lilt HtMJIIIItUIUll OF CHRIST PROVED Dr. Koehne Replies to Skeptics Who Allege Savior's Body Was Stolen. "Two undeniable. proofs, the Christian church and the Sabbath day, remain for ua as evidence of the resurrection of Christ," said Dr. J. B. Koehne of Philadelphia, to a large audience in the First Presbyterian church, yesterday morning, after reviewing the historical facts which form the basis of our faith. "The secret of the Christian religion lies In an empty tomb," stated Dr. Koehne, "for while the performance of miracles, the ability to forecast the future, and the virgin birth can be either accounted for or denied. In the life of Christ, the fact that Christ arose from the dead Is the only unassailable fundamental In the Christian faith." Dr. Koehne maintained that not even athlests or Hebrews would deny the facts leading up to the resurrection of Christ, namely, that after suffering much human pain, Christ was killed and buried In a sealed vault with a guard of Roman' soldiers around It. Furthermore, he argued that there was no question but what on the third day after these events the tomb was found empty, and that several combinations of facts made absurd the theory that the body had been stolen. Answer to Skeptics. In answer to many skeptics who step In at this point to argue that Christ was not seen in real form after death. Dr. Koehne cited the facts that the Saviour was seen by many people, and each time as a human being, and that the story was so simple and from so many sources that its truth could not be denied. The speaker remarked that (he evident truth of the resurrection was shown by the disciples themselves, who limited their later preaching to merely relating the manner of Christ's last appearances, rather than repeating his teachings. At the same time, the day for religious worship was changed from Saturday to Sunday, because it waa on Sunday that Christ was raised from death. Thus, claimed Dr. Koehne, the existence of the Christian church and the Sabbath day point strongly to the truth of the resurrection. A peculiar fact of the resurrection is that Its critics have never been able to discredit it. : Sermon In Afternoon. . "The instinct of the savage, the reason of the scholar, and the faith of the saint, all point to the Immortality of the soul," was the opening argument used by Dr. Koehne In his afternoon lecture at the First Presbyterian church. Conceding the evolution their to be true, and that therefore millions of ages have been required to change the earth from a mere section of the gaseous mass that comprised the universe, into what it now Is, the only place where man could exist. Dr. Koehne asserted that It seemed preposterous to believe that God would use nil this time snd energy so that man could live here but seventy years. The speaker related a number of physical facts to show that there is necessarily some actuating force greater than the brain In human beings, lie asserted that through surgery, a part of a brain could be removed, with no effect on personality, and also that while a man may be in a dying state, his personality, or soul, was apparently unimpaired by the altered physical condition. Dr. Koehne's lectures yesterday roused profound interest of all reli gious aenoiuinauoiiB, ior mey openea a line of t nought, new to Richmond. Dr. Koehne Is waiving the old argument "I just believe It is true," and Is discarding all skeptical assertions, through the use of history, science, ' and nhllosonhy. Ills talks at the Prebyterlan church during the evenings of this week are expected to alter materially the local attitude toward Christianity, because what Christians have always Imagined to be true, Dr. , Xoehn is now proving.

Mr. William D. Foulke's Poetic Version of "Maya" and Pamphlet by Dr.. T. Henry Davis. Also "He Comes Up Smiling."

BY ESTHER OJtlPFIN WHITE. Mr. William Dudley Foulke has recently put out, through the Cosmopolitan Press, of New York, a poetic version of his story of "Maya," published some years ago, the former being intended for dramatic presentation as well as for the library. The poem la in dramatic form and tells an absorbing story whose action revolves about "Pedro de Sandoval." the survivor of a crew of Spaniards who have been wrecked on the shore of Yucatan, at a period immediately preceding and following the Spanish Invasion of that peninsula, and "Maya," the daughter of "King Ahpula," who, with her attendant maidens, finds Sandoval in a cave where he has taken refuse and where her entourage has repaired to bathe in a pool included in the cave's mise en scene. The maidens, thinking Sandoval a god, from his fair hair and blue eyes, re: tire in some trepidation, leaving Maya to a personal encounter with the intruder. Maya, who falls in love with the supposed god on the spot and who is a young woman of remarkable presence of mind and exceedingly ingenious in explanation, suggests that Sandoval pretend himself a god, that she will support him in this role since her people have a tradition to the effect that their ancient prestige will be restored by some celestial being and "outlined" a program of procedure vhich proved enormously successful and which culminated in her union with Sandoval. That "ladies" in Yucatan could lie quite as glibly as their modern sisters is seen in the airy fabrication of the princess when her attendants returned and found her alone "Did he not harm thee? Whither has he gone?" asks one. Says Maya who has concealed her god behind some convenient vines "Fairest of gods he was, and harmed me not. When flowers for sacrifice I vowed, he smiled And gilded o'er the water to my side, Then rose from the deep pool in the thin air Through the cave's mouth and float ed1 up to heaven." Which certainly should make her a star performer in a certain club or ganized by a famous friend of the author's. The story races on to a tragic cli max with an anti-climax which possess a mystic quality and holds the attention to the end. It's blank verse form is felicitous and its theatric appeal pointed, and, If of a less serious character, might be thought to have been written on the plan of a comic, opera with book and lyrics. But this is by the way. The finale is somewhat fatalistic "Thus we stretch forth our hands. Is it for fame? Fame vanishes. Or power? For power is broken. Or treasures which the moth and rust corrupt? Or is it love? For pitiless death hides love Within the tomb. We know not. We are borne Hither and thither and with outstretched hands Cry to the winds, and who shall answer us?" A charming conceit, denominated "Blue Pond," and written in dramatic form, was put out at Christmas time by Miss Hettie Elliott, of this city, for private circulation among her friends. Although not so stated, the reader inclines to the belief that the setting of "Blue Pond." might be in the region of Buhl's woods and the delightful region back of Earlham, but be that as it may, the conversations held by a Faun, a Dryad, and various of our rapidly disappearing wild flowers call attention to the demolition of trees and flowers in that vicinity. Miss Elliott, in the conversation between the flowers, shows her knowledge of their "habits" and also of the less known varieties natural to this environ, emphasizing the fact that, unless some sort of conservation plan is formulated by Earlham Cemetery association and the college, many of these flowers, to be found only in this region, including purple fringed orchis, arrow-head, monk's head, dodder and blue fringed gentian, will be eliminated from the floral repertoire of this part of Wayne county. Why the cemetery association, in taking over a goodly portion of this locality, should have felled great oaks which had grown for two hundred years and cut down wild crab-apple trees not matched in this section, is one of the barbarities for which there is no explanation or excuse, since the land was taken in for decorative purposes for the present.

While this Is not specifically commented upon in the pamphlet, It readily interprets itself so to the reader. Miss Elliott has done a service in calling attention to this phase of the local landscape and has done it in an attractive manner.

Dr. T. Henry Davis, one of the leading exponents of his profession in Indiana and a member of the State Board of Health, is the author of a pamphlet called "A Glimpse at Medicine and Its Future," the manuscript of which was read by Dr. Davis at a meeting of health officers in Indianapoly some months since. Apropos of the "mad-dog scare" in this city, Dr. Davis refers to rabies and its horrors and the fact that the latter have been ameliorated by the establishment of Pasteur Institutes, whereas formerly physicians had been "powerless to modify the horrifying exhibition." Dr. Davis, the possessor of a concise and eminently descriptive style, is largely concerned, in this pronouncement, with preventives rather than cures, stating: "As a friend of America, preventive medicine has in the last ten years changed the average of life in the registration district from thirty-one to thirty-five years, a gain of four years of life to each individual in the registered area. This results from the activity of preventive medicine and we only on the border of the land of promise. "The history of medicine is a gradual unfolding of events. In no profession has there been more devotion or sacrifice (frequently of life). Heroism i has always been accorded the plaudits I of men, but the unwritten history of medicine is a series of heroic acts which, while unrecorded, have given our profession, a stability and deserved recognition that the passing of time only accentuates. Medicine of the past, and largely of the present, seeks the remedy for disease. The medicine of the future will look more towards prevention. . "To deal with medicine simply as re- ' munerative is demoralizing; to pur sue it as a science is ennobling and progressive. It broadens the intellect and dissolves "the mental adhesion which binds one to traditions." "He Comes Up Smiling," by Charles Sherman, is one of those featherweight contestants in the best seller class which you pick-up and flip over on your way to bed, sit down to look over and read through before mounting aloft.

The February number of the Century is full of interest, the article on "The Obviousness of Dickens." profusely illustrated, perhaps, leading, with "Whistler as Decorator," by Joseph and Elizabeth Pennell, running it a close second. The "Hester Prynne," of Hawthorne's "Scarlet Lettel," which is one of the series of "Heroines of Fiction," being reproduced in color from paintings by Sigismond de Ivanowski, and one of the series of wood-engravings by Timothy Cole, are the "art" features of this issue. "The Field of Art," published every month in Scribner's, is not the least notable feature of that important periodical, and that it is .devoted oftener than not to the work of Americans makes it the more so the decorations in the Hudson County Court-House by Frank D. Millett, being the subject of the February discourse. This magazine, which leads in color illustration has several excellent examples of the lattein the current issue. "The SwanB of Abbotsbury," by Herbert M.

MIMIC WARFARE IN PHILIPPINE ISLES (National News Association) MANILA, Feb. 12. What is planned to be the most extensive war maneuvers ever indulged in by the United States troops in the Philippines were Inaugurated today in the .Department of Luzon. The plana drawn up for the operations divide the available troops into two forces consisting of 2,500 men each. One of these armies will

carry out an attack on the city of Manila, and probably will carry an attack on the city of Manila in which the other army will have its base and will act on the defensive. KINGS TALKED OF A DUEL. But George 11. and Frederick of Prussia Didn't Fight The personal enmity which existed between George II. and Frederick, king of Prussia, reached at one time to such a height that, as Baron Byneld was informed on good authority, the monarehs conceived the very singular design of gratifying it in a duel. King George made a choice of Brigadier Sutton for his second and the king of Prussia of Colonel Derscbau. The territory of HUderscheim was picked on for the meeting. His Britannic majesty was then at Hanover, and hia Prussian majesty had come as far as Salzdahl, near Brunswick. Baron Borck, the Prussian minister at London and lately dismissed from the court in a very abrupt manner, having repaired to the king, his master, at Salzdahl, found him in such a violent passion that he did not think it advisable directly to oppose hi design, but to gain time feigned to approve of the extraordinary combat which his majesty meditated, and he even offered to carry the challenge. The challenge was not sent Ministers on both sides gained time, the choler of both parties evaporated, and the following year the quarrel was made up. "The Percy Anecdotes." The Scolding Love Bird. "Those love birds," said a keeper in the aviary at the Bronx zoo, "are more like human beings in their actions and characters than any birds we have in the place. The male, which, you see, has a little blue spot on its beak, is as gentle and affectionate as a pet dog, but the female is a regular shrew, and that's the only word by which to de scribe her. She pecks and scolds at her mate, and often I have seen her lower her head and shove him off the perch. Sometimes she will chase him about the cage, jabbering at him like an old hag. The male seems to put up with it as patiently as a henpecked husband. He never tries to retaliate, and it isn't on account of fear either. The old lady acts the same -way with me. When I speak to her she scolds at me. The mate seems to appreciate any attention I pay to him and twitters to me like an old friend." New York Sun. 820 Main St

No sooner had the king granted ' his request than Patch proceeded to demand the first ess from him. saying. "Your grace belongs to the. class of husbands on whom I am entitled to make levy.

Pirates and SteaaMhtla. It was the advent of the stesjashfp that finally gave the pirates their death blow in Malaya. Every schoolboy ought to know foe story of the tret ; steamer off Borneo. Some pirate ships saw a steamer In the distance and. observing the smoke from Its funnels, thought the ship was on fire and therefore helpless. They gave chase, but they were amased to see the strange sea beast come up steadily against the wind and vomit fire from its guns. It was generally agreed in polite pirate circles that the white man had played a mean trick upon a successful and honorable body of traders. Dundee Advertiser.
