HIS EUROPEAN
IMPRESSIONS.
Rev. Or. W. c. SnOdgrass De-
Iivered an Interesting Address
in Simpson M. {. Church.

Simpson NJ. E. church was well
filed last night at the lecture of DR..
Winfield Snodgrass upon impressions
of Continental Europe. y
This lecture is new and proved to
be,the most interesting and instructive
which has ever been given under the
auspices of the parsonage committee.
DR.. Snodgrass held his hearers from
the beginning until the end and it
was an enthusiastic and delighted aud
ience which discussed the lecture at
its close
DR.. Snodgrass compared the size of
the several countries of Europe with
some of the states of the Union, par
ticularly with New Jersey.
The inferior hotel accommodations,
the drinking customs and the lack of
water on trains were described.
The military exactments and thu
heavy taxation were also feature of
the lecture.
The schools and the system of
education were compared with our
own. The inetficiency of the railroad
service, the different moral stands and
the influence of the works of Balsac
and Hugo were ably described.
DR.. Snodgrass spoke of the love
of show, the brilliant colors in dress,
the grogeous uniforms of the militia
and of the diplomatic functions, the
villages, their fortifcations, the
rivers, contrasting the Rhine and the
Hudson, the lack of progress of the
state railways, the inconvenient Gus
toms, there being but one bagga ge
weieher at each great terminal.
The celebrated picture galleries and
famous buildings were described in
detail,
OF all the mountain systems the
Alps were the most accessible and o1
all the railroads in Europe those of
Switzerland took the lead. The hotels
of that country were the best and
the roads the smootEest.
A silver collection was taken and
resulted in $2S 60.

beat, he received a telephone message
from headquarters to go to Water and
Fayette streets where johnson had
a revolver and was threatening to
shoot r. F. White, whom he accused
of having been the one who previous
