GENERAL ASSEMBLY OPPOSED.
New York Synod Refuses to BoycOt
Union Seminary

The Presbyterian synod of New York yes
terday at Binghamton ratified the action of
the presbytery of Oswego in licensing Frank
B. Seely, a student in Union Senin Try, con-
trary to the rule made for the New York
presbytery by the last general assembly at
P1ttsburg. Two reports We're presented.
The majority report took exception ito the
action OF the pcesbytery in licensing on
June ., 1898, student pursuing his studies
IN seminary not approved by the general
assembly, but the report continued, "n siew
of the fact that the action of the general as
se.nbly on May 23. 1875, respecting such
students had not at that time been officially
rotihed to the presby teries, and as it was not
conceived that the action of the general as
sembly was intended to be retroac tive in its
enect, and as the members of the presbytary
taking part in such licensure have declared
that 1T was not their intention to array them
serves or their presbytery in opposition to the
action OF the general assembly, the commit
tee recommends the approval of the min
utes."
The report of the minority was as follows:
Ihe minority OF the committee wo I'D re-
port recommending the approval of he min
uleS, WIN the possible exception of the seam-
ing irreguiarty in the matter of ,rning
trial parts for licensu.e to candidates not
YET received under the care of the prespy-
terry"
After long discussion and many conflict
ing motions, the minority report was substi-
tuted by vote of 20 to 90 for the ma jority
report Ihe Impression prevails that unless
the synod shall reconsider its acton it las
arrayed itself against the recent action of
the general assembly in enjoining the pres
bytery or New York and all others by inpli-
eaton from receiving under their care with
q view to icensure, students from Union
Seminary. This was the so-cdIled boycott"
resolution.
1t Is possible that an effort will be made TO-
day TO reverse the decision thus reached
Inc conservatives are much troubled ty the
result, and If reversal cannot be effected
VIII probably give notice of a complaint to
of their ground.

GUILD OF. ST. BARNABAs,
Rev. DR.. Mackay Smith Comments th
Organization I'm nm AdJre~.


Rev. DR.. Mnckny Smith Commends the
Organization I'm an Address. '
Today being st. Luke's day, Rev. DR.. Mac
kay Smith delivered an address at the mid
day service at st. Johns Church that was
particularly appropriate to the occasion. A
portion of his talk was devoted to a COM
mandatory reference to the Guild of St.
Barnabas, an organization for Christian
nurses.
The guild Is intended "to help the nurses
to realize the greatness of their calling, to
maintain high standard in 1t, and also to
enable them more surely to overcome the
temptations incident to their position. The
guild, by associating nurses together, and
with them other women as friends, and also
by engaging the personal interest of ply
slcians and clergymen in their behalf, aims
to supply some of the comfort and power
obtained by association and thus to be help
full to the nurse, whether on duty or not"
The Guild of St Barnabas was founded
ABOUT nine years ago by clergyman of
Boston, but it has grown steadily, and much
more rapidly than its friends at the outset
had any cause to expect. Now there are
fourteen branches in the following Places:
Boston. Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia.
Pittsburg, st. Louis Utica, Hartford, Or
ange, Sen Francisco, Washington, New
Haven, Chicago and Cincinnati, with an ag-
gregate membership of about 1,1OO, while
every month brings additions to the menl-
bers, so that the nurse who wears the badge
Of the Guild of st. Barnabas finds friends in
many places even on the Pacific coast
The badge, or medal worn by each men,
Der of the organization is patterned after
the Nightingale Jewel. which was presented
to Florence Nightingale by Queen Victoria
In recognition of her services in the Grim
can war.

An Old Blind Mans Songs Decreed to
Be n Nuisance.
Cornelius Hawkins Is a familiar figure to
every one who is in the habit of passing up
and down 7th street. He is tall, straight
colored man, and his face always wears a
cheerful look Notwithstanding the fact that
he cannot see. He has stood for more than
twenty years at the corner of 7th and G
streets. and by the sales of shoe strings and
matches endeavors to earn a living for him
self and family. Winter winds have blown
around him and the fierce heat of summer
has beat upon him, yet for more than two
decades he has been at his post at the cor
ner OF the patent office railing and has
seemed to be as much a part of the land
Scape as the huge building itself.
A blind mans existence is not the hap
piest in the world. but Hawkins has been
uniformly cheerful, and his radiant face
mon after sermon to the throngs that
crowd past him on the business thorough
fare. Very often the joy in his heart finds
expression in song from his lips. His hon.
esty is unQuestioned. Altogether he IS an
unique and interesting figure.
1t has been matter Of comment lately
tfat Hawkins was found near the corner
of street instead of at his old stand. fur
ther rorth on the same square. He was
forced to move, it was stated. because a
complaint from across the way that his
singing was annoying.
Today in Judge Kimbalrs court Hawkins
was given a hearing on a charge of OBJ
structing the sidewalk
1t appeared that his singing had annoyed
Mrs. Fisher, who lives on 7th street, and
who is sick. Although requested to refrain
from singing, 1t is asserted he declined to
do so. .+ .
In his own behalf Hawkins said he had
been singing at that corner for more than
twenty years, and that in 1854 he was given
permission to stand there.
He promised not to repeat the offense
and will hereafter stand at the corner of
F street. e.
The charge against him was dismissed

TAMMANY LOSES.

Tho result of two days of registration
shows falling off in the entire city of New
York of 81, COZ from last years total for the
first two days, and of 31,s14 from the samS
period in the presidential year Of 1892.
There is gain of 25,056 however over tho
first two days registration in 1898, which
was the year in which Maynard headed tho
democratic state ticket, and a small vote
was polled in the city. The 1893 registration
as the smallest in many years.
The feature of the two days totals this
year is the fact that the losses are in tho
Tammany districts. five-sixths Of the total
loss from last years registration being
shown in the returns from below 14th
street. This territory is Tammany's boast
ed Gibraltar.
With a new police board, new criminal
court judges, the old Tammany registrar
ton figures are no longer found in the res
turns. The lodging house 'foater" has dis
appeared. Nor are the courts crowded with
Tammany leaders followed by long lists
of foreigners for false naturalization, to be
colonized below 14th street. This evil, too,
has been done away with. and now that 10
has gone the Tammany padded registration
returns have gone, too.
