FELLOWSHIP CEMENTED.

Presbyterian Assembly Goes on Record
In Christian Endeavorers Favor.
Saratoga, May 27-The Christian En-"
deapor- won a victory yesterday In the
Presbyterian general assembly. Those
Interested in the movement were In the
majority and they exercised their power.
The sum total of the assembly's action
comprises the adoption OF "A statement
OF relations between individuals, So
cieties and churches" which was d.
rected to be read in the various societies.
and OF a provision for the collection of
Christian Endeavor statistics. Provi-
sion was made for a committee of five to
report on the Brotherhood of Andrew
and Philip and on boys brigades.
secretary Baer of the United So
cieties of Christian Endeavor said:
The report, as finally adopted, will be
welcomed by Presbyterian Endeavorers
everywhere. II shows conclusively that
this assembly believes our Christian En-
deavor young people to be loyal Presby-
terians, and that Ii also emphatically
desires to take no steps that shall with
draw Endeavorers from the fellowship
OF young people of other denominations
1t was a statement Of denominational
loyalty, and OF desire for spiritual in
terdeEominational fellowship. 1 am
confident the action will meet the hearty
approval OF thousands of young people
and pastors, not only in the Presby-
torian church. but i'm other denomina-
tsons, who have been apprehensive that
some action might be taken that would
break the fellowship OF Christian En-
deayor"

The Dangers of the Cheap
Lodging Houses.
Police Regard Them as a Men,
ace and a Nuisance.
They Have Drawn Gangs Of Sturdy
Beggars to Providence.

Among the police the Cheap lodging
house is fast gaining the reputation OF
being a nuisance, and the sentiment is
growing daily in favor OF some action on
the part OF the city fathers which will
place upon these institutions needed re-
strictions and compel them to provide the
ordinary and necessary safeguards against
loss of life by fire. In many OF the estab-
lishments that flourish in the less favored
districts OF the city not only are fire
escapes unprovided, but the rooms are so
constructed and crowded as to be positive
fire-traps, while absolutely no attention
whatever Is paid TO sanitary conditions.
In a word, to repeat the remark OF a
policeman whose duty frequently calls
him into such places, they are in many
cases nothing but fire-traps and fruitful
fields for the propagation OF disease. In
deed, the cheap lodging houses, instead
of being blessing, have become bane,
and IN the opinion OF those familiar with
them are a menace, not only to the people
who frequent them, but TO the commun-
ity at large.
In few isolated cases good may be done
by them. Honest men seeking employ
ment may be forced to seek shelter in
them because their means Will not permit
OF better housing. but this class IL very
small indeed, and contributes but an i'm
significant part OF the patrons Of cheap
lodging places. The great majority of
their clientage is made up of those who
are not seeking work, and who would net
accept IL work were offered them. They
are tbe idle, shiftless and lazy fellows
who bask in the sun during the day and

"You remem ber, Bob, that bull terrier

his friend, as they sat down to wait for
dinner to be served.
The friend remem oered.

'but 1t would settle things quickly TO
