MUST PAY UP.
Presbyterians Can Leave the Old
Church When they Settle-.22t
Letters Givan

In obedience 90 n call of the clerk the
elders Of the First Presbyterian chuch met
in the parlOr of the church last night to
tansact such business as might come be-
fore 1t. All the members of the session
were present and the meeting lasted until
after If O'Clock.
a committee consisting Of E. W. Gibbs,
Erwin Marshall and II. # Rabe were
present to meet the session and ask for
the letters OF those who intended to unite
with the new organization. In order to
procure letter from the Presbyterian
church 1t is necessary that the persons
asking for the letter does so of his own
free will
The names on the request for the letters
were all in the same handwriting This
led the elders TO ask some questions con-
cerning them, rs to how they were OBJ
tanned, whether by persuasion or other
wise. Several Of the ladies who had
secured some of the names were present
in the outer room and they were called
in and closely questioned.
This move on the part of the session to
determine whether the names were of
those who really desired to leave. aroused
the ire of the ladies' When they came
out of the session room u regular indigna-
tion meeting was held and the elders
roundly denounced for appearing to-
doubt their vcracity. The elders then
took the matter Of granting the letters,
under discussion, and the new church
people sat around in the Sabbath school
room, discussing new church plans and
paying their respects to the elders and
the old church.
About II O'Clock the committee was
again summoned before the elders and it
was announced that letters would be
granted TO all who were not in arrear to
the church. Those who were behind in
their payments must settle up before they
could receive letters. There were 221
names on the petition. That of Mrs.
Ferguson was not among the number.
As soon as the decision of the elders
was announced the committee started
for Rev. Mr.. FcrgusOn's home and in
formed him Of the state Of affairs.
The session also decided to have It an
nouned next Sabbath that on the 3Oth
inst the resignation Of the board of elders
would be made and their successors elect
ed during the morning service. A COM
mittee of Presytery will be in charge Of
the matter
As n number Of those who desire to
leave the church are in arrears on pay
ments, 1t Is probable that the funds in the
First church treasury will be considerably
increased today.

BISHOP THoBuRN HERE

Thirty-eight years ago an itenerant
preacher in the Methodist church was cir
culating about in this vicinity endeavoring
to lead souls to the foot of the cross. He
met with some success but 1t was u hard
struggle then and his thoughts seemed to
wander continually to the East. He saw
in his minds eye the millions of uncon-
verted in the ancient countries of the old
world and it seemed to him that his work
was there. One peaceful day he went out
into woods not many miles from Can
ton, and, concealed in the foliage Of u
broken down bough, he bowed in prayer
and wrestled with the question which, an
swered, was to decide whether he should
go on in his work here or go to the mis-
sionary fields of India. 1t seemed to him
that a voice rang in his ears telling him
to go to India. He went and became one
of the greatest teachers ever sent from
America.
This Methodist was none other than
Bishop Thoburn who occupied the pulpit
of the Methodist church here Sunday and
spoke on mission work. Collections were
taken up and quite sum raised for mis-
sion work.

course, and the prediction was freely made
that no one of the contestants would make
five miles. Duryea started at S:55 and pass
ed the Auditorium, a distance of eight
miles, an hour later. He made the finish
at I:1S completing the course in ten hours
and twenty-three minutes. The H. Mueller
machine finished at 1913 O'Clock, coming in
second. For miles on the west side the
boulevards we're almost unbroken fields Of
snowbanks and slush.
The fight for speed honors was between
Duryea, Mueller and Macy. Duryea is an
American inventor, and his motor is
radical departure from the foreign type
used on the wagons of his two competitors.
The carriage with which he raced was
manufactured two years ago. Since that
time Mr. Duryea has made many improve
ments on his motor, but was unable to
complete the work the new vehicle
which ne had entered for the contest. He
accordingly made the run with ther old
motorcycle.
The Paris-Bordeaux race was worthless
from a scientific standpoint, but the con-
test just closed may result IN the t5tab-
l.shment of reliable data concerning what
many consider the vehicle of the future.

ITALY'S POLICY OUTLINED.
Premier Crispi Makes IN Important
Statement In the Chm Der OF IDENTITIES

Premier Crispi Makes an Important
Statement In the Chamber OF Deputies
Important statements were made in the
Italian chamber of deputies last night by
Premier Crispi and by Baron Blanc Italian
minister of foreign affairs, concerning uues-
tons of Italy's internal and foreign policy,
and especially her attitude toward Turkey,
and, incidentally, the attitude of the other
powers.
Premier CTspi's statement was a long
one. and was largely devoted to the govern
ments internal policy. He defended at
length the Italian and anti-Socialist laws
and he asserted that in practice socialism
differed little from anarchy. He admitted
That the public security was not ideal but
said 1t was improving. He said that al
though ne formerly opposed the law of
guarantees he now upheld it. This law he
said, could not be revoked without leading
TO internal disorders and foreign complica-
tons. the Vatican now enjoyed great free
dom.
Az to Turkey.
Regarding Turkey, the premier stated
that the powers are in accord. and he was
confident that the peace would not be dis
turbed If it We're disturbed, however, Italy
would not repeat her old mistakes, ana
would see her rights safeguarded.
Baron Blanc, the minister of foreign af-
fairs followed the premier with a long ex-
PLANTATION Of the Italian position on the
Turkish Questic He denied that italy had
attempted any Isolated action on this Ques-
ton, and asserted that her endeavors
throughout had been devoted to converting
concerted action by three powers into con-
certed action by six powers. While the
European situation was good, the minister
went on to say. the condition of affairs in
the Turkish provinces remained troubled.
The porte had addressed to the powers re-
marks-if, indeed, they might not be called
reproaches-hopins thereby to delay mat
tiers at the risk Of again aggrayating the
s:tuat on.
The porte Will commit an error" Baron
Blanc conclude! by saying, eff ii thinks the
present situation can be solved by diplo-
matte discussions of past events when we
are face to face with the atrocious deeds
that have provoked universal horror and
with the peril of latent anarchy, to an out
break Of which, at any moment, Europe
cannot leave herself exposed"
Baron Blanc was greeted with cheers as
he concluded his statement.
