terrorized the lower Congo His daring
rescue Of Greedy in 1884 brought him
worldwide fame, which has only been ex-
ceeded by his gallant fight at Santiago,
that resulted in the sinking of the Span
ish fleet.
In 1890 Schley took Erc=son's body to
Sweden; in 1891 he was a commander OF
marines; in 1892 he went into the light
house service, with headquarters at Stat
en- Island: in 1898 he made plans for buoy
ing New York harbor. and in 1895 he sue
ceeded Fighting Bob Evans as COM
mander of the cruiser New York.

this gallant action Schley was given COM

Legislature also voted him a gold watch.
About this time there came rumors of
a threatened war with Chile. The Balti-
more was in Chilean waters and there
was talk Of combined attack on her by

| marines had been murdered in the streets
I of Valparaiso. and he was longing for
vengeance On one side of the Baltimore
lay an English man-of-war and on the
other a German cruiser. Schley request
ed the commanders of the ships to move
and give him room for action. They re-
luctantly did so. but a battle was pre-
vented.
For being too ready TO fight, Schley
was rebuked by being ordered into the

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. f. /. Bell, highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport. Cayuga
Co, y. Y, in recent letter, writes as
follows: There has never been anything
that | have taken that has relieved the
Dyspepsia from which l have suffered for
ten years except the new remedy called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since TAX
ing them / have had no distress at all
after eating, and again after long years
CAN SLEEP WELL Rev. F. l. Bell,
Weedsport, n. Y, formerly, Idalia, Col.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a remark
able remedy; not only because it is GER
tain cure for all forms of indigestion. but
because il seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases of dyspepsia well as
in mild attacks of indigestion or bilious
ness. A person has dyspepsia simply be-
cause the stomach is overworked. All it
wants is a harmless vegetable remedy
to digest the food and thus give it the
much-needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy is CIV
en- not only to the stomach but to ev-
cry organ and nerve in the body. A trial
of this splendid medicine will convince
the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and
all stomach troubles can be cured The
tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart
Co., of Marshall, Mich, but so popu-
lar has the remedy become that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets can now be obtained

A Unique Ceremony at the SaIvatia
Army Last Evening

Last evening in the Salvation Army
Hall, on Pennsylvania Avenue there was
a unique ceremony, known as the presen-
tation of colors and swearing-in of re-
cruits. The ceremony was presided over
by Adjt. Owens. assisted by other officers
of the organization. and there was a
large audience present.
The colors of the army, yellow, red,
and blue, We're presented TO the corps by
Adjt. Owens in a neat speech, in which
she spoke of the significance of the flag.
THE yellow" she said ''typifies the
fire of the Holy Ghost, without which the
Salvation Army never would nave attain
ed its prominence as factor in the evan
gelical problem of the world and the
century; the red symbolizes the blood of
Jesus Christ, which washes away the
sins of the whole world and which was
shed for every man, woman and child
here; and the blue stands for holiness and
purity. without which no man shall see
the Lord
The adjutant then told the story of
the inception of the organization in a few
words, explaining how il was that Sal
vationists, the word over, came TO think
SO TluCH OF lEt OF llle Inc
Stars and Stripes also were presented
to the corps, and the speaker referred
glowingly TO the exploits of those who
had fought under the banner of the free
the flag that has never known defeat"
she added.
The swearihg-in of recruits was also
an interesting feature of the service. The
candidates for admission to the army
were lined up in front of the platform
and the adjutant read to them the ar
ticles of war as they were called, which
pledge the subscriber never TO curse,
smoke, or speak wrongfully of anyone
and to always do all they can for those
in distress.
This last article of war said the
adjutant, applies especially TO women"
After an earnest appeal to those pres
ent to live better lives, the meeting was
closed.

who lives near Newtown, in this county,
made cider a few days ago. After ex-
tracing the juice from the ground ap-
pies. he threw the pomace, or CHEESE"
over into a lot in which two Alderney
cows, belonging to ]. Y. Diliatush, Were
pastured. The pomace fermented in the
sun and on Wednesday afternoon the two
Attorneys were turned into the lot. They
soon discovered the refuse and ate OF
1t; so much so. in fact, that they refused
a supper OF cornmeal and cut hay that
night.
Next morning the cows gave no milk,
and Mr.. Dillatush was loud in his denun-
citation of the miscreants who had MIXED
the cows before he could do so. The cows
We're turned into the lot. where their
actions soon attracted the attention of
their owner. They staggered about the
pasture. walking stif-legged. now and
then leaning against the fence in much
the same way that a man with a good
| jag" will do. At intervals they beloved
mournfully and attempted to run and
| kick up their heels. These attempts how
ever, resulted disastrously, and the ami
mails would trip and fall.-F
| Mr.. Dillatush made an examination and
soon found that he had couple of very
| drunken cows, who had got their jag
! from the fermented apple pomace. The
news spread and all day Thursday there
! were visitors to see the cows on a spree.
( The animals kept up their curious con-
! duct all day long but had apparently be-
come sober Friday morning. The results
of their Jag" were apparent, however,
until last evening, as they gave no milk
from Wednesday evening until last even
/ ing.
Charles Zwirlien, who keeps hotel at
Lardville, was one of the visitors and
offered to pay high price for the first
! milking. This made Dilatush suspicious
and he refused to sell. He afterward
| learned that Zwirlein thought the first
product after the cows recovered from
! their jag" might be Il natural milk

sibility of the place and that his theology
cal beliefs We're acceptable TO the require
ments of the modern Congregational
Church.
At the conclusion of the examination it
was announced that Mr.. Evans's theolo-
sical views We're not satisfactory and
that he could not be ordained to the Con-
gregational ministry at that time. The
chief difficulty in Mr.. Evans's beliefs was
that concerning the person OF Christ.
Mr. Evans declared that he was not
fully convinced of the miraculous birth
of the Saviour. He declared that he had
been doing Il great deal of independent
thinking and side reading upon the sub
ject, and as a result was not persuaded
of the trustworthiness of the accounts
given by Matthew and Luke Mr.. Evans 5
examiners objected to this doctrine on
the ground that is savored of Unitarian
ism: that it tended to make Christ M re-
ly an ordinary mortal, with nothing di-
vine in his nature Mr. Evans repudiated
any notion that he had become convert
to Unitarianism. He declared that the
rejection of the miraculous birth was not
necessarily a rejection of Christs diVin-
ity. He argued that God was able to in
carnate himself through the ordir a
nrocess of generation and birth, and that
his view of the matter differed from the
generally accepted view not in kind but
in degree. That is to say If being born
of woman did not destroy Christs oi-
vinity. being born of both man and a
woman would not.
MIR. Evans's position has not brought
down upon his head the displeasure OF
the theological school. The theological
faculty is divided in its opinion OF the
doctrines enunciated by Mr.. Evans In the
same way that it was divided in its opin,
ion of DIR. Buddes conclusions on several
points of Old Testament history. Inc
higher critics are well represented IN the
faculty of the Yale Divinity School ana
the more conservative Congregationalists
are also not ignored. Mr.. Evans's posi-
ton has naturally made profound i'm
preston upon the young men OF the
school. and the subject of Christs birth
is now the one topic.

HE IS NOT ORTHODOX.
A YaIe TheoloEian Loses His Pulpit
for Semi-Unitarianism

New Haven, Nov. l3.-The religious or
thodoxy of Yale, and especially of its
theological department, which has been
recently questioned on the strength of
the patronage extended to DIR. Karl
Budde of the University of Strassburg, Is
again under discussion. This time the
subject has been precipitated by the ac-
ton of the East Fairfield Consolation of
the Connecticut Congregational Church,
which has declined to ordain to the Con-
gregational ministry and to the pastorate
of the Redding Church a member of the
present senior class of the Yale Theo-
logical School; or at. least, has refused
to do so until the suspected young man
has given a more satisfactory account
of his religious views.
The candidate in question is Mr.. Ed
ward Russell Evans. who graduated from
Amherst in the class of 81, and is now
taking the regular course in Yale Divinity
School; he is further distinguished by the
fact that he is cousin of Capt Evans
of the United States navy. Mr.. Evans has
occupied the pulpit of the Congregational
Church at Redding Conn. for some time
past Redding is small town in the eX
treme western part of the State, and the
church over which Mr.. Evans presided
numbered about 100 members. He was in
the habit of spending Sunday in the town,
returning to New Haven to attend the
lectures and recitatlons in the theological
school. This is nothing unusual, but is a
frequent practice among those New
Haven theologs who are so fortunate as
to get a chance before receiving their de-
gree. Mr. Evans. although as yet he had
not graduated from the Divinity School,
was to all intents and purposes pastor of
the church. In that capacity he had given
great satisfaction. He was therefore call
ed recently before the East Fairfield Con-
sociation to satisfy his brethren that he
was in every way qualified for the respon-
