ARNOLO'S TREASON.
Lecture by Prof. flsks n the Mathew
son Street M. {. Church.
II Was Given Under The Auspices Of the
Rhode Island Womsn's Club.

Prof. John Fiske. OF Cambridge,
spoke to large audience at the Math-
ewson street NJ. T.. church last evening,
his discourse being on Benedict Ar
nold's Treason" the lecture being Civ
en- under the auspices OF the Rhode ISL
and Women's Club. Prof. Fiske, who is
a very interesting speaker. first referred
to the childhood of Arnold, and then
described his lif- in the army.
He then said in part: After the cap
ture OF Quebec charges were brought
against Arnold of appropriating some
of the property taken. And although
these charges were not proven. IT show
ed even at this early period that the
people distrusted him. Later he got in
TO difficulties with the patriot party and
things became so uncomfortable that
he concluded to run away from the sit
uation." The story of how he came
back TO Philadelphia to answer charges
against him of the court martial, and or
the long chain of circumstances which
undoubtedly drove him to the other
side and finally led him to plan treason,
was given in an able and brilliant argu-
ment. 1T shows the depth OF baseness
which this man was capable, said Prof.
Fiske. "that he goes 10 Washington
and asks him TO give him command of
West Point so that he might give IL up
to the British.
Although a man of weak nature.
Arnold seems to have had enough, vir-
tue i'm him to realize the depths to
which he had fallen. And when he was
dying he asked for his old uniform and

decorations given him by Washington.
