Nearly three-fourths of the III pres
byteries of the United States have vot-
ed in favor OF the revision OF the creed
of the church while the other fourth
oppose the change All have voted.
and the revision committee is now in
session in Washington for the pur-
pose of taking action on the proposed
revision The result of the vote is
significant. and may be regarded as
an unreserved admission on the part or
the church that it's statement of faith
is behind the times. The Heralds
creed is Enforcement of Existing Law
May il not be possible that one reason
why the church today has no strong
er hold on the life of the people is
that its laws are not enforced? Would
it not be better for all the Christian
churches to have creeds that could be
more generally and conscientiously
subscribed to and more consistently
lived up to?

MARROW ESCAPE

OF the country-Col. Exley rendered
the Vice Presidency-why he De-
clined.
While IL is now settled that Roosevelt
will be President McKlnley's running
mate, very few people in this city know
the circumstances that relieved the ten
sion Of the situation, and made 1t clear
sailing for the governor of New York.
Early yesterday morning. while Col. w.
H. Exley was engaged in brushing his
luxurlant locks and debating letters to
his private secretary, he was handed a
telegram sent by the West Virginia del
egatlon to the national Republican
convention. which read as follows:
"wnI you give up job in rolling mill
for vice presidency? Party demands
the sacrifice. Bodley will work the
furnace"
A flush spread over Colonel Exley's
face as he perused the message, and
for time he was undecided what
course to pursue. RegaInlng his equi-
polse he Immediately called a meeting
of the stamm House advisory board.
and to them he related the situation
He said that his state needed him more
than the nation: that he could do more
good where he was. His mill was now
working double turn in making armor
plate for the new naval vessels which
must be finished in few weeks on ac-
count Of the prospective war in China.
He appreciated the sacrifice his old
friend Col John Bodley was willing to
make for him, and 1t was as much out
of consideration for Colonel Bodley as
himself that he would turn his back on
the allurements OF Office and remain a
slave to duty and continue to swelter
at the mouth OF the furnace.
The advisory board concurred with
Colonel Exley. and his decision was
wired to Philadelphia. Shortly after
this message was received by the West
Virginia delegation It was nolsed
abroad and the tide again turned to-
ward Roosevelt, with the result chron-
icled in the Intelllgencer's dispatches
this morning. Colonel Exley made a
very narrow escape, for II the mill had
not been behind in filling orders he
would have felt compelled to sacrifice
his interests in accepting the flattering
offer made him.

ing house north OF the schmulbach
brewery, in Alley H.. some time ago,
by consent OF George and Charles
Koch, who agreed to share their room
and allow the stranger sleeping quar-
tiers. However, the new bOarder dis
played his ungratefulness yesterday
morning, by disappearing. not only
with his own belongings. but goodly
quantity OF those Of his room-mates.
IJpon investigation there was found to
be missing a gold watch and chain and
$40 65 in money, belonging to George
Koch. while Charles Koch was minus

and chain and $l1 O5 in cash. The rob-
berry was not discovered until yester-
day morning. when the police were mo-
flied. and furnished with n very good
description Of the alleged culprit,
which resulted in officer Hlnkleman
rounding him up in the Sixth ward.
At the city lookup, when searched
a number of the stolen articles were
found on the person Of the prisoner. A
considerable amount Of the coin had al
ready been disposed of By Bartell.
