In "Almost a Life," ft drama which was successfully played a few weeks ago at the Brooklyn Park Theatre af tor a snccessf ul run of some weeks in New York, ono of the amusing incidents was tho appearance upon' the stage of a porson Blmulating an aggravated rmo of epilepsy.

The character deceived the by pretending to have fits, and went through hi3 contorts ous beforo the audience, who were very much delighted with the realism of tho porformauoo. In "M'liss," which is tho attraction during tho prosont week, with MiBB Katio Muyhow as the star, still another pleasing and more popular infirmity is developed, namoly a mild and amusing attack of delirium tremens. The unities, if there really arc such things, are well preserved in this play, for the person Buffering from thia highly dramatic disorder is not tho Btar, nor the hero, nor tho villain, nor auy of these eminently necessary elements of dramatic construction. Tho audienco is delicately prepared for such an exhibition by the uaino of the sufferer, who is known in tho mining camp in which tho action oocurs as Old Hummer Smith. Whero all men drink copiously, as iu iniulng camps eoe Mosflra.

Frod. Marsden and Joaquin Miller ho who has earned tho of Old Jitmmer must indeed bo inordinately, not to say prodigiously given to liquor, and that tendency to delirium tremens is one of his distinguishing characteristics follows as a matter of course. Tho nervous disorder, mania apotn, like others, varies considerably with I Uo individual, and inoidoutally, with tho character of tho fluid taken. Medical history tollB of a case in which the patient was deceived on only one point, namely tho appearance of an illusory olephant, no larger than a pig, which frisked about him like a pet Bpauiol whorevor ho went, which disappeared when tho pationt rooovered, and roapyeared wheu, like Old Bummer Smith, ho had 'em again." A belief in tho presence of numbor los canarioa in his bodroom is another instanco of pleasant aud picturesque alcholio mania ou record, the patient Bpending two wholo days iu capturing warblora and caging them. Old Hummer Smith, who seems to have boon an amiable character, had a tendency to seo jackass rabbits adorned with all the latest fashions of tho gay capital of Franco, with hero and thoro.au Insidious serpent, which ilWtw would carefully remove from his person.

Tho dramatist unquestionably introduced tho reptilo as a concessiou to popular prejudice, but he would have done bettor to omit tho snake, and leavo the harmless Old Bummer to enough to take over my entire Ufa. It ia unfair to put the matter off indefinitely, and oven for two or threo David Wells Mar I Ut a peraonal difficulty whioh lias In my way, at least It is that upon my shoulders rests (lie responsibility of attending to the funeral lervicoa of our deceased aasoclato Brother Stead. I have been excused from ono funeral to como here, and I have only to morrow to prepare a biographical sketch of Brother Stead. If tho Presbytery chooses to put soincoue in my place all well and good. But, for my part, I don't seo how under the sun you ore going to hurry up tho matter.

Let me assure thoso present, while I am on tho floor, that it is from no dOBlro to embarrass Brother Talmago that the committeo oiTora its present report. Eldor Ilabcock (a member of the committee) If the Presbytery sees lit to tako up the matter now, all well and good. We havo dono our duty. For my part. 1 Hhould be most happy to bo reloaded from tho committee, but I shall not hesitate to say that in my opinion the Presbytery would stultify itself by adopting the amendment.

Rav. Samuel T. 8pear If we can get right to the question beforo and dispose of the amendment, wo can givo tho committeo thi instruction it desiivs. I do not seo that a torriblo outrage would be perpetrated upon this presbytery and upon Dr. Talmago by a dismissal of tho whole matter.

I can see tho inconsistency of it, and I ahill vote against the discharge of the committee, in order to get at tho original motion. ltov. Arthur Crosby I would suggest an amendment to tho question before us, which Is that ANOTHER COMMITTEE BE APPOINTED to take charge of this whole matter. Hy this step wo would do away with all the difficulties, iu the case. Our oommittee.

which has been laboring for the. past two wooka. is already overworked. Laughter.) Tho nature an.l extent of tho "common fume" I can assure you, gentlemen, is sufliciont to overwork most men of a sensitive mora1, feeling. for ono, should fool obliged to havo this burden taken off my shoulders.

The objection has boon raised that the committee has not dis charged iti duties; that it haa lwon idling its time, and tnut it did not havo sufficient penetration find out what it was directed to. Wo aro willing to submit to this, but wu are not willing that tho wholo matter should bu now thrown asido. We, therefore, refuse to submit to being d.schired unless another coimnitte be appointed in our placo. Rev. Benjamin B.

Drake When tho Chairman nf tho coinmittoj says that his work anil the work of his associates have so burdensome I am Hio'inod to Im liuv. that there is something iu the "common fame." I think that it would be to tho interest of the Brooklyn Prc. bytory. and to the honor of Dr. tho committee were to fulfil its work.

The Moderator Are you ready for the question Itev. Adam (Fort Greene Church) I hope that it will not lo inferred from any of the remarks that havo been made that tho committee lias come to the conclusion to present any iiemioious rejsirt relative to Dr. Talmage. It is the duty of our committee to Inquire into the strength of the "common fame," and say whether or not it comes under the definition of "common famo" as presented in our look of discipline. I do not desire it to be understood that the committeo hud atllrinod tho truthfulness of auy pernicious reports.

Much examination and investigation has taken plucc, but Its result I am not prepared to state. Th i Moderator The question comes on tho amendment, which is to the effect that tho committeo be discharged. The amendment was lost. Tho Moderator The question now comes upon the motion that the report of the committee be accepted. The report was accepted.

The Now, what shall wo do Rev. Dr. Van Dyke It seems to me, Mr Moderator, that whatever may be a man's views in regard to the merits of this case, whatever may be his relations to tho person mainly Interested in it, there can but one opinion as to the best course wo ought now to take. Tho fairest and quickest possible process to settle the question as to whether or not a member of this Preabytery has been untruthful and deceitful Is hy rHSTrruTiNO A JTTDICIAL This is the end toward which we should all at once drive. You cannot do it by prejudging tho case one way or auothor.

No matter what may be tho character of the "common fame," no memberof this committeo or of this Presbytery, has, at the present time, any right to say whether or not Dr. Talmage Is innocent or guilty. The only way under our law to gut at the question i by a Judicial trial, unless the Presbytery determines to reconsider ita action of two weeks ago. Tills man (Dr Talmage) BtandB charged with falsehood and deceit. If he is guilty let us censure him: if he ifl innocent, let us him.

Talmage in this Presbytery, but Dr. Talmage's church. I want to stole, however, that It will not 1 convenient for Mr. Talmage to be hero on Monday, and I wish that the committee Rev. Arthur Crosby I consider it unfair for the gentleman to attempt TO Dfl'TATK TO THE COmrrTTEE the hour in which ii shall report on tin matter.

Rev. Milton Greene Mr. Moderator, 1 call tho gentleman to order. Mr. Freeman I have interest enough iu thia Presbytery as not to is; insulted any sucli Rev.

Adam MeOlcUuud I dun't think that the com failed The Moderator The gentleman is not speaking to the question. Mr. i'rtM 'iiian has the Mr. Freeman (eoiitimiiug) Mr. Crosby ays that the) committee houUI not blame for having workod more faithfully.

If it Is; true that Il v. T. IeWitt Talmage, I). is ehargi'd by inimou fame with "falsehood and doceit and practices whieh tend to bring religion into contempt," then, sir. what gre it labor can devolve upon the committee Why.

the v.ry man who wrote the resolution making the chargo against Mr. Talmage, ought to bo able to answer the question himself. The mail had no right to introduce such a resolution into tbis ln bt. unle lie hiul a sl idea of what "common fame" was. If ho lacked information iu Rcv.

Dr. Van Dyko (Interrupting) I ask what ia question lefore us. Tho Modorator stated tho question. Dr. Van Dyke Then, Mr.

Moderator, I claim that tho gentleman is not speaking to the point. in reviewing action taken by tho Presbytery to weeks ago. Tlie gentleman's remarks were an of Loo past action of this Presbytery. Rev. Arthur Crosby I confess to the crime of being a young man.

and if In the minds any other gentlo nieii present, bcsldo the Tabernacle Elder, I havo give offense, I wn.LT'OLY APOI.00I7.E. Tho Moderator We have the request of tlie comrait teo to adjourn to a certatu time beforo us. What shall we do with It Dr. Talmage I would llko to know what will bo dono when this committee reports. The Modorator Nothing can bo done except the receiving ol tho report oi tho committee and the citations for the witnesses.

Itev. Dr. VanDyke If the committee by that time 1 investigated tho case, the Presbytery will proceed to trial. Rov. Arthur Crosby Tho Presbytery will ploase remember that there is another point in our rejxvrt bolide those charging Dr.

Talmage with falsehood, deceit and sensational preaching. Of course, these questions will open a field of discussion, and Dr. Talmago will un dvubte(lly be here in Dr. Talmage (Interrupting) To givo you aspeclnien, I suppose Rev. J.

Milton Greene I move as an amendment to the request of the committee that the Presbytery adjourn until the 10th of March, when the committeo bo requested to report. This, of course, will not interfere with the regular meeting on tho first Monday in the month. Rev. Dr. Van Dyke Do tbo Tabornaclc delegate oon sout to havo tills matter irostpoued so long Dr.

Talmage What do you think of that, Brother Freeman Mr. freeman If I were In Dr. Talmago's place I would liko to know how this matter would remain while I was away from Brooklyu. I would uot like to leavo tho city with HUCH A CLOUD HANGING OVER ME. Dr.

Talmage That won't spoil my trip. Thank Ood tliJfe nothing hanging over my mind. Keverleltw happy in my life. TrT3'. Mr.

Freeman If I were Indicted I would want my case tried immediately, Itev. William Martin The Presbytery ones somethlmj tolticlf in this matter. I hope that the trial will not take place, when the person principally interested in It is absent. ltov. Dr.

Van Dyke I want to see tho honor of the church clear. I don't want Rev. Dr. Talmage to go oui of the City of Brooklyn presenting the siK clacle of man charged witii deceit and falsehrsxl and yet saying he doesn't care alvout it. llev.

Dr. Talmago ought to be here at this trial, no matter what else occupies hia attention. Rev. Arthur Crosby Tho tr uble in this matter is that the Committee knows what it Is alKiut and joa don't. I havo uo desire to como into this lroabytery and make a specified chargo unless I know thoroughly what I ain about.

The large, comprehensive mind of the Taburnaele elder may lie able to grasp tho matter, but the five memlcrs of the Committee are willing to admit that, as vet, they are unable to do so. Rov. Archiba'd McCullagh for one, will vota against auy motion to render the report in the nlsvnca of Dr. Talmage. Kveryhsiy beems to bo satisfied except the brother from tho Talwrnaele.

The Moderator The question comes on tho motion that the committee be requested to report at an adjourned meeting of the presbytory, to i held in the Second Presbyterian Church, at two o'clock in tho afternoon, on March 10. The motion was carried, and after prayer the Presbytery adjourned. SlONEY MAKKBT. Tlie Itn.rtrn.in nnd Keens A 'J'lut lor Ilie Dii ker otlicr tor Consols ot 1S07 The Stock Market Active. Wall STnr.F.r, February 18.

Complete detail') of tho bargain consummated yesterday betweon Jay Gould aud Keens Oa. are jet wanting, and it is scarcely probable that they will soon be re. oiled, but enough i known to state positively that Gould haa parted with TO.OOO shares of Union Paciflo stock at 05 that it has lieon bought by Keono 4i Co. and that Eeeue, Osborn and Cammaek will be elected directors of tiro Union Pacific Railroad Company at the next election IB March. Theso parties would not have taken the stook had not they )een secured in some way against loss and as part of tho bargain Gould gave them a "put" or privilege to deliver to Mm at auy time boforo July 1, 60,009 shares of the stook at a certain price.

Now, if Gould should without warning market any portion of the sbx'k which he still holds and should thereby break down tho market and interfere with Uifl plans of Keeno they would have 70,000 shares of their own stock which they oould market, and, moreover, havo a "put" on 50,000 more. It ia also said that Gould is pledged not to attempt to sell any of his stock below 90 per cent. Tho motive for the dicker la bo'ioved to bo a desire oa tho part of Gould to make Union Pacific an active Btock, which could not bo done while he held 190,000 shares of it, for no matter if dividends were regularly paid investors would not touch It, fearing some manipulation, which would brean down the price. The boll combination wero desirous of making sorne arrangement with Gould by which they could feel safe la advancing tho stock in which they were particularly interested, and they could not do so while Oould waa short of th Northwestern. Accordingly they tnada the bargain, have euabled him to cover his aborts' and now appear to feel certain that they will have no opposition from Oould In manipulating the market to their own interest.

Rev. James L. Ludlow, of tho Westminster Presbyterian Church, acted as Moderator, and Rov. J. MIZtoa Greene, of Staten Island, was at his post as stated clerk.

THE PK0CEEDIKO9 woro opened with prayor and tho minutes of the previous meeting, held in Dr, Van Dyke's church, were read and approved. The Moderator Wo have met for a special purpose, and unless there is some motion instituting other business, we will proceod to it. Rev. Samuel T. Spear I move that we hear the report of the committee appointed to investigate Rov.

Dr. "common fame." The Moderator It would be well If tho resolution authorizing the appointment of the committeo were first read. The resolution was read. It is as follows Whereas, The Rev. T.

DeWitt Talmage, D. is charged by "common fame" with falsehood and deceit and with using improper methods in preaching, which tend to bring religion into contempt; Whereas, It is the duty of the Presbytery to protect the good name of its members wheu they are unjuntly arisaiied, and to BUbject thoeo who oileud to proper discipline; therefore Resolved, That a committee of three ministers and two elders be appointod to investigate tho nature and extent of the common fume referred to in tho preamble, and that said committeo report to tho Presbytery what. if auy further action shall be taken. The Moderator Have this committeo anything to report Rev. Arthur Crosby As chairman of that committee I say that your committee report progress, aud as iuthe minds of some of the members of the committee there is a doubt as to the extent of our pou era we would ask the Presbytery to instruct us an to whether, iu case we should be compelled to recommend a judicial trial, wo should be expected to present with such a rccommonda tion a charge and specification; and wo ougge.it that when the Presbytery adjourn it bo to meet again on Monday noxt, when the committeo will bo ready to report in full.

Rev. Benjamin F. Millard I thought that tho functions of the committee were to ascertain the nature and extont of tho "comnionlfame," to Bubmit the lucts to this body, and that tho Presbytery should then decido what (mould bo done with the charg is. The committeo was expected to day to have these facts spi cad before tho public. Rov.

Dr. Van Dyke I certainly shall object, upon tho ground of common justice, against thi4 committee or any othor committee bringing in what thoy might consider tho facts aud spreading them before this body. You boo at onco that tho spreading of the facts beforo this body would not afford a fair opportunity to ro.p.md to them. I shail object to thu facts being spread hero unless under a Judicial proocss. Major Corwin I mora the acceptance or the report.

Rev. CharleB Wood I would i.sk that tho words and tho committeo be discharged," bo addod to tho motion. I move that as an amendment. The Moderator Tho question will come on the amendment. Rev.

Dr. Van Dykfi Mr. Moderator, how can 3'ou on tortain a motion to discharge the committeo, when only a ow niomouts ago its chairman reported progress 7 The Modorator The Moderator docides that tho Presbytery haB a perfect right to discharge its committor if It so desires. The question comes ou the amendment to the motion, which is to tho efTect that the committeo be dischargod. A vota waa taken and the Modorator was unable to decide.

Rov. Dr. Yan Dyke I call for the ayes and nays. The clerk was proceeding to call the roll when a member called for tho question. The Modorator stated tho quofltion.

Rev. Dr. Van Dyko I desire to say that I shall consider the ad option of this motion aa THE MOST HIGH HANDED OUTRAGE ever heard of in an ecclesiastical convention. At a former meeting the Presbytery voted that there was a "common famo." This was done by a two thirds majority. You have charged Dr.

Talmage with processes that bring religion into contempt. You appointed a committee to investigate tho nature and extent of tno "common famo." This committeo reports that it is making progress, and desires further instruction, and now, pending this, a motion la made to discharge it. I shall consider the adoption of this motion the most high handed outrage ever practiced in an ecclesiastical body. And now, gentlemen, I give you fair notico, that if any Buch action is taken, I sliail take an appeal to a higher court than ia this Presbytery. Mr.

Freeman delegate from the Tabernacle) It strikes mo, Mr. Moderator, that any course of action but the discharge of this committeo is as higli handed an outrage as any ccclosiaBttcal body ever attempted. These wholo proceedings nnn loginning to end have been so unfair that I feel degraded by them. The Moderator (Interrupting and rapping on a Bible) The Moderator suggests that such expressions are hardly in order. Rev.

Dr. Van Dyke My expressions were used hypc thetically. Mr. Freeman (interrupting) Yes, Mr. Moderator, but what is the reason why thiB committee should not bo dischargod? It was appointed two weeks ago to day with directions given so plainly that a man could not possibly mistake them.

The business of the committee was to investigate, what? Not tho character of.Dr. Talmage; nothing concerning Dr. Talmago's church, but the nature aud extent of the "common famo" that had been referred to. The committee have had two weoks to prosecute their investigation and now they come back to tho Presbytery and ask for directions. This much is certain, that if there is so little of the "common fame" that the committee cannot find enough of it to report to this meeting, as It was directed to, I think tho Presbytery would bo perfectly Justified in discharging tho committeo.

If there is any "common fame" it is evident that tho committee cannot find It. Why, Mr. Moderator, the committee has, for two weeks, been drilling at Dr. Talmago's character, and yet The Moderator (interrupting) There will bo no impugning of motive allowed. Mr.

Freeman Where havo I impugned The committee have been searching for over two weeks after this matter, and dow they say that thoy have nothing to report. There is Rev. Arthur Crosby I object. The gentleman must conhno himself to the question. Mr.

Freeman (continuing) Dr. one week ago announced to tho members of this Presbytery that he was going away. He stated that his business was of great importance, and asked that tho charges against him should be speedily disposed of. Tho PrcBbytery then adjourned and gave the committee until to day to present ita facts. Now we Hud the conuuittce saying that it doea not exactly understand the resolution, which the Chairman of the committee himself drew.

Rev. Mr. Crosby I did not say that. Mr. Freeman (continuing and paying no attention) He sayB that he doesn't understand his own writing Rev.

MrXlroaby Mr. Moderator, I call tho gentleman to order. Tho Modorator I do not understand the point of order. Mr. Freeman 2o more do I.

Laughter. Rev. Mr. Crosby Tho gentleman says that I came hero and said that I could not understand the resolution which I drow. Did I say this The Moderator I am sure I don't remember.

Suppose tho report of the committee ia again read. The stated clerk again read the report. Mr. Freeman I repeat that it la indeed A VERY POOB EXCUSE FOB THE COMMITTEE to come hero and say that It does not understand tho meaning of the resolution. The committeo has failed In the duties that were required of it.

It is its duty at this time, and without furtnor delay, to tell the Presbytery what ia tho nature and oxtent of this "common fame." Rav. Charles Wood I beg leave to. nay a few words, which are to the effect that I made the motion entirely undor my own convictions and without having conversed with any single member of this Presbytery. In my own mind I am profoundly convinced that the best interests of this Presbytery and the best interests of the church at large will bo subserved by passing this motion. That waa why I offered it.

Rev. Benjamin F. Millard Dr. Van Dyko haa said that he would consider tho discharge of this committee to be a very high handed proceeding. What is tho nature of the motion If it is an outrage, Mr.

Moderator, for that committee to report the facta to this Presbytery, It is equally as great an outrage tor this PTesbytory to instruct the committee to do so. The committee waa Instructed to investigate the nature and extcut of the "common famo," and report to the Presbytery what if any further action should bo taken. I believe I am correct In using these words. We did not give the coLamittee any power to institute charges, but it waa ordered to report whether or not, In lta opinion, charges ought to be made. For my part.

I apprehend that tho cornrnittee should havo no authority to formulate charges. Rev. Dr. Van Dyke That Is the very point the committee aaka the Presbytery to instruct it upon. Tha committeo has done Borne of ita work an'd now wanta further instructions, and a motion to dischargo it at this time is the most outrageous, high handed proceeding I over heard of.

Instead of doing anything toward vindicating Dr. Talxnago the motion would bquelch the whole proceedings. By adopting the motion, the Presbytery will have failed to throw, over Dr. Talmago the shield of its protection, and if he is guilty, it will have failed to censure him. Rov.

Archibald McCullagh (Boss street Church) Lot us give tho cornmittse tha Instruction it seeks, and In a reasonable time, aay half an hour or an hour, It can return and make its report. I ask if it would injure the plans of the committee If it was to proceed with ita report at this meeting I certainly am very much opposed to tho present report of the committee, yot I am amazed to see Dr. Tannage's elder it, because it looks as if ha wanta to evade tho issues of the case. Rev. David Wells If Brothor Millard had been a member of our committee, working arduously and losing his sleep at nights, ho would know that there woro many difflcultiea that had to bo encountered.

I claim to ba vo A MODERATE SHARE OP COMMON SENSE, and permit me t.i say that whatever this Preabylciy may do, I don't believe that our committee can bo made to movo faster than it haa been doing. Our suggestion ot delay until next Monday ia not made with tho intention of endeavoring to got out of the matter. We cannot be ready to report in half an hour, one hour, two hours or three hours. If tho Presbytery 'should order us to prosont specifications this afternoon, I for ono would not bo able to do bo. Dr.

Talmage I havo no Interest lr. tho motion" Tenanted except so far as they effect my engagements next week. I have told tho committee aud tho presbytery that on uoxt Monday morning it was my intention to leave this city for the Wost. and that I would bo gone eight or ton days. My ougagemonts are with tho publio aud I cannot bo excused from them.

If the Preabj ttry takes any important action in thia caH) I ought to be present. In other words, if you are to have a coroner's jury' It la necessary you should have tho corp. I hope, however, that nothing will bo dons to Interfere with my going away. While I do not make any motion, It fiecins to mo that this matter might bo postponed until Wednesday VMtiiHjl Ut jkf cjlcQ will hYH i UtfW TtTSTANTED A GOOD LAUNDRESS wnu If will assist with chamborwork and waiting.

LfsffiKiHT the enjoyment of such pioasant vagaries as comported with hiB own mild and amiable disposition. After the lost attack of tho "jams" Old Bummer Smith is cruelly cut off hy tho knife of a Mexican assassin and limitless opportunities of amnsomout aro thereby sacrificed, sinco the BorlouB work of tho play begins, and tho hero runs several vory narrow chances of being lynched, which considering the oxcellonce of his character and the perfidy, clumsiness, and impudence of tho roal assassin, would have been calamitous in the extreme. The story, however, of "M'liss," is, or ought to bo familiar to our readers, none of whom, we take It, havo failed to enjoy the contributions to literature of bo graceful a humorist and story writer as Bret Carta. Tho place as playod is not without BoriouBinter est, the diversion above referred to constituting but a fraction of its entertainment.

The characters are, on the whole, well drawn and conBiBtent, though not by any means aU strangers. Yuba Bill, either in propria persona or; disguised with an alias, Is to be found in every play or'story of camp life. He 1b tho Parson of tho Danltes," for Instanco, filled to overflowing with crude virtue and exuberant humor, always in tho right and extremely circuitous and tropical in his expression of. opinion. Torres la an old acquaintance, too, a Mexican greaser, full of iniquity and; treacherous as well as tho Mexican greaser of tho play.

Judge McSnagley, however, is a real type from life, whose decisions in important causes have all tho weight of tho Supremo Benoh, so far as their soundness 1b concerned, but their form iB delicately tempered by tho vernacular of tho camp and thereby relieved of dryasdustineBB of an opinion by, say, Chiof Justice Waite. Jf'lias iB unique and pretty. A very young native modesty has not been overlaid by artificial prudery, Bhe awaits an opportunity to inform her schoolmaster that Bho really loves him, and does so in tho most artless manner by finding grievous fault with a supposed rival, and then burying her hoad in her lover's lap. This combination of expressive aotion and dialogue is equally creditablo to author and actress, and is eloquent at onco of tha state of her feeUuga and tho genuineness of feminine modesty before conventionality has tamporod with it. The lTai' of Smith's I'oeket, however, is not destitute of courage or wanting in tho minor accomplishments of civilization.

She delivers her love twice from a Bot of bloodthirsty men, onco by declaring herself her father's murderer, and subsequently by kitting him out of his log prison aud taking his placo though why alio should havo done tho latter remains to this hour a sadly perplexing mystery. Sho can, mor6ovor, Bing a good song and dance a pretty dance to tho entire satisfaction of two audiencos, those of the camp and of tho thoa tre respectively. There aro some inconsistencies in the play, however. For instance, it would be a very difficult taBk for a Moxican greaser; to move a mob to hang a man for murder upon his own unsupported testinion', the chanccB being that tho mob wouid promptly turn upon tho accused aud hong him higher than Ifaman on mere suspicion. Tho play was vory well performed," Miss Mayhew sustaining tho artlosB ness and naivete of the waif with considerable skill, Mr.

Edeson creating groat amusment by his personation of tho Judge, Mr. Edmonds' laughing with great good humor and volubility, Miss Tanner looking exceeding pretty and Mr. Coopor, as Old Bummer Snu'tA, exhibiting a distrust of Bnakca and jack rabbits in modern bonnets most delightfully natural, The piece is very prettily mountod. Tho first act Bet is exceedingly orodltahlo to both stage carpenter and scenic artist, and with good mounting and capital acting, "M'liss" is very entertaining. Miss Ada Cavondish, in "Jane Shore" and tho "New Magdalen," is underlined for noxt wook.

Court Square 'i'Ucatrc The "Pinafore" with Mr. Laurent as Ralph Itackitraw, supported by. an excellent company, with Max Maretzek as leador, will be given at tho Court Square Theatro this evening. It is oxpoctod to be a capital performance. I.

O. O. F. A Pleasant Evening In the Rooms of tlie Atlantic toHge. There was a large gathering of Odd Fellows last evening at the rooms of Atlantic Lodge No.

50, at No. 442 Fulton street, tho occasion being an entertainment given under tho auBpiceB of tho latter to members of the Order. As usual with this fine lodge, the affair proved most enjoyable and passed off in a successful manner. In tho absence of Mr. Lanaon Boyer, Chairman of the Eutertainmont Committee, tho chair was occupied by Mr.

David S. Brower. The firBt exerciso on tho programme was a lecture by Dr. H. G.

Firth on tho subject of "Life and its Manifestations," and the manner in which it waa treated proved most Interesting and instructive. The wonders of the vegetable and animal kingdoms passed under brief but rapid loviow, and eomo of the materialistic opiulonB of the day were com batted and severely rebuked. At the close of tho lecture the Atlantic Quartet Club, consisting of Messrs. Bretelle, Munger, McEwan and McGuire, sang several flue selections in their characteristically brilliant manner. Two visiting brothers, Mr.

S. H. Henderson and Mr. Briggs, made brief addresses, touching the origin and aims of Odd Fellowship. The former eulogized the Order, as being productive of the highest type of manhood, and spoke with authority, having been a member for over thirty yeara.

Tho exercises wore brought to a close with the singing of "Tho Old Soxton" by Brother Georgo W. Parker. A public ontertainment will be given by the lodge next month. SPORTS AND PASTIMES. Skating'.

The Skating Match To night. The contest in fancy flguro skating, which was to have taken placo at tho Manhattan Kink a week ago, is to come off to night, the ice being in good condition, and quite a number of expert skaters are to enter the liBt, Buch as Messrs. Story, Bedford, Mitchell and Lyon. Tho programme of tho Skating Congress will bo gone through with. The Manhattan Rink is three blocks from the Fifty Bevouth Btreet depot of the Metropolitan Elevated Road.

Sport at the Capitoline. The snow will be cleared from the CapitolincLake to day, and to night skating will be resumed there. Should there bo Bkating ou Saturday, thore will bo a gala time at the lake on Washington's birthday, skating raceB and games taking place on that afternoon. Toe Ball Matches Stopped. The snowstorm, has put a veto on the base ball matches on tho ico at the Park, which have been postponed until the lake hae been cleared of snow by rain.

Cricket. Death of a Tetekan. Old Mr. Neeves, the veteran President of the Manhattan Club, was buried yesterday in Woodlawn Cemetery. He died suddenly of apoplexy on the 13th In his 7fith year.

His funeral was attended by the members of the club, and a large gathering of friends were present. He was a very worthy gentleman aud was highly esteemed in cricket circles in the metropolis. The last match he played in was in 1877. Chess. Games with Living Pieces.

Several matches at chess have recently been played at Pittsburg and other cities, on occasions of public fairs, in which tho chessboard haa been laid down on the floor of the hall, and the thirty two pieces of chess men have boen represented by boys, girls and adults. On one Bide havo been eight girlB dressed iu whito, representing the pawns, the opposite eight being boyB droBBed in black. Older lioya and girls havo represented the rooks, knights and bishops, and gentlemen and ladies the kings and queens. Why is not a game of thia kind arranged by some of our city church fair managers? Last night a game of this kind was a feature of tie Loan Exhibition entertainment at Pittsburg, tho pieces being living per boub, all belonging to tho beat fainlUes in the oity. The game was played in the presence of about 6,000 spectators, in Library Hall, and tht gentlemen whohad charge of the rival sides played with great skill.

The dressing nf nier ns wan of the most elaborate character. The chessboard was laid out on a stage, and was thirty two feet Bqnoro, each square being two feet In diameter. The affair was highly successful. The Tuot'BiES and Discomforts arising from dry and impure air aro entirely overcome by tha use of an Am MorsTENER, or Evapobator devised and patented by J. W.

Pannonter. This invention is of tho greatest valuo and utility. It makes heated air moist, agreeable and healthful, destroys the gas and clears the dust from the air coming from tho register. It is especially beneficial in the sick room, and as a preventive of soro throat, catarrh, influenza, pneumonia and all luruj troubles. Tho MoiflTENEB consists of a series of shallow pans, uiving water surface varying from seven hundred to twenty eight hundred inches, in convenient form to apply readily to stove, register or heator pipes.

It sells from $3 to Slu, and will do the work promised. An EVAP0HAT0B may bo seen iD constant use at the Fulton st. storo of Baldwin, the clothier. G. Ames 60 Joralomon st, aro tho Brooklyn agents.

Chapter third, section fifth of oyj; Book of Dis cipline prescribes wuat euan oe sumciout Kruuuua io constitute a judicial trial. Tho book says: "The rumor of common fame must specify some particular scene or Incident, and the fame must bo general aud widespread." Do wo find that tho "common fame" of Dr. Talmago fulfills those conditions? There ie no jerson in thiB Presbytery, I think, who .11 vote either to acquit or censure this man without a judicial lnvestiga tian.

We must hear his defense and hear his answers to our questions. Thero is now only ouo thing that tho commiltee cau do, and that is to reeommeud a judicial trial. How can the committee report the facts unless it also reports the men who know tho farts? In conclusion, Mr. Modorator, I offer tho following "That tho committeo be instructed, if they find that tho common fame against Dr. Talmago fulfills all the conditions of the requirements of the Hook of Discipline (chapter 3, section 5), they shall FORMULATE SUCH COMMON FAME INTO A CHARGE with specifications of tho names of witnesses to support it.

and submit tho same to this Presbytery." The committee ought to tell us who are. supposed to know the farts. If wo mean to maintain the honor of this Presbytery aud the honor of our ordination vows beforo the Lord, we should givo to every man a fair aud impartial trial. Applanso. A second reading of Dr.

Van Dyko'a resolution was called fr. llev. Samuel T. Spear Until the facts to bo brought before this body are reached, 1 am not prepared to vote for the institution of any judicial pr.svss. Kov.

Dr. Van Dyko In what way cau we ascertain the facts of the caw; except by a judicial process Rov. Mr. Spear This Is not a judicial committee. Itis a committee appointed by this presbytery in the exorcise of its supervisory powers.

It is a committee appointed by the members of this Presbytery for the purpose of unking a preliminary inquiry as to a possible state of facts. The committee was not directed to spread beforo tliis body all the facts, and thu mass of reasons supposed to bo necessary to enlighten us. As the matter now stands, as it stands In the dght of public famo, tho committee has uo ground for any such action. Rev. Charles Wood I hope that those words will sink down In tho hearts of all members of this Presbytery.

We are proceeding on dangerous grounds. If I were a meuilier of a committee vestod with any such authority iu less than six months I oould drive any Brooklyn minister out of his pulpit. Common fame exists everywhere roHpecting every minister of tho Lord Jesus Christ who preaches the (lospel. I am opposed to the resolution. Applause.

Tho Moderator No manifestations of approval or disapproval aro permitted in the Presbytery. Rev. Benjamin F. Millard My objection to the resolution is, that if passed the committee would be vested with too much authority. It never was tho Intention ot this body to lodge auy such powor with tho committee.

It ifl a gravo thing to put a member of this Presbytery on trial, and to the minds of the great body of the community, who never investigate tho facts, it Is a stigma on Dr. Talmage that he has boon arraigned at all. The committee's asking ub to instruct them, so that their actions may eomo undor the mantle of the Presbytory, is a power which ought not to bc asked. The committeo was appointed for tie purpose of convincing us as to whether or not there was a prima arte easo. The committee had lietter now determine whether or not it will enter upon a process which will, in my opinion, end in smoke at last.

Rev. Charles Wood I hold in my hand a letter signed by a member of this presbytery charging Brother Talmage with a 'number of things constituting "common fame." Now, if any man haa a chargo to make against Brother Talmage let him come forward aud do it HONESTLY AND SQUAB ELY. Applause. Rev. T.

Spear When the Presbytery took ita first action in this caso it affirmed that there was a "couiinou fume" and that thore was a "common fame" of a specific nature. Dr. Talmage was charged with act that would render hiiu llablo to discipline. The Presbytery assumed that there was a "common fame," and then it sont out a committeo to inquire whether there was or not. This committee wants to know whether or not it was expected to formulate specific charges against Dr.

Talmago. I cannot think that the Presbytery contemplated auy such function un the part of its committeo. I must say that, In my judgment, tho Presbytery moved a great deal too fast In taking its first steps in this matter. In form this body did what in point of fact it did not intend to do. The proper course for us to pursue now is to answer the question of this committee.

Wheu the committee makes its report to this body, tlion, and not until then, will lie tho timo to determine whether or imt wo should proceed further with tho case. Wheu we como to formulate charges wo will appoint r. distinct committee for that service. Thero is no private accuser. The only accuser is public fame, and what constitute public fame When the light comes ill be tho time to determine tho question as to a Judicial process.

On the other hand, if we institute a judicial trial at this timo. It will bo very' perilous and very unjust. Now I BUggcst that all you need to do to day is to answer the question of tho committeo. The committee reports progress. It is in doubt as to whether or not it is expected to formulate specific charges for the purpose of trial.

I say that the answer to that question is no, uo, no, no, a thousand times no, on constitutional grouuds. Rev. Dr. Vau Dvke I regret that there fecms to bo a necessity a necessity in the creation of wlilrh I have had uo responsibility to delay thci proceedings on every point in which we hud A CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTION. I suppose that what Dr.

Talmage wanU is a speedy settlement of this question, aj to whether or not the Presbytery believes him guilty of that with which tho Presbytery haa charged him. It is inconceivable to my mind how wo can decido the queetlou unless we have witnesses. A member Then we must try it. Rev. Dr.

Van Dyko Certainly, wo must. Dr. Spear asks what is the common fame 7" Why gentleman, that is just what we want to know. What facte are thero to sustain the charge of "common fame?" Why.it will be answered, that Dr. Talmago said such aud such a thing and committed such and Buch an action.

Who testifies to these facts Witnesses. Where are the witnesses Lot them be produced and by their state meutaaud jharaeter we can Judge whether or not we ought to proceed lurther with the caso. The report of the committee simply gives us the ground of judgment as to whether we will try the caw. If tbo committee reports to ub the names of men who aro notorious liars, we know how to form our opinionB. Wo ought not to hear any loose talk in the matter.

Tho Presbytery' ought to review tho whole case aud decide whether or not it should bo pushed forward. Rev. Benjamin Drake If tho committee should make charges against me. 1 would certainly not jrmit tho Presbytery' to refuse to try the case, and I certainly do not think that the Presbytery' will allow a charge to bo made unless it oontains proper food for investigation Rev. Lyman Gilbert If this committeo Bays that it does not find a sufficient amount of "common fame" to warrant the presenting of their report in full, this Presbytery is capable of deciding whether, at the present time, there is ground Ior action.

Let us try to be reasonable In thia matter aud uot anticipate the future. If you say that the committee should not formulate chorgea, then let it bring in its report of tho material it has already obtained. We have Dr. Talmago's character and Interests at stake as well as onr own honor. Rev.

Isaac Davison I merely desire to call attention to one point which seems to have been overlooked. The resolution requires tho committee to formulate charges providing the rumors are, In its Judgment, warranted by the Book of Discipline. Cannot we find that some of theae charges against Dr. Tannage date back for four or five years? Are all occurrences during this poriod to be allowed to come up I believe that In lb Book of Discipline there is a restriction aa to limitation of time. Tho Moderator read a passage from tha Book of Discipline, stating that actions charged in "common fame" must not date back further than ono year.

Rev. Mr. Spear Wheu the committee havo given mi the beBt information they can obtain, wo will I In a proper position to decide whether the information submitted constitutes a basis for judicial action. My objection to tho resolution of Dr. Van Dyke ia that it commits to the judgment of the committee the decision of tho question whether formulated or specific charges shall be spread on the table.

Any information spread on this table is spread liefore the community aud before the world. I hold that the Presbytery ought to take no such step. If the committee recommends a judicial trial, tha Presbytery will be In a position to take the first steps toward specific charges. You had better delay your action. Rev.

Lewis R. Foots (Throop avenue Church) It seems to me that. In making lta report, if the committeo makes a charge It must also tell us why it makes the charge. I can seo very little difference between the proposition of Mr. Spear and that of Dr.

Van Dyke. The latter gentleman wants the report In a more formulated manner. Rev. Archibald McCnllagh Dr. Van Dyke's plan is the aimplost and most direct, and ultimately it will Injure nobody.

Rev. Mr. Spear I call for tha reading of the request of tne i ommlttee. The request was again read. Rev.

Adam McClelland I feel somewhat personally Interested in the remarks that have been made In reforenoo to our committeo concerning lta delays. I ask whether or uot, aa shown by the debate cf this after noon, tho committee has not been JUSTIFIED IN ELATING ITU PBOCEKDINQB Certainly two of tho ablest men in our Presbytery have taken opposite views. Now if a single point in our request demanded such careful examination, are we to bo blamed because wo proceeded carefully and quietly in tho matter; I feel the gravity oi our situafiou. Tho position of Dr. Talmage is such that we should proceed to investigate tho matter with great ca I tldnk, sir, that onr committeo has been improjicrly criticised.

If tho gentlemen here knew tho facts iu tho cae, I am colaln that they would not blame us for our caro. The Moilerator Are yott ready to voto on tho resolution offered by Rev. Dr. Van Dyko? Tho retiolutlon waa carried by tho following vole; Amruiotivc Rev. W.
