THE UiRSZAWIAk CASE.
FIFTH AVENUE SESSION APPEALS TO TIE CEN
ERAL ASSEMBLY.

FIFTH AVENUE SESSION APPEALS TO THE GIN
ERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Session Of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church has made al appeal to tho General Assem-
bly, Of the Presbyterian Church. asking that tho de-
cislon o. the New-York state Synod. which met at
Elmira on October o. directing the Session to give
new trial to Herman Warszawiak shall be re-
verscd or else that the Synod shall be directed to
remand the case 10 The Now-fork Presbytery Tor
retral instead Of the Session.
The friends Of Warszawiak were jub!lant when
the Synod directed the Session Of the Fitth Avenue
PRESBYTERIAN Church to grant Il trial 10 him
on amended charges. The members OF the Session
were guarded in their statements when this de
cision was made public but It WAS evident that
thov did not consider the action OF the synod TO be
evidence that that body regarded Warszawiak as
innocent but that tho trial before the Session had
been irregular in form. It pointed out that
the synod directed that Warszawak be tried on
amended charges" and this was taken TO mean
that The question OF his guilt or innocence was stI.
doubtful.

meets 81 MINNEAPOLIS In the latter part OF n' xt

Here is a little information concerning
some of the last arrivals in the clothing store
that will be of interest to careful men.
Perhaps the election result has occasioned
some overcoat obligations. These fill the
necessities of the occasion, and will, in price
and character, fully satisfy the conflicting in
terests of both sides.
You will note the significant predominance
of rough goods. The rough surfaces have
the lead in style this year, and, OF course,
we are up with the lead.

for most people.
The capes are decidedly prominent this
season-even more so than last. We can
not seem to get too many OF the medium
priced imported capes, nor Of the Golf CapeS
of our own designs.
Paris, London, Vienna and Berlin send
capes to keep brief tryst with productions Of
New York. The arrivals are constant, the
departures almost coincident. 1t is fast
choosing, but easy. Cape prices range from
SIS to $500. We sell most around the $40
mark.

fewer imported Almost every Of the hundred

When Paderewski was staying in
New York. he put up at II of those
gigantic hotels containing something
like 900 rooms.
In the morning the pianist had been
down to the breakfast saloon, and by
way Of exercise thought he would walk
M stHirs again to his own apartment in
stead Of chartering the lift. The conse-
9ucnce was that he lost his reckoning
in the maze of corridors and was COM
pletely at fault,
He was roaming desperately up and
down one passage, scrutinizing the
numbers over the doors, when he was
observed by a black servant of the no.
tel. Noticing the uniform, Paderewski
shouted out his number. The black fell
low looked at the great man, grinned
all over his face and said, Follow me,
sah."
Rejoiced at having found a guide,
Paderewski followed him down several
flights of stairs end along two or three
corridors, until the 0 stopped at a
door, flung it open, and said, still grin
ming, "There you hab it, sahr'
