the heat OF the battle that is sure to fol.
low on the Waxahachie meeting proposes

guarantee that he would be an acceptable
solution Of the congressional problem.
Judge Beckham is now making can
vass of the district, aud he will not fail
to impress his worthiness of
the high honor upon all who hear
him, and THE GAZETTE is proud
to say of it's iellow.citizen that
as he talks so he viii act, and that the In.
terests of the district would be as safe in
the hands of Judge Beckham as in those
of any man.
When the lock comes at waxahachie
as now appears to be inevitable, Tarrant
asks investigation Of its candidate as the
settlement of the contest, and feels con-
fident that the more Judge Beckham is
Investigated the more willAt minds of
men turn to him as fitting representa-
tive, and as a man to happily end the trl-
partite struggle.

The General Onacers, x. Of L., Take the
Pledge for Two Years.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1s.-At the knights
of Labor convention Tuesday, Mr.. Powderiy
urged the Importance of temperance and
asked the members to impress this subject en-
the various local assemblies He called at
tention to the fact that not one OF the gen.
eral officers cleo ted at this general assembly
used intoxicating liquors Each of the gen.
eral officers then formally pledged himself tc
total abstinence from intoxicating liquors
during his two years term of Office.
A resolution declaring that the organiza-
ton recognizes no distinction on account OF
color, but has no purpose to interfere with or
disrupt the local relations which may exist
between the different races in various por
tons of the country, was unanimously
adopted. ~EE S
Fire was discovered shortly before 10
o'clock Friday night on he main floor Of the
Armory hall, where the general assembly of
the Knights of Labor sits. 1t had already
made its way between the beams below the
flooring, and the fremen had difficulty in
getting at it. The damage was about
10000
Delegate Deweys scheme to establish
grand central labor organ was laid on the
table Saturday morning. The most serious
objection to it was that it would create
monopoly, since its support would be COM
pulsory, and there are already In existence
number of labor newspapers which depend
upon their merits for support The report of
the committee on revision of the laws was
then taken up, and the remainder of the
morning session given to it.
Mr.. Powderly was illin the forenoon and did
not attend the convention. Grand Worthy

NO CHANGE OF NAME.
THE MOTION REJECTED BY THE
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

Mr.. Judd's Speech in Favor of Changing
tho Name of the Episcopal Church
Work in the Congregational Conven-
tion-Am endments to the Constitution
The Church In Utah.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S-The debate upon the
change of name of the Protestant Episcopal
church was resumed in the convention Sat
urday morning. Dr. Strinsfellow supported
Mr.. Judd's resolution. DR.. Davies, of Penn
sylyania, thought the change inexpedient.
DIR. Stoddard opposed the resolution, but
hoped for gradual change Mr.. Connell
followed in the same line Judge Sheffey, of
Virginia. made strong speech against the
change. Mr. Judd addressed the house %
follows:
The name is confusing and misleading. 1t
is not o2ly that, it is all untruth and am
int1eNIbiy opposed to it. 1t MAINTAINS that
this churcn is organized for the purpose OF
protesting against error either III Rome or
dissent. We believe i'll the Episcopal, but we
also believe i'll the communion OF saints.
That name Is just as appropriate. We be-
heve in one baptism for the remission of sins,
but we do not take the name of the Baptlsts.
The name is misleading. Where do we find
such name prior to 100 years
ago. How can you blame people for
SuppoSing II to be a mere modern sect de
sire TO protest against the argumentum ad
hOminem of building up card-houses and
knocking them down. Most of the argu-
ments hay been directed against the name
American Catholic. That is not my rssolu-
ton. 1t is to have the words Protestant
Episcopal expunged; not now, but some
time in the near future. 1t would take at
least six years The delegate from Virginia
said that time had hallowed the name, but,
sir, age does not sanction error, nor does 100
years sanction anything. 1t did not sanction
the errors of Rome. By changing the name
do we become less opposed to the errors of
Romes Does the clerical deputy from Vir-
ginia love the church! Does he love the
name of the church and its belief 1t is be-
cause love her that l would expunge the
stain that rests on her fair name We are
told that it is presumption to assume that we
are the Catholic church. If the name is as
sumed, which is begging the question, what
will it imply! If it is presumption to say so
in the name, why is it not presumption tosay
before Almighty God in every occasion OF
public worship that we believe in the holy
Catholic church
The vote was as follows clerical represent
alive of forty-nine dioceses and lay represen-
tatives Of fourty-four dioceses voting: Cleric
ais, Il yeas, - nays, 10 divided; laymen, IL
yeas, % nays, divided-the resolution being
rejected by Is to 81. .....--s

A Peculiar Case of Eczema.

An Elmira. n. Y, correspondent
writes: A very peculiar case came to the
notice of the people of Penn Yam some
time ago. and its progress has been
watched by the medical profession with
respected citizen of the village, sudden
ly became afflicted with 4 singular dis
ease. The first symptom was a peculiar
itching of the skin over the entire body.
This continued for several months, and
the torture he endured was indescrib-
able. During this time the skin was
gradually thickened. The color was a
1urid red and burning sensation per-
vaded the entire body. Many physi-
clans were consulted, none of whom
were able to diagnose the disease or af-
ford any relief to the sufferer. After a
time the skin became thick and leath-
cry, perfectly dry, and covered with
scales. Whenever the body was brush
ed white scales would fall in showers.
After the skin had thickened and be-
come perfectly parched and dry it began
to form in folds. Every part of the sur
face of the body was thus affected. The
face presented terrible appearance.
The eyes were nearly closed from the
excessive thickness of the eyelids, which
lay in thick folds. The skin over the
entire surface of the body seemed to be
growing thicker and harsher during this
time. Mr.. Danes suffered untold agon-
les, and was told that his case was hope
less, and his time to live was short.
He had lost all faith in medicines, and
was anxious to have death relieve him
of his suffering. At the meeting of the
State Homeopathic society at Grove
Spring last fall he was examined by the
leading physicians of the state, and. so
rare is the disease that few OF them ever
witnessed or heard of similar case.
Two Of them pronounced it well-de-
fined case of universal eczema, and MIR.
Danes at once placed himself under
their treatment. For long time no
change was apparent. The scales that
fell from his body increased, and hum
dfeds of people who had heard of the
strange case came to see him. His skin
presented very much the appearance of
an elephants hide. His nights were
spent in bathing and rubbing his body,
and he had become nearly insane from
long suffering and want of sleep. About
SIX months ago he began to improve
slowly. The shower of scales lessened,
the thickening Of the skin was arrested,
and the deep and painful folds began
to disappear. Although not yet well he
is comparatively comfortable, and is
thought to be in fair way to recovery.
