tue EPISCOPAL CONVENTION,
A Portion of Committee DenounceS the
ReVise,l Vsrslon Of the Bible,


Revised Version Of the Bible.
New YoRE, Oct, lS,-The event oi
Saturday in the Protestant Episcopal
Convention was the minority report Of
the Committee upon the Revision Of the
Prayer Book. Here are some Of the ar
guments advanced against continuance
Of the work OF revision; n
1t is true that forms may be changed
without change in the substance, but II
Ia equally true that continual change or
agitation for change in the form, cannot
but excite uneasiness, shake the feeling
OF confidence and security with which
devout people rested upon the precious
iormularies OF the prayer book and i'm
pair the unQuestioning loyalty which Is
the very foundation OF the Christian
character. The last and fatal result Of
iamiliRriEing the minds Of our people
with alterations In the prayer book as a
common and easy thing, must inevitably
be to arouse questions about the expires.
siop OF doctrine, either In its devotional
form throughout the book or In the VEN
cradle and sacred symbol Of the faith
itself. Itis probable that nothing which
has occurred in our generatlon-not all
the assaults OF skeptiCal criticism from
without-has so shaken the ancient rev.
erence for the sacred Scriptures in the
minds OF Christians at large as the pub.
liCation Of the revised version Of the
Bible.
II was equally inevitable and was not
unforeseen at the beginning Of the pres
ent movement, that to bring the prayer
book into the. arena OF discussion and
change would have a strong tendency to
produce similar consequences In the at
titude Of mems minds toward the time.
honored forms OF devotion, which are SO
precious part OF our heritage from the
ancient church and foRterlng spirit OF
indifference, would open the door to far
wider departures from Tue old standards
than the promoters OF revision could
ever have contemplated: Such results
are no less probable, whether the de-
fuite proposals for alteration at any
time are generally good or whether they
are bad, II the process be continued
through n series Of years, and new
changes are constantly beinglntroduced.

CHICAGO, Oct, 1S,-When the stars
and stripes were raised at the socialist
mass meeting in Yorwaert's Turner hall
this afternoon, the flag was greeted with
misses, There were probably 1000 men
and women in the room at the time, all
the seats on the floor and most OF the
seats in the galleries being filed, The
red flag was then unIurled and fastened
on the opposite side Of the platform,
Immediately the kissing ceased and was
succeeded by a burst Of applause.
Men cried "bravo" and women
clapped their hands and waved
handkerchief, After this demon
strstion Martin schmiedInger was
chosen chairman Of tue meeting.
He introduced sergius +, Shevitch, of
New York, as first speaker. Shevitch
spoke in German, and began by declar-

useless and idle to think that this revo-
lution would be a peaceful one.
A session Of the convention was held
during the morning, but was occupied
in appointment OF committees.

A steam bicycle IIauls Two story Passen.
ger Cars.
New YORK, Oct. l3.-About 100 per-
sous who are interested in railroads went
to Coney Island Saturday to attend
the opening Of the standard gauge Boyn-
ton Bicycle Railroad. The Sea Beach
and Brighton Railroad Of Coney Island
has been purchased by the Boynton
Company and fitted up with their new
system.
The Boynton engine Is really a steam
bicycle, Its tandem wheels are placed
directly under 1t, and like the similarly
arranged wheels OF the coaches, they
run on a single rail. The passenger
coaches are built two stories high and
are divided into compartments, each
holding four people. High In the air
above the rail on which the engine
and cars run there Is a guard rail, sup.
ported on Crane.neCked posts. This Is
several feet above the two.story cars.
Arms reaching up from the body OF the
cars, as well as from the engine, support
small horizontal wheels, which clutch
the guard rail and keep the train on the
single rail below. The upper rail bears
no weight, and the inventor declares
the side pressure Is very slight.
BY this system the capacity OF a road
Is doubled, and II is said also the expense
OF traction very much reduced. The
cars are SO narrow that train eau be
run on each rail Of the present standard
gauge road, and yet leave eight inches
between tho trains. The only addition
10 an ordinary road needed Is station.
ary rail overhead. To-day the excursion
party was taken over the Sea Beach
road by an engine and a two.story pas
senger car AZ feet long, The car ran
very smooth. Ni4f4aia7r
