uonored His Uniform.

The capitol police wear natty uni
forms of blue cloth adorned with brass
buttons, and, taken all together, are an
attractive body of men. One of these
public servants,a rather young and
good-looking man, was greatly embar-
raised the other day by handsome
young creature from Virginia, who,
tripping gaily UP to him, pinned
handsome rose to the lapel Of his coat.
"Take that, with my gratitude" she
said, Electrically, my countrys de-

"Country's defender, miss?" echoed
the astonished man.

What He Meant.

To illustrate the foggishness of
phrase with which some people are af-
fiicted, DR.. Crichton Browne told sto-
ry recently. At the annual meeting Of
charitable institution subscriber
claimed that the work was unsatisfact-
DRY, and naturally annoyed the COM
mittee. One of the committeeman rose
and replied: Ladies and gentlemen,
perhaps you think that one-half of the
committee does the work, while the
other half does nothing. Well, as a
matter of fact, you are wrong. The re-
verse is the London Chronicle.

now and the next annual conference. The
carrying out of the plan, it was stipulated,
will be extended for two years, IL neces-
sary, and the money to the missions in
foreign countries, ir was agreed, VIII be at
the discretion of the board of managers,
but, of course, subject to the approval OF
the members of the general committee.
The work and direction of the money-rais
ing movement in the West will be under
the charge and direction of Rev. DR.. w. f.
Oldham, while the board will appoint, tenn
porarily. suitable person for a similar
service in the East.
The only dissenting voice against the
project of raising the sum named for for
eign missionary work was that of Bishop
Merrill, of Chicago. He said he was OPP
posed to the project on the ground that he
regarded it one of the most stupendous
blunders ever undertaken in the history of
the church
Bishop Walden, who spoke in favor of the
project, said that the need of Christian lit
erature in Japan is most urgent and press
ing. In that part of the East, he said, the
people are knee-deep in infdel literature.
Bishop Charles c. McCabe of Omaha,
another advocate of the project to
raise the two millions for foreign mission
airy work as a twentieth century offering.
He said that in the last fifteen years the
membership of the church had increased
over one million. After some further de-
bate ii was agreed, with one exception, to
raise the amount stated. Great efforts will
be used by bishops and pastors to induce
the members of their folds to contribute
generously in furtherance of the under
taking.

REVENUE TAX REDUCTION.
Retail Liquor Dealers VIII Urge II
Upon Congress.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-Following in the
footsteps of the retail and wholesale drug
gists, who are about TO petition Congress to
abolish the tax certain medicines and
drugs, the National Retail Liquor Dealers
Association Of the United States. which
brings in almost every retail liquor seller
in the country, is looking for a deduction of
revenue on the goods and wares it controls
The plan for seeking the lowering of taxes
will be framed at a meeting of delegates
of the association from all parts of the
country, TO be held at the organization
Headquarters here, about Dec 1.
The reduction of the tax on whisky and
beer will be sought by national legislation
The members of the association say they
have a number of congressman pledged and
that Lyman j. Gage, secretary of the
treasury favors reduction, because it
would encourage moneyed men to engage
in the manufacture of whisky and drive out
Illicit stills thus increasing the revenue.
