Into Dr Hall,

New York, Fob Tho New York
Presbytcry further discussed the revision
of the profession Of faith. Rev. Dr.
John Hall, lender Of tho oppo5ers of the
revision, began the summing up, He
said II is admitted by the framors Of the
report that the reason given for com.
pleto revision Of the confession was
simply because Il did not cover tho mis-.
sionary work The doctrines Of tho
church, passing by che non-elect had
been represented a8 stumbling block
he said. He cited many chapters of tho
Bible wherein stumbling blocks are re-.
forred 10, and claimed that we put our
selves in false position, To be CON
sstent we should not royi6e completely,
but remodel.
Dr. Hastings closed the debate for the
revisionists He claimed that there Is u
great deal in the confession Of faith that
has nothing 10 do with tho duty OF faith.
"Dr, Hall thinks that we rovislonsts
should go furthcr,h he said, "and en-.
tirely remodel the confessions strange he
don't belle 70 In revision, but believes in
remodelng H. We can hardly
hope that the men who did not
write the report can DO expected
TO vote for II. 10 seems TO
me that a great many do not know the
difference between remodel and revision.
Dr. Hall in his obituary of me the other
day said that everybody loved me.
Very well. And he also said that Satan
was the prince of power in the air, and
that revision was in the air II is pretty
hard TO sit here and hear our committee
so falsely represented, We said in that
report iust what we meant and will
stand by IL whether the presbytery does
or not Dr. Hall said that many Of the
speeches made here panied him very
much. DIR. Hall, in his speech, pained
some of his best friends very much, and
all through there was an underourrent
of assumption in reference TO tho con.
struction Of revision" With other re-
marks DIR, Hastings closed his summing
up. The chairman called upon Rev. DR.,
Rossiter TO lead in prayer and the session
adjourned.

you remember in ''Nickleby." Then via
duct was constructed 400 feet in length anu
30 feet in breadth. extending across the val
ley, crossing Harrington street by hard
some. massive bridge of iron and polished
granite. Only at this bridge, midway of the
structure, do you appreciate the fact that
you are ON an elevated street, forlon either
nand are enormous commercial bulldogs,
railway stations, churches and hotels. Other
streets connect with the viaduct by easy
gradients,
Ii Holborn viaduot is remarkable above
the pavement. Here the first extensive con-
struction Of subways in London was at
tempted and successfully accomplished.
ineSe suDways are intended for carrying all
the works that underlie a metropolitan
street. at the very bottom is the sewer.
ABOVE the sewer is subway containing
gas and water pipes and electric
wires. Whenever it is necessary to repair or
after any OF these pipes or wire lines the
work Is performed in the subways without
disturbing the surface of the street. Even
the sewer could be repaired or rebuilt with
out lifting the pavement. The snbways are
Duiit OF brick. They are IL feet 6 inches
high and Z feet wide. They are ventilated
by shafts connected with trapped gullies in
the roadway; with the perforated lamp
posts, and also with tiues let into the party
walls of buildings. Any gas that may escape
is thus carried off, and sufficient fresh air is
obtained for the workmen. The subways
are lighted by .gratIngs fitted with 'tglobules
OF thick glass" and they can also be lighted
by incandescent electric lamps.
The construction of the Holborn viaduct
Subways led to the construction of others,
especially when large new streets were cut
through old and inconyenient parts of the
metropolis. Queen Victoria street, from the
Bank of England to the Times office,
Shaftesbury avenue, the Charing Cross road,
Northumberland avenue and the Embank-
meht are among the chief thoroughfares
thus supplied with subways, ana the system
is advanced whenever opportunity offers.
Snbways are sadly needed in American
cities. Where subways are pavements can
be kept in excellent condition, provided
they are properly put down in the first in
stance. Here, then, is economy. There is
economy in time and labor saved in the
actual " ork of pipe, wire ana sewer laying
or repairing. Sub"ays more than pay for
themselves. but our city fathers in the
this.

THE POINTED BEARD.
Fashion Says 1t Must Be Sup
planted by the Square Cut.

1t has been decreed by the artistic BARRIERS
of Paris that the pointed beard, which has
for SO long time held popular favor, is no
longer the thing of fashion that it was. As
has happened before in the history of the
world, 1t is to be supplanted by another
beard having many of its characteristics,
but still different in its entirety. nj. Henri
Poujol, late of the Paris Jockey Club, and
the greatest of American BARRIERS, gives this
reason for the change:
"The pointed beard" he said, "has GER
tain advantages over all others, ana that is
the reason why it has so long been popular.
King Henry III of France. 1t requires less
trimming and care than any other, and
therefore in this busy country, where
men do not care to waste more time
than is necessary in attending to
their personal appearance, it has naturally
been widely adopted. But because of its
popularity it must now go. TIE gentleman
of fashion refuses longer to wear beard
which has become SO common that every
dry goods clerk wears it. That is the rea-
toned gentlemen of Paris. They found that
everybody was wearing it; that it had be-
come too popular. They said: This will
not do. We must have something more ex-
elusive The cry is re-echoed in this coun-
trv, and the beginning OF the end has come.
The new beard resembles the one now about
to be discarded in some respects. 1t is like
a pointed beard with the point cut off. Its
very thin and closely cut on the cheeks,
Is 1t is peculiar fact that the adoption of
this style after discarding the other is but a
repetition of history. After Henry III had
made the pointed beard SO fashionable the
Due de Guise introduced the present beard.
The Due do Guise. as you will remember.
was the instigator of the Huguenot massacre
on st. Bartholomew day. He lived in the
sixteenth century and was assassinated in
his forty-third year by order of Henry III.
The new beard is not likely to be so uni
versally adopted as the other was, because
1t requires more care ard attention. At
present there are only four such boards in
New York City. These are the pioneers of
the new style. In Paris there are many of
them"
There is another reason for the popular
ity of the pointed beard which Mr., Pouiol
did not refer to. That is, the fact that 1t
assists the busy man in reflection. Unlike
any other beard, this one can be seized at
its apex and twisted and pulled and fondled
without in the slightest degree interfering
with its good appearance. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to see man with pointed
beard twisting the point of 1t with salts
lied air while lost in reflection.
Many of the prominent citizens of this
town who wear pointed beard have not
yet, apparently, learned the decree that has
doomed it They still go on wearing it as
though the mandate of fashion was not the
terrible thing that every body realizes it to
be. They will undoubtedly all come around.
