why should not regular Baptists. as

alist of Boston. "Baptists are Congrega-

freedom in forms of public worship. Leav-

ed Congregat ionalsts do not believe that
baptism makes a person a Christian.
Neither do Baptists. Both believe that
every person is Christian who is a dis
Ciple of Christ and in some measure re-
produces the life of Christ through the
power Of the Spirit of God dwelling in
him. The members of each denomination
recognize those of the other denomina-
ton as Christians. Congregatlonalists be-

tism, as are pouring and sprinkling the
latter form having been predominant
among Christians since the first Christian
century Congregationalists believe that
the infant children of believing parents are
included in the covenant of those parents
with God. and therefore that such parents
may properly present their children for
baptism. But CongTegationalists do not in

"Whne we have just been celebrating the
250th anniversary of the Westminster as
sembly our Episcopalian friends antici-
pate next year, the 350th anniversary Of
their Book of Common Prayer. 1t is a
remarkable fact" says the New York
Evangelist CPres) that both the cate
chism and the common prayer came forth
in large part from that Jerusalem cham
Der which Ia this sense is the mother of
us all. 1t is well to be thus reminded Of
the former house of both Presbyterian and
Pre.atist, and whatever have been our
differences in the past, there should toby
be nothing but friendly rivalry in the
Lords work. While the prayer book had
q hundred years the start of the confess
sion, yet that advantage has certainly been
fully made up. The one church
stands for common prayer; the other for
a common faith. The one begins with
man, his name and duty; the other with
God. His attributes and character. And
as faith and prayer are the Christians
duty. and God and man the two centers
of che universe. so preaching and praying.
Confession and creed Presbyterian and
Prelatist, are but two form or phases of
the one true Church of Christ"

Aside from the general group of Sc
curities referred to above. there was
considerable activity only in Sugar Re-
fining and Manhattan. Foreign bank
ing houses were purchasers of about
$4,000 shares of various stocks in this
market, which contributed to the
steadiness which marked the opening
dealings Subsequently the trading in
the general market became very dull,
with only occasional and sporadic in
stances of activity. The bond mar
ket showed the same general DISPOSE

peared in the dealings in stocks.

New York, Jan. 20.-Walter Nash, of

So 500 worth OF counterfeit money in a
vacant house in that city. Ii was all
in bogus 500 notes on the Bank OF
Montreal.
The house was the one formerly oc-
cupicd by William Brockway and his con
federates, Abbie L. Smith ana William
+. Wagner. They were arrested in Au-
gust, 1895, charged with counterfeitng.
Brockway was indicted separately for
having in his possession counterfeit plates
of $500 United states gold certificates
and 500 notes of the Bank of Montreal
and fiber paper.
Brockway will long be remembered as
one of the most skilfu forgerS and coun-
terfeters known in this country. Nash
had been searching for the counterfeits
for several weeks. His attention was
called this morning to some loose bricks
in the floor, and in the hole which they
left he came across the money which
had so long been hunted for.
The United States Treasury Department
has been notified, and the secret service
men will take charge of the counterfeits
and try to find the plate.

PURE WATER THE OBJECT
Report On the requirement Of Land
and Water Rights.
Senate Advised That 1t Would Be
Good Policy to Secure Ger
tain Territory.

| a favorable report was made to the
| Senate yesterday on the bill to acquire
!! land and water rights at Great Falls by
| condemnation. The lands to be con-
| demned are on each side of the river,
| extending from a point near the Gov

Difficult Run enters the river and ex-
| tending back from the river on each

with the title to Conns Island, and all

There can be no question of greater
Importance" the committee says in its
report, Ito the people of any large
city than that of securing sufficient
supply of water, pure in quality and
with a reserve in quantity ample for
the demands of the future. Here it is
not merely local question. but one of
Importance to the whole country as
well. Washington is the temporary
residence of thousands, and is visited
annually by millions coming from all
parts of the country. The United
States owns large share of the prop
erty. The public buildings. parks, and
grounds, as a whole, are the finest in
the world. The demand for new build
ings and other improvements will be
frequent and imperative, as the ma
chfnery of Government must continu-
ally and steadily increase with the in
crease of population of the whole coun-
try. Whatever concerns the welfare OF
this city, therefore, will become more
and more of general interest.
The present supply of water is not
sufficient in quantity or force for pres
ent needs; some action must, there
fore, be taken at once. The riparian
and water rights at Great Falls are
now owned by the Great Falls Manu-
featuring Company, the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company, and the
United States. The extent of the Gov
ernments present interest is in dis
pute, and Congress has the right to
settle the existing differences and all
danger of future controversies about
title, and end forever any danger of
short supply and the continual trouble
and risk of a divided ownership
IF an individual or a business cor
poation was in the precise Sit
uation of the overnment, owning a
part of the water rights, under the
necessity of adding thereto at once, and
with the certainty of needing further
additions from time TO time, there can
be no doubt that the party would seek,
as matter of prudence and common
business foresight, to acquire the en-
tire water right before extensive i'm
provements were made by the other
owners which would greatly enhance
the cost. And in this case what would
be good policy for an individual or pri-
vate corporation would be the more
so for the Government by reason of
the certainty of continuing and in
creasine requirements"
