TREATY IS MADE PUBLIC
ls Practically the Same as Al
ready Announced.
THE RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Il Shows That Press Reports We're Re-
marksbly Accurate Considering
the Supposed Secrecy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The official
text of the treaty of peace concluded be-
tween the United States and Spain, to-
gether with the presidents message
transmitting it to the senate, have been
made public. The treaty contains II
articles, and is, in substance, the same
as the newspaper condensations of the
document already published, though
going into greater detail on several
points.
Accompanying tho treaty is great
mass Of correspondence making a
printed volume Of 1916 pages. This in
.cludes, among other things, all Of the
credentials of the American commits.
doners to Paris and the records of the
daily proceedings Of the commissioners
that led up to the final treaty Of peace,
embodying necessarily all Of the propo-
sitions and counter-propositions. From
an inspection Of these it appears that
the press reports from Paris during the
proceedings Of the commission show q
remarkable degree OF accuracy, con-
sidering the secrecy which was sup
posed to overhang the proceedings.

REV. HENRY THOMAS CALLED.
Will Become the Successor of Rev. GEO.
w. DAME at st. Peters Episcopal
Church,

The Rev. Henry Thomas, of Mar
tinsburg, West Virginia, has been called
by the board of Vestry of st. Peters
Episcopal Church to become the sue
cessor of the Rev. George W. Dame,
who resigned to accept a call to Holy
Innocents Episcopal Church, Baltimore
Md. The Rev. Henry Thomas was in
Smyrna and lectured at st. Peters,
Thursday, February 23rd. The Board
of Vestry was so we'll pleased with him
that they met Immediately afterwards
and extended him unanimous call.
Rev. Thomas held the matter under
advisement until Monday when he
wrote to Mr.. w. F. Dunn, senior war
den, accepting the call, and announced
that he will preach his first sermon
here on Easter Sunday, April end.
Rev. Thomas is personal friend of
Rev. Geo. W. Dame. They were class
mates together at the Virginia Theo-
logical Seminary, Alexandria, and the
bond of friendship that they formed
then has grown with the succeeding
years. He has been rector of the
Episcopal church at Martinsburg for
10 years. He is married, but has no
children. He comes to Smyrna with
fine recommendations, and he will
doubtless serve his church faithfully
and become valuable citizen of the
town.
