this morning the ATTENDANCE on the part of
the public vas not large usual, but
this is doubtless due to the fact that the
international mission council of women
was in session in the Church of the Govern
ant The women Who might otherwise
have come to listen to the proceedings of
the alliance went instead to the place
where the mission workers are in session.
Under Discussion.
The action of the alliance yesterday in
refusing to consider the Transvaal resolu-
ton and practically nostponing the con-
SideratiOn of the subject until tomorrow
morning, when arbitration is to be con-
siGered, was generally discussed by the
delegates today. The point made by the OPP
pGnentS of the resolution that arbitration
cannot lie reSprted to in such a case, as
the dispute is not between two sovereign
nations. but between a sovereign nation
and one of its dependencies, is not accepted
by the advocates OF the cause of the Beers,
as they do not admit the suZerain power of
Great Britain over the Transvaal.
The session was not opened PROMPTLY at
the hour named-1O oclock-and it was
some time after that hour when the pre-
siding officer for the session raped for
order. Rev. George S. Bishop OF East
Orange. n. j.. the president of the general
synod of the Reformed Dutch Church,
conducted the devotional exercises.
Report From Businesx Committee,
After the minutes had been read and ap-
proved report from the bus ness commit
tee was presented by Rev. DR.. Kerr, the
chairman, who reported the action of the
committee in regard to the resolutions re-
ferred to it. Respecting the proposition to
establish an Office in London for the gen.
eral secretary the committee recommended
that Il be referred to the eastern section,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-10-04

and by the latter to the western section If
such course should be deemed advisable.
The committee reported favorably a reso-
luton thanking Rev. Dr. Roberts, the
American secretary, for his services to the
alliance, which was adopted.
The program for the day was then taken
up, and a report on the committee on work
on the European continent was read by
Rev. DIR. Mathews. the general secretary,
who prepared it. This report is printed IN
the blue book of the alliance, and the
principle features were referred to by DIR.
Mathews. He said it was difficult to I'M
derstand the condition of the churches on
the continent for they differed from any
thing to which the other churches were
accustomed. Their ideas of government
and of liberty are on another basis, he said,
than those of the English-speaking people.
DIR. Mathews impressed upon the dele
gates the Importance of showing some In
terest in the churches on the continent in
stead of devoting the entire time of a Eu-
ropean tour to the picture galleries and
the Catholic churches.
The report of the western section Of the
work on the continent was read by Rev.
James l. Good. d. D., of Reading, Pa. The
report suggested that special effort be made
to provide religious services on the CONT
nent, in view of the tide of travel to the
Paris exposition. The report also express
ed the belief that some effort be made to
utilize the services of the delegates tor the
Christian Endeavor convention which will
be held next year in London. 1t was also
suggested tndl the services III the CnurcneS
on the continent would be made more at
tractive to visitors from the English-speak-
ing peoples if the Scotch tunes used in the
services were varied with English selec-
tons. The report stated that the Episco-
palians were pushing their work on the
continent, and that denomination was do
ing some of the work which had been I'M
dertaken by the Presbyterian churches.
The report recommended the establishing
of English churches on the continent which
could afford practical illustration of west
ern methods in church work. Various plans
were suggested for giving to the churches
of the continent some idea of aggressive,
practical work as 1t is carried on in the
American churches.
Claims of Notwithstanding People.
The next subject taken up was Claims
of the English speaking people on the El-
ropean Continent upon the British and
American Churches" Rev. DR.. Banner

per. He said the field to which his subject

why Women Are Nervous.
British Medical News.

The frequent cases of nervous prostra-
ton or utter collapse of the nervous sys-
TEN under which women go all to pieces. -
as the saying is, have caused much
thought and investigation on the part
of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further research
leads 10 the belief that alum is a prevail
ing cause of so-called nervous proStra-
ton, for the symptoms it produces on the
nervous system after its absorption into
the blood are very remarkable, indeed.
Experiments physiologically made upon
animals by Orfila, Profs. Hans Mayer,
Paul Seim and others, show that alum fire.
quently produces no visible symptoms for
many days after its introduction into the
body. Then follow loss of appetite and
other alimeutary disturbances, and finally
a serious prostration of the whole nervous
system. The most prominent physicians
now believe that nervous prostration, /"
and many affections of the nerves from
which both men and women suffer, are
caused by the continued absorption of
alum into the system
1t is probable that many medical men
are unaware of the extent to which salts
of alumina may be introduced into the
body being under the impression that
the use of alum in bread is prohibited.
Alum, however, is still used surreptitious-
ly to some extent to whiten bread, and
very largely in making cheap kinds of
baking powder. In families where bak-
ing powder is generally used great care
should be exercised 10 procure only those
brands made from cream of tartar.
