Bearing on the Welsh Baptist
Church Differences.

The following resolutions are
transcription of that part Of the min
utes of the conference of the Welsh
Baptist churches of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. held at Parsons, Pa,
Nov. 16 and Il, bearing upon the mis-
understanding in the First Welsh Bap-
tist church. of Providence, and taken

CAUCUS IN FOURTH WARD.
Republican Voters viii Meet Today
TO select Candidates

The caucus Of the Fourth ward can
didates for the respective ward officers
will be held this afternoon beginning
at o'clock Judging from the Ell
forts put forth by the candidates them
selves and their followers a very IN
teresting fight is on.
For select council the present incum-
bent William j. Thomas, is being op-
posed for recollection Ivy the common
councilman, Simon Thomas and Evan
/. Davies, foreman of the Diamond
mines. Each man is competent TO I'LL
the position with credit to himself and
his constituents.
Probably more doubt is felt in ref
erence to the battle for the common
council plum. Though Mr.. Gritiiths
has run before and announced himself
very early. he was closely followed by
William w. Evans and later by several
others who soon withdrew, and unless
q dark horse is entered, the two gen
tlcmcn will have to fight it out be-
tween themselves. An interesting ana
entirely uncallCd for attack was made
upon Mr.. Grifliths in yesterday morn
ing's issue of n contemporary by It's
diminutive West Side collector whose
mind seems to he commensurate with
his stature.
As for the smaller offices Of The ward,
no special efforts for the honorS are
being made except in one or two in
stances In the First district David K.
Jones and George Obcrdorfer are try
ing for the register of voters. In the
Third district William Charles, Henry
Nicholas and Edward Williams are
running for register Of voters. Will
liam ]. Williams and Hugh Williams
each would like to be judge of election
and Robert Thomas and Howell Phil
lips covet the position of inspector Of
election,
In spite Of tho fact that a hard bat
tie is on, the candidates met several
times always harmoniously, and the re-
suits Of these meetings as reported in
The Tribune exclusively, proved this.
At their final meeting they mutually
agreed to heartily support whichever
set Of men We're chosen and do all they
could for their success in February at
the general election.

SIMPSON CHURCH SOCIAL.
Novel Affair Was Conducted by the

The ladies of the Simpson Social cir

The pains of rheumatism should be re-
minded that cure for this disease
may be found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The experience of those who have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheumatism,
and have been completely and perma-

medicine to rout and conquer this dis
ease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one
True Blood Purifier and it neutralizes
