of the Bride.

New York, April 1.-THE Herald
to-day published the following dis
patch from Washington:
sin regard to the report that
Mrs. Dewey left the Catholic Church
for what she regarded a breach of
confidence on the part OF Father
Mackin, who, she says, secretly
permitted two strangers to witness
her marriage ceremony, Father
Mackin says:
There were but four persons in
the house at the time of the cere-
mony-my two assistantpriests and
my two servants. l am sure the
Admiral did not expect me to dis
charge my servants tor the occa-
sion. AS for my assistants, they
are always present at marriage
performed in the rectory. Lieuten-
ant Caldwell came to me the day
before the event and told me that
the Admiral wished me to perform
the marriage ceremony the follow.
ing day at 10 o'clock a. m. lie
stated that it was the wish of both
the Admiral and his prospective
bride that the matter be kept Sc
crct. 1t was tor this reason that |
went to Baltimore and procured
verbal dispensatlon, which was
granted by Bishop Curtis, in the
absence of the Cardinal.
"Admiral Dewey, Mrs. Dewey,
Mrs. Mclean and Lieutenant Cald-
well arrived at my residence 20
minutes before the time set for the
ceremony / was not at home at
the time, hence one OF my assistants,
Rev. Father Foley, received the
wedding party, and thus, making
their acquaintance, was requested
to be present at the ceremony"

DR.. HILLS OUT
OF PRESBTERY.
Doctrine Question Ignor-
ed by Chicago Body.

Chicago, April 16. With only one
dissenting voice the report of the
committee to which was referred
the request of DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills, Of Brookly that his name
be erased from the rolls of the Chi
cago Presbytery to-day was adopt
ed by that body att regular meet
ing.
The questions of Presbyterian
doctrine raised by DR.. Hills in his
sermon IN plymouth Church, Brook
Ign, did not, however, have any
bearing on the acceptance or re-
lection of DR.. Hills resignation.
The committee reported that it
had correspondent with DR.. Hills
on the subject, and that in his sec
ond letter the Brooklyn divine again
had asked that his name be erased
from the rolls of the Presbytery.
DR.. Hills request, therefore,
that he be allowed to withdraw
from the jurisdiction Of the Chicago
Presbytery was simply a matter
provided for in the Book Of Disci-
pllne, and without any debate the
report was adopted.
ADVOCATES A NEW CREED.
DR.. w. c. Gray, editor of the In.
terror, has prepared for this week 8
issue of that paper, an editorial in
which he announces that the Inter-
ior will advocate movement to
substitute brief Evangelical creed
of the Presbyterian type OF thought
and expression for the Westminster
Confession of Faith. He gives five
separate reasons for that demand.
Speaking on the sub ect DR.. Gray
said last II light that the churches
in Scotland relieved themselves OF
Objectionable statements IN the con-
fesslon by adoptnga supplementary
and an explanatory statement,
which thus became their working
creed. The Presbyterian Church
Of England set the confession aside
and formulated a new, brief code,
which is now the doctrine symbol
of the church. DR.. Gray spoke Of
the Intellectual steps taken ten years
ago by the Northern Presbyterian
Church torevisc the confession, and
declared that people now demand
brevity, clearness and simplicity
in doc triral statements.
"NVhle the Hills incident did not
create demand tor a brief creed"
he continued, sit revealed a degree
OF misunderstanding and confusion
that needs clearing up.
