CO. 010-284 — Robberies Reported. Complaints are being received by the police of the action of thieves along the Ine of South B street near the Capitol, where country wagons have been robbed during the past few days. The robberies are committed early in the morning, be- tween 3 and 5 o'clock, and now the police are on the lookout for the thieves and hope to capture them. It is thought that the robbers hide in the shrubbery in the Capitol grounds and commit the thefts while the wagons move down the hill over the rough stone pave- ment. This morning a barrel of vege- tables was taken from the wagon of Mr. 8. E. Cox. Tuesday night a slot machine, filled with candy and chewing g was stolen from the store of Mrs. Fitzpatrick, corner of 8d_and P streets northwest. John Erhardt, No. Massachusetts ave- nue, reports that his room was robbed yes- terday of a revolver, a gold locket and $4.75 in cash. P. R. Cunningham, 621 East Capitol street, complains of the theft of a gold searf pin. The pin, he says, was taken from his room. William J. Tubman, 721 11th street, ports the larceny of a gold ring. ——— Rev. Mr. McKim’s Return. Rev. Randolph H. McKim, rector of the Chureh of the Epiphany, reached home last evening from the triennial convention of the Episcopal Church, held in Minne- apolls, Minn. Rev. Dr. McKim was one of the delegates to the convention from the diocese of Maryland, another representa- tive from Washington being Rev. Dr. El- Hott, rector of Ascension Church. The lat- ter is expected to arrive in this city this afternoon. Rev. Dr. M:Kim's friends say that the vse of his name as a candidate for bishop of the new diocese is unwarranted and un- authorized. re- ——— Trips to Fort Monroe.

SOME SCHOLARLY ADDRESSES MADE Sympathy Expressed for the Ar- menian Sufferers. THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS The sessions of the closing day of the national conference of Unitarian and other Christian churches began at 9 o'clock this morning at Metzerott Hall in the presence of another large audience. The work of the day began with a devotional service, conducted by Rev. Edward Hall of Orange, N. J. During the hour there were eloquent and earnest addresses on the subject of man’s relation to God by Rev. Mr. Calthrop of Syracuse, N. ¥., and Rev. Mr. Richard W. Boynton of Massachusetts. As has been the case at all the day ses- sions of the conference, the audience this morning was made up largely of women, who evinced the deepest interest in all the proceedings. The principal business of the morning con- sisted of the reading of papers by several of the leading divines who are in attendance upon the conference. President Frizzell of Hampton College ex- tended a cordial invitation to all delegates to pay a visit to that institution during their stay in this part of the country. At ‘the conclusion of his Lrief remarks a reso- lution was introduced by Rev. 8. J. Bar- rows expressing the sympathy of the con- ference with the Armenians. Sympathy for the Armenians. The resolution, which was referred to the business eommittee, was as follows: Resolved, That this conference extend its deep sympathy to the suffering people of Armenia, whose loyalty to their Christian faith has brought upon them anew the terrible rigors of persecution from which they have suffered for centuries. In the Chas. C. Everett, LL.D. name of humanity, we protest against the outrages committed under Turkish mis- Tule. We recognize tRe responsibility of the treaty powers to secure governmental reform, the better administration of jus- tice in the courts and the enjoyment of perfect liberty of conscience. We look n expectation and confidence to the re- sults of the determined action of the En- glish goverament in this direction. Rev. Mr. Brown's Essa The first of the essayists of the morning was Rev. Howard N. Brown of Boston, who spoke on the topic, “The Holy Spirit.” In the course of his address Mr. Brown said that a sufficient definition for present pur- pores is to say that the Holy Spirit is Gol made manifest in the mind and soul of man. The basis cf belief in the Holy Spirit is the consciousness and experience of the race. ny or question the fit- ness of this werd “holy” used in this con- nection have no right to discredit evidence gained frem the life of humanity because of an alleged lack of evidence in the out- ward world. If nature be godless it is all the more certain that what is best in the fe of man is not derived from nature alone. One great advantage of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit at this time is that it dces not profess too much. In effect it only asks men to assume that a principle of actual goodness is planted in the nature of things, and this supplies what is of first importance—a working hypothesis that wil support good endeavor. Beyond this it is a positive Implication ef the doctrine that we may trust the im- pulses of our higher nature, as we trust the wisdom of the instincts springing from the lower nature. It means that, though not ertirely free from error, the voice of con- science is in the main the voice of God. It is also a basis for hope in the future; for what the Holy Spirit desires to build that the future will surely see. Mr. Gannett on “Incarnation.” “Incarnation” was the subject allotted to Rev. Mr. William C! Gannett of Rochester, ¥. His appearance upon the platform evoked enthusiastic applause on the part of the audience. “Go@ and man,” said Rev. Mr. Gannett, “are in essence one. Man must rely upon imagery to depict the unknown in terms of the known. So we picture God in the form of man. To say that God made man of His own likeness is but to say the same thing the other way around. If man knew anything higher than man he would have figured his gods in its likeness, but as he did not he was compelled to content him- self with depicting the gods in human guise.” Mr. Gannett discussed in a scholarly man- ner the subject of anthropomorphism. Ihe crient, he said, loves the idea of the incar- nation and has what it loves. But it is the Roman and Greek conceptions of the incarnation that we are more familiar with. So he came down to the subject in modern Christianity, which, he said, more than any other form of religion had realiz- ed the man-likeness of God. The necessa! elements to the Christian conception were furnished by the»Jews and by the Greeks, and from the mingling came our idea. The Jew furnished the physical, the Greek the spiritual. Son of man—Jew. Son of God— Greek. Figuration—Jew; transfiguration— Greek. Be the doctrine’ of Christendom’s Geo. W. Stone. God true or false, it is well that Athan- asus won the victory on the field of Nicoea. It was well that Europe started upon the troublous centuries following upon the break up of the Roman empire. Fur- ther, it made the unity between God and man real. The belief In the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ has made it impossible for all time to set up any idea less gcod than He as the symbol of God, for we can- not conceive of God as less good than our conception of Christ. z ‘All theologies, said Mr. Gannett, are but statements and not the final word. They are dangerous when we think of them as anything else, and Mr. Gannett spoke earnestly of man’s right to freedom of thought. “Unitarians,” said Mr. Gannett, “make a great mistake when we speak of orthodoxy as error. Is that all the acumen we have? not to say all the heart? And yet I am not sure that our orthodox friends would prefer the word kindergarten to the word. error. To xpeak of error {s to antagonize, but I am not sure that the average man would not rather be antagonized than pat- ronized. Yet I have used the idea of the kindergarten in conversation with orthodox J is at peace with God.

This might smack of pantheism; then let it be so. The idea of incarnation is always mystic; it frequently verges upon the pantheistic. Mr. Pulford on “Atonement.” Rev. W. Hanson Pulford of Waltham, Mass., spoke on tonement.”” One hindrance to high living, he said, is the lack of clear ideas. Of nothing is this more true than of the doctrine of the ‘atonement. The constant endeavor on the pagt of many to put the new wine of truth, even carefully diluted, into the old bottle of doctrine has resulted in hopeless confusion. It would be well for us to try to clear the air. In its traditional form the doctrine may be said to declare that man by nature is wholly evil and under the wratn of that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, by satisfying God's anger, enables him to for: who accepts the atoning work on the cross This doctrine we en- tirely reject. It rests on the infallible authority of Scripture. We look upon Scripture as the fallible record of the grow- ing life and thought of men. It looks upon man as depraved. we look upon him rather as imperfect; upon his evil as good in the making. A fuller sen justice makes it impessible for us to think of God either as punishing the just or allowing evil to go free from its inevitable consequences. 7 ° John Fiske. Finally the thought of God as needing to be satisfied before He can forgive is a thought which is lower than that even of a good father. It is no divine thought. In the place of such a mechanical theory we would present that “Ministry of Recon- ciliation”” which was the inspiration of the carly church. It confronts the fact that human life is 1 tissue of antagonisms. We seek pleasure; duty appears irreconcilable with it. The common life of inan is an- tagonized by whatever glimpses of the ideal he may obtain. The good which we look upon as our own is in opposition to the good of those who are about us. God and man stand opposed to one another. ‘To re- move this opposition is the great work of religion. It proposes to remove it, not by doctrine, but by the inspiration and the unfolding of that larger life of which we are as yet only dimly conscious. It sees that as the true nature of man develops he will discover that the call of duty is, after all, only the call of his own highest delight; that the demands of the good of those about him are the same thing as the call of his own nature for its highest satis- faction; that God is not a power outside, whose demands are contrary to His own will, but the power within, obedience to which is perfect freedom, in whose service is life. This process is as universal as hu- manity. It is the exclusive property of no one religion. In working for it we are working with the universe, whose secret is reconciliation, the losing of the antago- nisms of imperfect life in the fuller har- mony of the life which knows that truth in which contradictions are lost, and that fullness of high living where the human finds that it is one with the divine. Rev. Mary Safford’s Address. The closing address of this interesting, if rather deep series, was delivered by Rev. Mary A. Safford of Sioux City, Ia., on the subject, “Forgiveness.” “God's greatness,” she said in her opening sentence, “flows round our incompleteness; round our rest- lessness, His rest.” Physical laws, she said, are unchange- able. A man knows that the sun will set at the close of day, though at its going down he must die. Moral laws are as immutable as the laws of nature. A human father may forgive an erring son, but years of dissipation have done a work which nothing ean undo. All repentance cannot undo the wrongs that young man may have done, and what we have done makes us what we are. Yet our Heavenly Father loves us even before we come to him, and true repentance removes the wall that separates us from a better and higher life. God's law has rot been set aside or changed; our relations to it are altered. “The divine law,” she said, “is as love—full as divine law is law—fuil.” At the conclusion of the series of addresses Rev. W. I. Laurance spoke on “The Japan Mission.” Mr. Laurance was at the head of the mission from 1891 to 1804. He told cf the work the mission has done since its or- ganization, and gave a number of reasons why it should be maintained. Officers Elected. The annual election of officers for the en- suing year resulted in the choice of the fol- lowing: President, George F. Hoar, Worces- ter, Mass.; vice presidents, Carroll D. Wright, Washington, D.

At the entrance to Metzerott Hall there has-been on exhibition during the confer- ence an interesting collection of photo- graphs and literature giving a comprehen- sive idea of the scope and resources of the Tusi.czee Normal and Industrial Institute of Tuskegee, Ala., whose principal, Mr. Booker T. Washington, sprang into fame by his speech at the opening of the At- lanta exposition. Although the institute is undencminational in character it has re- ceived considerable support from Uni- tarians, ard the exhibit has been care- fully studied by the delegates to the con- ference. Alliance of Unitarian Women. Several important meetings were held yesterday afternoon in connection with the national Unitarian conference. Two of these were held at All Souls’ Church. The National Alliance of Unitarian Women held a meeting at 2:30 o'clock, presided over by Mrs. B. Ward Dix of Brooklyn. ‘The reports of*the corresponding secre- tary, Mrs. Emily Fifield, and of the treasurer, Mrs. Flora A. Close, were re- ceived and adopted. Vice presidents and directors for the ensuing year were then elected, as follows: Vice presidents, Kate Gannon Wells of Boston, Ellen W. Stan- wood of Cincinnati, Caroline I.

May of Pennsylvania, Victoria M. ardson of Illinois, Kate M. Guiwitz of Mis- souri, and Clara A. Barrett and Elizabeth B. Easton of California. Temperance Union. Later a public meeting was theld at the church under the auspices of the Unitarian Temperance Union. The topic for the meet- ing was “Modern Methods in Temperance Reform,” and the presiding officer of the meeting was Rev. C. R. Eliot, the presi- dent of the society. Prof. Francis G. Pea- body, the secretary of the committee of fitty for the investigation of the liquor problem, spoke on what has been done by the committee. He was followed by Rev. D. N. Beach of Cambridge, who spoke upon the righteousness of the Norwegian princi- ple, and the importance of its application in temperance reform. A paper by Rev. A. P. Doyle, general s retary of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, was read, in his absence, by Dr. Eliot. Young People’s Societies. At the meeting of the young people's so- cieties it Metzerott Hall Mr. G. W. Stone presided and Rev. G. W. Cooke made an appeal to the churches to take a more vital and active interest in the young people and their religious welfare. When it came to the matter of union, a resolution was adopted to the effect that a committee on organization be appointed, consisting of Rey. A. W. Gould, Mrs. Mary A. Safford and Mrs. E. M. Williams. A resolution was offered by Mr. Gculd, urging the churches to form young people's societies. Mr. Brown, Rev. Ida C. Hultin, Rev. Mr. Prescot, Mr. G. H. Ellis and Mrs. A. @. Spicer spoke on the name to be chosen. The question was finally settled by the adoption of a set of resolutions, referring the selection of a name to a committee, to report at a meeting in Boston next May. Interesting Papers. Metzerott Hall was crowded with a rep- resentative gathering for the evening ses- sion, when two papers of the greatest in- terest were read. The first was by Dr. John Fiske on “The Origin of Liberal Thought in America.” Dr. Charles C. C. Everett, dean of the Harvard Theological School, spoke on the subject, “Our Unitarian Theology.” The difference between Christianity and other religions, he said, is that the former is re- vealed, others are natural; in it God seeks men, and the others, men seek God. Be- cause it rejected such schemes, Unitarian- ism has been regarded as made up of ne- gations, but as they were mainly negations of negations, they were really affirmations. Thus, Unitarians were ready to greet more giadly than most other religions the doc- trine of evolution. Unitarians who accepted part or all of the New Testament stories of the miraculous see in them manifestations of higher laws, instead of a breaking through of all laws. ——__. FINED FOR ASSAULT. ‘Wm. J. Yates Was Mistaken in Rosie Slaughter. ‘The case of William J. Yates, the clerk in Thomas Reedy's furniture store, against whem a charge of assault was preferred several weeks ago by a colored girl named Rosie Slaughter, was tried in the Police Tourt today. Lawyer C. Maurice Smith, who represented the defendant, withdrew his demand for a jury trial, and Judge Miller heard the case. The girl testified that she went in the store to buy some furniture, and Yates took her to the top floor. There, she said, he took hold of her and made an indecent Proposition to her. She screamed, but no one responded. The defendant, she said, offered her some furniture if she would submit to him, Yates, in his own behalf, testified that he did not assault her, although he admitted having made the proposition to her. He judged from her actions that she would consent, but she refused. The girl, he said, did not scream. The court listened to arguments in the case, after the other witnesses had been heard, and fined Yates $50 or sixty days. The fine was paid. —>—_—_ Hotel Arrivals. Hamilton—S. H.

Bur- roughs on the ground of adultery. The divorce is a sequel to a Police Court case, Mr. Burroughs being charged last spring with assaulting Thos. G. Hoover.

In his petition for divorce Mr. Burroughs charged his wife with infidelity with both Hoover and other persons unknown to him. Both Hoover and the woman denied the charge, however. The Wrong House.

It turned out that the old man lives in Georgetown and had been wandering about the city all day, look- ing for his home. His friends were notified and he was taken home. SS Funeral of Mrs. Thomas S.

Object Lesson,No.2 It needs no argument to enable the aver- age Maa or woman to appreciate the de- posit feature of @ trust company. In this regard a trust company is very different from a bank. The bank solicits “active” accounts of merckants and traders, dis- counts thelr paper as an accommodation and pays no interest. The trust company solicits “inactive” accounts—the deposits of those merchants who desire to have a “personal” account; of treasuries of churches, organizations, associations, cor- porations, and of those men and women who desire to pay their personal accounts by check and at the same time allow an accumulation for the inevitable “rainy day." Upon all such accounts this company pays interest, which 1s credited on your bank book every six months, according to your average balance. It only loans its money upon real estate and quickly convertible collateral securities. ‘This company solicits your account, and will pay you interest thereon.
