Unforeseen complications arise.
Audiences have not been Officially sus-
pended, but the attending physicians have
agreed to discourage receptions of any
kind until the Pontif has recovered his
strength. In view Of his present weak

 It's a vicious lie," he shouted
 Mulhall denied that he ever offered the correspondence to two magazines or to the New York Times. He denied having made statement to Richard Barry who was representing him, that the manufacturers association would pay $150,000 for the documents if they could not be disposed of to papers or magazines.
 Mulhall denied that he agreed Barry should sell the letters to the New York World for $10,OOO, and that he should be content with S5.OOO; but later he testified that at Barry's sug- gestion he did agree. He never paid Barry.

Fl. L. Wilson's Advice Liked-Execu- tive Holds Recognition Would Set
 Bad Precedent.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Serious fric- tion impending between the foreign relations committee and President Wilson and his secretary of state threatens to complicate the entire Mexican situation.
 The senate committee, it became known, was seriously impressed by Henry Lane Wilson's appeal for rec ognition of Huerta. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have taken the position that under no circumstances will they recognize Huerta. They con- sider that his connection with the death of President Madero makes this impossible. The position of the ad- ministration is that to do so would establish a precedent so that when any prominent man of the Central and South American countries became dis satisfied with the elected ruler he could kill him, set up a de facto gov ernment of his own and demand Amer ican recognition.
 The president and secretary of state want to let matters remain as they are until the Mexican influences now at work can see whether they can reconcile the warning clements The senate committee is understood to de- mand immediate action of some kind.
 It is understood that the president will insist on his own policy being followed out, and this insistence may result in the first real fight between the administration and the majority in the senate Unless the president consents to act immediately in Mexico his course is certain to be brought up for consideration on the floor Of the senate There is sharp criticism in the senate cloakroom of the adminis- tration's delay, but, although he knows this, the president has refused to be hurried. He wants a peaceful solu- tion if possible.
 The president has been told by ex- perienced army officers just what toll intervention may be expected to take. He realizes that it would take five years and an enormous army to bring about a permanent peace in Mexico, and 1t was believed that he would in- sist on being permitted to try out his plans in his own way.

 Men and women around the saucer knelt down and prayed. Some tried to fight their way into the flames, which drove them back.
 Men took off their coats and, hold ing them in front of. their faces for protection, fought to get through the wall of fire, only to be forced back. Then somebody found the chemical extingusher and began to play it on the flames. Finally the fire died down and then was made the accounting of the toll in the saucer.

QUERY WHETHER MULHALL WAS FIRED AS POLICEMAN CAUSES
 CENSORSHIP.
0vERMAN UPH0LDS SENATOR
Holds Questions Are Designed to Throw Mud at Witness Instead of Shedding Any Light
 Upon the Case.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Martin M. Mulhall's cross-examination by attor- neys for the National Association of Manufacturers before the senate lob by committee opened up with a lively row between Senator Reed and Attor- ney Robert McCarter. McCarter in- sisted on asking questions himself: Senator Reed insisted that all ques tions should go through the commit tee. Chairman Overman ruled with Senator Reed.
 McCarter precipitated the outbreak by asking Mulhall If he had not been discharged from the Cleveland police force 10 years ago for violation of a state law. Mulhall replied he was dis. missed for political reasons, and de- manded counsel.
 T was advised by friends to refuse to answer he exclaimed. "I want counsel. l insist on it and refuse to go on until 1 have it. I'll go to jail before I'll answer questions about my personal affairs 30 or 40 years ago"
 Instead of being designed to throw light on this case, many of these ques- tions are designed to throw mud at the witness declared Senator Reed
 This is m investigation, not a trial insist you have not the right to say word" he concluded, address ing McCarter.
 Muhall withdrew his demand for counsel and the hearing proceeded, With the attorneys submitting their questions to Chairman Overman.

close proximity to the female the
wind fertilizes the plant and brings
forth the seed. This we do know to
be fact. If it was not for the plant
life of the earth this world would be
a decidedly unpleasant place to live
in. Plants are very essential to the
makeup of The Beauty of The Earth.
If plants are not necessary to make
the earth beautiful, why do people
go to the time and expense of planting
trees, flowers, etc., to beautify their
home surroundings? w hy every
spring, does the institution florists
spend days in making flower beds
within this enclosure?, To make the
grounds as beautiful as possible, of
course.
Third: Mountains. To realize the
beauty of mountains and hills all
one needs to do is to visit in some
parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas, to fully understand the
absence of these. Where you look
miles upon miles in any direction
and see nothing but rolling prairie,
nothing to mar your vision but few
prairie dog mounds, a small sized
hill would be a welcome sight, let
alone mountain. Go to Colorado
Rocky Ford, for instance-and
one of the first things you are asked
is if you have seen Pixies Peak"
Being stranger you would prob
ably say, not yet, but l intend Wis
iting there before returning home.
No need to go that far, look off in
the distance and Pixies Peak is
very much IN evidence, though
almost one houndred and fifty miles
away. Your reason for visiting
Pixies Peak may be only for the
purpose of saying you have seen it,
but you will not leave there without
having it impressed upon your mind
that it is a wonderful piece of Ma
ture's art. Take the scenic railway
running to its top and you will see
things beyond your widest imag-
ination. But whatever you do take
an overcoat along. 1t may be
one hundred in the shade at the foot
but it is likely to be showing at the
top.
Now to sum up: II all the mount
aims, hills, plants and birds were sud
denly, by some unforeseen power,
wiped off the earth, would it still be
beautiful? This old earth would be
what noted General said about war
if this was to come to pass. Visit

Greek View of Man S
Relation to the
Gods
Nil Desparandun.


Paoer Read Before the ChdutauQua Circle
What we ordinarily believe,
when we speak of religion, is a
stated set of doctrines, of more or
less metaphysical character, form
ulated in creed and supported by
an organization distinct from the
state. In considering the religion
of the Greeks, the first thing we
learn is, that it includes nothing Of
the kind. There is no church, no
creed, no articles. not even doc
trine. The priest were ordinary
public officials to perform certain
religious rites"
In trying to conceive the mind OF
Lrimitive man, the first thing that
occurs to us is the terror and be-
wilderment he must have felt in the
presence of the forces OF nature.
Defenceless, naked, houseless, he ia
at the mercy every minute of some
thing foreign and hostile to himself.
He asked himself what is this strange
unnameable thing, and after much
reasoning concludes it is something
like himself. Every power OF ma
ture he thinks to be spiritual be-
ing, lmpersonating the sky as Treus.
the earth as Demeter the sea as
Poseidon; after time nature has
become company of spirits. Thus
conceived, the world has become
less terrible, became more familiar.
The Gods at times were hostile to
him, but at least they had a nature
like his own; when jealous they could
be appeased, the enmity of one
could be compensated by the friend
ship Of another. A belief in the
Gods. meant to the Greek, that he
would be at home in the world.
In place of incomprehensible things,
he was surrounded by beings like
himself.
We ask the question, did t h e
Greek religion touch the conscience
as we'll as the imagination and intel
lect? The answer is no. Therein
lies the difference between the Greek
and Christian religion. If we do
wrong we have our conscience to be
reckoned with, in the case of the
Greeks the conscience, stri tly
speaking, did not exist. The anal
ogy between the Greeks and some
of the present day African tribes is
the same in SO far that both have
Gods for different powers of Nature
and both make sacrifices to them in
order to appease them when angry
To the Christians the inward re-
lation of the soul to God is every
thing, to the Greek nothing, i
would have been at variance will
his whole conception of the Devin,
power.
The Gods of Greece were being
like man, not in spiritual or mora
attributes, but in outward gifts
sach as strength, beauty and immor
atty. Taking these facts int
consideration it will be seen that tn
Greek conception of man to tn
Gods was external and mechanical
while the Christian relations ar
inward and spiritual.
There were no possibilities o
knowing what God might want o
do, if man got into trouble, per
haps, he had offended some one, bu
it was not an easy matter to find ou
who that some one was. If b
neglected the usual observance
