MISSOURI STATE NEWS.


A few days ago a daughter was torn
to Mr. and Mrs. b. p. Bogy, of st. Louis.
The most interesting fact connected
with the event is that it makes Mrs. j.
Z. Soulard, of Galena, ILL.,, great-great-
grandmother, Mr.. Bogy being her great
grandson. The baby girl is also heir
to honors of rather notable an
cestry on both sides. J. G. Soulard
was one of the founders of the town of
Galena, and the family name is well
known as one of prominence in St.
Louis. The Bogy family is traced back
to Scotland through France. The late
Senator V. Bogy, well known in Mis-
fouri, would have been, had he lived
the great-grandfather of the infant
girl. Ii. 7. Bogy, her father, is son of
Joseph Bogy, of st. Louis. Both fam
lilies, the Soulards and Bogys, have been
noted for their longevity. When one
of the venerable Mrs. Soulard's great
grandchildren was born some years ago
she expressed the hope that she might
live to see a great-great-grandchi
Mr.. j. p. Soulard received message
FROM her in which she expressed her
qualification that the fifth generation
had appeared.

THE refusal or neglect of Congress to
provide adequately. if not generously,
for the wants of the lifc-saving-service
can not be excused upon the ground
that its work is experimental. Taking
the record of its accomplishments dur
ing single year-lsS9-it proves that
the value of the service far outweighs
its cost. The saving in a twclve-month
of nearly $500 lives is worth more than
sI.OOO.OOO, if such precious saving can
he estimated at all. If it is not worth
that, then certainly the value of the
property saved, S5.5O0.O 900. is worth the
$1,000. 900 invested: it leaves margin
of gain equal to nearly 500 per cent

The Presby ter ian Clerg, man who is being
Tried For HerOsy.

By the close vote of Ga against 62 the
New York Presby terv has decided to
try DR.. Briggs, professor of Hebrew in the
Union Theological Seminary, New York
on two charges, set forth with minute
specifications by committee appointed
at a previous meeting Of that body. He
is charged with teaching doctrines in his
inaugural address to the seminary men
toned which conflict with and are con-
trary to the Bible and the standards OF
his church, and with being unsound in
his views as to the character, state and
santification of believers after death. DR..
Briggs will conduct the defense person.
ally
He is regarded as the head of the new
school OF Presbyterians, and in learning
and ability commands the attention of
educated people everywhere. The expec-
tation seems to be that he will be found
guilty of the charges made against him,
with the probable result that he will with.
draw from membership in the religious
body Of which he has been long an orna-
ment.
DR.. Briggs was born in New York City
in 184l. After his graduation at the
of Virginia and Berlin he ell.
tered the Union Theological Seminary,
New York where he was graduated with
the class OF 1863 He spent the following
few years in business pursuit. In 1870
he was chosen pastor of a church at
Roselle, N. J. Since 1875 he has been
with the Union Theological
Seminary as'pr professor.
SYMPATHY FOR DIR. BRIGGS.
New YORK, Oct 13-In the Blooming
dale reform church, DR.. Madison G. Peters
spoke to an immense audience in defense
Of DR.. Briggs, whose trial, on charges Of
heterodoxy, is now pending. He likened
bis case to that Of DR.. Lyman Beecher,
Albert Barnes and Prof. David Swing,
whose prosecution the Presbyterian
church has occasion to remember with
shame. Such trials, he said, should be
placed side by side with the burning OF
witches in Massachusetts, years ago, and
he thanked God that majority of the
clergymen of New York were in sympathy
with DR.. Briggs.
