TOPICS OF BAPTISTS.
Baptism and DenominatiOnsI Beliefs
Discussed by Ministers.

CHICAGO, Nov Ills Baptism Pre-
requisite to The Lords Supper?" was the
topic discussed last night at the fifteenth
annGal meeting of the Baptist Congress,
lsow being held in this city. The position
taken by DR.. o. P. Clifford, of Buffalo, and
Dr. r. II. Conwell, of Philadelphia, two of
the most eminent divines in the denomina-
tions, indicated decided change of senti-
ment among BaptistS on the subject of close
communion. They and large number of
other speakers took the negative.
To-day's session was devoted to discus
sion of the question ssShOuld denomina-
tional beliefs impose limitations upon teach
ers. There were some differences of opin-
how they should be observed by teachers of
the church. The papers showed that a lib
eral view of the matter had been taken by
the writer's, but all seemed to agree that
in teaching the Baptist faith it was neces-
sary to follow fundamental principles of the
faith. and that unless limitations were i'm
posed this could not be done. The first
paper was read by President A. K. Deblers,
of Shurtleff College, upper Alton, ILL.,, who
discussed the matter from the standpoint
OF the teacher. Rev. A. K. Parker read a
paper covering the subject from the min
isterial point Of view DR.. George A. Loftin
read a paper on the same subject, and a
general discussion followed.
The principal address at the evening ses-
sion of the congress was a speech by the
Hon. p. s. Grosscup, judge of the United
States Circuit Court, on the Cuban ques-
tien. A paper was read by Prof. H. p
Judson, of Chicago, and the appointed
speakers We're Prof. o. T.. Mason, of the

ASPEN, Col, Nov. 17.--While 1T is general
ly conceded tonight that there is but little
danger of the Smuggler fire spreading be-

may extend into months are greater than
since the fire started Sunday morning. The
management are now confident the seat of
trouble is located somewhere between the
seventh and eighth levels, but just where
they are unable to say. The cribbing in
this slope between these two levels is
S0x164 feet and one hundred feet thick,
filled solid with waste. All efforts to locate
the fire have now been abandoned, and the
fight against it is carried on in general
way between the seventh and eighth levels
with water from above and steam from be-
low. At $3.50 o'clock both the steam and
water We're turned off for an examination
To all appearances no progress had been
made. There is an increase OF smoke in the
vapor, which is looked on as an indication
that the fire has reached some of the water
soaked timbers and is smoldering rather
than burning. The gas issuing from the
shaft is not SO dense. This afternoon Man

"AUNT BETTY AGED 100.
Oldest Woman i'm Madison County Re-
ported Dying.
0 the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 17-"Aunt Betty
Carolton," Madison county's Oldest woman,
and probably the Oldest in the State, is re-
ported dying. She lives north of this city,
near Frankton, and has passed her one
hundred-and-ninth birthday. Her brother,
residing in this county, claims to be one
hundred and five years old. He was not
married until he was sixty, and then raised
family of thirteen. She had another
brother who died in this county some years
ago at the age of one hundred and fifteen.
Another one died in Wisconsin two years
ago after passing the century mark. Aunt
Betty came to America from Ireland in
1914, and with her brothers walked over the
AlieghenieS to the Ohio. They floated down
the stream in dugouts to where Cincinnati
now STANDS, and then walked overland to
where Hamilton, o., is now located. They
were among those who came to the North
west Territory when Indiana was thrown
open, and were among the first white set
tiers in eastern Indiana. Muncie Anderson
and Kokomo were small Indian camps then.
She used to relate many interesting expert
ences OF early Hoosier days long before
roads were known, and the compass and
sun dial were the only guides. She raised
large family, and of recent years has been
living with a son.
