disrusiitm. The, iiue-ilion that tccius to
perplex most of the divines Approached
bv a Tln.eH njuu.yeerday is whether the
Intentions of Dr. Farrar involve sarriiire
or belfishness.
Dr. Farrar was formerly pastor jf the
Fourth United Fresbyt.viau Church of

where he has built a nous and wilipre.K'h
to the county folk there.
l)i. Alexander Kent, of'thib city, dis
cussiujj the ease-.A:ikl that the question is
one involving many phases, ,1c did not
desire Ui express himself oh tl,c matter
very fully until he had t-onsidereditJ miny
parts. He did-soy however:
"I have no sjinpatliy with theidea that
we will 'et u 'reward' in litaven. What
we are there is what we are when we
leave heie Tijo theory of reward de
bcrve nosjmpathy. Virtue is its awn re
ward. In the keeping or the (.ommand
nicuts is the reward as well as the being
and the doingr "
'l think it would be a very desirable
position to have an income and be inde
pendent yf the congregation. I would like
to have such an income, but at the sa ne
time I thMik at would be, in a tenbe, a
very bad thing for the gospel to be given
to the c-oi.grcgjtion for nothing. It wjjld
demoralise people to give them good for
nothing If -it iniin can influence his con
gregation to give money for the help of
othcr he ioul'd do good, but if he leaves
them to expeit lo get a preacl.er free it
would be rrther bail for him.
"Ve appreciate that which we pay
for. "What costs nothing dcinoraliei peo
pie, and also the acceptance of that for
which thej get no equivalent. They get
good fot nothing."
Dr. T. RuemHI Verbrycke, pastor or
Guriey Memorial Church, said that the
subject was ji wide one and required to
ba analyzed; The idea of Dr. Fairar he
thought axiiinmendubleono. Bibhup P jit. ir,
of New York, did a similar thing suv ral
years, agr when l.e spent a wholj vaca
tion visiting the mission houses of the
metropolis. It was uifficnlt to say wh.'tl.er
there v.nt. not a spirit jf selfishness in
3)r. Farrar s plans . He had a prefer uce
Tor tin countryjind Hierofore did not ha.'e
to make much of a tacrifice m leaving

that -a man or mind would, in a sense,
bury himself by going into the country,
but. coi'tlnui.ig, said that he was not al
together decided tliat the country did not

Jury Hud No' Heportttd',, at Mid
night. t l' J(
The jury de lunatic o Itiqutroinlntu in
the case of Mis. Deborah H' .'Carter. T.hd
was icleased from St EllzabutVa Asylum
for the Insane about two week- J'j-o on
a writ of habeas curpus, liadnot r'u.-h:dn
verdict at midnight. "
The result of the cav dependb nearly en
tirely on the testimony of the e-cu-nming
pltyhiaiit, but iu this, as in 'uiiiiy other
cas.-s, the doetors disagree. Doctors Pren
tiss. Kartinugh, Huller, Hickliug, and Em
mons testlileil l,efore the jUfy, and ull
except the last naiii"d, Dr. Emmon.s, were
of the opinion that her condition war
ranted their pronouncing her luvaue.
There wns a differcnce.ot1 opinion, not
only of fact; but al-j as to'tflje time neces
sary in such cises to arrive atn coucluolon
as to whether a persm was 5a'i;or 'nane.
"Dr. Eiuii.ons, who is ,n expert in ucu
matters, testified that he could determine
such u case in two bonis, while "Dr. llick
llng, it is stated, that a physician could
not investigate such cases in bo short a
time- On cros-eamlnutlon, however, ne
said that he decided on Mis. Carter's
sanity afier an examination of less than
a half hour.
All the physicians connected with the
case, except Dr. Emmons, are general prac
titioners in the District, while Dr. Em
mons inal'es a specialty of such caics as
Mrs. Caller's.
It will lie riMnenibered that shortly aiter
Mrs. Carter was released from' St. Eliza

niuli becoming angered, 1s reported as

Hespousihle for Jxn'.ySf. Dentil.
New York, Dec. 21. Senor Tomas Es
trada Pain a, delegate of .the Cuban -e-piibiic,
gave out tonight a statement con
cerning the death of Col. Ruiz, In -which
he says:
"The death of Col. Rul." did not occur
as the Spanish have put It, while ie was
negotiating an a peace messenger under a
flag of truce- Again and again haie tne
Cubans promulgated the law that all vho
should come to them with peace propo
sitions not based on the independence of
Cuba vvtuld tie treaiedas spies and dealt
with accordingly. The bkiudiuf Col. RuU
is not on tW hands of the, Cuban, but
ujion the heads of Blanco and Cong'wto,
who sent him t his fate.
"If the pnnaltyot the lav(- had "not been
carried out doubtless Spaitf-'would have
taken advantage of the fact-to thow that
H12 Cuban" were not in, earnest in their
rejection of autonomy absolutely, but wjre
willing to listen to argum Mits. This de
cree was i.ot promulgated because the
Cubans are afraid of disaffection in their
rankt. but because It Is Jcnown that in
numerable c.immiesioniTs would otherwise
be tent and on their return make fali-e
statements, encouraging tl(e belief that
peace might bo established on a basis other
than independence.
"It is somewhat remarkable that with
the first news or tl.e death of Col. Rurs
came the announcement of the killing by
the Spanish of over forty sick and wound
ed Cubans found in a hospital and not a
voice was raised in protest thereat. Tl.e
Shooting of Cuban prisoners by ttcscrre
pas.icd almost without comment, the thou
sands of wounded Cuban soldiers slain
in hospitals attracts but little nt.ticc, it
Is so com mon.
"The conditions obtaining in Oil a and
the character of t-e Sranish demand, how
ever, trat we take the necessary m as
ures to sji-edily t-imlnatS- the war by
convinclng the world tlat ii:dei.endencs
alone can satisfy us. It is a quest'on
of the lives of one or two rash men or t
the lives of thoauds of patriotic Cutans."
SLAVE MAHRIAGE NOT VALID.
Spiver Goes Free of' tlio Chnrue
of Higtvmy.
Edward Spiver, an agedcolorpd in in,
charged with bigamy, was released yes
terday by Chief Justice Bingham. During
the war Spiver, who Lad been a tlave in
Louisiana, was a Union soldelr, and mar
ried a colored woman who was a camp
follower. After the war th6 Couple eatiu
to the District and lived together for many
years. Recently he married a nother woman
Spiver was represented by Mr. Campbell
Carrington acd MesT. Fqnton and Frisby,
two colored attorne vs. The eiucstion of the
legalitv of tlave marriages was taken up
and alsr that or the date when slaves
actually became free whether under the
emancipation proclamation or not until the
fifteenth amendment.
Mr. Shrlllngton argued that in Louisiana,
which was in actual rebellion, and did not
recognize the emancipation proclamvion
as valid, a colored man was. not actually
free while still in the State.
Teaching Him Something.
(From the Cleveland Plain 'Dealer.
An ex-nevvspnper man who occupies a
building on Erie street had his att?n ion
called to the fact that the big plate glass
window In the front of hisstorercom was
decidedly loose, it wobbled lu its setting
and a finger push made it sway. The pro
prietor of the store called the attention cf
the architect to it. The architect iookjd
at it, pronounced it a thin piece of gl is
nnd claimed it could be tightened I y
changing the strips. But this proved a
failure. So the architect ordered a new
pane. Tht day the men ,vere setting it,
and just aftei they had taken the -jld p ine
down and had it resting against the Co in
ter inside the store, an old friend of lt-e
proprietor strolled in.
"Ah!" he s.-.id, "window smashers, eh."
"No,"' replied the proprietor, "there's
nothing smashed alniut that window "
'But you are putting in a new paae ""
"Yes."
'What' sthe reason?
'Tha same rea-on that prompts yau to
put on thicker t.nderc'olhltig: vvr-u. the
weather grows cold,"
"Bat I d'lti't understand "
"Well, just feel of this pane and then of
that. Do you notice howi much thicker the
new oriels?" , , .
"Then you are putting dn, a new jne
to ' - 1,
"To keep the 'tore waruier."of course,"
said the proprietor. .;. ai-,.
The friend looked from, one, pane to the
otlnr. - -
"Well, by George!" snld he; "every bl "ss-d
daya man learns something new. Do you
kn-jw-1 never thought of a scheme like that?
Blamed if it isn't a good one."
And he walked away with a U.oughtfjl
