BRIGGS PLEADS NOT GUILTY,

His Prosecutor Subm its His Books, the
Presbyterian Standards and the Bible In
Evidence-The Professor Neatly Trans
Colonel McOook-Lively sparr1ng.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The consideration
of the long series Of objections filed by DR..
Charles A. Briggs to the charges of heresy
brought against him by the Prosecuting
Committee, was continued at to-day's
session of the Ecclesiastical Court. DR..
Alexander, staunch Briggs man, moved
that in view of the defendants conditional
waiver of charges 1, 2. g. 5, and 6, the vote
on these charges should be by several
items. This would meet DR.. Briggs obiec-
tion that each of those charges really con-
tanned several charges
DR.. Robinson raised the point that ma
jority of the Presbytery might vote against
Dr. Briggs on one item and in accordance
with the defendants view on another item
Who could then say whether the charge as
whole had been proved or dismissedP DR.
Briggs said, in waving his objection, that
ftthe five charges transcribed the nature of
the original charges" His purpose was to
save time; but his objection that ''these
were insufficient in form, as they alleged
more than one offense," he could not waive.
If he is not upheld in the latter course BY
the court he would waive neither objection.
DR.. Briggs Is Ready for Trial
DIR. Lampe said that but one offense is al
legged in each charge. The items which DR..
Briggs called separate offenses were only so
many proofs of one offense. The defendant
denied this ard asserted that the two dis
tinct propositions were made in the first
charge. 'eThe Holy Scripture is necessary"
is one doctrine, and that it is the ''rule of
faith and practice" is another.
Loud calls for the question followed, but
DIR. George l. Shearer insisted on being.
heard. He said the motion, if passed,
would effect an amendment Of the charges.
Then the question of voting on the items
separateIv was put and carried.
Dr. Sutton moved that the charges and
specifications be considered sufficient to
put the accused on his defense. DR.. Briggs
announced that he was ready to 90 on at
once. Moderator Bliss called upon the de-
fendant to plead guilty or not guilty.
Before l answer to that question" Dr.
Briggs said, 'I must insist that all the evil
dence against me be read" This evidence,
as cited in the last charge, included:

"We are waiting" he said, Ito see what
the prudential committee will do, and we
can tell better what we shall do. I do not
think that the action of the Plymouth
Church will affect us here in Boston, as we
are too far away. Each church must act
for itself on the ground of conviction. Most

Humane Agent Adams Had Seen the Little
Girl Before.
An 1t-year-old girl was arrested by the
police for begging Wednesday night on
Wylie avenue and taken to No. station
house. She had with her book, on the
front page Of which was written an appeal
purporting to be from the widowed mother
of the girl 1t stated that their house had
been burned and that they had been left in
the world without clothes, home or money,
with four children TO support. The young
girl had been begging for some time and
had quite an amount of money subscribed
in her book
From the station house she was removed
to station No. 1, where Agent Adams, OF
the Humane Society, was called TO take
charge of her. As soon as Agent Adams
saw the girl he recognized her as one he had
arrested in Braddock last spring, and after
placing her in the care of her grandparents
had her father sent to the workhouse for six
months for making his child beg. Agent
Adams spoke to the child and she flushed
up little and answered him in q surprised
tone. Her name is Annie Moody. Agent
Adams has placed her in public institu-
tion, where care will be taken of her.

"rop Dressing in Midsummer.

at is sometimes a puzzllng question to
farmers what to do with piles of manure
that accumulate around stables during the
summer, where they can only become a
nuisance. One way to dispose Of them is TO
draw Off in a secluded place, pile the
manure in heaps and let it rot, covering
with soil to prevent waste of ammonia
This makes extra labor, and If a piece OF
sward land is to be found which il to be
plowed next spring, probably the best use
of such manure is as top dressing applied
as fast as it is made and spread as evenly
as possible, 1t will dry up, but it will
keep the soil beneath 1t cool and
moist When rains come its soluble fertility
will be washed down to the roots OF grass.
II there is any clover in the sod the clover
leaves will soon cover the manure and half
save it from burning away its soluble parts
in the sun. Really, however, there Is little
loss. Fermentation is not rapid enough TO
accumulate ammonia, 80 none VIII escape.
What fermentation takes place is chiefly on
the under side OF the manure clods aud in
contact with the soil. There can be no loss
here: and probably this is the best way to
use manure to make it produce largest re-

This making a splendid combination and
we do not think a finer can be made still we
would be glad to have any suggestion from
any one having a practical experience OF
the matter. or course such a mixture as
above gives a pasture the year round
Starting such pasture in September or
October it should be grazed only lightly the
first winter, for it should be allowed time to
get well established so it will be durable
thereafter, All Of the above species are
readily procurable. A great deal OF grass
and clover seed found in the market is
worthless, we ars sorry to say, but when fresh
and fertile seed can be made it is an easy
matter to establish splendid pasture.
Rye grass can be prohtably added to the
above or used as a substitute for some Kind
not procurable. Bur clover can be sub
stituted also for the crimson clover. Mix
lures are much to be preferred to any one
single plant, though this is not appreciated
In the south as 1t should be. In Eng land,
Scotland and other European countries,
where the finest pastures and meadows
abound, it is a common practice to use
mixture Of fifteen or twenty different plants.
Our people not having given this subject
much attention as yet, there are few or no
seed merchants who keep supply OF the
various species in the south, and one has TO
90 here and 90 there to get up mixture.
Many are therefore deferred from und der
taking an extensive mixture in making
their meadows and pastures. Then, too,
our merchants keep on selling grass and
clover seeds long after they have lost their
vitality. The selling Of worthless seeds
should be punished almost as severely as the
selling of adulterated medicine-both are
highly criminal
If you do not know of a reliable seed
dealer We believe we can give you the ad-
dress Of one or two who can supply you
with good seeds of the above.
In starting your winter pasture make
your land just as rich as you possibly can.
aud not begrudge the very best preparation
of the soil. The majority are apt TO do this
work too hastily. Write US again If you
need further suggestions.
By the time the new crop of pecan seeds
are ripened we will be able to advise you
where you can procure the best seeds OF the
thin or paper shell varieties-the only kinds
that you should plant. By all means get
the best quality possible. Not more than
fifty or ffty-five pecan trees should be
allowed to occupy two acres, as they should
be planted at least forty feet apart each
way. The land can be cultivated in certain
crops while the trees are growing and finally
converted into pasture.

Your clay loan, as naturally fertile as
you state it to be, should produce fine results
for winter grazing.
We should advise you to SOW q mixture
of clover and grass.
For the proper establishment OF a good
pasture you cannot do the work we'll with
out the use of harrow and roller. In Sep
tember pillow the soil thoroughly with scooter
and then cross plow. Harrow it thoroughly,
and after sowing the seeds roll the land.
This rolling is all the covering that will be
needed.
Do not try to do the work hastily, but
take time to do it well. for you will find it
to pay you in the end.
II you prefer, you can use several differ
ent plants alone, but we would advise you
to use a mixture Of five or six grasses and
clovers. 1t may, or it may not cost a little
more than using only one kind, but this you
should not consider, as you want something
good and permanent.
