At recent dinner Of the Twilight Club
In New York Prof. A. G. Perkins took occa-
sion to freely ''roast" the critics of DR.,
Briggs by the declaration that he had never
believed in an actual living devil until he
read of the tactics pursued by the accusers
of the eminent theologian during his trial
on the charge of heresy. Then he pro-
ceeded substantially to charge that the
ecclesiastical prosecutors of the learned
doctor endeavored to convict him by distor-
lions of evidence that would not have been
tolerated in criminal court. Apparently
the professor had many sympathizers
although none of them went quite so far in
open denunciation Of the recent trial as
he did. Quite a number Of very distin-
guished men Joined in the discussion.

They Said Good Night.

Goodnight, sweetheart" the Hussar said,
AS on her rosy lips he fed
Sweetheart, goodnight"
"How cruel that we thus must part"
Said he, as fondly to his heart
He clasped her tight.
Upon his breast she dropped her head,
And in return she softly said.
Sweetheart. goodnight"
Fair was her face-divinely fair,
Set In frame of gold hair,
Wonderously bright.
Once more she bent her stately head
While in the tenderest tones both said,
At once, Goodnight"
They noted not the time that fled
AS once again they kissed and said,
Sweetheart, goodnight"
But know not what more they said,
Because their kisses only led
Up to "Goodnight.'
That made me tired, and fed
From Forsyth park, and quickly sped
Far from the sight.

Another Shakespearean investigator has
seen lgnatius Donnelly and gone him sev-
eral points better as it were. In the course
Of recent lecture before the Detroit Read
ing Club DR.. w. o. Owen made the first
public presentation of his Shakespearean
discoveries. Among other things he said
he had devoted five years of hard labor to
the study Of the subject and felt sure that
he was not only on the right track but had
mastered the enigma. Besides the thirty
six plays the doctor says that the first folio
edition OF Shakespeare, published in 1923,
contains a number of other works OF an
historical and biographical as we'll as poetic
character. Each is cut up into minute
fragments and fitted together like a mosaic.
Each fragment Of the same narrative begins
and ends with the same cue words.
Ineligible references are given
when the story Is carried from
one play either forward or backward to
another. In the first of these deciphered
hidden narratives DIR. Owen will give to
the world in print biography of Shakes
peare into which is woven the counterpart
OF one of the Canterbury tales-the Frank

DR., Graves Secret.

DENVER, Col, June 2.-The Rocky
Mountain News this morning published
lengthy sensational article on the
Barnaby case, which in substance is as
follows: A story has come to Denver
regarding the Barnaby case which
might show the motives up in a start
ling manner. For some time the de-
tectives in the east have been steadily
working on clew and attempting to
find certain mysterious individual.
This person is said to have been the
great prime cause for this disruption
in the Barnaby family which eventu-
ally led to Mr.. Barnaby cutting off his
widow with $2500a year and the contest
of the will, the remarkable compro-
mise for 100000 when 100000
could have been demanded and I'M
doubtedly obtained, the close relations
between DR.. II. Thatcher Graves and
the murdered lady. the secret influence
he held over her, Barnaby's intense dis
like 10 Miss Sallie Hanley, and that
young wOmans carefully guarded Jour-
ney to this city and her reticence upon
her arrival. This person, who is likely
w OOCOuiO OhC vi Olc IlOSU lllpOi Uttllu
persOnages in the case, is said to be an
illegitimate child of the late Mrs. Jo-
sephine Barnaby. The latter part of
information comes as thunderbOlt in
the prevailing dullness in the unravel-
ing OF the great poisoning mystery.
Little is known at the present beyond
the bare fact that such a complication
exists. 1t has always been matter of
conjecture why the family suspected
Dr. Graves from the start. 1t seems
probable that the doctor knew of
Mrs. Barnaby's weakness, for there is
no other explanation of the influence he
certainly exercised over her. That
was abundantly testified to by the
BENEFITS in their published statements.
Miss Sallie Hanley the confidant of DR..
Graves, might have also been aware of
the fact. Why should she otherwise
know so much about the case and be so
carefully guarded, unless she could give
away point so valuable? 1t is easy to
see now where the pith of her testi-
mony is to be of such momentous value.

schweinfurth Ordered to Leave.

KANSAS CITY, June 1.-The Star says
a number of business men, citizens of
Kansas City, met yesterday afternoon
as vigilance committee and decided
that Schweinfurth, who is visiting and
holding meetings here, was blasphem-
Gus imposter. 1t was also decided that
he should be made to leave the city or
suffer the consequences. This COM
mittee met, organized and sent
Schweinfurth notice to leave the city.
The notice said that the people COM
posing the committee were thorough
Kansas Cityians, and would not tolerate
the imposition any longer, and had re-
solved for the good of the community
that he was to leave the city within
twenty-four hours or abide by the conse-
quences.
Schweinfurth declined to send reply
by the messenger who bore the note.
The committee held further meeting
this afternoon, but it is not known what
action, if any, was decided upon.
Schweinfurth sent word to Mayor
Holmes this afternoon, informing him
of the threat and asking for protection.
The mayor detailed two policemen to
guard the house where Schweinfurth is
stopping.

ElOped with a Convict Negroes.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 3.-The elope-
ment of penitentiary guard with fe-
male life prisoner is the latest addition
to Georgia romance. Two weeks ago
w. N. Holder, the night guard at the
Piedmont Broom factory, ran away
with Eliza Randall, female convict.
They have been at large since the night
of the escape. A reward was offered
for the capture of Holder or the woman.
Yesterday Sheriff McGuiness got on the
trail of the woman and man in Gordon
county. The couple secured canoe
and started down the Oostanoula river.
After hot chase they were captured,
and brought back to Atlanta this morn
ing. Holder was asked why he ran
away with the negro woman, and re-
piled: 81 don't know; was confused.
l don't care to talk now: am tired and
worn out" When the reporter in
sisted upon him telling the story Hol-
der said:
''Well, ran away with her because l
thought she was good girl and she
was the head of the Sunday school at
the convict camps. l never did think
she was having justice when she was
sent up. After leaving the peniten-
tiary we went straight on through Cor
don county, where we were captured"
The woman when asked how she got
away said: II have attempted to leave
several times before, but never did sue
coed until the last time"
When captured Holder had good
deal of money on his person. A large
bundle which he had been carrying on
his shoulder contained supply of
clothing for himself and the woman.
Four years ago Eliza Randall was found
guilty of murder in Quitman county
and sentenced to hang. Her sentence
was afterward commued to life i'm
prisonment. She killed her step-father
with an ak.

To Test Scheme to Produce In.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-On or about
June 18th the agricultural department
will test the efficacy of ex-senator Far
wells scheme to produce rainfalls by
means of dynamite carried into midair
by balloons. A preliminary test was
recently made in New York of the
problem as to whether dynamite could
be effectively exploded by the balloon
method and proved a success. DR. Dy-
renforth of Washington, distinguished
patent attorney, and former assistant
commissioner of patents, has thus far
superintendent the tests, and will at
tempt to demonstrate in ID few days as to
whether the Farwell scheme is sue
cess or not in its entirety. DR.. Dyren-
forth will proceed west in about enc
week and quietly select the point at
which the experiment will be tried.
While its exact locality is the secret of
the department, enough is known to
warrant the statement that some por-
tion of the Great American Desert will
be the spot selected to demonstrate the
truth or falsity of the scheme. Since
Senator Farwell flashed his theory on
the public last winter the agricultural
department has been flooded with prop
ositions to produce like effects. One
distinguished scientist of the Pacific
slope has addressed letter to Secre-
tary Rusk, received to-day, in which he
offers to produce rain by use of a NOR
tar for $1,000, the latter being con-
tingent upon its success. This gentle
mans theory is that rainfalls, if pro-
duced by explosives at all, can only be
procured by upward instead of down
ward or stationary action. In this the
generally agree, but the Farwell theory
will be fairly tested before any of the
other numerous propositions are care
fully considered and examined in all
their several details. The Fifty-frst
congress appropriated several thousand
dollars to test the Farwell plan, which
sum can not, OF course, be diverted in
favor of any other scheme.

F. H. Shows weather report for Nav
issued to-day says:
1.-THE coolest May in over twenty
four years record, except that OF 1882.
There were two harmless white frosts

more than so per cent above the May
average, and has been but three times
exceeded, in 1873, 1876 and 1889. The
wind velocity was below the average
and the cloudiness was normal. The
total rainfall was 655 inches, which is
227 inches above the May average.
Rain fell in measurable quantities on
ten days; there were six thunder show
ers. The entire rainfall for the five
months of 1891 now completed has been

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Post
says: There is a strong impression
among well-informed people in official
circles that Secretary Noble will in a
very short time retire from the Interior
department to accept a prominent place
in the diplomatic service. One story is
that he will takeMinister Smiths place
at st. Petersburg. Another and more
probable story is that if Secretary Proc
toy should be selected to succeed Sens-
tor Edmunds, which now seem certain,
Minister Lincoln will be made Secre-
tary of War and Secretary Noble will
be sent to the court of st. James. Sec
rotary Noble is still absent, but there
are those In his department who believe
that he will no longer occupy his pres
ent position"
