Presbytery to Discuss Changes In the Con-
fession of Faith.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE New York
Presbytery met yesterday afternoon in the
Scotch Church in West Fourteenth street
to discuss the proposed revision of the
Confession of Faith This was special
meeting, and il was held in the main body
of the church building to give ministers,
theological students and other visitors an
opportunity of hearing the debate. The
meeting began at 2 o'clock, and may be
continued from day TO day. When re-
vision was before the Presbytery two
years ago the Presbytery held special
meetings for twelve days until all who
desired to speak had had an opportunity.
The question before the Presbytery now
is not whether there shall oe n revision Of
the time-honored creed, but it is how
many changes shall be made. The Pres
bytery's committee, headed by DIR. Henry
Van Dyke, has presented a report on rhe
tentative work of the general assembly's
revision committee. 1t recommends that
the Presbytery recognize with gratitude
work already done by the assembly's COM
mittee commend the new chapters on the
Holy Spirit and the Gospel, and recon-
mend additional amendments in the line
of the work already done.

why Should not Women Have Them as
Wei n Men?
Women never have a pocket. It went
out Of fashion years ago. In proportion
as this feminine possession has become
obsolete. the absurd number OF this mas
culine heritage has been steadily increas-
ing. With twenty-five gowns In a femi-
nine outfit there is not one pocket. In
ten suits OF clothes In n masculine ward
robe there are about 175 pockets. There
have been times when man has been
known to regret the possession OF pockets
and TO regard them as highly inconven-
lent affair. Women have way OF search
Ing through masculine pockets for letters
they are only half expecting to find. Some
times they find them. Then there is
trouble. II may be only the letter sha.
gave him 10 mail few weeks ago, and |
may be some other letter. In either case
the position IL awkward for him, and he
Is apt TO regret having pockets.
Woman has been steadily retrograding
since she relinquished her title TO this
highly convenient affair. In tho mass OF
drapery and the paraphernalia OF straps,
hoops, cushions. and so on, into which sho
was for many years harnessed the pocket
became o superiluity from its very un-
reachable nature, and was finally abol-
ished.

a smooth. tight fit. In consequence your
back forms are hardly an inch wide In the
armhole. In n well-cut bodice they are as
wide there as at the waist-line. The swell
OF bust and shoulders Is accommodated
by the back and front figures.
When stuff Is cut on the cross you

Water for Garfield.


Work is progressing satisfactorily in
the well intended to supply the town
with water. 1t is now down over fifty
feet with good indications of water.
Messrs. w. r. Lloyd, of this place,
and David Garrett, Of Pullman, are the
projectors.
In a. recent conversation with the
writer, Mr.. Lloyd unfolded their plans.
In case water is struck at depth that
will permit it, it is proposed to tunnel in
from the side of hill and strike the
water.
But should it be necessary to sink
deep to obtian quantity of water, it
will be pumped to the surface by steam
power and a reservoir be built on the
hill, which is perhaps 200 feet above the
level Of the town. This would give a
tremendous pressure. By sighting
across a level from the top of the hill an
idea Of the attitude can be obtained.
The tallest church spire looks small in
deed.
With a system of water works, Gar
field would not feel SO helpless against
fire. 1t would be a great convenience
to the citizens and would reduce the
high insurance rates. The enterprise
should be encouraged by every citizen.

Teachers.
Fairhaven Herald.

When young man or young woman
fits himself Or herself for the purpose Of
instructing others, it should be done
with the greatest care, as the response
bility laid upon teachers and instructors
is something that can hardly be esti-
mated. Their whole heart and soul
should be in the work.
They should remember that they are
teaching the young people who, in after
years will 60 out into the world, to as
sumo its cares and burdens, its hard
ships, its trials and temptations, and
much of either the good or the bad that
they reap in after years can be traced as
the result Of their early training il the
school-room.
Public instructors should always be
selected with the greatest care and they
should be examples Of patriotism, tenn
perance and morality. 1t is a great
honor and should be so considered by
those who impart their knowledge to
others, and only the best and purest
thoughts should ever be given to
children.
No person who is sickIy or broken
down with nervous prostration, or who
is diseased with consumption or any
other ailment should be allowed to min
gle with children. Persons who have
outlived their usefulness and are become
morbid cranks or extremists should
never be allowed to instruct children or
to stay in the school-room.
There are some teachers who have
mania for furnishing their charges SO
much that it leaves them but little time
for instruction. This class Of people
should be dispensed with on all occasions.
When a child cannot behave himself or
it is impossible to gain its affections he
had better be sent home, where he can
properly be dealt with more wisely by
his parents than by the teacher, who
has so many to train.
The school-room is not the place for
Aogging Or other severe punishments.
There may be extreme cases, but they
are very rare, and the teacher who can
not govern his own temper will never be /
able to command the respect and obedi-
ence of his pupils

Hiss Bonheur's Costume Makes Trouble.
A young Frenchwoman who is now
married tells story of how her engage
ment was nearly broken off through her
acquaintance with Mile Bonheur, who
at the time was busy on a picture in
Paris, working in the house Of the young
Frenchwoman's cousin.
One afternoon the painting did not 90
well, and Mile. Bonheur went to the Jar
din des Plantes for information, taking
the happy girl as a companion. Sitting on
a bench in the shaded walk they saw in
the distance the girls betrothed, who
instead of joining them looked mo-
ment, then flung away in a passion, and
for the space of a week was not heard
from. Then finally he paid a sulky
visit, demanding an explanation of her
apparently intimate relations with an
other man.
"a mani? said the laughing girl, now
comprehending the desertion, ''shalI |
call the gentleman"
"What, in your house?' said the mys-
titled caller
A minute later Nile. BOnheur stood in

Railroad Changes at TekOa.


Considerable talk and considerable
uneasiness was occasioned last Saturday
by the report which gained currency in
some mysterious manner to the effect
that the machine shops and all the rail
road interests were to be moved from
this city in the near future. At the
same time another report that the train
dispatches and the superintendent office
was to be moved to Walla Walla. The
latter report however proved true, the
same being confirmed by Manager Nc
Neal who was in the city Tuesday morn
ing. The rumor regarding the removal
of the shops was groundless, according to
Mr.. McNeals statement, who says that
the shops are to be enlarged, probably
doubled, and that work will be COM
menced within a few weeks. The re-
moval of the dispatchers and Superin-
tendent Holcomb's office to Wala Walla
is due to changes below and amounts to
nothing so far as effecteng Tekoa is
concerned, as it takes away only two or
three persons.

never about anything else. The cause
Of his depression is unknown. He has
