ceptions. IL had been expected by some
ehst action would be taken against DR..
Briggs by deposition. but such . motion
wac not proposed. It had been whis-
pered about that deliveranee would be
made agsinst the Presbyterian league of
New York and against the signers of

Miss NightingaIe's Advice.

The Young Woman publishes the fol-
lowing autograph message to tho girls
of Great Britain from Miss Nightingale
my message to girls would be: Uj
Train yourselves to Your work, to Your
life. The last 20 or 30 years have recog
nized beyond everything this necessity
of training (2) Have higher object
than the mere undertaking in all you
undertake When we fail or are disap-
pointed, we lose heart and perhaps
strike work. But if we have recognized
ourselves as Il will not say only a
wheel or tool in the hands of that AL
mighty highest and truest and best, we
have that blessing of being part of the
whole, and whatever our own failures
arc never cast down. (3) AS one of the
best women workers of our day says,
The talk now is of rights, not right.
Let that not DO our case. am myself
always prisoner from illness and over
work, but all the moro I wish you god
speed.

four officers. but Judge Woods held that
Its publication in the newspapers was
sufficient service in itself for ell the
defendants. An application was made
to the Supreme Court for the release OF
the eight officers of the union by q writ
OF habeas corpus. and, pending the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court, they were
given their freedom under bail.
Counsel for Debs and his associates
based their application on the grounds
that their sentence, without indie tmen t
and trial by jury, was in violation OF
the constitution, particularly it's fifth
and sixth amendments, thas the infor
nation upon which they were convicted
did not show shy violation of the in
junction. Also thss the injunction was
void, because the bill asking for 1t
stated no case of which the court could
take cognizance, and was in effect bill
by the Government OF the United States
to maintain the public peace and enjoin
violstions OF the penal code.
The arguments before the Supreme
Court by G. s. barrow and Judge Lyman
Trumbull for the union, and Attorney
General Olney and Assistant Attorney
General Whitney for the Government,
attracted great attention.

DEATH oF sEoRErARY GRESHAM.

The death of Secretary Of State
Gresham will be great shock to the
country, for, while it was known that
he was suffering from an attack of
pleurisy, 1t was not supposed by the
general public until yesterday that his
disease would terminate fatally.
Yesterday evening early, however,
bulletins began to arrive from Washing.
ton announcing that the distinguished
patients condition was critical In the
extreme, and shortly after 8 o'clock 1t
was stated that he could not survive
the night. From that time until lis
this morning, the hour OF his DEATH
reports were constantly sent out from
Washington, each foreshadowing the
nearer approach OF the end.
In the death of Secretary Gresham
the country has lost true, patriot and
able statesman. His qualities were not
as brilliant, perhaps, IS some Of his
predecessors in the office of Secretary
of State, but he was safe man for the
place he held and a true American. The
record Of his life published elsewhere
speaks more eloquensly of his worth
and services than IL would be possible
in the brief space now allowed. His
loss will be deeply deplored by the
whole country where his merits are
known and appreciated by all the peo-
Pile, regardless Of party or sectional
lines.
