The Grand Canon of Arizona

Nat M. Brigham charmed q large audi
ence at the First Baptist Church last night
with his lecture on the Grand Canon of
Arizona. The hundred or more stereopti-
con views illustrating his subject were
surprisingly clear and well defined. One
who has never seen this vast chasm over
300 miles long, 600 feet deep and several
miles wide stands on its brink with Brig
hams views of the canon before him. The
vast depths and wild distances are so real
one shrinks instinctively from the awful
brink-then with shifting of scene real
ICES 1t is but a picture. Blended In the de-
scription was comparison with familiar
things that brings some realization OF the
vaStnesS of the canon. Nine OF the great
thirty-story buildings in New York, Mr.
Brigham explained, placed one on the other
would not reach within 900 feet OF the top
Of the canons walls. The Washington
monument would be but stunted pine
viewed from the walls. The character
sketch of John Hance, the guide, the man
who built the first trail and who knows
the canon no other man, and who from
long association coupled with vivid i'm
agination and less active conscience has
come to regard the whole as his own ham
diwork reused many laugh. Some Of
Hances quaint sayings and quainter lyings
have earned him reputation Baron
Munchausen would have envied.
Mr.. Brigham himself is one of the best
features Of his lecture. His pictures are
but excuse for the breathing of poem
From him words pile on words and SEN
tence follows sentence In perfect rhythm.
His fine tenor voice which has earned him
fame as a singer now charms his audience
no less in his prose than in his songs. II
is clear, rich, penetrating and Of great
volume. An unusual feature of some of
Mr.. Brigham's lectures Is his singing. In
the lecture on the Land of the Snake
Dance" which he will deliver at the Six
teenth Street Baptist Church on Friday,
Indian and Spanish songs are unique ac-

about the disposition of Wilkes Booth q

statement credited to him. There is not
and has not, beens any reasonable doubt of
the present disposition Of Booths BODY.

ent when the body was taken from the
place where it was landed at the arsenal
grounds, and, by the way, the statement
that it was landed ION a wharf at the
arsenal point is incorrect. The different

the incidents narrated, so absolutely mac

interesting article, so replete with minute
details, as far as it relates to the correct
place of burial, / find no reason to change
my statement, which you note is widely
different from the one ascribed to me.
Your article was evidently prepared by
some one who was not personally an eye

body. Pardon me for taking up SO much of
your time, but the above is a matter which
We all desire to have correctly and honestly

The statement that the whereabouts Of
the body of Booth was unknown was at
tributed to DR.. Porter in news dispatches
but. as Will be seen he referred to the
first burial place. He says the body was
carried over a long avenue. and though
denying that it was landed on a wharf on
the arsenal point, fixes the landing on the
point. AS stated by The Star, there are
persons living who were present at the
burial and participated in the removal
from the arsenal grounds to Baltimore but
as the statement attributed to DR.. Porter
was only as to the mystery surrounding
the first burial the matter may be permit
