PRESS OPINIONS.
Bill Nve Works up Scheme to Boom
 His own Lecture.

Pending brief interim between this date and the opening of the lecture season have been quite busy preparing my press notices and opiniops of my lecture in advance. The labor and annoyance of preparing opinions and press notices on lecture that has never been delivered are very great and am very glad that it is over. I have taken the liberty of putting these glowing inducements into print, intending to cut them out afterward and furnish them to my advance agent to be used hereafter in advertising the lecture. ''It was well worthy of the greatest of all ! living single handed champion collarand- elbow monologists who appeared last eve ming in his wonderful scientific olio and bazoo voluntary, delivered mainly in the United States language. It was perfect maelstrom of mirth, a cyclone of large and expensive words, snatehed from science and woven into one beautiful fabric. We were not present at the lecture, but gain the above infor- nation from the lecturer himself, who has kindly volunteered to write the above
 encomium. Sunday Morning Smartellick. ''This great intellectual What Is It de- livered his prize reverie here last evening,

A Chapter from the Diaries of the
 Greely Survivors.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-It is learned upon high military authority here that the diaries of members of the Greedy party, now in pos session of the War department, reveal quar- rels and dissensions between the members at an early stage of the expedition, disputes leading to separation into factions, repeated complaints of unnecessary and severe orders, and other circumstances reaecting upon the commander. It is further found that other accusations of thefts of provisions were made, that a mystery surrounds the death of Dr. Pavy, and during the last days at Cape Sabine two parties, headed by Sergeants Brainard and Long respectively, were not on speaking terms and were very hostile to each other, while Brainard assumed charge of Greedy and fed and cared for him like a child

Senator Anthony was born at Coventry, R. l., April 1, 1915, and graduated at Brown university in 1883. From 1888 to 1859 he was the editor of the Providence Journal and retained his connection with that paper until his death. In 1949 he was elected gov ernor of Rhode Island, holding the office for two years and declining a reelection He was elected to the United States Senate and took his seat in 1859, and has been continuously mem Der of that body till the present, being the oldest senator and entitled to the appellation of ''Father of the Senate. :" Last year he was elected president of the Senate, but owing to ill health resigned, and Senator Edmunds was chosen to the place. He was also president pro tenn of the Senate in 1869 and 1871. He was originally elected senator as Union Republican and has al ways been one of the staunchest defenders of Republican principles and was a wise coun- selor of the administration in times of the greatest peril to the country. Early in the summer of 1883, while at Washington, he re- ceived a stroke of paralysis and his life was for time despaired of, but he rallied suffi- ciently to take his seat in the Senate for his fifth term. He was man of genial manners and exemplary dignity, and few men have served their country so long as he and made SO few enemies -.
