speaker continued. Both parties are
pledged to do nothing against the liquor
question. We have never had an adminis-

has been so perfectly subservient to the

circular to consuls in the Amer

Indies, asking them to gather all the sta

probabilities of the introduction of the
beer trade into those countries. The con-
sui at the Argentine capital replied that the
people there were not primarily beer drink
ers, but they were worth trial. The con-
sui at ths City of Mexico replied that the
people there showed All appetite at once.
The consul at the Bermudas replied that

done at the instance of the brewers. Yet
it was not decade ago that Blaine had
come out and given his testimony on the
blessings of prohibition for Maine."
In conclusion Mrs. Hoffman spoke on the
anti-liquor and anti tobacco Law OF many
of the states, and said if prohibition had
been failure in Maine the people would
not have snRrafted it on their constitution
after 81 years of trial by majority of
over 10000. The speaker WAS listened to
attentively and frequently applauded,
while her witicisms provoked audible
smiles.

Secretary Tracy Says He Will Soon Re-
sumo His Duties.
WASHINGTON. May 22.-In view of certain
statements that have cast doubt upon the
real condition of Secretary Blaine, re-
porter to-day interviewed Secretary Tracy,
who said: 1.-The business of our depart
ments brings Blaine and myself much to-
gether. Any statement that Blaine is not
as strong, sound and alert mentally as he
ever has been does him grave in
Justice. Only a few days before he left for
New York, we were together long time in
consultation over an important public doc
ument. 1t was criticised and discussed at
great length, and l have never seen him
when he appeared to better advantage than
he did on that occasion. I have not ra-
garded his last sickness as of sufficient
gravity to prevent his early return to the
discharge of public duties.''

the Proposed Changes.

The Preachers Finish the Discussion of
the Proposed Changes.
DETROIT, May 22.-The Presbyterian gen
eral assembly met at nine o'clock this
morning. After season of prayer the
conference minutes we're read and standing
committee announced. The clerk read a
list of the presbyteries who voted on the
proposed change III the method of amend
nent of tho standard; ninety lone voted aye,
seven no, six refused to report and fourteen
have not reported. Several statements fol-
lowed Rs to the overture on deaconesses.
The report of the committee on the re-
vision OF the confession of faith was read
by the chairman, Rev. VIM. G. Roberts.
president of the Lake Forest university.
He said, in the introduction, that the copy
from which he was reading was the only
correct one; that he regretted some of the
daily papers had by some means got hold of
and published one partially incorrect copy.
After the teading of the report it was
moved that it be sent down to the presby-
tsries AS recommended by the committee
and the committee continued to make final
report to the next assembly. DIR. Smith
warmly seconded the motion. Rev. DR..
Patton. OF the revision committee, support
ed tho motion. He would have preferred
on strictly technical grounds that the re-
port be recommitted and that they be di-
rected to send it down to the presbyteries
rather than for the assembly to itself to
send it down. because some might under
stand that action as implying some degree
of Endorsement of the recommendations of
the report. He said: II think i'll the
changes proposed in the report the essence
of Calvanism is wholly preserved. We did
not mean to decalvanize and have not.
Everyone who expected anything of that
sort will be disappointed. We were not
unanimous, although so harmonious. We
want to see how tho church views the pro-
posed changes and the proposed methods
of making the changes before deciding to
stand out for anything that docs not appear
in the report. We want the report enti-
cized without any restraint from a misap-
hension of unanimlty in the sessions Of the
committee"
The motion was unanimously adopted,
and the great debate WAS over for this year
AS far Rs the general assembly is CON
cerned.
Judge Hand, of Scranton. Pa. made the
report of the committee on the business
management of the board OF publication.
The committee finds that the recommen-
dations of the special committee of last
year are true and wise. and state that the
most important of these accommodations
have during the year been adopted by the
business committee of the board. The
committee recommend the division of
superintendencies into binding, publica-
tion and distribution, instead of imposing
them all upon one snperintendent; also
that the management of this work be To-
Gated III II bureau which may have upon it
men of technical knowledge, rather than in
outside committee. ihe committee rec-
ommended specific methods for carrying
out the above views.

Art in Everyday Life.

At the present time there is strong
tendency toward the artistic in all things
connected with daily life. 1t is considered,
and there is wisdom in the idea, that
beauty added to an object does not detract
from its usefulness, but rather increases it.
Articles in everyday request do not serve
their purpose less truly If they please the
eye, and by grace of form a. beauty of
coloring educate the nature to find some
thing of the artists pleasure in the Or
binary things which make the setting and
framework of daily life.
This strong artistic impulse has shown
itself in some directions in reaction in
favor of medieval types in articles both
decorative and useful Old china, ancient
jewelry, antique furniture are eagerly
sought after; and old lace, after having
been consigned almost to complete oblivion,
has once more reappeared out of the buried
past to delight an age which dotes ON an
tiquity, with its fragile, filmy tissues
