He Defends His Theory and is Answered by Kev. Dr. Adams. ‘The largest congregation so far of the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church In Baltimore gathered yesterday to hear the ques- | tlon of evolution giscussed by Rev. Jas. Woodrow, D. D., and bis p tors, They were not disap- Polnted, for there 1s considerable personality in the Aght. Dr, Woodrow questioned Dr. Adams’ motives, and Dr. Adams said that Dr. Woodrow ‘Was not a scientist and that he did and said vari- ous things that were unbecoming a man of his position. Dr. Woodrow has a great deal of sym- Pathy among the ladies, but his opponents have the voting strength of the assembiy. In the continuation of his speech yesterday Dr. Woodrow said the Bible docs not ieach science, and to take its lan; in a scientific sense is to pervert its meaning. In the Bible there ts nothing that contradicts the belief that God immediately brought into existence each form independentiy, or that contradicts the contrary belief that, hav- Jug originated one or two forms, he caused all the others to spring from these tn accordance with laws which he ordained and makes operative. He denied that he had subordinated Scripture to science. He accepted the authority of the Serip- tures as foal, and when he taught that Adam Provably had an animal ancestry, he did so after * had shown that It might not’ be inconsistent with Sacred Scripture. Mr. Woodrow closed by asking the assembly not to add another to the mistakes of the church re- specting sclence. A few years ago he was branded as a heretic w2o belidved that the earth was more than six thousand years old, and he was branded as a heretic who taught, contrary to the universal understanding of the chureh, that God guided the Stars In heir courses through the laws of gravita- Uon. So it has been in other cases, and when the church undertook to decide a sefentific question on Scriptural grounds it has never falled to decide Wrong. ‘The reason is because the church bas as- sumed the false principle that the Bible teaches science, Dr. Adams was the original prosecutor in the case, and he appeared as one of the respondents for the Synod of Georgia. His speech was largely personal and explanatory. At first he said he re- sisied the prosecution of Dr. Woodrow as he wished to give the doctor time to prove that Adam was evoluted from some lower animal if he could. He Said he supposed that Dr. Woodrow was a man of setenti and an independent thinker. “+L ay now, ‘that there 1s uot one solitary position he has taken in the whole address, nota technical term he has used in it, for Which he is not indebted to others. In the midst of this controversy he came to me, and, shaking his Ost in my face, said: ‘I have taught’ this doctrine and shall continue to teach it, T have 4,000 people to Waom fam teaching it, and you are responsible for my teaching until You Dring me to trial.’ What Was my surprise, after two years of clamor on his Ueualf and on behalf of bis friends, to see him come into the Augusta Presbytery and take sides (with his “own party against a trial, ‘That handshaking tm iy face left me no other alternative but to Lring hitn before the court of God for what I believe to be error.” Dr. Adams argued against evolution, using logic and satire, He traced tue progress ’of animal fe until it reached a frog. “In Some way or another,” be Said, “Chis frog got ashore, and that, brethren of the Assembly, Was the lauding of your frst ances- tor. Dr. Adams had not concluded when the hour for recess arrived. Judge Hetskill, of Ter esse, Will speak for Lue defense, and Dr. Strte + will make the closing argument for the prose- cution. Dr. Woodrow will be allowed another hour after the sp allin.

Elaborate, systematic jury-bribbing and perjury whenever necessary to win in all sults brought against one of the largest corporations in Chicago was apparently shown yesterday to have been carried on by the agents of the company as their regular dally occupation for years: past. ‘The cor- oration 1s the Chicago City Railway Co., which operates the extensive system known “as the “South Side Cable Road.” Sumner C.

In the Eastern states the snow fell in some places more than afoot in depth, There was no snow in ‘Cleveland, but that morning in Erie, as we looked out upon the deck of the steamboat we found it covered with snow, and it was very cold.

From the St. Louis Republican, The cattle trust investigation provided for in Senator Vest’s resolution adopted by the Senate Wednesday will clear up the matter that 1s in- Volved tn a good deal of mystery—the depression in prices of Western cattle in the last few years without any corresponding reduction in the price of beef in the retall markets. Senator vest charges that this 1s the resuit of a “cattle trust” couspiracy between six large packing firms in Cillcago and the railroads that take the cactle into the city—and he asserts that the evidence to support the charge 1s obtainable. ‘The Senate resoiutlon provides for a special” com- mittee to investigate the subject with privic lege of sitting during the recess and to re av the next session. “The subject 1s one uf no small concern’ to Western farmers, who, by reason of the low prices ot corn and hay in the last several years, have been forced to go 1nto the cattle-ratsing business— ‘and i is particularly severe on the cattle raisers of the far West, who complain that when they ship their animals to market they get next to nothing for them. ‘The leagued slaughtering firms make the price to suit themselves, aud the suippe - has no choice but to accept it.

No fact of nature is more preg- nant with swful meaning than the fact of the imheritance of disease. It meets the physician on his daily rounds, paralyzing his art and fill- ing him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greoks pictares the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them desolate. The Furies still ply their work of terror and desth, but they are not now clothed inthe garb of superstition, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease, ‘Modern science, which has illuminated so ‘many dark corners of nature, has shed » new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, “Tho sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth geners- tion." Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of families, of cancer and scrofuls, run in families through inberitatice, Insanity is hereditary in a marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming ex- tinct. A distinguished scientist truly says: “No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary dis- ease.” Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and func- tions of the body, are more or less liable to be inherited. The important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facte—affecting 0 powerfully the happiness of individuals and families and the collective welfare of the nation —are obvious to reflecting mda, snd the best means for preventing or curing these diseases ia ssubject of intense interest to all.
