A QUESTION OF COLOR
rHB BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN PRES
BYTBRIANS NORTH AND SOUTH.
The Louisville PrssbytTy Adopts a Judgemsut
Opposing Organic Union as Ins1pedisnt-
They Want Separate Church Organ
iZations for the Races.

LosIsvILLE, KY, April 27.-The Pres
bytery of Louisville has adopted the follow
ing concerning the union of the Northern
and Southern churches, in reference to the
question ofunion between the Presbyterian
Churches in the United States of America.
commonly designated as the Northern and
Southern Presbyterian Churches, the Pres.
bytery of Louisville, now in session, ex-
press the following judgment, viz:
"Until our northern brethren can see
their wsy clear to adopt the policy of or
ganizing the colored people of the northern
States into separate churches, Pfesbyteries
and Synods of their own, and until there
shall be clearer and fuller understand
ing brought to bear upon the minds of
many of our people in reference to their
Interpretation and application Of those
points of our common ecclesiastical that
now deal with secular and political ques-
tions, we Judge that the quiet,
peace and prosperity Of both
churches will be best secured by
ceasipg to agitate or prosecute the question
of organic union at least for the present.
We have reached this judgment from opin-
ions expressed among ourselves, as we'll as
opinions and judgments that come to rs
through various sources, from different
parts of our southern country. Whatever,
therefore, may be the individual views,
feelings and desires of some of the men,
bers of this Presbytery, in regard to the
great question Of organic union, yet for
the sake of harmony and to await the un-
folding of Gods provisions ID the future,
we do all now join in the above expressed
judgement.
"Aud, while expressing ourselves thus,
we at the same time affirm that we cherish
toward our Northern brethren the most
kind and fraternal feelings. We admire
their learning and ability, acknowledge
their piety, zSal and enterprise in preach
ing and extending the spread Of the tri-
umphs Of the Gospel; commend their in
terest in and their labors for the intellect
ual and spiritual advancement of Southern
colored people; believe they are of like
faith and order with ourselves, and do
therefore most heartily rejoice in their
growing power and prosperity.
"Their standards of doctrine and church
order are our standards, whatever differ.
ences of views may obtain between them
and us in reference to the exact lnterpre-
tation of O few of the points contained in
these. Hence their success everywhere is,
in part at least, our success. We are one
in true scriptural sense, even in the alb
sence of visable or accomplished organic

An EIopsment That Has Caused Stir In
Two Ohio Towns.
PARKERsBURa, w. VA, April 27.--An
elopement in high social circles took place
at Hsrmar, twelve miles from here, early
yesterday.
The parties to it were Charles Smith, son
of DR.. G. H. Smith, prominent ply ysician,
and Miss Jennie Pugh, the seventeen
year-old daughter of David Pugh, of Har-
mar. The yourg man is about 19 years
old, is in the sophomore class at Marietta
College and Glands at the head.
The young couple have for some time
wanted to wed, but parental opposition
prevented the union. An elopement was
arranged several weeks ago, but it was
spoiled because the fact became known to
the girls parents. Mutual friends, how
ever, came to their assistance and early
yesterday morning the young couple met
at the river bank. A friend with skiff
rowed them across the Ohio river, where
they took the train on the Ohio River road.
LAST night dispatch was received by
Mr.. Pugb, saying: ''We are married.
Can we come homer" 1t was too late 10
raise further objection and 50 the welcome
invitation to return was sent. The young
lady is the belle of the town and great
favorite.

TROUBLE EXPECTED.

The Gloomy Outlook al Braddock-Ad-
diyIonal Police Force.
PITEGURG, April 27-There were pre-
m0nitiOns Of trouble all day at Braddock.
The men are becoming moody and little
prOvOcation would be necessary to provoke
an outbreak. The report that two hundred
men would arrive from the LOchiel works
created intense excitement.
This morning three nou.uniOn men were
met by body of strikers a short distance
from the works and were stopped. Two
P'nkertOn men who have been ordered on
duty IN this vicinity, saw the proceeding
and hurried to the ground. The workmen
we've taken in charge by them, but not
until they had heard the warning ''you
are marked men," Seventeen new en-
glneers arrived in BraddOck this morning
TO take the places CT the striking engineers

agned from the Pennsylvania railroad.
This aroused the ire Of the striking en-
glneeIs and brakemeu, and they say

Weekly Trade Review.

NEW YORK, April 27.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade say: The
situation is unusually confused, advancing
markets for stocks and for grain contradict
each other. The Western reports as tc
probable crops are more definitely unfa
vorable.
1t becomes more clear that the prevail
ing tendency of prices and Of wages il
toward a lower level, though actual or
apprehended scarcity of farm products
affects prices in some speculative markets.
The business failures during the last
seven days number-for the United States,
1913; for Canada, 30; total of 223, as
compared with 1876 last week.

Great Success.

Her Initial Performance, Last Evening. .
Great Success.
Minnie Palmer's engagement ct the
Opera House was opened in most auspi.
cious manner last evening. The audience
was large and brilliant one, and was
thoroughly en- rapport with the little lady.
From the moment Of her fst appearance
upon the stage, she had their rapt and
appreciative attention, and the enthusiasm
even during the first act was such as to
demand her appearance before the curtain
at its conclusion, where she was received
in the most cordial manner.
Miss Palmer was at her best last even
ing. Although the roles of bootblsck, ca
det and society belle are 80 widely diver
gent as to make it seemingly impossible
for one person to take them all in proper
and satisfactory manner. yet Miss Palmer
had not the slightest difficulty in perfectly
adapting herself to each, and 40 well did
she succeed that il is difficult to tell in
which of the three she was most charming.
She was followed through her dual imper.
sonations of the brother and sister with
the closest attention, and her sopgs and
dancing were invariably met with de-
msnd for more on the part Of the audi-
ence.
Her support was good throughout. Mr.
McManus did the impoverished French
nObleman to perfection. Miss Carrie Rey-
nolds was not only good but q beautiful
miss Geraldine Previous" while Miss
Buchanan as "Mrs. Livingston" was an
ideal caricature of the psrvenue element
in Society" Mr.. Clarke was very hap
py in his role Of "Waldcoffer Grosserby, {"
as was also Mr.. Hendricks as "Richard
Livingston"
The play already been sufficiently de-
scribed in these columns. 1t is emiDently
adapted to Miss Palmer, and is fitting
companion piece for her, and the public's,
favorite, "My Sweetheart" my Broth
er's Sister," will be repeated at the mat
inee to-day, and my Sweetheart" will
be given this evening This last named
performance will be the last Miss Palmer
will give in America for the ensuing five
years, as she proceeds st once to New York
from Wheeling, and will sail early the
coming week for EDgland.
The audiences to-day will no doubt b6
duplicates of that of last evening.

''torn out" by two cities which put them

there is one system Of filtration that has

which risks nothing on experiment, in

results.
That is to say, the owners Of the system
agree to take any water works as they find
them and do everything necessary 10 pro
