More evidence of the short cot

many of the public gins in the
country about. Codington are clos¬

OR. BRADLEY EXONERATED.
v Chages »■ Against Dr. Bradley.
Rev. II. S. Bradley, D. D pas¬
,
tor of Trinity church, has had a
trial before a committee of investi¬
gation as to whether he should be
regularly arruighed on the charge
of heresy, and the committee has
returned a verdict stating that in
their opinion such a trial is not
justified.
I his throws the wh ile matter
info the annua! North Georgia
Method is b conference, which is to
meet at Ne\ynau, Ga., on the 22d
of this month, at which place and
tune Rev. J, N. Snow', who has
preferred the charges against j
l)i\ Bradley', will ask conference;
to give hint a new committee of
investigation, as he declares the
evidence before the committee
was sufficient to justify a tiial for
heresy.
ihe main feature of the charge
appears to be on the graund of Dr.
Bradley’s views on the death of
Christ. It is claimed by Dr. Snow'
that Dr. Bradley preaches and af¬
firms that the death of Christ was
not necessary to the reconciliation
of God to man. Dr. Snow says
that five witnesses testified to the
truth of this charge and that Dr.
Bradlv admitted it.
Enormous Total of Salaries.
No one will claim that it re¬
quires more (Ability to fill the office
of President of an insurance com¬
pany than that of President of the
United States, but when it conics
to salaries the McCalls and Mc
Curdys overtop the President cf

The New York World makes this
comparison: t t Daring the 116
years of the Republic the Govern¬
ment of the United States has
paid in salaries to its Presidents a
total of $6,700,000. During the
last twenty years the Mutual Life
Insurance Company has paid to
three niembeas of the McCurdy
family about $4,600,000. Against
twenty ye ns of Richard A. Mc¬
Curdy, Robert II. McCurdy and
