How to Elevate the Stage.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
1t is a consolation to observe at least one
newspaper, THE DISPATCH, sounding the
tocsin against the formidable array of the
atrical bill posting OF the prevailing disgust
ing type. 1t makes really no difference if
you are an advocate of newspaper advertis-
ing for the stage, instead of the blood-curd-
ling representations of the torture chamber
and butchers shop that inevitably meet the
eyes of the public from every fence and cor
ner. If managers have no better plays for
the entertainment of the public than the
abominable samples exposed in all IRE
quented places, and if the public have no
better taste than enjoying such fiendish
horrors, the newspaper advertisements
would, at least, be avoided by people who
find no delight in beholding representations
of men and women lying about with knives
in their hearts, bathing in their blood, or
shot, poisoned and otherwise slaughtered
by the wholesale.
That these matricides and patricides, sor-
oricides and fratricides, uxoriclde, infantl.
cides, suicides and other exhibitions OF
brutal violence too numerous to mentlon,
including the misera BILE list of every vice
and crime that human, or rather 1nnuman
wretchedness and ingenuity are capaDle OF,
must restrain many people from entering
the theaters is undoubted. l have never
seen any of these sacrifices on the altar OF
Thalia, but, Judging by the bloody scenes
adorning public places, / would much prefer
to witness legal execution. Tneatrlcal
managers and adopts in the histrlon1c art
in general should let themselves be guided
by your timely advice, renounce their e1,
pensive and shocking fence blazings, and
devote their artistic genius to newspaper
advertisements, equally nerve-splitting., II
absolutely necessary. a. Z. Ii.

INTEREST IN THE BRIGGS TRIAL

While the trial of DR.. Briggs for heresy
gives every promise Of being an event of
the farthest reaching interest, there is no
room for the gloomy representations OF
those religionisIs who can see in it only
prospects of damage TO the Presbyterian.
church and TO the cause of Christianity.
A conspicuous fact as to DR.. Briggs case is
that it turns wholly on different interpre-
tations by different theologians, the sin
ceritv of all of whom is admitted. Each
side processes devotion to the Bible, so
that practically the question between
them is as TO which is reading it right.
The inevitable line of such trial would
he upon a comparison of mental re-
sources The Briggsites claim the highest
scholarship and most capable understand
ing of the plan of Divine revelation.
Their opponents not only deny this, but
insist that, whether true or not, this point
is immaterial, and that the real question
is whether DR. Briggs is teaching the
doctrines of the Presbyterian church.
They declare he is not, and hence that he
should step from out its fold. Here
again, DR.. Briggs rebuts by insisting he
can prove his positions to be within the
ecclesiastical requirements.
Unless the trial is to proceed inside very
narrow limits indeed, DR.. Briggs on the
one hand and his antagonists on the other
must have an opportunity to express fully
their conceptions of religious truths. In
such comparison and contest much light
must necessarily be evolved. There is
II Il
may cause scandal to the church than that
public interest both within and without
church circles will be deeply aroused by
the intelligent and earnest exposition of
religious doctrines which is sure to follow.
The capacity of the antagonists gives war
rant that the trial will become historic.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Pietro Garibaldi, Artist.

Pietro Garibaldi, one of Boston's best
known characters, died Saturday. He was known
everywhere as ''Statuary." He was an excellent
modeller and had frequent employment from
scuptors and surgeons in modelling subjects. He
had a good knowledge of the history of the great
sculptors and was no mean critic. Wendell Phil
lips frequently consulted him in reference to
sculpture and statuary. When the Italian Opera
Company first began to have foOthold in Boston
..Garry:', as he was faniliarly called, became

port Dillon, j. W. Wallack, WI. Florence and
Edwin Booth have many occasions been in

IsTT GooDRyIa GRIPPE

The outrageous behavior of the ther
mometer the last day or two has been a
menace to health as well as a trial to tenn
per. The drop of 80 degrees in twelve
hours, the change from oppressive heat to
sharp cold, is bound to play the mischief
with peoples lungs and throats especially.
But there is some consolation in the pecu-
liar variety of weather vOuchsafed to us
this fall. 1t has been dry beyond measure,
and the sun has shown his face with re-

An Exaggerated Episode.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
Your Sunday issue contained an item from
this place concerning n visit paid the public
schools by Mrs. Gertie Hollen, colored,
which does that person injustice. inasmuch
as it is greatly exaggerated. Mrs. Hollen
did visit the schools to see Professor Reed
concerning the chastisement of her son. but
that gentleman was at one of the other
school buildings at the time, ard although
she was very angry and had he been present
there might have been trouble, yet she left
without making the hostile demonstrations
attributed to her. Your correspondent
must have been grossly misinformed.
