The discussion by Prof. Josiah Royce
and hi;- friends on the Conception of

must be owned will not prove to the

a complementary essay by Prof. Royce,
In which he trots his antagonists up
and down the line ln a manner partly
Greek, partly German, and wholly his
own. The nature of the discussion
may he Indicated at once by the fact
that it was begotten in a desire to have
Prof. Royce elucidate some of the prin
ciples found In his "Religious Aspects
of Philosophy," which had been un
der study and discussion by his hosts.
In the address we are given the same
principles, but restated in an entirely
fresh way. The author insists upon
omniscience as the note of the Abso
lute, and argues from an experiential
basis of human knowledge, either by
Its soundness or unsoundness, to a Be
ing who should Include In His con-
H-BBtesa all tha T'Ossibilities of ex
p. nonce and should so be a true Abso
lute because in a real sense this Being
Is the All.
a&esea argues that the Being proved
by Royce is only ln fact the Being
who is exposed by the knowing process
that connects us with the complex of
the physical universe. He may be an
Absolute, he is not a God. Goodness
requires progress, but progress de
_•_ completeness, at any rate the
completeness described by Royce, so
that if the Absolute be complete, as
by definition he must be, then alas,
he is not good.
Prof. Le Conte comes into the discus
sion to say that Royce represents the
formula of Hesel that God is thought,
and this is no more true than to say
He is power or love. He also argues
in favor of evolution as an explana
tion of the world, and asserts that its
outcome is the triumph of goodness,
er r.^sr, ration, and also Immortality.
Prof. Howison will have none of the
Idealistic monism which Prof. Royce
has described. He believes in a "City
bt God" as the impelling power of the
world, and there is no conpeiling pow
er. The Royce idea of God is wholly
Insufficient; for omniscience does not

imply a moral being. There can he no
Cod without conscience. Can God be
said to have an "experience" In any
real sense, and still remain change
less? But does not this monism really
destroy the moral basis of the finite
man? Conscience depends upon the
reality of distinct persons, who have
rights and duties. •
More than half the book is taken up
with the supplemental essay by Prof.
Royce in which he discusses the ques
tions raised as to the relations of ths
Absolute and Individual. He expands
his doctrine of experience. He argues
that the Absolute haa will as well as
omniscience, but he analyzes the con
ception of will, having left only "at
tention" as Its chief note, and finds
that compatible with an Absolute ex
perience. He also finds that the divine
choice is the only basis of the real
possible. He flouts and tears Into
shreds the popular notion of individ
uality, discusses over again the
scholastics, Thomas Aquinas and
Duns Scotus, and with such an evi
dent relish that one ls tempted to be
lieve that the learned professor is
something of a scholastic himself. He
argues for Individualism as the sense
of contrast one has to the universe,
and that is on the moral side. The
rest of experience is identical with
that of God. There Is a true monism
everywhere else, but not In the moral
experiences of the Individual. Retort
might be made that it would be easy
for Boyce, perhaps for another, to
swallow up this moral element also in
an Absolute Idealism. But it is
athletic thinking.

"The New God."
Many strange and not a few
rarely strong things have appeared In
the Harpers' Odd Number Series — a
scries made up of translations from
foreign rarities, things weird and curd
ling, like De Maupassant's tale 3, or
nobly miserable like "The House by
the Medlar Tree," but rarely things
that are simply commonplace. Perhaps
"commonplace" is not just the

adjective to apply to Richard
Yobs' "The New God"— translated by
Mary A. Robinson from the German —
for in some respects the book is as
unique as possible, yet "commonplace"
is the word one finds uppermost in
one's vocabulary wher**-tH% volume is
closed, so it shall stand. This is a tale
of the crucifixion with a lurid back
ground of wickedness and misery,
through which moves the ghastly fig
ure of Tiberius. The story Is devoutly
meant and is intended to exalt Christ
and the Christians, but it is utterly
pagan in its spirit, unspiritual
and Inadequate. The Gospelers
were great artists as well as
great saints, and he. who. would re
tell their story without Its potent sim
plicity undertakes a thankless task.
Mr. Voss' Pontius Pilate ls- simply mon
strous, yet not so monstrous .by half
at his Christ, who hypnotizes his judge,
into condemning him, an innocent man,
to a horrible death and then uses all the
powers of heaven to avenge this mur
der on his helpless tool. Had the book
been written to disgust one with the
flrst Christians it would be easier of
comprehension, for they are almost
without exception represented as hate
ful, vindictive, neurotic, hysterical and
insane— uncured in either body or mind
by the healing presence of the Christ.
There is a certain mysticism about
the book that might appeal, but this
element is so much stronger, so much
more beautiful and spiritual in the
lovable early "Lives of the Saints,"
from whence Mr. Voss has lifted it,
that one resents its presence in a book
so earthly, inane and futile as "The
New God."

"Mollies Prince."
If you happen to like this sort of
thing, why, this is the sort of thing
you like. There is a beautiful lame
girl in it, one of the family of an im
poverished artist, and she accidentally
attracts the attention of an affable
young nobleman who is looking about
for a woman not wholly of the con
ventional type. He woos her as the
charming gentlemen in fairy tales al
waya woo — would that men of flesh
} and blood knew enough to take a few
lessons of them!— and it all ends as
happily as possible. Mollies sister
also secures a very agreeable prince
of her own, and even the impecunious
father is made happy by marriage
with an heiress who had loved him
in his youth, and had remained faith
ful to what strikes the reader as a
very inadequate fragment of a ro
mance for an attractive and wealthy
young woman. The beauty of Miss
Carey's characters is that they have
absolutely- no common sense, but are
made happy by a watchful Providence
which rewards them according to
their deserts after the kindly fashion
of Providence as conceived by some
story-writers.

"Hope, th. Hermit."
Miss Lyall's latest novel ls historical
in character and deals with the ad
| ventures of a seventeenth-century
! child, left to die by an unnatural fath
er, beside a Cumberland brook. Of
course, the boy lives and thrives and
undergoes many vicissitudes in his
search for fortune, friends, a name
and the right to love. His adventures
are placidly told in Miss Lyall's well
known style, and, If the narration
does not excite, neither does it bore.

Literary Notes.
The January Atlantic opens with a discrim
inating comparison between the destructive
and constructive energies of our government,
by President Eliot,- of Harvard uni
versity. President Eliot pays a high tribute
ta the skill and energy developed by our gov
ernment Ln the management of the late war.

but shows that tho energies of all govern
ments must be developed by the constructive
arts of peace. Dr. George B. Grinnell, au
thor of "The Story of the Indian," begins a
series of novel and charming papers ou the
Indian. Dr. Grinnell has lived much among
the red men, and knows his subject perhaps
better than any other living man. The
reminiscences of Prince Kropotkin bring
the author to the crucial poiut ln his career
when he graduated from a military school
and took service ln a Siberian regiment. This
narrative contrasts strikingly with the peace
ful tenor of Mrs. Howe's reminiscences of her
life amidst cultivated surroundings and dis
tinguished people, L. B. R. Brlggs, dean of
Harvard university, contributes an unusual
paper under the suggestive title, "Fathers,
Mothers aud Freshmen." He makes an in
teresting statement of the relation of tho
family to tho college student and college au
thorities, aud critiaiaes many parents for sins
which are visited upon their children.

The Art Amateur for January contains a
color plate, "Winter in Holland," which is
a well executed snow scene. The supplement
designs are equally practical and are for
china painting, wood carving, pyrography and
embroidery. The text in this most interest
ing number includes the following articles:
"Phil May," illustrated by that artist;
"Flower Painting," "Drawing for Illustra
tion," "Landscape Painting, in Both Oil and
Water Colors," "Progressive Wood Carving
and Embroidery." There is a perfect feast
of good things for the ceramic decorator,
while "The House" has a library and parlor
furnished ln Indian style, "The Collector*'
and "The Note Book" discuss art topics ot
general interest. Moutagup Marks, in his
London letter, gives an account of the lith
ographic exhibition: we nole that the place ot
honor was given to the Art Amateur color
plates.

It is net generally known that Thomas Har
dy, whom "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" made
famous a_ over the world, is, in addition to
hie talent as a novelist, a poet and an artist
of no mean order. Throughout the last
twenty-five years while he wrote his novels,
he also has written a great deal of poetry,
and has wielded fhe brush with the hand of
a master. Only recently did he consent to
the publication of half a hundred of these
poem;', which are to be brought out about
the flrst of the year by Harper & Bros., and
which deal with the aualnt and beautiful
country life of Wessex which he has de
scribed in such charming way ln his prose
works. Mr. Hardy has also consented to tho
use of his own drawings, and the volume will
contain some thirty illustrations by the sama
hand that drew the worid-ronowned Tess.

One of Pe?.n Farrar's novels has been
dramatized by Chillingha.m Hunt, a well
known English elocutionist. The dean has
expressed satisfaction with the play, which
is completed, and the next interesting event
will be the production. Will Dean Farrar's
play, we wonder, compete with "The Sign of
the Cross" or, perhaps, "The Christian?"—

"In accordance with the usual cus

today (Friday), which was attended
by all the marshals except Martinez de
Campos, who is Indisposed. More than
1,000 passed before their majesties the
most observed ln the throne room be
ing Gen. Weyler and Gen. Polavieja.
They were the most prominent com

of sightseers outside the palace gazed
silently upon the brilliant throng.
"At a meeting of the Conservatives
tomorrow (Saturday) night Senor Sil

announce their acceptance of a com
mon programme and Gen. Polavieja
will recognize Sll vela's leadership, with
the full assent of Marshal Campos,
Marshal Prima de Rivera, Gen. Azcar

only two small and Influential dissi

"In view of the extraordinary spec

not be strange If the real end of the

"In the main it must be said that

FIST BLOW FATAL
Jersey City Young Men Ilslit With
Knuckles and One Ia Killed.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.— To settle a dis
pute George Tyler and Thomas Foley,
two young men of Jersey City, fought
with their bare fists so effectually
that Tyler was killed. Ostensibly the
dispute was about the outcome of a
game of pool, but friends of Tyler say
that they were rival suitors to a girl.
They met under the Montgomery
street bridge, stripped to their shirts
and started in. They had fought about
five minutes, with honors even, when
Foley struck Tyler a terrific blow on
the neck just below the Adam's apple.
Tyler spun around and fell face down
ward, with arms extended. Foley put
on his coat, washed his hands and,
being assured that he had won a
square battle, started for a ball in
Woods' hall.
After working over Tyler for half
an hour the boys Who witnessed the
fight, not knowing that he was dead,
picked Tyler up and carried him to his
home, about two blocks away. A doc
tor who was summoned from the city
hospital said that he had been instant
ly killed by Foley's blow. Foley can
not be found.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.— Richard Price,
a former convict, today attempted to
murder his mistress and commit sui
cide, in a somewhat novel and horrible
manner. The woman was Mrs. Han
non, with whom, until lately, Price liv
ed for six years. They separated a
month ago, on account of Price's al
leged cruelty. Last night they met,
and Price compelled the woman to go
with him to A. Blockster's hotel. When
she was in bed he gave her whisky,
believed to have been drugged. Then
Price turned on the unlighted gas jet.
He shoved his trousers against the
door on the floor, so that asphyxia
tion would be sure. The woman arose
from her bed in terror. Price knocked
her down and held her mouth over a
gas stove which was in the room. Just
before 'she was overcome she screamed.
A man near by, in another room, heard
her. He broke open the door and pre
vented the murder of the woman and
suicide of Price. The woman was un
conscious, but will probably recover.
Price, "whom the gas had not seriously
affected, was arrested.

MADAGASCAR BLUE BOOK
Made Pretext for British Attack
Upon France.
LONDON, Jan. 7.— A1l the morning
papers comment upon the Madagas
car blue book, issued yesterday, ask
ing how it is possible to live in amity
with a country which tramples upon
treaty rights and treats a friendly
country in such a manner. The Times
says:
"It is a good thkig for the world's
peace that we are able to possess our
selves in patience under the pin pricks
of the French government, which, un
der the cover of grandiloquent praises,
habitually acts with hostility and the
shortsighted cunning of the peasant."

The annual meeting ot tbe teachers' asso
ciation, scheduiaid to Oobm off ys-terrdajr aftr
ernoon wais postponed until Tuesday after
noon, on account of Mrs. Burbank's lectur3.
Tha meeting will be an Important one, aa
In addition to the election of officers and
the reports of committees, the "special or
der" of legislation will be taken up and
some definite steps taken. The subject of
uppermost importance is that of securing an
additional tax levy of one mill for school
purposes. In order to bring this about It
will be necessary to pass a general !aw
which will make the increase in the levy
optional with all olties of 50,000 and over.
Of course some opposition will be made by
Minneapolis and Duluth, but the legislative
committee hopes to adjust all differences in
a bill which will meet the views of all In
terested. At present 2% mills is tho amount
levied for school purposes. This will under
no olroumstencas yield a revenue of more
than $420,000, which has long since become
Inadequate to operate . the sohools on thoir
present basis.
• • •
The legislative committee are preparing a
bill carrying with it such an increase, and
the teachers' penwion bill, which has already
been published in The G1 o b c, will be pre
sented to the legislature at the tame rime.
Senator Snyder will probably be the father
of the pension bill in the upper house, and
the tax levy bill will be presented by one of
the local delegation.
• • «
The committee will be abetted in Its efforts
to secure the adoption of the desired legis
lation, by the school board, and many friends
of tlie school?. The matter has long been a
vital one to the schools, ac the board of
eehool inspectors has from year to year
wrestled with an inadequate appropriation.
The running expenses of the schools have
steadily Increased every year, while the tax
levy for school purposes has not been adjust
ed to meot the growing demands, on the con
trary, the assessed valuation has been cut
some-thing like $20,000,000 decreasing the
school appropriations materially.

GRABBED THE MONEY.
Bold and SncceuMfnl HoUd-rp ln n
Milwaukee- Store.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 7.— One of
the boldest hold-ups ever attempted
in this city was committed today in the
C. F. G-robman music store, located In
the Uihleln building, at Fourth street
and Grand avenue. The highwayman
entered the store and grabbed- *70Q in
money, which Mr. Grobman val
counting, preparatory to taking it to
the bank, rushed past Walter Grob
man, who was in the rear of the store,
and made his escape before the occu
pants of the place were aware of what
was taking place. Mr. Grobman Sr.
was rendered unconscious from a blow
with the butt end of a revolver, and
efforts of physicians up to a late hour
fulled to revive him. So quickly did
the highwayman do his work that
young Grobman is unable to give a
good description of him. The police
will undoubtedly have a hard time ln
running the criminal to earth.
