the tribunal as such. When that portion
of the judicatory which acts as the jury
has gone into private session any member
may speak. Here, indeed, DR.. Briggs may
be said to have a compromising advantage,
for while five of his opponents are ex-
clUded. he alone will be absent from the
other side.
As to the right 10 speak during the pro-
gress Of the trial there will doubtless be
question raised, which the moderator Will
have to decide. 1t must be remembered
that this is the first important trial under
the new Book of Discipline. prepared IN
I>S4 The Swing trial occurred ten years
before that date In that case, after the
arguments Of counsel had been made, each
presbyter was given ten minutes IN which
to express what was officially called an
Opiuion II is thought by some that such
course Will be followed in this case, but
others say il is not in accord with the new
Book of Discipline. Some OF the best IN
formed Of the clergy have told me that the
new book would be on trial itself, and
might be convicted of many errors, tor II
was somewhat hastily put together, and
will doubtless permit of no end OF what
might be called appeals on technical
points.
But whether the arguments are made in
open or private session, by counsel or ac-
cilsed or jurynen, they will have knotty
points to deal with. 1t Is quite possible
that Or. Briggs may attempt 70 introduce
the series Of questions and answers which
j. now known as his cateChism, in eiuclda-
ton OF his address. The complications
which must thus arise may be imagined
after the contemplation OF TWO such pass

two charges The first alleges that the in
augural address cannot be reconclled with
a belief that the Bible is the only infaltible
rule of faith and practice. Under this
there are several Specifications. They deal
chiefly with Dr. Briggs famous diction
that there are historically three great
fountains of divine authority-the Bible,
the church and the reason" The second
charge attacks his doctrine Of progress

sutferance OF the presbytery, tor it is pro-
Vlded that at any stage of case a Judicial
tory may, by two-thirds vote, decide TO
sit with closed doors.
The rules of procedure provide for the
examination OF witnesses and their cross
examination; the presentation of evidence
in rebuttal. and the hearing of the parties
in argument. The judlcatory," says the
Book of Discipline. shall then go into
private session, the parties. their counsel
and all other persons being excluded;
when, alter careful deliberation, the Judi
catory shall proceed TO vote on each
charge and each specification separately,
and judgment shall be entered accord
ingly."
Let US see how these rules will apply in
this case. As to witnesses, if there are any,
they will be sworn with this impressive
form: You solemnly promise, in the
presence of the Omniscient and heart
searching God, that you will declare the
truth. the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, according to the best of
your knowledge, in the matter in
which you are called to testify, as you
shall answer to the Great Judge of the
quick and dead" 1t is not probable,
however, that any witnesses will be ex-
amlned. The charges rest wholly upon
the celebrated inaugural address delivered
by DIR. Briggs January 20, 1891, on the oc-
caslon OF his induction into the Edward
Robinson chair of biblical theology in the
Union seminary. The accuracy of the
published version will be admitted by the
defense, and nothing will remain but ar
gument.
And here comes an interesting point:
There are FIVE members of the prosecuting
committee and it would appear that each
has right to speak. Against them DR..
Briggs must stand alone. Every lawyer
will admit that this is heavy odds. But
there is nothing in the Book of Discipline
which authorizes anybody to help DIR.
unless he appoints a counsel, which he
will not do. In conversation with men,

who supposed that any person in the

the language of the Book of Discipline

WALLED BY A TABOO.
How King of Apemama Built
a Town for Stevenson.
FINISHED IN A SINGLE DAY.
Tembinok' Likes Silent Men-The Mystic
Rampant, Dead-Line That No
Man Dare Cross.

OPuLu, Samoa, Oct. Especial Core
spondence l-Our first sight of Tenn
binok' was a matter of concern. almost
alarm, to my whole party. We had
fame to seek we approached in the proper
courtly attitude of sutton, and must
either please him or fail in the main pur-
pose Of our voyage. 1t was our wish to
land and live in Apemama, and see more
near at hand the odd character of the man
and the odd, or rather ancient, condition
of his island. In all other isles of the
South Seas white man may land
with his chest and set up house for a life
time. if he choose, and have the money or
the trade; no hindrance is conceivable.
But Apemama is a close island, lying
there in the sea with closed doors, the
king himself. like vigilant officer, ready
at the wicket to scrutinIze and reject in
trenching visitors Hence the attraction
OF our enterprise, not merely because it
was little difficult, but because this social
quarantine, curiosity in itself, has been
the preservative of others.
Tembinok'. like most tyrants, is a con-
sentative; like most conservatives he
eagerly welcomes new ideas, and, except in
the field of politics, leans to practical re-
form. When the missionaries came, pro-
Tossing knowledge of the truth, he readily
received them, attended their worship, ac-
quired the accomplishment of public
prayer and thus made himself student at
their feet. 1t is thus-it is by the cuItiva-
ton OF similar passing chances-that he
has learned to read, to write, to cipher and
10 speak his queer, personal English, so
different from ordinary Beach de Mar"
so much more obscure, expressive and

gained admission to the island, the king
promising himself (and | believe really
amassing) a vast amount of useful knowl-
edge ere we left
The terms of our admission were as fol-
lows: We were to choose a site, and the
king should there build us town. His
people should work for US, but the king
only was to give them orders. One of his
cooks should come daily to help mine and
TO learn of him. In case our store ran out
he would supply US and be repaid on the
return OF the Equator. On the other hand,
he was to come to meals with US when so
inclined; when he stayed at home a dish
was to be sent him from our table; and |
solemnly engaged To give his subjects no
liquor or money(both of which they are for
hidden to possess). and no tobacco, which
they were TO receive only from the royal
hand. | think l remember to have pro-
tested against the stringency of this last
article; at least il was relaxed, and when
a man worked for me | was allowed TO give
him pipe of tobacco on the premises, but
none to take away.

dotted with dwarlish palms: here cut up
with taro trenches, deep and shallow. and,

plants, presenting now the appearance
of a sandy tannery, now of an

from Paris, is made of neat little blue
jaws breast with satin strings which tie
under the chin.
A very fascinating bonnet for street wear
during the more bitter cold weather will
consist of mauVe rosette with muskrat
skin ear tabs.
For skating and Christmas merry-mak-
ing dainty little beetle with narrow vel
vet strings makes cosy and very health
full hat for cold evenings under the wintry
sky.
Guipure and Venetian laces will be used
to keep Jack Frost out of the otherwise
exposed chest of society.
Suede hats will also be worn this winter.
The Bedford will be the popular chord
among musical people, it is said.
Shoulder capes will be more brief this
year than usual so as to show the figure.
Those who have abandoned the corset
will wear the Paisley or Bay State shawl.
A neat little eight-inch shoulder cape, a
wide belt and Kilt skirt will make very
tidy costume when surmounted by neat
little two-for-a-oua hat of some bright
shade.
A very nice riding habit consists of
skirt and bodice of appropriate material
and trousers with broad gold braid down
the side of the limb. These are neatly
tucked into the boot tops and are said to
be extremely comfortable.
CorsetS will be worn by those who pre-
fer them. and there will be no fuss made
over the fact More independence will be
shown this year than usual, both among
the women and the men, in the matter of
dress. This is hopeful sign. The news
paper Photographer has done much, | be-
lieve, to kill off the extremist and the
toady. Comfort will be the first thing to
consider.
Table etiquette will continue to be in
favor among those who can afford it. The
souvenir spoon will hold its place for the
winter, perhaps, but not longer. Those
who retain their faculties Will not 60 very
largely into the purchase OF spoons that
are so heavily embossed and oxydized in
the bowl that they injure the teeth and in
flame the mouth.
The true gentlemen who remain seated
in the street car while elderly ladies cling
to the roof and stand up in the aisle, will
continue TO ostensibly slumber or read the
paper and thus endear themselves to the
public.
The man with the wet umbrella, who
eats onions and then seeks to conceal the
fact by the use of stimulants, will still
continue to frequent crowded cars and
rest his elbows on the bosom of the meek
merchant from the country.
Broadway will have cable cars running
in November, and it is to be hoped that
the first few trains will be made of wrought
iron with a cowcatcher in front in which
may be concealed a large cartridge of
dynamite, so that the tiend who has been
in the habit of driving his truck over two
or three children per day may be entirely
obliterated the first week
Money will be plenty this winter among
well TO do people, it is said, and should
they feel a temporary stringency the rem
edy is easy, for they will only have to skip
a dividend or two, practice which is be-
coming more and more popular among our
foremost financierS.
