Killed in Committee.
AT the business session of the executive
committee this morning of the Fan-Pres-
byterian Alliance, the resolution introduced
yesterday by the Rev. DR.. Cart on TIE
trouble between England and the Trans
vaal, was suppressed, and a perfunctory
report was made later TO the convention.
DR.. G. S. Bishop, of New Jersey, presid
ed this morning. A shorter catechism was
recommended. This was followed by re-
port of the committee on the work of the
European Continent in which it was said
that 15,O 900 people had deserted Catholics Il
for Presbyterianism during the LIST year
il Austria. The Rev. DR.. James p. Good,
of Reading, Pa, asked Americans going to
Europe to attend English Presbyterian
churches instead of hunting up chape-s
devoted TO Americans. The Church OF
England, because of this, be said, was
making great inroads into the other de-
nominations.
Papers were also read by the Rev. DR..
Bannerman, of Perth, Scotland, and Rev.
James d. Paxton, of St. Paul, MINI.

Mrs, Alice Brown today, through her at

When the citizens of Washington go shop
ping for their winter shoes they will find
that the price has advanced at least 20 per
cent over what they had to pay last year
for the same article. This advance in the
price of shoes, however, is not confined to
Washington, but is general throughout the
country.
One of the most prominent shoe dealers in
the city in talking on this subject said to
Times reporter this morning: Two
things have brought about the advance in
the price of shoes, the leather trust and the
beef combine; and without intending it,,
perhaps, the beef combine has greatly aided
the leather trust in forcing up prices. For
the last five years the leather men have
really not made dollar and | suppose they
grew tired and formed a trust for relief.
The shoe manufacturers have stood the
but they, too, have been forced to increase
the price of their goods. The advance in
the price, however, has not been felt here
yet for the reason that most of the large
firms in the city secured their stock before
the pressure was put on. but when the
winter trade opens in earnest then wearers
of shoes will discover the difference in
prices as compared with those that pre-
vailed last year.
This advance in the cost Of leather adds
nothing TO the profits of the shoe manufact-
urer, for he really suffers the same as the
Individual shoe purchaser. This is particu-
iariy the case with those manufacturers
whose stock was low at the time the leath-
er trust and the beef combine were formed.
Inc poor man in way can save himself
from the clutches of the beef combine by
buying less beef and eating more vegeta-
bies, but not so in the case OF shoes, for
he cannot do without them"

DR.. W A. Croffut was the chairman. The

W. Clark. After the election a report OF
the work of the executive committee for
the year was then read by the president
The report contained a resume of the work
OF the association and its objects, follow
ing which came reports from the various
committees and treasurer The last gave a
detailed account of all the receipts and
expenditures OF the association, showing
that a small balance was still on hand.
Several speeches were made and then DR..
Croffut read the following report;
Your committee has since its last Te
port had several satisfactory conferences
with the officers in charge of parks and
spaces in the District Of Columbia con-
corning improvements of reservations east
of the Capitol, and takes this opportunity
TO inform you of the result in general
terms:
During the last session of the Fifty
fifth Congress the appropriation for the
care Of buildings and grounds in the Dis
trict was considerably increased, and Colo
mel Bingham informs US that the sum ex-
pended east CT North and South Capitol
Streets has been proportionally augmented.
Colonel Bingham and the public gar
dener, Mr.. George HI. Brown, have made
large plans for the Improvement of our
section OF the city, which have been the
basis of important work during the sum-
mer, and will be prosecuted vigorously
next year. In fact, more work has been
accomplished since April than in any form
er year in the history of the city.
''Of the eight small reservations (trian-
gles) on Maryland Avenue east of the
Capitol, something valuable in the way of
landscape gardening has been done to all
of them during the year now approaching
its end. Reservation 20I. corner of Mary
land Avenue and Seventh Street has been
graded. sodded and sidewalked, and fine
flower bed will be established in the centre
next spring. Dwarf plants will also be ad-
ded. Reservation 209, Maryland Avenue
and Tenth Street, has been graded, planted
with low shrubbery, sown with grass seed
furnished with water. etc. Others of these

somewhat less improvement, but are to be
