Rev. DIR. Charles Augustus Briggs, who
was suspended from the Presbyterian min
istry for heresy. was yesterday ordained
priest in the Protestant Episcopal
Church. Considering the long and bitter
agitation of what is known as the Briggs
controversy" people will breathe sigh of
relief now that it has come to an end ap-
parently. Bishop Potter says it was his
duty to admit the doctor to the priesthood,
and We are inclined to think that he is
right, for DIR. Briggs is one of the eminent
scholars of the church. and it does not
seem Just that he should be debarred a ca
reer of usefulness in it.

NEW USE FOR TELEPHONE.
ORcinls Experimenting With 1t In
Dispatchfng Railway Trains.

Chicago, May 15.-The Illinois Central
Railroad had adopted novelty in the way
of train dispatching by using the telephone
over short division of the road. The ex-
pertinent has proved very successful. al
most twelve thousand trains having been
moved over the section of two miles with
out accident. -
This experiment is being tried along the
tracks of the st. Charles Air Line. from
Fourteenth Street to the St. Charles River
officials say the principle is the same
whether the division is two miles or one
hundred miles long. The system is COM
mended as saving the expense of expert
telegraphers, and also saving time by or
ders verbally.

Lexington, KY, May 15.-Perry Belmont

Larry Hynes in Trouble.

Larry Hynes, formerly OF this city,
now of Cripple Creek, is in another
newspaper squabble. Mr.. Hynes has a
faculty Of getting into hot water with
newspaper just about the time that he
seems to be comfortably fixed and run
ming in good style.
1t appears that tho major portion Of
the plant in which Mr.. Hynes' paper was
being printed belonged to Jimmie Doyle.
Mr.. Hynes refused to support Frank P.
Mannix, another newspaper man run
ming on the democratic ticket for clerk
o Teller county and for this refusal he
was kicked out OF the office and the
kicking was not done fguratively either.
According to Mr.. Hynes story he was
bodily thrown out by Jimmie Doyle and
the latter's attorney. To have revenge
on then. for being ousted, Mr.. Hynes
had miniature paper printed on job
press, the columns Of which were filled
with fierce attacks on Doyle and the at
torney, both being surried in Mr.. Hynes'
own inimitable way.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hynes
once issued a miniature paper, similar to
the one he issued at Cripple Creek, in
this city when he was thrown out OF the
Star by the owners of that paper.
From reading MIR, Hynes' side Of the
story, one would incline to the idea that
he has been badly used by Doyle, but as
the latter is big mine owner and has
money to burn it is more than probable
that Larry will come out at the short
end Of the horn. However, it is not al
ways the case, right wins occasionally,
and the Sentinel hopes that Mr.. Hynos
will lead his prosecutors merry chase

Philadelphia, April 2l-John Wanna
maker tonight made a statement rela-
tive TO the acquittal OF ex-senator Quay
and the latter's appointment as sena-
tor by the governor. Among other
things he said:
The acquttal Of Senator Quay viii
be a disappointment TO every lover of
justice and every friend Of good govern
ment throughout the United States. Ii
records with emphasis the difficulty OF
convicting potent political defendants
charged with public crime, no matter
how clear, convincing and overwhel-
ming the evidence may be. Mr.. Quay
has been again and again accused OF
participation in treasury jobbing by the
newspapers OF his and other states,
with circumsta~cial detail. Hereto
fore, however, the basis for these &C
cusations largely consisted Of oral tes-
timony and of allegations by political
opponents. The case which terminated
today, however, unlike previous aceu-
sations, was founded exclusively upon
documentary proof in his cwn hand
writing and that of his friends and
confederates. The evidence OF his
guilt did not depend upon the veracity
of any man or men, but was supported
exclusively by his own letter and by
written entries and statements record
ed by his trusted friends and support
ers.
From the day the prosecution against
him was instituted until the verdict
was recorded he has sought by every
device TO delay and obstruct the efforts
of the commemorative officers 10 pro-
duce the written evidence OF his mis-
doing and 10 bring him 10 trial for his
offences. The same efforts 10 prevent
a full exposition of his acts as a public
official and his connection with the prl-
vate use of the public money, marked
every step in the extraordinary line OF
defence which his skilful attorneys
. adopted during his trial, in resisting
the jealous and able efforts of District
Attorney Rothermel to Introduce all
the %inculpatfng evidence In possession
of the commonwealth. BY technical
objection he excluded the evidence Of
fered to show that during his term a.
state treasurer he was paid interest by
subsequent treasurers charged in the
bill OF Indictment as being ~co-conspir-
ators with him in crime and. finally.
failed to take the stand in his own de-
Tense and submit himself to cross ex-
animation upon the charges made.
THE red book kept by his trusted
friend, Mr.. Hopkins, and which set out
the story of treasury corruptions was
overwhelmingly c~orroborated and its
verify established by the testimony and
admission of his friend. Mckee, and by
! the signature Of his friend and code
PENDANT B. ]. Haywood.
Notwithstanding all this proof ema-
mating exclusively from the lips and the
pens of himself and his closest friends.
and in the face of his own silence and
failure 10 testify TO his innocence he
was acquitted"

GLAD TIDINGS FOR IRELAND


Probably most of The Messengers
readers have not taken in the full
meaning of the great change made late
~ in regard to ireland. 1t is a very
agreeable thing to understand that
under the Tory government some most
important changes have been made as
to Ireland, that amount almost to a
complete revolution. They have been
progressing for months and a few days
ago the work was completed. The re-
suits we hope will not only be lasting,
but fraught with the greatest good to
long oppressed Ireland. 1t is Stated
that the changes, social and political.
are the most important to Ireland for
generations, or that have happened
since the Union. The New York Tri-
bune noting the work done for New
Ireland" says:
Three months ago the thirty-two
counties of ireland were governed by a
close corporation Of landlords, Union
lists and Protestants. Today they, or
nine-tenths of them, are governed by a
pOular body of tenants and peasant
prOprietors, Nationalist and Catholics.
There We're, Of course, exceptions to
the rule, and there now are. But THE
paramount fact is that considerably
more h three-fourths of the new
County Councillors belong to one or
another of The various Nationalist fac
tons. 1t is true that Lord Dunraven
was elected at Limerick, but DAILY, the
dynamiter, was in January chosen
mayor of that city. We have said
that even the British show little con-
Germ at this sweeping revolution"
The Messenger for a decade has es-
poused the cause of Ireland. 1t has
watched with great interest the efforts
Of h great Gladstone to give home
rule to the Irish. It has sympathized
with every effort made by the Irish
members in Parliament in behalf of
their oppressed and beautiful island.
When victory for the Liberals appear
ed near at hand it rejoiced. When
Tory opposition proved too strong for
Gladstonian success n Irish freedom
and progress it lamented with the Irish
and sympathized with them in their
very sad disappointments. But at last
the Tory party, under the tuteIage
and example Of Gladstone and his
friends, began to change its harsh poll
cy for a more liberal one and the re-
suits are seen in the changes mention
ed above. The good news will gladden.
many a faithful Irish heart, in Ameri-
ca. They still turn as did the Irish
emigrant in that marvellously pathetic
'Lament"-one of the sweetest of
songs-to the land of their nativity
with hearts of love and with them it
is still Erin mavournin. Erin go
bragh."

A son OF the late DR.. George w.
Blacknall, VINO was a native Of Gran
vile county, lives at Waterbury, Conn.
He is named after his father. The
Globe of that city of 80, 900 praises him
highly for mechanical skill. 1t says,
and it is pleasant to copy such praise
of a young North Carolinian:
The firm of Randolph & Cloves on
Saturday successfully completed d
large government order for condenser
heads. The castings weigh 5000 pounds
each, the largest ever run in this city,
or it is said, in the world. They are
80 inches wide, As inches long n 4
inches thick when cast, but each piece
is rolled down to ~ inches in thick
ness before it is turned over to Uncle
Sam. The composition Of which the
castings are made is 60 per cent. cop
per and 40 of spelter with a secret al
10y. The work was done under the ex-
elusive supervision Of George w. Black
nall, master caster at Randolph x
Cloves. Mr.. Blackna1l has already
won an enviable place in the mechani-
cal world, blu in the minds of local me-
chanics the successful completion of
the latest government order is his
greatest work UP to date"

Some people give literally seemingly
to the cause of Christ, butt they give
out of great abundance. 1t is the wild
ow's mite that exceeds and excels them
all. To give with profit to the soul you
must give at a sacrifice. The largest
givers are not the rich givers. The mar
who gives a tenth or a fifth out of his
perjury is an example of self-abnega-
ton. The following we clip from The
Charlotte Presbyterian Standard is il
luminaaive and helpful:
1--WE were once disappointed in the
gift of a dollar to a great cause by an
officer of a church. But when we heard
that in order to pay that dollar he
would have to cut aload Of wood, haul
it sever miles - the CITY, and give the
best part of two days time, we felt
Seif-condemned."
