END OF THE ARGUMENT.
DR.. Briggs Case VIII Now Be Considered
by the Court.


by the Court.
The argument in the Briggs heresy trial was
finished at the Scotch Presbyterian Church in
New York yesterday afternoon. The next thing
is for the court TO consider the evidence and
arguments and vote in detail on the charges
1t will begin this task next Wednesday after
noon and the sessions will be in secret The
members of the court do not know how long ii
will take them TO complete the vote, but some
say It will take a week They expect close
votes on the charges
More temper was display ed yesterday than at
any previous session. DR.. Lampe concluded
the argument in rebuttal for the prosecuting
committee, speaking on the charge that DR..
Briggs denied the completion OF sanctifcation
By death.
DIR. Henry van1yke moved that as the mod
orator had ruled that DR.. Lampe had intro
duced new matter Ia his rebuttal Prof. Briggs
be allowed to reply to it.
Col. McCook defended DR.. Iampe, saying
that he had introduced new argument and not
new evidence.
Finally, Moderator Bliss ruled that new mat
ter had been introduced and gave Prof. Briggs
the right to reply.
DR.. Briggs reply did not occupy much time
The professor attacked DR.. Lampes historical
knowledge. He said the doctor had spoken of
John Ball as participating in the Westminster
Assembly, when John Ball died in 1920 and the
Westminster Assembly met in 1913 He closed
by saying that the court had his defense and
he challenged the members TO judge him by the
Scriptures and the Westminster Confession.
Moderator Bliss then ruled that the case, so
far as the arguments and evidence were CEN
cerned, was ended. II took long discussion to
choose a time for resuming the case, but finally
next Wednesday was named.

TROOPS AND THE BUFFALO STRIKE.
Lieut.. Hardin's High Praise of New Works
National Guard.

Lieut. E. z. Hardin OF the United States
infantry md now in the service of the state
National Guard has sent an exhaustive report
Of the mobilization Of the state guard at the
Buffalo railroad strike 20 The edjutant general
Of the United States army. Accompanying the
report sre maps showing the strength Of the
troops. their location at Buffalo and the situa-
ton Of their various srmories. A history Of
the strike and the manner OF calling out the
troops is given, as is detailed statement Of
the various camps at Buffalo and the condi-
tion Of each. The report says in abstract:
1.-The health of the troops was excellent The
duties imposed we're exceedingly disagreeaoe,
the men being compelled to do guard duty
more than half the time. There was no drunk
extreme aggravation. Not only were they as
sailed with the most violent aud abusive Lam
guage but were frequently assaulted Only
two deaths occurred. The discipline Was ex-
cellent. and the manner Of doing guard duty
shows the result of the training received at the
state camp of instruction. Affairs were admin
is.ered with . view to accomplish the objects
aimed at and without any complications arising
from too strict adherence to the routine for
maiities Gen. Porter did everything that
could be done for the comfort of the troops.
The general result of my observations is that
the system of instruction adopted in this state
is excellent. l believe that what occurred at
Buffalo shows that troops trained as these
are will readily conform 70 the conditions of q
campaign The percentage Of the organiza-
tions present, 9I.5S shows that the men may be
depended upon for duty when called

PHILADELPHIA CELEBRATES.
DISTINGUISHED BY HAIR,
It's Color in Relation to the Pursuits of
Professional Men.

lCS COIOr IN ReiatfOn TO the Pursuits OF
Professional Men.
From the Nineteenth Century.
DR.. Deddoe tells US that there is a direct re-
lation between mems pursuits and the color of
their hair. An unusual proportion of men with
dark straight hair enter the ministry, red
whiskered men are apt to be given to sporting
and horsefesh, while the tail, vigorous blonde
men, lineal descendants of the Vikings, still
contribute large contingent to our travellers
and emigrants.
The plumage OF canares can be considerably
altered toward red or orange by feeding them
on stimulating diet of red pepper. and though
this may fail for human kind in general, some
thing might be done toward increasing the pig
ment in the hair and give hope to many a
melancholy owner Of gray locks.
Suppose. for a moment, that a protective
color, like that which obtains in the fields.
woods and hedgerows, ruled in the world OF
man. what an amazing change would ensue in
the outward appearance OF affairs! If rogue
could but at will assume the perfect guise of an
honest man and the gilded wasp of society ap-
pear as mason or honey bees, or were saints and
sinners alike compelled to wear their own I'M
mistakable livery, what a changed world would
this OF ours be! II men. like canaries or cater
pillars, could but change their complexion by
change of diet, mode of life or pursuit, then we
might indeed imagine an alderman, after years
Of calipash and calipee. assume the hue and
shape OF turtle. Scrooge, the miser, after a
life of secret boarding, would turn as yellow as
his guineas. Mr.. Carcass, the butcher, would
become as rubicund as the beef on his stall, in
stead of appearing as a trim, dapper. pale face
in frock coat. and Ferret, the poisOner, as
black as the black arts on which he thrives.
But outside the limits Of nightmare dream no
such word lie possible. We have to be content
with medley Of far more sober realities, where,
though white ppiders" mostly come to grief,
the confidence trick still fourishes, and .'men
are mostly FOOLS" sit is an age" SAYS pro-
found thinker, ''of weak convictions paralyzed
intellects and growing Iaxity of opinion. There
is an intense struggle for bare existence ever
going on, but the fittest do not always survive.
There are many wise men; but of many wise
man will It never be said:
This fellows wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that wen demands hiSh Wit,
while the foolish one, in cap and BELLS apes wis

spani.h warships Coming Next Year.

Admiral Cervera, Spanish minister Of marine,

three cxravels, viii sail across the ocean, but
the other two will be towed aeross, probably by
the warships.
The minister Of marine further said that the
statue OF Columbus that il to Be erected In

that city on board warship, bus he did not
specify which Of the vssssls OF the 6pauish

PRITCHARD's DOUBLE LIFE.
The Part Wac Greater One Than He
Could Carry and Tie Was Found Out.


Could Garry and He Was Found Out.
Gertrude Frances Cregier, the young wife of
John Cregier, well-known resident of Belle
Vile avenue, Bloomfield, N. j.. disappeared .
few days ago, and 1t was said that she had gone
Pritehard. Pritchard had boarded at the
Cregiers' and WAS very friendly with Mrs.
Cregier,
1t is now learned that the couple were not in
Canada, but were living not far from their
home. They were found out by Mr.. Cregier
and Mrs. Pritchard, living in Franklin. Mrs.
Pritchard came from Canada shortly after her
husbands disappearance. expecting to join
him.
According to the story told BY Mrs. Pritchard
she received o letter from her husband about
three weeks ago, In which be stated that he had
. fine home prepared for her and asked her to
come Oh and Join him. She packed part of her
belongings and sold the remainder. With the
money thus obtained she came to New York,
where she was met by her husband His be-
havior. she says, when he met her was all that
could be desired. She says that frequently,
while her husband in Bloomfield. she sent
him money, and had sent him some not long
before the reception Of his letter asking her to
join him, the last remittance being addressed
TO him at Nutley
On the morning of their arrival in Newark
they went to Nutleyand secured the registered
letter in which the money was inclosed After
getting the money Pritchard took his wife to a
boarding house, and while there she found in
his pocket lady's watch and a lady's pocket
book She became suspicious, but he treasured
her. They stayed at the house for several DAYS,
Pritchard being away good part Of the time.
1t has since been learned that during his
absence he visited Mrs. Cregier. On Saturday
be promised TO take his wife to Bloomfield to
show her the home he had written to her about,
but failed TO do so. as he went out in the morn
ing and did not return. Mrs. Pritchard waited
until Monday, but her husband did not return,
SO she started for Bloomfield alone.
When che reached Bloomfield she made in
quiries for her husband and finally found Il man
who had known him and who told her of her
husbands escapade with Mrs. Creger. The
knowledge almost Frustrated Mrs Pritchard.
but she went to Mr. Cregier's house and told
him who she was He was greatly surprised as
he had never known that Pritchard had q wife
Together the couple traced the clippers to
Franklin, where they found them living in
pretty cottage the principal street of the
village. Mrs. Pritchard at once secured var
rant for her husbands arrest upon the charge
of abandonment. Mr.. Cregier has already
taken steps to get divorce from his vito and
the case will soon be heard
1t is probable that Mrs. Pritchard will prose-
cute her husband for obtaining money from her
under false pretenses.
