risen from the pastorate of coun- try town church in Georg1a to the nomina ation with a total membership of 1,339,OOO. Since his recent cleo ton as moderator of the ~Presbyter- ians of the United States he has gain ed further fame as a thereSay hunt er' and has brought to an issue the internal strife that has long been the conservatives who remain true to the old doctrines and the progres- sives'' who hold that the church should keep step with the develop ments of modern science and cr1ti- ciSm.
 MT Matthews has aligned himself the "o1d time reIigion,' and in the course of an address before the Inter national Bible Conference last month he called to account those who pre- tend to believe in the resurrection of Christ, but who so explain it eo deprive it of any of it's literal reality He followed with a bitter attack on Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of The Out look, in which he said:
 Perhaps some of you young minis ters study The Outlook and think yourselves very wise. If ever there was a publication edited by heret1cS The Outlook is that sheet. It is edited by a bunch of heretics: if you con tinue to read it you will have theo- logical meningitis sociological neu- ritis and political gastritis."
 Such an application of the nomen- cIature of medical science to the al ready formidable denunciatory voca- bulary of theology naturally attract ed international attention, especially as Dr. Abbott's editorial associates, denominated a bunch of heretics, includes no less a parsonage than Col. Theodore Roosevelt The, Colonel and orthodox in the matter of relig- ion. He it was whose enthusiasm for the true faith led him to refer to back even when confronted with evidence by the late Dr. Moncure an atheist. That Col. Roosevelt, him self a hunter of heretics, should be included in "a bunch of heretics,' has naturally aroused the indignation of his political supporters.
 Mark Allison Matthews, who cauS- ed all the commotlon in political ana religious circles, is native of Geor- gia, having been born at Calhoun on Sept. 24, 1867. At nineteen he be- came famous in his section as a "boy preacher" and he was only twenty when he was ordained in the Presby terian ministry. He built the First Presbyterian Church in his native village, and was it's pastor for five years. Then he was called. to Dalton, Tenn. He studied law and was ad rnitted to the bar in 1900, and in the same year was given the degree of D. D. Ten years ago he went to Seattle, Wash, where he became the pastor of the First Church, said 60 be the largest Presbyter1an church in the world. He married in Seattle the daughter of Rev. Owen Jones, a Welsh minister Dr. Matthews is a York and Scottish Rite Mason, a m nber of several Seattle clubs and prominent in social and religious cir cIes of the Washington State metro polls As an orator he has few equals in the Presbyterian denomination.

ity that he soon gained many follow CTS. Cribb was forced to accept the challenge, and the first meeting be- tween the pair was held in an open field the latter part of 1S1O
 In the ring the champion lowered above the negro, but the muscular de- velopment of Molineaux's arms and shoulders showed to advantage It was cold and rainy day, but thou sands of shivering spectators gathered about the rude ring. Molineaux sent over the first blow. but Cribb came back strong, and during the first few rounds the white man had all the best of it. The spectators were beginning g their fears that the title might go to America were forgotten, when in the ninth round the tide of battle sudden ly changed Cribb went down in the ninth, and in the following rounds the champion was again and again sent to the ground. Mo1ineaux's packers were offering five to one with no talk CTS, when in the tWenty-eighth round the white man was knocked uncon- scious and stayed down long after the count. The fight belonged to the Am erican but the champions seconds started a wrang1e, and finally bluffed the referee into ordering the battle continued. Cribb had meanwhile re- him down, but fell himself and struck his head on a post. After this he de- c1ared he could not continue, and the decision was given to Cribb A re- turn match was arranged, but Molin- eaux was knocked out. with a broken jaw. and abandoned his championship aspirations.

Who Wants inc Town Farm?

The alnshouse is about what it has been for many years 1t is not buiding and it could be adapted for the purposes of it's
 Many of the objections to it could be overcome by erecting building for special purposes. building for the insane although would much better if persons removed altogether from the town farm There the almhouse special facilities for handling insanity and that duty should be performed elsewhere
 There too many indications, however that plan regarding the present ashouse will be satisfactory that proposes do anything upon the se the site of the existing building.
 There is plenty of and evidence to show that after the amhouse is orderedif ishe old ashouse and the and large part of the land that surrounds it. will be sold to private persons.
 The sudden and mysterious enthusiasm for the fort of the poor which is exhibited by divers gentlemen who displayed much interest in the poor before accounted for blythe theory that powerful and interested private persons want to acquire the town farm,
 The same kind of interest, from substantially similar has been earlier displayed when the New Haven railroad desired to acquire large portion of Bridgeport harbor, and when others looked longnglv the rich property in which the public library is located
 In all of these there those who sincerely who appearance sincerity the proposals
 It is possible that situation may present where it will be wise to sell the alshouse private person. the matter should be argued it's merts and not after the hypocritical fashion FEIGNED INTEREST in the poor

won't be allowed to use the bridge after it is built unless it pays some thing toward the cost
 The time to see what the Connecti- cut company will pay, is not after the bridge is built. but before
 After the bridge is built will be too late. The law provides for a settle ment before building
 The citizens may see that the bond ing proposals are fishy They will do well to vote, Tuesday, in large numbers
 A NO" vote will stop the whole sad business.
 There are reasons why a No vote should be cast, even if the projects were in themselves acceptable.
 It does not follow because something is needed that cannot be immediately paid for. that city desires to pay for it. in the hardest way.
 The fifty year bond is the hardest way
 Mayor Wilson's proposals are for AO-A5 @OA AAi NOA1Oo' 11O WdAlS lO lay debt upon the city, and he wants to do it in the way that will press most heavily upon the taxpayers
 He is not satisfied that the citizens should pay once for their improve ments or one and a quarter times He wants them to pay twice; twice for bridges, twice for sewers, twice for aImshouse and twice for everything else
 Vote NO"
 Nor can the citizens afford to en- courage, by an affirmative ballot, such methods as the Mayor has used. That he who favors most the project to create an enormous debt should him. self take over the election ma chinery, should personally instruct the political workers to ''get busy" and should per sonally arrange an election entirely stripped of the protection of law, is a precedent that must not become es- tabiished
 Vote stNo''

ARE OUR TAXPAYERS PREPARED TO RUIN
 THE OYSTER INDUSTRY
 AND PAY THE OWNERS?

'|We understand that there are some oyster beds near them. We have no exact knowledge thereof, but will state that a reasonable cost for acquiring the use of such grounds will be slight compared with the cost of Altering sewage on land.-Report of Herring & Fuller, recommending $3,OOO, 900 sewer project to Bridgeport.
 The cost of buying these oyster beds will be inflicted on tho city if Mayor Wilson's sewer proposal is adopted.
 To pump the sewage of Bridge port into the oyster beds would be to ruin the oyster industry in this neioIlborhood.
