SCIEXCE, ORTHODOXY AXD IlKLIGIOX Should Work Harmoniously for tho Iletlertnent of Earth's Conditions. If our religious teachers Would but believe it, there is an ample field open to them for instructing and benefiting mankind without making any attempts to restrict scientific Investigation or the enunciating of scientific doctrines, says Popular Science Monthly. It is theirs to interpret to their fellow men in so far as they may be sufficient for the task their deepest, relations to the universe In which they live. The hygienist may tell us how to maintain our physical health, the sociologist how to govern ourselves as members of society, the publicist or political economist how we may advance our own material Interests or contribute to those of the community. But there is room for a teaching which shall in a manner correlate all these, which shall reveal the sacredness of every duty and the profound significance of life. This Is the teaching which especially deserves the name of religious, Inasmuch B3 it awakens in the mind of the Individual a consciousness of his relation to the universe as a whole and an accompanying sense of universal law. Science Is advancing with giant strides, but discontent is on the increase. Why? Because the essential conditions of happiness are ignored; because rich and poor, however adverse their points of view in other respects. Join in affirming that life consists in material abundance, that character is of little account, that money can do everything. In such a condition of things it Is really surprising that religious teachers should find time to attack men of science for any views whatever which they may promulgate, the need being so pressing for a manifestation of those moral truths which no scientist would think of opposing, and which, in point of fact, no scientific doetrine can be said to touch. The fields are white to the harvest, but the really competent reapers are few. They would be more numerous perhaps If the-needs of the time were better understood, and if men were not required to undergo an apprenticeship to outworn systems of thought before betaking themselves to the work of the ministry. We ask our religious friends to think of this. Science cannot be arrested in. Ks Investigations, but these need not and do not stand in the least in the way of true religious work. Let the scientists, therefore, occupy their own field without molestation, and let the clergy those who are fit for their high office occupy their own field and labor to promote higher views of" the worth and destiny of human life than those ultra-maiterial ones which are so widespread today, and which are nowhere more conspicuous than in, the churches. Then we may have peace with progress. The Difference. Smith "Did your pastor ask for a vacation ?" Jones "No. He 6aid he would give us cne." Tammany Times.

It is contended that Indianapolis Is near the center of population and the most accessible point for all sections. The success of the 15. A. It. encampment at Indianapolis last year has given the capital city a great adveriii'-nkiit for Hie round-up of tha whole nation. Without much effort Indianapolis will secure the K. of P. encampment for "ii. This will take about 75,000 knights to that city. A SPLIT .XOT I' X LIKELY. Knl&hts Cannot Agree on the Saloon and German tluestlona. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 A split in the Knights of Pythias Is paid by members of the supreme lodge to be a possible and, perhaps, probable outcome of the meeting now in progress here. Already the committee designated to consider the question of the membership of liquor dealers has decided to report against the future admission of this class, and now it is understood that the committee In charge of the matter known as the "German question," that is the question of permitting lodges to perform the ritual In that language, has decided to make an ironclad report fur the use of the English language only. It is said by Supreme Chancellor Blackwell to be the intention of Pythians to make their order a patriotic one and to bend all its influences to the support of the institutions of our government. The opixments of the German lodges say that the perpetuation of a foreign language in the United States will not tend to the support of the institutions of this government and think that foreign members in the United States should be Americanized. The German lodges have been open In the avowal of their determination to secede and conduct their branch of the order on their own responsibility in case the contest went actainst them. It is understood that a committee roport will be made against the recognition of the Pythian sisters as an order. READY FOR TRIAL The Case of Ezetn of Snn Salvador nt Sau Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3 The case of Ezeta of San Salvador is ready for hearing before Judge Morrow in the United States court on Tuesday. It is probable that Carlos Urrutia, formerly private secretary to Carlos Ezeta, the deposed president of the republic, will be one of the chief witnesses for Anton'.o during these proceedings. He has arrived from New York and has paid a visit to Gen. Ezeta at the latter's hotel. The general received Urrutia. cordially, knowing that he brought word from Carlos, whx is now In Europe. In an interview the ex-secretary stated that Carlos left New York about tho middle of July for Paris, where he will remain a short time, and then will reside permanently In Madrid. Secretary Urrutia said that one of the Immediate incentives of the late rebellion was that President Ezeta made the law prohibiting the introduction of silver into the republic. It was his Intention to place gold on the same basis, but a strong protest was made by the wealthy agriculturists, furthermore the Salvadoreans, who are mostly of the catholic religion, made a vigorous fight against a law granting absolute divorce. SILKWORM OUT OF WORK. Artificial Silk Heina; Manufactured Across the Water. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 Claude Meeker, consul at Bradford, England, has sent to the state' department a report upon the attempts that are nowbeing made to manufacture artificial silk. His report contains some very Interesting points upon the progress made. He says that a company Is now bing promoted in Bradford for the manufacture of artificial silk. Patents have been taken out in the United States, and it is proposed to establish a company in this country for the purpose of selMng rights. The inventor of the process is Dr. Frederich Lehnor of Zurich, Switzerland. "If the hopes of the invention," says Consul Meeker, "are realized the princely position of the silk worm is usurped. In order to make the usurpation more complete a false work 6f glass, spinning a thread, which ls wound In an artificial cocoon, is fetched upon the acene. . THE PLAIX' PROOF Of Awards to Dr. Price's Cream Baking; Powder at the Fairs. An envious New York competitor, who tries to sell inferior goods by labeling them "absolutely pure," seeks to belittle the award of highest honors to Dr. Price' Cream Baking Powder at the World's Columbian Exposition by denying that such honors were conferred. The award to Dr. Price's is proved by the official records. Chief of awards J. S. Browning writes: "The records of this department (agriculture) show that the executive committee on awards officially announced ftome time ago that an award had been granted the Price Baking Powder Company on Its exhibit of baking powder." The Hon. John Boyd Thacher, chairman of the executive committee on awards, also writes under date of Feb. 14, 1894: "I herewith enclose you an official copy of your award, which indue time will be inscribed in the diploma and forwarded." Why did the New York competitor not exhibit? Was it because his powder contained ammonia? The award to Dr. Price's at Chicago was for strength, purity and general excellence. On similar grounds it received the highest award nnd Gold Medal at the California Midwinter Fair. Xotes of Preparation. Time files, the season's wearing late.
