for Safety.
BEAUMONT. Tex.. May 13.-Speclal
Correspondence.) It seems to be my
duty to furnish the -world -with a vera
cious chronicle of the great struesle for
supremacy today, between the; Houston
Hot lumbers and the Beaumont Warm
Babies, champion "-colored" nines of
their respective towns. I can only de-
scribe the part "which I saw, and
of which I was, or came near being".
"When my party left the "battle ground,
with more haste than elegance, about
two hundred excited "coons" were chas
ing a certain unhappy Houston rooter
across the fields, with full intent to do
damage to his features, and spill some
of the bad blood that exists between
Houston and Beaumont. As near as I
know, the fugitive escaped under a box
car in a convenient freight yard, about
a half a mile away from the ball grounds.
The game had suffered a slight Inter
ruption by the melee, but there were
three Houston men on bases when we
retired, and the score otherwise indicated
that the visiting team would win if the
frame were allowed to end peaceably
and in approved form,
The Houston Hot Numbers appeared in
Beaumont early yesterday morning. A
Eitne had been scheduled for the after
noon, but through some misunderstand
ing the home nine was not Teady. The
visitors were all dressed In Inflammatory
suits of red red shirts, red pants, red
caps. The stockings that completed the
scarlet outfit were black, perhaps as a
slight concession to the proprieties. The
visitors swaggered around town- during
the day and excited quite a great deal
of notice, not only the colored people,
but the whites as "well. It became known
everywhere that the Houston crowd had
come eighty miles for a baseball game
and for trouble. So this afternoon the
entire colored population started eagerly
for the scene of the fray on the outskirts
of the city. As many of the white popu
lation as could permit themselves the
luxury of a breathing spell from the
strenuous search after fortunes in oil
joined the rush. Among the latter were
my brother, George U. Piper. "W". H.
Paulhamus, of Tacoma, and myself. "We :
drove out In a two-seated rig. On the
way we overtook a natty-loo"klng jigger
(there are no "colored men" or "negroes'"
In the southeastern Texas vocabulary).
He wore white lavender trousers, a bue
coat and a black derby, and a capacious
smile.
"Gwlne to de ball game, gents?" he
inquired.
"Yes." . ,
"You suhtunly bettah stay away from
dah. Dih's suah gwlne to be trouble-"
But we went on. We saw this colored
gentleman later with his captivating grin
discarded and his war paint on.
When we' reached the grounds, which
were enclosed by the customary board
fence, we found to our regret and dls--may
that we could not drive in.
"Iar ain't no gate big enough for
dem bosses an dit cyarrlge, cap'n,"
said the door-keeper. "Jes git a nigger
to Tiold dat team, and pay a quahtah
apiece, and yous can sure come Inside."
We negotiated with a waiting colored
person to look after the horses for
twenty-five cents. Later we saw a row
"of "heads -above the fence on the other
side of the field. The hostler had In
vited his friends to a gratuitous view
of things from the seats of the vehicle.
Umpire Rctrented in Good Order.
The game was on the point of begin
ning. There was no grandstand and no
bleachers, and the crowd found seats the
best way they could in the shade of the
big board fence. Chairs were provided
for the ladles, of whom not a few were
present, many of .them in elegant rag
time costumes of green, red or yellow.
The sun was very hot.
The Houstons took the field, and the
Bcaumonts, whose modest blue and
black suits were In striking contrast to
the nlgger-mlnstrel attire of their op
ponents, were at the bat We found seats
on a board between two dark and ex
pectant lines of spectators. Nothing
happened worth describing for quite a
while. The right fielder muffed a fly.
"Dat gander-legged nigger couldn't
ketch nuthlnV' growled a Beaumont
rooter. Soon the boy caught one. "Dat
nigger at de Tiat might jest as well er
knocked dat ball into a box-car. He
su?h did grab dat ball," howled the
rooter. Circumstances alter cases.
There was all along- a great clatter of
conversation and a continual fire of com
pliments between the crowd, the umpire,
the rooters and the plajers. The umpire
retired at the ending of the first Inning.
His rank ruling excited Indignation every
where. "X ain't g-ot dls. -skin of mine in
suhed against ha'm," he said, in ex
plaining bis withdrawal.
"Dat pltchah and dat catchah Is
bruddahs," said one of our neighbors.
The catcher was nearly white, and might
easily, at least at a distance, have been
mistaken for a white man. The pitcher
was jet black. But that did not seem
to make their close kinship -singular,
some people In the South still continue to
overloook the color line in arranging
their domestic affairs.
A red-shlrted batter knocked the ball
over the fence, and a red streak flashed
around the bases. The ball was lost, as
had been several others, and the colored
ground manager set up a loud wail.
Tse losin mo'h money by havln dem
balls knocked over de fence dan I takes
in at de gate," he cried, amid the
laughter and jeers of the unsympathetic
crowd. He seemed also to be the "angel"
of the local team. A rooter called the
home-runner over to him and with great
ceremony presented him with a quarter.
The proud player tied the coin in a hand
kerchief, and swaggered back to the
bench.
"Nevah mine dat pltchah," howled the
coacher to a runner on first. "He's wall-
eyed, an' lie's got his colt's teef yet. An
he's slow. Yas, he's slow. He's always
twenty minutes late, like de local freight.
He can't bat out nuffln. Now he's Ios'
his eye. He got his eye on dat chicken,
and he suah forgot his cuhves."
A Domlnlck roooster had somehow got
ten through the crowd and was now the
cynosure to every darky eye as he
walked calmly across the field toward the
home plate, serenely unconscious that he
was in the enemy's country. How he es
caped I do not know, for the attention
of our party was suddenly "dlstracted'by
a disturbance on our left. Evidently
there was a fight. Two negroes arose out
of the crowd and were busily hammer
ing "away at each other. There was a
great running to and fro, and then the
antagonists broke out from the crowd.
A man hastily let down his suspenders
and joined in. Another appeared on the
outskirts of the melee with a large razor
In his right hand. He held it low and
was evidently waiting for a chance to
give a long sweep at some enemy. He
was our friend -of the road.
Anirry Raxor Han Pulled Avroy.
JTfcih's iQeasah in -de, middle of it. Jes'
countnnie!in,'"and one of our neighbors
rushed into the fray.
"I ain't mixln in no culluhed rows,"
said another, who had been acting as
"marshal. His emblem of ofQce1 were?
a large club In his right hand, and a
brick bat in his left rear, pocket. The
brick stuck out palnfullly and gave -the
officer the appearance of having, a bad
attack of hip disease. "I doan tangle
myself up In no nlggah musses, whe'h
my frien's ain't In," he continued, as'he
promptly climbed the 'fence and dropped
on the outside.
4What's It all about," we inquired of
another gent, who seemed to be taking
only a languid interest in the proceed-'
lngs.
"I dunno, sah. Two coons flghtln
ober a nickel, I expecks'-he replied.
"If? sumfin about a chalh," volunteered
another spectator. And so it was. But
of the merits of the dispute over posses
sion of-the-chair we are-still in ignorance.
"Looks like a suah-enough gun fight,"
said a pale-looking mulatto, and' lie made
record time getting over the fence. My
brother hesitated between, his strong In
clination to follow suit and a great de
sire to get a kodak picture of the seeth
ing black mess. His. artistic sense con
quered, and he stayed; hut I regret to say
that in the excitement he forgot to press
the button. A frleridly post 'Intervened
betweeen me and 'any possible fatality.
Paul's curiosity overcame his well-known
jense of discretion, "and he "rubbered"
around in dangerous proximity to the
razor, which was still flashing Its way
among the combatants with no apparant
results. Suddenly someone grabbed the
razor-fighter by the arm and hauled him
off. Everybody was trying to get In It,
or out of It, just as his fancy or his- fears
seized him. The riot grew, but It con
sisted mostly of loud' talk, and pushing
and jamming and crowding. Then the
storm center moved rapidly toward the
gate, and passed noisily out, followed
by about two hundred persons. We sup
posed it was all over, but It was not.
There was a large commotion outside,
and on the Inside a concerted rush for
the fence to see the renewal of the row.
It was transpired by this time that one
of the combatants was from Houston,
and it appeared to be proper to make an
example of him. So the crowd took after
him. About all we saw of it was a lively
movement through the cracks of the
fence, the bobbing up and down of multi
tudinous curly heads, and a wild chase,
joined In by two men on horseback, down
the road, and across the field to the
freight yard, where the pursuit ended.
A long line of negroes stood- on the
fence and watched the hunt, and the
ball game for a few minutes was much
negjected. Then we thought it the time
or disappearing. When we reached our
hostler, we asked him what became of
the fighters.
"Suah, I dunno, sah. But dey came up
to me, and I put my hand, in heah,"
(pointing to his shirt front as if to show
that he had a gun there) 'and dey trab
beled on." - E. Bi P.
AN EVANSVILLE TRAGEDY.
Tonne Man Shot His Neighbor and
Wife, Then Killed Himself.
EVANSVILLE. Ind., May 19. Everett
Conway, aged 27, married, shot and killed
C. "W. Garrison and wife In this city this
morning and fatally wounded Patrolman
Benjamin Wallis. After being driven to
desperation "by- the "police, Conway then
-killed hlm&elf.
The crime was committed in the lower
end of the city as the church bells were
ringing. 'Conway and the Garrisons were
neighbors. The families had not been on
friendly terms for several months. Sat
urday "nornlng Conway wrote -a letter to
Garrison, saying he had cheated his -father
in a trade for a milk dairy. Garrison
showed this letter to Conway's father,
who upbraided his son. Early this morn
ing, Conway, who was employed at the
railroad yards, going to the stable where
Garrison was milking, shot him, dead-wlth
a shotgun. Then he shot Garrison's cows
to death. As Mrs. Garrison ran from
the house. Conway emptied both barrels
Into her breast. She fell dead at his feet.
The murderer next set fire to the Garri
son stable and then barricaded himself
In the house. When Patrolman Wallis
attempted to arrest him, Conway shot
him In the face and side. Inflicting a fa-v
tal wound. The entire police department'
was called out and officers surrounded
the house ready to break In when they
heard a shot. Conway had kissed hls
wife good bye, then ran up stairs and
shot himself In the heart.
Conway came from a good family,
originally from Kentucky. He left a wife
and two children. Garrison left two
children. Garrison was a prominent lodge
man.
The shot that struck Wallis brought
injury to two bystanders Edward Da
vidson and Adam Crawford. Both were
taken to the hospital, but neither is se
riously Injured. When the Coroner en
tered the house after Conway had killed
himself, he found the following note,
which the murderer had addressed to a
local newspaper:
"Well, friend readers, this will be news
for you; I will tell you why. This man
Garrison has bulldozed the whole ranch
elnce he has been here, but he run against
a snag when he struck me, so I think he
will sink. He's got the ranch under con
trol, and he got It for nothing. My dad
gave him every thing he's got
house, whole stable, corner lot, seven or
eight cows, horse, wagon, milk wagon
and everything on the place he grabbed.
He's run the whole family away, and
has caused by dad to disown me alto
gether; run me out of the house after
running me away from the corner house
two days before now. Friends, would
you stand any such racket as this? Not
me. by a Jugful. I am from. Kentucky
ou know what's In those people now.
He threatened to kill me, so I guess the
jig Is up. I don't need no tell you what I
am going to do, for it will be In sight, so
come and see for yourselves. Yours truly,
"EVERETT CONWAY."
Murder In Folsom Penitentiary.
SACRAMENTO, CaL. May 19. A quar
rel between two convicts at Folsom pris
on has resulted in murder. Last Friday,
Louis Kline and "Lazy" Miller quarreled
over a trivial matter and Kline struck
Miller over the head with a piece or
gas pipe, fracturing his skull. After Mil
ler had been struck he was called to the
captain's room and told how the fight
started. He did not appear to be In
jured and the rumpus, it seemed, amount
ed to little. Saturday afternoon how
ever. Miller complained of pains in his
head and a Folsom phvslcian was called
In. He gave It as his opinion that the
skull was fractured. Another physician
was sent for, but before he reached the
prison, Miller was unconscious. He died
before an operation could be performed.
Both Miller and Kline were serving short
terms for burglary. '

"Warning: to Xegroes.
CONNELLSVILLE. Pa.. May 19. The
town is much quieter after the terrible
excitement of last night over the murder
of Assistant Yardmaster Moore and the
attempted lynching of "William Fairfax,
the negro. By a counter movement at 3
o'clock this morning, the police diverted
the attention of the mob and then dashed
down a rear way to the railroad depot
with Fairfax and got him safely to Union
town iall. All day today a rope has
dangled from an upper story of the town
hall as a warning to the negroes of- this
vicinity..
THE NEW RA HAS BEGUN
FHILIPJPINES-SETTLE DOWN TO
PERIOD OF PROSPERITY.
General Grant Tells What Has Been
'" Accomplished Since tfae Election
Oatlook for the" Future.
'SftN F-RANCI!3CO. May-19. Brigadier
General Frederick D. Grant, who returned
'from Manila on the transport Sheridan,
speaking of the "conditions' In the "Phil
ippines, said: .
"Everything: is 'settlirnr'down and we
are gettlng'at the real work of governing
ana teaching the people. Their peculiar
national character makes them ifard sub
jects for the present Yqu must remem
ber that they were originally, pirates, that
-their civilization is' of the 14th, if' not of
the 15th,- century, and the" tendency' to
brlgandagels so great among them that
it amounts toa disease. InTnany districts
the paying-of tribute to robbers 'is consid
ered the regular thing, no more out 'of
the way than taxes. Our task now is to
give them good government In their 'mu
nicipalities, to protect them against them
selves until they' learn of the taste for
order, and then withdraw gradually from
active Interference, leaving- the towns one
at a time, as we see that they can be
trusted, but having, our troops within
striking distance for some time after w'e
leave any district, so as to insure against
a relapse. We must expect much robbery
and blrganda&e and pillage and even mur
der for a long time.
Mt' is surprising to see the results that
we have obtained In getting law' and or
der Into these people in the few months
of comparative peace. My district includ
ed the Provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga
and Bataan. with a population of. 600,000,
all Tagal provinces, and considered the
most lawless hi the islands. Now there
is not a robber band in the whole dis
trict, a condition unknown In the whole
history of the Flllpjno people. We have
In -every town of the district a local gov
ernment under a local civilian Governor.
We are building roads and teaching the
people."
General Grant expressed the opinion
that the resistance of the Insurgents was
prolonged by events In the United States
attending the last Presidential campaign.
Said he:
"The property-holding class' In the is
lands Is composed of persons who are pret-'
ty Ignorant, and could not quite under
stand the situation. They are naturally
our friends, but were under constant pres
sure to throw In -their fortunes "with the
insurgent cause. When they heard that
a party was coming into power in the
United States' rhlch was m. favor of
withdrawing the troops, and giving up the
government to the insurgents, they did
not know what to do. If they stood out
against the insurrection they would be
likely to lose their lives -and property as
soon 'as we turned our backs, i
,"Wlth that' kind of 'people, .timid, igno
rant, afraid to espouse4 cause that might
lead to their destruction, and with the
most unscrupulous element In the Islands
In charge of ,the native forces, there was
no use in going ahe?d. I stopped k active
operations after the nomination of Bryan,
and tried only to protect my own men.
i The cessation of activities had aMeblora
ble result, the slaughter of Innocent. peo
ple by the lawless element, partly sanc
tioned by the Insurgent leaders.
"Some of the'figures which I can vouch
for In the case of my own district are
appalling. In the Province of Pampanga
they killed over 1000 people because they
would not swear allegiance to the Insur
rection. In one narrow district-over 300
people were buried alive, possibly by
ladrones, but much more probably for the
same cause. One man, Lorenzo Calnayer,
killed eight men in one day within 'easy
reach of my quarters In the cases where
the perpetrators of these outrages could
be proved, I acted severely. After the
election, when the natives learned that we
were there to stay, the real end. of the
Insurrection came."
The surrender of Lieutenant-General
Mariano Trias had more effect- on the
Philippine mind, General Grant thinks,
than the manifesto issued by Aguinaldo.
General Grant will proceed Eastfn a day
or two.
3IAKING FHIENDS IN THE SUL17S.
General Bates Tells "What Was Ac
complished With a Little Silver.
SA'N FRANCISCO, May 19.-Gerieral J.
C. IBates, who has just returned from the
Philippines, is quoted in the Examiner as
giving the following account of hls deal
ings with the Sultan of Jolo and .the
manner In which he obtained the Sultan's
good will after the Islands had been ceded
by Spain:
"The Mohammedans who recognize the
Sultan of Jolo," he said, "differ from the
other natives of the island in 'the fact that
they do not .desire Independence. In fact,
they told me that they preferred to have
the protection of a strong nation, and
frankly declared that if the United, Sates
did- not want to take them, they- would
appeal to some other great country.
"As commander of the Department of
Southern Luzon, It became' my duty to
treat with the Sultan of Jolo. I ' found
his people to be very much lllce our na
tive Indians, and it seemed to me that
it would "be"" better to get them," in an
amicable mood than to go In for an In
dian war. General Otis put JIO.O&O in sifc
ver at my disposal,'- and after they had
given all the concessions that the "Gov
ernment wished, I made" a"few presents,
but they did not get a cent until they
had come to our terms. Therefs nothing
extraordinary about theeer people. Th'ay
are willing to fight, and do -not lack In
bravery, but they have little knowledge
of firearms, and are not so formidable as
the Indians of this country.
"After my first consultation with the
Sultan, the people of Manila were amazed
to learn what had been accomplished,' and
it was. declared that the United States
had in six weeks secured from the na
tives more than the" Spanish, were able
to get in three centuries. All we wanted
for a beginning was the pacification of
the country.-and to have it so Americans
may travel fre'ely without danger of mo
lestation. This we secured by continuing
the methods inaugurated by the Spanish,
who had been paying the Sultan of Jolo
almost as much money as 'we do without
obtaining any guaranty of peace in the
island."

The slot machine has won at Astoria In
Its contest against public morality. The
Proebstel law was declared Invalid by the
Jury -in a test case, who decided In favor
of the owner of one of these machines.
Gambling is a pernicious vice, and the slot
machine is one of Its most pernicious and
insidious forms. Yet law seems powerless
to protect fools from their folly, and it
will ''probably not be long again before
every nickel circulates principally through

The case was first reported as one of

NEW STAR IN- PERSEUS
THEORIES FOR THE ASTRONOMI
' CAXTHENOMEXON.
BVlaence of a TreaaenaoHB Catastro-
phela the Hea-rena Hott the
Star tVas Discovered.
On" February SO, Rev. T. D. Anderson,
of- Edinburgh, Scotland, a well-known
amateur astronomer, discovered, a new
star In the; constellation Perseus. Witn
in a few hours the startling astronomical
-news had' girt the slobe'and huge tele
scopic eyes were scannlngthe northwestern-sky
for a glimpse of this new blazing
sun.
What is this new star?' "How bright is
it? Is It reallya new star, or was there
a? faint -star in its-1 -place before? How
long will it last? How'do you account-for
it? Such are the questions put to every
astronomer, over ad over-agaln in quick
succession during the past few months.
Some of them are easy to answer, others
sre -beyond the'pQwers of. human intelli
gence at'jthe present time.
"To a casual observer, looking at the sky
on a4clear,moonless night, the glittering
star pojnts seem countless, and the ac
cession of one more would seem to be
scarcely nPticeable, unless it should be ex
ceedingly brilliant. It yasj howqver, the
appearanqe of just such a "star that led
to the preparation of the first accurate
maps of the sky, and 'when this came to
be done, It was found that the stars visible
to the eye were not Innumerable, not more
than 2900 to 2500 being visible to the aver
age eye at one time. Of these not mdre
than 300 arc at all conspicuous, and they
are arranged in such groups that any one
may, in a short time, so -familiarise
himself with such group or constellation
as to recognize at a glance any new
comer. For example, there are few per
sons, who are not so familiar with the
group of stars called the Great. Dipper,
which is now overhead at 8 o'clock In the
evening, that they would not at'once no
tice any new bright star which might ap
pear within the bowl of tjiat figure.
The new star in Perseus Is a star which
suddenly appearednear the middle of the
constellation Perseus at a point where
no Tstar was visible before. (Perseus 'is
noted for its strongly variable star Algol
from Jthe Arabian word Algul, the demon).
Nova Pefsel, the new- star, is about
equallydlstant from Algol and Alpha Per
sei, the largest' star In this constellation.
This new star was discovered indenen-
dently by several astronomers on this sldr
01 tne water, among tnem Being A. ri.
Douglass, of .Lowell Observatory, Ari
zona. What a startling phenomenon this
a star rislne from ihvlslblutvf and In
three days, atm6st, becoming-one of thet
most Driuiant jn tne neavens, tnen graau-i
aljy disappearing. Such phenoniena are
extremely rare, this star belng'thev bright
est 01 its kinao far,as known, 'certainly,
since the famouspnerobsprvei by Tycho
Brahe, In Cassiopeia, In 1572. The Vlctb-fian-
age has witnessed the outburst of
no less than, seven new. stars, among,
them the famous '"Blaze Star" of 1866, in
Corona.
' How to account for It? This is a mys
tery which it Is impossible ti solve with
certainty. It is evident that we are
here In the presence of a tremendous
catastrophe. It may be of creation, of .evo
lution, or of destruction. So -far as has
been determined, the distances of tem
porary stars are of the same order as
those of the fixed stars, so that it takes
years for their light to reach us. At
such -vast distances it is evident that the
forces In play to produce such an enor
mous outburst of light must be grand
almost beyond conception.
Various theories have been suggested
to account for. temporary stars. One Is
that two suns or stars, oncehot and bril
liant, but since grown cold and dark,
have come Into collision. Ifv such a thing
should happen, the energy of, motion, as
the two bodies meet with .the tremendous
velocities generated by thelr mutual
attraction, would be converted 'Into ther
mal energy, fusing or vaporizing all sub
stances near the points of. Impact, and
perhaps breaking the crusts of the stars
and liberating pent-up gases from within.
- Lockyer, supposes two vast swarms of
meteorltlc particles flying In different di
rections, to meet in -space, and the mil
lions of collisions of separate particles,
as the two swarms 1 pass through each
other to generate heat and to liberate
and cause to glow the various vapors.
Other theories of interest and value are
advanced by Zollner, Klinkufnes and, per
haps, the best by Seellger, of Munich: It!
being, however, of a technical nature, its
presentation here would be too long and
perhaps too complicated for the uniniti
ated. Let us rather turn to. the oracle
of Richard A. Proctor concerning such
matters In our own "little world," so huge
and yet but a mite In. the vast system'of
the universe.. This gifted writer says in
his "Myths and Marvels of Astronomy"
anent the famous "Blaze Star" referred to
before: "When a star suddenly biases
out In luster, as in the case ofT Coronae,
it -means a catastrophe disastrous prob
ably to the system pt worlds, which may
be. circling around that star. Imagine If
the sun, whlchirules -over. the planetary
system to which we belong, .were sud
denly to blaze out for a time with several
hundred times its usual luster, what,would
be -the result? The creatures on the side
of the earth turned towards it at the
time would be destroyed In, an Instant.
Those on the .dark or night hemisphere
Would not haye to waltfor their turn- till
the earth; by Totatlng; "carried them Into
view off-the destroying" sun. -in mu.cn
briefer space the -effect of his new fires
would be 'felt alh pver the earth's sur
face. The heavens would be dissolved
and the .elements would melt with f er
ventheat." MRS. L. ALTAIAN.
. How to Utilise a Murderer.
' American Journal of Sociology. -
All remedies, from castor oil to- anti
septic surgery, are the 'result of experi
ment, unless discovered by accident. If
experiments are prohibited, medical sci
ence must remain forever -practically at
a standstill: Shall the state encourage
progress In the -Increase of knowledge
andthe relief of human I11 by providing
subjects for experiment In using what is
now wasted, or worse than wasted?
Or shall the state continue to
outlaw such progress by-falling to pro
vide investigators with proper subjects
for experiment? At the present time the
progress of medical science Is interfered
with "continually by the lack of human
subjects for experimentation. It Is of
more vital Importance for the atate to
provide subjects for accredited investi
gators than it is to provide our medical
colleges with subjects for dissection In
the study of anatomy. So long as living
subjects are not provided by the state,
study for the discovery of relief of hu
man ills is outlawed, just as the study
of anatomy was outlawed when it was
necessary to rob graveyards in order to
get subjects for the, use. of students in
the dissecting room. 'The modern inves
tigator along these lines, as a rule, first
tries his experiments on animals, and
if a number of .these prove successful,
in fear and trembling he usually tries
them on some hopeless cise, under unfa
vorable conditions generally a poor hos
pital patient who is not likely to have
friends to cause trouble in case of fail
ure. If the patient dies the secret is pre
served in the bosom of the investigator,
or shared with a few professional breth
ren; If the experiment is a success, all
the world rejoices, and the discoverer Is
written down in history as a benefactor
of the race, which he surely is. Never
theless progress must be slow and nucer
taln if investigation can only be carried
on under such difficulties, which absolute
ly.- forbid all scientific investigation In
