" To 'Toil.ek" and puma others, but "Pollock" lirst, a a matter of course: No wonder the editor could not head us olF. I pave it up myself and, like Huxley, wasn't eure whether I was agnostic, free thought or "nutbin'." I tb 'light I stated what I believed in the startmz point, and yet cannot see why my ataten.tnta wero not in accordance with that belief. Jiecause I do not think the earth teaches exactly euch a personal (iodaawe are taught exists ; does not say tint neces-arily nothing teache a Go i. There may be forces not exactly earthly or known at leant in earth's conditions and laws which I do behove in. Iconoclasm may be a principle of my statements. I do not deny it. Imago breaking is very common and no truth was ever promulgated but what somebody's iinagt-a mut tail I do not think the statement I made of the earth and the life upon it will prove a soap bubble at all. It holds ita own proof in eyesight evidence, although new knowledge may enlargu it in the future. "When you know a thing, you know ii," "Pollock," ia a homely faying, but it is a true one. Suppose you and I found a strange cake and analyzed it, and we found that cake to consist of certain gases and certain atomic conditions which, going back an evolution or two, renolved themselves into peculiar primary forms, and we knew from previous knowledge of lome of the ingredients they never came into this condition without much bakicz. What we know of this cake ia no theory, but a truth. Now, when we tauzht what we knew of this cake, now could this teachinz lead to atheiam? Of course if we begin to quarrel over the particular form of the cook that made thia cake we might speculate in a way some mi?ht not think bit a belief that antiquity was in some way responsible for, but I question whetber'thev would not be much farther out oi the way than we, the debaters. You might take the orthodox view and declare the cook made this cake all at one tarn of ber band and out of nothing Besause if there ia a cake, necessarily thero must be a cook, forgettinz that in this line of argument kept np, you must account for the cook also, or say she created berstdf. WLi'elmizht take the oppocite to tbe orthodox and Fay that the cake gave evidence of itself, that it came by Blow progress and of many things and chances. Ita ingredients traced back to their primary forms are found to be imperishable, therefore in antithesis they always must have existed. This as opposed to your orthodox views you might deem atheistical, but is it? What ia there incompatible in th idea of a nevercreated atomic or gaseous state exieting pile by aide with a never-created spiritual inMlizenc? I th.nk the trouble with so many of ns Is that wo fail to ßo far enough. We want to laz back with old-time tradition and imperfection of knowledge. We are afraid to let go for fear we lose something. But I tell vou the gain is much greater. There Is nothing exactly perfect her and to aslume ther k is wrong. That Tvhich dimly gives us a glimpse or tlickring view of the spiritual ia laden with earth's imperfections of iij;bt. There are people who must believe that once iod reirned lonesome and alone over nothing and that out of nothing he formed all things, this world first, although that is not evident now. The bible, as far as I ran see, doe a not make this claim, "out of nothing." The first of Genesis, anonymous and lost as its first chapters are in misty antiquity, is a very good ancient description of the earth's forming, Some one, or maybe many, bad a pretty good knowledge, but they failed to know some Mmts ajxd statt them aright. It is nso-

lesa to deny this. And in the fact of this one should be very careful what they deem atheistical teaching. The truth of anything could never be that, in the meaning, at leata, given to the ttrni today. Yet, for ail this disagreement. I agree with vou in manv other ways, l'ollock." "Iven W. Fern." dou't tell me that you do not believe in d-bating such subject.- as religion, politics and medicino. "Iven," now "fess up," you know you do. Where would we be today if long and continual debate was not allowed on such suljectd. Oh! "Iven," "Iven," The Skntinki. would have to go out of busintfs and go to hod carrying. We must not shutdown on theeo three important subjects, the ino-t important in the world; thev are not perfect yet by any means. Ncr will they likely bo wtiilo man livt's upon thin earth. If no debate, bitter or ether ij-. had ever been allowed upon the::i, wo, in politic?, won d have been supporting a robber, baron, chiof, e'aves. viia.o-'s an 1 a rrown. In medicine we would have beon boiling a frog's liver, a n.bbit'ri toe and u four-leaved clover, p lucked in the light of the moon, together and giving it in minuP dosei for the) cure of gome dauuerotn di-ennu, and rt-liion too, Why, even if evervbodv had a tender ret-pect for everybody's belief in this that in, soine of tin main opinions they think really mean a re igion wo would consider it the most logitiniAto thing yet to be ail nvmg a jnio of th most absurd und wicked things tinder th sun in the niwne of religion. Christ did not think debating thesu question much t ut of the way. lie began di.-puting very voting, and if we couid only know the re'Miünr run of his disputes very likely we have r-or.e today very 1 ; k r them tho Sunday question, for inptarice. Ileligioii, po itica r;d medicine belong to the world. Tb y w ro here before we were, and will bo wben wo are gone. They are- no mati's private property, nor should any man pet any syt-tera of them down as Lis personally and allow no one to pay aught aaint for fear of hurtii g bis feelings, never! The man who will do thin, even and will gt hurt or angry because you and 1 !o not agree with him, you w ill lind is a very narrow, ehullow man, and knows little of the principled underlying the true science of medicine. The real and only meaning which phould constitute religicn and the many and changing needs which pohtics miiMt take cognizance, of. I havJ no doubt, "Irene." but that you have changed your early belief over many tilings thoso tbreo juestions cover. I know I have, aid I expect to in the future it 1 live lon enough and keep learning. Come olt-n to the page, "I. W. 1'." "Araumore," did you nodca that"bugdiHecting" break. I wondered bow many did, and I thought Christianity must learn to proper truths which are very simple and easily learned ud with something more than slurry assumption if she wish to convince the meeker of ber real worth. I know that young man's mind, like mine, instantly liew down the long path of philosophers, scientist:, historian, writers, a-tronomers end Ktateinen, whose works and research will live forever, and whoso very text books this young man must consult in his ttudies and whore grip is upon the world in many ways. Ibey msy not have believed every ta'o of tradition, every article of faith or creed that some men nave been pleased to ca.l religion, but tho young man knows well it ia libel upon knowledge to cad them "bug di.-secters." Keligion does not consist in what you le!ieve, but what you are. Chri.it'a teaching was to tnako mn btter. If not, He came in vain. Let ministers teicu men how to live (and this will show you how to die) instead of teaching them so many articles of faith to believe in, and some way giving them the paiaiyzing idea that, after all, it is only a matter of faith and belief, not a good life that saves. "Lone Tramp" is right, liven Drummond, with all bis intelligent insight, baa, in this book under discussion, pome way, perhaps unconsciously, gone oifin tho "follow your leader" style. The world is too much given to following o f old leaders, whose metaphysical theorizing on God's meanings and words has taken color from their own, gloomy, vindictive, murderous, fanatical hearts. It is just as well to look up the characters oi some of these old leaders, their environments and eurroundings, before we beiieve too fully in the inspiration of the doctrine ther banded down. And of all things in the world never, never point to numbers as proof of the right or truth of anything. Don't you know that for one man that will think on these matters for himself and st arch out the truth and falsity of their claims, there are a thousand who will not think who cry out, "Uli giro ua our thought, our belief ready hashed, cooked and digested. We cannot think, we wiil not think." Is it any wonder that false teachers or misguided ignorance arot-o and made of themselves leaders when even those more intelligent than themselves were waiting to be led. My family on both sides of the ho'ise dates back to these old Scotch covenanters. There are yet stories handed down of tho religious wars and persecutions. Of course my people thought God was on their side and the devil on the other. Some of their dtiecendants do cot look upon this matter today as they did. There was just as much wrong on one fide as on the other and God was in it nowhere. Creed, creed, man made was back of it all. Is it any wonder that we shudder today when we hear even the uncertain weak pipe of thone old war Dug lea. "Uncle Tom" take my arm chair, no, I want that one myself, you take that rush bottom one. And then tttll "Comet" not to be so ready to resign on such small criticisms. Let him grit his teet and dig the harder. '-Pollock" like O. W. Holmes thought we might develop into a ret of mutual admirations over other people's platitudes. You know one can't most always tell just how tbe world does gauge us. But thin yon came back at "l'ollock"

just pat, for according to O. W. Holmes tho niutuale, though they cordially thought one another stupid, they praised one another when ther were paid to or ordered to do bo. I'd like to help you out if I could butyou'vo got plenty on your side. IdaS. LETTER FROM CHICAGO.

Our Ex-l'resirirnt 31nk Many Good Suggestions to the Club. Dear II. L. C. Fkiends As we are now located in our new home at Chicago, I will write you again. I need not go into detail to tell you of our pleasure (?) in moving; the waiting for household goods sent by freight, and the sport we had "campinz out" on tho inside. Perhaps some of you have had alike experience and enjoyed it as much as we did, so I'll only suggest the idea to those who have net, that in moving by freight, unless goods are shipped a week in advance, do not omit putting in plenty of comforters and pillows in your baggage if you expect to "roost at home." all of which we did and found it very helpful. In regard to the house selected as headquarters for the Ii. L. C. 1 will say as before that my letter to Mr. Jocobs concerning it evidently did not reach bim before his announcement to the page was written, 6o the conclusions drawn hate been made from the statements of others and not from what I wrote concerning iL I do not know what repairs and improvements will bo made on the property. While 1 do not consider the property all that is claimed for it, I think it can be made very comfortable and convenient, and if proper arrangements can be made to pecure accommodations for the club I think, all considered, it is as well aa could be done. No doubt there will be much demand for rooms in this locality. Normal park, Auburu park and Egzleston are subdivisions of 1 Ingle wood and only a short distance west and southwest of the fair grounds, with as good transportation faculties as can be found, and much belter than many places. Here we have wbat are termed "cross-town" lines. Tbe line on Sixty-third-st is being changed to an electric line, and the horee cars on &ixty-ninth and Seventy-ninth-nts , and Wentwcrth-ave. are to be attached to tho bixty-third-st. electric as a trailer and thus run to the fair groun is without transfer I am told. Then we have also within two Mocks a new electric.Iine on Seventy-fifth-st. now running direct to the fair. So you Be j this locality, which includes the quarters selected for the II. L. C. is well mi;. plied with etreet car facilities, and is froo from the great volumo of down town hotel and business tratlic, betide the transit from the farther north and webt side portions of the city. Fur fair visitors I think this matter of transportation one uf much importance. Next is good rooms and restaurant facilities at reasonablo rates. While it ia true that prices fur everything are higher and the tendency to reap a harvost generally prevalent, yet 1 believo by exercising care in felecting location and usin ecooomyg one can get r.long with a reasonable outlay of cash. Hero in our block we have two 8n.aH hotels nud two restaurants, beeidet private meals which are given at reasonable rates. I'.ut of this I may write moro fullv alter a broader investigation. Hope all the II. U C. in embers will try to attend time of the reunion and arruuge with Brother Jacobs for accomodations in order to enjoy the occasion together. But if any of vou should attend at any other time and desire assistance to secure quarters I will render you anv aid I can. Now, friends, I am etiil waiting for you to enlist in one the two divisions of work that have laid out for your own as woll as tho club's benefit. Will respond to tho call ? I can do nothirg without your cooperation. It isn't the part of wisdom to complain of conditions without an elTort to correct them. Come, let us be more active; surely there none are but wish for success in this werk. Those who Lave joined the regular corps have been very libera', an 1 done nobly, yet we want more, and especially in the raiuuto corps. To those who have so kindly allowod me to assign them a place I would eay, 1 appreciate your confidence and very generous oiler to do loving service for the good of the club; but I prefer that each member would select the corps, and if the regular do not forget to state the frequency of your articles. Will the other members of the committee on work, who have not done so, please sand mo such topics as they see proper to aseign the tninu'n corps? Will "Tuscumbia" and "Miello" ple3ee send me their address ? All those who wish to write me may address me as giveu below. Yours most truly, T. II. Swaim, No. 7233 Stewart Boulevard. F.nglewood, 111. FROM "POLLOCK." lie Tliinks Proper Crilicimn to Tie Absolutely Nt esiary World's Fnir. In.u Friends I will not respond in defense of "critics" who eeom happily ignorant of what constitutes good form, nor have I the heart to condemn their opinions. It is one thing to slander or find fault, but quite another to restrain or criticise. The first is injurious both to good morals and manners; tbe second is a wholesome discipline which constitutes the fingerboard of progress and safetyvalve of enthusiasm. Modern society could no more get on without public criticism than a bird without wings. What steam is to transportation, publio criticism ia to public weal. The increase of personal liberty and tbe expansion and development of public criticism are co-extensive. Public criticism supplies the elasticity of the republic, yet sways the scepter of gentle discipline ho e -'ectively as to veritably form the pendulum of the clock of every-day life. It is not generally known or appreciated that this country is largely built on a foundation of moral responsibility, that when tbe subject .ceases to be good tho government is vitiated. With the lax of the strict observance of law by the individual comes the inability to supply lawful protection by tbe national or state government, which every citizen is otherwise in possession of. In other words, every citizen weakens tbe general government, in the performance of its duty, to the extent that be neglects to do his own. And bis own duty includes the observance of every breach of fair dealing in civil conduct, whether it be the conduct in the church or counting-house behind the counter or in the pulpit. Whether tbo breach be of written or unwritten, of statute or common law, the principle involved is identical and no one escapes responsibility by the cowardly assertion that it is none of his business. The expression, "what is everybody's is nobody's bupiness," doesn't mean anything further than that if everybody does his or her duty as a good citizen the destiny of tbe republic is safe. As intimated in the beginning, have nothing to retort with. Anger is half madness, and 1 fear tnr faultfinders, both directly and indirectly, wero influenced by auger. He who confines hiuisölf to the truth need fear no compunction of conscience of being misunderstood by intelligent people, by the bigoted or ignorant he knows, Jf he is fit to give advice he cannot, much as he should like to. be clearly comprehended. To divert; am going to be on duty at Jackson park (World' Fair) alter the 8th

init. If any menbers de3iro information they can address me there, in care of Fifteenth Infantry, U. S A. Will also try and keep vou informed of what is going on ia the "White City." My poet of duty will be at the Spanish Convent La Babida, and my duty to stand guard over the highly-priced and venerated relics of the great navigator, who fearlessly plunged into tbe dark and threatening waves of tho ".Sunset" sea 400 years ago that civilization might expand, that sweet liberty might grow, that tbe bigotry of Christianity mignt be worn oil by the friction of time, and the virtues of paganism become engrafted upon our code of modern morals ; that the carpenters of theology might at last see the folly of arguing about tools, and go to work to build the house religion; that the lamb of Christianity and the lion of infidelism might "at last discover" the truth of Byron's farewell to his wife, "'twas not well to spurn me so" that in reality th?y were sister and brother, that the only diderence was a difference of outward appearance and that they should be friends, and, in fact, would long ago have been but for their contorted ideas of real justice. "Pollock." THE WORLD'S EXPOSITION.

3IifIlo" Tells the Club About the Opening Day of the tJrent Fair. The great Columbian show and world's fair has been opened in the formal order bo generously circulated by the press the world over, but rain and mud apparently put a damper on the general appearance of the place, and there was only a feint of enthusiasm among tho people. Tho crowd was enormous out the number that was in attendance was estimated from two hundred and iorty to six hundred thousand. Aud on, fcuch a "jam" of humanity that congregated to the front of the temporary platform provided for the chief dignitaries of all nations represented in the opening exercises. The freshly coated gravel covering the esplanade, drives and walks was soon converted into a mortar bed of tenacious clay that enveloped the feet and limbs of everybody in that throng, at least to the knuckle joint of their lower limb. Rubbers and umbrellas lot poesesiion of their owners foul or fair and were left on the field like remnants of some strange exploit of a vanquished foe. During the excitement of the surging crowd below the world's fair managers were making an attempt carry out the program with all the ardor and eflect they could possibly do, but the rehearsal of speech and prayer was not heard beyond a few feet from the platform. The rif-raf called "time." -louder," "hear" during invocation, and thero was but one lonely oldsonlinall the assembled throng on the platform or elewhero that reverently bowed bis head with becoming penitence for an occasion of tha kind, and that was the president, Graver Cleveland. When people of eminence, who are leaders of the social and business interests of the nation, and the scions of royalty from the ellete monarchies of the old world restlesbly look one way and the other oven to indulging in a running conversation while prayer is being otlered what could be expected of ttio rank and tile of the multitude beneath them in the tcale of honor? After a time, bowevor, the prosram of the occasion, which. was unnecessarily louz.wes over, and the presidentcoinplied with the instruction given him when be first came upon the platform, bv bringing down his dextrous arm of munificent power by placing the band squarely on the lever of the little machine mounted on a red plush-covered box setting on a table, which opened the electric current that started the big Corliss engine in machinery hall, followed by the unfurling of the numerous lings by men stationed at every llugstair all over the buildings, niches and corners about the exposition, cannon boomed from the navy exhibit down by the lake and what few engines were in order trieu to get in a chorus of pcreams, followed by the whoop of soino spectators to tho extent of about threequarters of a minute, but there seemed to be a general lack of enthusiasm to inspire the throng with anything more than the feeblest attempt. It will bo all of a month yet before everything will present a satisfactory aspect to the visitor. But comparatively littlo of tho space devoted to exhibit is filled to completion, or arranged in the order of their respective places.' The immensity of the whole affair will doubtless produce a surfeit to the eightBeer and will cause much of tho interest to fade away into a fathomless abyss of wonder before a week is occupied by a visit. Mikllo. COIN OF THE REALM. Selected From Kiui-rmm'ii Knsny on History, " by "15-n-Ardy." Ho that is once admitted to the right of reason ia made a freeman of the whole estate. A man is the whole encyclopedia of facte. Tho creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Kgvpt, Greece, Borne, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already in the first man. Fpoch after epoch, camp, kingdom, empire, republic, democracy, are merely the application of his manifold spirit to the manifold world. We as we read must become Greeks, Romans, Turks, priest and king, martyr and executioner, must fasten these images to some reality in our secret experience, or we shall see nothing, learn nothing, keep nothing. The world exists lor the education of each man. To the poet, to the philosopher, to the paint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine. It has been said that "common souls pay with what they do; noble souls with that which they are." The true power Is the poet's mind; the true ship is the ehip-builder. The whole of heraldry and of chivalry is in courtesy. A man of line manners shall pronounce your name with ail the ornament that titles of nobilitv could ever add. When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me, wben truth that tired th soul of Pindor fires mine, time is no more. When the gods come among men they are not known. Tbe shoes of swiftness, the sword of sharpness, the power of subduing the elements, of using the secret virtues of minerals, of understanding tbe voices of birds, are the obscure efforts of the mind in a right direction. The preternatural prowess of the hero, the gift of perpetual youth, and the like are alike tho endeavor of the human spirit "to beud tbe shows of things to the desires of the wind." A man is a bundle of relations, a knob of roots, whose llower and fruitage is the world." "Ben-Ardys." Indianapolis, May 13. Wlin the Clouils Holl By. Dear II. L. C I don't know what I shall write about, all is bo dull and gloomy on tbe farm, the weather still cooL The fields are striving to put on their robes of green, but struggle as they may, I fear they will not succeed for awhile yet. What is the matter with the writers of the psge? Only two and a half columns of letters last week. Is the feminine portion so engaged with spring work that it has no time to write. Those who live on the farm. I know just now it is. Ho much to

I only ask vou to think of me as "real," although I'm "but a Dream." Judson, Ind., May S. The VVnmierer'H Lament. Not long since I noticed in a newspaper an account of a bloody tragedy occurring in one of our eastern cities. It seems that a young man of high birth met on the ftreets one day a beautiful lady, who won his love by pleasant smiles and a black, deceitful heart. He learned soon after that she wa married and was persuaded by ber to murder her husband on the promise that tshe would then Ilea with him. This proved to be an artful falsehood, for as soon as tho deed was committed, she being accused, bore damning evidence against tho true malefactor, lie, of course, was compelled to llee for his life, whib Iter subsequent history will be described in the following poem: Ths pnrtintf wm nl, I remember, Mjr father ami nmt'irr bct;i w t, When I on thin nitf'it in S.'ptciubor From my homo a file fugitive crept.

THE SIMPLE invention.

That Is tho One That Idrlogs Cifi Money to the Inventor. Sentinel Tathnt and Penpion Aoency,' : Washington. D. C. May 12., Thomas A. Kdison, tbo "Wizard" inventor, is a ixulti-rr.illiocaire. Not many years ao he was a poor young man, em ployed as telegraph operator in a railroad cilice. But ho has not made tbe biggest part of bis fortune out of bis most won derful inventions, as mott people euppoee. Ho is the inventor of a score of useful contrivances, and some of these have paid him tbe be?t royalties. Indeed, it is a remarkable fact, as cited by employes of ths patent oliice. that the mot simp'.o inventions have been the most profitable to the inventors. The inventor of the "return ball" made over a million of dollars out of it. Kverybody knows what the return ball was. Every child used to have one. A timple woodeu sphyro with an elastic cord (rubber) attached, and on the end of tbe cord a ring for the linzor. Tho man who invented tho small, triangular piece of leather or other etrong material, to be sown on the corners of pocketbooks or overalls and such garments, to prevent ripping, mad an immense fortune. Many ladies have been successful in tho invention of milk pails, collee-strainers, egg-beaters, cradles, churns, dih-waahers and euch articles of household uo that have paid tbera handsome royalties. A lady of hamokin. Pa., invented a refrigerator, and draws an annual royalty of jl2,00d from the manufacturers. Iefore she got ber pr.tent eho was in indisent circumstances wi:h a larjro family of small children to euprort. Now she i in tbe midst of aflluence. Her children are being educated abroad and the lady herself has paved money enough to erect three besinrss blocks in her town. A ladyofBlowerfsport. La., invented a sa't-cellar upon which ehe receives a royalty of SLOOu a year. She had to borrow tho money ( ?'") to pay the patent ollice and patent attorney'rt foes and had some difficulty in getting; ar.y ono to ttke any intortet in her invention, but she was persistent and in tho course ol time managed to sell a quarter interest in it to a man for enough money to enable ber to take out the patent. It is often the simple invention that pave tho most money. If any one thinks that l.e or s tie ha- a good idea for an invontiun, they shoull not abandon tha id"a oceans they think it is too simple to find a profitable market, l'roeeed to pyrin t it at once and send to Tin: Sentinei patent nn 1 pension agency, al 1,-120 New York-iive , X.

J The new democratic commissioner of patents has been duly installed in ollica end h fauiiliarizin himself with tba duticf of his responsible position. The retiring commissioner, Mr. Simonds of Connecticut, has been mentioned by some of his friends as a suitable person to take) charge of the U. M. patent ollice exhibit at the world's fair, but tbe salary that could be paid would not compensate him for the tims expended. There is only a very mall appropriation for the use of tho interior department at the world's fair. Most of tho patent ollice examiners have been kept in their places for years. Through their Ions experience they have ma-le themselves very etlicient, and it has been the custom followed by former commissioner! to make few changes in this force upi'ti th advent of a now administration. Thirt rulo may be followed by tha nw democratic commissioner of patents, although of course a ood many democrats who want places naturally think that the incumbents ought to g'v way to the victors. The new commissioner is said to be a man of exceptional ability. Mr. Cleveland choee him from among a long list of gentiomen of character and ability, who wer candidates for the place. ?fnp of tin- 1'iiitecl Stntea.
