AGAINST DR.. BROWN.
The Verdict of the Bay Conference
Sustained.

Sustained.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Rev. Charles O..
Brown, D. D., still stands suspended
from the ministry. Bay conference
was declared by the mutual council
of the Congregational church to be JUS
titled in it's action in suspending him.
At the same time, the finding of the
council vindicates him of the original
serious charge, and urges that the con-
ference and the ministers strive to ad-
just their differences. The vital point
of the finding reads as follows:
I'VE find that while Bay conference in its
action fell into Irregularities of procedure,
we are still led upon the whole to justify
said action of Bay conference in suspending
Rev. c. o. Brown, D. D.. on the ground
of charges seriously affecting his ministerial
standing"
This clause read ION the ground of
unministerial conduct when the res
olution was adopted about midnight
last night. The council then went into
executive session again. and the friends
of DR.. Brown-notably Dr. Wallace
fought for milder wording. The dis
cussion lasted into the afternoon, and
then the change in wording was made
The verdict is a victory for the Bay
conference, with a palliative" for Mr.
Brown.
His disposition at the present time
is strange one. he is SuSpenQeQ
from the Bay conference on the Pacific
coast This finding has been justi-
fed by the appellate body. His min
isterial standing is affected. Still he
may remain as pastor of the Green
Street church, Chicago, as long as the
church cares to have him. He may
remain a member of the Chicago as
sociation as long as the association
cares to welcome him into the fold.
No steps were ordered taken to notify
the Chicago association Of the action
today, and it will remain officially ig-
norant of it until somebody cares to
bring the matter to it's attention. Mr..
Brown proposes to keep right on with
his work in the Green Street church
until he is forced to drop it.

The Battle Of the Emblem.,

The rooster. the Star. the strong right
arm of labor. the eagle on a ballot box, the
battle axe, the elephant-all these and
many more are fighting for supremacy to-
day in the great metropolis and elsewhere
The voter who goes Into his little booth at
the polling place in Greater Gotham finds
himself confronted with seventeen ric-
lures. These are to represent to his en-
lightened intelligence the spot where his
political preferences direct him to place a
cross mark. That Is one Of the beauties
CT the Australian ballot. 1t instructs and
entertains as well as serves the purpose
Of the citizen to indicate his choice for
mayor, common councilman or governor.
For the moment Of voting all men are re-
garded as truly equal. They are supposed
to know no more than enough to distinguish
goddess of liberty from a weeping VIII
low. Starting thus on first principles yot-
Ing is easy. It is impossible then to dis-
criminate between the reading and the
illiterate voter. Incidentally the art on the
ballot serves the purpose of the boss to
keep the rank and file Of his followers
from expressing heretical preferences Tor

Protect the Birds.

The District Court of Appeals has made 1t
possible to give full force and effect to the
law Intended to protect the game birds in
this Vicinity. That law was plain enough
IN Its provisions and prohibitions. IT
stamped as misdemeanor the killing of
such birds during the closed season. and
included within its restriction the exhi-
bition of such birds for sale. 1t was clear
Iy necessary to add the latter provision
Tor otherwise the burden of proof on the
prosecution In case Of alleged violation
would be too heavy. inasmuch as 1t could
be claimed by dealer seeking to sell birds
out Of season that they were killed out
side of the District 1t would then be nee
essary to prove that the birds were act
Tally killed within the District. and a pre-
MUM would be put Upon perjury The de-
cision rendered yesterday gives force to
the clause about the display of the birds
At improper times. and thus under the Law
as II now stands interpreted the incentive

Yellow Jnck and Spnin's Army

Week before last, according to official re-
ports received in this city by the marine
hospital service, there were 13 deaths from
yellow fever III the city Of Havana. Twelve
of those deaths occurred among the Span
ish soldiers in the military hospitals while
the other cne carried away a civilian. This
is the proportion that has prevailed
throughout the war In Cuba. notwithstand-
ing the desperate efforts of the former cap
tain-general to decimate the population by
corralling the people in starvation pens.
There is no certain means at hand of as
certaining such fact. but it would be most
Interesting and important TO know just how
accurate are the reports sent to Spain Of
these soldiers who are dying by dozens in
Havana from the fever. Probably 1t is
well for the United States II the reports of
the terrible death rate that now prevails
among the Spanish conscripts are sup
pressed and withheld from Madrid, for in
the light Of the past 1t IS easy to believe
that the Spaniards would Immediately burst
forth with indignant outcries against the
Americans. charging them with sending the
fever to Havana to cripple the royal forces.
Such charge would be not at all prepos-
ferrous, when all that has been alleged in
the past Is considered.
