MUST BE MUTUAL.
The Right to Rescind a Contract Can
not Be One Sided.

Little Rock. Ark, Nov. 9.-The SUI
preme court of Arkansas handed
down decision which is of the
greatest interest to the public in gen
eral, as well as to the brotherhood of
locomotive engineers in particular.
It is well known that the locomotive
engineers are all employed under
contract by which the seniority of
service gives priority of right to en-
ployment suit on the ground that he
business demands that one or more
engineers shall be discharged the last
engineer employed shall be the first
dismissed. One of the senior engin-
GERS having been discharged he
brought suit on the ground that he
was discharged without cause and in
violation of his contract of employ
ment. 1t was conceded that his con-
tract gave him the right to quit at
pleasure and the court denied his
right to recover on the ground that
no contract can be valid that gives
only one party thereto the right to
terminate it. The court holds that
the right to rescind or terminate
contract must be mutual. The decision
IS far-reaching, affecting as it does,
organized labor of all classes working
under contract agreements.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The United

the decision of the lower court in the
case of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission against the Alabama Midland
and the Georgia Central Railway COM
panies and others. The case arose out
OF charges by citizens Of Troy, Ala.
that the companies were disregarding
the long and short haul clause of the
Interstate commerce law. The point
1t issue was whether, when there was
competition between railroad and
water transportation, the roads must
first file lower rates with the inter
state commerce commission, and it
was decided in the negative by the
court.

San Francisco, Nov. "a tale OF
cruelty and starvation on the high
seas was told Monday in the office
of United States District Attorney
Foote by four or five forlorn, weak,
scurvey-stricken sailors, members of
the American ship, John A. Briggs, or
San Francisco. They sWoTe to a com
plant charging Captain ]. w. Badoh
with having musused and starved his
men, while First Mate Johnson will
also be arrested for cruelty and beat
ing and Wounding sailors on the nlgn
seas. The Briggs sailed from Balu-
more a little over five months ago,
bound for this pert. Before month
passed the potato supply became ex-
harsted and FROM then until the
close of the voyage, no vegetables Oh
any sort were served to the sailors.
Three times day the crew was
served with one-half of small loaf
OF bread, making about four slices,
and two thin slices of salt beef or junk,
cut so thin that the sailors could al
most see through it. Before Cape
Horn was reached two men were at
tackled with scuryy, and the entire
crew had been driven to such desper-
alton that in order to save their
lives they were compelled to eat
grease used to lubricate the masts. 1t
is charged that First Mate Johnson
beat Jarvek terribly on several occa-
sions because illness and starvation
prevented his prompt obedience to
commands. Jarvek's arm and nose
were broken. On August % Johnson

for the same cause. The others also

taken fancy to Evangelina Cossio y
Cisneros, the Cuban refugee, and has

would be willing to take the step

est to religious people generally. An
assembly of some so divines met at
Westminster abbey, London, July /,
1643, by order of the two houses of
parliament. Many of the clerical
members were in Episcopal orders
and few were bishops Some were
favorable to a continuation of the
Episcopal polity in the Protestant
church. Among the delegates also
were some pastors Of French
churches in England and a few who
had been pastors of churches in Hol-
land. The assembly was convoked to
vindicate the Protestant character
Of the church of England and to rec
ommend a reformation of the liturgy
and government that would make it
accord with the church of Scotland
and other reformed churches abroad.
1t was authorized by parliament to
prepare a new confession of faith and
catechism. The debates were long
but finally the advocates Of Episcopa-
cy yielded to the Presbyterians. Ill
1S45-'46 the confession of faith was
prepared and in the two following
years the longer and shorter cate
chisms were finished. The assembly
finally adjourned on March %, 1862
AS the confession was formally ap
proved by the church of Scotland in
1647, that year is generally regarded
as the date Of it's PRONUNCIATION, and
ever since has continued to be the
ian churches throughout the world.
The revolt of the liberals in the
church against the extreme state
ments of the confession of faith has
caused a protracted war in the
church. The First church is one of
the oldest edifices in New York, and
it's pastor, Rev. Howard Dufield, D.
D., is widely known in the denomina-
ton. There were Presbyterians in
the city Of New York as early as 1907,
who had principally emigrated from
Great Britain and Ireland A con-
gregation was organized and Rev
Mr.. Anderson was called as pastor in
1717. The first church edifice erect
ed by the society was located in Wall
street, and was dedicated in 1719. It's
successor on Fifth avenue is a splen-
did specimen of architecture, and is
handsomely and appropriately fitted
for progressive work. 1t is the
church that Robert and James Lenox
enriched by their bountiful gifts, and
a tablet on the walls records the
fact that Robert Lenox was its ruling
elder for 80 years, and died in 1899,
at the ripe old age of just four-score
years. There are a number of other
tablets in memory of pastors and
members

Words Columbian Exposition Com
pany Loses It's Suit.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Judge Grosscup
of the federal court bench yesterday
handed down an opinion holding the
Worlds Columbian Exposition COM
pany responsible for the loss
20 the French republic and
the French exhibitors by
reason OF the fire of the night of
Jan. 8, 1894. The loss to the French
republic consisted Of some fine Beau
vais and Gobelin tapestries and two
magnificent Sevres vases made for
ornaments at the entrance to the
chamber of deputies. The French re-
public claimed $4,000 on it's direct
loss and $4,000 more by reason of the
delay and extra expenses attending
the fire. Half a dozen private exhib-
itors have collected insurance and the
court desires that it appear that their
suit is brought in the interests Of the
Insurance companies, and to be linn
tied to the amount accepted in insur-
ance.
