THE enormous crops of peaches and

they had prepared for a heavy trade,

their expectations, and they are unable
to keep up with the orders still pouring

There was a moment Of thrilling inten-

when shrill whistle was blown by cable

OF bridge policemen. Men and women on
the footpath and ia the cars rushed hither
and thither to learn the cause of commo-

therefore exaggerated into terrible appre-

the BIBLE AND The CHURCH.
Or. Briggs Discourse. In Defepcs Of His
Teachings


Over 100 people assembled at the
Church Of the Covenant last night TO hear
the second of the series Of Sunday evening
lectures on the Bible, says yesterdays
New York World.
Professor Charles A. Briggs, d. d., was
the lecturer. and took for his theme Inc
Bible and the Church."
The lecturer prefaced his discourse oy
stating that the Bible was considered a5
the source of divine authority, its seat and
medium OF authority. IL was the seat OK
divine authority. in which God enthroned
himself in speech. :,
He said the Roman Catholics subordi-
mated reason and the Bible. The Evan
gelists subordinate reason and the Church
to the Bible, while the Rstionalists suoor-
dinate the Bible and Church TO reason.
The last named consider reason as the su-
preme authority.
he declared that the attempt made by
theologians and others to fasten the au-
thorship of the various books OF the Bible
on any particular person when reason and
proof existed TO the contrary was an in
jury to Christianity, and drove Intelligent
He defended the definition and descrip-
ton of the Bible as contained in the West
minister Confession, and was opposed 70
the revision of that portion of the Comics
sion of Faith as proposed by inserting
ministerial and declarative power"
II weakened the power OF the Presbyte-
rian Church, which, be said, had receded
from the high ground taken by 1t in the
seventeenth century.
He spoke OF the late Cardinal Newman
as representative churchmau of these
DAYS. A man Of the highest culture;
deepest insight into the things of God; a
sanity man.
IF it would be heresy TO take a man at
his word.n said the lecturer, then

low him than the Pharisees."

HOW WE GO TO SLEEP.
We Don't Do 1t All at Once, But Little by
Little.
washington star.l

According TO the best writers on the sub
iect II has been ascertained that In be-
ginning TO sleep the senses do not united
w fall into a state Of slumber, but drop OF
one after the other. The sight ceases,
in consequence OF the protection OF
the eyelids, to receive impressions first,
while all the other senses preserve their
sensibility entire. The sense OF taste Is
the next which loses its susceptibility to
impressions, and then the sense OF smell
ING. The hearing - next in order, and last
of all comes the sense OF touch. Further
more the senses arc thought TO sleep with
different degrees Of profoundness., The
sense OF touch sleeps the most lightly ana
is the most easily awakened. the next
easiest is the hearing; the next ls the slght'
and the taste and smell awake the last.
Another remarkable circumstance de-
serves notice certain muscles and parts OF
the body begin TO sleep before others.
Siaep commences at the eXtremlties, be-
ginning with the feet and legsand creep
ing coward the centre of nervous action.
The necessity for keeping the feet warm
and perfectly still, as a preliminary OF sleep,
is we'll known. From these explanations
1t will not appear surprising that with one
or moro of the senses, and perhaps one or
more parts of the BODY, imperfectly
asleep, there should be at the same time
on imperfect kind of mental action which
produces the phenomenon of dreaming.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Their Day at AuRusta-The Bonnie Blue

By telegraph 70 the DIspatch.l

AUGUSTA, Ga. November 23.-To-day was
Confederate Veterans day at the Augusta
Exposition, and one of the biggest days
the Exposition has yet enjoyed. Inc
grounds and buildings were crowded. ana
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed among
the old veterans and the younger militia
who took part in the sham-battle, which
was the feature Of the afternoon.
General Wade Hampton, OF south caro-
lima. and General Alexander X. Lawton,
ex-Minister to Australia under Cleveland
were distinguished guests of the day. Gen
eral j. b. Gordon was unavOldably absent.
Major j. G. G. Black, OF Augusta, made an
address of welcome, and responses were
made by Hampton and Lawton IN behalf
Of the Veterans.
Mention was made on several occasions
during the day Of the recent letter OF the
Commander of the Grand Army OF the he
public about Confederate flags. The
tenor of these was that the South's loyalty
to the flag Of this country could not be
questioned. II was hailed at home and
abroad by Americans with the same ferVor
and pride. whether they lived North or
South, but the men who followed the
Confederate flag IN tho bloodiest war
the world had ever known and made
record Of yalor and hero'sm that
was unprecedented, would never

backs upon their glorious record and the

THE HORSESHOE MELTED 500, 900.
Some of the Ticket Spectators Made
81 1000 During the six Days.
New York World, 23i.1

Only the smell of the horse-show fingers
about Madison Square Garden to tell Of
the triumphs Of last week, when sport and
fashion went in double-harness and even
ticket spectators made ~ 900 for SIX days
work. The stalls were evacuated yester-
day. with the exception of some seventy or
eighty, whose equine occupants will be
sold under the hammer this morning. Tho
sale will be managed by the American
Horse Exchange. A few priZe-winners are
among the lot.
The show was the greatest success, tnan-
cially rs well as from a sporting and fash
ionable standpoint, in the history OF the
National Horse-Show Association, Limited.
The attendance during the week was at
least 10000, and the net profits are estl-
mated at 100000. This money will 60 to

per cent. was declared after the first show
and another Of 10 per cent. last year. No
assessments were ever made on the stock
holders, although there were no profits to

meeting will be held next March and q
dividend will undoubtedly be declared
probably 20 per cent.

perhaps that the association was not
organized solely TO make money. That 1t
has become amOney-maklng concern there
is no denying. 1t has shown n profit OF
500, 900 on an investment Of 800, 900 this
year.
The expenses of the show were large, of
course, but the receipts were enormous.
1t cost Sl20 to build the annex Prizes
aggregating $4,000 were given, and As
notwithstanding HYDE says the garden
rent was $4,000 more. Then there was
the pay Of attendants.
The first auction sale of boxes netted
over SIS. 900 and the boX-office receipts
were enormous. Very little money was
spent in newspaper advertising. The press
of the city and of the country devoted
hundreds of columns 10 the show for
which, Of course, no charge was made;
The sale of privileges must have Melted
quite a revenue. Catalogues sold for 70
cents apiece and were filed with frst-class
advertising.
The neighboring cafes reaped a harvest
from the show. 1t was the banner week st

latter house the receipts on Saturday IN
the restaurant were 81 400. Guests waited
their turn for tables in continuous line

especially between Greensboro and Char
