Levers. of Alma, temporary clerk No further business was transacted last night The PresbyterY adjourned 10 give way for the last session of the "Deacons and Elders Confer, ence.'
 A very important feature in connection with this meeting of Presbytery was the iniiiatory meeting of the deacons and elders, of this Presbytery, which was called to meet the day previous to the meeting of the Pfesbytery After some very interesting papers and discussions on the work of the deacons, etc, the organization was effected by the election of Dr L. J. Wilson, of Spring dale, permanent chairman and Dr. $. N. Johnson, of Fayette vile, permanent secretary.
 Springdale was selected as the place of holding the first which is to be held some time in August of this year. Very considerable ln terest has already been aroused Ill this movement and discussions of the work and office of the deacon will no no doubt stimulate oGT deaeons to greater effort and rebound to the good of Presbyterianism in this section
 To day has been spent by Presbytery in hearing com munications and the reading reports of the churches. The reports are generally very en- couraglng The Sunday Schools are receiving some special in terest in being reported on a ''Sessional Report Blank" by this Presbytery, as we'll as the regular blank. adopted by the General As semhly.

seeing thar all his medals were in
palce, he looked about for his sword.
Not finding it he began to pace across
the car and call to his men, who were
lying about the floor:

The sleepy quartermaster rubbing
his eyes, looked vacantly in all direc-
tions, and as he could not find the
sword in that manner, arose and
walked into bunch of sheep lying in
corner. They scattered and on the
floor appeared the missing weapon.
The General grasped the sword with
much qualification and replaced it in
his monstrous scabbard.
In few minutes the staff was ready
to move on the Dewey celebration.

Then General turned pale.
"N-n-not bein held in this city," he
stammered.
NO; it's going to be held in New
York, and you'll nave to cross on the
ferry. This is Jersey City,
1t was very fortunate that the mem
bers of the staff did not hear this, or the
Generals reputation for veracity might
have suffered. After inquiring how
long the trip would take, he hurried
back to his men and explained to them
that they would have to cross. the river
in order to get to New York
And here arose very important
point. The entire assets of the Guards
had been previously found to be four
cents, one of which was in such a mutt
lated condition as to be useless. By
this time they had reached the ferry,
having been directed by another
stranger.
"Ah'm hungry" said the chaplain,
complainingly.

men.
"Ah must confess" said the General,
chat All could enjoy a nice breakfus', ,
although at tn second Battle of Man
assas All went foah five days without

Here the helplesness of the situa-
ton seemed to appeal to the General,
and he sat down on a soapbox. Bury
ing his face in his hands, he burst in
to tears. Finally he jumped to his feet
and shouted:
"Ah'll have to do it! Aim fohced
to do it. Nah gallant men, wait fo
me-" And with these incohorent re-
marks he rushed away. his sword, med
ais and spurs all clanking and rafting
for dear life. The staff sat down to
wait for the commander, and in about
is minutes he came striding glooEily
into the room.
It's DONE" said he, striking an at
titude.
Whats done?" asked everybody.

muttered the General, with deep sigh

asked the auartermaster.

shown that the General finally select

back being that there were some

combined efforts of all present, the door
OF the car was pushed back and the
STAFF and its officer in command alight-
ed. They were in long freight yard
and were apparently unobserved. AS
they filed in the direction of the city s
busiest part, the inspector asked:

turning on his questioner with a great
show of warmth, "Know tn way? Why,
