PRESBYTERIANS.
After the Transaction of Various Matters Of
Importance the Northern Assembly
Adjourn to Meet In Detroit In 1891.

SARATOGA, n. Y. May Pin the
Presbyterian General Assembly this
morning the committees on bills ana
overtures and judiciary committee
recommended "no action'' on several
proposals.
The report of the committee on mar
rative gave summary of progress over
the entire field. The total number of
communicates is over $50 900, q
gain during the year Of 103 ,9O2.
Benevolent contributions to all causes
was not less than S13, 900. There
is tendency to increase the number of
stated supplies and lessen the number of
pastors. There is great need that elders
make more of their important office
Large additions from our Sunday-schools
have been made to our churches, but we
regret that in many there is neglect of our
own lesson helps, and a deplorable ten
dency to non-attendanoe at church by
Sunday-schoo scholars. Family worship
and infant baptism should be more gen.
orally kept up. Yet, in spite of Sabbath
breaking, gambling, intemperance,
floods and disease, progress has been
made. No year has seen such increase
of members.
Notices of death of the large number of
: IL ministers were read by the clerk.
The assembly arose and was led in prayer
by Rev. Theodore F. White. Most OF
the deceased were quite advanced in
age.
DR.. Fiske moved that the revision COM
mittee be allowed to publish their con-
illusions as early as March or April next
in their own discretion. Adopted.
Various standing committees reported
they had 10 more business and was dis
charged.
The roll was called by synods and
showed that a goodly proportion had
stayed through to the end Of this memoir
able session.
After remarks by the moderator and
prayer by Howard Crosby, D. D., bene-
diction was pronounced and the assembly
stood adjourned to meet at Detroit next
year.
Immediately after adjournment the
committee on revision held a meeting and
decided to meet in Pittsburg the first
Tuesday in October.

MURDER OR SUICIDE?
A Man Found Dead in His Room at Bonham.
A Bullet Hole in His Head-sus-
piciOns of Murder.
Special to the Gazette.

BioNHAM, TEX, May 27.-At an early
hour this morning the dead body of ].
NJ. Vlvalette was found in his bed at his
place of business on Main street. The
body was lying in great pool of clotted
blood, which had run from large hole
in his right temple made by pistol ball.
His brains had also been scattered over
the bed. Vivalette had been in the city
for some months, and was a dealer
in sewing machines and musi-
cal instruments. He was an Austrian
by birth, and came here alone, but is
said to have a wife living somewhere in
the East. At first it was supposed to be
case of suicide, but this evening it is
considered doubtful, as there are some
evidences of it being q case of murder.
When the blood was washed from the
wound there was no signs of q powder
burn, and pistol held in the hand of
the deceased in such a way as to put the
bullet through his temple as it went,
must have bevn close enough for the
powder to have. burned the flesh. There
are some other suspicious circumstances.
Officers are investigating the case, apd
will find out what there is in 1t.

LIllLE ROCk, SATURDAY, FEB. 10, 1891.
MRS. ANNA JENNEss MILLER, who is establishing
"School Of Physical Culture in New York City,
proposes teaching women the art of sitting, stand
ing and walking correctly. She will also teach a
more correct manner of breathing, and hopes to
educate the high pitched squeak out of the female
American voice.
The New York World thinks the "Non-P Partisan
Woman's Christian Temperance Union is
clumsy name for the new organization and asks
why they do not call themselves "Mugwump Tee
totallers.' Why? Because ron-cad conserva-
tism is the prominent feature of the new organiza-
ton, and Webster does not define the meaning of
Mugwump, neither has custom clothed it in
fashionable garb.
IT is a fact worthy of note that the Senate Com
mittee on Woman Suffrage has room devoted to
their own special use, and upon the door may be
seen in gilt letters, ''Woman Suffrage" Chair
man Vance of North Carolina receives the credit
Of securing this apartment in the National Capitol
for the use of the committee, and deserves the
greater praise for his enterprise and energy in be-
half Of his special committee, when it is under
stood that there are thirteen other committees
clamoring for apartments in the capitol.
The Westminster and Lambeth Gazette saws
that short time ago the French Chambers carried
measure prohibiting the employment of women
for night work. but the Senate vetoed the resolu-
ton. 1t says of the measure that true humanity
would have been shown had they put womans
wages on par with mems, paying them the same
when they perform equal work and do it as well as
men do theirs. That the proper thing to do would
be to open wide more doors for women workers,
instead Of trying to shut those that are only half
open now.
DISPATCHES from Europe to the American press
give some of the most distressing accounts of the

Russian refugees in this city have received
cipher letter from Kara, Eastern Siberia, stating
that Nine. Sihida lady Of noble birth and lately
q school teacher in Moscow, who was serving out
penal sentence for being found in the possession
Of revolutionary documents, has committed suicide
Nine Sihida, who was very beautiful woman, had
resented insults offered her by the director of the
prison. In consequence of her so doing she was
stripped and fogged in the presence of the men in
the prison. Fearing renewal of her humiliation
