RICHNESS OF appeal and extraordinary
earnestnes of delivery, effective spite
OF it's harsh and shocking variety of
information and ungraceful gesticu-
lation.
DR.. Talmage's removal to Philadel-
phla increased vastly the number OF
his admirers, and his ministry of sew
en- years in the Quaker City was a
great success. During this period he
became popular as a lecturer. At
the time of his acceptance of the call
by the Brooklyn Church he had the
choice OF that-seemingly the poorest
OF all, only nineteen members voting
one in Chicago and one in San
Francisco. He removed to Brook
Ign in March, 1869 and soon filed d
church which had been much too
large for the worshipper. The next
year tabernacle of sheet iron was
built by the congregation for the bet
ter accommodation OF the large audi
ences which assembled to hear him.
He spent most of the time in which
the building was being erected in a
trip to Europe and back. The tab
ernacle was opened by the pastor
three months after it's building had
begun. All seats were free. In De-
cember, 1872 it was consumed by
fire, and the congregation assembled
in the academy of Music until Febru-
airy, 1874, when the new tabernacle
was opened.
This is one of the largest buildings
in Brooklyn, and is known as the
Tabernacle. 1t is semi-circular in
form, the seats so arranged that all
can see and hear the minister, who
breaches from a platform simply
furnished without desk. A huge or
gan behind the speaker and the Use
OF the cornet to lead the singing, III
dictate one of DR.. Talmage's wide de-
partures from Presbyterian prece-
dent.
A few years ago, Dr. Talmage
spent several months in Europe,
chiefly in Great Britain, where his
sermons have a wide distribution,
His appearances in public created
great interest there, as at home,
where his Tabernacle, which accom-
modates five thousand hearers very
comfortably, is often greatly made
quate to the admission of all who
desire to hear him. His sermons are
probably more widely read than
those OF any other living preacher.

BOB YOUNGER FREE.
His Life Lamp Finally Goes Out
in the Penitentiary at Still
water.
Justice Fields Defender Released
From Custody Under Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.

1t is now too late for Gov. Merriam to
,pardon Bob Younger, even were he SO in
,clined. Bob died in the penitentiary at Still
water shortly after 10 O'clock on the 18th.
This announcement will surprise nobody,
,Bob's low condition from the ravages of con-
sumption for the past few months being
well known. Sunday evening was the be-
ginuing of the end. Bob became rapidly
worse, and from that time until his death
was unable to take nourishment of any sort,
being unable to swallow. He received In
the prison hospital the very best nursing, his
sister and brothers being with him con-
sstantly and the sister shows the strain in a
marked degree Every one around the
aprison sympathized with the brothers and
sister. as they had conducted themselves
since they have been there SO as to gain the
esteem of the officials and every one else.
1t was in September, 1876, than the crime
"of The septette of Missouri outlaws for which
Rob Younger served a life sentence was per-

QUITE A PLOT.
Novel Scheme for Covering Up the
Murder of DR. CrOnin

Novel Scheme for Covering Up the
Murder of DR. Cronin.
CHICAGO, Special.-John Dewey of New
York is doing telling work toward unravel-
ing that part of the Cronin plot connected
with the intended sequel, the finding OF the
DOCTORS body in the Thames river at Lon
don. 1t is said that every detail has been
collated SO far as the original design of the
conspirators is concerned and that it is
known to the prosecution. Arrangements
were made for the reception and shipment at
New York of the box containing DR.. Cronin's
clothes, ETC.; for their being struggled
through the custom house at Liverpool to
an agent o. the conspirators. who had hired
cottage at WoolWich, nine miles from Lon
don down the Thames; and also arranged to
procure body resembling in general ap-
pearance that OF DR.. Cronin. Had the doc
tors body not been found here the corpse
taken from Guys hospital in London would
have been partially disfgured, dressed in
DR.. Cronin's clothes, the pockets containing
his watch and other personal property, be-
sides forged letters that would have con-
demned him in the eyes Of every Irisnman.
This done, the body would have been thrown
into the Thames where it certainly would
have been discovered soon, and Irishmen
generally, with such apparent proof, would
have rejoiced that traitor met his just
deserts.
It has been rumored that Pat Cooney,
the aFox' in the Cronin case, was in custody.
Color was given to the rumor by the fact
that Chief Hubbard and Capt. Shuettler and
Detective John Collins, to whose efforts the
identification of both Cooney and Burke is
due, called at the states attorneys Office and
had a long conference with the attorneys for
the prosecution. They declined to state the
object of their business, but it was said on
good authority that they had called to talk
about Cooney.
