American PreshrterIans-

Rev. DR.. James Ludlow, writing in
The Cosmopolitan, throws historical
light on John Calvin and the Presbyte-
rian right to revise the confession. Cal
vim, who was brought up Roman Cath
Olic, warred especially for the principle
that "all ecclesiastical power should be
lodged in the hands of representatives Of
The people, to whom and not to any hier-
aTchy he believed our Lords promises
had been given"
The Westminster Confession Of Faith
was formulated by body composed Of
121 of the ablest scholars of the time, 10
members of the house of lords and 20
from the commons. They were six years
preparing the Confession of Faith. What
they ed then the Presbyterians who
will revise the Confession of Faith are
about to do now and have perfect right
to do, says DR.. Ludlow. Men, eminent
scholars and Christians, formulated the
confession; men, likewise eminent schol-
ars and Christians, will revise it to suit
the demands of today.
Religious liberty and liberty Of con-
science were what the Presbyterians
contended for, aud some suffered martyr
dom for in the early days, and the same
freedom obtains among them still, says
our writer. In 1913 there were those
among them who declared against the
formulation of any creed at all. Antony
Tucker, one of the members of the West
minister assembly, wrote:
''In the Assembly l gave my vote with
others that tho Confession of Faith put
QUIT by Authorize should not bee eyther
required to bee sworn or subscribed too:
we having bin burnt in the hand in that
kind before"
Jonathan Dickinson was the leading
divine in the American church in 1929
when the confession was adopted here,
and he took strong ground against lit
eral subscribing to any formula, declar-
ing his belief especially in these words of
the Westminster document, "God alone
is Lord of the conscience The Pres
byterians of North Carolina made a dec
laration of political independence the
year before that of July 4, 1916, was
adopted. They voted that "All laws
and commissions confirmed by or derived
from the authority of king or parliament
ere hereby vacated"

During the fiscal year ending June 30
the national debt was diminished more
than was expected, considering the
heavy national demands during this
period. The diminishment was 81, 000,-
600. For the corresponding year previ-
Gus the decrease was $114, OO0,O 900. Thus
the rate is still over a hundred million
for each of the two years.

There is no red tape at all about the
method for appointing the Worlds fair
national committee under the law. First
the governor of each state and territory
appoints two commissioners, one from
each of the leading political parties.
Next the names of the appointees are
sent to the senate. The senate takes a
tug at them and confirms them. They
are not yet out of their misery, however.
They must next appear before the presi-
dent Il, Benjamin Harrison, president
of the United States" gives them a COM
mission with seals and things. Then
finally they are ready to go into the pre-
imiuary proceedings for the Columbus
exposition. One of the first appoint
ments made was that of Col. Charlton
n. Way, named by Governor Gordon,
of Georgia. Col Way is experienced in
Worlds fair business, having been COM
missioner of two of them already, both
at Paris, one in 1867, the other in 1878.

more like a star fish than a plant, and

Cholera did not appear in America q
few years ago, when 1t was expected,
but we may have a visitation from 1t

very fatal, however, so far.

Speaker Reed has courage, there is no
doubt of that. For many years, success
sive congresses have been trying to re-
move the pie and photograph AeRds from
the corridors OF. the house wing Of the
Capitol Down at the west door one
vender sold wedges of dyspeptic yellow
pie; up In the beautiful halls themselves
of our temple of liberty Others sold pho
tographs of congressman, and there was
none who had the grit to cast them out
up to this time. But now, by peremp-
tory order of Speaker Reed, they go,
even the quaint old dame with the side
curls, who was as much Of a curios-
ity as the statue of Washington en-
gagged ina baseball match with Colum-
bus on the east front. But the little old
girl was almost as game as Speaker Reed
himself, and her possessions had to be
removed by force before she would leave
the spot. After she is dead she Will
doubtless haunt that corridor.

A ShOplifter's Trick.

New York shOplifters have more than
one way to secure their booty. A lady
in one of the first class dry goods houses
gave 81 bill in payment for an eighty
five cent purchase at one of the count
ers, and being in a hurry walked on to
another part of the store, having first
| told the saleswoman she would return
shortly for the change and parcel. She
did SO in perhaps twenty minutes, was
told there was nothing for her; that
her friend had taken it.
Why" she said; there was no one
with me-"
1t then transpired that well dressed
woman who had walked away by the
side of the purchaser had returned in
about five minutes asking for the par
eel, glibly recounting its contents. "a
yard and three-quarters of black and
white ruching, costing eighty five cents,
for which my friend gave a 81 bill. "
The girl was convinced, as she had no.
ticed the two walk off together, and de-
livered the parcel and change.
A floor walker and detective were
called up. Both recognized the trick
as well known one, against which, "
said the floor walker, there is really
no adequate protection, SO long as
ladies keep up the habit of running
about from counter to counter without
gathering up their parcels. One reason
for the issue of transfer cards is to
guard against just this sort of thing.
If a shopper only expects to purchase
two or three things she may, if in haste,
have these follow her, and pay for
them finally all together. These shop
lifters often secure the parcels and
change without the ruse of posing as a
friend, for it is difficult for saleswo-
man at a busy hour to identify readily
a purchaser of twenty minutes previous.
Ladies themselves are often puzzled
and will come back to counter ask
ing, uncertainty: Are you the one l
bought such and such articles fromT
Yet they expect saleswoman to re-
member perfectly. That they cannot
and do not is shown by the frequency
with which this trick is successfully

they descend TO false and untruthful
statements against me personally that l
desire 10 coreci. 1t is that portion in
which they state that the Atlantic & Pa
clhc has paid the expenses OF pursuing
and capturing certain tram robbers who
committed crimes in this county. In
the matter OF the Canyon Dlablo rob
bers, so far from paying either the men
who were with me in that aff,ir, or my
self, thousands OF dollars, the Company
deducted $s,soO on, OF the s., 900 re-
ward il offered TO pay such expenses.
That is to say, that instead of paying
$4,000. as it had prom sed, for The ar
rest and conviction of the four robbers,

remaining s., 500 had been paid gu, by

our June Wea,nsr.

From meteorological summary for
the month of June, 1890, kindly fur
nished us by Signal Corps Observer ],
McGlone, of Whipple. We condense the
following. II will be found interesting
reading for our eastern readers, who
have been sweitering in the intense
heat during the past moth, and at the
same time compassionately wondering
how Arixonans endured the heat. We
might preface the report, for their
benefit, by repeating what is apparent
~ unknown 10 many eastern people,
that Prescott is situated in the pine
clad mountains $500 feet, or little
overa mile, above sea level, where We
always experience ceol nights, and as
will be seen Below, the heat is not er-
cessive even during the day. From the
figures given below, TO compare the
temperature with that OF the eastern
ami middle states, deduction of from 10
TO 20 degrees should be made, AS there
exists fully that difference in the effect
of the heat, owing 10 the lackof moisture
in the atmosphere here as compared with
the above sections. In other words,
temperature OF 100 in this section will
not be felt with any more inconven-
fence than one OF so or 50 degrees
in section containing moist atmos-
phere. Here are the signal service
figures foi June:
