feeling which two years later tore the
Presbyterian church into two schisms Of
"old school" and "new school. It'
founders sympathized deeply with AL
bert Barnes and Lyman Beecher, and il
opposed from its birth those tendencies
that put sEch men outside the pale.
Here is the magma cbarts of the semi
nary; its original declaration of indie
penAence," as set forth at the stormy
epoch alluded to By lis founders:
1t is the design Of the founders to provide q
theological seminary in the midst of the great
est and most growing community IN America
around which all EaaA Of moGers.s views AID
feelings vino desire % live free from party
strife and 90 stand sioof from all extremes of
doctrinal speculation, practical raclcaiis.n and
ecclesiastical domination may cordially AID
affectionateiy rally.
It is not difficult to read between the
lines in this proclamation. 1t was a
challenge, and it meant, not peace, but
war. The vital idea was to construe
the Westminster standards on the more
liberal lines of New England congTega-
tionalign. Princeton, as the champion
of Presbyterian orthodoxy, was quick to
accept the gage.
For many years Union had a terrific
struggle for existence. The group of
rich New York Presbyterian merchants
who launched the enterprise pecuniarily
suffered heavily in the great fire of 1886.
On the heels of this disaster came the
panic of 1887. To add to these burdens
the churches did not rally to the support
of the new seminary as its friends had
hoped, and it was only by the most de-
termined labors that it was kept alive
through the decade from 1910 to 1850
In all this period among the most
liberal patrons of the seminary was Mr..
Charles Butler, one of the original
founders. To him, perhaps more than
any other one man, was the ultimate
success Of the young institution due. We
should remember this in dealing with
Unions responsibility for DR.. Briggs.
For Mr.. Butler still lives in vigorous
old age. He is today the president
of the board of directors of the sem
mary, and it was he who year ago
established the chair Of Biblical the
oiogy by gift of 100000, and who
nominated DR.. Briggs for the chair thus
created Nor was this sudden move,
but rather the deliberate plan of years.
This action, therefore, which has set the
whole Presbyterian church by the ears
was not an accident but was the carry
ing out of a steady purpose by founder
of the seminary, with the cordial appro-
baton of the other directors and the
faculty.

CONFERENCE AND TRIAL
TWO EVENTS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.

Distin guished Visitors to Be Present at
the Methodist Gathering in Washing
ton-Professor Briggs Case and a Re-
view of Union seninary's History.
copyright. 1891. by American Press Associa-
ton
Two notable events soon to take place
are just now attracting the attention Of
the religious world. One is the meeting
of the great Methodist conference at
Washington; the other is the trial at
New York of the famous Presbyterian
divine, Professor Charles a. Briggs, for
heresy.
Pre-eminent among the delegates to
the Methodist ecumenical conference
from abroad as worthy Of study by
Americans are Rev. DR.. Thomas Bow
man Stephenson, LII. D., and Rev. Hugh
Price Hughes, for they represent the style
Of the preaching and the doing which

modern life demands. Sociology to them
is quite as important as theology. They
conceive it to be the duty of a preacher
to interest himself in the economic prob
lens of the day, to alleviate the burdens
Of the wageearner, TO speak fearlessly
of corruption in politics and industry.
Hence they WELD a great influence for
good among the artisans of London.
DR.. Stephenson is now the president
of the British Wesleyan conference. At
its recent session he sounded note of
warning against the growth of Ritual
ism in the Established church and the
necessity of Methodists ceasing to "main-
tain an attitude of excessive and even
servile Difference to it." But it is as
philanthropist and solver of the problem
''How to reach the masses" that he is
distinguished. Years ago, when in Nor
witch, he began theater meetings in the
afternoon and held ''evangelistic" serv-
ices in st. Andrews hall evenings In
Bolton he established twopenny soirees
to which the workingmen focked, the
services being half social and half reli-
gious Going up to London he was sta
toned in the region of the New Cut,
where the appalling misery of the chill
dren's lives in the slums so weighed upon
his heart that he established a Children's
home in Waterloo street that has be-
come one of the most remarkable insti-
tutions i'll London. the late Dean STAN
ley and Archdeacon Farrar having most
cordially Endorsed it. More recently the
executive genius of the man has enabled
him to found and develop great deacon
esses' house at Victoria park
Rev. Hugh Price Hughes. editor of The
Methodist Times, a nonoficial paper
with large circulation in and out of
Methodism, is the idol of the younger
British Methodists, the terror of evil
doors In London, an orator second only
to Mr.. Gladstone in stirring the enthu-
siasm of the Liberals of England, a
preacher to the masses, and withal a
university graduate, debater who even
now surpasses the famous DR.. Rigg and
does his own sweet pleasure in the Wes-
leyan conference. He is the leader of
"the forward movement" in English
Methodism and a preacher of social
Christianity. Rev. Charles Parkhurst,
of lions Herald, Boston, a brilliant
American Methodist journalist, recently
said of Mr.. Hughes that he reminded
him more of "a knight or the Middle
Ages than the ordinary, somewhat color
less and commonplace preacher of to-
day. Wherever might of position or
purse seeks to crush right Hughes rushes
into the fray, striking for the poor and
as Sir Galahad might have
done"
Among other noted men from abroad /
who will be prominent in the conference /
are Rev. F. W. Macdonald, the newly |
elected secretary of the Wesleyan Mis- /
sionary society and an uncle of Rudyard /

AARON BURR's PISTOLS.
The Weapons With Which the Hamil

The Weapons With Which the Hamil-
ton Duel Was Fought.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. A short time
ago James Watson of 1896 East Thompson
street, was visiting some friends in Central
New York and made the acquaintance of
Charles Van Brunt, a retired gentleman
living near Utica. n. Y Mr.. Van Brunt
has been an enthusiastic collector of
everything connected with the history of
his native state, and among his curios are
the pistols used in the fatal duel between
Burr and Hamilton in 1904, and these Mr..
Watson examined with much interest.
Tney are hintlocks. The pans and touch
holes are lined and bushed with gold the
barrels sixteen inches long, with caliber
OF hfty-six. carrying an ounce ball. The
stock runs to the muzzle, and is bound with
brass, beautifully engraved. The weapon
tda5 gave Hamilton his death wound has a
slight file mark on the lower part of the
stock barrel. The make aud fiuish of the
locks could not be surUGssed at the present
time. In the box in which they are kept
are number of patches of white kid to
cover the bullets, and the agate hints are
wrapped in wash leather to hold them in the
cock. The name of the maker, Mortimer,
London" Is on the stock.
Burr got the pistols from an Irishman
named Holahal. whom he defended on a
charge of murder, and it is tradition that
they once belonged to Lord Norbury, the
fighting chief justice Of Ireland. To have
used them must have required strong
muscles, as they weighed over three pounds
apiece

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 1.-THE czar, while

The instrument was dazzling in the bright

white, and his walking stick. which shortly

BROUGHT The PUPS TO LIFE.
A Strongly Vouched-for Story OF
Canine Mother Love.
From the NeiC York Sun.

From the Nel0 York Sun.
NEWTON, Oct. 3.--A remarkable dog
story comes from Bonniebrook farm. near
saltwater, Sussex county. Among the
valuable dogs kept on that large stock farm
is handsome collie bitch, the private
property of Joseph R. Dennis. to whose
family Bonniebrook belongs. Three weeks
ago she bore a litter of eight fine pups, but
seemed to have difficulty in taking care of
SO many, and two were selected for death
in the barnyard tank. Mr.. Dennis in
structed oAe OF the farm hands to accom-
plish the deed, and it was done. The drip
ping corpses of the two puppies were then
buried in the manure pit.
The next afternoon Head Farmer Briggs
10 paying his daily visit TO the youthful
CANNES, was over whelmsd with amaze
ment to find that the collie had in some way
dug up the two bodies and brought them
back TO life. She was licking and fawninR
over them in a corner Of her box. Mr.. Dem
dis was surprised when informed of this
resurrection, and day or so later he per-
sonally attended a second attempt TO render
life extinct in the two puppies. This time
they were placed on cnopping block and
their heads beaten with club. Their man
gled bodies were once more buried in the
Oarnyard pit.
MIR. Dennis visited the Waverly fair, and
| on his recent return TO Bonnlebrook was
| met by Briggs with the astounding infor-
.uation that the collie had again found the
melancholy graves of the two puppies and
had dug them up again. She had left one
on the ground with life extinct, but had
succeeded in resuscitating the other. She
had, moreover, carried the collie puppy in
her mouth to the head farmers house, and
| had stowe it away under the front stoop,
where no one could reach it.
The puppy isialive to-day, and is visited
regularly by its mother, who fights saw
agely if any one attempts to dislodgs it. AS
the little taing's position is at present I'M
pregnaole. it IS likely that it will grow up
| TO return thanks To its devoted parent Be-
sides this Mr.. Dennis thinks he will let it
| live as a sort of mem .nto.

Blackville beats the record as a cotton
shipping town. Up to date this season the
South Carolina railway has moved II, ,9S5
bales from this depot, 4.5S3 bales Of which
were from .in and around town, and Z, ,402
were shipped here from points on the Caro-
lima Midland railway. And yet there is not
buyer here, except the merchants. 1t
seems that Savannah, Augusta and Charles
ton would have cotton buyers here all
the season.
Many farmers are arranging to plant
wheat this fall, but none seem able to secure
good southern seed. About one hundred
bushels Of good seed would be readily
bought IL it could be secured.
The daily whistle at the new shops Of the

SHE STOOD LIKE A STATUE.
Unconscious and Rigid for Five Days
and Nights.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW York, Oct. 4.-MrS. Butcher Of No.
225 Saudford street. Brooklyn. is the victim
of a most peculiar case Of mental disorder,
said by physicians to have been directly at
tributable to the grip, which proved an epi-
demic in that city. Her malady is charac-
terized as ecstasis.
For five days and five nights Mrs Butcher
slept, unconscious of anything that was
going on around her; unconscious of touch,
even, and without food or drink. She was
as rigid as if dead.
At one time she was lifted out of bed and
stood up in q corner of her room. Her
pulse seemed TO have ceased to beat, and
respiration was not noticeable. Her hands
were on her shoulders in a sort of convul-
sive grasp. The combined strength of three
men could not remove them. Neither could
her legs be bent. In fact, she was like a
marble statue, except there was glow
upon her flesh which evidenced the fact
that life was not yet extinct.
When she awakened from her five days
sleep her mind was clear, her eyes were
bright, and she appeared and acted like a
woman in the enjoyment of robust health.
She had no recollection of anything that
had taken place. She said she had had a
delightful nights sleep, and felt very much
refreshed
