FOR CHURCH PURITY.
NEW ORGANIZATION WITH THIS
OBJECT IN VIEW.
Formed in New York Under the Auspices
0fthe Presbyterian Ohurch-The OFF,
GERS and Declaration of Principles.

New York. March 3.-At the invita-,
ton of Rev. Henry Van Dyke, pastor
of the Brick Presbyterian church, a
number of prominent clergymen and
laymen in that denomination are meet,
ing in the vestry of that church and
have organized the Church Service
society of the Presbyterian church
in the United States of America. The
organiZa ton is the outgrowth of the
informal discussion of church matters
at the last general assembly in 1896.
1t has been determined that some
movement which was to correct some
of the Inconsistencies of service and
worship in the churches, should be I'M
dertaken and Il number of prominent
members of the clergy met at DR.. Van
Dykes church last October to fOrmu-
late Il plan of operation. The follow
ing officers have been elected:
President. The Rev. DR.. l.. +. Ben
son, of Philadelphia; vice-president.
The Rev. Henry Van Dyke. of New
of Buffalo. y. Y: treasurer. Il. Il.
COmmegys. president of the bank of
Philadelphia. Committee of manage
ment-The Rev. Drs. Murray and Pur-
yes, of Princeton. and the Theological
seminary. both of Auburn: RObt. Ell
lis Thompson. of Philadelphia: Y. s.
Hamlin. Of Washington: Chas. Cul-
bert Hall. president of the Union
Theological seminary, of this city and
RObt. Jeffrey, .Ir., of this city as the
only lay members.
Following is the declaration Of
principles:
|. The Church Service society of
the Presbyterian church in the Unit
ed States of American stands on the
basis of that doctrine of the church,
the ministry and sacrament which is
set forth in the Westminster stand
ards. including within its province all
matters and things which pertain TO
public worship.
>. The society proposes rs its first
bject. an inquiry into the present con-
duct of public worship in the PreShy-
terian church and the various orders
of worship in actual use.
3 The society proposes to study the
modes of worship which have been
in use in the different branches Of
the church and especially in those
churches known as the REFORMED
of which we are one. and thus TO re-
cognize this branch of historical logic.
to make its lessons clear to the mind
of the church and strengthen in our
service the lines which bind us to
historic Christianity.
1. The society aims to follow this
study of the present conduct and past
history of the worship of the churches
by doing such work in the preparation
of forms of service in an orderly wor-
ship as may help to guard against the
contrary evils of confusion and rit-
ualism and promote reverence and
beauty in the worship of God in his
holy house. unity and the spirit OF
common praise and prayer among the
people.

Up-Oabinet Gossip.

| Washington, March 3.-The day be-
fore the Inauguration opened moist
and warm and by 10 o'clock a steady
drizzle had set in. Today'S downfall
gave promise of wet weather, but that
ii would end before tomorrow morn

the following favorable prediction:
Thursday fair and colder. Threatening
weather and rain will continue today,

growing special trains into the city

scene. Around the larger hotels there
was Il crush and at the Ebbitt house,
where the president-elect is staying,
there is a perfect jam. The president
elect retired at late hour last night
and rose early today. When he ap-
peared at his breakfast about 8 O'Clock
he looked the picture of health and
strength. BY 9 o'clock the lobby of
the Ebbitt was crowded by persons
to meet the president-elect either on
personal business or for curiosity.

BIG SEIZURE OF OPIUM.

San Francisco, March Especial
agents of the treasury have seized
nearly 100000 worth of opium, alleg-
ed to have been imported into this
country Illegally.
The treaty with China provides that
a subject of one country shall not i'm
port opium into the territory Of anOth-
er. The opium in question was the
property of Fong Tai, the Chinese
merchant. who had the drug consigned
to II. p. Davidson, an employee of the
Bank of British Columbia. 1t is not
likely that either will be prosecuted,
for in case of failure 10 convict the
opium would have to be returned,
while now it can be sold at public
auction.

TO MUZZLE THE PRESS.
Newspapers From Printing Prize
Fight Pictures.

Washington, March 3.-If the reform
bureau, Of which Rev. Wilbur +.
Craft, Of this city, is superintendent,
is unable to prevent the Forthcoming
glove contest in Nevada between Cor
bett and FitZsimmons, it will endeav-
or to minimize the printed accounts
of the fight. In response to argument
made by Mr.. Craft before the House
of Commerce committee, Mr.. Aldrich,
of Illinois. was directed to report Il
bill to the House the purpose of which
is to prevent the publication of pic
lures of the pugilists and detailed de-
ScriptiOnS of prize fights. The newspa-
pers are forbidden 10 send by mail or
interstate commerce. which latter in
cludeS electric telegraph, either such
pictures or descriptions. the minimum
punishment for which is ten years in
Jail.
The full text of the anti-priZe fight
bill follows:
Be it enacted. etc, That no picture
or description of any prize fight or en-
counter of pugilistS under whatever
name. or any proposal or record of
betting on the same. shall he trans
mitted through the mails in the Unit
ed States or by interstate commerce
whether in Il newspaper of other peri
Odical or telegram or i'm any other
form.
Section Amy person sending such
matter or knowingly receiving such
matter for transmission by mail or i'll
terState commerce shall be deemed
guilty of a miSdemeanOr and shall be
punished by Imprisonment for not
more than five years at the discretion
of the court or by fine not exceed
ing $1,000.
The report accompanying the bill
which was written by Mr.. AldriCh, of
Illinois. explains that all the states Of
the Union. save one or two. forbid
prize fights. which have been sent to
the limbo of condemned customs with
any other Staet of the union if he can
amy.
This bill" the report states. sim
ply protects the more advanced states
which have forbidden pugilism as bru-
tai and brutalizing. against having
prize fights brought into their borders
in pictures and descriptions, which are
only Il little less harmful than the de-
grading sport they describe"
After explaining that this bill does
not forbid brief statements of prize
fights as matters of news. the report
shows how the government forbade
prize fighting in its whole jurisdiction,
driving one fight announced to occur
in one territory into Mexico, which al
so forbade it, and continues:
This bill is only the logical extern
sion and protection of that act and is
in accord with another act of this con
gress prohibiting the transportation OF
obscene pictures. Pictures of the bru-
tally of puSilism are hardly less
harmful to our youth. and it is in ac-
cord with the divorce act of Congress,
which has protected the families of
the whole land against divorce colo
MES in one of the territories. 1t is be
lieved that the reputable press which
describes prize fights only because Of
will welcome this protec-
tiOn"

A survey of Chambers river, Me-, from
