Native of New Jersey.

Native of New Jersey.
DIR. Talmage was born in Gateville,
now Bound Brook, n. j., Jan. Z, 1882,
and was consequently in his SEVENTEEN
year. His father was a farmer of strong
and vigorous character and his mother a
woman of exceptional energy; his ances-
tors were Americans and members of the
Reformed Church from period antedat-
ing the revolution. DR.. Talmage studied
law at the University of New York and
graduated with high honors, but, per-
suaded by his relatives and probably feel
ing the inspiration himself, he entered
the New Brunswick Seminary of The
ology.
His first pastorate was that of the Re
formed Church of Belleville, n. j., but
his eloquence soon attracted attention,
and he was in demand. In 1859 he went
to Syracuse. y. Y, where his cOngrega-
ton was unusually critical and cultured.
Here it was that Talmage's genius be-
gan to assert itself most effectively. Yet
he served an apprenticeship of seven
years before he was called to Brooklyn.
Central Presbyterian Church of that
place, whose membership had greatly
y
He accepted and within few months
his success had become so extraordinary
that plans for a new tabernacle We're on
foot. In 1870 the first Brooklyn Taber-
nacle was built, but fire destroyed it, and
twice again visited this same flock.
Made His Church Famous.
DR.. Talmage's fame had become so
widely recognized and his preaching in
such demand that the Brooklyn parish
also had won a name through its pastor
1t was consequently rich and powerful.
New tabernacles arose in the ashes of the
old and nothing appeared to obstruct the
minister's rapid rise. The quarter-cen-
fury celebration held in May, 1891, at
Brooklyn Tabernacle is well remembered.
DIR. Talmage was then in the zenith Of
his renown. Soon after that he, in
measure, retired from active ministerial
duties. He Travelled much, lectured
great deal, and was in almost constant
demand He wrote not a little, was IN
the newspapers daily, and was one of the
public men frequently sought for by the
interviewer
DR. Talmage's greatness, it is generally
conceded. can be ascribed to his power
as an orator. Coupled with this he had
the talent of simple and trenchant inter-
probation of the scriptures. He was
Christian of the old school, if that ex-
preston may be employed. He did not
run much to new thought, higher criti-
cism or creed reform. He chung tenaci-
ously to a plain, pure program of every
day morals and right living. He found
enough noble texts in the Bible to supply
him with inspiration.
He was a magnificent lecturer. Some
of his flights of Oratory are remembered
rs being of surprising impressivcness
and picturesqueness. He drew lessons
from everything. He talked to a pur-
pose, but at the same time he garnlshed
his sentences with beauty. and his voice,
appearance and FIRE combined to enthrall
and uplift the nearer

Count BOnf de Caste1lane Not Az
lowed to Take a seat.

Paris, November AFTER an eXcit-
ing debate, the Chamber of Deputies
today by 27S to 235 votes, invalidated
election of Count Boni de Castellane as
a member of the house. Emile Chauvin
made a bitter attack on Count de Cas-.
tellane, declaring he a been guilty
of Irregularities and saying hat the
count had accused his opponent of BE-
ing of German descent and a Dreyfus,
ard. Count de Castellane replied, class
ing the charges as false. He said h.
had been accused of buying the electio9
and practicing charity for election pur-
poses. Nothing of h kind had ever
been prove, he declared. The vote
necessitates another election in the
Bases Alps district represented by
Count Bon
