The CASE OF DR.. BRIGGS.
Majority Report of the Committee Adopted
by the Presbytery

by the Presbytery.
New YORK, May 12.-The presbytery
today resumed consideration of the case
OF Prof Briggs of the chair of biblical
theology in the Union theological semin-
airy. The professor on enteringthe church
seemed perfectly self-possessed and I'M
concerned and was soon engaged in pleas
ant conversation with a number of the
presbyters.
The session was opened with prayer by
the Rev. DR.. Elliott. The adoption OF the
majority report was moved and caused
some discussion. An amendment to the
motion was then offered to the effect that
the presbytery adopt the minority report.
Several motions were made to adjourn un-
til this evening or tomorrow or next
month, but the moderator ruled that, the
committees having been heard, the Rev.
DR.. Briggs should be heard and vote was
taken on the reports. The Rev. DR.. Briggs
then spoke at some length in his own de-
Tense.
The motion to substitute the report Of
the minority for that of the majority was
defeated by the following vote: Yeas
Ministers, 81 elders, i total 50. Nays
Ministers, 49, elders, 10; total, %. A
majority of 20 against the substitu-
ton of the minority FOR the majority re-
port. A viva voce vote was then taken on
the adoption of the majority report and
it was adopted-yeas. A; nays, 80.
Prof. Briggs then gave formal notice
that he would enter protest against the
appointment OF the committee and CON-
plant against the action taken by the
,atT hot hla
would in certain contingencies prefer new
d.. Shetland offered resolution that the
judicial committee be appointed by the
moderator to take into consideration the
case of Prof. Briggs. Adopted.
The committee will be appointed later.
Adjourned.
At the regular meeting of the presby-
terry in June, it will probably be deter
mined when the trial of Prof. Briggs shall
begin. 1t is improbable, however, that
any further action will be taken before
the October meeting, as was suggested by
the Rev. DIR. Robinson.
In the opinion of thoughtful men this
decision of the New York presbytery is
the beginning of lar reaching split in
the ranks OF the preebyterians. As DR. Nell
vaine said, the condemnation of DR.. Briggs
means the condemnation of great party
throughout the world which is gradually
spreading in every branch of religious
work. II the general assembly shall
eventually discipline Prof. Briggs for what
he said in his inaugural address, there are
several other presbyterian ministers who
cannot conscientiously anu with self re-
spect continue in the folds of the presby-
terrain denomination. But meanwhile DR..
Briggs will steadily protest against the
action that has been taken, while he con-
fessedly stands ready to assist the presby-
terry in any investigation that might

To THE HOWARD CLUB-I will take for
my subject "a Start in Life" There is
nothing that tends more to the success of
a man than his knowing the limit of his
faculties concentrated on some practical
object. A man can do but one thing
well. When a man perfectly understands
himself mentally, physically and morally,
his road to happiness is smooth and So
ciety has a strong guarantee for his good
conduct. There are young men in every
section of the country whose am
bition has been chOked by friends
and relatives refusing to aid or encourage
them In acquiring an education that
will develop their capabilities, change
the whole course of their lives, better
their conditions and assure them a start
in life. 1t has perplexed the young men
OF every age how TO obtain a foothOld,
what to do, where to 20. These are
problems not easily solved. Consider,

FAT AND LEAN ANIMALS.
some Observations rs to the Cheapness
of Fat.

Some Observations to the CheApness
of Fat.
It is fact that a fat animal is cheaper
to produce than lean one, says the agri-
cultural editor of the Philadelphia Record,
as fat really costs nothing, so far az de-
priving the soil of nouris hment is con-
cerned. The cheapest article produced
on the farm is butter, il the labor is omit
ted, as butter takes little or nothing from
the soil. All carbonaceous compounds de-
rive their carbon from the air through
the agency of the leaves of plants, but the
nitrogen and mineral matter is derived
principally through the agency of the
roots. As the roots derive their nourish-
ment from the soil they take from the
soil that which is stored in the plants,
whether in the stalks or seeds, but the
fats, starch and sugar are compounds that
are formed by the leaves absorbing carbon
from the atmosphere, which unites with
oxygen in the proper proportions neces-
sary for the production oil the many forms
OF carbon in plants.
When feeding matured animal there
will he less mineral matter required than
for one that is growing, and experience
has long demonstrated that corn is one
of the best foods for that purpose known.
When all operations on the farm are con-
sidered from standpoint that permits of
calculations to be based upon the actual
value OF the material taken from the soil,
as we'll as upon the labor, there will then
be no difficulty in learning the reason of
certain fields becoming impoverished
while others improve. Corn deprives the
soil of but small amount of mineral
matter, about 10 per cent of dry corn
being water, 10 per cent. being flesh form
ers and ~ per cent. being tat and heat pro-
ducing matter, though these percentages
vary according to varieties of corn. show
ing that the feeding of corn 10 stock is
economical, as the more valuable elements
are left in the manure. 1t Is plain. then,
that to make an animal very fat will be
more profitable, when the fertility of the
farm is considered, than to dispose of it in
lean condition. the extra weight not de-
priving the soil of but small proportion
OF plant food.
The surplus should never be sold in its
original condition il 1t can be changed to

LADIES AND GENTLENEN-As Advance"
has accepted my timid challenge and has
written a very instructive and interesting
letter on his side of temperance question,
i will endeavor to bring up the rear.
Advance" after glancing over your
letter | was at a loss to know why you re-
ferred so far back in ancient history. but
after meditatinR over the matter for a short
time concluded that you were compelled
to pursue that course. As matter of fact.
in ancient times, before the LIQUOR curse
was brought to bear on the human family.
j will admit that war did cause more
misery in the human family than intemp-
erance, but since Intoxicating liquors have
been introduced in our land it has ex-
banded it's limits in sin and misery until
1t far acceds the misery caused by war
Now nv friend Advance" we believe that
simply the use of Intoxicating liquor has
been a greater curse to the human family
than war, while we may be incorporate

TO consider this fact.
Now in reply TO some Of your argu-
ment / will say that great many of the
ancient wars were the works OF God in
Furnishing the people for their wicked
ness while intempersnce is entirely the
work of man.
You referred to King Herod in Shaving
all the children under two years old.
Now Advance" do you consider this
war? / consider 1t premeditated murder.
j invite your attention also TO a few stats
tical items which are as follows: There
are 100000 men in the United States en-
gagged in the liquor traffic. We can con-
slider ourselves safe in saying that each of
these men has fifty customers who are ex-
cessive drinkers. So you see that will
number 100000 excessive drinkers in
the United States. Now l will leave the
intelligent reader to sum up the misery
that is caused by these Incorporate
men. Ninety per cent. OF the
criminals confined in our state
penitentiaries became criminals while un-
der the influence of whisky. Seventy-fiye
per cent. Of the inmates OF the insane
asylums became insane from the effects
of intoxicating liquors, either directly or
Indirectly. There is more money spent
in the United States in one year for liquor

Dislike the Color.
[Pall Mall Budget

The dispute between Norway and
Sweden, which threatens TO become seri-
Gus, is capable, he thinks, OF a very simple
solution. Whenever King Oscar III visits
Norway he is accompanied by q Swedish
escort who wear Swedish uniforms, and
the yellow" lining of their coats is q
standing grievance in the eyes of the Nor
wegian people. Were King Oscars at
tendants attired in court costumes with q
"red" lining, all would go well; the crowd
would be delighted. But as it is, when
ever those officials appear in the streets
with their saffron lapels, the national
honor is at stake. and the people exclaim;
''Why are we to be insulted with the yell
low2" The fact is that great rivalry ex-
lists between the two countries, and mis-
take is made in thus bringing Sweden to
Norway,

AN ELECTRICAL MARVEL.
The Latest Conception of the Wizard of
Menlo Park.

Menlo Park.
CHICAGO, May 12.-Thomas A. Edison,
the electrical wizard, arrived here today.
When asked if he had an electric novelty
in store for the Columbia exposition he
said:
"Well have a thing in view, but the
details are yet somewhat hay. My in
tention is to have such a happy combina-
ton of photography and electricity that a
man can sit in his own parlor and see
depicted upon a curtain the forms OF the
players in opera upon a distant stage and
to hear the voice OF the singers. When
this system is perfected, which will be in
time for the fair. each little muscle of the
singers face will be seen to work, every
color of his or her attire will be exactly
reproduced, and the stride and positions
will be as natural and vary as those of the
live characters. To the sporting frater-
nifty will state that ere long this system
can be applied to prize fighting. The
whole scene with the noise of blows, talk,
ETC., will be truthfully transferred. Ar
engagements can be made TO send views
OF the mill a la stock and race ticker"
