NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Sir Edwin Ar
mold will begin his lie ,ture tour in this
country tonight by reading at Comegie
Music Hall. The occasion will be
somewhat social, of the nature of a re,
ception. About $50 persons conspicu-
GUS for one thing or another, will be

Depew will introduce the poet to an
audience which is sure to be q fashion
able one. Sir Edwin will give the

BRIGGS Trial In Progress.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The trial of
DR.. Briggs for heresy is being held
today in the Scotch church. At the
meeting of the New York Presbytery
last month, DR.. Briggs protested
against the appointment of commit
tee to prosecute him, for various
reasons, among them, that he was
not given sufficient time to answer
the charges against him, and
that advantage was taken of
his absence in Europe. The
Presby terry ia it's answer urged that
no charges had been presented when
the protest was made, and no thought
OF a charge was necessarily made. 1t
was q committee of inquiry only, to
consider the inaugural address in it's
relation to the confession of faith,
which was q subject of general criti
cism and of whispered dissent, and of
whose apparent teachings a number
of presby ters had already entered a
most emphatic protest and adverse
Judgment. The trial is attracting q
great deal of attention, and the out
come Is watched with interest.

AT the Grand

Webster & Brady's scenic play
Bottom of the Sea-" was the attrac-
ton at the Grand last night and for
matinee today. Both performances
were well attended. The play as IL
goes is light but meritorious. 1t is
simply a love plot written about lot
of splendid scenery, and scenery, too,
that is novel, being mostly that of q
steamship, showing rigging, masts,
and other paraphernaIia, very true to
the originals, and the bottom
of the sea, with fishes and mon
sters very cleverly represented,
Miss Camille Cleveland, who was
favorite last year in THE Metropolis"
takes the heroine's lines, and Geo.
Webster presents the "heavy." The
other members of the company did
all their roles called for. The play
was successful and caught the upper
part of the honse so terribly that
several of the noisy gods had to be
put out. The company appears again
tonight.

A Regular Monte CrisCo

Harper'S Young People.
We have all been delighted more or
less with the beautiful story of the
goose that laid the golden eggs, but
fancy very few of us have really be-
lieved that such a goose ever lived.
Indeed, a bird capable of doing any
such remarkable thing could not. in
the nature of thing, be goose. But,
with a he'd, which is really bird OF
considerable quiet wisdom, matters
are different, aud we are, therefore,
not surprised at the story that has
lately come to us from Portland, n.
H.
This story Is true one, and it is
about q wonderful hen that laid an
egg one morning in which was found
a lie piece. The following week she
laid an egg containing a 10c piece,
and then the story stops. The future
career OF this particular chicken will
be watched with considerable interest
for If che continues as she has started,
multiplying the value of her egge
every week by ten, 1t will not be long
before she will lay the foundation of 3
princely fortune.
1 have tried to find out upon what
food this Caesar among hens doth feed
that she hath grown so great, but the
owner of the fowl is very reticent and
refuses to give me any information
other than that have given you. /
suspect, however, that the creature
has INDUCED in an occasional bit of
mint, which grows wild in many
quarters of New Hampshire. What
ever the food is, and however much il
may cost, the hen certainly deserves
all she wants of IL.

LEAvENwORTH, Kas., Nov. A.

murder Of Mrs. Mettman, whose
mutilsted body was found in a sack
in the river at the government reser-
walton near here, will be executed to-
dsv unless President Harrison in
teferes which is not likely. A new
gallows has been erected for the
occasion, which has been tried and
works we'll. While experimenting
on the drop with a sandbag, Benson
heard the noise and applying vile
eoithet to those engaged in
it hoped the gallows would
fall down and kill them.
Great interest is taken in the hang
ing, it being the first legal one here
for twenty years. Several thousand
people visited the Jail yard today to
see the scaffoId. Great pressure has
been brought to bear for securing
tickets to see the final act. In fact q
number of people have expressed q
determination to tear down the
high board fence surrounding
the jail yard, unless they
are allowed inside. To prevent this,
snd TO keep order, troop of cavalry
will be placed on guard on the outside
and company of infantry on the in
side. The troops will be furnished
from the regular army at Fort Leav-
enworth, as the hanging is to be done
by the United States government.

RAMBLING THOUGHTS:
BY j. II. REEL.


Vsgrsncy is not conducive to fra
grancy.
Even ladies have been known to
keep the secret of success.
True friendship can not be lightly
Won nor carelessly disregarded.
Virtue Is what we see in ourselves;
vice, what appears in others.
Some people are social acrobats,
tumbling any way to secure favor.
Marriage failures illustrate the
folly of conducting a partnership
business.
The mills of the gods sometimes
turn out some very unsatisfactory pro-
ducts.
The color line Is q delusion. A
black man, casts the same colored
shadow as a white man.
Even the frost of age, will in q
sense, disappear if we but place our
selves In the sunshine.
Dead beats are not dangerous; 10 lie
the living beats that make life hard
ly worth the living.
Better be found working at some
meniai employment than accepting
the charity of others.
When blissful ignorance in the
dangers OF the future to unfold,
what folly tits to wander on and CLEAN
of wisdom when we're old.
There are those whose ladder OF
knowledge has not yet been raised
from the ground, making it impossi'
BILE to mount even the round.
