PROF. BRIGGS
Finishes Long Speech b His Own
Defence On neresy Trial.


NEw YoHk. Dec. l9.-In the Bri9gs'
heresy trial today Prof. Brixgs fnished .
three days speech in his own defence.
Prof. Brigss resumed his argument At
charge four, which declares that be as
serted in his inaugural address that Moses
wss not the author Of Penfaseach- This
involved discussion Of authenticity of Holy
Scripture in course Of which Prof. Briggs
reaiirned bis assertion in regard to the au-
thor Of the PentAteueh.
He said that now here in the Scripture vas
the authorship attributed to Moses. The
substance Of charge five 10 that Prof. Briggs
declared that Isaiah was not the author Of
the book which bears his name. Prof.
Briggs quoted high and ancient authority to
sustain this statement and proved quite ex-
haustively that nowhere in the Bible was
any such authorship credited to Isaiah, but
that il was patent and admitted that
Isaiah acted rs the editor of
books and writings credited to him. The
defendant added that he is to be judged by
the Westminster confessions. He declared
that the prosecution was not only incon-
sisteni with chapter Is Of the confession,
but in its position to the Bible itself.
The essence Of charge 6 10 that the ae-
cused had declared sanetiieation is not
complete at death. The defendant said be
had declared for progressive sanctidcation
and argued to show there was middle state,
and sanciifcation could never be complete
until the day of rcsurrections. The invaria-
bic statement of the New Testament is that
the second advent of Christ is the goal Of
sanctifcation.
DIR Briggs said: 81 have shown that the
doctrines taught by me are not contrary to
the Westminster confession. but in accord
Herewith; not irreeoncilable with the
Scriptures, but the product of compre-
hensive study of the Scriptures. They set
forth the doctrines of the Bible. which
have been made Of non-effect by the tradi
ton of men,"
Prof Briggs said that under the rules of
tn book Of discipline the prosecution had
not allowed testimony and argument in re-
buttal. lie would not insist strictly on the
enforcement Of the rule, but demanded
that the prosecution will not be permitted
to bring iu new matter or matter that 1t
had prepared months ago, and held for the
conclusion.
Col. McCook. for the prosecution, said
the committee would insist on the usages
of courts which allowed the complainant to
open and close the proceedings. The mod
orator so ruled.
Prof Briggs commenced to speak, but
the moderator said "Dr. Briggs, you are
out of order You have had your say, and
if the ruling is Objectionable, you can ap-
peal"
Prof. Briggs flushed and said in loud
tones, IL do appeal" A vote was taken,
and the moderator was sustained by an
overwhelming vote.

fearful dread of him spring up. His
eyes seemed to devour her, and the car
rage was delayed long enough for her
profile to burn itself into his brain. He
loved her, in his own vindictive way, at
first sight.
During the next fortnight he was in
variably at his place at the ratings and
saw her roll past in her carriage every
morning. He had discovered her resi-
dence and knew all about her goings in
and goings out. He had even in some
extraordinary manner become possessed
Of her genealogical tree and had COM
mitted the names of her illustrious an
cestors 70 memory, curious manifesto
ton of interest for one with his ante
cedents. There was some sort Of
fascination about him, too, for her, as
every time she passed him her eyes were
irresistibly drawn in his direction for a
moment.
Jim had followed her carriage to the
library on several occasions. One morn
ing ne was absent from the park and
she gave sigh of relief as she missed
his face. But he was waiting for her
outside the library, accompanied by an
other man, whose general appearance
at once placed him in the same evil
category as himself. The footman de-
scended from the box and went inside;
she remained without in the carriage
shivering instinctively with fear. AL
most Immediately Jim's companion step
ped into the road and struck one of the
FESTIVE and high spirited horses with a
stick he carried.
An alteration with the coachman en-
sued, and that worthy's attention was
distracted from his charge. In an in
slant Jim reached over the back of the
carriage and lifted poor Poppet right
out of her seat in his strong arms. He
strangled her cries with one of her own
silken wrappers, and turning down a
bystreet was soon lost in the intricate
mazes of st. Giles.
She was abducted in broad daylight.
Her struggles were utterly futile; she
was lost to her world forever.
The turns of fortunes wheel are most
curious. Jim soon wearied of poor,Pop-
pet, and after great many vicissitudes
she was at length obliged to perform
tricks in travelling circus. As for Lady
Dollydacks, she was quite inconsolable
for the loss of her favorite poodle

The Punishment of Crime. >

Colossal organizations with lavish APP
preparations are in the field for the pur-
pose of suppressing crime and pauper-
ism. Until within few years this
great army has been differed by the
church, and plans of campaign have
been mapped by it. Slowly the public
intelligence is awakening to the fact
that these methods have been ridiculous
ly inadequate, as proof exists that crime
and pauperism are steadily increasing.
The law of indefinite terms of impris-
onment for criminals committed for a
third offense has been the wisest prison
law ever passed, for by such law
criminals are the longer prevented from
the chance of perpetuating their evil
traits; and yet in Massachusetts, there
are sentimentalists who oppose the
enactment of this law.-Professor E. S.
Morse in Popular Science Monthly.

An Extinct Volcano.

On the Island of Mani is Halea-
kala blouse of the Sum, the largest
known extinct volcano in the world, its
giant crater pit, resembling the yawning
craters in the moon, being twenty-four
miles in circumference and 1000 feet
deep. Sixteen subsidiary cones rise from
its bed, some solitary, others in clusters.
The base of the mountain itself has a
circumference of ninety miles. On the
Island of Molokai is Kalamao, fertile
valley of about 10000 acres, walled in
by precipices 5000 feet high.
Here is the home of the lepers. All
who contract the disease areexiled here

How Miss Jennie Took Lessons.

Some women have such an aptitude
for cooking that dishes will turn out
well even though put together like stray
pieces of silk in crazy patchwork. But
the most of us want an exact rule.
Hence the value of cooking schools and
of excellent cookbooks, though pupils at
cooking schools are apt to be like Miss
Jennie, who last year wished to learn
the mysteries of the art.
She took a course, but when. asked
how long she baked her bread she re-
piled, Il do not know, for Susan baked
it." When questioned about the guam
tity of butter in her cake, she answered,
"Susan got the butter for me-" So it
was Susan's bread and cake after all

Ice from Impure Water Is Dangerous.

Ice from Impure Water Is Dangerous.
1t has thus come to be firmly estab-
lished as a primary principle in sanitary
science that sewage polluted water
should not be used for domestic pur-
poses either in its natural state or in it's
condition as ice. No water which is IN
fit to drink as water is fit to use for
similar purpose as ice. Its GOODNESS
may benumb the sense of taste, so that
no warning of its nature comes to the
consumer. Its intrinsic clearness and
beauty may put him off his guard, but
all ice cut from sewage polluted waters
is dangerous, and should by law be kept
from the domestic market.-T. Mitchell

TRADEMARK CASES

Hiram Walker & Sons, Of Canada, Get an
Injunction Against Chicago House.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-09-21

a case recently heard before Judge
Gresham, OF the United States Circuit
Court for the First District of Michigan,
goes to show that persons who use
whisky must be on the alert if they
would escape being imposed upon.
The plaintiffs are Hiram Walker &
Sons, Limited, of Walkerville, Canada,
distillers and bottlers of whisky known
as Canadian Club" Under the Cana
dian excise regulations whisky may re-
main in bond indefinitely, and the dis
tiller may, if he SO wishes, bottle it while
still in the custody of the government
officers, and thereby obtain an excise
certificate of the age and genuineness OF
the liquor IN the form OF an official stamp
over the cork of each bottle. This guar
antee Is naturally very much priced by
the distillers who have the old whisky to
secure it, and all whisky bottled by the
VAUDEVILLE establishment is SO guaran-
teed.
A Chicago firm have put up a spirit
which they call Montreal Club" al
legged to be made by the Montreal Dis
tiliing Co.," which was shown to have
no existence. In all but name, the
Walker labels were closely initiated, as
was also the official stamp of the Cana
dian excise. The proceedings were rem
dered somewhat novel by the appear
ance of MIR. u. A. Lash, @. c., OF Toronto
on behalf OF the Dominion government,
to support the application of the plain
tiffs to restrain defendants from further
use OF the counterfeit certificate. The
defendants were promptly enjoined from
continuing to infringe upon plaintiffs
trademark or labels, or to copy the Do
minion excise stamp.
A significant feature of the case was
the production by the defendants of affi-
davits by several liquor dealers of Chi
cago, who could hardly be ignorant of
the character of the goods in question.
1t would appear that the consumer
must depend upon his own care and
judgment for immunity from such at
tempts to Acknowledgement Wine and
