 exercises at the opening of today's session

D., made the re- port for the committee missions and church erection. The report notes substan-

 Ter as field secretary,

 monious debate was precipitated when Rev. Ira Landrith moved a reconsideration of the action of the assembly taken in the afternoon allowing the Arkansas synod to canvass for funds for the Arkansas school. The motion called Rev. F. R.

 ton was adotped endorsing the action oi the denomination churches in their con. demnation of the army canteen. A heated discussion was precipitated over the matter, and pending vote on the ques. tion the assembly adjourned until tomor. row at 10 a. m

 The deceased was the mother of MessrS.

 WILL FEAT FEM ALIVE"
One of the Attractions of St. Vincents Hos- pital Fair-Tonight is Elk
 Night

Another large crowd attended St. Vim cents hospital fair last night, and the nu- merous booths were literally patronized, and the contests waxed warm.
 Tonight will be Elks' night, and the jolly fellows who last week held a little fair of their own will do the reciprocity act and turn out in numbers. special programme has been arranged, and the attractions will be unusually good. A snake-eater more wonderful than Roscoe has been secured, and will 'eat them alive" Among the attractions might be mentioned a solo by J. W. Cooper, Jr.; fancy dances by the McCrossin sisters; band of gypsy fortune tellers in their native costumes and Mem offs band.
 The ladies in charge of the several booths are working hard and are meeting with great success.
 The refreshment department is doing q rushing business, the pretty waitresses being kept busy serving the anxious cus- toners who crowd the booth
 The fair will continue throughout the week, and quite a neat sum will be added to the hospital fund.

 The company they carry numbers an ag- gregation of twenty-one, and comprises the finest colored talent obtainable.
 In the company are twelve little 3picka- ninnies each as nimble and graceful as a dancing master. The two smallest, Dew eys Filipino Babies,' boy and girl, are barely five years of age, but buck and wing dance, cake walk and sing with the same ease, perfection and unconcern as would characterize a grown person.
 The aim of the management is to sub merge or eliminate all coarseness, leaving as a result only a sensitive delicateness, refinement and fitness.

FRANK S. WHITE
Should Be Made Chairman of the Ala
 bama Delegation

Selma, May 23.-(Special.) )-since Senator Morgan has declined to go to the Kansas City convention as a delegate-at-large, it is thought in this part of the state that Hon. Frank S. White of Birmingham should be made the chairman of the state delega- ton, and if he will accept the place it will doubt be given him without opposition. It has always been the custom to make chairman of the delegation to a national convention one of the four deegates-at- large, and as Senator Morgan will not go, MT. c. w. Hooper going as his, alternate, the honor should by all means be given to Captain White.

LITTLE ROCK GETS
 THE NEXT ASSEMBLY
PreSbyterianS Select the Arkan- Sas City on Second Ballot,
NINE OVERTURES ARE HEARD
Protesting Against the Increase in Sal ary of the Secretary of the For eign Mission Board-The
 Matter Went Over

Atlanta, Ga, May 2S.-Little Rock, Ark. was chosen today as the 1901 meeting place of the southern general assembly of the Presbyterian church. Two other cities in- vited the assembly. They were Fort Worth, Tex, and Owensboro, Ky. On the first ballot Little Rock received S7 votes, Owensboro is and Fort Worth A. On the second ballot Fort Worth was withdrawn. Little Rock received 112 and Owensboro 52. The regular time for the annual sessions of the assembly to meet is the third Thurs day in May.
 There was an animated discussion, with out result, at the afternoon session with regard to the salary of the secretary of the foreign mission board. The salary of Dr. S. G. Chester of Nashville, who holds this position, was raised by the executive committee on foreign missions during the past year from 5000 to $2,50O, and the ap- proval of the assembly was asked.
 Nine overtures, among them those or Columbia, Arkansas, Macon and Central Texas Presbyteries were heard, protesting against the increase. The standing com mittee on missions recommended that the matter be left to the executive committee, trusting that they would exercise the most watchful economy in foreign mission affairs" This brought out flood or pro- posals and objections and without action the matter went over until tomorrow.
 Fo, elgn Missions
 The night session was devoted to foreign missions There were but two speakers, c. B. Buchanan, missionary to Japan, and John w. Davis, of Soo Chow, China. Rev. MT. Buchanan said that Japan now had six self-supporting Presbyterian churches.
 "In China" said Dr. Davis, "the British foreign society had during the past year distributed S14,0O0 copies of the Bible and the American Bible society had distributed 500O0O copies, and still there was a demand for Bibles.'
 Coming to the all-important topic of the partition of China, MT. Davis said:
 Russia will probably take the southern part of the empire and part of Corea. But the great central position, which is in real ity the empire of China, will remain under the control of China. In this work the missionaries play a great part and through their efforts only will China be enabled to retain their own territory"
 The assembly is well at it's work. Reports of committees are being brought in rapidly, and as fast as the reports can be acted upon the business of the assembly will be disposed of
 The committee on hymn book is expected to make unanimous report in favor of the assemblys publishing the book.
 The bills and overtures committee has reported on all the matters put in it's hands. A number of their reports have been dock eted and are yet to be discussed
 The body is showing itself a most earn est, persevering, diligent and faithful as- sembly, and this is being remarked by brethren who have witnessed number of church courts in session.
