AGAINST REDUCTION.
Presbyterian Assembly Defeats Prop
Ositions to Lower Ratio of
Representation.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 23.-De-
mocracy asserted itself in the Presby-
terrain general assembly Monday after
noon. With a shout the assembly voted
down two carefully considered and pre-
pared plans TO reduce the membership
one by a third and the other by more
than a half. The committee on reduced
representation, appointed a year ago,
was scarcely given courteous treat
ment, so pronounced was the feeling
against getting farther away from the
people. Two members of the commit
tee presented the two proposed plans
one making the basis of representation

Ing the basis Sc ministers in the Presby-
teries instead of "a, as at present. I'm
pressed by the strength of the opposi-
ton, n friend of reduced representa-
ton proposed to send an overture down
to the presbyteries, asking their adj
vice. The motion was laid on the table
with great alacrity, DIR. John w. Dins-
more, of San Jose, offered a substitute
motion, thanking and discharging the
committee, and indefinitely deferring
IlS question Vi reduced representation.
When the vote came there was a mighty
yes and a feeble no The decision
against another part of the senate
committees report was closer. BY a
vote of IS4 to 16S the assembly decided
not to increase from FIVE to ten the num-
Der of ministers necessary to constitute
u presbytery.
Before the popular meeting at night
of the Freedmen's board, the largest of
the meetings held under the auspices
of the assembly, Rev. II. W. Hubert, of
Cleveland, originator of the movement
to raise the $4,000 Indebtedness of the
board. announced that subscriptions
and appointments will foot up $50, 900
or $4,000. For the first time in a gen
Grafton all departments of the Presby-
terrain church are free from debt. 1t
was announced, however, hat every
presbytery is expected to pay the por-
ton CT the debt apportioned to it. as all
excess above the quota which any pres
bytery gives will be devoted to opening
some of the schools which have been
closed for lack of funds.

Council Bluffs, Ia, May 23.-Tele-
graphic reports from every station on
the Iowa division of the Chicago, Rock

LIVE UNDER GROUND.
In Some Parts of France the Lnhab-

In Europe there are thousands OF
people who live underground. Rarely
do they see the light of day, feel the

In the sandstone and chalk and lime
stone districts of France a large portion
of the population lives under the sur

GORILLA AS A PET.
Rare Intelligence and Affection
shown by the Little Creature
In an African Home.

THE incest pet that ever came to my
knowledge" said a woman who has
lived in Africa, was a young gorilla,
the property of a merchant named
Jones. The mother of the baby gorilla
had been killed by the natives, and the
baby was offered for sale. Mr.. Jones
was greatly interested in gorillas and
bought this small specimen for a few
shillings, and soon the baby was climb
ing all over him, u habit these goriIras
have. Mr.. Jones soon found that his
small friend was too young to eat, and
so he hired a native boy to look after
the gorilla. To his delight, little Jenny,
as he named the gorilla, grew strong
and soon was able to sit at the table
with him and eat almost everything
set before her. Above all things she
was fond of bananas and jam. The
black boy developed a very sweet tooth
himself and helped himself on the sly
to the jam. Mr.. Jones inquired how it
came that the jam pot-xas always
empty, and of course poor Jenny got
the blame for it, because she could not
talk and defend herself. But she was
equal to the occasion A few days later
she got hold of the boy waiter, when Mr..
Jones was present, and pulled him to
the cupboard, and after it was opened
she pointed to the boy and to the jam
pot, which was empty again. So little
Jenny revenged herself on her accuser,
and her master trusted her more than
ever. He took her with him everywhere
possible. If he went away without her
she would search the whole place, and
if unsuccessful would continue her
search at the houses/of the other Eu-
ropeans. She would look into every
room, even into the beds, for her mas
ter. If she did not find him, perhaps
somebody would tell her to go home,
that her master was there. She would
go back, and was o~verjoyed if she found
him. Everyone vas attached to little
Jenny. Mr.. Jones intended to take her
home with him to England after he had
her about two years. He was very busy
in the last few weeks and absent from
home a good deal. One can hardly i'm
agine his sorrow when, on his return
home from a long business trip, he
found his little friend dead, either
starved or poisoned.-N. Y. Sun.

bottom of his cup he swallows the con-
tents joyfully. For a second cup the
nickel must be removed and dropped in
as before. The family has endeavored
to make the same nickel do continued
service, but Echo has outwitted them
by his superior staying powers. A
nickel has to be forthcoming at every
meal, and if Echo will not cause n to
materialize somebody else must.
Echo also approves of sweet pastries,
but these cost the family a quarter, as
the little fellow will have non of ten
cent pieces; these are too small and
troublesome to bank properly. After
the meal Echo grabs his nickel or silver
and steals off t. hide it from the sight
of mortal eye.
Recently Echo buncoed a certain rail
road president out of a trade dollar.
Doubling the dogs p~erspicacity, the
magnate gave him a silver cartwheel,
which Echo grabbed with a delirium of
joy, rushed out and placed it in of
his safety deposits-a certain hole in
the wall-before his new friend could
say Jack Robinson.
Doubt cost the president one dollar
in this case. Briefly, these are Echo's
methods of finance. Burglars need not
attempt to loot this bowbow's bank,
for he watches his own treasure sleep
lessly. He is supposed to take his
hygienic ~promenades with great re-
luctance, fearing that thieves or cats
may impoverish him.

RUIN N DEATH.
Disastrous Results Follow the visit
of n Tornado to n County
in Texas.

Houston, Tex, May 23.-One of the
worst tornadoes that has visited Texas
since the storm which destroyed the
town of Cisco, three years ago, and in
which some so people were killed,
passed oven the northwestern portion
of Erath county Sunday noon, the facts
of which were received here Monday.
The storm came from the northwest,
and passed over a strip of country about
200 yards wide, in a s~outheasterly di-
rection. The tornado was accompanied
by vivid lightning and a heavy hail
storm. Several homes and church
buildings were wrecked in several To-
c%alities, the most serious being at
Mount Pleasant, Titus county. The
noon services had just closed, and the
people were just leaving when the wind
struck the building. A bolt of lightning
and the wind descended upon the house
simultaneously, wrecking it and scat
tering the debris in all directions. Will
liam Kaufman was instantly killed,
and some other Is persons were more or
less injured, some fatally. Three are
in a dying condition, according to the
known reports. A woman with a babe
in her arms was struck by lightning,
but m%iraculously escaped death. A lit
tie girl was stripped of her clothing,
and when rescued was alive and but
slightly hurt. The tornado struck
Stephenville and did considerable dam
age, wrecking many houses, but no n
was killed. The Cumberland Presby-
terrain church was unroofed and badly
damaged.
Many buildings in Stephenville were
leveled, among them the Methodist
church. One man was killed and three
injured nea Dublin. 1t is reported that
several were killed six miles southeast
of Stephenville, but the rumor has not
yet been confirmed, Trees and crops
in the wake of the storm are reported
to be totally destroyed, but authentic
details of the disaster have not been re-
ceived. Report also comes hat several
people were killed and injured in the
country through which the storm
passed.

CHICAGO DOG BANKER.
Some New Tales About Echo, who
Knows the value of n Dollar
and Is n True NIser.

There is a dog belonging to MIR.
cago, who is a veritable banker among
animals. He knows the value of money,
boards it like a miser and answers to
the name of Echo.
He is a silver dog and also a sly dog.
If he wore stockings it is certain that
he would keep his savings securely tied
up and hidden in an old one. AS it is,
he utilities cracks between the floors
and walls, in bad weather, and during
the summe s~olstice plants his boards
here and there in the back yard and
jealously guards them with his beady
black eye for fear of possible onslaught
from those watchful felines on the
fence.
Echo is supposed to carry his ac-
count in his head, and his buried treas
ure in no way resembles that of Capt.
Kidd's except in it's magnitude.
The question may have arisen in the
mind of the reader: Glow does this
canine hero make his money to begin
with?"
His method is unique and final, and
came to his consciousness about two
years ago, when he had just passed the
door of pampered puppyhood. He is
greatly esteemed by his owner, and his
idiosyncrasy is accepted as a necessary
part of his makeup.
1t is sad to relate, but true, that Echo
does not earn his wage by the sweat
of his brow, but rather takes advan-
tage of the love his master bears him.
His system is to refuse meat or drink
unless he is paid in advance for his part
of the transaction.
For example, he loves coffee, but will
not touch il unless he is favored with
a nickel. He drops the nickel in him
self, and after the cheerful clink at the

Jones, idea Prevails.

Toledo, May 23.-Mayor Jones' plan
for conducting the Toledo gas plant
won out in the city council last night.
The city clerk is authorized to adver-
tise for bids for running the plant, the
profits to be turned into the city treas
ury. 1t is understood that a syndi-
cate has made an offer to the city to
conduct the plant for 40 years without
cost to the city and to turn over the
profits to the treasury of Toledo. The
advertising for bids is merely to comply
with the law. The gas plant of To
ledo is valued at 81, 500. 900 and has new
er been a paying venture.

Everything, even a magnificent

point of view of the beholder. A Lon
don paper says that two country girls,
who acted as il they might be enjoy
ing a holiday from domestic service,
were observed walking down the aisles
of st. Paul's cathedral. Under the
great dome one of them stood and
gazed around her with an air of such
wonder that a spectator might well
suppose that she was awe-struck by
her solemn surroundings. But when
she spoke, the idea was dissipated.

Cincinnati, May 24.-Arsenic has
been found by DIR. w. H. Crane in the
stomach of John Weaver, victim of his
11-year-old brother James, who is held
for murder. Crane also made a test
for rat poison and found it identical
with that found in the coffee cup in
the Weaver house. This, in the opin-
ion of Coroner Schwab, confirms James
Viewers confession that he used rat
poison for killing his brother. The
father, who was poisoned at the same
time, still lives.
