Gives Glowing Tribute to the Late
John a. Logan.

BANGOR. Dec. 90.--At regular meeting of
b. a. Beale Post here tonight. Gen. Charles
Hamlin introduced resolutions eulogistic of
Gen. Logan's military career, his loyalty to
his country and devotion to his comrades.
Comrade ex-Viee President Hamlin second
ed the resolutions, making most eloquent
and touching speech For thirty years, he
said, my relations with Gen. Logan were
close and intimate, and it is consolation to
know that we stood together, shoulder to
shoulder, in the days that tried mems souls,
without difference in our views, to the duties
Of tile day. In him were combined two
qualities in excess Of any other American,
being both General and Statesman. lie was
an under estimated man. He stood high both
in the field and council, but was justly enti-
ROD stand higher. He was man of con-
viction as well as of courage. Never was
there more honest man. He always sought
to find out what was just and right. We
raise monuments of granite to our heroic
dead, but the heroic acts Of John A. Logan
will outlive them all. long after these monu-
ments shall have been dissolved; will live as
long as love and liberty springs in the hui
man breast; as long as men prefer nobility
of character and noble deeds.

AntIquItY Of the Steel Pen.

In an English pamphlet, entitled THE.
Story Of the Invention OF Steel Pens, Mr..
Henry Bore has collected from various and
generally original sources all the known facts
concerning metallic pens. Some Of these
references run back as far as the fourteenth,
and even to the thirteenth century, and curl
ously enough in the case Of the MSS. of Rob
ert d Artois the forger scribe Is said TO have
used bronze pen In order to disguise his
writing and make bis deception more safe
A Roman metal pen Is said 10 have been
found at A0sta, not mere stylus, but a
bronze pen slit, and there Is some evidence Of
pen or reed Of bronze nearly as early as the
invention Of printing in the fifteenth century.
A hundred years ago some steel pens were
made in birmingham by Mr.. Harrison for
DIR. Priestly, and some Of these passed into
the hands Of Sir Josiah Mason in his early
days with Mr.. Harrison, but all seem 10 have
been lost The first pen Of metal Of def
mite date, beyond all question, Is one In a
Dutch patent book, Of I'LL. At about the
same time polite ode OF Pope's refers to q
steel and golden pen, but these were evil
IDENTIFY luxuries only, and twas not till about
fifty or sixty years ago that metallic pens be-
came more generally In use. In the Local
Notes and Queries" in the Birmingham
Weekly Post, definite evidence has been given
OF steel pens as early as 1906, and more com
monty In 1877; but II was about 1923 OF 1924
that the great revolution came by which pens
were made by much cheaper process-the
hand screw-press which pierced the pens
from sheet steel Previously pens had been
made from steel rolled into tube fashion,
and the Joint formed the slit; but these re-
quired considerable labor to shape them into
pen-torm; The use Of the lscrew-press be-
longs to the reriod Of John Mitchell, Joseph
elliot, and Josiah Mason but on a careful re-
view Of the facts, 1t seems TO be clear that
John Mitchell has the best claim 10 be con-

THE ANoovER CONTROVERSY.
One of the Accuseis Withdraws His
Name from the Complaints.
The Case for the Respondents
All in.
Judge Asa French Opens the Case
for the Prosecution.

BosToN, Dec. 3O.-In the Andover heresy
case this morning Rev. Mr.. Blaisdell. one Of
the accusers, withdrew his name from the
complaints, saying he is satisfied with Prof
Smyth's reply. Chas. Theodore Russell con.
cluded his argument for the respondents in
an eloquent plea for justice and specific ac-
cusation. Ex-Governor CASTOR followed in
an able speech for the respondents. He
spoke of the peculiar nature of the trial in
that there had been no formal opening by
the other side and nc one to testify that he
had heard heresy from Prof. Smyth. With
ex-Goy. Gaston's address the arguments fol
the defence were ended, having occupied
something over nine hours.
In answer to the enquiry by Prof. Dwight
President Seelye stated it was understood
that the complainants would conclude about
noon Friday.
Prof Dwight said the other accused Pro-
fessors would be willing, after having very
few minutes to state their case, to rest on
the arguments already made.
Then President Seelye said if possible on
Friday afternoon the other cases would be
taken up. Ii not then, on Monday.
Judge Asa French then opened the argu-
mentS Tor the prosecution.
Among other things Judge French said
the statutes of. the Seminary declare that
''every article of the creed shall remain en-
tirely and forever the same without the least
alteration, addition or diminution." | an
not even suggesting bad faith or wrong
motives on sPr0fessor Smyth's part. The
case does not require it, and If it did would
not do it; but if with the purest motives he
has come short OF his obligation in any
essential particular, then the case agains
him is made up.
Judge French was followed by Rev. j. w
Wellman. The true question was whether a
professor of Andover, supported by AndoveI
funds, could under the creed and statutes OF
Andoyer preach Progressive Orthodoxy
Two more questions must be brought up
First, what is the Andover theology of the
founders, and what is the new theology
consistent with the intents and purposes Of
the founders, and allowable under the pro.
visions of their creed and statutes? He then
reviewed the charges against Prof Smyth in
detail. We do not believe, he said, that
man can subscribe to the Andover creed anC
yet believe that the Bible is not wholly in
| spired. That Prof. Smyth does so believe
| we have abundant proof in his writings
| From these writings it is plain he holds tn,
| new idea of the Bible in the creed of tn,
| Congregational or of any church. Mr.. Well
| man went on to show Prof. SmyJh's dOctrin,
was wholly inconsistent with the Andoye
| creed.
Professor Baldwin moved for the dis
missal OF the complaints, after which reces
was taken.
After recess DIR. Wellman concluded hi
argument, and the hearing was adjourned

SCIENTISTS BUFFALO HUNT.
Twenty-Five Specimens Secured in

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 30.-William T. Horn
aday, chief taxidermist Of the National Mu-
scum at Washington, is In the city, on his re-
turn from big buffalo hunt in Montana, in
the interest Of the Smithsonian Institute
He said ''the object Of our expedition was to
mems which is sure to come in year or two
at the most. We knew, in general way,
that the species was gradually becoming ex-
tinct, but not till we arrived on the ground
did we realize that the expedition had been
made just in the nick of time. There are
probably 100 buffalo in Texas, and not many
more than 60 in the Yellowstone Divide,
where our hunting was done. So far as we
could learn, there do not appear to be any at
all to the north of that region. A large herd
went north in 1888, and has never been seen
nor heard from since. We secured, all told
25 specimens, so that we now have fifty
skulls, twenty-five skins and sixteen skele-
tons.
