IMMORTALITY.

The two greatest facts that confront man
are life and death. In nature they appear
az an alternate series. The life and beauty
Of spring are succeeded by the fading and
death of winter. But this white sepulchre
only proves fostering cradle in which
worn out nature is resuscitated into all the
charm and vigor of new life, and in this
alternate series the process goes on forever.
Nature then does not die, but is invested
with immortality.
Mans death, contrariwise, is shrouded
in mystery. No mortal ken can follow the
spirits trackless path.
Are there, then, any means by which we
can get light on this great question of i'm
mortality? Are there reasonable grounds
for the trust that we shall survive death?
Philosophy is not against it, for the
greatest philosophers have believed in it.
Science brings affirmative testimony to it.
The modern law of the conservation of
force shows no loss or destruction of force
or matter. Energy changes, but does not
die. Evolution points to constant un-
folding and progress to higher forms of
being. The overmastering desire for i'm
mortality is one of the strongest grounds
for the future life. Just as the lens of the
eye points to a world to be seen, or the
wing of bird indicates an aerial medium
for flight, SO conclusively does the desire
for continued existence prophesy its reali-
ty. Nature is not lie. She does not
taunt US with false promises.
The vitality of the spirit in advanced
years is another argument. "The soul
does not age with the body" wrote Emer-
son. A normal man or woman grows in
wisdom, spirituality, sympathy, tender
ness, charm and moral beauty, so that it
is true of such, sat evening time there
shall be light Such lovely personalities
only seem to die. The husk and shell falls
from them, but we feel that their spirits
cannot but live on beyond the grave, be-
You'd the worlds.
Strong corroborations as are these, they
are not decisive. We crave for absolute
assurance upon a matter of such vital
moment. And it can come only from one
source-revelation Should not God speak
to those to whom He has given this ire
pressible longing and settle it with word
of certainty? And 80 the Scripture as
sures US that he has done. "Jesus Christ
hath abolished death and brought life and
Immortality to light" He declared the
great truth that call live unto Cod" Ou1
eyes see death, but God knows only life
and sees death but to be phase of life.
Death is, then but a stage of develop.
ment. We enter the future very much az
we have left the present life.
In the light of this great truth of i'm
mortality, what grandeur attaches to life
How intellectually it is increased in value
when we see it under the aspect of eternity
What care one should have to his act
when they are seeds reaching out into un
dying ages! How different become GU
aims and plans when they are not to b.
broken by death but to be carried forward
on larger scale hereafter!

TEhEMENTS IN
BADCONDITIONS
Health Board Inspector
States His Opinion.

That many tenement houses in
this city are in a filthy condition,
and that many violations of the
health code are being committed in
family houses was the opinion of a
health officer given TO a NEWS rep
resentative last night. When the
new board meets Tuesday night, it
is probable that the commissioners
will advise Immediate inspection OF
all the residences and particularly of
the tenement houses. Excepting for
this work. there is nothing special
for the commissioners to act on
when the new term begins.
At present I~nspectator Anton J.
Mikalajczek is inspecting cellars OF
stores. Food stuffs have already
been condemned in several CELLAR
and strict orders for their cleanliness
have been given.
The most important business at
the first meeting Of the new board
which will be held Tuesday night,
will be the election OF president.
From all indications Harvey Sell will
be the choice. The board ia now
comprised OF two Democrats and
five Republicans. Commissioner Leo
Schwartz, of the minority. who Is Al
present chairman of the most i'm.
portant committee, that of Milk ano
Foods will only consent to accept the
nomination for president of the
board If there is no opposition. But
as Mr.. Sell has looked upon the posi-
ton favorably since 1t has been sug-
gested to him, it is believed that Mr..
Schwartz will not oppose him.

'CIVE IDENTITY
OF DEAD MAN
Samuel F. Hall Cousin OF
Former Lumber Dealer.

Samuel f. Hall, thirty-eight years
old, a native cf this city and who
was a cousin of William Hall and
Samuel Hall, a former lumber yard
owner here, was killed instantly at
Greendale, Mass, yesterday morning.
He was horribly crushed between an
elevator and the side of a wall at
the new administration building in
that city. Word was dispatched to
the home of his brother, Charles H.
Hall, at GIT Watching avenue,
Plainfield, and to this city yesterday
afternoon. Details were lacking and
for a time there was much question
ing as TO which Samuel Hall it was.
The victims young wife is highly
grief stricken. Some of the details
of the accident have not been told to
her for fear that the effects might
become fatal.
Samuel F. Hall lived with his
parents and other relatives in the
residence at PIT High street until
about twenty years ago. When kill
ed he was serving as chief engineer
for the North Company, where he
had worked four weeks. He became
caught between a moving elevator
and a heavy wall. His neck was
broken and his chest crushed so as
to cause instant death. A twenty
four-inch brick wall and a siX-inch
steel girder had to be removed to re-
lease the body. 1t required a crew
of men two hours to release the
body. Several of the workmen could
not endure the terrible sight and
quit.
Hall and his wife were boarding
at 656 Main street, Greendale. The
only witness to the accident was Carl
Christensen. The body was taken in
charge by relatives and will be re-
to Fishkill. N. Y, for inter-

has been a remarkable improvement
in the tone OF the press; second, that
there has been an equally remarkable
improvement in the tone OF politics.
But here are some things to be con-
sidered. As fair and careful a historian
as James Ford Rhodes condemns
Grants second administration as the
eminent. This administration was on
the side of Hayes, and half the people
of the country believed with an all
absorbing intensity of conviction that
the election was stolen. Nor is there
as yet a satisfactory ending to the old
controversy. Witness the debate that
has been going on recently between
Colonel Watterson and Senator Ed
munds.
Now. suppose that we were having
a similar struggle today INC test it by
the feeling displayed last year. Re-
member tn: pr%econvention campaign
with its very free use OF epithets. The
smile of Taft the son. which had once
been an asset, was turned against him
as the smile of Taft the father was
turned against him in the earlier time.
The exchange of bad names became
more more furious. After the re-
publican convention vas held the vir-
ulence increased, and if the Times cor
respondent were still alive he might
nave found some attractive new terms
with which to grace his vocabulary.
Suppose, again, that all this had led
up to such a contest for electoral votes
as occurred in 1876. Suppose that
there wero double returns from three
or foul states, charges of intimidation
against tin" federal authorities, a ma
jority of only one for the winning cam
didate, a firm conviction on the part
of half or more than half the people
that the election was stolen.
Probably human nature would have
taken quite as kindly to rough words
in 1923 as it did in 1867, and
we should rome of us be cold to the
passion of the time. But a little later
the heat would begin to disappear and
a new generation might wonder at the
passion of the old. There is, however,
no very great difference between the
generations. There is merely a time
for passion and a time for philosophi-
cal chillinesS.
